I'd like to give them 4 stars; but based on the many various high end and budget version nail salons in Zurich, here is why:
- NAILS NOTICEABLY CHIPPED OVERNIGHT (3 out of 10). they keep adding nail polish thinner when the nail color is running low. I can understand the need to do this, but I saw over usage of this. My nail polish didn't even last one day before parts of it started chipping (on 3 nails). Very poor outcome despite them marketing they use Opi and Essie (but it it keeps getting "watered down" - is it really top notch nail polish anymore?)
- VARIOUS PEOPLE WORKING ON YOU. My pedicure was great, it was done by a nice woman. And they have "US style" chairs for pedicures with a massage machine. Then they "passed me off" to a guy. I have had guys in the U.S. that gave me superior service but I felt they passed me off to this guy bc I wouldn't notice any better. Well they guessed wrong. He was ok but my nails look like they need a few more coatings and that's when I realized the nail polish was prob "thinned down". When they saw that I over analyzed my nails, a girl immediately stepped in to "finish off". That finish was what saved this place from getting TWO STARS from me.
- You dry normal polish nails under UV light. hmmmm. Really bad for your hands. I have never seen this inappropriate treatment before. Any pro knows you only dry gel nails under UV light. There are a few things like this place that are "so not US style".
- No access to bathroom... But the prices here are on the lower end so you get what you pay for.
Overall I like this place but would only come back for the pedicure and if they didn't give me this guy again and I bring my own nail polish as the quality of that is reliable. So it will remain as a back up place. read more
