Today I was sent to a Jane Iredale Cosmetics open house 1.5-hr drive away from my house to get educated so I can start selling their stuff. After a bunch of product knowledge sessions, I got enough of Jane Iredale and decided to leave after 3 hours. I got a $39 spa mani at a nearby fancy spa to check them out. Had an appointment at 3:45 pm. Waited about 5 min., then a tech shows up and told me to wait just a few minutes. Another few minutes past. "Come on in this way!" Finally got escorted to a nail room several minutes past the appointment time. I looked down and spotted that the tech wearing flip-flops, the beach sandals.... The nail room was cluttered with stuff on the shelves with perfect paraffin cardboards and nail supplies. I'm thinking this almost looks like an warehouse backroom. The perfect paraffin unit sitting slightly opened on the floor. Polish bottles were sitting on the floor in 3 different buckets. "Have a seat." "Where?" "Over there." "Oh, ok." I sat down. She moves the cheap-looking rolling mani table towards me. She sits on a pedi chair across me. I asked for a fench nail and was told that my nails were too short and won't look good. Fine then. She sets the manicure bowl and told me to dip in. No hand washing, anyone? No sanitizing? OK.... I dip my hands in, playing with rocks on the bottom. Someone comes in without saying anything. The nail room door is wide open, so staff walking in and out freely. The other tech started talking to my tech, completely ignoring me. They talk about her next client and chat about their vacation. Meanwhile, I'm quietly sitting, listening to their "shop" talk. Hands out the bowl, please. Time to scrub. Got scrubbed and then rinsed back in the mani bowl. Next is the hand massage I'm dying to get. A quick 5-min hand and arm massage later, tech says "getting sleepy, hon?" Not really. I'm wide awake and dissatisfied, thinking this is all to the supposedly nice hand/arm massage? The polish job was good. I hope it lasts as she didn't clean my nail beds after she oiled me. I'll keep looking for a real spa manicure experience elsewhere more close to my home.... Oh, but my hands smells really good with the lotion she put on me. I guess I paid my money's worth....
