I feel betrayed, robbed, and mutilated. As a long time well tipping regular throughout the years with 174 confirmed yelp check ins who constantly recommends Spa Nails and constantly advertises for them with nail pics on snapchat, yelp, and Google I expect this painful disastrous situation to be handled better. Instead I was taken advantage of, may deleted all if of my nail pics across social media, and may never go back.
I made a nail appointment with the owners (husband or wife) who I have gotten my nails done by dor years. After waiting 40 minutes after my scheduled appointment the husband said they're really busy and the new girl is good so she'll do my nails instead.
This girl cut me very deeply with the nail file 4 times making me bleed and knicked me twice on my cuticles with the dremel. My nails were trimmed much shorter than I asked for. To make them even she kept filing them shorter and shorter until they were shorter than I keep my natural nails. I was mortified by the length. The girl kept saying "sorry!", "Oh my god are you okay? ", "oh no I got you good!", and "oh no your skin is so sensitive!" While I was literally bleeding. To the point where the Hispanic girl with the table next to her laughed and said "Wow, what are you doing to the poor girl? All I hear is sorry sorry sorry!" The fill was wavy and textured. The polish was clumpy, thick,and messy. The girl was very nice, talked about being tired, hurrying to get home, and was shaking so I felt bad not tipping her. I was charged $50 and tipped $6. When I put on hand sanitizer because of all the cuts my eyes literally watered it hurt so badly and my nails were all so throbbing tender I literally CRIED in my car. I was mutilated and felt butchered.
I showed my mom my nails and had her check 2 on the deeper more painful cuts 2 days later to make sure they weren't infected. She said I needed neosporin BADLY and to get these terrible nails fixed after they heal a bit. I called the owners and said I was cut up badly and needed my nails fixed by them when the cuts were sealed better and not BLEEDING anymore after Thanksgiving so they set my fix appointment for 6 days after my hands were mutilated.
6 days later on black friday I was made to sit 17 minutes after my scheduled appointment and when I sat in the chair I wasn't even told sorry or anything. I tried to explain what I needed fixed as far as too short and wavy, but she sold me she'll determine what she needs to do. That literally hurt my feelings. I'm not a "Karen" since 2015 this is only the 2nd time I've requested my nails to be fixed. I was told I'd need charged $5 for changing the lumpy color if I wanted to. I liked the color and still wanted it, but didn't know if my nails were so textured because of the color running out while the girl scraped the bottle or not.
The owner lady fixed the texture of my nails with the dremel and did a very tiny fill (it had only been 6 days). She painted them and they are much prettier, but STILL WAY TOO SHORT. I was literally mutilated and my nails were hacked off by the previous girl then charged $10 by the owner to only fix part of the problem with zero apologies for getting butchered in her shop. I absolutely hate the nubby length which I told her on the phone and in person which she did nothing to fix, but still charged me $10 even though I tipped her $5 thinking she'd fix what her shop ruined for free like they should have.
$60 on my nails and $11 in tips later I'm still full of painful cuts with extremely short nails. :(
I'm so upset that now I need to pay EVEN MORE MONEY to go elsewhere to get the length fixed or these stubby nails ripped off and a new set put on. Not only that, but this one cut may scar because it's long, deep, and bled every time i washed or bumped it for 3 days.
Betrayal of a regular is an understatement. :( read more
