Living in close proximity to a local nail salon, I had considered it as a potential go-to place for…read moremy manicure needs. With its convenient location, I was excited to finally give it a try. However, after my recent visit, I regret my decision and feel compelled to share my experience.
Upon entering the salon, I was greeted by a woman with long black curly hair who immediately asked, What do you need done?There was no polite greeting or warmth in her tone; instead, she simply informed me that there would be a wait and asked me to take a seat. This initial interaction set a negative tone for my visit, as I had hoped for a more welcoming atmosphere.
After 15 minutes of waiting, I was called in for my appointment. I had taken the time to prepare my nails beforehand, ensuring they were cut, trimmed, and cleaned. I requested a basic full set of manicure nails with a pink base in an oval shape. However, the technician applied long, pointy oval nails instead. When I expressed my desire for shorter, oval nails, he responded that achieving this look would be difficult due to the width of my nails. This comment was surprising and disheartening, as I had never encountered such a response in my previous experiences at other nail salons.
Despite my reservations, I chose to remain respectful and allowed the technician to continue with the service. I had looked at my nails and thought he had done a decent job. However, my satisfaction was short-lived. Once I got to my car, I noticed that the ring finger nail on my left hand was shorter than the corresponding nails on my right hand. This inconsistency raised concerns about the attention to detail in the work performed.
Upon returning home, I examined my nails under better lighting and was dismayed to find that they were not only painful but also improperly shaped. The sides of my nails were tender from excessive filing, which added to my dissatisfaction. On my pictures you can tell the sides are not shaped to my nails and the base will be falling off soon. For the service, I paid 50 dollars and included their prices.
While the establishment appeared clean and well-maintained, my overall experience left much to be desired. I would not recommend this nail salon to my friends and family based on the terrible service I received. My visit served as a reminder that a convenient location does not always guarantee a positive experience, and I will be seeking a different salon in the future.
