Very disappointing! Where do I start!? First,I made a same-day appointment for 12:30pm pedicure appointment. I called just before 11am. When I got there about 12:15pm, I told them my name and that I had made appointment, but I noticed the lady was a little confused when she was looking at the schedule book. When I looked at the schedule book, I didn't see my name anywhere on there. I guess someone, whoever made my appointment, didn't follow through and log it. Well, not a big deal because they took me right in. Pedicure was okay. I had a man doing my pedicure. I decided I wanted a gel manicure too. He sat me at a nail station after my pedicure was done so I thought I would have one of the girls doing my manicure. Well, it was the same guy. He was horrible. I told him I wanted box or square-shaped nails. He said it was too short. Well, La Mour in Pearlridge did it for me; and I was pleased with the turn out and my nails were short when I went there too. Now, onto the actual painting of the nails. It was very sloppy. Where the paint comes up to the cuticle line is very uneven. It looks like I could've done a better job painting it myself. He even wanted to do a second coat on my pinky that had a bristle on it from the nail polish brush, even after I pointed it out to him. He kind of looked at it, gave a dumbfounded look and proceeded to apply a second coat. That's when I told him, 'You don't see that bristle!?' Then he stopped and went on to my other fingers and indicated that he'd come back to it. Also, he'd often miss painting all the way to the side of my nail beds. I could see it was clearly missed. I had to point that out too. At this point I could tell he was getting agitated. When he messed up another finger nail and I showed him, he stopped-go-stopped-go with trying to fix it like he was contemplating just "throwing in the towel" which he made clear when he asked me if I wanted him to remove everything and have someone else start over. Umm...he was already almost done. I didn't have all day to start from the beginning. I told him that I didn't have time for that. So he began to fix the problem but I could tell it was a half-ass effort. Even when he'd fix it, I still wasn't happy with it, but he'd give that attitude like, 'that's the best it's gonna get.' At the tail end he told me to wash my hands. I wanted to see if he was completely done because there was still small spots of nail polish around my fingernails and a pretty big smudge on the top of my hand. When I confirmed that he was done with me, I told him about all the nail polish spots he didn't even bother to clean up. Instead of using polish remover, he used those cuticle clippers. By this point I could tell he was irritated. Well too bad!! Don't do sloppy work! He started working fast and swiftly, and clipped a part of my skin on the side of my nail bed. I said, 'Ouch!' He probably thought I was acting or finding something else to complain about, but sure enough it started to bleed a little. When he took me to the register for me to pay, I showed him how it was bleeding and then he started talking to one of the lady workers. He gave up and left it to her to handle. I wasn't looking for any kind of discount, but I just wanted to show him the lousy work he did. She told me sorry and that accidents happen. When she said that, then it made me a little upset because I started feeling that maybe I shouldn't be paying full price for lousy service that I wasn't happy with, and it was sounding like an apology-but-you-still-have-to-pay-full-price for this, but to my surprise she told me she would give me a discount...okay that's nice, I thought; but it was nothing to get excited about. She followed it up by saying that they could give me $5 off. That's it!? Oh well! I'm not going back there again. I wish I had gotten another nail technician. *I attached a photo. You can see how the paint that comes up to my nail bed is uneven. I think I could have done a better job. Read Less
