An absolutely awful nail salon -- I would highly stress that you never go there. I went to get acrylics and the whole process was awful. The woman started by very roughly cutting my nails, very raggedly, and she did not touch my cuticles, even though they were a couple of millimetres long (meaning when the acrylics were put on there would've been a large gap between my nail bed and the acrylics). She then put on the acrylics but when I kept on asking for her to make them shorter, she would either only make them a tiny bit shorter or say I'll do it later and then when it got to 'later' she said it was too late to change the length. The state of my nails at this point was shocking as they were uneven, two even looked wonky, some of them were a lot thicker than the others, meaning they stuck out even higher than my actual fingers and looked ridiculous, and some had some sharp points, some didn't, even when I asked for them to be almond shaped. There was also a big gap even between where my cuticles ended and the beginning of the acrylics, so they already looked like they had grown out the second I walked out of the salon! When she finally got onto painting my nails, she didn't wait for the first coat to dry so the colour was smudged and there were also a lot of bubbles in the nail polish. I was then pressured to leave, even though my nails weren't dry, as it was getting close to 5:30 and it was very clear they wanted to close up and leave. When I left I was appauled at how I had been treated and the condition of my nails, considering it cost £25, so I called them up saying I wanted to come in the next day and get them to fix it. When I went in, there wasn't an apology, they just got to work and filed the nails down very roughly but they still weren't as short as I wanted them and they re-did the nail varnish but, again, made the same mistake so it was smudged. I was then left at the dryers and no-one came back to check on me so I just walked out after waiting there for a while, again there was no apology or good bye as I left and I had to file down my nails myself at home, and apply some clear nail varnish over some of my nails so that it wasn't blindingly obvious how awful they looked. When I went to get my nails taken off, I realised that when they buffed my nails with the machine (which was done extremely roughly), they have dug into my nails, taking off a couple of layers of my nail so I now have dips in every single one of my nails (the darker red parts of my nail as seen in pictures below) and there is also a weird yellow stain on the tip of one of my nails, which has never happened to me before so I can only assume it is a result of my time at the nails salon. If I could have given 0 stars, I would have but the minimum is one but I really recommend you never EVER go here as it will be a waste of money and they ruin your nails. Read Less
