This place needs to be shut-down temporarily and gutted. The cleanliness is forgotten, but the service is nice (not superior). I dropped in during a weekday noontime and was accommodated within 10 minutes, just enough time to pick out a nice OPI polish for my toes. So many colors to choose from: awesome!Before my pedicure, I stopped into the restroom. I didn't want to set my handbag down on the floor (too dirty), and the only level surfaces above the floor (toilet back and a decorative cabinet) were covered with scented candles, Febreze spray bottles, and potpourri baskets. So much perfumed stuff in a restroom hides something: the stink of uncleanliness. I did my business, after hanging my handbag on the room's doorknob. While I sat, I noted that the baseboard vinyl was pulled away from the corners and filthy all the way around. The laminate floor was particularly dirty in front of the toilet. Yuck: that's not *water*!I was led to my pedicure chair in the front corner. As I approached the chair, my nostrils caught a heavy musty odor, as though a leak occurred a while ago and was given the opportunity to turn to mold. The sliding trays and crevices in the pedi chair were not the cleanest, covered with fingerprints, stains and cleaner residue. I just hope the pedi tub had been bleached!My nail tech, Maria, was very competent and nice. Her tools came out of a sealed shrink-wrap, which I hope indicated sterility and not just a snow-job of fake-sterility. Her hands were good on my massage all the way up to my knees. She shaped my toe-nails well, and she did a great job removing dead skin on my heels. She used a base coat and 2 coats of nail color, a happy/springy purple-rose. She left me to sit alone for a bit while my nails dried. That gave me plenty of opportunity to note the tired dirty pillows on the pedi-chairs, the dirty curtains between stations, and two very creepy-looking, heroin-addict types acting like they were going to move in. (I have worked with addicts, so this isn't an uneducated stereotyping of people. The neighborhood in Maumee is declining.)Good service at the reception desk...nice ladies who are personable. I left a good tip (50%) for Maria, as I thought she earned it. The place offers nice service, but not nearly as peaceful as Beauty Bar on Central Avenue. The major difference is the level of cleanliness. I'm not going back. Please, Mr Khoi, do something! Read Less
