I've been here four times and I'm not impressed. The reason why I've been to this location is because I'm crunched for time and Pro Nails is close to where I work.The first time I went to Pro Nails was for a gel fill manicure, the fill was incredibly thick, my nails had small bubbles and imperfections and the paint began to chip in less than 24 hours. The second time I went here, my gel fill mani turned out okay, I was relieved that this visit wasn't as bad as the first visit. The third time I went here, a male nail technician took off my old polish and touched up my gel nails. He lightly scolded me for my nails; I had to ask him how I should know such information about my nails for the next visit; he said there wasn't a way for me to know. This left me crazy confused. As he picked away at how bad my gel nails were (even though Pro Nails was the last location to touch my nails) he talked about things like Politics, which to me is a major customer service no-no, let alone in any general social or business setting. After he finished touching up my nails, he told me to pick a color. I told him I wanted Gelish and he kept trying to point me towards using another brand. I was told that they're going to stop carrying Gelish because it clumps easily; even though they still had plenty of Gelish colors. I told the technician how Gelish is the only brand I like and that other gel nail polish brands tend to chip easier. After I surrendered and I was and persuaded to go with another brand, he then handed me off to an other technician to complete my paint job. The male technician hovered over her back and very sternly told her she was pretty much doing everything wrong. I felt uncomfortable, there was clearly major tension between the two and I wanted to get the heck out of there; primarily because the male technician pretty much told the the girl how bad of a job she was doing, while painting my nails. The female technician seemed to then take her displeasure towards the male technician out on me and my nails. She was short with me, annoyed and treated me like a child whose never been in a salon and or let outside of the house before. I left in a hurry with an icky feeling and imperfections on my nails (similar to my first visit). Less than two hours after leaving the store, my gel nail polish chipped and the imperfections got worse. All I did during that time was drive and make phone calls (no cleaning, use of chemicals or heavy work). The next day I spoke to my co-worker, showed her my nails and she told me I should go back and have Pro Nails re-do my nails. I reluctantly went back within a 24 hr. period. I showed the male technician my nails and I asked him to re-do or touch up my nails. I explained to him how I was very careful and that these chips appeared in under two hours and I did nothing to possibly aggravate my nails/ the polish. He scolded me and said something like typing, chemicals or driving could have caused these chips; even though I explained to him that I was very careful. My gel nails sure as hell don't chip when I get them done at other places this fast, regardless of doing heavy work or not. He kept arguing with me and I gave up with trying to tell my side of the story because I was flying out of town the next day and I didn't have time to deal with that. I was told that if something happens within a week, they'll fix it free of charge. The whole time the male technician did my nails, he scolded the female technician who did my nails the previous day and made her watch my nails being done (a majority of the time). He asked her to go pick out the Gelish color I wanted. I told them to give me any dark red or red they had left in Gelish. This turned into another "thing" because they went on about not wanting to use Gelish and that there wasn't a dark red left etc. I felt uncomfortable and I thought I was making it easy by telling them to literally pick ANY shade of dark red or red. They became even more annoyed with me for this; I could tell because of rude eye rolls and their tone of voice with me etc. Once my nails were finally done, They again didn't look that great but I pretty much jumped from my seat and booked it out of the store because I felt beyond uncomfortable, belittled and that I just wasted time that I really didn't have time for in the first place. I will NEVER, EVER go back to this location again. The service is horrific, the pricing isn't that great and the pretty decor doesn't hide the dust and lack of cleaning. Misc: -Payment: Accepts most credit & debit cards. Pro Nails strongly prefers cash payments, especially for tips. -Parking: plenty of spaces (accessible and non accessible). Since the salon is located in a strip mall, its typically easy to find parking and the spaces aren't too close together. Read Less
