OVERVIEW: Do NOT waste your time or money. If I could give zero stars, I would. By far the worst pedicure experience that I have ever had, and I am very easy to please - I know how hard nail technicians work and that they are both artists and body workers. After contacting the owner Keina about my bad experience (my pedicure was chipping after four days!), she sent me a condescending email telling me to go elsewhere and refused to refund any portion of my money.SUMMARY: The place is dirty (really), chairs are not cleaned between customers, soaking bowls for feet are not cleaned or disinfected between customers, staff is disinterested to outright rude, staff does not communicate well, was given a hard time about my Groupon, was given the worst pedicure experience of my life.DETAILS: I purchased a Groupon for the Wine Therapy Pedicure and excitedly booked an appointment for last weekend. On arrival I was told that they would not honor the Groupon (WTF?!) for a Wine Therapy pedicure and that we could only get either a Champagne Pedicure or a Chocolate Pedicure. The staff was disinterested and were obliviously rude.We settled for the Champagne Pedicure.When we first entered Bisou, I was struck by the fact that we given a perfunctory greeting, and that the staff did not wipe down or disinfect the chairs between customers. In addition, the salon is not very clean. The foot soaking bowls were not, as far as I can tell, cleaned or disinfected between customers.Then we come to the actual service. It was Misako (Hisako? Please forgive me if I do not get her name correct!) who did my pedicure, and from the moment she met me she seemed very unhappy to be there. Misako was, in short, rude. She barely communicated with me, and when it came to the massage portion, she simply did not give me a good massage - her movements were confined to awkwardly rubbing the top and bottom of my shins, and she did not do the thorough massage that I expected. When I politely asked Misako to massage the ball and arch of my feet, she literally rolled her eyes at me (my friend noted this immediately, that is now obvious it was), and gave me the worst massage I have ever had in my life.I have had bad pedicure experiences only twice in my life, and Bisou was one of them. In fact, it was the most unpleasant pedicure that I have ever had. Read Less
