| - UPDATE: I took away 2 stars because I've gotten a few SNS dip powder nails done since his set, and it's not supposed to hurt. Now I know. Causing lasting pain isn't ok.
Today I got a regular pedicure, acrylic tips and SNS nails done. My tech Richard was very nice, and was careful with tending to my tender and sensitive toes. He proclaimed several times that he wanted me to be happy with his work, so he would take his time with me. I warned him that I have thin, sensitive nails and not to file too much. While I couldn't tell at the time if he was going too far, my nails hurt now, approximately 6 hours later. Very sensitive and they feel overworked- something that hasn't happened to me with SNS in the past, only when techs have been too aggressive with scraping off old gel or SNS without the acetone fully softening it up. I very much hope the sensitivity subsided before morning.
Having said that, it was also a bit of sticker shock as I paid about double the cost that I pay in Brooklyn. People think NYC is expensive, but competition drives prices lower... and probably they pay the techs less... but wow, $25 as the lowest option for a regular polish pedicure surprised me, especially without massage or hot towels or anything.
My feet look good and hopefully the polish will last. Just might need to chill on any nail bed aggression for a while
