| - So, I paid $85 after tax and gratuity to have a full set of biogel done (+$15 extra for the white airbrushed tips). I was mentally prepared to spend more considering I'm familiar with yorkville being $$$.
When I came in, I told my nail tech that I normally get shellac done because I don't like my nails too thick. He acknowledged what I said and started buffing down my nails. It didn't hit me that he thinned out my natural nails too much until after he applied the biogel and had me put my fingers under the lamp to let it cure. Now I feel like I have pretty high pain tolerance but from previous experience, I don't think my fingers nails are supposed to hurt, none the less feel like they're ON FIRE under the lamp. It was so unbearable I pulled my hand out multiple times and asked him whether it's normal, that my finger tips were felt like they were burning. He said that "it's normal" and that "the burning feeling goes away after 5 seconds.. ". That should have been a red flag for me but I didn't say anything, I sucked it up and let him carry on.
I mean, end product, my left hand's nails are unevenly set, they're extremely thick, some of the nails are shaped oddly, and it's not something I can fix because of the thickness of the gel. (I mentioned all of this before I left the nail salon, he told me that there's nothing he could do.)
Considering the price, and pain, I feel like the least he could have done was fix the shape for me.
To the man who did my nails, the airbrush tips look good but I really don't believe that burning feeling is normal. Getting your nails done should not hurt.
Anyways, would not recommend, would not go back. Very disappointed.
