WARNING-This place uses very, very old nail polishes. When I was getting my nails done, the color I have selected was very old and had little left in the bottle, it seemed like it was the same with all the other polishes there. When the nail technician painted the first coat, it came out really thick. When I told the person the coat was too thick for me, she went to the back and poured some nail polish thinner and put it on my nails. I am not a big fan of nail polish thinners because once you mix the thinners with the nail polish. the nail polish tend to chip faster than the bottle that doesn't contain one. But with this place, I realized every time, they are always stingy about the left over, thick nail polish at the bottom of the bottle, EVEN WITH THE TOP COAT!!! Because of this thinner containing nail polishes, I never get the glossy effect we can all get at home, just by using a regular Essie or OPI nail polishes. And voila, it chips right the next day. They charge $16 for regular manicure and it is a hefty price if all you are getting is a blob of nail polish thinner, with less than fifty percent of genuine Essie, OPI nail polish.Calling in for appointments-I called for an appointment many times at this place. Few out of many times, this person called Michelle picks up and recommends herself as my request. Because my previous experience with her was not very pleasant (she is chatty and tries to make you remember her name and the days she works), I decline and she goes on to pressuring me to request her friend technician (she goes on to recommend). There are many nail technicians who are exceptionally better than her at this place, and I feel it is not fair for the call receiver to decide whomever I can request. So whenever I cal inl, I just hope that it isn't Michelle who picks up the phone. I have never experienced this with other salons in the area and I plan to change my nail salon to another place next time. Read Less
