The front desk staff is more than courteous -- they are genuinely friendly. The nail technician who kindly fit me in to her schedule for a manicure and polish was also friendly and did a fine job, although color selections are VERY limited and my manicure did NOT include the "soothing soak" promised on the website description, nor did she ask how I wanted the nails shaped when she filed them. My nails look beautiful, but I was disappointed not to get the soak that is supposed to be included in the price I paid. I should have insisted on a discounted price for this omission. My biggest concern, however, is this: I cannot shake the nagging worry in the back of my mind about cleanliness. Don't expect the sparkling clean and shiny salon pictured in the website photo gallery. In reality, room dividers are broken and dusty, plastic plants are grimy, walls are scuffed, floors could use a thorough scrubbing, both soft surfaces (ottomans, chair cushions) and hard surfaces (shelves, desks) are dirty. The curtained-off space where manicures are done is especially lacking in cleanliness and the tools were used, worn, and either dirty or stained, including (especially) porous tools, such as nail files and buffers. Were implements disinfected between clients? I don't know -- I didn't see evidence of that, but that doesn't mean they weren't. But when the space itself is in desperate need of a thorough cleaning and spiffing up, it makes me second guess the cleanliness of the tools and implements. I got my hair cut at Salon Lidori about a year and a half ago and was impressed. Today, it's looking shabby (and not in an intentional shabby-chic kind of way). I tipped generously, as this is a management problem more than an individual employee problem. But if I return -- and that's a big IF -- I will most definitely bring all my own tools and implements and would suggest others do the same.
