I desperately wanted (and needed) a pedicure, so Tasha and I went to a brand new salon. First mistake, they had only been open for a week. I should have known something was amiss when she asked me if I wanted my nails cut - there was never any question that they needed to be cut. Foolishly I asked for oval. What I actually got was big chunks of nail missing on both sides of the toe. Nothing is symmetrical and some of the toes edges could be used as lethal weapons. However, the final insult was her nicking the skin of my big toe. The cut was extremely small, but it would not stop bleeding. The only medicinal substance they had was rubbing alcohol which she kept applying liberally to the open cut. This obviously did not stem the bleeding. One of the other workers had to go to a store to purchase one bandaid and mercurochrome. Before I knew it they had doused my toe in mercurochrome and then used the one bandaid. But since I was "scheduled" for a spa treatment which required my feet soaking in water, they then wrapped a tissue around the toe, followed by tinfoil, followed by plastic wrap........Maybe I've learned my lesson...
