For the life of me, I cannot understand why this place is so highly rated, other than the fact that they're affordable. My husband and I came here to get pedicures, based on all the great Yelp reviews. Everything about our experience was negative:- The lady on the phone who scheduled our appointments was rushed and rude, as was the lady who "greeted" us when we arrived. - We scheduled an appointment for 2pm on a Saturday, because the reviews mentioned how busy they get. It was all for naught, though, because we had to wait 20 minutes past our appointment time for two chairs to open up. - The filth factor was high in this shop. We watched in horror as they "cleaned" the chair basins before we sat down. They literally just sprayed it briefly with a cleaning product, and swirled a toilet brush around the basin twice, before rinsing (I doubt they actually also use the toilet brush in the toilets, but that's what the cleaning tool was). It took about 10 seconds, start to finish. - They used the same disgusting dremmel tool on one customer's calluses after another - no cleaning it or swapping out parts. Super Eew!!!- They were packed, and turned away multiple walk-ins while we were there, over the course of about an hour. This is not the type of place you go to if you want a relaxing spa experience. This is more of an inexpensive sweatshop experience, where you go if you don't care about hygiene. Even my husband was skeeved out by the place, and we left wondering if we'd contracted anything. Anytime my toe itched over the course of the next month, I worried it might be the beginnings of an infection (6 weeks later and I feel like all is well and we're in the clear :))That said, my gel pedicure was cheap and lasted about 5 weeks. Still, though, we'll never go back. Read Less
