My friend and I went in for shellac manis, which both of us get regularly, but at other nail salons. We came to this salon because of positive reviews on other sites. The same woman did both of our manicures, saying they were understaffed. She brought out bowls filled with water, so we assumed we would get to soak our hands as part of the manicure, but after a few minutes of filing our nails, she took the bowls away. While she buffed my nails, I noted that there was not a clean surface in the salon. The entire place was covered with dust. I also noticed that the tech had what appeared to be growths of some kind on her fingertips, potentially fungus, but I obviously could not be sure, beyond the fact that it was not nail polish. The nail tech pulled metal tools out of a dirty, dusty box, so I presumed that the tools themselves were not clean either. I had to ask her multiple times to refile parts of my nails because they were not shaped properly. She was in a rush and did a sloppy job. There was more than one centimeter of space between my cuticle and where she began painting each nail, making it so the manicure grew out faster. She also put too many coats of shellac on my nails. I have never had a nail tech put more than three coats on, but she kept going and going, without allowing my nails to spend the full amount of time under the lamp. Once she finished my manicure, she hurriedly did my friend's. She used the same buffer on my friend's nails as she had used on mine, as well as the same metal tools, and she had not cleaned them properly between uses. She proceeded to pull a cuticle tool out of the dusty box and clipped something off of her own hand and then, as if that was not disgusting enough, did not clean it and began using it on my friend's hand. To top it off, both of us had chipped nails after one week. This was hands-down (no pun intended) the WORST nail salon I have ever been to. I will never be back. Read Less
