Cherry Blossom Salon

Worst mani-pedi I've ever had.  Granted, in my lifetime I've had less than ten, but I still know good from bad.  

I went here because of a deal I purchased on Groupon (and perhaps that was where I erred?  Had I not revealed I had the Groupon would she have done some quality work?  Alas, I suppose I shall never know).  Regardless the reason, my nails were streaky and needed to be touched up, and although the woman was kind and friendly, my mani-pedi was super rushed and sloppily done.  Will definitely not be returning, and wouldn't recommend that others do either.

Linda is a perfectionist and does careful excellent work. The salon is clean and believe me that's not common.  That she is cheerful, upbeat and a pleasure to be with is a bonus. 15 years and I would never consider anyplace else.

I had discovered this place through Groupon, and I scheduled an appointment for a Brazilian wax back in May. Linda is super friendly, and I felt really comfortable given the circumstances (+1 star). I am not sure if she changes the wax after every single person or if she resuses the same wax and double dips. She double dips the same stick into an extremely hot pot of wax. It would be unfair of me to take off one star for an assumption that she resuses the same wax on all her clients. I will be sure to ask her next time, because sanitation is a must!

It actually did not hurt all that much. I have gotten Brazilian waxes from Smooth Operations prior to going here, and those waxes were painless even though my skin is super sensitive. So on a pain scale from 0-10 (0= no pain, 10= greatest pain), I would rate my experience a 3. She was professional and fast (+1 star). I did not get those tiny red bumps afterward either (+1 star).

Happy that it didn't hurt that much, she offered me another Brazilian wax at a discounted price, so I caved in because I thought the wax looked fine. Then I realized after my appointment when I got back to my place that she had not ripped the roots out of some places and missed quite a few patches of hair (-2 stars). I was disappointed because I had bought another wax for August and I did not get the results that I wanted! Hopefully my second visit in August will be much better than the first! I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt since she has had a few good reviews on here.
