Disappointing Manicures
3 Star Rating: Average

06/06/2008 Posted by en28

I work right next to the spa, so getting manis and pedis at lunch is very convenient and relaxing. Or at least, it used to be. I made an appointment this Monday for a friend and I to get manicures. When we got to the spa, there weren't enough technicians working, so we had to get our manicures one after the other instead of at the same time. Not a big deal (although annoying, because it meant we were late coming back to work). There was also another woman who had made an appointment, and had been waiting for over 1/2 an hour. The woman who did our manicures rushed through the entire thing. The polish was sloppy and painted on to my cuticles. She also waited until just after she finished painting my nails before she asked me to pay, which meant I had to reach into my purse with semi-wet nails. The manicure was Monday-it was completely gone by Thursday. Not only was it chipping, it was peeling off in long strips. I have been pleased with Spa Butterfly in the past, but if service and quality do not improve, I will certainly take my business elsewhere.

Pros: Affordable Manicures

Cons: You get what you pay for
