To be honest, I rate this place 3.75 stars (cause I'm extra like that). I was searching for a good salon near my workplace and Gel Touch is right down the road! I was able to get an appointment easily and when I arrived they took a while to seat me, but I wasn't in a rush so it wasn't a big deal. The pros:- The whole experience felt pretty luxurious! The pedicure tubs even had citrus slices and roses floating in the water. The shop itself is also really beautiful, super chic and girly with white fixtures, chandeliers, and art deco-esque mirrors. - The shop is also really clean and sanitary!! There was one worker who looked like she was constantly cleaning the entire time I was there; sweeping the floor, dusting the polish displays, washing the windows, etc. Tools were individually sealed and pedicure tubs wrapped with plastic bags that were thrown away after each use- My technician was really sweet. Even though she had set up my pedicure station already, she easily accommodated my request to get my manicure done before my pedicure.The cons:- The polish selection. I found it weird that I couldn't walk up to the display cases to select my polish. Instead, the lady at the front directed me to the basket of color tabs. Not a huge deal, I suppose, but I'm a stickler for brand. I was hoping to stick to OPI exclusively but they didn't have a stark white in that brand (also a bit of a let down). Despite my gut feeling, I just went with whatever white they had. Case in point: it started chipping and cracking the very next day. I was pretty disappointed, I expect a salon that puts so much effort into maintaining a high end appearance to apply that to the one product people come in for as well.- While super chic and spa-like, the benches for pedicures definitely weren't crafted with short girls in mind! My lil legs could barely reach the platform if I wanted to comfortably lean back on the massage pad lol.All in all, I would probably come back here occasionally for the convenience and pampering, but I would bring my own polishes!
