THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME AT THE SALON. Granted, I called about 15 minutes before I wanted to have my nails done, and they took me in, BUT the guy was kind of rude on the phone, and in person. I felt like an obligation more than a guest as the nail tech man pointed out to me time and time again, that my nails were going to take about 20 minutes to get the polish off. Look, I have been getting my nails done with POWDER for over 2 years now, and normally it is ground down and then the acetate added on top for a quick removal. He did not want to grind the polish off that much so it took much longer. Neither tech (they kept switching who was working on my nails, really annoying btw) made any form of casual conversation to help the time go by any faster while I sat there in a room that smelled like his last cigarette, with the depressing news channel on. I have one nail that is much smaller than the rest due to a really bad injury, so the scar tissue does not allow the nail to attach to the bed half way down my finger, and every now and then I need a fake nail to make it look normal. I was charged $3 for a single fake nail and some nail glue! I'm talking like the kind you can buy yourself and just glue one, no acrylic or real time needed. While buffering my nail, the man tech made me bleed to the point that they needed to use that stuff that help clot your blood. He continued on to adding the powder, which looked lovely, until the last coat. By the time I left my nails were all different lengths, and the top coat stripey, not smooth at all! It looks like I ran my nails down a pumice stone. In the long run, an hour and $48 later, I left unsatisfied. I will be going back to Bella Nails in Danbury, where the staff and facility are much more modern and welcoming! Read Less
