Did not get my gel manicure here but I made the mistake of getting it removed here. He took an acrylic nail and wedged it between the gel and my nail and just tore the gel off, one by one. They were literally flying everywhere. One week later, and my nails are literally cracking and splitting and are bleeding and very painful. I couldn't have asked for a worse experience, and my nails, which are usually long and strong, are in the worst shape I have ever seen.
