I had a mani/pedi on Saturday March 3rd, 2018. It was scheduled for 1. My pedi started at 1:30 with a gentleman that knew what he was doing and treated my feet with kid gloves due to having RA. As he was finishing he said to me his wife would do my nails because she was faster. She sat me at her station, #2, and proceeded to cause unbelievable pain until I left at 4:15. 4:15!!!!!!!!! First she dips my nails in a bowl of acetone. Hello?? That's awful to do. Use the pads and foil, which everything comes off in 20mins. It's less harmful to the skin and guess what, to the woman who did my nails?? it was not faster!!! It's awful for a person with RA, which she knew I had and it's burning. She was so unbelievably rough, pulling and twisting my fingers, with a dry paper towel, trying to get as much off at each check, as possible. With all this wiping and rubbing, along with the drill to get polish off, she proceeded to get polish all over my hands and fingers. When she was finished with my nails, after a lot of very aggressive twisting, every which way, she put the clear topcoat on, she got up and said 2 minutes and it'll be dry. Just sitting there. No fan. No light. No nothing. She came back and touched my pinky finger, which her finger stuck to. Hmmm...doesn't seem to be dry in 2 minutes. She came in 2 more minutes...guess what??? Not dry. She told me to get up so her next scheduled appointment could sit at her station. I looked at my nails that were not shiny or dry and said I want a gel topcoat with the light so I can leave here knowing they are dry. She turned away in a huff, I followed and sat down at her station, which the woman who was there to see her hadn't sat down yet, so she sat next to me and proceeded to have her nails started by the man at Station #1. She drilled off the wet topcoat and used the gel and light. I walked out with my dry nails, in so much pain and in tears. I have had my nails done for years and have NEVER CRIED OR BEEN SO UPSET AND ANGRY. My hands were swollen and in pain and as my boyfriend saw an hour later shaking uncontrollably. All these emotions over a manicure? Sad and pathetic. This woman should not be doing nails. I paid $101.00 for the mani/pedi. Left zero tip. Although I felt bad because her husband was WONDERFUL. Will never go again. Awful experience. Terrible treatment. Read Less
