The salon is a brand new addition to the neighborhood . It is aesthetically pleasing and is equipped with a large amount of nail desks and pedicure chairs. Everyone was very sweet. I was greeted promptly upon entering and once I was seated the staff all ensured that I had a refreshment.
For my services I got a pedicure and a full set. The pedicure was was pretty standard and they have about 6 or 7 variations to choose from. The young lady that I had spent a lot of time on the scrubbing and massage. I could tell that she was either new to the pedicure offering or just had forgotten what all came with as she seemed to ask the young lady doing my nails occasional questions after completing steps. Overall I was content with this service.
My nail lady was very sweet, but forgot a couple of key components when completing my set. The first was the length. I typically wear my nails pretty long and the image that I showed for my design had a decent length. Somehow I ended up with short nails (short for my liking) after one was cut without inquiring what length I desired. They also didn't appear to have the flat clear nail tips, only the white curved tips. The next component was that my design inspiration featured a specific color scheme of which I was told was a powder color and not a polish after the fact (she had already laid clear acrylic). She was able to pick out a decent pink polish and that made things ok. The last thing was the shaping. I requested a narrow square of which we did several different filings to get it narrow, but they still seem kind of wide to me and don't have sharp corners like I'd like. I couldn't bear to have the poor lady do anymore filing after so many filing sessions, so I just let them be.. The design I selected was completed successfully and looked just like the image.
Overall, I'd definitely go back for another pedicure. I'm still on the fence about the full set as shaping and nail art are very important to me.
Oh and sidebar- my gel was removed with the drill and not by soaking. I know that's important to some people. read more
