This is a review for their branch at th Vale on the afternoon of the 7th of January 2017.
The customer service was nothing to be desired. Even we had made an appointment for the 3 of us weeks in advance, we had to wait. The usual staff were not around but that does not excuse substandard service. Honestly, I have no qualms with waiting had the customer service been warmer. A couple of other customers who came in after us received better welcome.
During the pedicure, my skin was cut; it hurt and bled. Again, I would have tolerated that too if the therapist had simply apologised. Instead she attributed the blood to a 3-month old bruise on the next toe. When it was apparent it wasn't that, she said l hurt myself earlier (before the treatment) and it just started bleeding. Mind you, this was 15min after the treatment started! The negative experience continued... Usually the staff help you out of the chair to move to manicure table or wash your hand. Not this time! With my hands just after a SNS soak off, handbag and freshly painted feet with toe separators (no footwear), I was told to wash my hands. I had to move back the armrest, grab my back and step onto the floor with my personal care box and bin there - leaving hardly any space for me step down easily. Again, there was no help. I managed, but my unhappy reaction must have been obvious. There was some attempt at small talk during the manicure to I suppose make things better. Even then, my feedback at the work done on one nail was not entertained. I was told that is how it should be though my right and left thumb French tips do not look similar. The end product of my SNS also shows a brumby, uneven finished. This is not the usual end result I have grown to expect. Also, what happened to good ole customer service where if there is a reasonable piece of feedback given and attempts are made to rectify it and not simply come up with excuses! I have photos to proof all this.
My mum, who also had SNS done, had a rushed job done. Another customer who started about the same time as her was still having her nails done while hers was done. Not much effort or attention was given. At the end, they even forgot to check on whether our toe nails had dried or about removing our toe nail separators. They did mine, then had to be reminded about my mum and there was a reminder before they would check my daughter's. All in all, the worst experience at any nail salo by far. Disappointing for anyone, let alone for someone who has been a loyal customer returning to this place for more than 3 years from even before Ciao Bella took over from Perfection nails. Safe to say I'll be looking for a new place, one where every customer is treated equally by all staff. Read Less
