I don't understand how in the WORLD this place has gotten 5 stars from numerous reviewers. I just don't get it...I actually decided to head to this place because of all the great reviews that I had read - I shouldn't have listened. I called a few days ahead and made an appointment for 10am on a rainy Friday morning. I was shocked to see that by 10:15, they were absolutely packed. Which I took as a good sign considering the droves of women coming in the door. I picked my color for my pedicure and was off to the chair. So far, so good. The pedicure was maybe a 5 out of 10. My feet didn't soak at all and while the hot towels were nice, it wasn't like I haven't had the particular hot towel experience before. The pedicure didn't blow me away at all. What DID surprise me however, was when the woman next to me had her sandals slipped on, toe separators put in and then the woman started to polish her feet. Why my nail tech decided to paint my toes without my flip flops on and separators in is beyond me. And then to add insult to injury with barely dried toenails, she's maneuvering my feet into my flip flops trying not to bump them. Really? Did I mention I had a wedding to attend of a good friend that evening? So, I decided to get my eyebrows done as well. I had only planned on having a pedicure and a fill done but I figured what the heck. She did a semi-decent job on my toes.The eyebrows were the best part about the whole experience. Really and truly. This particular woman (I didn't even bother asking for her name because I WON'T be back) should stick to eyebrows and make that it because had she done my nails first, I would have left.I just wanted a fill, that's all. Instead what I got was sore fingers, a LOT of miscommunications and a not so good final product. I should have known right from the start when not once, not twice, but more than I can count she burned me with the damn sander. If she hadn't been rushing (why, I have no idea) and gone SLOW around the areas that are more sensitive - ladies, you know what I'm talking about here - the cuticle, the sides of our nail beds - it would have been fine. After the 2nd finger in and her burning me 3 or 4 times already, I was sweating. I was truly SWEATING because I was so nervous about her doing my nails at this point. After the 2nd nail I told her that it was hurting too much and maybe I should just have my nails soaked off and get a manicure. It seemed like the safest bet. Why she continued to ignore me I have no idea. More $ maybe? After a second request that went ignored, I told her to sand as little as possible because I was done being burned. I've got seriously uneven nails that aren't even covered by gel on the sides. The kind of thing you don't realize until you're halfway home after you've paid a crapload of $ for shitty service. Here's the best part about all of it - I decided to get a design on each ring finger and the idiot puts a design on one finger and goes to my other hand and puts a design on a completely different finger. When I pointed it out she said "Oh. Well, you can put design on these two fingers." Yeah thanks but no thanks. When she realized she messed up and I wasn't falling for her cover, she got huffy (literally, she started huffing and puffing) and bumped two of my fingers with her wrist. She fixed about 4 or 5 fingers by the time she was "done." It was the most ridiculous fill I have ever had in my life. Truly.If her intention was to squeeze every possible dollar from my wallet, she did it. I paid $75 (not including tip) for this crapfest of a nail salon. I've been to better places and don't plan on returning to this one. I shouldn't expect great service from a place that is located right next to Walmart, should I? Shame on me... Read Less
