I was very excited to try SNS powder for the first time, being a long time gel wearer. I chose Lana's because of the proximity to my house and the star rating on Yelp. Unfortunately, I will not be back to this nail salon. I will start with the positives:
Pro: The salon is clean and the staff was very friendly. The nail tech that was to be working on me was running late (I had made a 5pm appt), so another tech came over and started removing my gel polish. I appreciated this. When my tech finally made it over to me (around 5:30), she was apologetic for being late.
Con: As I already mentioned, they started me late. But the timing only got worse from there. Now, this was my first time doing SNS, but a friend of mine who turned me on to it said it only takes her gal about 30 minutes. My service took an hour and fifty minutes. Yes- 1:50! I was starting to wonder if it would ever be over. They were starting to close shop around me. On top of that, the tech messed up on one of my nails and had to add two more coats of powder, making it thicker and darker than the rest of my nails. That's the kind of thing that'll drive me nuts until I get this stuff off. But because it had been almost two hours and I needed to get home to my family, I didn't ask her to redo it.
All in all I can't say I'll be back to Lana's- wish my first SNS experience was better because people rave about it.
