visitors vacationing from out of town, do not come to this salon if you value your nails! I thought I would avoid the high end pricey nail salon in the casino hotels along the strip and go to a local salon. Well, first thing I noticed was there weren't any local independently owned nail salons along the strip or conveniently within walking distance of the strip. So on our way to Fremont st (on the bus) we saw a huge nail salon sign and we got off immediately and thought we lucked out.
Well, my first impression of the surrounding neighborhood was YUCK! We were just outside the glitz and glamour of the strip (quite a ways from the Wynn which is basically the last casino hotel on the strip) and found ourselves smack dabbed in the damned ghetto. But I digress, we didn't let that stop us! I quite literally was desperate! We walk in and there's 2 people getting pedi's and like 8 employees sitting around (yeah, that was very telling to say the least). I asked for a gel french manicure and a french pedicure, the gel french mani is simply a thick tacky like (clear or selected colors) polish that is applied over your natural nails to strengthens and prevent your nails from breaking it's also supposed to last 2 weeks.
The girl who did my pedicure was fine, she did what was expected, nothing fancy. The girl who did my manicure however was absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!! OMG! I could have done a better job doing my own nails myself. I don't remember her name but she was non Asian, late 20's/early 30's, thick dark hair, bulbous nose. Anyway the first red flag for me was when she was to lazy to take the polish off my nails with nail polish remover to investigate what kind of gel finish I had underneath the polish. Instead she files the polish half way than in a very sloppy way slaps on way to much gel removal solution wrap my fingers in aluminum foil for a few mins and takes a scraping tool to scrap the gel as hard as she can killing my nail bed in the process talkin about, "oh sorry honey!" I'm thinking, "yeah you are sorry, that's a fact!"
Next thing I hear from her, "What the hell? Why isn't this coming off?" The girl doing my pedi said its the stronger type of gel (not the cheap crap they were using) so pedi girl says, "just file and shape it." In my head I'm going, "Great! I get to have the ghetto special." (Sarcastically of course) lol anyway long story short after spending $55 on the mani (way over priced for the their low class services) and $65 on the pedi and not at all happy with the the results of the Mani or how tight, gritty, and dry my hands where feeling.
The next morning after taking a shower I noticed the tips of my french gels started to peel (pics of this is posted above). My husband made a call so they would fix this sorry excuse of a manicure which it just so happened to be on my last night in Vegas. Having absolutely no shame and not sounding surprised at all about my nails basically disintegrating less than 24hrs after getting them done! they said absolutely and we close @ 8pm. Well when we made it by cab around 7pm and there was a white, blond haired woman standing out in front smoking a cigarette and had the nerve to tell us that even though they close @ 8pm she didn't have a technician there. The lights were off and no one was there But her old, tacky, rude, haggard a$$! I was livid to say the least!
All in all I'd say its absolutely worth paying the extra money to get your nails done right! bit the bullet and go to the nail spa at your hotel. I've certainly learned my lesson, that's for sure!
