OMG - RUN FROM THIS PLACE! I was so excited to get my nails done. I haven't had them professionally done in three years. I ignored the bad reviews and called this salon. It is close to home and I thought if they make me happy, I'll start getting my nails done again. :0) They told me short white nail tip french would be $42 +. It is actually $45+. Why Lie? Whatever, ...right - what's another $3? I said, "Ok." I was still happy to try there. :0)
The guy approached, talked to me about what I wanted and sat me at the first chair. Nice start. There was what looked like a dirty towel at his station. It was gross. I'm sorry. That's kind of a red flag at what is supposed to be a sanitary experience. I asked him to please change it out. No attitude. Just what I thought was a simple request. If it was clean, he could have just told me, "It's clean. I changed it out." I would have been reassured. Other salons use paper towels, but every place is different and I'm still happy to be there and willing to move forward. :0) He lifted it up and left. He came back with what looked like the same stained snagged dirty towel. I made a face because it was that gross and it looked like the same towel. Same stain. Same snag. He got up to get another towel and started YELLING at me from the towel station across the salon. When he returned, he went on and on AND ON about how I didn't trust him to change the towel and then gave me a side glare. Seriously. LOL. Is he really mad and glaring at me because I asked him to change out the towel? More red flags. sigh....Dirty towel, bad attitude, angry technician = sloppy, bleeding painful, nail experience with a possible nail infection. No thank you. From where I sat, the bad reviews flooded my brain. The "infected nail" a girl had, "Rude technicians" and "Dirty place" noted from other reviewers. I got two out of three in one sitting. I wasn't going to gamble on getting an infection. - DANG IT! I wanted to be one of the ones that gave this place 5 stars. I was really looking forward to getting my nails done again. It became stressful in three minutes of being in this unprofessional place. I yanked my hand away and left.
First Technician: You got your way. I left. After your behavior, you became right. I could not trust you, AT ALL. Not with your bad attitude. Do you know what that funky stained dirty gross towel represents? "What else don't you clean? Are your nail tools dirty too?" No one wants to get their nails done by someone who doesn't keep a clean station and can't control their anger.
Note to owner: Toss the old nasty snagged stained, dirty towels away. Other places use paper towels after each client. That ensures a clean towel. It's not that hard. Your first chair nail technician needs anger management classes. I left without getting my nails done because of him, not the bad reviews. No one can trust an angry person with nail files. For all I know, I'd leave bleeding, infected and with gloppy crooked nails. He would have the audacity to charge me. He ruined what was supposed to be a nice experience and one I would tell everyone about. I'll keep my money - minimum $1,250 a year (not including the pedi's or gel nails I would get for special occasions.) Getting nails done is a luxury. I don't need you or it. Too bad. read more
