I have been a regular mani/pedi client at Red Door for a number of years, and if i were writing this in january, i'd give them four or five stars.. but about two months ago they changed the service menu - and increased the prices by 20-30% while decreasing the length of services (for example, a regular pedicure is now 35 minutes instead of 50 - a 30% cut in time, while increasing in price by 20%!) and the quality of the service has plummeted. technicians are rushed, and not...hing is relaxing. feet are left rough instead of smooth, and everyone is running around like crazy. my last 2 pedicures (under the new service) lasted less than 2 weeks each before they looked so bad i removed them and redid the polish myself, whereas they used to last 3-4 weeks. additionally, the change to CND gel, while a better product, resulted in the number of colors available being reduced by half and the colors are all dark and winter and boring. same on the regular essie colors - with the introduction of the CND vinyllux product, the number of regular essie polish colors available has been cut by half, replaced by the vinylux, which has an upcharge and which, in my case, chipped after less than 2 days. once i've finished my manicure series pre-purchase (and they've ditched the ability to purchase series as well), i'll be going somewhere new unless red door realizes they are not twice as good as any other spa in the DC area and returns to providing a quality, relaxing experience at a competitive price point.
