Oh my.... Β what an incredibly awkward and unpleasant experience. Β The salon seems to be run by several men, who were the crabbiest workers I've ever encountered at a spa. Β The female tech who did my nails was great, but she would probably be beaten into submission if she dropped a file. Β Β During my one and only visit, I saw one man chew a patron out for changing her mind about a color... really, two minutes into it. Β Whereas my fave nail tech (elsewhere but far) would happily change and test colors with me. Β Fine, he was annoyed, but he lectured her for 35 complete minutes about how she wasted his time, and time is money, really insulting her over and over for not understanding the complexities required to do nails, and blah blah blah ---35 minutes!! --- so not only did I feel horrible for this poor woman being endlessly chastised (I cannot believe she didn't walk out), but my precious "mini-escape" for relaxation time was anything but. Β Β WE GOT IT in the first three sentences dude, I'm sure no one who was in the salon will ever change their mind about a color with you again. Β Where did this relentless anger come from? Scary! Β Another man seemed to take delight in insulting several customers... one game woman finally took him on and they bandied about, which was great, because it ended the awkward misery of watching him treat other women like crap. Β And there's more! The guys made it VERY CLEAR they did not want to be there, they did not want to do nails, they all pointed at each other when a new customer walked in, and said out loud, in English, how much they did not want to do anyone's nails or take the next customer. What? Β I don't love my job or all of my clients, but I sure as heck don't announce it to my co-workers and clients! It's called a job, not a yacht club, you get paid for it. Β Seriously, at least in my world, busy professionals and parents go to the nail salon for a nice relaxing mini-escape...the ambience is key. Β I don't need you to do my nails. I'm going for the experience and relaxation, and using rare free time to do so. Β I feel very sorry for the female techs who are probably very good. I feel worse for the customers that end up here. Β Β This should probably be a one-star review, but...I'm kind of scared of being hunted down if I give one star. Β So one positive -- the place seemed clean... but don't go to relax! Read Less
