Do you speaka my language?
My birthday present from my dad was a spa package from a place called "Oasis day spa and nails" that included a manicure, deluxe pedicure, and 1 hr Swedish massage. I thought all that sounded great except for the massage because of my current condition, so I thought I would go there and haggle with them and see what all else I could do. Sounds easy, right? Wrong. I get there and all I want to do is talk to someone and possibly set an appointment. I talk to three different people, none of whom speak english. I ended up just getting my manicure and pedicure. How? I don't know.
The service itself was fine, the ladies were nice (I think), there was just a heavy communication problem. I think when I was reading reviews for the place one person complained that they thought it was rude that the staff spoke their "own" language around them. I don't have a problem with that...I would rather they talk amongst themselves then try to talk to me.
Anyway, so when it came time to pay I finally get to talk to someone who speaks english. Again, there was still confusion stemming from the first part of the visit. I didn't really want to do this today, I would have just gotten everything done the same day, but I just sort of fell into doing it this way. So I got the rest of the money credited back to me. Mind you, I can only use it at the salon. Bummer.
It was a hassle, but if you go in there knowing what you're in for and exactly what you want, then I believe it could genuinely enjoyable. I personally enjoyed my deluxe pedicure. My feet feel softer than ever. So go there and ask specifically for "deluxe pedicure".
