I came here for the first time a few days ago with a friend to get our nails done. They were friendlier than I was expecting, which made me like the place right away. I asked for an ombré French manicure with sparkles and snowflake designs (acrylic set with shellac as well). They were hesitant to do it at first and they started talking amongst themselves saying things like "it's too much work" in Vietnamese. I could understand it, but they didn't know this. After some discussion, they decided to proceed. The lady was fairly nice, but she worked extremely slow.. I was starting to fall asleep an hour into the session, and she was STILL trying to shape my nails! It took 2 hours for everything and costed me $40. This is a bit more pricey than other places, but I was okay with it because my nails turned out pretty nice. Now this is where this salon lost this customer - about 20 hours later, my nail polish started peeling off! I couldn't believe this because I spent $40 on it, and it took 2 hours of my time. It got worse as each day went by, and it's not like I'm doing vigorous work with my hands/nails to have it peel off like this. I paid an extra $10 for shellac which is suppose to make my nails last AT LEAST 2 weeks, but this didn't even last more than a day, so I feel like they ripped me off! I put on a top coat from home, and it's the only reason why it looks like how it is now in the photos, or else it'd be way worse. My friend who came with me is also very upset. She wanted them to fix this ONE nail they messed up the paint job on and they refused her. Her nail polish is also starting to peel and chip.What's funny is that a cashier at Sears complimented my nails, asked me where I got them done, and when I told them "Mickey Nails", they replied with "Me too! But look what happened after a day" and she showed me her chipped nail polish. I'm very disappointed in this place. I thought it would be my new go-to nail salon in Guelph. Although the people are slightly nicer than other nail salons that I've been to, it's definitely NOT worth the price. I've had an acrylic set and shellac done before at other places and it would last me upwards to a month and a half. This was a waste of my time and money and I will not be going back. Giving them a 2 stars for a slightly friendlier service than most places and for their effort in making my nails look nice. Read Less
