All I have to say is I'm disgusted with this place. I was enticed to go here because of the advertised $14 gel manicure I should have known better, right? Wrong. My friend had gone there and told me they were good so I figured what did I really have to lose? I walked in and was immediately turned off by what I saw, the sign was very old and gaudy looking and upon opening the door it just didn't look clean... Then I saw a sign that said "have your own kit for only $4.00!" What don't these korean salons understand... you should always be using new tools! Or at least properly sterilizing them. Why should I pay to have my own tools?! Anyway I looked past this and sat down for my gel manicure. I picked a color out that was in a bin of other gel colors. She got the color i picked and then proceeded to put it in the wet washcloth warmer. (Looks like a microwave, not sure what to call it...) Which I thought was very weird. But okay whatever, I still ignored it in and let her carry on. When I put my hand under the UV light (there were two, one for each hand) the light my left hand was in kept shutting off . She tried fiddling with it, but it wasn't working. I'm not usually fussy and I hate putting people on the spot so I kept mouth shut as she struggled to keep it on. She applied the color polish and stuck my hand back in the light, where it still wasn't staying on longer than a couple of minutes. I pulled my left hand out of the light to look at it and noticed the polish on my left hand was starting to kind of, warp? I don't know if that's the right word but it was rippling and it was very strange. I showed her and she showed the girl next to me and she started to rub it off. My right hand was fine. I didn't think it was her fault so I continued to keep my mouth shut and let her work. She took the electric file and began using it to get the gel color off... It hurt so badly I started tearing up and pulled my hand away numerous times. She eventually switched with the woman next to her and she finished my left hand. My right hand was done at this point. I was annoyed because I had sat there for an hour and half. I just wanted to pay and get the hell out of this place! She told me it was $25 and I stopped breathing. I was too annoyed to even function so I handed her my card to pay and she looked and me and goes "oh no, we don't accept cards." I was furious. The sign said it was $14 it was all over the salon and I said to her "Well I was under the impression by the signs that a gel manicure was only $14, so I don't have $25 in cash." And she replies "Oh no, color gel is $14..." So WTF did I get then?!! I had $22 in my wallet I handed it to her and said here take it and walked away. Safe to say I will never be going back here EVER again. My nails are so paper thin from the filing I'm in pain typing this. This is what I get for not going to my usual place. Absolutely disgusted. read more
