This place is beautiful but unfortunately the quality of the service is not up to the looks of the place. The staff is not consistent, sometimes they are friendly and service oriented, but other times the business seems to be run by the busy technicians that do not have the time to answer the phone in a pleasant manner or perform a pedicure listening to one's needs, disregarding questions being asked or preferences requested. Like I said, this place doesn't have consistency ...in how they perform a service; depending on the person you get, you can have a pedi that is very well done or you can just have your feet soaked with a mediocre, superficial and quick service. I had a girl that seemed new, untrained and unresponsive to my questions. I had to be directing her on what to do as she didn't seem to put enough detail in each of the regular steps I would expect to have based on previous, better visits. When I asked if she could dry off the back of my legs as she left them wet, she seemed to be impatient and answered in a very unkind way that she had already toweled them off; I had to explain that my legs were still wet in the back to which she responded "I'm going to put lotion" but she didn't seem to care that I was feeling uncomfortable and still wet. Her demeanor was careless, impatient and tense. She rushed the entire service while making comments in a foreign language with her colleagues. I felt uncomfortable. She skipped the hot towel step they usually do and when I asked her if they weren't doing this anymore, she looked at me upset and answered "I do it later, you have to wait". This was the final straw. I realized that I was being more stressed by this experience than relaxed, which was my original wish. The manager wasn't in, so a technician with very little customer service skills made things worse by demanding (with a very bad attitude) that I should give the girl time to do her job. He didn't listen to what I had to say, didn't care what my experience had been, he just wanted me to sit and either have her finish the job or have another girl do it, but my time there had been so unpleasant I just wanted to leave. I offered to pay part of what I got as a "pedicure" (if you can call it that) but he, again, in very bad manners (almost yelling at me), demanded full payment. Communication is an issue when trying to talk to someone that has no intention to listen and no stake in the business as this place seems to be run by unprofessional employees. The facility is gorgeous, probably the best in the Troy/Birmingham area, but the management leaves a lot to be desired. See More Read Less
