My mom recently funded a date for my little sister and I, and of course, we pick mani/pedis.We picked Hollywood Nails because we wanted to get in that afternoon. They fit us in within the hour on a Wednesday night, so that was nice. We started with pedicures. Pretty sure my guy was brand new, because he kept picking up the wrong treatment (lotion before scrub, lol) and asking the woman who was doing my sister's feet what he should be doing next. But he was a nice guy and he did a good job. If I was just reviewing the pedicure, I would probably give 4 stars. To be honest, my biggest greivance was that that they didn't turn on our massage chairs, and they didn't offer wine (again, lol, these are not serious problems). In the end, my feet looked nice. And felt nice. A week later, they are still nice. I would give four stars if I was just reviewing the pedicure.The manicures, however, total different story.My sister went first, and her nail tech was super grumpy. She didn't know what a stiletto nail was, and I find that absolutely absurd. I had to walk over and google pictures to show her. My nail technician was much nicer, but she didn't do a very good job on my nails. She barely trimmed the cuticles, yet one was left bleeding. To be honest, I'm not the sort of girl who cares much about that sort of thing. Give me some pain, I'll suffer for beauty, just make sure the nails look nice. Mine didn't look nice. Several were crooked, and bulky. One of them broke three days later, which might be sort of common with solar nails. It's the first time it's happened to me, and I've had solar nails quite a few times.The experience wasn't abysmal, but I would never ever go back to Hollywood Nails. The competition is just too fierce. Read Less
