I visit the area frequently got business and was in desperate need of a fill so chose this nail salon based on the Yelp reviews saying that they were friendly and an English speaking spa. The salon is beautifully decorated and easy to get to. I came in on a Monday night and they were slow. I started with one gal and another lady took over.I was baffled by the lady who took over and it seemed she was the manager. She was very rude and didn't talk to me at all. After a few minutes I realized she hadn't cut my nails down (spaced off, it is nice and calming in there) so I told her I'd also like them cut down. She gave me a look and said rudely, "Next, ask me before I file your nails." Well, in all the 17 years I've been getting my nails done, never have I had to mention this, they've always asked...but, ok.She told me "go wash your hands"...having never been there before and where I was seated, I didn't readily see the sink so I asked. She pointed to the sink and said rudely "right there"...ok. I changed my mind on my polish after seeing another girl's color and this seemed to upset my lady...she was visibly annoyed and short with me as I picked my new color. She got the first coat done and I asked for "glitter"...this did not go over well. She begrudgingly helped me get a glitter top coat. I frequently told her "thank you" because I do appreciate her good work and she did a nice job.I sat to dry my nails and she left me there forever and was speaking to another gal in an angry tone so I assume she was complaining about me, but oh well. Finally the original gal came over and gave me a fast dry topcoat and said 5 more minutes...I waited, timed it...no one came back. They were cleaning up to close (it wasn't 7 yet...). Finally I got up and the gal came to ring me up. My total was $20 and I tipped $15 because I thought maybe I'd been a jerk because I changed my polish color and asked for glitter, clearly I'm indecisive. The lady saw this and I again said "thank you". She literally GRUNTED at me...no thank you, come back again, no problem...nothing. She grunted and turned away. I walked out at 7:05...they close at 7, (I went in before 6).I get wanting to be done for the day. I get it may have been a long day. But it had been a long day for me too. I'm a mom of 3, traveled since 3am, then worked all day and decided to take an hour to enjoy myself...and got treated like I was a pain and waste of time. She made me feel incredibly stupid and I find that sad, especially in the business she is in. She did nice work, but nothing extraordinary or that I couldn't have gotten elsewhere. There won't be a "next time" for me. Read Less
