Staph Infection. I believe it was from the tub my feet were soaking in, then the liquid band-aid the tech. put on sealed the bacteria in.

I live in Milwaukee and I came to Wausau to visit family on 8/14/15 for the weekend. It was my birthday weekend and my sister-in-law paid for all four of us girls to get our toes done. The salon was really nice, clean, and the staff was really friendly. That morning I used a brand new razor and nicked myself shaving right below my knee. At the salon it started to bleed a little so the technician put something on it that was in a clear, reusable, plastic bottle. It stung really bad so I assumed it was disinfectant. She didn't ask, just put it on. After I left, my cut blew up twice its size, I thought I was allergic to whatever it was. Later I realized it was liquid band-aid. The next day it was red, sore, and blistered. I left it alone and then it didn't get any better so I went into the walk-in clinic here in Milwaukee and my doctor confirmed it was a staph infection! I told my sister-in-law about it and she said the technician nicked her toe and now it too is infected. I'm on antibiotic and a topical but I'm so mad that she paid so much for all four of us girls to get our nails done and we get an infection. I called the salon and the guy on the phone played dumb and kept asking to repeat myself, I got angry and just told him they need to clean their tubs and utensils better. From the looks of the place I thought it was super nice, just really disappointed in my experience...

this is the picture we took in the outside lighting.

Decided to do a last minute pedicure, came here because the parking lot was not very busy as it…read moreusually is (earlier morning hour). Walk in appt. Pro: Pedicure was $25 Friendly receptionist Very clean Con: As I walked in and was ready to be seated, I was not informed, or did not see a sign posted that the credit card machine was down. I had noticed a customer tried to pay with cash, and receptionist informed her that the machine was down. I immediately went up to the receptionist, and confirmed because I had no cash on me. So I went to a nearby bank across the street, and withdrew $, and returned before I started my pedi. My nail technician did not say much at all. But was very pleased with the service overall.

*UPDATE TWO DAYS LATER**…read more The owner reached out and offered a refund. They did not like my review and asked me to remove it because it would make them look bad. I am not deleting my review, but I will update my review and I ended up getting a refund. Maybe it was the nail tech or maybe the reviews are fake. The tech was very nice and did confirm the color and nail shape. When she was using certain drills, she was hurting and cutting my skin hence the bleeding on my nail bed. Mind you, I do not think they are cleaning their drills properly because you can see how I bled. I did not get cuticle oil or lotion on my hands. I've gotten $30 manicures at other salons and they at least put cuticle oil on my nails. I shouldn't have to request that, it should be given. My nails are pretty and I do like them. But I wouldn't recommend coming here for gel x nails. This was my first time getting gel x nails and it made me not want to experience this again.

Update: updated rating - later yesterday afternoon while putting away laundry the polish on one…read morefinger came clean off. I called the salon and they had me come back. Someone new took one look at my manicure, and ended up redoing the whole thing. Looks much better! They were kind and apologetic and fixed the situation. Went to the newer location by Applebees a few hours ago - I had a fantastic experience last time but not so much this time. Messy edges, color didn't start near cuticle, and there are bumps and bubbles in the actual polish. Finger bled during service and the woman who did my nails had long, jagged nails herself and dug them into the side of my fingers while doing my nails. It was overall a painful experience. Ends of my nails are rough and have been catching on fabric. Also paid $15 more than I expected (prices rose which I get, but this is NOT a $40 manicure). Decent enough place, bad technician.

Took my mother here for a pedicure. The nail technician used the cuticle cutter and dug into the…read moreside of my mom's big toe twice, drawing blood. Bled extensively. At that point, we discontinued the pedicure and left. Nail technician never apologized and seemed confused. Her toe is very painful and we hope that there is no infection since he dug in so deep. Would not recommend this place at all. Very unhappy with their service and indifferent attitude.
