Im very fond of the technicians that work at this establishment. Which is why I know this is NOT the best that they can do. I stopped going here a while back due to sanitation concerns. I abhorred when my cuticles got nicked & then not seeing the proper disinfecting taking place after being made to bleed. It sent me into a tailspin and this was pre-pandemic! Now Im even more cautious and particular about the services I seek. Upon my return after more than a three-year hiatus the same discomforting practices are still happening (so disappointing). Nail stations, drill bits, and the elbow rests are not being cleaned in between customers. Everything that touches a body part should routinely be getting a nice heavy douse of alcohol then placed under a UV light in between customers. All hard surfaces require a thorough once-over with a Lysol wipe in between customers. The water around the hand washing sink pools and starts to smell stagnant. Which means that its been ignored & allowed to sit all day. It doesnt even take a full minute to grab one of the million towels lying around to keep the countertop and around the faucets dry. Use some lemon scented Mr. Clean to keep that area fresh for goodness sake! Even the little tables attached to the pedicure chairs had not been wiped down in a while. Theyre white so you can tell when theyve gotten dirty. I had to ask and double-check to make sure that a brand new bag liner was placed in the basin for my feet. I didnt see any kind of sani-tablet being dropped into the water that helps to minimize the chance of being exposed to bacteria, fungi, or cross contamination. Once I got home I still had to pumice my own feet to get the rest of the dead skin off. All it seems that theyve done to take semi precautions is take a covid-19 course to get a certificate and put some hand sanitizer out. I need them to do better. I want to see FREQUENT cleaning. I dont understand why there is no emphasis placed on proper hygienic standards. This should be basic procedure. Especially when the pandemic is ONGOING, prices have increased, & tips are expected (SMDH). During this time I was motivated to buy my own kit in order to learn how to do this myself for these same exact reasons. I even bypassed getting my eyebrows waxed because I was so turned off. This is precisely why venturing out into the public poses such a high risk for infection. Everyone is doing the absolute bare minimum to keep people safe. Im not going to become accustomed to paying more to continuously receive less.
