| - I came to the Kim Vo salon with Chrissie O. from the PP and some other friends. I got married in Vegas and was looking for a place for me, my sister and some friends to go to get some mani/pedis before the big day. I knew that salons on the strip charged outrageous amounts for their services, but decided to book an appointment anyway. As stated in the PP we arrived super early because the girl told us to come early, and then when we arrived, they told us we were too early. Umm.. annoying.. So we walked around to kill time and came back. When I told one of the manicurists that I needed a full set of gels. She said, "but you didn't book that." I replied, "Umm, yes, I did!" Minus one star for lack of organization. Moving on to the actual quality of nail services.. My manicurist did a great job on my french manicure and pedicure. My full set of gels looked pretty natural, and my french pedicure was exactly how I liked it. My pet peeve is when they make the white part too thick, and my manicurist did it thin, so I was happy. The girls seemed to be happy with their nails also. Now fast forward to 3 days later.. at this point I am in Maui, enjoying my honeymoon, when I realize that there is sand stuck in between my natural nail and the gel nail. Yup, only three days later and my gels were starting to lift! When I got home to San Diego and visited a local salon, the lady told me that the gel they had used on my nails was supposed to be used for temporary purposes only, so apparently they are using cheap products. Minus another star. Overall, this place was okay. The facility was modern and clean. The prices were expensive, but right in line with everyone else's pricing. The organization at the front desk could use some improvement, and it's probably a good idea to avoid getting a gel set here.
