I cannot believe the good reviews here...I guess all it takes is one bad manicurist...and I must have been the "lucky one" to have gotten that one bad person...
When I went there on a weekday in June, the salon was busy...so I thought that would be a good sign...plus Yelp had mostly good reviews.
I had been to another Roseville nail salon (Tiffany's -near Snelling and Larpenteur) and had a bad experience there --my foot had been sliced (drew blood) during a pedicure there, while my heel was being filed. The "practitioner" there who spoke little English, looked up and asked, "Hurt?" Yeah,of course it hurt...it was bleeding ...Needless to say, I never went back there. I was hoping for a better experience somewhere else.
So, I saw the good reviews for Supernails Spa and decided to try it..
Unfortunately this time, during the manicure, one of my cuticles was cut by the manicurist. As a result, I later ended up with paronychia -which is a nail abscess- infection- and very painful. I had to go to urgent care to get it lanced with a needle (to expel the pus) and get an antibiotic, so ultimately it was a pretty costly manicure.
Oh, but the rest of the story is that while I was still at Supernails salon, having my "experience" there I looked up and saw one of the employees who had just finished another client walk by.....
Oooh...I recognized her...good grief...it was none other than the "foot slicer" (the person I'd had at Tiffany Nail Salon)! Once I saw her, and now with my latest experence with a different technician, I am certainly never going back to Supernails again either. If I had just seen her before I started the appointment with this new person, I would have walked back out the door. The "slicer" may have improved by now (it has been a year since she sliced me at Tiffany's), but I am not going to find out... Supernails Spa must not screen their employees for proper skill or training in their employees...so now, at the very least, it has two horrible technicians (maybe more).
Actually, I should have realized there was a problem when the water the technician prepared for the pedicure was way too hot- It was burning hot!.....Altho she did cool it down, it was after she'd a;ready asked me to stick my foot in to burn....I mean......test it...but....hindsight is always 20-20. A decent skilled technician would have known that water was too hot.
The "massage chair" was also broken. One side was rough ..not at all relaxing..I had to turn it off - it was painful.
Oh- and my polished nails were chipping off only two days after my "Super" Nails experience....I won't be back! They need to change their name to "Shoddynails Spa". One more aggravation..my technician pestered me with up-selling...which I did for one item...not worth it at all...And "pester" is the right word to describe her because even when I said no, she would later ask "you sure?" Add the up-selling to any later doctor bills and you have a pretty costly mani-pedicure.
Anyway, if you did happen to be one of the lucky ones who had a decent experience here ( on of those who gave this spa a 4 or 5 star rating)...stay with that techician you had...don't take any chances.....you may get one of the two I had and live to regret it.
My rating would be a zero or negative if that was possible...it doesn't deserve even one star. read more
