| - My daughter wanted to get a manicure for a special upcoming photo event this Friday. We yelped a few places and were near the area of Fusion- when we decided to stop in.
Seems the average star is 3 & we have to agree.
We were matched up with Anna. We picked out a color from the gel line. When she started in (soaking my daughters hands in water) she said " we have this new gel, it generally $35, but for your daughter we do $30". I didn't know what line she was talking about and she pointed to the window as advertised. Not very well explained however it's the " newest form of gel nails" in finer terms ; Its called SNS gels for nails. Formulated to support and enhance the SNS dipping powder system. There are eight "specific use" gels--each fortified with Calcium and Vitamin E, along with Vitamin A, D3 . My daughter had heard of it and thought $30 was fair. I'm thinking not for a simple teens manicure, I thought it was pretty pricey!
The nail tech was questioning me while she was servicing my daughter: as to where I get my nails done, looking at them and asking why I go there?! I didn't care for that abruptness.
The process to this system is pretty quick, clear gel, dipped twice into the glitter power & then set. Supposedly, these last longer than the competitors brands, have the vitamin benefits, so " we shall see" how they stand up! It's guaranteed to last up to 3 weeks.
My daughter was happy with the results. The experience to me was a little up sell mixed with a little judgement. I don't think we will be back.
I like the place I go, it's a little further drive- but worth the effort for fills every 4 weeks, not a high pressure sales feel and pleasant atmosphere.
