The only reason why I am giving them three instead of two stars is because of Emma's sincerity and welcoming energy. After seeing the five star reviews that this salon gets on Google, I just KNEW that I had to try this salon out. It's not far from my house and I've seen people on Instagram who got their nails done at this salon and they looked phenomenal. First things first, the shop is small, but clean. The chairs that you sit in to get a pedicure were surprisingly kind of worn and torn. I thought the five star reviews would come with high-quality equipment, not so much. The woman that ran my water for a pedicure ran cool water, but in order to soak the dead skin off of feet, the water must be somewhat hot. Myself and the customer next to me had to keep telling them to make the water hotter. Needless to say, I STILL had dead skin on my feet a week after the pedicure. My full set was great, until she started applying the polish. I got gel, which shined, but after a few days began to fade. I asked for a glitter on two of my nails and the lady didn't even know how to apply it. Emma had to come and show her what to do. Frustrating, but instead of being rude I went with the flow.To make a long story short, one of my nails popped off in less than 5 days. NEVER have I had acrylic nails just pop off. You would've thought I had on Lee Press On nails. 3 weeks later, I've been able to pop off all of my nails with ease. I don't know what kind of cheap acrylic they use, but I've been able to go a month without getting a fill in and not one nail begin to loosen up. Ridiculous!PLEASE, don't buy into the reviews on Google or even on YELP. I am back in search of a high quality nail salon in NOLA. I've only been living here for 3 months, and this experience I will never forget. Read Less
