Went for Dazzle Nails Spa Pedicure/Manicure (most basic, cheapest) - $50+tax:First impression: Short wait, very friendly all-male staff greeted me. Cleanliness: From first look, appeared to be very clean, however once I sat in the Pedi chair, I realized there was a film from last person in chair next to me. As next person came in, the staff simple rinsed out the tub and seated her (sorry for her and maybe me too??). Under the footrest was questionable dust and trimmings from…who knows who or what. The same goes for the manicure station which was covered in dust from artificial nails. The tools were in a sanitizer station and buffer and files were opened from a new, sealed, package.Product: Although the product bottle displayed QTica, I strongly believe they were generic products simply refilled into high-quality product bottles. I use Creative, QTica and other high—end products found at better salons, and the texture, smell and feel of them were not consistent. Not to mention that when I got home my skin was actually drier and ashy from what I feel were generics.Staff: Super nice, charming staff; however an all-male staff, no matter how qualified, can never understand the demands of such services, as they do not tend primp the same as we females do. Perhaps I am more demanding, but after my services were complete, my nails were filed crooked and were different lengths for each hand/foot. Nail polish used was OPI; however there are dust particles from un-sanitized stations and the polish does not meet the edges or cuticle. I requested that my nails be filed ‘sqoval’, yet they are as straight and crooked as a board.My technician was friendly, but worked too fast and was pushy about trimming the length of my nails, which I had already trimmed, so that only light filing for shaping was needed. Still after requesting that no clipping be done to the length, he simply filed more to get what HE wanted for my length…After only one day, my cuticles on my hands look a bit rough and I need to reshape and repaint my nails.Perhaps this establishment is very good with acrylics, but for natural nail maintenance, I will pay the extra $25 and go to a better salon.
