I went in for a gel manicure on a Sunday. This was my first manicure in the state of CT, as I just moved here from PA, so I did not know where to go. I decided to try this salon based on yelp reviews. There was no wait time which was nice, but it was pricey. I liked that you get a free shoulder massage with your service, however I will not be back for one main reason --With every gel manicure that I've ever gotten (which is lots!) I've always gotten my cuticles done very thoroughly. However, during this manicure, she was about to start putting the base coat on without doing my cuticles. I asked, "are you going to soak my hands and do my cuticles to remove the dead skin?" She said, "Oh, yes." I thought it was weird that they did the cuticles after doing the base coat on the nails but I thought, whatever, as long as it's a part of the package. Then, she started to put the actual color on my nails and I stopped her and said, "I thought you were going to do my cuticles?" She responded, "Oh, no, that's not a part of a gel manicure." I was miffed for sure, especially when she told me earlier she would do it for me. I've never had my cuticles NOT done during any kind of manicure, including a gel one. So for $35, I didn't get what I was paying for.I will not be back because of this. I've heard great things about Jenny's nails which is two feet away from them on Danbury Rd. I will try my luck there. Read Less
