I only came here because the nail salon I usually go to was booked this week and PMF was on the way of where I needed to go after work.So I came in without an appointment after work at around 2pm. A lady sitting in one of the pedi chairs yelled for whoever the front desk girl was. When she came to greet me she wasn't so pleasant and welcoming, and was wearing leggings, a crop top, and Nikes. I'm not one to judge on appearance, but I'm pretty sure if you're working at a front desk in any industry, location, career, etc. one should wear more approachable-looking, possibly business casual attire, not something you'd wear to the gym. Anyways, I asked for a gel manicure only. The front desk girl told me to pick a color from the swatches on the coffee table, but I asked for french ombré nails. She told me that they were only for acrylics. **MINUS ONE STAR** The salon I go to has done french ombré gel nails for me on several occasions. And all their nail techs knew how to do it. So I just opted for a single color gel mani instead.A nail tech came and sat me in a pedi chair, but I politely tell her I wanted a manicure only, and she replied "yes, but chairs are not available." Mind you, there were only 2 nail techs working on their short mani table, leaving 2 chairs empty. But I sat in the chair with my feet stretched over the empty tub anyway. She began on my nails, and started some small talk. A few minutes in, she asked where I worked and I told her "Disneyland." BIG MISTAKE! She then proceeded to ask for my number and asked me to sign her and her daughter in. **MINUES TWO STARS** She kept saying how she used to have relatives that worked at Disney but no longer do, "but now she has [me]", and how tickets, food, merch at Disney is too expensive and she can't afford them. I told her I only get my family and friends into the parks because I have limited tickets. It made my experience rather uncomfortable, not to mention it was REALLY unprofessional for her to request such a thing from a first time client. All the nail techs at my salon know I work at Disney and have not ONCE asked or hinted at me to sign them in.I left 2 stars for this location because the nails came out decent, despite her leaving some gold glitter polish on my hands. Also, she used her nails to clean up the gel polish around my nails instead of a brush dipped in acetone, which would be the reason why I still had polish on my hands. My service was $31 (including the 5% cash discount). I will not be coming back and will be waiting patiently for an opening at my regular salon, Black File Nail Social in Fountain Valley. Their designs are cuter, they have WAY more colors and brands for gel polish, the service is a thousand times better, and have better practices for their nail services.x Read Less
