What I Wanted (TOP PICTURE) VS What I Got (BOTTOM)

Tbh, the picture says it all. Can you believe I paid $80 for those ugly nails? I have never left a salon feeling so irritated and uncomfortable. Usually, getting my nails done is a soothing and pleasant experience but not today. I am not confrontational, but I do try to stand up for myself, especially when I'm paying $80 for a service. But I was given attitude by the so-called manager when I did so. The first issue is with the base color, I tried to tell the initial tech that she could just pick out a natural nude dip color because she probably knows their color selection a lot better than me, but I don't think she understood me. Usually, for designs that require a nude base (in my experience), the tech just picks out a color that will look natural based on someone's skin tone. I was having difficulty understanding her too, so after much confusion on both our parts, I picked a shade on a whim, hoping it would look good. The nail tech who applied the dip was obviously inexperienced because I have had dip nails done before and never had my nails look lumpy or uneven during the dipping process. Obviously, something was wrong because she kept trying to smooth the lumps with her finger or a file. So the shaping was completely off, very uneven, and very wide in places, which is not at all flattering. I also mentioned to the tech that I wanted almond nails like in the picture (more than once), but she didn't seem to understand me and continued to make them round. I am very particular about the shape of my nails, BUT I didn't want to seem too pushy, so I just went along with it. Now for the base shade, I was hoping that the color would work out after she finished curing my nails, but they did not turn out to be the natural nude shade I was expecting. The colors shown in a sample book may look different than how they could appear on a person's nails. And this is why I tried to ask the nail tech if she could pick a nude dip powder color that would work for my skin tone since I trusted her knowledge of the salon's available colors. I tried communicating this issue to the manager, and I asked if she could just put a nude gel polish over the dip or if there was another remedy. So this is when I started getting attitude, and she started acting abrasive towards me. At this point, I just wanted it to be over so I could leave since I was so uncomfortable. After finally paying, I wanted to immediately get into my car and drive to another salon to have these horrible nails removed, but tragically, I have to wait till tomorrow. All in all, I would not recommend this salon at all and will never be returning. Those nails were in no way worth $80.

I have been a client at MegaLash for several years and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my lashes!…read more From the first time I met Meaghan (the owner) I was impressed by her professionalism, her attention to the details and her friendly personality. She is very knowledgeable about the products she uses and is great about walking you through the different kinds of lashes you can get and what would look the best on you. She and her staff are true artists who take a lot of pride in their work. Meaghan is very involved with training her staff to meet her high expectations and it shows. I have recommended MegaLash to many of my friends and whenever someone compliments me on my lashes (and it happens a lot!) I tell them to go to MegaLash! Meaghan and all of her staff have always worn masks, even before COVID-19, and they wash their hands between each client. They have made adjustments to make you feel safe and still comfortable while you are there. There is no better quality for lash extensions than MegaLash!

All staff here are welcoming, skilled, and professional. I have had many services here and have…read morealways left feeling happy with my service. It's my only spot for lashes and brows! Chill, relaxing, and welcoming atmosphere and vibe with a great playlist going.
