Elaine Nail Salon

i came in with an appointment set by my partner, upon coming in the older woman ignored me while I said hello and asked a question but the woman next to her was open to answer them for me. the older woman gave me such a look that felt really uncomfortable. a few moment later they were ready for me , i received a pedicure by the man that works there. They proceeded to rush through my gel mani pedi doing the manicure at the same time while i was in the pedicure chair which was a bit overwhelming because I wasnt asked or prepped for this. my partner who is biracial and lighter skin was met with so much kindness at the door , the older woman was super vocal and happy to take them saying how much my partner was so nice and even standing up by the door to talk to them. I am dark skin and not biracial so you could only imagine how watching this felt. they took their time doing my partners nails which look way better than mine, they barley filed me down. To say the least this did not feel good and i did not feel welcomed, i came in super kind and was treated as if i was an inconvenience. the shop was not packed. this felt like colorism but to say the least i will not be returning. I gave a $20 tip to everyone in there simply because i am a service worker as well, i work full time customer service and was hoping my one day off id be able to enjoy some selfcare but i left feeling a lot worse.

Came in for a walk-in pedicure, service was fast and amazing! My nail tech did a great job, she was very thorough with everything but still efficient and my pedicure turned out so cute. Will definitely be coming back here!

Went to get the manicure. Guy cleaning my hand cut too much of the finger skin starts bleeding then proceed to cough (pleghmy cough) on my hand and i felt it. He didn't even cover it with his hand or elbow, no covering or guard just coughed right into my hand. Then proceed to SNEEZE and WIPE HIS NOSE then went back to cleaning my hand WITHOUT washing hands. Then someone was paying and he processed the payment and the customer was paying in cash and proceed to touch the money and after that got back to touching and cleaning my nails AGAIN WITHOUT washing hands. Very UNSANITARY AND UNHYGIENIC My finger starts bleeding and I left because I don't feel good about everything.
