| - I really needed to get my nails done and after not having much luck at the place I tried the prior time, I went in search for a new nail salon to try. I have heard of The Nail Lounge so I thought I would give them a shot. I called earlier in the day and made an appointment for 5:30 and informed the gentleman that I wanted an ombre fill. Here are the pros and cons about my experience:
Pros:
1. The salon is absolutely gorgeous and so clean!!!!
2. Super friendly staff. The owner, Ben, greeted me and sat down with me to look at my nails. Granted, my nails were in bad shape, so he let me know that I would need a whole new set and it would take around an hour and a half. To save time, instead of having me sit there and soak my nails to get the old acrylic off, he sat and started working on chipping away the acrylic (they were in really bad shape).
3. My tech, Tim, was beyond friendly. Even when we had miscommunication on the shape, he was very patient and even started fresh on a few of my nails with putting new tips on.
4. Time did an ombre dip, which I have never done before. I will say, my nails feel SOOOOO amazing and they look completely natural! I am totally hooked getting dips instead of acrylic. Yes, its $10 more, but its WELL WORTH IT!!
The cons:
1. There is a big sign above the entry way door that says they offer complimentary wine, but I was never offered a glass which was disappointing because I was there for 2 hours. I did get offered a glass of water, but that was over an hour in.
2. I am a huge fan of the ombre, but I don't think I will be doing an ombre with dipping. The process is way too long and I am not a huge fan of the speckled look. I like more of a natural look with color and the pink is too pink for me.
I will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend Tim!
