As a girl on a budget I like to spruce myself once a month with a gel manicure. Nothing to fancy just an easy way to do a little extra without spending $100.
I elected this place because it was open later during the week which was nice. However I should have known from the get to something was no quite right about the establishment. The place was very hot inside, and a few of the other customers mentioned it too but this place is to cheap to turn on the AC
I walked in and asked if they had room for a gel mani today and how much it cost. It was $35 however the man said he would knock off $5 since it was my first time. (Also $35 is more than I normally pay, in vegas you can easily find it for $25) I sit down and he looks at my nails and goes oh you have old polish on them, taking that off is going to be $5 more. I was stunned by this, never have I had a place charge me to remove old polish. None the less he's already started so I guess I'm stuck paying for it now.
As I'm sitting letting the acetone sing int o remove the old polish.
The guy leaves to help a walk-in who wants a fill....and he never comes back. Eventually a woman has me move to another chair so she can do my nails instead. While removing the old gel polish she managed to cut one of my fingers.
This woman seemed nice, but spent the entire service trying to sell me other things. Like adding glitter which I'm sure they would have charged me through the roof for, or adding a pedicure too, she even made a comment about my eyebrows hoping I would add a wax service. Rude!
When it was finally all done, they usually give you a small hand massage, in this case she basically just dumped some aloe-vera on me and made a sad effort for rub it in then handed me a paper towel to wipe off the excess.
The only reason I even bothered with two stars is that my nails are shaped well and the color came out nicely (although a bit lumpy)
None the less I am not going to pay $35 just to be sold stuff for an hour. Thanks but no thanks.
