To preface, I've never written a review for anything because nothing has been so amazing, or in this instance, so terrible for me to write about it. I visited this salon with my family as a time to bond and spend some quality time, but instead walked out disappointed even after two attempts of fixing my manicure. Everything was going well and the ambiance was pleasant, until it came to getting my desired nail shape and length. I had put a reference picture down for my preferred look and patiently sat while she glued my nails down. I asked for a slightly modified length of the original picture (about 2mm shorter is what I had asked) and I was told that the ombré design would not work because of how short it would be. Things just went downhill from there. I could tell that as soon as I asked for the shorter nail Judy had gotten frustrated with me. After she had trimmed and filed the nail, I wasn't even allowed a second to assess the length and shape of the base until she had started applying the acrylic coating. She even spent the time that she was doing my nails talking to her co workers instead of engaging in the pleasant small talk that my 3 other family members were receiving, even gesturing to me or my nails and pulling my hand over to show others, which was very uncomfortable. Once the acrylic was applied she had started on the filing and "shaving" part. The nails had come out lumpy and uneven. When I asked for it to be smoothed out, I was told that the ombré would not be there anymore and that I "didn't understand about acrylic" as she proceeded to show me on my nails. I said "ok then that's fine" but she had continued to do so until there was only pink on one nail, as if to show me just how wrong I was. She had finished with my nails and asked me to wash my hands and I said thank you. At this point, I was already upset and didn't want to aggravate her or myself further and rejoined the rest of my family. I was starting to accept just having bad nails until my mother pointed out how lumpy and uneven it was. One nail was missing spots of the top coat just because of her not painting all the way to the tip. I insisted it was ok but the lady that was working with my mom overheard us and said that Judy (the woman who was doing my nails) would fix it again. When she was called over again she had a very sour look and get very aggressive and even painful when buffing out my nail and blatantly used her phone in front of me. After an hour and a half appointment, I walked out with lumpy, uneven, very pointed nails (when I showed her a picture of rounded/almond shaped nails). At least my family had a very pleasant experience with their mani-pedis, walking out with perfect Frenchs and gel nails. The facility itself was wonderful and my family's experience was great, the the service that I was given from Judy was less than enjoyable. ABSOLUTELY NOT worth $60. Read Less
