| - Best nail experience I've had in Pittsburgh yet! I had an event coming up and I needed my nails done asap! Called the day before and booked an appointment no problem. Although walk-ins were accepted with no issue, I would highly recommend an appointment so you can eliminate wait time! This was going to be my first Shellac/Gel manicure because I have heard nothing but good things about them! Much like everyone else, I destroy regular manicures within days, even hours! So I was excited to see what all the raving was about!
First, I actually showed up on the early side (about 10 minutes early) and was taken within about 3 minutes, even though they were busy! (I had initially been instructed to go through the bowl in front of me at the wait table to pick a Shellac/Gel color, which confused me at first because I wasn't sure if the colors were true, but they are! Don't fret!) I believe the owner was the one who took me right away and he was wonderful! So nice, pleasant, calm, and easy going. Gave a great basic manicure and shaped my nails wonderfully! The whole Shellac application takes almost no time, there is no sit time waiting for nails to dry as when one hand is painted, it goes right into the UV dryer, and then onto the next hand! I had a hard time believing I would be able to reach into my purse right away to get out my wallet, but you can! I say this completely honestly as I am the queen of destroying nails right away! I probably have annoyed many a manicurist! The color looks amazing! I got the #44 which is an opaque pinky-white. Love it! Have gotten a ton of compliments on it, and since it's almost a week since my manicure, they still look like they were done an hour ago!
Something I have found amazing too with the Shellac manicure is that I am a fresh college graduate who has two to three jobs at a time. I am a researcher by day and a DRA (dining room assistant) by night. My hands are constantly in and out of gloves, taking samples, opening envelopes, while at research, and then in the restaurant, they are constantly being washed, shining silverware, changing tables, etc! I am beyond rough on my nails and so far, not a chip! I honestly can't believe how amazing the Shellac manicure is! I will surely be getting only these in the future! Reasonably priced as well given how long they last and how fresh my nails look after a week plus!
Can't wait for my next appointment!
