» unsanitary).

I will cut to the issues. First, the sinks are NEVER washed. I noticed on my first appointment, and asked that they use the plastic liner. If you frequent this salon, just watch....in between clients, they run water and dry with an already used towel, or they will take out a sponge (sponges are nothing but bacteria)…no disinfectant; just a dirty used sponge and water. The girls never ever wash their hands. Do you want your hands manicured directly after the manicurist just cleaned gunk from someone's toes? Just think if you get a mani/pedi. No washing of hands before, then you go get your manicure; no washing in between, then they handle cash, credit cards, pens and continue with your hands. Then, they take lotion and give you a «free back/ neck massage». I've been getting mani/pedis for over 20 years, never an infection until this place.

My sister and I were the first clients in one morning last week. They had us sit while they folded towels, etc…We both saw one of the girls reach into the toilet bowl and pull out what looked like a small scrub brush, she threw it in sink. Then, came out to me to start pedicure. I had to tell her to wash hands. There should be Purell used(at the very least) after each client/service. They should be washing sinks with disinfectants. The place is rampant with flies. I complain and they just giggle. And, this is not from occasionally leaving the door open. There is a larger problem here. I have asked numerous times who the owner is, can I speak with him (they claim to not know him or ever see him). The girls are generally nice, but need training. There is never any management present; Just two sometimes 3 girls working. They are always on their phones/FaceTiming friends. I have tried and tried to bring up issues to no avail.

I am going to report them to the board of health. The infections they caused cost me almost 2k. I do not have insurance and it took about 4—6 months to cure infections. My «Park Avenue» dermatologist said that pushing back cuticles/cutting allows bacteria, especially when we are already being exposed by a manicurist with dirty hands, reused nail files, and those towels…are not always (if ever, laundered properly). I have witnessed them get thrown into sink, water soaked, rung out, folded and placed in the warmer. Pay attention, do they ever smell clean? I have even smelled a moldy smell from them. I stopped letting them use towels on me long ago.

I am not even going to touch on the fact that there are not enough licenses displayed for the number of workers.
This is not about the girls…they just need training. They only know what they know.This is the issue of the » owner in hiding». I am certain that the BOH will find him.

Go somewhere else, or continue going here. You have been warned, so at least pay attention to just a few of the things that I have mentioned.

Demand sanitary/safe conditions!
Good luck!
