I have been to this place for a shellac polish 4-5 times.
its $20 without the manicure.... I am an aesthetician so i do the manicure myself prior to the treatment, but i dont own the correct polishes or lights for shellac so I pay to get that done.
the second star i only gave them because they are cheap
i was never majorly impressed, there was always a few problems with the result, but it was things i could fix myself. like the edges near my cuticles would be a bit messy, but i could file them into neat curve shapes. My nails would be filed wonky but I could correct that.
but then the more times i returned the worse it seem to get.
They didnt use a base coat with one colour i requested, so i asked about it and she said that with this brand it wasnt necassary. Which may be true... but I've never heard of doing that.... also the colour chipped away much quicker than usual... maybe in 4-5 days i started noticing bits flicking off.
They take so long painting all the nails on each hand, by the time they put your hand under the light all the polish has spread down to the sides of my nails, leaving the edges with a thick, misshapen, chunky layer on. Which makes your nails look horribly curved and makes the polish not last as long.
I will not be returning any longer.
I actually got a better service at George Brown college spa.... n these guys are training.
