text: Perhaps the owner of this Vietnamese salon read Jenns review and decided to make some major improvements I live just a couple of miles away so this place is convenient for me to go in without an appt Had I read Jenns review beforehand I would not have come here That being saidnThis is my third time here and each time I have found it to be a nice clean environment Each of my visits found the air fresh and free of the usual chemical nail product smell which really nauseates me and causes my eyes to burn I had a manicure and pedicure done this last visit and because business has been slow due in part to the light rail construction and maybe in part to Jenns post I received both services at the same time I was in and out in minutesnWith the exception of one very young and loud tech the rest of the techs were very nice and seemed to want to make sure I was comfortable Massage Chairs are pretty comfortable and each chair has two different remotes one to move the chair back and forth the nd to provide various types of massage nMan what a massage the balls or whatever they use in the chair felt incredible these things move up and down your body from neck to lower back and switch off between different types of massage You can also set it for just one continuous type of massage nnThe only drawback and for me this is a big one is the music Apparantly they put on whatever they want to hear which is usually not very relaxing Twice I asked if they would please put something soothing on instead of the techno beat thing they had blaring from the speaker They obliged me and I received a quiet Thank You from the two other customers there This last visit they had music from their homeland playing which was bearable plus fragrant incense which did help relax me The price is right for both a manicure and pedicure I skipped the sea salt and callous removal options which are extra Technically they do a good job and each time I have been there they take care to sterilize and clean the instruments chairs etc nnOne interesting note While talking to a couple of techs they informed me that many of them were nurses or teachers back in their homeland but because they are still learning to speak english they do not qualify for similar positions here in the States One tech who was not busy was practicing her English using some type of language CD with her headphones on and a study guide You go girlnn I have been seen within minutes of waiting each time nIf someone else has a good recommendation for a nail salon that is a good bargain and is within midtowndowntown phoenix let me know as I am open to trying new placesnRC
