| - Today, I was looking at a new nail salon since Im moving on 215 and warm springs. This place was the first to pop out of Yelp. Also, my friend Lisa Z. Left this place a good review so it was time for me to check it out.
My appoint was set for 6:30 and I got there around 6:20. They accommodated me right away. Thing is, im so used to nail salons that have their gel manicure models out and so usually you just browse. Although I know what color I want my nails done, i would still like to browse cause sometimes I change my mind.
Moving on,I asked for a reg pedicure as we'll aaa gel mani. The lady who did my pedicure hurt me. You can kinda see in the photo that where my toe starts is bleeding. I let it go cause it dies happen sometimes but mail tech would apologize.
Now for my mani, i asked the lady for a matte nail polish and it doesn't seem like she's done a nail polish like that so I was being patient. I told her that i wanted my ring finger different color and she forgot and just used paper towel to get rid of the wrong color but it was bugging me cause she didnt take them out cleanly. Before 8. They turned off the tv already and started cleaning up. I mean i know theyre already one of the salons that close late but it made me feel like theyre rushing me to get out. Also,they dont use lotion to massage your forearm like any other nail salons. I was thinking that maybe because im the last client there so they just want me gone.
As i pay at the counter, the guy told me that its $70 for my gel nails and regular pedi. That rang a bell in my head cause normally its around $55-65 for something like what I got. I then went on their website to look at their prices since its not listed anywhere in the store, it says that $35 for gel mani and $25 for reg pedi. So i felt a little ripped off. For those of you who planned on purchasing the $35 for $50, the guy told me they only use that deal if you get deluxe pedi and that youre suppose to call and ask even though it doesnt say that about the deal on Yelp either way, he still honored the deal for me which was nice of him. Also, they charge $1 if you use your card.
Overall, My experience wasnt as great as others. I will forever be loyal to Nail Envy even if its a little far from me:)
