Very attractive salon, nice check in.
Welcoming staff
But here is my experience
So my amazing nail tech in Gilbert left the salon without telling anybody I hate that.
So here I am again and looking for a new nail tech after two years.
So I saw that this location was opening up just five minutes from me so I saw all of the good work that was being done on social media and the and the price was close to my old salon nail salon so I thought I would give it a try
I went in and had a full set and a Hawaiian sunset pedicure with gel polish, and they wanted to do it both at the same time.
In the past, I have realized for myself, I am in the beauty industry, so I'm a little particular with certain things.
I asked if I could get my services done separately, but they assured me that my nails would look great, regardless whether I get them done at the same time or not so I just trusted the process.
The pedicure was great. It was very orangey and yummy. All the good things that a pedicure comes with they give you two complementary beverages. They have alcoholic beverages, coffee, beverages, and soft drinks so that's nice.
My nail tech was funny and sweet. He did an OK job, but I felt the job could have been better if I was actually sitting down at a station instead of trying to move my arms over and make Myself more accommodating for his position instead of just sitting there, enjoying my pedicure.
So that was a bit of a Dud but once again I just went with the flow because that is my personality.
I had a very, very basic polish on my fingernails and that was totally fine. The shape of my nails were a little different than I had wanted, but once again, I'm not a complainer as long as they look nice I can move on.
Now my toes are another story I like gel polish on my toes, but I have been to several several several salons in my life had hundreds of pedicures, and there is a product that takes off gel polish without having to drill it off every time so saying that , this nail technician decided to drill off the polish and it thinned out my nails so much to where the tips of my toenails were cracking and I could see it, and I could also see the confusion on her face as she was looking at them like why is that happening? Well, I know what's happening and you should know what's happening you drilled two deeply nails and it's super thin and it broke. I am still growing that out as we are writing this review.
So just a suggestion to Zara Nail Bar there is a product that you can put on gel nail polish and it'll crack it all up and you don't have to use such an aggressive Process of drilling off the nail and taking the natural nail with it, causing damage to the nail.
And my gel polish job was really really bad at the end. There was a huge Ridge from my cuticle to the end of my nail and it was already hardened by the gel light so it was just a real bummer that I had to go three weeks like that and it just looked terrible but the overall Pedicure was nice. I just wish the gel polish matched the process of the pedicure.
So here we are to three weeks later I call to make an appointment and the original person who put on my full set is not there anymore. So frustrating. Because I will give somebody a shot right..even if I felt the shape wasn't perfect.
I will go back and communicate and all that good stuff.
So anyhow, they give me an appointment I go in and another frustrating thing is I go in and I have an appointment and I was told it's going to be 15 to 30 minutes because they booked up all their technicians even though I had an appointment for a fill-in.
You know, I never understand these places they have you make an appointment and tell you to make an appointment but when you have an appointment, they can never accommodate you at the time of your appointment.
So I sit down and then somebody becomes available, and I just want my fill-in done at this point. The tech technician was so aggressive with the drill and he kept telling me how stiff I was and how I was doing something to cause him problems and I find that so unprofessional. He was so aggressive with his drill drilling so deep into my acrylic to where I wanted to pull my hand away because I was afraid he was going to dig into my natural nail.
He chipped away so much at the full set that I had just gotten three weeks ago that I was wondering what on earth was happening here my full set couldn't even last three weeks without all of this drilling and nipping away and ripping off it was just awful and with all of the drilling I left with a very wonky Fill and drill marks throughout my long nails to where you can see the ridges just awful so all in all was not happy with the nail salon. But they seem busy and maybe I just got a couple of odd characters, but I won't be back and I will be continuing to search for another nail salon. read more
