I really thought I was going to love this place.
I had a wedding to go to, and was on instagram searching for a good nail salon I came across there instagram and messaged them before coming in to find out prices for a full-set and pedi. Which they claimed started at $40 and for a design an extra $5 and for a mid-long length an extra $5 as well...
So after that I arrived everything was all good and I decided to just get a full-set once I already knew I was going to be running late to the wedding if I also did my feet and I found closed heels to wear anyway.
I sit down after waiting for a few mins and get greeted by this older man who he going to be doing my nails. At first it was all good, until he seen my nails... YES , I am a "Nail Biter". So he see's my nails and looks at me crazy and says "So you bite your nails!" And I replied quickly with a "Yes, I do it's a bad habit I know" and he said this and looked at the lady next to me that was doing her nails as well and was saying "No good" and the lady next to me had to voice her opinion and said to me "Better not bite these off ahaha ha" and they continued to make lil comments. So moving forward I show him the picture I wanted which will be posted below as well.
And then everything went quite from there.
As a person with anxiety, and someone who doesn't speak much nor likes to make fake small talk with strangers telling them my whole business. He talked with the lady next to me. Which I DID NOT CARE at all I was actually happy he was.
So when it came down to shaping my nails I wanted them mid-long. So he tells me "ok I'm going to cut you tell me when to stop" so begins and I said slim shorter about 3 - 4times but as he was doing this he looked at the lady next to me and made this shady laugh. Like look at this.
Let me just say I have been getting my nails done for YEARS! And know how to wear them and have NEVER bite my (Full-sets) this wasn't my first time at all.
So as someone who has anxiety and doesn't speak much I was hoping i didn't have to keep correcting his work on my nails as I take confrontation not so well and I'm not that confident to tell someone there doing there job wrong based and the reaction I might get. So he keeps telling me if I like the nails and I quickly and quietly say yes to he responds to me trying to speak Spanish saying "look look , look at it" . I don't speak Spanish but I just laugh and say yea ok. (I'm Hispanic) so I guess he assumed I did even though I was speaking English, but I guess he thought I spoke more Spanish and that's why I wasn't talking much idk.
I felt very uncomfortable honestly. And I'm very sad to say this but because I bite my nails it seems as if he was in a rush and didn't care to do my nails perfect.
So I had one design on my ring finger just a simple design and he did it and didn't wait not even a min to let them dry before putting clear coat over the design which made the paint smear and look HORRIBLE and didn't fix the design but just took a brush and cleaned off some of the smear part. Not even trying to redo the design. There was also hair in the black nail polish he used for my nails so he kept having to take off the hair from my nail and continuing painting it seemed his patience ran short and he just painted over one hair that was on my nail.. he also was so in a rush to get to his next client (I'm assuming) he put the black paint brush into the clear coat bottle.
He even asked for another young guy who was there to finish putting the clear coat on my design nail and just walked away to his next client.
My full set came out to $30 . Which is funny cause the person on Instagram stated the price for the shape I wanted was going to be $40+
I'm assuming they know they did a shit job and charged me less for it.
I also gave him a $5 tip. Which I shouldn't have.
But I did.
Now look at my nails and tell me if you spot the fuck ups? I won't post them all here as I just wanted to post my experience doing my nails here not the actually fuck up on my nails itself. read more
