So, I recently moved to the Lakewood area and had to abandon my prized nail salon all the way up in Thornton. What's a girl to do? She turns to Yelp.After reading the reviews on Fancy Fingers, I thought I was in for a treat. Close by, great results, awesome employees...While most of what everyone else said was true (awesome conversation, really friendly and sociable techs, pleasant and clean environment, no cuts...), I hate to say I was sorely disappointed. I went to Fancy Fingers to get a rebase on my my pink & whites. Hands down, best conversation I've ever had in a nail salon. Maybe that was why the job on my nails wasn't so hot. I'm not much of a girlie girl, but when it comes to my nails, I'm a bloody diva. I like glitter, bright colors... you know, the shiny things in life. Firstly, if you like getting your pink & whites with a little something other than white (think purple glitter, pink fish scale sparkles...) you're not going to find much selection in that arena. I did notice that most women were going with the classic French style, but sometimes a girl needs a little glamour! So, I finally find a seafoam green that I totally dig (out of a selection of like, 8 colors...boo), and decided I wanted some fish scale glitter on the tips. They ended up being rough and jagged ends, like they weren't filed down properly. And for those of you ladies who, like me, are rather OCD about how your nails FEEL as well as look, trust me... you would have had a brain aneurysm over these. The pink part of the acrylic didn't even go all the way to the cuticle on a few nails and, bless her, one thumbnail was completely missing a topcoat.After giving myself 24 hours to decide whether I could live with those nails for 2 weeks until my next rebase, I had to make the call. The owner, Debbie, was amazingly gracious and understood completely, explaining that my tech is her newest employee and that she would be happy to fix them immediately. She scheduled me for the next day, only because I couldn't go in right when she called, and made sure that my previous tech watched the new girl (thank you, Kimmy) fix the things I was unhappy with. Review gets 2 stars simply due to the shoddy first-time experience and the serious doubt that I will ever return. Sorry, FF. Read Less
