| - I don't like that the two star rating for this includes (at least in this case) "I've experienced better." Its a lie! I'd have to say the last nail salon I went to was actually worse! And I've only ever been to two places as I'm not really a fan of the filing sound-- I think its one of the worst in the world!
Anyways..
I stopped in here on Wednesday 5/19 because I had a random urge to get my nails done. I walked inside and was immediately hit by that Nail Salon smell of acetone and other strong chemicals. There were two ladies here getting their nails done and a young man waiting (I'm not sure what he had done, but he was done in under 10 minutes once they started helping him). Five minutes into my waiting, a woman and her daughter walked in to get the daughter a full set. They were told to wait and that it'd only be a short while.
One of the women helping the original two ladies was done and told me to go sit in her booth. I did some more waiting. The daughter of the woman who'd just walked in was taken by the other woman and helped before me (even though I was sititng in the booth already, I was pretty much ignored for almost another 10minutes). I was finally assisted the by the woman who's booth I was sitting at. She started filing my nails down and yet another woman walked in. This one said she wanted a full set and a pedicure, but only wanted to be helped by the woman who was working on me.
I assumed this meant she was going to have to wait just as I'd had to. Oh, nope. Some random guy in a white t-shirt came out from the back and told me he was going to take me over at another booth. I was marched over to his table and the lady who requested my nail technician was being helped now. I have to say, this man was pretty nice. HOWEVER, when I'm in a NAIL salon and getting my NAILS done to look pretty, you'd think that the person doing them would take similar care of their nails, right? Yeah, well... wrong.
His nails were longer than any I'd ever seen on a man and there was dirt underneath them. His hands were covered in paint spots as they were in the middle of repainting the place. This was totally my fault for staying since he looked like a painter, had just been painting, and his nails were awful looking. He was also very rough and three of the fingers on my left hand are cut from his filing. Also, he worked fast and some of the nails dried weird. He also tried to charge me for the coat of CLEAR nail polish he put on last. I've never been charged for it before and this wasn't going to be the first time. I just wanted out of there.
During the time I was here, there was a woman, her sister, and three kids. The kids were running around everywhere and had the people working there bumping into them every so often. This lady did nothing to discipline her monsters and even had the salon people put Pokemon on TV for them. Not just put it on, but on the highest volume. It was ridiculous.
Next time, if there is a next time.. I'm going somewhere else.
