Let me start off with this: DO NOT GO HERE.My friend and I wanted to get our nails done near campus. She found a place and saw the price listing, so we chose here. The interior is very pretty, and we were able to do walk-in's quickly. We were offered free water and had so many colors to choose for gel and Nexgen.My experience was initially positive, then it kept getting worse. The nail technicians asked me what my ethnicity was and I told them Chinese. I thought it was for their curiosity, but immediately they started speaking in Vietnamese. Even though I am Chinese, I speak Vietnamese fluently as well. My nail technician and my friend's were debating in front of me whether they would charge $5 or not for a coffin shape! There was nowhere on the website that said they were going to charge for that. I understand that it takes more work to shape them that way, but it would have been nice and okay to state the extra charge. Instead, they debated. My friend had her nails done before me, but I had mine finished first. A third technician asked mine in Vietnamese, "Oh you're already done? That was so quick!" Then my nail technician replied, "It's okay she's young, there's no need to do a good job."I was outraged and wanted to start speaking in Vietnamese to them. Overall, my nails were okay. My nail technician touched my pink nail when it was wet and didn't do anything about it. Some of it was blotchy and the quality overall was just mediocre. Also, he said in Vietnamese, "This girl wants a coffin with rounded corners, it's not pretty." If it's not pretty, why didn't he suggest something to me? I showed him a photo of what I wanted and he told me okay. Later, a customer was getting her pedicure done. When she got up, her nail technician said to look at her stomach to the other nail technicians. Unbelievable! I could not believe how much judgement and ignorance there was at this place. My friend can't speak Vietnamese, but I could tell how uncomfortable she was.In the end, I paid $40ish with a 10% new customer coupon. I tipped $6, but I wish I did not. In the end, I wish I had never came here and could get a full refund back. I will not be recommending this place to anyone and I have already warned my other friends. The service was so "poor" just because I am a "college student" and that I "don't care." Never come here if you fulfill the criteria of being a student and able to speak Vietnamese, because I guess that you won't receive a 100% quality service. The only reason why I give them 2 stars is because although the service was terrible, they did a great job on my friend's nails. Mine are still splotchy and have blots on them. Read Less
