If there was an option for zero star rating, this place earned it. This is my first ever yelp review and to land me here at 6:45 on a Saturday know it had to be bad experience. Management owners and staff were disrespectful, incompetent, brash, and unprofessional. I came in for gel polish and a flower design on my ring finger. Basic nail salon requests. I wanted to show the employee the design before she started, not caring what the design was, she shushed me and said to show her later. Nicole was in a rush. She started to paint my nails white but mixed it with another polish because one alone "wrinkles" - (hey coco, maybe you should just throw it out then? Common sense says if it causes problems get a new one or remove it from the selection) ... however, I kept my mouth shut. She would only paint 3/4 of my nail and not go all the way out to the sides. I had to remind Nicole she is missing spots- she huffed and mumble under her breath as if i was asking too much of her to do her job. Now came time for designs. She wanted to see the design and now says she doesn't know if she could do it.
1st off - most issues with the experience could have been avoided and would most likely not land your company on yelp with a negative review if your employees spent less time rushing and more time doing their job correctly, and take 2 seconds to address the customers design requests in the first place. I have also never been to a salon where a stylist can't do anything but paint a semi decent nail. Ladies and gentlemen it was just a flower. She drew a replica of what a 6 year old would finger paint. Top it off she and the owner started to exchange words to one another after I asked her politely to remove it. Apparently I offended her? I asked her to show me a picture of work she is comfortable and capable of doing. Her response was she does not have any designs to show. She then picked a rose flower from google images. She literally drew pink polkadots all over my nail. At this point, I've been sitting in the chair for over 2 hrs. I told her I decline having any design at this point and to keep my nails white. I pointed out my nails were sticky, had black dust file shaving all over them and to have them cleaned up properly. She had the audacity to tell me that I was taking up too much of her time. When in actuality she wasn't capable of doing her job which set her behind. - coco nails, that's a business issue if an employee cannot work effectively and efficiently, not the customers.
I went to the front, paid and spoke to the male and female owner. When I showed them the bubbles, black marks in my nails, uneven paint job and inconsistent rushed work - they blew me off saying it's an excellent job and it was my fault for asking for a design. Excuse me? Because of the lack of expertise your employee has on their specialty, it's my fault? The female owner took me into the back massage room with another employee to translate. When I tried to explain what happened the female owner started raising her voice at me cutting me off so I couldn't explain. She not only put her employee in an uncomfortable position but presented herself and her business unprofessionally. I was told the only way to get a refund was to have their poorly applied nail polish soaked off or have the nails redone. They are brash, obnoxious and disrespectful. I never met a business owner who does not care about customer experience or the work their employees are capable or in this case incapable of doing. Needless to say second painting later by the owner who screamed in my face did a piss poor job too: paint on my skin, she has to take out the motorized drill to her most noticeable mistakes and left cuticles attaches that have now passed by two employees. This place is a huge disappointment. They wanted to get paid and get you out. New to the area, I was hopeful to find a legitimate nail salon but turns out this place is completely incompetent. read more
