Unfortunately, the experience fell short in a few important ways. First, there were very limited pink dip powder options, which made it difficult to get the look I envisioned. Second, the final result was an extremely bulky and unflattering dip + gel manicure, which I paid $67 for. I've had dip many times before, and this set just wasn't up to standard. The worst part is that I got this manicure for a wedding I'm in as a bridesmaid, and I had to fly out of state early the next morning. I called the salon right away and they offered to redo the manicure -- but they were too busy to fix it that day. I submitted their required form with photos and a polite message, but I still haven't heard back from the manager after more than 22 hours. Now I'm left scrambling to pay another ~$80 to have this manicure removed and redone at the destination. I'm frustrated and disappointed that this situation hasn't been handled with more urgency or care.

I am a person with a disability. The people there have never failed to help me get in my seat comfortably or hold open the door for me when I ask. Joanne always listens to what I want, and while she might offer alternatives, she never pressures me. She really listens and it's fun to sit and talk to her and watch someone who is a magician at what she does. My nails have never been beautiful, as I am an artist and use my hands a lot. I decided to try gel nails and they are tough and durable and beautiful. I am so pleased. I am so happy to give them a high review.

As someone who recently moved…read moreto the Upper Arlington area, I was looking forward to finding a local salon I could return to regularly. I chose this location because it was conveniently just two minutes from my home, and I had hoped for a positive experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I hadn't had my nails done in a while and was excited to treat myself. I knew exactly what I wanted: short nails with a clear polish--nothing complicated. Upon entering, I was immediately told to "pick a color," even though I wasn't planning on choosing one. While I understand this may be part of their process, it felt rushed and impersonal. I'm naturally introverted and not confrontational, so I prefer to observe how service professionals treat quieter customers who may not always speak up. When I was called over, the technician abruptly asked, "Where's your colors?" I politely responded that I only wanted clear polish. She sighed in a way that made me feel as though my request wasn't worth her time. There was very little communication during the service, and aside from briefly confirming the shape I wanted (square), I wasn't asked any other preferences--such as whether I wanted my cuticles trimmed or if I would want sharp or round nails. She seemed disinterested and rushed through the appointment. The most uncomfortable part of the visit happened during the drying process. The OPI drying machine didn't turn on right away. After completing one hand, the technician abruptly switched to the other and, when the machine still didn't activate, she lifted it and, in a frustrated tone, said "This is how," while shoving her own hand inside to demonstrate. It was done in such a condescending and aggressive way that it left me feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. When it came time to pay, I was shocked to be charged $70 for a basic set of short nails with no color or design. While I had expected something in the $40-$60 range, I still tipped $15 out of guilt and discomfort, though I now regret doing so. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience. The lack of customer service, the attitude of the staff, and the high price for a basic service all left a very negative impression. I will not be returning, and I would recommend others consider different salons in the area, especially if they value kindness and professionalism.
