I went here for a year consistently for gel manis every two weeks. A couple of months ago, I started to notice that I was getting irritation around my nails, skin was peeling and they were extremely sore, even painful and the cuticles were red and swollen. When I first pointed it out, they told me it was just dry skin. I moisturize my hands several times per day so I was doubtful.
After two more manicures and the condition worsening to the skin under the tips of my nails scabbing up and peeling, I knew something more was going on. I kept pointing this out but they kept chalking it up to dry skin. On my last visit 2 weeks ago, I got a new manicurist there and she told me I had nail fungus but then quickly didn't want to talk about it and went into the back to consult with the manager. They downplayed the entire thing and I could tell they were trying to avoid talking about it or even acknowledging that I'd gotten it there.
Now I have spoken with others who go or went there and 3 more people have also contracted it.
The salon appears clean but clearly there is something going on.
The situation will prevent me from ever returning or recommending it again.
