Okay the good and the bad. (And. Why even with some bad they're worth 4.5/5 stars)
First off. My nails look good now. Hadn't had them done in two months (I get them done religiously).
The good
1. They close at 7. I called at 6:08 and was 2 minutes away and they were still willing to take me. I left at 7:10. They didn't rush through the process.
2. He did an amazing job shaping them (coffin shape), cleaning up my cuticles etc.
The bad
1. It cost me 70 before tip!! As we were going I wasn't asking how much things were costing. But he must have charged to shape them, more to clean up my cuticles. More for gel polish ($10 extra). It's really outrageous. But they look good i won't complain too much but for 70 I expect them to be perfect and they're not. So just tip ask how much everything is before you agree.
2. My other issue is that I kept saying I didn't want gel polish and I realize it's his job to upswell me but I told him I wasn't sure I would like the gel matte and I don't. I'm really unhappy with the "matte" look. I know I would have loved it with the regular color cause I do it all the time.
My nails don't look 'bad' it's just not the look I was going for and if he would have let it go and not worn me down about doing gel, I would have been completely happy but he convinced me gel was better.
