Undercover Nail Shop Bloggers

About a month ago Jenean, Tracey and I went for a pedicure.  Tracey and I decided to treat ourselves every 2 weeks to a pedicure because we deserve it! Then We decided we need to blog our experiences and do a review on each salon/nail joint we visit. So here it goes…

Jenean, Tracey and I went to Klassy Nails. It is in Fox Valley Mall, lower level, near the massage chairs.  First impression: it was really busy and someone commented it looked like a sweat shop. Kind of scary, but we patiently waited until we were all seated at the same time in the massage chairs and began our foot soaks. The workers were very nice, hard working, no complaints really. Everyone was happy with their choice of polish, Jenean even got her eyebrows done and they came out lovely.  Tracey walked out with a pair of paper sandals that she donned through the mall, cute! 

Review #1: Klassy Nails, great polish selection, polish lasted 2 full weeks, no chips, nice job! I give this place 10 painted toes, out of 10.

 

 We researched many places for our next visit and this is the time we decided we are becoming nail salon reviewers. We hopped in the car and landed at the first place we saw which was K K Nails, right next to Lover’s Lane in Shorewood, IL .  Tracey and I picked our colors, the color selection was not as good as the previous spot. My lady put on gloves before she would touch my feet, Tracey’s lady did not. Does that say something about my feet? Let me just say the ladies that were doing our pedicures could have made it a little less obvious that they were talking about our feet.  My lady would look at Tracey’s feet and comment in whatever language, my lady would say something and Tracey’s lady said ticklish.  We took it well and know that our feet are not in the best condition but also know that we are here trying to make a difference in the ugly, callous ridden feet community.  This pedicure seemed a bit more thorough. Tracey’s lady used a dremmel, we both got the razor, they also clipped our cuticles. After we were done with the pedicures, we moved to the drying table and rested our hands near the nail drying part of the table. Tracey quickly pulled her hand back and noticed her thumb nail had just been chopped by the dryer. I looked under the nail dryer and noticed that there was a spinning fan that looked pretty scary. I am sure they should have had a grate over this nail death trap! Well we left K and  K’s and had a good laugh. I do not think we will return. Not 3 days later, our nail are chipping, we realize they have painted over our cuticles. And our next pedicure will have to probably be sooner than 2 weeks.

Review #2: K and K’s, Shorewood, IL. Nice people, polish selection needs work, cleanliness is good, Painted cuticles, chipped nailed after 2-3 days, battered thumb nail. I give this place 5 1/2 painted toes out of ten.
