I've been to this salon twice now, and I'll never go again. Their amazing gel polish selection, and large comfy spa chairs gained them the two stars. There's also one awesome technician who does great pedicures, but more importantly is kind and really funny.
The rest of the staff however- RUDE. Yesterday I got a gel pedicure and a fill with gel polish. The same RUDE technician did my fill on both of my visits... unlucky me. The shop was getting busy and she cut so many corners in order to get me out and start on the next person. I told her my nails were lifting (though she should have noticed this on her own as it is her job) and instead of repairing my nails properly, cutting off the parts that were lifting, she just put acrylic over them and applied glue to the tips. Literally 36 hours later, one nail is already chipped. She also tried to talk me out of my color choice. When I said I wanted to go with it anyway, she RUDELY and loudly said, "I already told you- it's not going to look like sample!". Good thing I stuck with my choice because it looks exactly like the sample and exactly how I wanted the polish to look. When I commented that it came out well, she ignored me completely. I said thank you when she was done (purely out of courteousness) and she replied, "Hmm".
Pedicure: The technician was nice enough, but again cut corners. I got the callus treatment and after scrubbing my heels and rinsing my feet, she wanted me to put my now clean feet back on the dirty towel. She didn't even fold it over. I literally had to ask her to change the towel. When I did, she wasn't even surprised- like she knew she should have done it. And she had a drawer full of towels in her caddy! Just before the massage portion of the pedi, the technician usually puts hot towels on your legs to open the pores or whatever. Instead of bringing a towel for each of my legs, she brought out one scorching towel and put it on my left leg while massaging the right (which seemed counter-intuitive since the towel is supposed to go on before the massage). Then she put the same towel on my right leg while she massaged the left. By then, the towel was cold. So my left leg was basically burned and my right leg got a cold wet towel as an afterthought.
Lastly, they suck at keeping appointments. I got there 5 minutes after they opened and apparently, that's the only way to be serviced in a decent amount of time. In the short time I was there, 3 different people walked in and were told it would be a 30 minute wait because the rest of the staff had yet to arrive. Two of them said they would be back in 30 minutes to which the staff said "Good. No problem". One stayed and waited in the salon. She waited 45 minutes. One girl came back 35 minutes later and was told it would be another 5-10 minutes. She decided to go somewhere else (good for her!!!). The other woman came back and was still waiting when I left.
Go to MILLENNIUM NAIL & SPA instead! It's in the next plaza (where Starbucks is located) and a little bit older, but they recently remodeled it. I went to Skyller because of the awesome polish selection, but Millennium just ordered a ton of new colors!!!! Most importantly, they're kind and considerate at Millennium. read more
