I'll start with the positives:As far as I have seen, the prices are totally fair. I go in for shellac and opt out of the full manicure (because I never like the manicure process), so I only pay $20 before a tip. The full manicure is $30. To get a fill set of acrylic is only $35. They are good. They do such a good job that when I went last time I had them on for almost 3 weeks and they didn't lift at all. My nails under the shellac got caught on things, causing them to break a little under the shellac, but their was zero lifting from their work. That's part of what makes the $20 so worth it. They're often busy, so you know it's a well-liked place. Every time I have gone in, the other people there have been people who have been going for years. I make this assumption based on hearing people say "no, we did that last year" when getting holiday themed nails, and thanking them by name and saying "I'll see you next time!" They seem to have a high return rate. The negatives are more about preference:The staff is not friendly. I had tried coming here a few times before the first time I went and every time I called, they were rude and unwelcoming. I only ended up going here the first time I did because I had a last minute interview and my nails had an old gel manicure that was lifting pretty badly. They are not pleasant when you first come in. The people working there laugh at customers. When I've gone, the person doing my nails typically warms up and is eventually pleasant and friendly, but it's totally uncomfortable up to that point. Also, the first time I went it was more crowded and, honestly, the customers there getting their nails done were also very snooty. So if you're looking for a pleasant atmosphere, I'd highly suggest you go somewhere else. The full shellac manicure seems pricey because it's $30, which implies all of the lotion and cuticle cutting or whatever is another $10. I've never done the full manicure simply because I can't justify paying an extra $10 for that. Especially when I don't really like it in the first place. Being busy is normally a good sign, but there have been times when I have felt rushed because of it. It is concerning when the person doing your nails seems to be focused on finishing quickly to move on since that is usually when things go wrong. Also, I really don't know how clean their tools are. When I go, they all come out of a box that says "clean," but I haven't seen any sterilization anything when in there. This is a decently priced place for good work, which is why I keep going.
