Mediocre at best. Positive:I called 15 minutes prior to my arrival and the woman I spoke with on the phone politely took my name and said I could come right in. I arrived and was seated immediately for my pedicure. I sat for a solid 5 minutes before anyone else came to tell me they'd be with me shortly, but the water was warm and the massage chair worked nicely, so I was perfectly comfortable. Unfortunately, there are more Negatives than positives. My technician was friendly enough. Asked what type of pedicure I wanted and I simply responded that it had been a while and that I was just pleased to be here to finally get a pedicure and that anything basic is fine. More specifically, asking to just "clean them up." She made some more small talk and eventually tried to upsell me on a "green tea" pedicure. I politely smiled and said something to the effect of "oh no I'm all set with that, thank you." I don't remember m exact words, but "No" was 100% in my response. Next thing I know, she's giggling and chatting with coworkers. I never mind this happening when I am getting a pedicure, and quite honestly, I go there to relax and not talk. I enjoy keeping to myself and enjoying some quiet time. She walks away and comes back and begins the "green tea" pedicure!!! The powder was in the water before I realized what was going on. She looked at me and said something like "it means longer massage" as she was nodding, smiling, and giggling to coworkers. I truly never feel uncomfortable during a pedicure if the staff is speaking to one another, even when it is in another language. For some reason, their conversation and constant giggling made me very uncomfortable. I let her finish the pedicure. It was fine. I was very upset that I got something I didn't ask for. It's not about the money, because I'm happy to pay for a quality pedicure, it's about being heard and being taken advantage of. The pedicure was fine, not outstanding, fine. Side note: during my treatment another staff member came out from the back of the salon eating food that had a particular unpleasant smell on its own, let alone accompanying nails polish fumes. She finished whatever she was eating and sat right down to begin a pedicure. I happened to be in the area, so it was convenient for me to try this place out, but I will not be back. I will make the drive to Ashland and keep my business at Polished. Go check them out instead. Read Less
