Bliss Nails Mystic in Mystic, CT

While the young woman who did my pedicure was kind, I think she must be very new to her profession. $35 is a lot to pay for something I could have done better myself. The shop was ... not clean .... or professional, and I had to change my clothes when I returned home because of the weird smell. The shop had nothing modern ... like brighter lighting or air dryers for nails. And it could stand a good cleaning, or at least the water changed in the flowers and the tables wiped down to give a cleaner appearance.

The worst powder nails so far, started cracking and splitting on day two, after the excessive drill use I should have known!!!!

If I could give zero stars I would. Three of us were on a girls weekend and I was in charge of finding a nail salon for a pedicure. When I called to book, I specifically asked how long the pedicure would be and was told 30 minutes. The pedicure was under 15 minutes. It was a polish change. One manicurist didn't acknowledge my friend at all and left the shop within 11 minutes. The owner Christine was my technician - never welcomed me or spoke with me. She was working on a woman who seemed to be a regular customer, came over to me to do my pedicure, and went back to finish her regular customer. Only the third manicurist was nice and pleasant - her name was Rachel. I feel bad for her that she has to work in such a dreadful shop. I am writing this so no one else will have such a miserable experience. We're guessing the good reviews were likely written by the owners' friends. I'd say the worst pedicure we have ever had. I repeatedly apologized to my friends. Horrible.

Two days ago, I made an appointment for a pedicure. When I walked in it was obvious that the woman asked to do my pedicure did not want to do it. she sniffled the entire time, did not greet me, ask me to choose my nail color or offer me their menu. She barely cut my nails, brushed the bottom of my feet maybe 5 times, gave a quick massage and painted (poorly) my nails. She was done in 22 minutes!
The owner (I believe) asked me how was my pedicure. I told her it was the worst pedicure that I ever had. She did give me a small discount. But I will never return.

My friend and I treated ourselves to pedicures at Bliss. She reserved a time and we arrived a few minutes early to pick out colors. We were greeted as we entered, and after we selected our colors we were seated and our pedicures began. My technician did a wonderful job, taking her time and being very attentive. We were not rushed and were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.
