DO NOT GO HERE!!!
They are inconsistent in their quality of work and do not respect their clients.
The first time I went there, I was a walk-in. They are near my dentist and I needed a dip. So I dropped in to see if they could take me. Lana did my nails. She did a beautiful job. I received compliments on my nails and I recommended B&L to others.
The second time I went there, Lana did my nails again, same color. Her work wasn't so good. There was unevenness (waves), pits (like air bubbles had burst) and the shape was wrong. But I went along because no one should be getting so close to my nails that they can see the pits and waves. I reshaped the tips myself.
The third time I wanted my nails blue. I chose a dark almost navy blue. I had a different technician this time. The color she chose to use was more of a periwinkle. I pointed out that it wasn't the color I chose. She said it was because it had the same number, and that it would get darker (that's a theme with them). But it did not get darker because it was not the color I'd chosen. They had misnumbered either the display book or the dip powder jar. At the end of her work, all her coworkers repeatedly said "pretty color" like a supporting chorus. I accepted it. It wasn't what I'd chosen but it was blue and I don't mind periwinkle.
The fourth time I went I wanted a dip and a pedicure, and wanted the same color on my fingernails and toenails. I chose sort of a mauvish-wine color. This was a different technician than from before. She used the color I'd chosen on my fingernails, but on my toes she used a chocolatey color. Not the same colors. I couldn't tell right away that the colors were different because of the lighting, and I couldn't put my fingers next to my toes (I'm old, okay?). I think they were counting on that. She put the dip so thinly on my nails that it was wearing off the tips the next day. I just kept filing them back until I got a chip and in to get a fresh dip.
The "fresh dip" was yesterday, March 15th, and is the final visit to their salon.
Lana was available to do the dip. I chose a shade of red that I liked. When she opened the jar, I commented that it looked pink. She replied it would get darker. After the first application I commented that it was not the color I'd chosen. She said it was because the numbers were the same. (Their theme!) I replied that either the jar or the display is numbered wrong. She said she had two more coats to do and it would get darker. Second coat, I pointed out again that it was pink. She said she had another coat to do and when she is done she would make it red for me. She tried to make it sound like it was my fault that the colors didn't match because I chose that number and the numbers were the same. The top of the jar had the number written on it, and I suggested that someone misnumbered the jar. She showed me the bottom of the jar had the same number. (I suspect they're buying dip powder in bulk and reusing the jars.) She says the owners order from the manufacturer and the manufacturer said it's not 100%. I guess she's saying that they're buying cheap unregulated and unreliable product and aren't sure about its quality. She said it's not her fault. And I agree. If she did not mislabel it, then it is not her fault. But it is her responsibility to use the color her customer chose. She said that she didn't change it when I pointed out it was wrong because some customers just say it's okay. I told her I don't like pink. Beside, I wanted red. Meanwhile, she is filing my nail with all her might, cutting into my cuticle. Even after I indicated it hurt she didn't stop. Instead she dug her nail into the cut. I think she did it on purpose to punish me for complaining. After the third coat of dip powder, she painted my nails red with a gel polish. Not the same shade I'd chosen, but it wasn't pink. I paid for the work and even tipped her, but I will not be back.
I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and Arizona licensing board read more
