I'm a Cosmetologist who had the brilliant idea of doing her own acrylic nails. Why I thought I'd be able to do them beautifully when I hadn't done nails since cosmo school, is beyond me, but I was up for the challenge, I guess?
Well, it turned out (you guessed it) to be a complete disaster. I did them Wednesday night and Thursday morning wanted them off. I was pressed for time because of work and b/c of leaving for San Diego today (Friday).
The owner and his wife were more than accommodating. He pushed back his gym session Thursday evening b/c he knew this was a 'nail emergency' and his wife took over to do the nail art design. I had a picture from Pinterest that I showed them and they matched it as closely as possible, and it turned out very nice. I posted a picture (mine is the blue, gold glitter, and peacock feather).
They were all very friendly and welcoming and you can tell they really enjoy doing nails-it shows in their work and what perfectionists they are.
I asked how long they'd been there and he said since 2000 which was really surprising to me because the place is so clean it looks like they just opened.
So, as a nail salon it really doesn't get much better than this. They've won me over which really doesn't happen often since they're pretty much on every corner.
Had to spread the word.
