When she let me know that she was going to be moving on with her career, I was more than happy to follow her! I am so glad that I did. I feel like having a good relationship with your esthetician is very important, and Alie and I have a super great relationship. I look forward to our appointments (although I know she didn't initially because I have really sensitive skin and a regrettably lower tolerance for pain or discomfort than I would like). Alie is an excellent provider with a very warm personality and a knack for making you feel comfortable. She is also up on current practices in skin care and hair removal, as she regularly participates in continuing education whether it be obtained online or in person at trainings! Her space is flawlessly beautiful, inviting, calm, and CLEAN (which you cannot discount in an esthetician practice - super important!). I have been seeing Alie regularly (every 6 weeks, approximately) since July 2017 and have no plans to stop going to her spa in the foreseeable future!

I then received a message from the spa stating: "Unfortunately, the professional assigned to your services will be unavailable that day, so we will need to reschedule the appointments. We would be happy to move your services to either the week before or the week after..." I understand that scheduling issues happen. However, I explained that I could only reschedule for Monday or Thursday of that same week and requested the same Local Special rate, or potentially a weekend at the same rate due to my work schedule. Since this was booked in advance and the change was on their end, I asked if they would honor the Local Special pricing on another day that aligns with my schedule. I was told no. There was no effort to accommodate, no compromise offered, and no flexibility despite the inconvenience being caused by their scheduling conflict. For a spa associated with guests and visitors of the Francis Marion Hotel, I expected a much higher level of customer service and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience felt dismissive and inflexible. They simply said no and cancelled my appointments. Locals and tourists, I encourage you to support a business that treats people with common decency. Very disappointing customer service!

I was excited to have found a new salon. Unfortunately, my second visit was a completely different experience. I had a fill-in with nail art, a pedicure with paraffin wax, and an eyebrow wax. My total was $212 before tip. About three days later, I noticed the cuticle area of one fingernail turning dark. By day five, the artificial nail came off, and by day seven I had to see my primary care physician. He diagnosed me with Green Nail Syndrome, a bacterial nail infection. I've now been treated with prescription antibiotic drops for nearly two weeks, have lost the nail, and have had to make multiple doctor visits. I still can't have my nails done while it heals. What disappointed me most wasn't just the nail problem--it was how the salon handled it. When I returned to explain what my doctor had diagnosed, I felt dismissed. Rather than trying to understand my concerns, I was told my nail looked dirty. I washed my hands right there in the salon and was even handed a scrub brush. It was embarrassing and made me feel like my concerns weren't being taken seriously. The salon did not offer a refund for the fill-in service. Instead, they offered me a $70 credit toward another visit, but after this experience I have no intention of returning. I understand that complications can happen in any salon. What matters to me is how a business responds when a customer has a legitimate concern. Unfortunately, I left feeling unheard, embarrassed, and out over $200, plus the cost of doctor's visits and prescriptions. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend EM Nail Lounge. I will be returning to Reflections on Maybank Highway for my future nail services.

The location is quaint and super clean, and they offered you a drink if you want one. I got a basic french tip gel set on my toes and they came out fine, the white tip aren't as curved as I would like but I'm not super picky with my toes. It's my fingernails I am super picky about. Unfortunately I am super picky with the shaping and sizing of my fingernails. One thumbnail is much smaller than the other which does bother me. Getting an acrylic set is always a hit or miss no matter where you go due to how thick they can come out, and I do think mine came out a little thicker than I hoped this time. I really like the color I chose and that I got the cats-eye design, but what drops my rating is the price of $150 without tip (for a classic pedi with new gel, acrylic set with gel, and catseye design) and the lesser attention to the small details. I wish all my nails' shape were sharper and less rounded at the tip, and that my thumbnails weren't two different sizes. It's hard to notice those imperfections in the salon so it's unfortunate that I only notice once I leave and came really look at them. Honestly it's the price that gets me. Charleston nail salons overcharge just because of the city. So ask for a price estimate beforehand so you don't look surprised at checkout!

Once my old polish was taken off, my nail artist, Mike, asked me if i had wanted the $8 french tips or the $15 ones. He had shown me two pictures off of google the difference in design, i went with the $8 one because who pays $15 dollars for french tips?? Well i guess they thought some people did, after about an hour to an hour and a half i ended up with this (the picture shown) and was shocked. I asked Mike what he meant by the difference in the french tips, considering that on their website the french tips were ONLY $8. When i confronted him about this issue he assured me i had no idea what he was talking about. He also tried earlier throughout the experience to get me to cut off my real natural nail and add on a tip, because it would look prettier, which i denied multiple times. I talked with who seemed to be the manager and he confirmed that there was a difference in french tips and that they need to update their website. He offered to fix my nails and was very understanding, i ended up taking the french tips off and when i asked for a refund on just the french he denied. My honest opinion, don't go here. I have been going to a small business girl who does nails all by herself and has done 100x better than any salon i've been too. I've had to resort to Gloss due to the fact she was out of town and i was leaving soon as well. I wish i could say something good about this place but i can't. I should have to be at a nail salon for 2 hours just to get french on my natural nails. I am also pretty understanding when it comes to nails and their artist, but this was just terrible. I uploaded my before and after pics below, the fancy design were the nails i walked in with, the french was their "final product" , and the nude pink was how my nails looked after leaving. For $88 dollars (after a $6 tip) and no refund on the french?!?! yeah i'm pissed off and scammed.
