I've been a client for the last few years. I've never had a problem with acrylic nails, but the service at this place is non-existent at this point. It started getting bad about a year ago when the technicians' kids were allowed to run all over the salon, screaming and slamming themselves onto furniture and pedicure stations, playing in the water, and acting like it was a playground. They're cute kids but this is totally inappropriate, and even though this is a walk-in, in-and-out salon, you shouldn't feel the need to escape screaming kids when trying to take time out for yourself. Also, there's dust on everything- the fake plants, the ledges throughout the salon, the floor, the lamps- everywhere. The bathrooms are ghetto. The worst part, though, has occurred gradually- the employees are so complacent about the business they've established that they aren't appreciative anymore at all. You get a discount if you pay in cash. If you have an appointment, they don't care if you arrive early or right on time, but if you're running even five minutes late, they just take a walk-in and tell you, "Sorry," as though this is the only English word they're able to think of. If you've made an appointment, there's no feeling of commitment on their part to honor your time slot, unless of course YOU'RE the one running a bit late. Last week was the last straw. I came in for my appointment a few minutes early and was told I'd scheduled it for the NEXT DAY. Thing is, I NEVER had scheduled an appointment for that particular weekday because I have a regular, all-morning commitment on that day of the week. It took a lot of effort for me to get there on this particular day (I was dropped off because my car is being worked on) so when they insisted I'd CHOSEN this appointment time, I was surprised at how they INSISTED how the scenario had gone. The young woman (whose kids are always running around) stood there and told me I had requested a morning that I'm NEVER available on. She remembered talking to me on the phone two days before, and admitted she couldn't understand the conversation so she gave the phone to her husband-but her details of what was said were totally wrong. I explained that this is NOT how it went down, and she just stood there and insisted again that it was ME. She doesn't speak fluent English, yet she was telling me I didn't understand what we'd arranged two days before. I'm not a racist or bigot- it's great that we live in this country and everybody has a chance to make a living! But this doesn't mean people have the right to claim they're never at fault. The son of the owner said, "You alright?" and I said, "You know, I'm not. I've spent about $60.00 per month here for several years when you add it all up. I've NEVER been here on a Thursday morning. The least you could do is apologize for YOUR error and work me in, but instead you're blaming me in front of other customers. This is NOT how to treat clients." I walked out. They even have pics of me on a website that they didn't request permission to put up. It didn't really bother me until this last incident, but because I've done nothing but promote them and they've gotten a lot of business from me and those I've referred to them, I'm done. Others have complained but they don't end up publishing the poor reviews. Hhmmm.... Read Less
