It wasn't a horrible experience- but I will see a different nail tech if I go back. New rule of thumb: aged= more experienced. My nail tech at anther salon was booked, so I had to go here. It was very hot in there. My back was sticking to the seat. I had to turn the Massage chair off because I was too hot to enjoy that extra friction on my back. The lady, a younger nail tech, Offered me something to drink. They had water, soda, and wine. I chose white wine (which I didn't enjoy because I was so hot. I didn't even want to drink it- and that's not like me. I even put my book down- to be later picked back up to fan myself .) my back shouldn't be sweating !Nail prep- She Barely grazed over my toe nails to scrape them. Just barely. She also filed down my nail as if she didn't really know what she was doing. I remember looking up from my book to look at her to see what she was doing- it was that out of the norm. The Large Scraper- she started scraping my foot with it as soon as they came out of the water. I'm trying to recall if at other shops, they place something on my feet before this process....they do. Whether it's a callus remover or something else. .anyway- here, there was nothing applied. After scraping off the dead skin, She did apply something on the pumice stone and started scrubbing my left foot. However, when it was time for my right, she did not apply anything before she started scrubbing my right foot. So basically, she just started dry scrubbing again. The 1st Massage with lavender scrub - too short. Before I knew it, I heard "put your foot back in the water"The paraffin was definitely hot. And that didn't help my already "hot" temperature. She asked if I was too hot (I was by then fanning myself with my book) and I told her I was. She spoke to someone, and they turned the air on. Thank GOD. 2nd massage with lotion - muccch better than the first. She Took more time and showed more effort.After my feet were lotioned and dried, she had to go back and remove some of my cuticles that she did not cater to the first time-On several of my toes. Painting- After I tried to correct her on what color not to use on my toes- I had told her once before earlier not to use the glitter top coat-she started speaking to her coworkers in another language. When all was over, and I was drying, I tried to take the tissue from between my toes and I messed up the paint. She did fix it for me, and she was courteous. Read Less
