So maybe I'm just spoiled by my regular nail salon but this place just was not great. I live out of town and was only in Dixon to visit family but decided to find somewhere to get my nails done.I came here to get a gel (no chip) manicure and a pedicure. They had a decent color selection but everything else kind of sucked. I sat down for my pedicure and the guy gave me a card with three pedicure options. He suggests I go with the middle one, says "You will love the middle one. $45." At home, I usually pay $25-30 for an amazing pedicure so I'm thinking for $45 in this no where town, this is going to be fantastic!" It was just not good at all. It was super rushed, and for no reason at all, I was literally the only person there on a Saturday afternoon so it's not like they had to keep the line moving. And there also wasn't much to the pedicure at all. The guy just spent 15 minutes sloppily rubbing some cheap, greasy lotion on my legs. There was no attention paid to my feet and no effort to exfoliate, buff or anything. It makes me really wonder what the basic/first tier pedicure would entail! I'm telling you, guys, I am someone that doesn't mind spending money on extras, but this was NOT a $45 pedicure.The gel manicure: I liked the color I got. But I realized after I left that my nails were still tacky as if the gel was old or hadn't dried properly. A week later they still have a bit of "stick" to them. Also, under the light, you can see the brush strokes in the polish. They're pretty shiny still, but you can see the little lines of the brush strokes. I don't even know how this happens, maybe the polish was super old/thick? I have been getting gel manicures every two weeks for at least six years and have never seen this happen. Also, here I am six days later and the corners of my nails are starting to slightly, but noticeably chip. I haven't dont anything particularly abusive to them, just every day life kind of stuff and here they are starting to chip when I can usually go two weeks without a problem.I cannot believe I paid $80 for such a crap experience. On the bright side, however, I have a new appreciation for my regular nail spot and have learned not to stray from a good thing. Read Less
