Suzy hooked it up! It's unfortunate that I didn't find her sooner. I rolled the dice and got "almond shaped" nails after always traditionally sticking with "square tip." Asked her to not scare me off with it. I also got pink acrylic for the first time and told her to not scare me off with that as well. I've seem wayyyy too many pink nail beds and it's tacky!
All in all, good convo, she knows what she's doing and has owned salons in LA.
I got a scalloped French and she couldn't have a steadier hand. Average pricing. $40 for a full set, gel, French tip, and pink acrylic.
