Wow. Where do I begin?
I went in because it was close to my house and I wanted to try them out. I have never hated a salon experience so much in my life. The guy who greeted me (we will say "greeted" for this review) took me to his station and began what I thought was the worst experience I've eve had in a nail salon.
I went to pick my color and he yelled at me, rushing me (I literally took about 2 minutes IF that). When I sat down, I told him the shape and length I wanted and that I didn't want pink gel. He used the clear gel, so I thought we were off to a decent start.
Not only was he so rough with my hands that I had to jerk them away several times, but he yelled at me when he started shaping them into a square. I kindly reminded him that I asked for round and he accuses me of lying and explains how much more work he has to do now that he has to change the shape. Really???
So after he huffs and puffs and is grinding my cuticles down with this black filer, he finally gets one of his coworkers to take his place. Thank God. She was very nice and very gentle. I can't remember her name but you'll know who it is if you go in because she is the only one in there that will pay attention to you.
She did a great job and as she was painting my nails the gray color I asked for, she persisted to tell me how ugly the color was and that no one gets that color "in this season"... Um... What? I shrugged it off, hoping she was just one of those people who didn't have tact. Then she went on to talk about the almond shape I asked for and how for some reason everyone wants it now because people that ask for that shape are "boring". Yep. Those were her words. Really??? Again, I shrugged it off--counting down the strokes of the polish to dry so I could run out of there.
THEN if that wasn't uncomfortable enough, she told me she remembered me because of my bad eyebrows. Ok, I admit, I'm letting them grow out and they may look a little rough but you don't SAY THAT to a customer!
For a gel set and polish it was $50. I tipped and ran out of there like it was on fire. Never again. Ever. I've never been treated so rudely at any salon in my life and will discourage anyone I know from going there. Too bad, because she really did a good job but I don't feel like being treated like a POS for an hour while I get lectured on my "mistakes, nail color and eyebrow shape".. ugh.
