I needed to have pedicure and manicure SO BAD.. so I called Nailtini for the 100,000,000,000,000 time (not really, but you get the idea) and they are fully booked on the times I like... their free openings are pretty late for me to go get treatment and relax, and I am starting to hate the fact that they welcome smokers! Whatta an atmosphere to relax. My second option is of course Queenails, but they are also fully booked (specially with Eid around the corner). So Foolishly I went ahead and booked an appointment in X nail salon that I heard was good, but never tried before or knew someone who actually tried it!
My manicure was not bad, but while I was getting my pedicure done, I felt pain while she was removing my cuticles! It felt like she was clipping the toe itself rather than the nail/cuticle!
I was wearing flip-flops... with no direct pressure on that toe, I went home and woke up the next day in pain! I changed for work and wore my closed toe shoes and it started to hurt... with time, I had to stay bare foot when sitting on my desk.. The pain kept getting worse and worse! I decided to do something about it.
I went fully dressed to the New Mowasat Hospital for my friend's baby reception, thinking I will pass by the ER on my way out to get some meds. The receptionist is TOO RUDE by the way! I dont know why he acted so unprofessional! Was it because I did not look sick and was too dressed to be in the ER or he was PMSing (I feel that SOME men DO have PMSing symptoms)... Well anyway, I was transfered to a general surgeon! Yes! It was not a nice harmless cut in my toe after all.
Anyway... the doctor was super nice and very friendly. He took swaps for tests in the labs and gave me some antibiotic and ointment. He also cut the swelling and cleaned it for me. I did not feel much pain and he was cheerful and talking to me randomly about stuff the whole time. He even asked me to take some pictures LOL!
Now... the question is... Should I just say it out loud! The Nail Salon name? Or should I keep my mouth shut? Should I call them up and complain!!!

you should definitely tell us the name..it is like a bad review of any place..if they know people know about it they will consider improving seriously.
Ouchy!
I don't see why not mention it.
Ma tshoo shr insh'Allah :)
Good colour for the nail polish, by the way ;)
even if i wanna do a pedicure at a saloon i always take my personal pedicure set n tools with me.... i never use their stuff, u neva know where they been and whom they used it on!
salamat, plz get well soon
oh, another thing, after a pedicure, u shouldn't walk with flip flops on anythin open toes outside on a sandy floor or jus outside... stuff gets in there quick.

I am very serious :-( I think I am gonna wear flip flops to work LOL... can I?
The doc was awesome, he was joking and giving funny remarks the whole time...

Is it ethical to go ahead and say it before giving them time to get back to me?

Big Pearls-
I hope so... I gave them a link to my post so lets see!
You did not complain when you left the place, so they can always argue it was not them.
I think you should find a dead body, cut its toe, send it to them in a box, that gives them the message.

hehehe thanks :-)

Thanks :-)
In Nailtini, you buy your personalized kit/pouch and they sterilize it for you! How do you sterilize your kit at home? That would be helpful!
my car was parked pretty close to their place so I did walk few meters wearing my flip flops! I always do, 3adi.. 3ashan I dont ruin my pedicure you know!

Thats good... WTG
That happened to me once too, ya3ni for a week my middle finger was swollen on the side after removing my cuticles from my manicure and when I went to the hospital he said it got infected, blah blah blah they cut it open and cleaned the thing.
I never set a foot in that nail bar again. I won't say what's it called but it's very well known.
u should definitely say what salon so we can all avoid going there!
