**** PLEASE READ AND DON'T GO HERE!! ***
I called to make an appt for Saturday night and the owner schedule me for at 7 p.m. (Full set with Jenny & gel pedi with LIsa). I arrived 15 min before my appt. I was sat down in a chair and Lisa began to work on pedi. She showed me their polish book & I soon picked one out. I had nothing on my nails so I wasn't worried Jenny hadn't started on my set. But then 15 mins go by, 30 mins... then 45 and still nothing. Mind you, this entire time the staff was screaming and running around & joking and laughing super loudly!!! This was not a relaxing atmosphere by any means. As it gets closer to closing time (8pm) I'm just getting down with my pedi and the Lisa tells me, Jenny was running late with a customer and when she's done, she'll help you!! I was so annoyed at this point because for several minutes the owner and another employee was screaming at each other in their language and it that just wasn't very professional.
So Jenny (who I'm assuming is the owner since she was the one answering the phones), calls me over and asks me to take a seat. She pulls my hand in kind of aggressively. She begins to sand my nails using the machine and you can tell she was so angry that her hands were shaking and I thought to myself, "I'M GOING TO LOSE A FINGER!!!"
By now it's 8 o'clock and I tell her, I can come back tomorrow if it's too late. Even though she made the mistake of over-booking it, I didn't want my nails to come out horrible because she's rushing.
So she goes, "no, it's ok". Then I see her bring out dirty tools from her drawers! So I pulled my hands away and asked her to get clean ones. She seemed bother by it but I didn't care. I'm not going to get an infection. She pulled another tool out and said it was clean. Mind you, there are no blue water containers or packets around that I can see (Lisa pulled one packet, that I assume was clean from her drawers).
I felt so uncomfortable that I ended up pulling my hand away and asked her to reschedule me for the next day. I know, why would I go back?! Well, my friend comes here all the time and her nails always look good. So I figured, I'll give them a shot, maybe she was just having a bad night?
So Jenny schedules me for the next afternoon at 3pm. I get there 5 mins early and she was still with a customer no where near done. I wait almost 30 mins!! Even after she scheduled me. She finally calls me over and she hadn't finished with the previous customer she just moved her over one seat and continued to finish her top coat.
She finally gets to working on my set, again, I had to ask her to show me the clean tools. Her work came out very pretty.
I went to pay and she charged me the credit card fee again!! So I told her, I was just here last night, why are you charging me again? I would have only been charge one fee but because of her dumb butt, I had to use my card again. She goes, "sorry, I have to charge it". Whatever.
The set last just under 4 weeks.
I just went to my usually nail salon and as she was taking off the acrylic set she showed me the nasty, gooey residue left behind! Yup!! This company is using MMA, A LIQUID IS ILLEGAL AND HAS BEEN BANNED IN THE U.S. FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS BECAUSE IT CAUSES PERMANENT LOSS AND DAMAGE TO NATURAL NAILS!!! However, some places still purchase it from China. I was wondering how they could afford to charge such cheap prices. Well, there is my answer. read more
