I have a bad habit of biting my nails, so I've been trying to make them pretty so I stop chomping away. Earlier this month, my best friend had her wedding and that gave me the opportunity to get a gel manicure done at another nail salon.
Creative nails is conveniently located near my house, so I swung by to get a touch up on my nails. I walked in and saw that the place was packed. I was asked to come back later in the day (2 hours later). I agreed and made an appointment for 3:30 PM.
I came back at 3:30 only to find out that all of the technicians were booked. I waited for about 20 minutes until a technician was free. I was a tad annoyed by this, but decided to keep my cool since I've read praise after praise on Yelp.
I had a specific nail design in mind when I walked in. I wanted glitter ombre nails in a neutral color. I noticed that this design wasn't part of their samples so I pulled up a couple pictures and showed the technician. After scratching his head for a few minutes (I'll be honest, I got a little nervous by this), he went to his cabinet with another technician and picked out the gel color and the glitter. I'm pretty sure this was his first time doing something like this. I do have to say though, the end result was phenomenal and my nails look oh so sparkly and beautiful.
I love how Creative Nails is active on Facebook and Yelp. For checking in, I got the "30% off gel manicure for first time clients" deal. Awesome! They also enrolled me in their rewards program, in which you get discounts for referrals. They offer their clients a free bottled water. Needless to say, I was super impressed with their customer service.
Oh and P.S. - whatever lotion they use to lather you up for the mini-massage smells so nice!
