I do not recommend anyone going to this salon. After frequenting this place for years, today officially will be my last time. They have tried to nickel and dime me twice including today and I am over it.The first time was back in March. I went for a pedicure, their basic pedicure which was like $23 I believe. I pick my pedicure out of their 'menu' and was happy until I went to pay. I go to the counter to pay and he tells me I owe him $3 more than what was advertised. I tell him that isn't what their price list says, and he replies 'what's the big deal, it's only $3'. I then responded with 'yeah, my $3' he laughs, correct it and swiped my card for the price listed in their menu.Go there a couple of other times, no other incident until todayI walk in wanting to get a fill in and one nail fix. Upon walking in I ask how much to fix my nail, a new guy goes back and ask one of the ladies and then come back and tells me $5. I said ok. My sister then asks 'ok, and how much for a fill in?' The guy which is the manager I believe, tells her $16 and proceeds to tell her because of how long her nails are it's more, which is why it was $16. She and I both respond simultaneously 'ok'. We pick out our color, she starts her nails first and then a new lady walks me to a different table. I sit down expecting to pay $21. $16 for the fill in and $5 to fix the nail. Once again in true form, I go to the counter to pay and she tells me I owe $24. So I respond with no it's $21. She responds back $24. I then proceed to tell her the price that the guy told me, he then picks up his head and responds 'I didn't do your nails, she did'. Which I then say 'so every technician have their own price?' and he just repeats exactly what he said. This is when I become annoyed, and let them know that I was told one price and I am not paying nothing more than that. This is when the lady that is always at the front table jumps up and starts yelling 'It's $24, you owe $24. Pay!' This is when I decided to no longer converse with her and I turn to the guy that told me the price, who tells me ultimately the lady is charging me what he told her to charge. So I say 'I have never been to a salon and they change their prices as they day go on', which he then counters with 'are you refusing to pay' and once again I tell him I am not paying more than $21. He says 'ok' and proceeds to walk to a table, grab the phone, and call 911. As he was calling the police so was my sister and I. Douglasville police shows up, and he attempts to mediate. And to make sure I had witnesses in front of the officer and another customer I tell the manager, the only solution is I pay what I owe which is $21 or he can take the 'fill in and fix' back aka take the nails. He responded with 'that's not how this works, service was rendered' and I respond with 'If I go to Marshalls and pick up a shirt, if I go to the register and decide I no longer want the shirt, they have the right to take it back. So you can have your nails back'. He did not like that answer, and decided to fan me off as I was talking.Ultimately he agreed to honor his original price, and my total was $21.Lesson learned, I will no longer spend my hard earned dollars at this establishment. And although money is important, for me it wasn't about the money. It is about the principle and values, which this place has none.If they continue to take $2-$5 extra from their customer, imagine how much money they walk out with at the end of the week when people aren't paying attention.
