| - I was referred here by a friend so of course I had to check it out.
Been here already 2 times. First time I tried their shellac manicure and second time I decided to try something new for myself which was the gel manicure. I've always had shellac done but heard good things about gel too especially better durability. So, why not give it a shot? Both visits turned out well especially the second one!
My first time going there, it wasn't too busy (maybe 3-4 customers) and I went with a friend. The ladies who helped us were awesome! They were sweet and sociable. Their work was fast, clean and accurate. As fast as they were, they were also detail-oriented and made sure things were done to our liking. Whether it was checking to see if we liked the way they shaped our nails, if anything hurt us while they were doing their job or if we liked the colour we chose. What was also nice is that they gave us a quick shoulder massage as a short intermission before putting on the colour! I definitely needed one :P (as usual lol) The only thing that kind of bothered me was that the bottle of colour I chose was low and the polish was getting clumpy. If you saw that it was getting clumpy, wouldn't you think of replacing it with a new bottle instead of giving that to the customers to put on? I ended up having to do 4-5 layers since there were streaks on the first few layers too...HOWEVER, the final result wasn't too bad and my nails didn't feel like bricks with the extra layers so it turned out ok.
Now, seeing a few of the reviews here about the gel nails, I was a little hesitant but went a second time anyway. I got nothing to lose and if it didn't turn out well, I could always grow out my nails or tell them to take it off right away. This time, Cara helped me and I had an AWESOME experience with her! Went through the same process as my first visit, took a little longer than expected but it was ok. It was also a bit busier with most pedi chairs taken and a couple mani tables being used. Cara was fast but very careful. If she didn't like something, she would show and tell me and if I agreed then she would take it off or re-do it. She did a fantastic job and made my nails look SO pretty! The final result was perfect and I was SUPER happy with it!
Overall, since I came here twice to try different things with decent to good experiences, I will definitely return again to try out other colours and nail designs. All in gel though because I am officially in LOVE with them! I would definitely recommend others to try out this place if they want good service with people that CARE about what they do and CARE about what you want.
