I decided to go to bellos nail on a whim. my usual nail techician couldn't take me in short notice, I had read multiple good reviews about them, so I gave them a call. they were able to accomodate me with a day's notice, which i liked. I got there and was immediately struck by the burning smell of acrylic and gel. i sat down with tammy, which after my appointment i whought was a pretty ok nail tech ( exceptions being filing down my real nails with the drill, which is a BIG no... in my book, putting too much glue on the tips, so much that it spilled over onto my skin and had the nails stuck to my skin for the better part of a week). i mean she was fast, pleasant to talk to, and the shape i was really happy with. but boy oh boy is that salon DIRTY. when you raise your eyes from your own nails to take a look around, the whole salon is FILLED with nail dust. and i mean FILLED. it's everywhere. and it did not look like the dust was just accumulated there over one day. they probably don't clean there, EVER. the walls were dirty as well. when i looked down at the towel my hands were on, it had hot pink nail filing from the person before. they don't bother to change it in between appointments. the actual nail file she used looked like it had been used on another 100 people before me and that to me is just unsanitary. anyways, i got my nails done short notice for the event i needed them for and walked out. now, two and a half weeks later, my nails are in pain. due to the amount of glue that she used, my nails didn't have enough room to grow, so they started cracking underneath, right across my nail bed. now i have had acrylics on plenty of times and i have never had this happen to me before. needless to say i will never be going back here again.
