This is my second time getting a gel mani at MOD Nails. I wasn't a huge fan of my last go-round...my whole appointment just felt rushed (I had the male technician.) But, for a last minute walk-in on a Sunday night, MOD was one of the only open locations nearby.
TIP: MOD Nails will tell you that their gel manicure is $30. But, if you hate spending $30 on gel like I do, they do have a small wheel of $25 color you can choose from.
ASK. FOR. DAISY. The male nail tech took a woman who came in about 10 minutes after I started my appointment and she had already paid and was driving away by the time I was finished with mine. Those extra 10-15 minutes? To me, that's the difference to detail.
One turnoff was that the salon owner cut the music at about 4:20pm. The salon didn't officially close until 5pm, and it was kinda awkward to sit in relative silence for 30 minutes while she was on her hands and needs cleaning the floorboards and doing the laundry around us. However, I can't fault them for wanting to get out on time or keeping their location clean.
I'll keep you posted on how this polish lasts at the end of two weeks, but Daisy did a great job shaping my nails, cleaning up my cuticles and carefully applying the polish all the way down to the nail bed and to each nail edge...and the hand massage at the end wasn't bad either!
