THIS PLACE SUCKS!!! I got back from the nail salon. It's my first time getting nails professionally done. Only 2 people were working there. My experience was .. eh. They did a terrible job on my french manicure, and the staff was so awkward... The place was really dirty and was strongly smelled of nail fumes. No air vents or anything. Only 4 tiny chairs for people to wait at. You sign in using a clip board.
They're extremelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy AWKWARD. So awkward , it was rude. The guy did my nails and didn't say a word to me. But I saw him talking to other customers. Does he hate me or something? I was so nervous that I was trembling. I'm sure he thought I was insane. I almost wanted to cry. He didn't even tell me what to do , like he did the other customers. He just pointed to stuff. He squeezed my hands too hard , and just threw them around. Wasn't very gentle. He didn't say Happy New Year or Thank you to me when I left, but did to the other people. I thanked him at least a hundred times and I don't think he even looked at me once.
And I accidentally dropped my phone when I had to get up and wash my hands, and I couldn't pick it up because my nails were wet with this chemical stuff. He just stared at me , fumbling to pick up my phone somehow. He was like "Want me to pick it up?". Wtf.. I'm unable to, so obviously? And he put it in my purse. Really just awkward.. I WON'T go there again if I decide to get my nails done again. I felt so terrible and uncomfortable. I don't do well alone in social situations lol.
OH . and the crappy manicure cost $30 for a basic french mani. That crap started turning YELLOW within a few days. Then a thin clear layers would fall off and expose the white nail polish underneath. I watched and They don't sanitize their tools from the previous customer which was disgusting. I didn't say anything though.. Just awful. NEVER going back again since Cali is better in both service and quality :). Alot of people think they are rude, ghetto, overpriced, and they are limited in terms of deisign. My advice is to stay AWAY.
Also I should note that this place does their acrylic nails by gluing cheapo plastic tips NOT by nail forms.
If you don't know, nail forms are tape under the nail and the acrylic nail shape is sculpted from scratch on top the real nail, then the tape is removed. It's a much better polished look and doesn't put stress on the real nail. read more
