First, the pluses. The place is clean. They use plastic liners for the tubs and instruments that are sterilized. That's it. Now for the bad stuff.I went there with 2 friends for the first time today. When I sat down the water in the foot bath was cold, so I told the tech about it (in a polite way). She heaved a great sigh, then drained the bath, yanked out the liner, put in a new one and ran the hot water. This time it was boiling. I tried to endure it but it really burned, so I asked her to cool it down. She rolled her eyes at me and made a comment in Vietnamese.Meanwhile, my 2 friends are being offered cold drinks and being pampered. My tech then started on my feet. The trim was adequate if not even and smooth. The "massage" consisted of rubbing my legs up and down and up and down. No kneading. No pressure. Just up and down while staring into space. When she got to my feet, there was very little pressure and none of the accupressure I expected. In fact, she did not even touch my toes (which, if you're wondering, are not gross). My friends were in ohhing and aahing next to me as their techs massaged their feet and legs, including the toes.Then she asked me if I wanted a salt scrub, very good for removing dead skin, she said. I said OK until she said it was "only $7 more." I told her I changed my mind, but apparently she didn't understand me.More lethargic up and down rubbing on the legs, no real massage, just rubbing stuff in. My friends are having conversations with their people. Mine is sullen and distracted. I don't need to make a friend at the nail salon, but I don't think you should be snarling at customers.When I went to check out, the price was $35, not the $28 advertised. I just paid it and got out.I wish I knew the name of the tech, so I could warn you to ask for someone else. This salon has a good reputation. This particular person could single-handedly destroy it with her attitude. By the way, I was never offered a drink or even a smile. Very unpleasant experience.I'm looking for a place to have regular pedicures in my neighborhood. This isn't it. Read Less
