Unfortunately while my experience at the salon was great, the aftermath has been sub-par.
I enjoyed how big the salon was and how many pedicure and manicure chairs they had available; usually places are much smaller and you're left waiting for an available person. This was not the case here. Myself and my mom were immediately sat down for pedicures and then promptly given our manicures.
That being said, I had a gel manicure done and the results are not great. Arriving home that day one of my fingers smudged while I was fixing lunch, over an hour since I had them done. The next couple days a few more were chipping. And now I have one that has come clean off my finger.
I don't have a rigorous job that uses my hands that could ruin them this quickly; the job done was poor and it shows. I paid a lot of money for the "no-chip" manicure that lasts for two weeks. Unfortunately I did not receive that this time and I am not happy about it.
I live out of town (my parents live in Champaign), but I can say I won't be coming back to this salon when I'm visiting.
