I'm sick =/ So.annoying. Stomach flu from my dad, who was kind enough to share. sdj;aJD;ska
I have a Valentine's Day mani on right now, but I haven't had the energy to bother with pics yet, so those will come tomorrow. I'm not sure I like it very much anyway.
First I wanted to share this awful experience I had today while going on a quick dusty hunt. I took my little brother to work and on the way home I passed a nail salon that I see all the time. I got a manicure done there several years ago for prom, and I was unimpressed so I never went back. NOW I remember why! I must remind you that I am very new to the art of the dusty hunt, and perhaps I didn't follow proper etiquette but who the hell cares! I went in, and no one was in there but two women watching TV. They literally glared at me when I came in. I'm pretty bubbly and nice even when I don't feel good, but I was greeted coldly. I asked if they sold any polishes, and they both said "No" rudely and dismissively, so I scurried away. Usually I'll fight the good fight but today I wasn't up to it.
A couple hours later, as I was thinking of the SIX holographic China Glazes they had on their polish rack, I realized I hadn't asked if they sold their used polishes. Dumb, I should have asked. Curiosity piqued, so I called and said "Hi, I came by earlier and I forgot to ask if you sell your used polishes. I saw a few I'd be very happy to purchase from you, if possible." Sweet as friggin honey.
hold on to your bonnet. this is what she said to me.
"I remember you. Let me make something clear.. this is a SALON, not a convenience store. I don't sell any polishes here. Didn't I already tell you that?" WHOA Tacky Tina, I was just asking! Sheesh! Stunned, I said, "Yes, but I was asking about used ones. I'm a collector and I was just looking for a particular color." Bitch McBitchenstein says "Listen. You can go to Sally's. I don't have anything for you." She was so snotty and hateful for absolutely no reason. Firstly, if 7-11 carried ChG OMG do you think I'd be traipsing into LE Nails to have a tussle with Tina? Probably friggin not.
So I got attitude, a stomach bug, and no OMG. :( Sigh.
To keep up with the general theme, here's my first ever stamping mani. I used Sinful Colors White on White and Kleancolor Metallic Black. It's so icky. And chipped. And I was so friggin proud. Wore it for about five days. /Lame
and here's my second stamping mani. I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White and Essie Mesmerize. Again, I was so proud. It was like a newborn child.
haha! pitiful. anyway, thanks for reading :) you all make me smile. hope everyone is having a wonderful day. :)
Boo! Mean people suck. Their polish was probably goopey anyway! LOL Hope you feel better soon. :o)
ReplyDeleteOh man that was making ME mad as I was reading how rude she was to you! So strange why she would be that rude, but some people just are I guess! Hope you feel better! And I loooove your black and white stamping especially.
ReplyDeleteYou ladies are so sweet!! I totally agree- some people are just hateful, and it's more sad than anything else. I'm glad you liked the mani Anne :) I have such a sweet spot for black and white combos. It's basically all I wear.. haha.
ReplyDeleteLove the comments :) I appreciate you so much!
I'm just curious... how much does Tina charge for a pedi? What does she think her stellar customer service is worth? And... I hope she gets paid as much to watch TV....
ReplyDeleteAlso - Thank You for following my blog!
haha, Tina wanted $25 for a pedi. I think half of that is her attitude surcharge. Thank YOU for following! I love your blog :) Very refreshing and unique.
DeleteSorry to read you're sick--and you're Dad! I can't believe the response you got (in person and on the phone) from the salon! How can they be in business with that kind of rude behavior to anyone? A convenience store? Is this woman not aware that there are many salons that sell polish, and they are very nice, too! :-) Love your stamping mani pictures! x
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet!! Thank you! I was very surprised, too, but some people are just beyond unexplainable. Needless to say I won't be going back ever, ever again!
DeleteAw, sorry about the mean salon--it always surprises me when people in the business of dealing with the public seem to have no skills at it whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteI like your stamping!
Thank you thank you :) I'm still practicing but I think for my first time that was pretty okay!
