I tried Nail Art recently due to the recommendation from some locals who said there were about 3 places right in the area that were good, not a rave review, but I'd go for good. Nail Art was in walking distance so I decided to try it.
Essentially, I don't really ever get my nails done in an effort to save time & money, but I had a special occasion so I was looking forward to it as a bit of a pampering treat.
It wasn't a comfortable experience. Everything seems pretty outdated and kind of lazy. The news was on, and I don't know about you, but I'm not too much of a fan hearing about murders when my intent was to relax and have some spa like treatment. Maybe some nice ambiance music?
When I got my pedicure the water quickly got cold. The massage chair was fun, but really wasn't a very comfortable chair otherwise. I've been to places that use those sanitary plastic bins. Not here. Here, they put a paper towel on the foot rest. It quickly got soaked and I honestly am not really sure what the point of it is. My pedicure was ok. There was hardly any kind of foot/leg massage. So sad.
My manicure was disappointing. The chair was uncomfortable again. I saw some pillows around, would have felt good on my back. Adding to the discomfort, I felt the lady really went to town on my cuticles and general skin. It was like she was cutting shrubbery. My hands don't look like I've been clawing my way out of a grave or anything, but the second they get dry I have all this dead skin around my nails like curling up and I have to pick it off...TMI I know. It's gross. :( My manicure was streaky and it started chipping within 2 hours of returning home. It's been less than a week and I'm going to have to take it off. It was a french and I think the white nail paint may be old or something? It looks like I tried to use white out to french manicure my nails. I wish I could white out this experience from my brain. I also feel a little bad because the lady messed up a bunch of times and really tried to get it right. Too bad after all of that effort it didn't even last.
2 stars. I've experienced better. Way better. read more
