I'm sad to say that this establishment up until my last visit had been my go-to place for all my nail care. My most recent experience did not go as well. As you guys probably know, going to nail salons are always risky because with improper tool disinfection, you increase your chances of getting fungal infections and such. It's a must that the most preventative way is for nail salons to autoclave their tools and pack them into sterile blue packs afterwards. NEVER go to establishments that use barbicide solution as: 1) they are usually diluted to save money and 2) they do not kill all harbored bacteria and fungus. Anyways, this is why my last experience led to this one-star review:1) Up until then, I had just assumed that the tools had been autoclaved as seen by their blue sterile packaging, but I decided that day I was going to ask to validate this, cause hey, it's my health that's on the line right? So I decided to ask this older-looking gentleman nail technician, as the lady who was doing my nails (shoulder-length curly hair), had stood up to get something. As he was working on my friend's nails (who was sitting next to me), I asked him how the tools were cleaned, and I didn't think he understood me as he gave me a confused look. However, when the lady who was doing my nails came back, he started to talk to the lady in Vietnamese, and they both started looking at me. As they were talking more, the lady started to glare at me and give me this dirty look. I truly don't understand what that was about, and I was honestly confused. Had he understood what I had said? Did I say something to offend them? But, that was that, and I never got my original question answered. 2) Unfortunately, my pedicure experience with this same lady was terrible that day. I had gotten the callus treatment with my pedicure, and her technique didn't leave my feet smooth at all. After I got home I could feel the coarse ridges on parts of my feet where she had buffed. It felt like someone had used gritty sandpaper and went over my feet with half an effort. Never again. Read Less
