I decided to try the new salon near my home. I had my nails done less than a week ago. They looked okay, though one was slanted from the way it was filed. That same nail broke off days later. Yesterday I went in to have it repaired. They had me wait for the one person who can do gel nails, though they had several people there. I was fine with that and visited with someone I knew who was waiting for her daughter. When I sat down, he wanted to do a fill in. I explained I didn't need one, since he had just done my nails a few days prior. I showed him the broken nail. While using his electric file, he burned my nail. After he put on the nail, I asked to see it before he began to be sure it was on straight, but I was nice about it. He then starts the procedure. When he gets to filing again (gel nails) he is going so fast with the emory board that he keeps hitting my skin on the side of the nail. I pulled back each time, as it really hurt. I asked him to please slow down. No one was waiting for services and he acted like he was in such a hurry. This was at 6 PM and they close at 7 pm. He did it again, this time taking skin with it, and I accidentally swore, I couldn't help it, it really hurt! He then kept filing on the sides making it really narrow. I asked him to stop filing the edges and that the nail was too long. It didn't match the length of my other nails at all. More than 1/4 " longer! He kept filing the sides! I pulled my hand back and showed him the two fingers from each hand to show him the difference in the length. He was so angry that he shot his chair back and said the following "You are mean, you don't look me in eye, you mean, I won't finish your nail" I was quite taken aback. I said "so you won't finish my nail?" He said "no". I asked for someone else to finish it if he wouldn't. He said "I only one who do gel nails, you out of luck!" I was never mean, I was never rude. I was trying to explain to him gently that the nail was too long as he thought he was done and was going to start the painting of the nail but he was first angry I was in there for a repair, and then because I wouldn't pay for a Fill In, which I didn't need and then because he kept hurting me and I asked him to slow down. I left with my nail not finished. After posting on my Facebook page my experience with this new salon near our neighborhood, others have come forward saying they had similar experiences and would never return either. When he originally did my nails, I asked how business was doing and he said they didn't have many customers. He said "maybe 20 a day" I think I understand all too well why. I will never return and will not recommend this salon. read more
