| - A horrible waste of money!
I don't know what happened to this place. Its gone severely downhill to the point that I wouldn't even trust them with a pedicure! I had been going there for nearly three years, and always had perfect acrylic pink and white nails. Then I took a year off of the acrylics to give my nails a break.
I was excited to get a new set of nails at what used to be my favorite nail salon. That excitement turned to anger and disappointment before I even left the salon.
The nails were already starting to lift while my UV coat was drying. The nails were SUPER THICK - like little hooves on the end of each finger. I usually only have them done by the owner, Christine, and she knows how I like my nails to look since I went there for three years. But the next day, I was still very unsatisfied with my hooves...I mean "nails," so I returned to have her fix some of the lifting. After waiting an hour, all she did was throw another coat of top coat on my nails. I complained about the thickness, and she told me that if I wanted them thinner then I should have gotten gel nails. I still don't know why she never suggested that in the first place! I left angry and vowed to never go in there again.
A month later, they had grown out quite a bit and I decided to have them soaked off. That was when I discovered that my nail bed was very damaged from where she filed too deeply with the drill. It's going to take me another 2 months to grow that ugly ridge out. She was never that heavy-handed with the drill before, so I'm not sure what has changed with her.
The bottom line: DO NOT GO THERE. The owner has vast experience and skill, but she has become very lazy and complacent. The work isn't good anymore, and she doesn't seem to care.
And it's too bad, because I used to rave about her work. Now I'm sitting here typing a review with ugly, stubby fingernails. If they keep up that kind or service, I give them 6 months, tops.
