manicure-pedicure from hell

this is a review i just posted for a recent trip to a nail salon here in downtown indianapolis. enjoyz:

this was the worst salon experience i have ever had. i received a mani-pedi from the middle aged Asian woman, i cannot remember her name. she began the pedi by scalding my feet. then, as if to be a smart a$$, the water was barely lukewarm after i complained. she was very impatient, not allowing much soaking time for my hands or feet before she dug into my cuticles.

i also did not move fast enough for her. whenever i had to move she was commanding me around the shop. after the massage part of the pedicure, she put some extremely hot wet towel that had been soaking in a crockpot on my legs and feet. i have NEVER had anyone do this before, in nearly 20 years of getting my nails done. there was some lotion or oil on the towel, i now have a rash on my legs. i have a wedding to go to saturday, so much for the new knee-length dress i bought.

she did not buff or sand the surface of my nails down at all; i recently had acrylics removed, and so the paint job was horrid. a little time buffing and they would have looked alright, but she made it very clear that she did not care about me as a client. and i had told her i was looking for a regular manicurist near where i live. she allowed no time between the base, color, and topcoats, just slopping it all on there at once. then she stuck me under the fan instead of the ultraviolets, in an already cold room. oh, and the massages may as well have been done by a corpse.

when i asked her to fix one of her polish mistakes, she got an attitude and made it worse, leaving a blank spot. when i asked her to fix that, again w the attitude. i had had enough at that point, told her so calmly, and left.

not only do i NOT recommend them, i would sue her in court for the rash if i could. i had to go and get my nails buffed and repainted, at added expense. i also have to wear pantyhose and closed toe shoes to the wedding now, so the time and money i just spent buying new strappy sandals was a waste. had to go out and buy the right fucking color hose. this has been such an ordeal, i may see about her license.
