I get my nails done regularly - every 3 weeks on average. I look for a good mani/pedi but also need nail art. I typically visit Polish'd Nail Bar or Tips Nail Bar, but this place is very close to where I live and I figure I'd try it since the prices are much lower.
1. customer service and experience - not the strongest point. there is a moderate language barrier so sometimes you have to point at her pricelist. The owner and other techs kept yapping away with each other in Mandarin - I haaate that because it makes me tense not relaxed. nail art prices are per finger, but it seems that the owner will change the price if she perceived an increase in difficulty.
2. no credit card machine (was broken today) and no itemized receipts available for tax purposes
3. sanitation - Im pretty sure she used USED foil papers to wrap my fingers and toes to remove my shellac (it was already wrinkled rather than reflective like a mirror). This place is not the cleanest in that regard.
4. results and value - pretty spectacular. I attached a pic - red and light blue with white and red stripes and blue heart. shellac pedi $40 single colour, uv gel mani with designs on 2 fingers $40 (35+5).
I will definitely return as long as they don't chip within at least 1.5weeks.
I wrote this review in hopes that others will try it and give this lady more nail art experience for my benefit lol :)
Cheers.
