Went for the first time today and got a manicure. Not impressed. Very disappointed, actually. It could have been the time of day (went around 6pm) or just the woman I had, but the service was poor and they weren't particularly friendly. Polite, sure. Professional, I guess, except instead of talking with me, my manicurist mostly talked with the lady who did my sister's nails who was sitting in the station next to me. I got the french manicure, which is more expensive than th...e basic manicure, yet the treatment my nails received was of lower quality than my sister, who got just the basic one. Her manicurist moisturized and massaged her hands, but mine did not. Instead, my cuticles are even more dry and unpleasant looking from the alcohol/nail polish remover used to strip my nails before applying the polish. My one nail bed is now scabbed over from the cuticle trimming, which okay, yes accidents happen, but ALL of my nail beds were throbbing and irritated when I left. I will not be returning. Even the polish job is no better than what I would have done on my own. Never again. I feel very unsatisfied and that I wasted $22. I could have had a nice lunch out with friends instead, lol. Anyway, I'm guessing this was maybe a fluke, and/or bad timing...I hope this isn't a common experience there. Maybe it was just the woman I had. I wish I could talk with them without bursting into tears. I can't do that, so I thought I would share my personal review, as a forewarning to others as well as a sort of therapeutic vent for my own sanity. See More Read Less
