Wow. Clearly this business survives from just walk-ins from the DFO. they clearly do not care about all these bad reviews because i got the exact same terrible service as people have been writing on here for years! Refused to do my nails any shorter, didnt ask me what shape i wanted, didnt use enough coats of SNS and can see the fake nail extensions underneath, hurt my hands several times and end result was sloppy and terrible - bits of glitter in my nails when i got french tips?!?! The place was very dirty (placemats), no music, no TVs, no magazines, nothing and all their attitudes were terrible. Read Less

I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. My nail broke 1 hour after I had it done I went back to have it fixed. I was happy to pay and she said no. Horrible horrible!!

Staff had food in salon with bad smell on two occasions . I got SNS done and was told it would last at least 2 weeks . After 3 days one nail chipped and staff seemed unhappy to accomodate but reluctantly fixed . 3 days later too coast and two other nails come off . As I went back the same person wanted to charge 15 Dollars for a coat that was too thick and not dried properly to begin with . Terrible service and poor quality Read Less

Terrible experience. I had asked for stiletto nails and was coming in for a refill already having that shape. They charged me $70 for crooked slanted nails, I came back the next day to ask if somebody could correct it and the next lady filed my nails so aggressively that I was left with about 6 small cuts and friction burns to the point were my fingers were actually bleeding. The lady had no hesitation putting the acetone straight on those little cuts which was so ridiculously painful. Terrible service, bad experience and low skill level. I worked in the shopping centre and would tell any of my customers who asked about my nails (once I found an amazing nail lady) how terrible the Melano service and skill was and to avoid going at all costs.

Regret not reading the reviews. Hygiene issues, used non sterilised equipment, cleaning of foot spa was a squirt of spray and once round the top of the bowl. I left with damaged nails.

The placemats where you put your hands on where filthy! I ask for her to change it but was ignored. The entire time I was there there was no other Customers! Read Less

I should have read reviews before I burned $30 into this salon. I had a gel manicure done over a week ago, did a very bad job on removing my cuticles as one of my fingers bled and still kept pushing it back! It only took them 8 minutes to finish off my gelish which and now the gel is already wearing off after 1 week! I am so pissed. I hope they close out. Staff doesn't even speak proper English!

Horrible absolutely horrible! Got gel nails and the lady did the worst job ever! It hurt and she did much damage to my fingernails and she got the nail polish all over my finger and I asked her to clean it up and she cleaned a tiny bit of it and left all the rest of it and said that its clean enough! Just terrible and not recommend. P.s - if I could leave less than one star, I would. Not exaggerating, just saving people the damage. Read Less

Took 2 hrs to do sns. Apparently there's a $10 removal fee of my old sns which I was only told after she'd taken it off. Charged 50bux for a new set which is ridiculously overpriced let alone when the quality is shocking!! Owner was so rude to customers walking in while she was doing mine and also answered a call from her "leasing agent" and put it on loud speaker to discuss her not wanting to pay 8grand a month in rent. Would not recommend to my worst enemy and definitely never going back! Read Less

I was their first customer of the day today, I got a full set of Acrylics, I asked for Almond shape, and white shellac.. my nails are now all different shapes, the acrylic is so thin that one of my thumbs has already fallen off and the shellac looks horrendous! Not even full coverage over the nail. I do not recommend them at all. The lady was also rude to other customers that walked in while she was doing my nails. Would not go back, and would not reccomend anyone else did either. Horrible experience. Read Less
