output: You hear the horror stories and you think, "that won't happen to me." Then the nail tech cuts you, twice, and you think "eh, that's won't be anything." Then you wake up the next day and each big toe is screaming at you and throbbing red, cartoon-style. Accidents happen, so I'm not saying I'll never go back; and I haven't had a chance to call the salon yet so there's that... But, it was pretty clear to me that my pedicurist on Saturday was either new, or oblivious to the fact that when you [accidentally] nick someone you really need to disinfect the area immediately. My fault for not speaking up, but I was busy taking sharp intakes of breath like the wuss I am. Thankfully, after several doses of hydrogen peroxide (I've never seen it foam like THAT) and multiple layers of Neosporin, it appears that I'll be able to keep my toes. Fingers (and toes) crossed. Lesson learned: speak up when something like this happens to you. Make sure they disinfect the cut(s) or get a manager. Your toes deserve the best! Note: I have experienced several successful pedicures here before and am hoping this was an isolated incident. P.S. I made appointments for myself and my guest to get pedicures together at 1:15. Not only did we get in around 2, but the appointments were staggered. Just a heads up that appointments don't mean much here.

Harder than hell to get into (no U-turn on University, no lefts from either direction on Maryland), but worth the trouble. I was on the prowl for dolmas and found some terrific, homemade yumminess here. Will be back to try more! TIP: They offer student discounts. This is much more healthy fare than the junk food surrounding the college.
