WORST gel mani of my life. UNSANITARY, RUSHED, DISASTER.I should have followed my gut instinct to leave when I first walked in: a small shop jam packed with hella nail techs watching viet dramas with no a/c on when it was about 95 degrees hot outside. Sadly, I was in a rush to get my nails done before seeing my fiancΓ© that evening and sucked it up. The lady at the front pounds her table to get my attention and have me sit at her station. I oblige, and she soaks my nails in a bowl of water. Without pushing back my cuticles, she begins vigorously cutting my cuticles. The nail file looked totally used with nail dust from lots of previous use, and i noticed she threw the cuticle cutter back in her "sanitary box" that she just used on me full of my cuticle skin! Eeek!! She completely rushed thru my entire mani, from the painting to the "massage"... It was so hot in there, that the lotion kept evaporating. When she taps my hands to let me know she's done, I tell her that the color is uneven and the edges are messed up. Ladies, you know it's bad mani when the color is all over your cuticles, the nail beds are uneven, and the paint is bubbling. She reasons its because my nails are so short. WTF REALLY??!!? I've had plenty of gel manicures with short nails and no problem. This was an absolute nightmare. I need to redo my nails elsewhere far, far away. Look at my photos - you've been warned. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID !! Read Less
