Made an appointment for a manicure and pedicure for a Friday afternoon a few weeks ago.I made sure to make an appointment because Fridays are usually busy at nail salons. I arrived there a few minutes early. The salon is very large, and it was rather busy, even though there were about ten technicians working in the salon on that day.No one greeted me, and there was no receptionist at the front counter, so I took a seat in their waiting area. I waited for about a half hour while a person that looked like either the manager or owner, walked back and forth several times without greeting me or other people walking in. She made eye contact, but made no effort to greet people. Finally, after trying to make eye contact with several technicians in the hope of being noticed, I got up and walked over to the nearest technician, to let her know that I had an appointment, and had been waiting for a half hour. That technician walked over to the person that I had assumed was the manager or owner to tell her that I had and appointment and had been waiting for half and hour. The manager looked at me and said nothing and continued what she was doing. That same technician, that i had initially approached, signaled for me to come back to the pedicure section, and told another technician in the pedicure section to work on me next. While I was seated the chair waiting for my designated technician, that same manager/owner that had ignored me and other customers, got up from what she was doing, gave me a mean look and then knocked a small trash can over, that was near my feet. In retaliation for what, I have no idea. The technician that did finally work on my nails, Tina, was very friendly and nice and did a good job. Also the large group of employees seemed friendly to the regulars. I guess Happy Nails is not interested in obtaining new customers. They don't have to worry. I have decided not to make purchases in places where employees, owners or managers are rude. Even though I live around the corner, I won't be returning. It's not like there is a shortage of nail salons in this area. Read Less
