Normally, I get a fill and pedicure from…read morethe same person, but this time I decided to remove the acrylic and get a manicure with gel polish. Apparently that meant my usual tech couldn't take me. So, I ended up with the person next to him. It started off fine. But things went downhill...fast. By the time I left, I was honestly speechless. I just kept mumbling to myself about how embarrassingly awful my nails looked. The left and right hands look nothing alike, they are crooked and different lengths. I tried to gently guide her on how to fix the shaping while she was doing it, but no success. And then came the paint job. Lawd. Lump after lump after lump. Nothing neat about it, and they looked old and uneven before I left! I think I was shocked so I didn't say anything but I really should have because now I need to go elsewhere and get this remedied. All this to say, if you do try this spot out (and are not getting a regular gel manicure) ask for Andy. He's always done a solid job for me. And if he's not available, I'd highly recommend you go somewhere else.

Update: Tiffany, one of the managers, was super kind and gave me a call after my initial manicure…read more She offered a partial refund, which I was happy to accept as opposed to a full refund, as the work was still done and the resulting nails were fine. She also worked with another manager at the store and was able to set up my next appointment with a specific tech - I believe it was Emily. Tiffany was very communicative via both text and DM on there Instagram account, which I used to schedule my next appointment. She was also there when I arrived for that appointment to ensure things went smoothly. Emily was very attentive during my service, and ultimately I was happy with this set. I did SNS and Emily finished with a gel top coat. Since I prefer to not have gel that is cured by UV, I may not return regularly. However, this salon has a huge selection of not only regular colors, but specialty colors as well, such as cat eye and jelly polishes. Jelly polishes are definitely on my list to try in the future, so I'll likely be back for that. I very much appreciate the team's outreach and support after my last review, and it's clear that they care greatly for the service they can provide their customers.

Okay, first things first... the parking situation is dire. I wish one of the reviews mentioned…read moreparking, because the situation is in need of help. No parking in front of the nail shop and no validated parking. If you live in the building above it's great! If you're a college student and can walk it's also great! If you're not in one of those two categories... buena suerte. The nail shop itself is very clean and has the cool neon signs that are all the rage. The music consists of the top hits. During my visit I heard several Beyoncé songs. They also give you wine/sparkling wine to drink. So the vibes are all there. I got a pedicure and it was okay. I wasn't overly impressed. All things considered, it's cool but I don't see myself spinning the block (coming back).

Services were good the first couple time and then a steady significant decline. The ladies are nice…read morehowever they have no problem packing human bodies in their tiny space like sardines. The male nail tech seems disgruntled and is low vibrational. The last 3 times he did my nails they either chipped, smudged or 1 nail completed fell off. It's a shame because he has potential to be an excellent nail tech if he can put his ego to the side and learn how to serve his clients. After giving me a new nail set at my last fill in appointment he told me my next appointment will be a new set: I told him no way. They seem to view their clients as walking ATMs--it's an uncomfortable feeling: They constantly badger you to do new sets, gel mani-pedis or expensive "spa" pedicures even after you've told them specifically the kind of services you want/prefer--it's more "them" focused than client focused. Btw,I was never thanked for my $20-$25 tips --ever. This last appointment took the cake--nail tech dude nicked my skin with his super sharp nail tool and blamed MY skin for "growing too close to the nail". This happened after leaving me under the fan for 15 minutes while he enjoyed a phone conversation right in front of me--so I knew it was because he wasn't paying attention--he seems resentful of his customers and unhappy to do this kind of work. When I arrived for my appointment (no such thing really because they treat everyone as a walk-in) he and a young girl didn't move to seat me, I had to ask them if they were working today in order to mobilize them--mind you I was the only customer. That said, I won't be back. I'm big on customer service and positive energy and I pay well for it, but it's not to be found there.

I didn't see the ubiquitous large vessel od cucumber lemon water, little water bottle nothing. No tea. This is the first spa I've been to that didn't have water and tea sitting out. I wasn't even offered water as I was escorted back to the locker room. I would think hydration would be important to a spa. My masseuse, Tyesha was good. She did offer and bring me a water. That was nice, but I always like to sip tea or have water prior to and after my massage. I am sure they had it a few years ago. Not sure why not today. The Pearl in Columbia, MD and Relache at the Gaylord are definitely my faves. Not sure I will return to this one. Such a shame as it is so close.

I hate writing this because I've been coming here for years -- they know me by name -- but this…read moreexperience was bad enough that I won't be back. I came in for my recurring appointment and immediately felt rushed, like the goal was to get me out of the chair as fast as possible. When the service was "done," there was still gel clearly left on my nails (cloudy patches, uneven texture), and my natural nails were over-filed and thinned instead of properly soaked and removed. When I calmly pointed this out, the nail tech became defensive and rude, which honestly caught me off guard. I asked for the manager, and he didn't offer to fix anything -- no redo, no correction, no accountability. I still paid and left, but I had to go to another salon the same day to fix my nails. Paying twice to undo someone else's rushed work is not okay. If you care about nail health, not being rushed or talked down to, and actually getting the service you pay for, I'd proceed with caution. Being a regular didn't matter here, and that's the most disappointing part.

The 2nd time I went, while waiting for my nails to dry, he rushed over, sprayed my nails and asked if I had tipped the technician. I had tipped the tech but considered this a rude question.
