Perfect Nails

I wish I could give them a zero. Initially when I moved to Hopewell Junction as a Black Woman I had no problem with this place into today. I go to get a pedicure and fill-​in the lady tells me to wait. I noticed she finish a customer and didn’t come to me. I didn’t say anything I just waited. As I sat there waiting for 40 minutes a white woman comes in and is immediately served. I say Ms. who am I waiting for? She points to a gentleman who is working on someone and she is free!!! REALLY! Chinese people please realize you too are minorities! How dare you treat me unfairly!!! So I walked out and took my business elsewhere. I will NEVER go to this place again! Disgusted!

Hopewell Junction isn’t exactly inundated with nail salons, so this place was packed on a Friday afternoon and many of the clientele seemed to have a familiar rapport with all of the technicians. Andy (or was it Randy?) seemed to be everyone’s favorite technician, but I was assigned to a woman who might have been the manager. The salon itself had an industrious feel, not meant to pamper or relax any customers — just get them in and out.
I didn’t mind the surroundings so much, but this was the worst manicure/​pedicure I’ve ever had. The technician botched my cuticle on my big toe but then completely ignored it. After noticing that I was squirming in my seat because something didn’t feel right, she mentioned that «everything was fine» and continued for another 10 minutes. I didn’t notice what was wrong until I let out a shriek when she dabbed acetone over the toe.
Why in the world would you continue a pedicure without stopping use of your tools, and without seeking sort of aid for a bloody cuticle? I wasn’t even asked if I wanted my cuticles cut off (normally, technicians always ask or just push it back). She probably thought it would just stop bleeding and I wouldn’t notice. I also realized that she didn’t really care that she used a nail polish brush right around the cuticle and then stuck the brush back into the bottle. Eww! After the pedicure, the technician then tried to up-​sell me on my manicure (offering designs or acrylics), and after I refused she gave me the sloppiest manicure.
I normally always go to Young Blue Nails in Fishkill but tried this place as per a friend’s recommendation, who probably meant to recommend a specific person. What a disappointment.
