I was next door at Safari Sam's, trying to decide how to kill 2 hours while my son was at a birthday party. 2 doors down was this salon. It looked clean, had people in it, and had an available nail tech. I have my own files and such that I keep in the car, so I gave them a shot. With as many nail salons as there are in the area, most places try hard to do a great job to keep you from going somewhere else. Not here. If I wanted someone to file my nails and do a quick polish while on my lunch break or something, I guess they would be ok. There was NO service, no attention to detail. The lady who was doing my mani was uninterested, spoke very little english, made no eye contact, didn't attempt conversation. She rushed through everything. There was almost no massage (literally 30 seconds per arm, no massage on my hand at all). She hap-hazardly pushed back my cuticles and then just tried to sand them off with the block. By the time we got to the polish, I was already bummed about the service. But the kicker was this- while polishing my nails, she kept leaving wide un-polished strips on the sides. When I asked her if she could get a little closer to the edge, she looked at my nail, then me, then curtly said "no." and went back to what she was doing. REALLY? NO? I've been getting regular mani's for oh, 15 years. I paint my own nails often as well. There was NO good reason she couldn't have accommodated my wish. She scuffed my nail when finishing up and just clear coated MORE over the top of the obvious mistake. At this point, I didn't dare ask her to fix it. She put me under the drying station, came back after 10 minutes, told me I was good to go. I paid, and left, still VERY tacky from all the clear coat she piled on. Went home and took off the shoddy polish job and did my own. I don't usually give low ratings to businesses, but when it's ALL about the service and I get poor service, it's warranted. Wish I had a better experience, but I really just regretted not driving 2 blocks to Target. Read Less
