I've waited days contemplating what and how to say this. I went in as a walk-in so I fully expected to have to wait. However, I didn't expected to wait an hour and 20+ minutes. The first hour was spent with the owner telling me "five more minutes" every 15 minutes. Then at the hour mark, she seated me at her station. I spent the next 20 or so minutes waiting while she checked people out, talked to other walkins, and had conversation with anyone that wasn't me.
I held my tongue and only thought to myself "if she's good, it's worth it".
FINALLY, we get to filing. I explain to her that the place I had been growing to religiously wasn't able to get me in with the girl I liked in a while and I just needed my nails done for date night with hubby. She was entirely uninterested in anything I had to say. She proceeded to file and glue on the tips (I was getting a full set), then cut my right thumb tip VERY short and asked if I liked it. I told her it was a little short for my taste and the response was "it's ok" while she cut all the others, also short, but many different lengths.
I was never asked what shape I wanted. She filed some square and some fanned out. While attempting to file my left thumb, I said "ouch" and pulled my hand away. She had cut my natural nail so short that nail bed was exposed and then glued the fake tip to the raw skin. This particular nail had glue dripped all the way down to the cutical and caused pain whenever she touched it. Rather than try to fix the problem, she would try to file, if I said ouch, she would just move to a different nail. So, my left thumb is totally misshapen.
We get to acrylic application.
Some of my cuticals are encased in acrylic (the ones I haven't picked off because it's too painful) and some look like I've had the nails on for over a week.
Once the acrylic had set she asked me if I liked my new nails. I told her they were short for my liking and the shape was off. Her response? "It's ok, do you want to pay me now or after I color?"
So I paid.
Then went to wash all the dust off my hands. Upon returning to my chair, someone else was sitting in it and they were chit chatting (clearly a regular) I stood behind this woman, not knowing what to do, for a solid 45 seconds before being told I needed to move chairs.
So I moved.
She painted my nails while I was on the verge of tears (this date night was very important) and then sat at the dryers.
Overall a very uncomfortable experience, I felt unwelcomed and unwanted other than my money. I will never go back to this place and shame on the owner for blowing off a paying customers feelings. Read Less
