I called on a busy Saturday morning to see if by some small chance they could fit me in for a pedicure, the wonderful receptionist Shani got me in at the time that best fit me. I had student that took her time and was very understanding of what I wanted done. It was a busy day the school was full of patrons and students but everything was running smoothly. I'd definitely be back.
