I began going to Green Nail a few months ago because I needed a local nail shop to go to. I went every two weeks for a couple of months for a regular acrylic fill, occasionally throwing in a pedicure. While the place isn't the cleanest, it was close to my home, and my nail girl, Liz, did an amazing job, so I continued to go. The last appointment that I booked for regular fill, AFTER the work was done, I was informed of price changes. Even though, it wasn't worth it, I paid anyways because the work was done. Before every appt. I would message the owner to be sure of the price I was getting when going in and it was always higher when it came time to pay. Once again, I continued to go because of the convenience. One appointment, i decided to do gel acrylics and while the price was hefty ($60) I was very pleased with Liz's work. It lasted 4 weeks, the paint job was smooth, and the nails were perfect, I'm thinking... I can definitely do this every 4 weeks. Fast forward to exactly 1 week ago. I messaged the owner for a gel FILL and pedicure and inquired on the price. She let me know it would be $50, which is fine. I get to my appt. and she informed me Linda would be doing my nails and she's very good. My regular pedicure girl was there and did an amazing job. While Linda's techniques were much appreciated, she did an absolutely horrendous job on my nails (first two pics). The nails are crooked, the paint job has strokes (EVEN THOUGH ITS GEL) and bubbles formed under the polish. I had already spent an hour and a half in the shop, which has no air conditioning, so I looked at the nails briefly and went up to the cash register to pay. Mind you as stated above, the owner quoted me at $50 for the gel fill and pedicure. Linda informs me that my total is $72!!!!! $22 for the pedi and $50 for my nails. I was taken ABACK, but I don't like to cause scenes, so I paid and went home swearing to never go back. I get home and my boyfriend (who pays for my nails) is FURIOUS, says the nails look like shit. He calls the shop, gets Linda's name, and books me an appt for the next day, so my nails can be fixed. I message the owner and while she tried to help ease the situation, I was already over it and fuming at the same time. $72 for a fucking nail job at a bunk place? GOODBYE. Even in the most upscale salon, I was not unfairly priced, and if the job were at least above expectations, I would be satisfied. Fast forward to today, exactly 1 week later, and the reason why I am writing this review. My $50 gel acrylic has broken off and the edges of my nails are shit. (last pic). Has me fuming all over again. Not even worth a $20 fill. Pros:Close to homeCons:Too many to listGo to Green Nail if you don't have standards. Read Less
