| - This place is not consistent.
The first 3 times I went, I had an amazing experience. The service was top notch - quick and friendly. My gel manicure lasted ages and I thought my search for a fantastic nail salon had finally ended. Oh how I was wrong....
The first strike was when I went in for a last minute pedicure, the woman I had was extremely ill. Yes she was wearing gloves and a mask, but she kept sneezing and wiping her nose with this old tissue and then touching my feet. It was disgusting and she gave me a very sub par pedicure. I was massively grossed out, and didn't return for a few months. But I figured that every place has an off day once in awhile and it's not the salons fault an employee was sick and didn't stay home.
The second strike was last week. I had a business trip and procrastinated getting my nails done until a few hours before my flight. I called and they said they could take me right away. I go in and they start on my pedicure, everything was going ok (and it's the previous lady who was sick so I was a bit weary at first) and generally speaking the pedicure was fine. The massage wasn't anything to write home about (but are they ever at nail salons?). The final product was a little meh, but ok.
The third (and final) strike that will have me never returning to this salon, was during my manicure. I rarely get acrylics - maybe 4 times a year, but I used to get them fairly regular when I was younger, so I am familiar with the process. The man who did my nails was simply terrible. My nails are uneven, painted poorly, misshapen, and already chipping off (4 days later). I knew while he was doing it, that this wasn't going to end well, and I voiced my growing anxiety to him, which I think made it worse not better. I didn't have time to soak the nails off and find another nail salon in time for my flight, so I braved a conference with very unprofessional nails.
My search for a nail salon continues.
