Have been here twice but won't come back a third time. Went for a pedicure and powder-dip manicure. The lady did what seemed like lots of extra steps that she hadn't done the first time and for which I had not asked. Lots of rubbing and scrubbing that seemed to go on forever. Some of the steps were repeated twice, and I wondered why. It took forever. All the time, the lady was chatting with her friend, who had just dropped by... and who remained there as a distraction for an appointment that stretched to 2 hrs and 50 minutes, literally.
When she finally started on my fingernails , I had to remind her multiple times not to use any power grinding-tools on my nails, but she did anyway saying that was the only way to do the cuticles. That one thing would be enough for me never to return. But after such a long time in her salon, I was left with toenails that had gaps in the polish all the way around, plus my toenails were different lengths and shapes. She left razor-sharp edges on several of my toenails. My fingernails had horizontal ridges and brush marks running the length of most nails...even though she insisted I had to cure my nails under a light, which obviously didn't work--and which other salons don't always do with powder-dip nails. My fingernails were different lengths, different shapes and the thickness of the powder-dip varies from nail to nail. She tried to charge me $90 for this, so I asked if this included the 10% discount she texted me about twice. She said she really didn't have any discounts at the time, but she would do the 10%~ bear in mind I had two texts from her number talking about the discount.
When I got home, I had to take an emery board and reshape my fingernails as best I could, and I applied two layers of topcoat and quick-dry to try to fill in the ridges and brush marks, but because they were "cured" into the surface, it didn't help too much. I had to refile my toenails and use one of the tools for removing dead skin around the nails, and then, I applied a slightly darker shade of polish plus quick-dry to cover all the gaps in the polish she had applied. In the end, I was still charged $81...most definitely not worth that cause I had to come home and redo them.
A waste of time and money. read more
