I came here because the nail salon I usually go to has closed for repairs when their ceiling caved in due to the strong winds we had last week.
When I arrived, my temperature was not taken and was not given hand sanitizer and the seat I was sat in was not wiped down despite there being a woman getting her nails done who was asked to move so they could seat me there.
I sat down and the tech began doing my nails. My nail plate was lightly filed with the e-file, my cuticles were not pushed back and then she immediately began gluing the tips to my natural nail. Every single tip she picked was too small for my natural nail, which resulted in them popping off several times, so then she resorted to holding the tip down and gluing the top of the tip as well. When she stopped applying pressure, I could see there were air pockets so she added more glue to counteract that. She also had glued one of the tips completely crooked - it was very obvious that it was crooked so I'm not sure how she didn't see it and she was surprised when I told her it was crooked. Rather than trying to gently remove the tip, she began to rip it off of my nail, which took part of my natural nail along with it. She then finished filing the nail tips and then the owner sat down to do my UV Gel Powder set. I was shocked at how poorly my nails were done. Every nail except for one looks like they're ready for take off. There is no apex to my nail at all... they're uneven, crooked, different lengths. When I said something about the nails pointing upward instead of having an arch - I was told "oh it is because they are not filed yet. It will be better once filed" - never in my life have I ever heard that from any nail place I've gone to. Unless you have an incredibly thick layer of hard gel, powder gel, acrylic, etc... you can't just create an apex by filing down a nail that is already thin and has no c-curve and apex....
When it came time to do the polish, only one coat was done, which did not cover my entire nail and I was talked out of getting the design that I wanted and instead got something that was done is uneven and honestly very ugly. I had specifically picked the design that I wanted because I saw on their Instagram page that they had done the design before. I asked to have a French tip with one side white and and other a light blue. I said that it wasn't what I wanted at least twice and was ignored and told to do it this way. They insisted on doing the French with all blue. The lines are crooked, one side is straight and the other side curves in... At that point I was fed up with the entire experience and honeslty just wanted to get out of there. I wasted 75 dollars on horrible nails.
Overall 10/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. This was a horrible experience. If I could give negative stars I would. I really don't understand all the other reviews saying this place is amazing. There are much better places out there that you can go to and get nails that are 10x better at the same cost. read more
