A bit narked today!:irked:
I have not looked in my local NSS for ages, as they are in an area of town that I dont normally go to. I was passing, and thought I'd have a look in their window.
They have one sticker on thier door saying "NO MMA" - and another saying "OPI REGULATED SALON"!!!!!!!!! - THEY HAVE ONE BOTTLE OF OPI POLISH IN THE WINDOW!!!!!!!! The window is dirty, dusty and just tacky and bare. The smell that hits you as soon as you walk in is just sooooo obvious. A measly SINGLE bottle of some random hand cream too.
Still no labelled pots of powder / liquid and the decor has just gone down hill. When they first opened it was acceptable, and looked quite clean, now its just disgusting, chairs with the stuffing coming out, dirty stained floor and dusty desks, no towels, not a jar of barbicide in sight. ALL the techs were wearing masks. And all the techs were male. Not a consultation sheet in sight.
To my horror, I saw a girl sitting in the pedicure chair - with one of the techs scraping the dead skin off her feet with a KNIFE! Literally a kitchen knife! I couldnt beleive my eyes - surely even the general public would realise this is wrong?
The next thing I saw was a wax pot - on a nail desk - you guessed it - they now do EYEBROW WAXING!!!!! The wax pot was DISGUSTING. Completely covered in dry wax, messy, sticky and had bits in it. YUK. With a used spatula that looked exactly the same as a lolly stick just plonked on the table next to it, with bits on that too, I dont know what it was, but it was foul. With a hand written sign to boot. "Eyebrow wax £8".
In a way it just made me so happy to know that my salon will be the mutts nuts compared to them. But they were still packed with people. I asked for a price list, and the woman saw my nails...... I think she twigged..... lol - but I dont care. I had to ask her twice as she obviously didnt speak alot of English.
Just had to get this off my chest, have any other geeks noticed any new services their NSS's are offering? It seems to me that they are now branching out into beauty treatments too. I think they will hang themselves very soon, all it takes is for them to burn someone with that wax.
Forgot to add - there was another hand written sign - "Tanning - £35 per hour"?!?! I really hope this does not mean that they allow people to go on a sunbed for an hour?!?!?!?
