this is way too funny, but not for you at the time, I can see the picture and I'm laughing, at least the lightbulb went ton for hubby Debbie In a message dated 11/15/2009 1:09:40 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
well....we went to look at the chair yesterday...over an hour to get there...found the place...small barber shop in Manhattan.....took me into the back, next to the bathroom and there was the chair...just stuck there....(and they wonder why they didn't have "the call for it"?) anyway....It looked great...almost like new...I filled it up...and pressed the button and...NOTHING...it didn't work! They didn't speak english well and the guys there knew nothing about the chair..the lady who had used it a couple of times was cutting someone's hair...the guys kept pressing the button down and they were trying to keep it down...which as many of you know is NOT supposed to stay depressed....it is just a light touch and it goes on and a light touch and it goes off...well they kept pushing the button...I told them they were going to break the button but I don't think they understood..or cared ..what I was saying...Aldo asked if maybe there was another cord to be plugged in...well they tried to look in the back, but it was against the wall...and well... what a fiasco! They finally found the plug..but it still didn't work (jets) they kept playing with the massage control trying to start the jets! THEEENNNN to top it all off...there is a metal like "sign" in the front of the chair ..that is glued on by the manufacturer...with the model name on it...well when someone wiped it down with a paper towel, a piece of paper towel got stuck in the corner, which was slightly bent away from the chair...no problem...I flicked the little piece of paper towel off........and out came running about 5 little baby roaches!! Oh God I HATE bugs.....now these guys (3 of them) are trying to start the chair...looking for the plug, pressing the button, etc etc.. and all I can think is I DO NOT WANT THIS CHAIR IN MY HOUSE...what if I bring roaches into the house?? So Aldo and I tell them...give us a call when you get the chair started and we'll talk..ok bye...(not ever happening...BTW!) In the truck...Aldo looks at me and says," that is the problem with buying something used from a salon, you don't have a warranty and you don't know what you're getting"... Is it just me or isn't that WHAT I SAID??? LOL!!! Came home and HE went online to look for a chair. He said there were companies selling used chairs last time he looked (I couldn't find any) and then he came down and started talking about new chairs with me!! NOW...besides the Lexor....anyone NOT like their chair or the company that made them??????? (javascript:void(0)) Pati When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry...

How powerful is the Lexor compared to the jet tubs? They are very reasonable.

I wouldn't buy a used one! I got the pipeless from lexor! Excellent! Very reasonable and good quality! My pedis increased a lot when I got my chairs! Clients just expect it! The pipeless are so easy to clean! I hope this helps, I know its not the answer your husband wants but I would invest the money!

Wow it's slow on here lately..only getting like 2-3 posts a day...I miss y'all! LOL! ANYWAY... I have a question... I want to get a pedicure chair...I hate the one I have ..it's not a spa it's the hydraulic chair on a metal base ..with a footrest. You put a "tub" on the base to soak. Very uncomfortable for me to work on them also. I *thought* about going with dry pedis...and I wasn't happy with just that. For some clients that is good...I like working on calloused heels dry, with product, because I feel like I get better results. BUT...when working on some other clients...I felt they needed to soak so I could do their "toe work" better. (My mom for example...elderly, with knarly toes, thick etc...) SO....I want a spa chair to be able to soak them AND for my comfort...and theirs. SO...my question is....would you buy a used chair? My hubby wants me to buy a used one...I don't want to because my feelings are that I do not know how the previous owner cleaned it and what's growing in there. He says I can clean it and disinfect it and start "new". What are your feelings about this? I can show him your answers...or maybe you guys will change my mind... He doesn't want me to charge it and I do not have the cash for one right now. I think I will get more pedis also with a pedi spa set-up. help! Pati When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry...
