| - I would rate this place 2.5 stars. Got full set gel nails and a pedicure for $90 (65 for the manicure and 25 for a basic pedicure). I usually get my nails done in Reno, but I still feel like this place charges more compared to other Vegas nail salons. I've had way more complicated designs done with rhinestones and glitter tape and never paid over $50 before.
I made an appointment for 1:30 and was seated immediately. The lady who helped me was sweet, but it was mostly awkward since she didn't start a genuine conversation which is what I'm used to at other places. While she was working on my pedicure, another lady began working on my manicure and everything felt super rushed. Plus I asked for almond shaped nails and she sharpened them into stiletto claws (shaping your nails is an extra $10). Every little detail I wanted costed extra! The lady was about to charge me $10 for painting a thin silver line on 6 of my nails. She lowered it to $5 after she saw my shocked expression. On the other 4 nails, the flowers weren't as detailed as I wanted them to be. I wanted a watercolor effect but the flowers looked too static and plain. Since I'm paying that much already I wished she put just a little bit more effort. Plus, the lady left a huge chunk of hardened acrylic powder under one of my nails and that's a really big pet peeve of mine.
Another lady next to me who was getting a pedicure asked for her upper lip and chin to be waxed also. At first the employees said it was $10 for upper lip and $5 for chin, but when the lady later asked for the prices again 5 min later, the employees said it was $12 for upper lip and $7 for chin. I overheard their bickering and was about to say something, but the employees eventually agreed with the true prices. After that, this place confirmed they really just care about making a few extra dollars instead of being sincere to their customers. I apologize in advance if it was just a misunderstanding with the prices, but it made me feel like I could have been overcharged as well.
My mani pedi came out okay, not great but not bad. It looks like the product of lazy effort compared to what I'm used to. The silver lines are sparse. The flowers are bland. I wish I could get my $65 back. The only thing that came out decent was the pedicure. In short, I won't be coming here again.
