T-Nails

Very pleased! They do take walk-​ins, but I recommend getting an appt if possible. I wasn’t able to call ahead because their phone number is not currently listed *anywhere* that I could find it (I have now submitted it to Unilocal). Best pedi ever!

This nail salon is within walking distance of my house so I checked it out on a Friday afternoon. I thought the prices looked good and they were able to fit me in within 15 minutes or so without an appointment. Here’s the deal:
–The first thing I noticed while waiting was that the owners brought their small daughter (5 years old, I think she said) to work and that she was starting to get VERY antsy. She would go up to the customers and imitate the work that her parents were doing (she removed one woman’s old nail polish, pretended to «clean» another woman’s leg while her mother cleaned the other leg in the pedicure chair, etc.). And some of the customers were getting visibly annoyed by this. But her parents weren’t saying anything! Anyhow, I digress (this review is not about the owners’ parenting skills, but I’d like to point out that I can see how others would be annoyed by this behavior by a 5 year old while they are trying to enjoy a relaxing pedicure or treating themselves to a manicure. The little girl did not bother me).
–For my mani/​pedi a total of 3 people worked on me — one massaged my legs for the pedicure (with the right leg having been massaged much longer than the left leg), the other finished polishing my toes, and yet another did my manicure. This made tipping kind of a hassle. I really like continuity with my mani/pedi’s, but this felt more like a factory line — moving everyone along a conveyor belt of nail salon tasks, so-​to-​speak.
–I had to ask the people who polished my fingernails and toenails to remove polish from my skin (I am VERY picky about this. If I am going to pay for a service, I hope that the people providing it will be detailed and not rush through it). Also, I asked for my cuticles to be pushed back and not cut, and the woman didn’t seem to understand what this meant. Maybe it’s just not common here?
–Lastly, the woman who did my manicure did not assist me to the nail dryer despite my nails being wet.
I feel bad about this poor review, but the experience was just wasn’t the best. I will try elsewhere next time, but I might consider going back in a jam.
