Worst nail salon I have ever been to !! On Thursday September 3rd, myself, two sisters and mom had an appointment at 430 pm. My sister made the appointment over a month prior. This was the day before my one sisters wedding. Β When we arrived at (4:15 pm) the salon was busy. The women who greeted us at the door, told us to pick the color we wanted. After we chose our colors we sat for about 15 minutes waiting. The women who greeted us, told my mom and two sisters to sit in the pedicure chairs, and me to sit to have my nails done. We all sat for another 15 minutes, waiting. I text my sister if I should call another nail salon and see how long the wait was. We were at this nail salon because my mom had purchased a gift certificate for my sister the bride. Once the people who work at the salon saw me mouth to my my mom that we may leave, they started running the water for the pedicures. So our appointment was for 4:30 pm, and the water started to run at 5:10pm. My one sister and I got gel manicure's, and wanted to have rhinestones/crystals on one nail on each hand. (I called before to ask if they would be able to do this type of gel manicure with clear rhinestones and crystals, and the women on the phone reassured me they could and had a selection for us to choose from) When it came time for the manicurist to add the rhinestones/crystals, she pulled out small rhinestones, and had about 6 or 7 clear ones. My sister and I considered going to Pinky nail salon on jay street where my sister and I usually go, because they do amazing nail art like this. (And only charge $5 a nail) Β The manicurist showed us that she had a ton of gold rhinestones and it would look great. We decided to go with the gold rhinestones. They didn't come out great, and the manicurist had a very difficult time. I finished before my sister. So I went over to see her nails, which looked a little better then mine. I was watching her manicurist put cuticle oil on her nails, cut her cuticles and get a hand massage with lotion. I did not get any of that treatment with my manicure. I mentioned that to my sister, and when the manicurist was done with my sisters manicure she gave me a hand massage with lotion, and said something to the women who did my nails and she just walked away. When it came time to pay, the women told me that my manicure was $50, for the gel manicure and the two gold rhinestone nails. An extra $20 for that service. My sister mentioned that right up the road they did nails with rhinestones, crystals, pearls and metal balls for $5 a nail. The women said it was because it took so much time and how many rhinestones she used. I paid the women. So when my sister went to pay, her exact manicure was $45. When my sister questioned the difference in price, the women responded by saying my nails were bigger and more rhinestones were used !!???!! I wish I could include a picture. Β My nails are slightly bigger then my sisters, and only 3 more rhinestones were used on one nail and 2 on my other nail. I would never recommend this place to anyone. My sister who had a $100 pedicure gift certificate to this place, as a gift from my mom for her wedding, the pedicure looked quite painful, her body language and facial expressions let us know. This pedicure gift certificate was $100 including tip. When she went to pay, they told her that because she chose lavender as a scent, it was an extra $20. The green tea was part of the $100 pedicure. My mom felt mortified and paid the extra $20. While I was waiting for my mom and sister to finish, my other sister was talking to someone she knew in the pedicure chair, and the women was telling us how upset she was that her and her daughter were waiting half an hour for a pedicure that they had an appointment for. My sister told her how we waited too. The manicurist asked the women what she could do to make the women happy. Lesson learned about trying a new nail place. The customer service was horrible. No apologies for us waiting over half an hour for a service we scheduled an appointment for, just an attitude and gel manicures half done. The Pinky Nail Salon on Jay Street is amazing. The manicurist's are so sweet, the manicures and pedicures are amazing ! The ventilation system they have is very unique, it doesn't smell like a nail salon. Which is great for people who have sensitivity to certain smells. They also do amazing nail art, you can show them something you want on your phone and they do an amazing job, and reasonably priced.
