This place has 4.8 stars...HOW?!?!? I asked for a manicure, the technician cut around my cuticles recklessly, making 2 bleed, and leaving 'fly-away' and peeling cuticle skin on all of the others. I'm assuming his eyesight wasn't the best, as he recruited his coworker to do the gel paint. Oh! And nails weren't even filed/shaped properly, one of them has a ridge across the end because the only file he used was the absolute coarsest, the ends of fingernails weren't even smoothed out. After the mediocre filing job, the dude puts dollar store lotion right on top of the filing dust on my hands! I wasn't allowed to wash my hands during the entire process or even dust them off before he rubbed the lotion and nail-dust combo all into my skin. The lady that was tasked with painting my nails was no better. There are mountains of paint on the edges of some of my fingernails and others where paint was not even applied enough to cover the sides of nails. Of course there are also bumps in the paint from all of the filing dust that was never cleaned from my hands, scratches and her fingerprints from when she touched all of them before they were properly dried under the UV lamp. On top of that there is polish all over my cuticles and around the nails! I don't think you could pay me to return to this salon. There was no ventilation whatsoever and the extremely strong smell of salon products was mixed with someone's fried fish lunch (or dinner?), zero ambiance, no music (only the constant barking of multiple dogs.....maybe just outside the back door, or maybe in the next room? It was hard to tell). I was asked after paint was on 2 of my nails if I wanted "fake nails".....um....no thanks. Judging by the pictures, that seems to be a majority of the business here. More power to them, but if you're looking for someone to tend to your natural nails, don't waste your time or money here. Oh, and there is a $1 charge if you're not paying with cash. Read Less
