So my sister in law is visiting, and she's just finished her master's degree and is going through a breakup. I wanted this trip to be really special for her so we took her out for dinner last night and today I took her out and we got manicures and pedicures.
The salon has two-for-one Tuesdays. I booked a month in advance because I know the two-for-one books up quickly. When booking they asked if I wanted to add parafin wax treatment and I was like... Uhh I dunno, let me think about it and maybe we can decide on the day? (I wanted to look up the price). Well, I forgot to look up the price and they forgot to confirm whether or not I wanted to add that treatment.
On the day of the mani/pedi, they start doing the parafin wax and my brain goes "oh no, I guess they didn't leave a good note on my appointment and just assumed I wanted it... Ok I'll just go with it, it's 2-for-1...."
Then I get the bill. What I didn't realize is that while I intended to book the basic mani/pedi, they gave us the luxury one. Ok.... Well, it cost $180 fucking dollars. This was the price for one person because it was buy two for the price of one. Any other day, this would've cost $360 for two people! To have paint on their nails! What the fuck!!!
Sorry for swearing but I had a small heart attack when I saw the price. Fml. I didn't want to make a scene in front of my sister in law but I might talk to the manager tomorrow because this is upsetting. :(
I also hate confrontation and losing face so I might just chalk this up to a life lesson. Eeps.
Anyways suffice it to say, I have been cured of ever enjoying spa experiences and will be saving lots of money in the future!!!
