Please book an appointment.

We had a lady come in today who was so angry that she drove all the way from the Valley to see us and we couldn't get her in.  I'd like to say how sorry I am because I know how awful it is to drive the 405 FWY and for nothing makes it worse.  I'm also very happy to say that you now need an appointment for any services at MPC.  So please...Don't get mad, get an appointment!

NBA: Nail Biters Anonymous

 

Congratulations to Meredith who stopped biting her nails!  The MPC staff applauds you.   It only took weekly manicures, and Ashley to stop drinking soda!  Keep it up so she stays off the high-fructose corn syrup.

Happy Birthday Katie!

Happy Birthday to Katie!  Our gorgeous 13 year old princess celebrated her birthday MPC style on Sunday.  Twelve tweens watching Step it Up 2 celebrated their last days of summer with candy, soda and music.  Their finger and toes were OMG, cute!

Thanks for such a wonderful party ladies!  Can't wait to see you all again on Teen Tuesdays!

Funny Stuff

Having a little funny with urban dictionary, 3 grade English writing practices and words that have to do with "toe" read this paragraph and check out the funny definitions from Urbandictionary.com!

 

Using my tonar I ask this chick where she got her nails done.  She said @ MPC on Pier Ave.  OMG!  I went on Saturday and they made suggestions for my polish color based on my toetoo…they even removed all my toe-jam!  Their pedicures make my toenails so supple; they even waxed my toehair!  These little piggies can't wait to go back to MPC!

 

Little Piggys/Toes -

Ugly things attached to your feet that you always end up stubbing forcing you to swear like a drunken sailor.

Example: OMG!  I #2@23@%^#^# my *^%*&** toe!

Toenails-

Hardened discs on the tips of the toes that protect the toe. Females like to paint their toenails all different colors. Toe-covers

Example:20Samantha painted her toenails with OPI's "Not really a waitress."

 

Toe-jam –

Toe-cheese

Example: Tiffany: "What is that cottage cheese like substance between your toes?"

Samantha: "Oh, that's my toe-jam! Want some?"

 

Toe-hair-

Long luscious hair protruding from the big toe of=2 0one's foot.

Example: Kara your toe hair is so soft and luscious like a Donald Trump hair piece.

 

Toetoo
noun: a tattoo on your toe. Therefore, a toe too.

Example: ehmagawd! Look at her radical toetoo!

 

Toenar-

The ability to scout malls for females wearing open toed shoes with pretty feet

Example: Dude, did you see her feet? Beautiful! Thank god the toenar is working

UGH!

So, as I was sitting outside having lunch in Manhattan Beach next to the local $20 mani/pedi all you can cut plus free fungus nail salon, I noticed a lady entering the salon with a clear zip lock bag full of her own implements.  First of all...Why would you go to a salon where you had to bring your own supplies?  Second, that little bag you're carrying is probably full of bacteria.  If you don't sanitize and/or completely dry off your tools after every use, while resting in that sealed bag, bacteria is growing by the millions.  At MPC we won't do a service on you unless we use our own implements and here's why:
 
1.  After every use we (MPC) scrub each implement with soap and water.
2.  We then soak them in barbicide for 10 minutes and rinse them off with warm water.
3.  We then get a Q-tip soaked in acetone and get into every nook and cranny to make                sure there's no rust, etc.
5.  Finally we autoclave the implements, dry them completely and then seal them in a sterilized pouch.

For Our Foot Basin:
1.  After every use, we scrub them with soap and water.
2.  Then we soak each tub in barbicide for 10 minutes.
3.  At night (here's the non "eco-friendly" thing we do) we soak each tub in bleach:(
4.  We built our drains 4 feet underground so even if there was something we missed...it's not coming back to you through the "massage" jets like other salons.

Oh, and we wash our hand before each client and between your pedi and a mani or mani and a pedi.

So Please, if you're trying to save money and think you're being safe by bringing your own supplies, think again...Fungus and infections while pampering yourself or for any other reason, JUST ISN'T WORTH IT!

MPC will soon be posting pictures of our wonderful nail techs and dare to challenge any salon that we have the best manicurist in town.  But for now... Here's just some of my favorite qualities about our girls:

Mackenzie's neck, shoulder and foot massage and her color choices for you (she's always right on)
Terry's awesome foot scrub and relaxing foot massage.  Oh, and nail art too.
Maggie's perfect paint job, sweetness and attention to detail
Ashley's gift of gab, foot massage and loves to paint dark colors
Kathy's French polish
Pam's sweetness and hand massage
Ally's foot reflexology massage and loves to stick her (not yours) foot in her mouth.
Jenny's nail art, foot massage and patience with the little ones.
Brenda's sweetness and love for kids.
Kristina's attention to detail, sweetness and nail art.

and that, and that, and that's all folks.

Standing Appointments Ladies

It's time to make appointments ladies (and gents).  MPC loves the idea of never turning anyone away, but unfortunately our clients have learned to call ahead and book up our days.  In a recent yelp blog a client was rightfully upset that she drove such a long distance to get "turned away."   We are very very sorry about that and hope you come back and visit us soon, but we've reached the point where you might need to call first!
 
Sure we can rush your appointment, shorten your massage and not clean the tub properly (we'd be happy to recommend places that will do that for you), but we refuse. Often our Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays have been booked solid turning 20-30 clients away a day!  Call ahead and then book your standing appointment...it's the new "in" thing. 
 
BTW: Don't look at your manicurist toes because we can't even get in at MPC!
