Horrible experience overall. During my appointment, I was accidentally cut and started bleeding. Linzy did apologize, but it felt very dismissive. We also disagreed about the nail shape I requested--she insisted I was wrong, only to later admit she misunderstood what a ballerina shape was. This was after she kept on saying that what I wanted was a coffin shape, and speaking about me to her co workers. I don't understand how you can work at a nail salon and not know the difference between a ballerina shape and a coffin shape. It was annoying that I had to educate her, and received poor treatment because she was ignorant.
I think it's so very important to be a kind person. We are all human beings. Kindness matters. It's important to be a good person. God is watching us all. Treat people with kindness. I think it's important to have a good soul. I do feel as though Linzy did not treat me with kindness. It was disheartening to be treated that way. I'll remember this moment, and be sure to always treat others with more kindness, so I never make them feel the way Linzy made me feel.
At one point, I used a translator app because I noticed the staff speaking in another language. It was disappointing to hear negative comments, especially as I had hoped for a positive experience and planned to tip generously. I recommend bringing a translator app if you're concerned about communication or want to understand what's being said around you.
Linzy and Taylor would compliment my natural hair then smirk and exchange giggles with each other. I felt like they were mocking me. I pray I never have hatred in my heart. I will never treat another human being like that. I don't understand that type of behavior. I would never treat someone else like that. I would feel awful for being cruel. God is watching you. Black skin is not a curse. Black skin is not a sin. Black people deserve to be treated like human beings, because we are human beings. I felt bad for them to be honest. I pray to never be like that.
It's upsetting because I really WANTED to tip Taylor. Since she's a pregnant woman working in a nail salon, and I noticed she wasn't wearing a ring. I really wanted to tip her, I don't feel like any pregnant woman should have to work in a nail salon. My heart goes out to her. I feel so bad for her.
Taylor seemed kind at heart, but I was disappointed in the way it seemed like she let others influence her behavior toward me. I genuinely do think deep down she is a good person, I hope she doesn't allow negative people to bring her down to a low level. She left bubbles in my nails after doing my ombre, which was frustrating.
Lastly, but most importantly, as a woman of color, I did not feel welcomed or respected here. I left feeling dismissed and mistreated, and I won't be returning. read more
