Based on the great reviews I decided I'd try this place out. They booked a last minute appointment and it was looking good. They gave me a male nail tech, weird but I went with it. I went in for a gel mani anf regular pedi to treat myself. I asked for the tigers eye polish anf the man who was working on me, told me they didn't have it or anything like it, and that they didn't have the chrome powder either. I had a little extra cash so I let him upsell the full set. I haven't had false nails since high school. As soon as I agreed, he pulled out a whole display of tiger eye and simimar effect sample nails. They looked ugly compared to what I've seen so I kept it simple. Luckily I'm clean and had recently washed my hands because it dawned on me that he didn't allow me to washmy hands before he started buffing them down to make them rough for the gel to stick. 2 strikes so far. I asked him not to make the nails too thick, they were thick af and one after several passes and asking him to even out the length o my right hand set, he still ended up giving me overly thick nails and ny right hand set was longer than the left hand, none were symmetrical, and two were a bit lumpy. The tech was rude to the hostess whenshe cane around asking what the charge would be for tge service, which I found tacky as a business practice. I could tell the tech guy thought he was getting one over on me by upselling, but he only lost what could have been a return customer and I'm going to make sure no one ai know ever visits Deluxe Nails And Spa in Deptford in the Sam's shopping center. It was a waste of money and they guy was tge most untalented nail tech I've ever had, I doubt a simple gel mani would have made me any happier. He didn't even offer a design for my toes, and was just uncomfortable and unpleasant to work with. The other male and female techs working all looked to be over 35 and just over it. Not a good atmosphere, no music, unsanitary practices, and way over priced for sub par service and no talent between the group of them, and lying to customers. I was very pleasant and I even left the tech a small tip not realizing how my nails would settle out after the fact. I hate this place! It's awful. It only looks good on the surface. I was lucky not to get any kind if infectionor fungus considering I wasn't even offered the chance to wash my hands before he started grinding my nails down. Big mistake going there. Read Less
