PLEASE READ ENTIRELY: Fair review! Arrived at 6:30, wasn't seen until 7:15 and knew they would rush and want to go home. I asked for a takeoff/full set, but he insisted I do another fill (for the sake of time most likely). The technician said in a mildly joking manner "you're making me stay late". I had a broken nail, so I had to get it fixed. We actually finished a few minutes after 8. The nail that was repaired is much shorter than the rest of my nails (I actually have another repair that's also short, from a diff salon). These days salons don't care to shape/match your nails evenly. Upon finishing, he did not initially wipe down my nails with acetone after they set under the UV. He gave me a quick hand massage, and applied cuticle oil and lotion. However, this interfered with the top coat, and he had to redo with another coat. He then left me to click the button on the UV machine myself on each hand. Upon finishing, my pinkie nail still showed a spot of my old gel polish, my thumbs weren't cleaned on the side (extra polish) and my thumb had multiple bubbles from having to add another top coat. Upon all this, before having to do this, I tipped him. Not what I would normally, but I felt rushed and didn't like the shape of my nails, nor did I get the service (new set) I asked for while arriving an hour & a half before they closed. I was ready to go home too...It's not my fault I waited almost 45 minutes to be seen. These nails are enough to get me through, but I won't be returning. 1st impressions are lasting impressions, and I'm tired of salons rushing jobs, and doing sub par work unless you pay $50+ for designs, ombré, etc. (All of which I've had before). I'm not a fancy girl, and like it simple more often than not. Basic fills with gel polish should be treated equally. I want them to look clean and smooth, evenly shaped, and I'll recommend to anyone who asks, but I won't be in this case. Read Less
