Rude woman at the counter yelled at me to "choose a colour" then turned her back on me. Not acceptable. I walked out.

Not a good experience. They didn't check the temperature of the water in the foot spa before putting my feet in it. It was freezing! The pedicurist was rough and rushed through the job. She left me in the chair and disappeared, with no attempt to tell me how long I had to wait. Then about 5 staff members congregated in the very small space next to me and proceeded to eat their lunch. I was horrified to see that the kitchen also doubles as the place they clean their implements, including the razor they used to get rid of some of the dead skin from the soles of my feet! After sitting in the chair and being ignored for over 45 minutes I decided it was time to go. Naturally no one helped me get up or checked the pedicure. But hell, I just wanted to get out of there!

Approximate cost: $30

I've been going there for about two or three years now and I would certainly recommend this salon. Nancy and the girls are friendly, helpful and very accommodating. They do a really good job - I usually have a manicure and pedicure with shellac, and I find it lasts really well (although I do have very strong nails). It's a really relaxing experience - just LOVE those massage chairs!! The foot spas and generally the entire salon is kept neat and clean. I've never had a problem with picking up a bacterial or fungal infection (as some of my friends who've been elsewhere have found). Their late opening hours are a bonus - especially for people who work full-time, and they are conveniently situated near public transport. I really look forward to each pampering session and leave the salon feeling great, with hands, feet and nails looking awesome. I've received many compliments - so it's only fair to pass these on to the salon as well.
