As a Bride to be I went to get a manicure and pedicure for my wedding. My pedicure was done is such a manner that you can see unpainted nail all the way around the nail border; which is a common issue I experience at nail salons. This is not overly concerning to me, because my toes are less visible. When I do my own nails I cover the whole nail, not sure why they never do. My main concern is the awful experience I went through for my manicure. The guy used a mechanical sander to get ride of the cuticles; instead of the soak and cut treatment. While doing this he was frequently hitting my skin and making the skin around most of my nails burn and become very sensitive. Then he hand sanded and polished and continued to do the same thing. My fingers had a sharp burning sensation when I was instructed to place them in water prior to sanded the tips to smooth even edges. Since it is my wedding day I looked up a picture of a design to show them for my french manicure. My nails are not very long, but the picture was of a girl that had fake nails on to add length. I told them that I wanted thin french tips with this design on the ring finger; which they needed to located another worker to perform a simple flower design since not every worker was able to do designs (apparently). Of course there is the awkward language barrier and I don't get my nails done often; I can actually count the number of times on one hand, so I am unsure of the processes when doing nails. The guy would tap or shove my hand away and seem frustrated that I didn't know what I was doing. When he said "ok" and shoved my hand away and down to the UV light to cure my nails; this was the only times he would said "ok". I was instructed to repeatedly put my nails back in as he worked on my other hand; sometimes 4x for one hand and 1x for the other, which my home one recommended no less than 3x. I left the Luxury Nails very concerned about how they turned out; and still tiped to be polite. The french manicure had the white portion halfway down my nail, which is not tips and looked terrible. As a bride that will be getting pictures of close up on my hands for capturing out rings and more, this was very concerning for me. We immediately turned around and went back in to show them and see what they could do to possibly fix my nails. They said "all people get their nails like that and it was exactly the same length as in the picture". So what they were telling me is they took the same length of white on the 1/3" or more fake nail picture that and put that same length of white on my short nails. I was never asked if my nails looked good while he was working on them. Luckily the guest sitting beside me, and was a frequent customer, stood up for me. She agreed that they looked terrible and the white was far too low on the nails. Told them they needed to fix them. They refused to fix them and kept trying to talk me out of it; but this kind other guest convinced them. So they started with the mechanical and hand sander to take of nail polish; again repeatedly hitting my skin, this time to the point of some blood, which stung in the nail polish remover that I had to repeatedly soak in. He didn't even get all of the white off my nails, so I can see it on the edges along my nail. He also put the layers on thicker this time and less drying time. Hours later I was touch gifts that I needed to wrap and my nails were getting stained due to the thick layer not being able to dry normal. Six of my nails had the clear coat above my nail onto the skin above and past my nail holding my nail to my skin, which is uncomfortable and looks bad; had to pry them open and now be careful so they don't catch on anything and peal off. The whole time while working on my nails they would talk in their own language. Some things were about me and cruel; grown of dissatisfaction as he worked, "baby, baby, baby" when they told him to fix it, speaking their language and "ok" with gesture towards me which appeared to be him telling them he'd asked me again and again if nails were "ok", when I went to wash my hands as instructed I could see them talking about me and gesturing to me in the reflection of the mirror, etc. I will never be returning here. Worst experience ever. Never felt a need to write a review before, but I thought I should share the experience of people that didn't care about how they treated their customer. read more
