| - I've been to Presto twice. First time I went with a friend for a full set design with gel. The woman who quoted service first started it would be $55 dollars, after I asked three times, "Just like the picture, right?"showing a picture on my phone to reference back to, and she confirmed, "Yes, 55 dollars." I wanted to make sure, because the design was simple, but was on every nail. After the technician did my ring fingers with the design, she started putting the polishes away. I was confused by this so I referenced back to the picture, and said I wanted all the nails with the design (four dots to every nail), and she called her pricer over to tell me it would be five more dollars. I said okay, and the technician finished a little sloppy, with smaller/bigger dots. I paid and left, and gave a five dollar tip. I noticed the base of the nail was thick with acrylic, and not smoothly finished. I had to go back soon for a fill because the growth looked extremely unnatural.
I went back tonight for a fill with gel polish and a design. I was sat with a new tech. He was very nice and detailed. He told me it was his third day. Gel well done, with a double coat and filed perfectly. I know these will last me awhile. After he finished I was moved to another area for the design, the lady (pricer) wasn't able to do a mustache tip, so she wiped it off and had me move again to another tech who was having a hard time. She got it done in an hour, and it looked nice, but she seemed a bit annoyed that I had them re-do a couple sloppy ones. I figured the place charges enough to get the job done right. I was extremely happy with the end result, but before paying, the pricer told me it would be 2 extra dollars because she didn't realize it was a mustache, and not a bow tie. I responded with, "Seriously?" and she said, "Okay, no worries. I'll charge you the first price." I thought that was a little tacky to add on two dollars. I gave a ten dollar tip, making the total 52 dollars. Gel well done. I will come back to see the new tech who did my fills and gel, but am not sure this is the place for a design, if you want it done right.
