| - My dad is pretty cool - first thing after breakfast when he arrived this weekend was decide to hang out together - he suggested getting manicures. My mom has gotten my dad into this and he had some nice nails - they just needed a trim/file/buff. He pulled up the yelp app while I was driving - this place was close and had 4 stars from lots of reviews.
It was busy - a good sign - and it was a Saturday late morning, so the crowd was to be expected. We were both told to sign in on a clipboard. Two ladies came in after us, and did not sign in until later, but were both taken ahead of us.
Then I was called before my dad though he signed up first. The owner (a male) removed my polish and started taking calls and filling out appointments on a computer next to the table. Then he pointed at a lady and pointed to me, and she took over. A few minutes later, my dad was called to a woman to do his manicure. The manicure cost was $12 - for me that included from beginning to end, file, buff, polish...but my dad was told he could only get clipped for $12 and had to pay $5 more for a buff! He declined.
My dad started after me but was finished BEFORE my polish was on - if we had the same steps up to that point he should have still had some nice treatment. He showed me his nails - they were BUTCHERED! They were clipped crazily and jagged, not filed at ALL, and no longer nice flat and shiny like they were when he arrived. He was very upset - the lady had chopped the EDGES of his nails very deep and it was so uneven it was shocking. He talked to the owner and showed him his nails - and his "manicure" was so quick and without filing or buffing, it was crazy. He could do it better!
First, he was told to go back to his lady and she started clipping off more! He jumped up and told her to stop. The owner then spent more time with my dad than his original person, shaping and filing and buffing for no extra charge. This is why I added a star. My technician was nice and from far away my nails look fine, but there are giant bubbles in the polish on my fingers, which I never have seen, even when I do my own nails. Even though it is cheap, we felt rushed and my dad was given weird pricing and such a horrific experience that I felt so bad about the start to his trip here.
I can do my own nails better so I will not return.
UPDATE: A week has gone by and I decided to remove the bubbled nail polish since I need to redo my nails. Even though it is a polish color I own and I did not do gel nails, the topcoat on me will not allow me to remove the polish with nail polish remover after a lot of work and remover used...beware!
