While on vacation, two of my nails started to chip earlier than expected and I had a party to go to so why not treat myself to a nice spot in Palm Springs, right? I get my nails done every 2 weeks, 3 tops. I don't mind paying more for a clean, high quality salon. $45 for a mani came with some great expectations. Results: total disappointment! The lady was very nice and sweet. We talked and, as usual for me, I paid little attention to the quality of the work. I noticed she was using quality products so I assumed quality work. So wrong. I paid & walked out. As I got to the car, I looked at my nails in horror! There was paint all over my skin! The color didn't completely cover my nails at the edges and to make it worse, the red color I previously had was still showing on the edges! Thinking back, she didn't even clean my cuticle. I politely walked back in and asked for another coat to cover the edges. She agreed and explained the color I previously had was hard to take off. Really? I mean, a quick nail file would have done the trick, but whatever. One more coat later and I was still disappointed. Color still didn't cover the sides, I can still see the red in many places and now I had cheap, uneven looking color. Nothing short of completely starting all over would fix this. I can't wait to get back home and run to my regular salon to fix this. Until then, I'm picking at the edges to break off the color that is on my skin and grossly over my cuticles. This picture hardly shows how bad my nails look. I would give one star, but I did 2 since the lady was nice. Read Less
