I have NEVER in my life had a more upsetting nail salon experience, in the history of me getting my nails done! As many people know. I usually always have my nails done. Being as so, acrylic, causes your nail bed to be brittle. I am completely aware of my nails, and how thin they are, from the constant fills I get. I have tried acrylic, and gel, regardless of the lies nail technicians tell you, acrylic especially ruins your nails, and so does gel, and gel polish, from uv lighting. Knowing this, I tell the nail technicians every time, when getting a new set, that my nails are fragile, and thin, and please DO NOT, leave the electric file on my nail bed for to long. Doing so results in extreme discomfort for me, and severe burning. So I arrive today at Perfect 10 Nails&Spa for my appointment at 12:30. My nails are in the condition as stated above. I inform my technician about my nail condition, warn her about the severity. She doesn't acknowledge me speaking. I figure ok, maybe she's just not in the mood to talk, that's understandable. She instantly tries ripping of my past acrylic. Already causing me pain. Meanwhile she is sighing under her breath, and I can tell she does not want to be dealing with my nails. She proceeds to be rough with me, and then starts to pour a bowl of acetone. This is to help her remove the past acrylic, again I haven't said anything, but I can seen the irritation beginning in the tech. When she walks away, I tried to help her by trying myself to remove the remaining acrylic, now she yells at me, and the male tech further reprimands me. I apologize, and leave my nails to soak. At this point I feel humiliated already, mind you they are talking to me like this in front of another customer. After my nails soaked, and she, again takes the electric nail file to my nail beds, she leaves it on them to long, and I pull away, exclaiming,
"When you leave the file to long, it burns".
Now again, I am ignored! Finally she, sizes and glues the fake nails, while being rough again. She chuckles under her breath, in a snickering manner. Now, even the nails put on were not done correctly, because I had to ask her to remove two of the nails before she sized the other hand because they were crooked. I became so upset with the disrespect, and the embarrassment I started to cry, while sitting in her chair. I wasn't even angry, because, I was in such aw, and disbelief. I then, excused my self to bathroom. When I returned after collecting myself, another women approached me. Now telling me that this was my fault, and I shouldn't be getting my nails done anyways if I'm in to much pain. Mind you this is still all going on in front of a customer. Finally, the male technician interrupts me, while I'm speaking to the other women, and tells me we aren't going to be able to help you here, and that I need to find some where else. Obviously at this point, I was going to be leaving anyways. This was the worse experience like I said, that I have ever had. I truly hope that they treat other customers better than they did me today! If you live in Norwich, I highly recommend NEVER going to this salon! Below is a picture of the salon, and my nails after leaving. I didn't even have her finish removing the fakes because I just wanted to get out as soon as possible! read more
