I’m a nail tech of 16 years. Studied under some of the most famous Nail Artists out there. Now, my work wasn’t as good as the national competitors —- but I was meticulous in my work. #1. I would be embarrassed about the pics on your google search. That chevron French manicure is hideous!!!!!! I would have put a light base down (nude,pink,etc...) and then put the white over it. It’s not difficult to to that chevron. And whomever the tech was—- shame on your boss for not teaching you how to do a better job!!!!! That’s your means of living. No matter where I worked I had a full book because I did excellent work. I was famous for my pedicures. In which this is the reason I am writing this review. My daughter (who obviously knows a thing or two about nails growing up with a NT )—- went and got a gel manicure and a Free “Spa Pedi” was included. She laughed. She said mom— I don’t know what kind of spa pedicure they’re talking about because it want anything like yours. My normal tip on a gel manicure was $10 and normally $10-15 for my Pedis. And I didn’t need to try to upgrade to the Spa. That’s only hype anyhow. A mask doesn’t do that much. Clients want a a Good Massage!!!!!!! That’s what they’re after. And if they have bad heels well by all means put some callous remover on there..... let it soak and file that junk off!!!! Smooth as a baby’s bottom. I did reflexology type massage that lasted probably no less than 15 mins for both feet. I could do the hour pedi with a good exfoliation, cuticles, callous removal and awesome massage. I made gooood money. So I’m sorry to ramble on. But I’m telling you—- give those girls/women some training or your never gonna make it. My daughter said her NT was an older woman that didn’t even massage her feet for 5 mins. Pathetic. She’s on her feet all day and was looking forward to that. That’s how you build a full book. You CARE. And do good work. The beauty industry is done from the heart. It’s not like other jobs. You have to have passion for it. Clean up the Polish around the cuticles and take some pride in your work ladies. My daughters polish job wasn’t even good. Let me know if you want some training. I’m available. Seriously. And sincerely. I used to teach new techs. Just my 2 cents. :))))) Read Less

DO NOT WORK HERE. I worked here a while ago, and I had to leave after a few months. The owner is condescending towards her employees and plays favoritism. She cracks down on certain employees about the rules, while others do what they please. She took money out of my check for accidentally breaking a ONE nail polish, and for pedicures that I did because I didn’t ring up the Groupon right? I did the pedicures and I expected to be paid. I signed up to be a nail technician, not a receptionist! The "spa" is in a dark basement with no natural lighting, and no space. There is nothing spa like about it. They don’t have built in foot tubs. Instead they use tiny portable foot tubs with plastic liners that you can buy at Sallys. Since the tubs are not built in, they have to dump out the foot juices in the sink where they also sanitize their tools...They are unsanitary because they share foot shrubs and lotions between nail technicians. They don’t use gloves or sticks, but instead double dip into it with their fingers after already touching peoples feet! *Shudders* They re-use foam sandals instead of throwing them away when a client is done with them. Super cheap. Its foam sandals, just by new ones!! When you get a manicure, they don’t use water. This is difficult for the nail technician because cutting dry cuticles is difficult and often creates tears in the skin. It can also be painful for people that are sensitive. Manicures are best when you soften the skin and the cuticles. The lotions soak into the hands better when they are moist. They rush through all their services because the owner is always overbooking (only has service because she uses Groupon). I felt bad because I like to give every client the attention they deserve. Sometimes we would do two pedicures at at one time to keep up with the appointments. The ONLY reason this places gets one star is because the nail technicians are lovely and the purses are kinda cute. Unfortunately everything in the store is overpriced. Please spend your money somewhere else. Read Less
