101 W El Dorado Blvd B, Friendswood Texas 77546
If you're looking for foo foo decor, chandeleiers, and ritzy displays, this place is not that, but what you do get that I haven't had in a loooooong time, are technicians that care and don't just give you what you want but what you need. I came here on a whim after finishing business in the area. Looked at some Yelp reviews for recommendations (Thanks for looking out!), and this place popped up first. Other Yelpers had uploaded pictures of the salon's service menu prices, which gave me an idea of what I'd pay, so I decided to take a chance. I looped around twice, trying to get to the place that is in the same vicinity as Sams Club and its gas station. For locals, finding this location is probably easy, for me, a little challenging. It would be nice to have some signage around 45 to know where the location is due to the many winding roads that connect the mall and shopping centers. However, I'm glad I stayed the course. On a Friday afternoon at 3 pm, the shop was empty. That made me a little leery, but I decided to go in. The man who welcomed me was very nice. I showed him my nail, and when I asked what it would cost for all the services I wanted, he wrote the prices down for me. The price was way cheaper than what I would pay for a pedi and fill in Pearland, so why not?! I was given colors to choose from and asked if I wanted Shellac on my toe. I never do, but the man gave me a visual on his nail what my color choice would look like with the shellac on the hand and regular polish on the toe. I've been doing this for years and know one is slightly lighter the other, but I greatly appreciated him going above and beyond to ensure I knew what I was getting - especially being a new customer. I didn't ask for alcohol and didn't use the massager because I wanted to ensure I was paying attention to my nail techs. I had two people working on me at the same time (which really cuts down on time). I watched the local news while they worked, and I was satisfied until BOOM - the nail tech showed me I had fungus! I was so outdone. I had picked a perfect time to get my nails done at a great price and now what? Diane and the man communicated back and forth, and finally, I stated that I didn't want the shellac so the fungus could be taken care of. They both shook their head. I think they may have thought I would still want an overlay and color despite the fungus. I'm not that person. Diane commented after I stated that I was not getting the shellac that she could do a manicure versus just a take off. She gave me the price for the service and we were good. The man asked while Diane was doing the manicure if I still wanted color. Although the unsightly color of 2 nails with fungus was not my desired alternative, I asked what would be best. He stated no color would be best, so I went with it. I was impressed that they didn't try to sell me a more expensive pedicure or other services to make up the cost of the hand services. TT not only showed me they cared about their customers but that they respect their time and money. Once more, the cheapest pedicure here gave me the softest results compared to other more expensive pedicures I've had at other salons. The manicure, despite the fungus, came out beautifully. The shape was really nice and smooth despite no polish. I only wish they had a nail dryer machine to ensure my pedicure is dry before I leave. I just decided to wait some time before I left. As a result of their care and seevice, I left the biggest tip I've ever left a nail salon - almost the same amount I would have paid for my original services. Go here if you want to be cared for as a person and customer. You won't regret it!
