| - I had just moved to Charlotte and needed to find a place to take off my shellac and pamper myself with a pedicure.
I saw a special for mani and pedi for $35 and thought, okay. Boy, was I in for a disappointment! The person who attended me was older.... And I just had an inkling that I would not get a good mani/pedi.
First, she did my toe nails, which was not so bad (from where I was sitting). I didn't know I had to bring my own set of supplies, which she charged me for.
I had shellac done previously and needed it removed. The lady had actually used a rough nail filer to rid of the shellac, and it was painful :( ! I was kind enough to tell her that my friend had told me a remedy to remove it with cotton ball soaked in acetone and wrapped with foil paper (and mind you, I spoke in my broken Vietnamese - so I KNOW she understood me). But she just nodded and proceeded to file away. I was furious inside and I was shocked she just ignored my comment.
My husband was with me and had to wait ahead of time. After my mani was filed away, she asked me promptly to pay, BEFORE I had gotten my nail polish painted on. I told her that my husband will pay for it and he waited until I was done. I thought to myself, how.... weird and rude.
So after I had paid for our services, I came home to find what I had been preparing myself for. The elder lady did a terrible job on my nails. There were spaces between the cuticle and nail polish on both feet and hands AND you could see part of the indentions in the nails that she scrubbed hard on! My poor nails :( I knew my fingernails needed a long time to heal..
This happened last year, and I have been jaded in going to any nail salons, til this year. Both places have discouraged me from going to any other places.
