I have had many shellac manicures & pedicures over the years and know the difference between a good nail tech who does a proper job from someone who rushes & does the very basics.
I purchased two Groupon vouchers for V-Fashion Nails (two shellac manicures and one shellac pedicure) and had the same nail tech both times (an older Asian woman who is the owner). I was disappointed with both visits and will not return to this nail spa again for two reasons. The first is the sub-average service that I received and the second is the lack of cleanliness. During both appointments I did not receive a full manicure (no time was taken to trim my cuticles or shape my nails nicely) and was alarmed at how dirty the tools and UV hand light stations were. Instead of receiving a full manicure that was included in the deal I was given a shellac color change.
The shellac pedicure was similar with little effort to remove the rough skin from my feet. The nail tech did a quick scrub with the pedi paddle and nothing more. My feet were still rough when I left and I had to finish the job myself at home -- very disappointing.
The shellac application was okay and lasted a decent amount of time for both the mani & pedi. I had designs with tiny rhinestones added to two fingers on both visits and they were average.
Tip: Go into the spa to book your appt and pick one of the younger nail techs - both girls do a much better job than the owner and take their time with your nails.
