Eeek! Never again. My girlfriend recommended this salon to me saying that the pedicures are cheaper than the average salon. I decided to get my nails done and made an appointment here, since it's close to my house. The lady on the phone was friendly so I was optimistic. When I arrived, the place was PACKED. It's such a small salon with a bunch of pedicure and manicure stations stuffed in, among other things. I was asked to wait and was seated for about 10 minutes when I was called up. Once I sat down at the station I noticed how filthy everything was - the tables weren't wiped down (and didn't have any towels on them), there was dust and dirt everywhere, tools being reused, etc. I was nervous. Because I had shellac on my nails, she needed to remove it first before doing my manicure. She quickly started soaking cotton balls with alcohol and wrapping the tin foil on my fingers like it was a race to the finish line. Half of the tin foil pieces were completely falling off but it didn't look like she cared. Once she was done, she went back to another client to finish up. After soaking my nails for about 10 minutes, she returned to me and took off the tin foil wrappers to see that the polish had barely soaked off (she hardly put any alcohol on the cotton pads because she was in such a rush). She does the whole process again (and still, going faster than a bat out of hell) while asking me to pick a new shellac color. I was trying to pick up the sheet with the colors on it to get a closer look, and once again a tin foil wrapper fell off of one of my fingers. She then scolded me, saying "You just look! You don't need to touch!". Well, okay then...Once my polish had finally soaked off, she started to scrape it off using the cuticle pusher, but she was SO ROUGH. She filed, buffed, and scraped my nails to the point that it was hurting and I told her so. She blamed the last place I got my nails done for her aggressiveness. Once she got the old polish off, she did the QUICKEST manicure I've ever seen, barely even massaging my hands or anything. The polish job was SO MESSY. Not to mention I chose a dark color, not all that attractive when it's all over your fingers and cuticles. Finally when she finished, AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER (45 minutes longer than any other shellac manicure I've ever had), I also asked to have my eyebrows waxed (Don't ask me why. My justification was I needed them done, and I was already there). She did a decent job but she burnt me with the hot wax. I go up to pay and she has the nerve to point out the tip option on the machine. I'll stick with Sunshine Nails from now on. Even though it's a little more expensive, I always have a great experience there. Read Less
