I came in for manicure & pedicure lured by location (Miracle Mile) & prices (cheap-inexpensive) $8 for ""seniors"" & $10 for others, myself. First, I don't believe one must spend a lot of money for a great beauty service, particularly mani-pedi. HOWEVER, with Concepto, you definitely get what you pay for. FYI, I get weekly manicures & biweekly pedicures. I noticed the women who was serviced before me. Her nail polish job looked sloppy. Polish was on the skin & not a professional look at all. The nail lady brought a foot tub wrapped with a plastic bag & told me to put my feet in it while she did my manicure. I put my feet in the lukewarm-coolish water. I watched her do the manicure & wondered if she was licensed bc her technique looked amateurish. I noticed a young lady getting highlights. She looked frightened. The lady painted my nails. The limited choices include milani, revlon and old Essie products. At the end, my polish, too, looks so sloppy as if I had done them myself. I decide to cut my losses & forgo the pedicure. The manicure took 45 minutes & looks so bad I wish I could post pictures here. As for the girl getting her highlights. She looked at me while my nails dried & asked me how her hair was looking. She said her hair is a very light brown. But it was now brassy & Orange with streaks of platinum blonde. I brought her a mirror & she began to cry. The girl said she had been there since 11am. It was now 1:30pm. I felt so bad for her. I was telling her about a place to get it fixed that wasn't too expensive. All of a sudden, the ladies appeared to understand English. Obviously, they probably weren't too happy about that. But it didn't matter. Tomorrow I'm going for a REAL manicure & pedicure which will end up costing more than if I'd gone somewhere else to begin with. Go here if you choose, but remember, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR & THE CHEAP COMES OUT EXPENSIVE. Better options are Kelly at City Nails in Kendall/127th or Beauty Strategy in Coral Gables.
Pros: It's cheap
Cons: Finished product looks like it's cheap
