| - Terrible. I went in to get a manicure, to unwind after a stressful day, and all this place did was add to my stress.
I went in on a monday, as my usual place Lux Nails (one street over) was closed. I went in on the recommendation of a friend, so I expected much better than what I got.
Now, dont get me wrong. I've been to cheap places, and while those places were cheap, they were NOT dirty.
This place was filthy. As soon as I walked in I regretted it and considered walking out. But this place was recommended to me, and based on the reviews here, I thought "dont be a snob. Give it a chance."
I asked for a simple manicure and a paraphine treatment.
(1) The Manicure: The manicure is satisfactory at best. she did a good job of shaping my nails, and getting the length right. however, her job wasnt so hard, since I'd just gotten a mani at Lux last week.
(2) The paraphine treatment: DISGUSTING. I'm not saying this lightly either. usually, for paraphine treatments, (at my usual cheap place $5.00/pop) I get gloves with the paraphine that I dipp my hands in to. these people brought out some sort of paraphine tank, that was dirty, had HAIR in it, and had some sort of dirt at the bottom. They then proceeded to tell me to DIP my hands in the dirty, hairy, tank. NO. I refused. SO DISGUSTING and NASTY. This is a nail place, its unsanitary and I'm fairly sure they must be violating some sort of law/ regulation. by the way, the treatment was $15.00...
(3) Atmosphere: well I've already said how disgusting the tank was. on top of that the place reeked of fried food, and the attendants or "esthetitcians" walked around the entire time, having some sort of convo in their own language, while screaming at the top of their lungs. The place was dirty as well. There were loose towels and materials scattered all over the place, and I didnt see my attendant clean her tools after she was done with me.
Overall a HORRIBLE experience. This place is disgusting, and truly undeserving of being in a place like Yorkville.
If you want a cheap mani in the same neighborhood, head to K Nails. They offer better prices, better service and are MUCH CLEANER.
Mani was $25.00
They were nice enough to refund me the $15.00 for the paraphin after I refused to take a dip in the dirt pool.
