I had gone to La Belle with some friends before and really liked it, so when my mom said she was coming to town we decided to set up an appointment. Due to some traffic issues etc, my mom was quite late and it was very busy. There were no seats left so I went to sit in the chair that would end up being where the pedicure would be done. I told the woman repeatedly I just wanted to wait for my mom and that if she needed to help someone else it was fine. Instead she sat ther...e just looking at me awkwardly for a couple minutes then asked me to put my feet in the water. I was like... okay. So she just ends up starting anyway. I just figured, oh well... I guess I will just hang out in the chair while my mom is getting hers done so we can talk. Once my pedicure was done and her's was beginning I told the woman twice when she wanted to move me to get my nails done, that I wanted to stay there to relax and talk to my mom. There were plenty of empty pedicure chairs so I didn't see what the problem was. Then this guy comes out and basically says we need you to move up here... you will be right there near her. He was talking to me like my wanting to sit with my mom and talk was something creepy. Obviously I was pissed, at this point I really should have said, look, now I wont get my nails done, are you going to make me leave the premise? So anyway I move finally after they were not going to leave me alone, and go to a table, about 10 feet away so there was no talking to my mom now. There was an empty spot next to me so I assumed when her pedicure was done she would get to sit next to me. Around 5-10 minutes this woman walks up with a customer and as they sit down the guy looks up and starts talking to her in his language, presumably to tell her she needed to use a different spot. The girl basically looks over at my mom, back at him, makes some dismissing sound like who gives a damn and sits there anyway. When my mom gets done with her pedicure, she was mad at this point, told them the whole reason we do it is it spend time together and the girl finally gets up and has the other customer move, which I am sure was awkward on that customer. All in all I barely left a tip for the first time in my life. It was literally the most horrible experience I have EVER had at a nail place and I will never be back again. See More Read Less
