Seriously, avoid this place like the plague!! I was treated like garbage and my nails were completely destroyed. I came here out of convenience a few months ago without reading the reviews because I wanted to try gel nails for the first time ever. Now, it may be partially my fault for not standing up for my own poor nails, but keep in mind: I had never in my life gotten a gel manicure or an acrylic manicure so I had no idea what the proper procedures were / were not. When I first walked in, I asked the lady at the door to tell me about gel nails, she vaguely explained what they were, told me a price, and I said sure let's do it!So I get shown to a manicure station, where a nail tech shows up and he tells me with no explanation that gel nails are actually ten dollars more than the lady at the front tells me they are. I tell him the lady at the front said they were less and he says no, they're this more expensive price. At this point i'm seeing warning lights going off but still I'm like: ok, maybe she made a mistake, whatever. I want the nails enough that I agree. He starts working on my nails, doesn't ask me what shape I want or what length, and starts attaching acrylics! Here I assumed SOMETHING was up but he'd already filed down all my nails, and I figured, hey, he's the professional here, maybe this is what you're supposed to do for gel nails. He trims them down to like friggin inch and a half long square nails and I say: "that's too long, can you cut it shorter? I just wanted it the length of my natural nails" he trims it once, still way too long, so I make him trim it again, and he's already giving me attitude. Then he starts filing them square and I say "can I get rounded nails please?" and he says "You should have told me at the beginning!"You didn't ask buddy!! You literally started working on my nails after half a sentence of conversation and no questions about what i wanted other than color. So he begrudgingly cuts my nails down to still slightly longer than my natural nails, then shapes the gel, which ends up LUMPY both at the edge and along the flat of the nail. The nails are uneven lengths. He barely talks to me throughout the whole procedure and basically just grumbles at me when I ask him to fix things. Finally I just pay with no tip and get out of there and make a solemn vow never to grace that smelly, rude salon with my wonderful presence again.Later, when the nails grow out slightly I go to a different salon to get them removed completely because I hate them so much, and the nail tech at the new salon can barely get them off of me, and tells me that whoever did my nails was completely terrible. I sat there with my hands in remover for friggin 10 minutes and it still didn't all come off. Not only that, but he filed the beds of my nails down so far at my cuticles that there's still a DEEP visible ridge almost three months later between the new grown nail and the nail he filed down. Moral of the story is, trust your instincts when you think someone's doing something wrong, and if someone's being a dick to you just walk the hell out of there.DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Read Less
