I went in because it's by my new place. First visit, they gave me an older guy that didn't say hi or talk at all. That's fine, my gel nails were good n lasted long. I prefer good work over conversation.
Second visit, I told them I only have time for one or the other. They said don't worry it won't take long. They assigned me to an older woman. She wrapped my fingers in aluminum foil for at least an hour and a half. I was there for over 3 hours for a gel manicure and pedicure. The gel started falling off 3 days later usually it lasts 10 days to 21 days. She must have put at least 6 coats on. I'm not kidding!
I can't sit in the nail salon for four hours. I'm not going back because they aren't very friendly and they didn't do a very good job. Too bad, because it's so close.
