Horrible nail salon! If I could give this 0 stars I would! I went in a week and a half ago to get a full set of gel nails and the WHOLE experience was terrible. The employee I had was not friendly at all and said 2 words to me the whole time I was in there and tried to have a conversation so I just gave up talking. The gel nails were awful. I own a hair salon that does not offer gel nails so of course I went elsewhere to get my nails done. My point is, I went to cosmetology school for my diploma and cosmetology covers how to apply all the kinds of nails you can get. so here is my experience.... Firstly, there is no such thing as "power gel". Its called GEL for a reason, because it is suppose to be GEL not powder. Powder is for acrylics. Of course there was no label on the container that even said "powder gel" (which doesn't exist anyway) secondly, your not suppose to use a drill of ANY kind with gels, you are only suppose to buff the surface of your nail with a file then apply gel. Thirdly, your suppose to cure gel under a UV light for 3 minutes on each hand, then repeat. that was not done. Fourthly, they applied a UV top coat (under the nail polish I received) and that was the only time it was cured. With gels, you have a certain color you pick out in the gels, its not suppose to be regular polish. I will also add that the polish is old and watered down with fingernail polish remover. Fifthly, after I got them done, 2 days later my middle fingernail split in half and popped right off, then the 5th day my ring fingernail lifted completely off, and the 8th day my thumbnail chipped and popped off! Cheap, cheap powder was applied to my nails! Lastly, they charged me for a full set of gel nails when I really received cheap acrylic powder on my nails! I have seen this happen in other nail salons too where they call this powder gel and its not and they charge you for gel. again, powder gel does not exist! my overall experience was truly the worst nail salon I have ever been to! "Nails by tammy" in dickson tn is who does REAL gel nails! I have learned my lesson here and will go to dickson from now on! here is a real demonstration of how gel nails really are done....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUzxjJAbEt4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51kUrCVDz-w Read Less
