I had been going to Tina to get my nails done for awhile now. My sister was the one that referred me to Tina (owner), even though my experience with Tina is a little different than my sister's experience. I didn't mind that too much with all her personal questions or when she was rough on my hands. Today I went to get my nails done, but before I go, I called to ask if Tina is available and if she would be able to take me, the person that answered the phone told me yes, even asked me what time I prefer, I responded 3pm. She said, "Yes, Tina will be available for you."I got there; I was told by her Tarah that I would have to wait for 45 mins if I want Tina to do my nails. I looked over at the back, and Tina was in a pedicure chair. She heard me asking for her, but she just ignored me. But I assumed she must be busy otherwise she would at least say hi. Tarah continues telling me that Tina has a client at 3pm. So I asked if anyone else can do ANC nails, Tarah said yes, and asked another lady (Joann) to do my nails. I was all right with that. My mom was in the front by the entrance waiting for me. Tina at this point is NAPPING. She woke up and walked over to her station. Tarah started to tell her about Me wanted Tina to do my nails. Tina said told Tarah who I am and she said it all in her language (Vietnamese ) not knowing my mom who was waiting for me can speak and read Vietnamese. My mom did not want to say anything until these girls refer me and my sister a bitch. My mom then asked the lady that did my nails why they are calling and talking about customers that way. The lady responded to my mom that because there are too many customers and that most of them won't understand Vietnamese. Then my mom said that doesn't matter you shouldn't be talking crap about your customers, you never know who can understand you, and they are the one that brings you money, show some respect. Then that lady said to my mom "oh you don't do this job, you don't know how we feel, it's tiring". My mom responded " It doesn't matter. Tiredness doesn't give you the right to call anyone nasty names and words." That lady then walked away and came back continuing finishing up my nails, and she asked me if that was my mom. She's now started saying all nice thing to me which at this point I still didn't know what they all talked about because I don't speak nor understand Vietnamese. The lady also asked me if I understand Vietnamese. And I said no.After she did my finger nails. She told me to go to sit in the pedicure chair. As I was doing that, there was another customer walked in who is not Asian and is pregnant, she was instructed to go sit in one of the pedicure chair, as she was doing that, all Tina, her sister and a couple of her staffs said about that pregnant lady that she is pregnant got a big belly , why does she still want pretty nails. Oh, and she also called my sister, my mom and I "KAMPUCHEA" which is a rude and disgusting way to call Cambodian. That is like calling African American or any black man an N word. ** For those who doesn't know the history between Cambodia and Vietnam here's a little story behind why Tina the owner and Tarah her brother/sister don't like us for no reason is because Cambodia and Vietnam once had a war with one another. and some people are still holding on to this racism and hates. And unfortunately, Tina and Tarah are a few of them. ** Tina, later on, IM me on messenger and try to twist things. She said she didn't called us any bad words. She told me to google this world "Con nho" which isn't a bad word. But she's actually called us "Con Cho" which mean bitch. So there you go, if you go to that salon, listen for that word. I will NEVER go back there again. And sorry for this wrong reviews but I am not going stand behind racist, rude, and disgustingly disrespectful people. Read Less
