If I could give zero stars I would! I decided to treat myself to a gel mani and pedi for my birthday at A&D Nails on April 26, 2024, and I honestly regret going there. I really wanted a pink French tip with short acrylics. I showed Vance my inspo picture, and he said he could do it (I will provide my inspo picture below). I explained that I wanted it exactly like the photo, but just pink instead of white. I got done with my nails and didn't really get a good look at them until I got to my car, and I couldn't believe how bad they looked. I haven't gotten my nails done in a minute, so l FaceTimed my friends who get their nails done regularly to get their opinions, and they all agreed they looked bad. I honestly started tearing up in the car. So l decided to walk back in and ask another tech if there was any way to fix my nails. I even showed other customers in there my nails and got their opinions, and they all agreed on how bad they looked. You could see all of my natural nails through the acrylics. I wanted square, but the shape is honestly giving duck-shaped nails. I also got cut multiple times on both hands and was bleeding (you can see in the pics I provided). One worker had to call Vance to return to the salon to fix my nails. I asked Vance if there was anyway to not have my natural nails show through. Vance explained to me that it was impossible for my natural nails to not show through, but that's simply not true. A darker, nude color would have covered my natural nails. I literally see pictures of people in their reviews with the same thing l wanted. They ended up apologizing and giving me $12 back out of the $122 for not being able to do French. I honestly think I should have gotten more back or had another tech that could actually do what was any way to fix my nails.

It seems like they give walk-ins to less experienced techs. I personally think they need start watching over the new techs more. I would honestly recommend not going here and going to another nail salon. It's very unfortunate, but now I will have to spend more money and go to another salon to get the nails I actually wanted for my birthday. I also had to go to urgent care due to an infection on my toe nails (which I also got done with them) read more
