Willow L.'s Profile

I work up the street from this nail salon and I have passed by in wonder quite a few times. I have been craving to get my nails done for a while now. I checked Yelp and saw there were no reviews yet, and I took a shot!

I am not disappointed at all. I had a Thursday 1:00 appointment and when I first walked in, the one nail lady there (I wish I remembered her name, she was very nice) was finishing up a pedi and I told her I had a 1:00. She said "Can you wait?" I at first took this as rude. I sat down and only had to wait about 4-5 minutes for her to finish up the pedi. She called me over and got right to work on mine. The first thing I noticed is that she was very talkative. She is not the only employee but from what I understand, during this time of year on weekdays, there is not as much business - so she is the only one there during afternoons. She was really sweet! She seemed really interested in me and my job, in a nail-lady kind of way. Even though when I walked in I was not into talking, she got me explaining my job and my love life within minutes, a cliche yet very entertaining experience!

My nails look gorgeous - I believe it was about 28 dollars for the full set/french tip (25 for a normal full set, and I believe this is very standard). I got nothing but compliments. On the 8th day, I noticed they are already starting to lift a bit on my pinkies, and that is usually a sign of a lower quality job, however, it is barely noticeable, and definitely not the worst. I plan to go back on the day of 2 and a half weeks for a fill, I hope to update on how they look then. However, it is the 8th day  now and looking good.  I am going to keep going back! Thanks Esthetic nails, I will be back!

Usually I write pros and cons for reviews. This time I only have one sentence.

I was told I had a cold and to go home, but I actually had pneumonia.

Pros:
Department store of second hand items
Everything is cheap, unlike Salvation Army thrift store
Sometimes you get the item for even cheaper than the price tag. I bought a mug there that said 99 cents it ended up ringing up as 47 cents.
A large selection in almost every section.
Kids clothes looked like the best selection.
Lots of records, perfect for the collector.

Cons:
Electronics may not have cords, be sure to look closely before thinking of buying.
Very small section for plus sizes.
Shoes look pretty haggard, and good luck finding the matching one if you like a pair.
Many babies with dirty diapers smelling up the place
You need at least an hour to spare if you walk into this store, even with something in mind to look for.

Pros:
-Portofino Sandwich [thin sliced ham, cream cheese blended with pesto sauce on sliced sourdough topped with tomato]
-Decent chips selection
-Soda Fountain (Medium sized cups have ample room)
-They will toast your bread upon request
-Standard tuna salad on toasted sourdough is perfect
-Double stamp-card Fridays (10 stamps and you get a free one!!)
-Never too busy inside
-Lovely outdoor seating
-Location is great (The only lunch (or breakfast place for that matter) for businesses on that side of marsh road in MP

Cons:
-The croissant-wich I got once was mildly warm, cheese not melted and the bacon was soggy, haven't tried the B-fast since
-They won't accept a debit card on Fridays only (?!)
-They run out of lunch stuff before 2 PM so if you are a late-luncher like me, just remember you may have to settle for your 2nd or 3rd choice.

Pros:
Burgers are great, as you would expect.
Bottomless fries
Alcoholic drinks are good
Non-alcoholic special drinks are good
TVs for watching sports
Generally fast service
To-go service is very fast!

Cons:
Loud, loud, loud!
Kids everywhere
Kids everywhere
Did I mention there are kids everywhere?

P.S.
Try the A-1 Peppercorn b urger, they just brought it back! I was pissed and boycotted the place when they removed the burger from the menu.. Oh I also wrote a mean, hate filled letter to the company. Now it's back on the menu, and I am happy.

pros:

friendly staff
tons of alcohol
nice prices
sampling days/event calendar

cons:
can get crowded in the early evening
not enough space between aisles
closes too early, 8 or 9 pm.

I hate this place with a passion.

pros:
gas station that sells alcohol

cons:
inconvenient location
closes at 11 pm
parking lot is always crazy and the people can't even drive

pros:
Great beer
friendly staff
good food
lots of tv sets
nice clean bathrooms

cons:
poor/nonexistent service
pinner cocktails
pricy food
long waits
no patio
tons of people
too busy!!

Before BJ's showed up, this was the only decent place to get a drink in Foster City.  I still love Chevy's, the food is great, the drinks are pretty good but not that strong. As with most chain restaurants they pour their tequila into the margartia in teeny iny shot glasses to measure it out. I hate that practice! Just make it strong! BJ's does this too.

I love this Target, but of course like all department stores your experience depends on what time you are there and how much patience you have!
