    Tiare Nail Spa - Im in love with my nails  So pretty, really nice job

    Tiare Nail Spa

    I wanted to love this place (my middle name is Tiare) and despite the bad reviews I tried. It was…read moremy birthday and we are vacationing and wanted pedicures so I called and made two appointments for my daughter (18 years) and I.. Upon entering the man did not greet us, he waited 10 seconds and said "sign in" as I was already doing it. He then got mad at us for touching the nail polish and said "put it back in the right spot". About 15 minutes later we get called back to sit and my daughter got so lucky with her nail tech (Tam), a young man who was doing his all to make her experience good - I'm glad she got him! My lady came over 15 minutes after that, she did not make eye contact, she did not greet me and didn't say a word to me the whole time besides "water" meaning 'put your feet in the water' or a hard tap on my leg meaning 'take them out of water'. At one point I told her I had a hurt toenail and it probably needed a tool because a file wouldn't do the job (I do this everytime I get a pedicure and have never had a problem and the issue is visible) she completely ignored me. This was the most uncomfortable experience I've had, and it costed me $100 - worst part of all, it was my birthday and all I wanted was a decent pedicure with some hospitality!

    I've been getting dipping powder manicures routinely for the past 8 years and my experience here…read morewas one of the top two of any salon I've been to. I called for a same day appointment and was seated immediately upon arrival despite it being surprisingly busy for a Monday afternoon. Great color selection and clean salon! According to the Venmo I sent for gratuity, I think Angie is the person to request for dip. My nails look very natural and have lasted 4 weeks.

    I've been there a couple of times so far. I've tried many other salons in Portsmouth and have not…read morebeen impressed. Herbal nails, everybody is so nice and friendly. I find a lot of times I go to the salons and I don't have that experience. And they do a great job. They also have dazzle dry, which is an amazing product. It lasts about 10 days without chipping and dazzle dry doesn't have any of the chemicals that a lot of other nail polishes have that are banned in other countries. So it's a really healthy alternative. I would highly recommend them.

    Beware they still here they will force you to tip. She will ask you over and over and over how…read morewould you like to tip Venmo Cash App or Zelle. If you refuse, they will take it! I'm not the only one read reviews! Updated This lady has lied in a review! I never contacted them to set up an appointment. I don't even wear acrylic nails I do SNS. I asked for gel, but now I know she put acrylic on my nails. The entire service was not what I asked for and you lied about the price you commit a credit card for and now I'm posting the pictures when you keep denying a call and I posted the recordings. The lady took off $10 off of my nails because she broke them. I have a recording with them admitting to me saying no tip. I have several phone calls from them. I have text messages while I try to reach back out to them and do the right thing. I'm going to post them on there. I have a recording this morning where she's hello hello I cannot hear you. She knew exactly who I was and they know what they did never set up an appointment didn't know about this. I'm not even from here My nails was done in Tulsa Oklahoma. And now they lying because they stole money and committed credit card fraud. And I will be pressing charges and I also was disputing the transaction. So you stole six dollars from me but now you're losing three times that. I have it on recording everything! This place is crazy! She totally messed my nails up and ask me how I'm going to tip her out loud so everyone could hear. I had 1 broken nail on each hand! No yellow, no cracks no nothing. She would've had to do a new set and soak off because I do SNS powder dip. She broke the nail and started to laugh. The whole review that she just put was 1,000,000% a lie. I told her I had just got off work at 6 AM and I was very tired. I had not meant to sleep. I'm not even from here. I'm here working. I never set an appointment. Never knew about this nail shop. It was the closest one. We have to discuss what I wanted. I told her gel. The entire time I asked for something she just ignores what I asked for that's why I put the text message in there while I'm telling them this this is in my friend said you asked for four times kendra you need to ask for a manager. That's when I say FaceTime me. As you look underneath, my nails is no yellow! I will also post a picture today before of my nails then I broke, but 2. One on each hand! She drilling on my real nails and I said be careful and she broke my real nail and started laughing. There way shorter then what I ask for. Humps everywhere so much acrylic underneath the nail bed. I came in with long, beautiful nails. Some were broken. But by the time she finished, I had nothing left! Nails Different shapes and sizes, and she ask for a tip! Even my Lyft driver said I wouldn't even pay for that. That's how bad the nails look. This is just one of the issues of my nails. I kept correcting her throughout and she stood was just laughing and trust me trust me I said make them thicker. Trust me trust me she wouldn't make it thicker some thick something. Everything I ask for her to fix she found it funny and would not fix. Then turned around very loudly and said how you wanna tip?! I said tip required how you want to come to the front! So I left my AirPods in there in the other clients and also nail people decided to have a conversation about me. It wasn't about the tip. I'm from another state here working so the money was not the issue. It was the issue that every time I said something was wrong. She would not fix it and she found it funny. She literally found it funny that she was drilling on my nails and broke it after I kindly said please be careful. I asked for a totally different length, but she kept drilling and violent and I have literally no nails left. I will not tip you. Nowhere ever come back again. This is literally right after I left the nail shop. I have the receipt in the Lyft driver, so they cannot say that they did not do my nails here. just checked my car since I refuse to tip her she told me $60. I checked my credit card and it's $66 on there so you took six dollars from me. Call back to the nail shop. The lady said what you say, you tip her 2 to 3 dollars I told you no! It was like they was trying to force me to tip her! She said she worked two hours on my nails. She did not work two hours on my nails. They open up at 9:30. This is the time I got to there. It was about an hour or less she worked on my nails.
