I would actually give them 0 stars if possible. They have a very appealing look but Lack-of-Professionalism is the only way to describe it. I went in at 2:30pm there were only 4 people there before me and my friend and I didn't get out until 5:48pm. That was 3 FULL HOURS and some change! So, three hours just for a full set and pedicure. Why do I believe they lacked professionalism?First: let me say I waited to be sat down and once sat down, the young lady who was doing my full set of acrylic nails and gel color, would run off to do personal thing so often it literally took her 1hour 22minutes just to finish a full set of acrylic nails and gel color on a less than half inch size nail (I have had a full set and Gel color done on 1in long nails in about 40 minutes before elsewhere). She was raffling so the girl would stop what she was doing just to do her raffle. All they did was talk alot, be way too social, and lacked work, curtesy, and were arrogant. Second: I have fat boy looking nails and the only reason I go into a salon instead of just painting it myself its to get them to look as girly as I can. So I asked the girl to make them square but refined. She told me that that is as refined (width wise) as she can get them.... I have done my nails many times and have had them look damn good when the person puts in the efforts, but she said that any thinner it would be coffin. I clearly told her I want them squared to just file more, and she looked at her co-worker and laughed. At that point I just wanted to go. Never the less, my hands look good. NOT HOW I WANTED AT ALL, BUT ENOUGH TO SAY "THEY LOOK NICE". Third: When I did my toes with a lady named Magalis (or Maria or something like that) she did not scrub at all! Even when I told her to scrub she didn't... You think I want to go pay $30 to do my toes for them to look like exactly like they did when I first went in the salon! Not really! She didn't scrub my feet, they still felt rough, the paint on my toes looked faded and cheap because she painted them ugly and out of line, and they needed at least another coat of paint. Needless to say I had to get them redone at Ricky's in the Bronx, and they look fabulous. (Smooth as butter)Lastly: Only two days later the stones began to fall off. A week in to having them the gel chipped of two of my nails. Conclusion: In my opinion (and I have been to many spas in my life, and to even more nail places), they Suck, are not too professional, they say spa but in reality no spa feel at all, and the price is not worth it at all! I would just have to keep going to Mona Lisa Nail Salon in Bronx and The Gel Bar in Manhattan excellent nail places...Would I go back? Not really. Would I recommend them? Not at all. Read Less
