Let me start this by saying that I have not had a lot of experience with other nail salons. I have only started getting my nails done in the last few months, so I do not have much knowledge about the average costs for certain services. That being said, I was surprised to see the cost of my visit. Let me also say, I got two services: a full set of acrylics with a design (below) and a full Brazilian wax. I highly recommend the wax. It was my first time, and my wax tech (Annie, I believe) was very committed to making sure I knew everything that was about to happen, how it would feel, and making sure I was comfortable. She was also upfront that, given the fact that I was ~going natural~ at the time, it would cost more than the listed price. She told me this before she started, she explained why, and asked me if I was still comfortable. I appreciated her candor. My nail experience was different. Don't get me wrong, the nail tech did a great job and I am happy with the result, but I feel like I overpaid and they hid the total cost until it was time to pull out my pocketbook. As I said, I got a full set of acrylics. I was asked what shape I wanted, and I told them almond. They asked if I wanted polish, and I told them I wanted a heart-shaped design. She did my nails, I thought she did a good job filing to get the shape right, and the design is pretty much exactly what I expected. When I got the counter, I was told the nails would be $100. I was floored. I told them that the menu says $40, how did it come to $100? I was told it was $20 for the design (expected an up charge for the design of course), $10 for shaping (I didn't think this was typically an added cost when getting your nails done... according to the front desk rep, if you don't want the shaping charge you get "square" and presumably just the unfiled acrylic), and $20 for polish. This charge is what really stumped me. How could they charge me for both polish and design when the polish was the design?? It is not even a complicated design! And just one polish color!There was an additional $5 charge (no idea what it was for) on top of the $40 nails. I went back and forth with the front desk rep (polite, but just unpleasantly surprised) and she told me it was what the manager told her. Looking back, I feel I should have asked why I was charged for both polish and the design. That still bugs me. Overall, I can certainly recommend the waxing service. Annie was upfront about changes to the pricing and worked really hard to make sure I was comfortable and experienced as little pain as possible. But I cannot recommend the mail service. Even though my nail tech did a good job, I feel like they hid the costs from me and double-charged me for the polish/design. If I had known from the beginning that the nail service would be so costly, I would have saved it for another day. Just know before you go. read more
