I decided I wanted to get a simple set of acrylics on my nails because my natural nails keep breaking at my new job, and I don't like how they look when they're really short. I looked around online and saw several great reviews for Top Nails salon and thought I'd give them a try, and boy do I wish I'd just saved my money.
They charged my $28 dollars for a basic acrylic set, then got frustrated with me when they couldn't convince me to upgrade my manicure to gel polish, or some 'new' and 'better' kind of acrylic that would cost me $38 then they seemed to decide that I was a lost cause and proceeded to do the laziest, horrible and not to mention unsanitary job, I've ever had the displeasure of having done to my poor nails.
The emery boards were all very well used, and I know she drew blood using them on me a couple of times, so who knows how many strains of other peoples blood are already on the things. there were no clean paper towels anywhere like at most salons I've been to, just a dirty hand towel that had seen better days.
While struggling to glue the nail tips on my nails, she told me (rather testily) that they didn't make nail tips for thumbs as big as mine, which A)rude! and B) LIES, seeing as this isn't the first time I've had acrylics done and other salons have had no problem either finding tips big enough for my wider nails or used a nail form guide while doing my thumb. she then proceeded to cut the tips incredibly short, almost to the nail bed, and told me it was too late when I explained (again) that I didn't want them that short, that's *why* I was getting them done in the first place. But she simply proceeded to act like she hadn't heard me and proceeded to pile large globs of acrylic on my nail, then cut my cuticles up some more with the electric drill/file, and neglected to actually shape the nails. She couldn't even bother to paint the darn things, she had somebody else do that while she went off to deal with what must have been one of her regular customers that's happy to upgrade stuff, judging by the warm, friendly attitude she had with her.
So now I have short, lumpy, crooked, THICK acrylic nails that are no longer than my real nails had been when I had walked in, that I've had to spend my afternoon, re-filing, shaping and painting and I will NEVER go to this salon again! Read Less
