| - You'll see more Hermes bags, flashy Rolexes, and giant glittering diamonds here on a Saturday afternoon than you may see in an entire weekend at the Chateau Marmont. Don't let the flashing jewels fool you: this place is just another run-of-the-mill Vietnamese salon, with young girls gossiping away in another language, lone hovering overseeing male figure (i.e., "the pimp"), dirty instruments, and all.
I came in with moderately grown out nails and one broken short nail, and wanted them all cut down to match the stumpy one. The answer I got? "Long nail pretty." No, really, I want them shorter. "Long nail pretty!" and so I got 9 long, ghetto-square nails and one short rounded nail. Shock of shocks, two of the long square ones chipped within 24 hours.
Even though this salon offers an array of 2-week gel polishes (Gelish and CNS Shellac), I doubt I'll be back. What's the point of paying $12+tip for a mani if you have to redo it yourself the following night?
