Subject: NailTech:: Re: pedicure spa chair question...update
well....we went to look at the chair yesterday...over an hour to get
there...found the place...small barber shop in Manhattan.....took me into the
back, next to the bathroom and there was the chair...just stuck there....(and
they wonder why they didn't have "the call for it"?) anyway....It looked
great...almost like new...I filled it up...and pressed the button
and...NOTHING....it didn't work! They didn't speak english well and the guys
there knew nothing about the chair..the lady who had used it a couple of times
was cutting someone's hair...the guys kept pressing the button down and they
were trying to keep it down...which as many of you know is NOT supposed to stay
depressed....it is just a light touch and it goes on and a light touch and it
goes off...well they kept pushing the button...I told them they were going to
break the button but I don't think they understood..or cared ..what I was
saying...Aldo asked if maybe there was another cord to be
plugged in...well they tried to look in the back, but it was against the
wall...and well... what a fiasco! They finally found the plug..but it still
didn't work (jets) they kept playing with the massage control trying to start
the jets! THEEENNNN to top it all off...there is a metal like "sign" in the
front of the chair ..that is glued on by the manufacturer...with the model name
on it...well when someone wiped it down with a paper towel, a piece of paper
towel got stuck in the corner, which was slightly bent away from the chair...no
problem...I flicked the little piece of paper towel off.........and out came
running about 5 little baby roaches!! Oh God I HATE bugs.....now these guys (3
of them) are trying to start the chair...looking for the plug, pressing the
button, etc etc.. and all I can think is I DO NOT WANT THIS CHAIR IN MY
HOUSE...what if I bring roaches into the house?? So Aldo and I tell
them...give us a call when you get the chair
started and we'll talk..ok bye...(not ever happening...BTW!)
In the truck...Aldo looks at me and says," that is the problem with buying
something used from a salon, you don't have a warranty and you don't know what
you're getting"... Is it just me or isn't that WHAT I SAID??? LOL!!! Came
home and HE went online to look for a chair. He said there were companies
selling used chairs last time he looked (I couldn't find any) and then he came
down and started talking about new chairs with me!!
NOW...besides the Lexor....anyone NOT like their chair or the company that made
them???????

I have a Lexor I got the Vista and had to replace parts on it before a year was
up.They covered the parts under warranty but I had to do the work.

How powerful is the Lexor compared to the jet tubs? They are very reasonable.

I wouldn't buy a used one! I got the pipeless from lexor! Excellent! Very
reasonable and good quality! My pedis increased a lot when I got my chairs!
Clients just expect it! The pipeless are so easy to clean! I hope this helps, I
know its not the answer your husband wants but I would invest the money!

Wow it's slow on here lately..only getting like 2-3 posts a day...I miss y'all!
LOL!
ANYWAY... I have a question...
I want to get a pedicure chair...I hate the one I have ..it's not a spa it's
the hydraulic chair on a metal base ..with a footrest. You put a "tub" on the
base to soak. Very uncomfortable for me to work on them also.
I *thought* about going with dry pedis...and I wasn't happy with just that.
For some clients that is good...I like working on calloused heels dry, with
product, because I feel like I get better results. BUT...when working on some
other clients...I felt they needed to soak so I could do their "toe work"
better. (My mom for example...elderly, with knarly toes, thick etc...)
SO....I want a spa chair to be able to soak them AND for my comfort...and
theirs. SO....my question is....would you buy a used chair? My hubby wants me
to buy a used one...I don't want to because my feelings are that I do not know
how the previous owner cleaned it and what's growing in there. He says I can
clean it and disinfect it and start "new".
What are your feelings about this? I can show him your answers...or maybe you
guys will change my mind... He doesn't want me to charge it and I do not have
the cash for one right now. I think I will get more pedis also with a pedi spa
set-up. help!
