I have probably never had such a good French manicure before, ever!
This is the first time in years that I was not given a crooked nail. I mean, every single time I get my nails or tips done, it never fails, one is applied slightly crooked! This did not happen when I went, hallelujah! There is a first for everything!!!
I went there last Friday and was met by the smiling faces of Cindy and Anne. (Spelling of their names may be wrong). Yes, they spoke Vietnamese quite a bit because it is more comfortable to them, so get ready.
I sat near an awesome girl named Tammy who is a regular there. I hope to see you again, Tammy!
They offer SNS nails! (SNS=Strengthening Nail System) so that is what I chose. That is when your fingers are dipped into the powder acrylic a few times and this does not require a UV light. It is meant to keep your nails stronger, it is supposed to last several weeks. Anne did my nails. She is due in October so she was just a delight to see.
They had too many SNS colors to choose from which was why I stuck with the French manicure.
The shop was clean. They are in a strip mall facing Anderson Mill. You can see a dog grooming shop near them. They had adorable childrens chairs, too. I would have liked to see them use items that I could tell were sterile (like when it comes out of disposable packaging) but that doesn't always mean that everything is perfect, I just like to know where the tools are coming from.
Anne just went right to work on my hands with much detail. She made them square without me having to say a thing and made them the perfect length.
Anne knicked my pinkies, and thumbs but very slightly on the edges and she saw it right away and apologized. These things happen. At least she acknowleged it. My pinky did bleed a tiny bit but I took care of it so it's not a big deal. The instruments they use could cause that kind of knicking. Again, this does happen.
I would have liked it if they would tell you the prices up front but that is alright. I still want to support this business. I hope that when I get married, I am able to come here and get another awesome French SNS manicure.
Anne took her time with me, did not rush me nor make me feel like part of a fast quota. My nails feel and look great. A local celebrity even looked at them yesterday and commented on how good the work was. She even asked for their names and information, which I gave her. I will be going back. I did end up putting tips on my nails and did the SNS for $40. That is pretty comparable, price-wise, in this area. Not everyone offers SNS, though, so I highly suggest you try it.
Thank you, wonderful ladies! read more
