This was my first time visiting this salon and the last. I get my finger nails manicured and polished with the gel treatment at least once every 1-1 1/2 weeks because my nails grow really fast plus I take pride in doing my own house work which unfortunately takes its toll on my hands. Regular nail polish plus daily house chores equals chips and wear on the polish in about two-three days, but when my nails are painted with gel polish they last two weeks. So to say I have experience with nail salons is an understatement. Now I am writing this review because I feel as a woman who respects other women that I am obligated to deliver the truth so to avoid hard earned money wasted. If I could have given this place zero stars I would all in thanks to the male nail tech that works at Luxury Nail & Spa. This was by far THE WORST gel mani ever. To start my terrible experience, the man who performed my mani left traces of my previous polish on after scraping my nails of its gel color and then proceeded to file my nails in both directions. If you know anything about proper nail tech execution you know that the only way to correctly file the nails is in completed in one direction; this filing technique is done to prevent the nail from breaking and to prevent the uncomfortable feeling that comes with improper back and forth motion filing. In my experience at the best nail salons if the tech files the nails back and forth instead of in one direction consistently they are fired on the spot! Great salons take their filing serious. Anyways during the filing process I had to ask him to stop because it felt so terrible and then when I looked at my nail shape it was slanted, jagged and ugly. So after a few failed attempts at instructing him on how to properly file I gave up and ended up filing my own nails to save them from the trauma.I should have seen that as a sign but I stuck through it thinking there was no way it could get worse... WRONG.. He took no care at all when it came to painting my nails, I wish Yelp had the option of posting a picture so you all could see just how bad my nails look. The space between my cuticle and gel polish is at least half a centimeter off and looks like I've gone three weeks without a polish change. The sides of my nails are bare. Imagine someone painting with the three step method and forgetting the third step completely... Ya I know, horrible right! If you were here to look at my nails you would probably say, "babe, no offense but your nails are jacked up!" To top it off every time I tried to say something about the problems I encountered because of him he acted pompous as if I was in the wrong but let's be real if he would have done the job correctly I would not have had to say anything period. I hope this post reaches you in time or is able to save someone the grief of going through what I have. read more
