Disclaimer: I received my pedicure for free as part of their opening day promotion on 4/8 (I waited in line at The Corners grand opening). At the time of the service, the nail tech was under the impression that the service would be half price, but I had a voucher making it free. My pedicure started out fine. The pedicurist (I think I remember her name, but I'm not going to say it just in case I'm wrong) seemed friendly enough. She lectured me a bit about needing to get a pedicure every two weeks, and told me that she had been doing nails for 20 years. Unfortunately, that experience wasn't reflected in her work on me. As you can see from the pictures, she cut the nails on my big toe down to the quick. She also rounded them deeply on the sides, which I have never had happen in my own 20 years of getting pedicures. She made a cutting gesture at the beginning of the service and asked me if I wanted it, but I said yes thinking that she was just going to trim them a little (I had cut them not too long before). There was nothing wrong with my nails that would require this. This has left my feet feeling uncomfortable in my shoes and I now have to worry about ingrown toenails. Also, at one point as she was using the nipper on my cuticles, she wiped the residue on the top of my foot and looked up at me. I can assume that she was awaiting a reaction, but I didn't give her one. The rest she wiped on the towel my feet were resting on. I can also assume that the service is usually longer/more detailed, as one of the owners of the salon, who was doing my friend's manicure right across from us, expressed surprise that I was done as quickly as I was. I tipped her because I believe is doing so for service people, not because I thought she did a good job. I probably shouldn't have bothered, but I didn't want to be one of "those people". All that being said, the décor was very nice, reminiscent of the Cheesecake Factory. The waiting area is also nice, with a bar area with additional seating. I was told they are working on getting a liquor license. They also have a wide variety of nail colors. There is a small sign that requests tips in cash only, but I don't know if that is a hard and fast rule. I usually don't leave reviews for establishments, but I didn't want to badmouth the place to others without leaving one. I won't be returning and I can't recommend it. Read Less
