I had a wonderful experience here

by Katarina899 at Citysearch

I had a wonderful experience here. I went in for a manicure/pedicure and short reflexology massage on a Saturday afternoon. The staff took their time and did an excellent, thorough job on every service. It was definitely a more relaxing experience than most salons; the atmosphere was clean, quiet, and inviting. All the staff who worked there were professional and polite. I was very pleased with the results of my mani-pedi and the massage was also excellent. I will definitely go back. Highly recommended!

• Pros: Great service, atmosphere
• Cons: Opens at 9AM instead of 8AM

Overrated

Yes, the inside of the location is beautiful,everything seemed very clean, products were good, and there was no sales pressure. But the receptionist was unwelcoming and borderline rude. The chairs were really uncomfortable and not made for people to get a manicure and pedicure simultaneously (and that was the most unfortunate part since I was treating myself to the top og the line hydrating manicure and tropical pedicure). I would prefer to go somewhere nice where I enjoy the experience- not just think its pretty and clean. Aesthetics only go so far. I will also read these reviews more often and not give the business the benefit of the doubt

what is going on here!?

by sunshinesweet101 at Citysearch

I must say this place just keeps making changes. Staffing is so inconsistent. The vibe is so negative now. They have new front desk staff and I must say this new gal that I have never seen is so rude to the employees it really bothers me. I used to get a very "family oriented" feeling and now it is so far from that. She talks to them as if they were slaves and not employees, where's a manager when you need one! I remember another gal that was once there for a while would hug the gals and they would all be happily working. I must say the nail gals among them selves will keep that attitude but this front desk rude-ness is not where I want to be. I miss the family I would come to see now I feel like I have to hide in the chair so I don?t have to hear this woman put those gals down. I still love those nail gals but the place does need a nicer, caring loving person that makes you want to keep coming back! The 1st impression to any building you enter starts at the front, always remember that.

• Pros: nails are amazing and very clean
• Cons: parking and front desk
