| - I went to this salon because my regular place did not have any openings and some ladies i work with suggested it. I called them to ask if they did Gellish Polygel Manicures. They told me yes. I was ELATED.
I was a walk in, the gentleman that would be doing my nails asked what was one them I told him gellish polygel, he told me that it didn't exist and that's not what was on my nails. He filed all my polish away as I was standing there checking in, and said "no. we don't do this. this is bad." he talked me into getting Dip Powder. I'm new to nails so I agreed. My nails looked great, they felt super strong and he went all the way to the edges with polish (a lot of nail techs don't do this for WHATEVER reason).
When I returned for a second time, I felt like I was an inconvenience to the staff as a walk in. They took me right away, the girl that did my nails mentioned to another customer that they had 2 people missing and were short staffed. She was doing 2 womens pedicures, another womans nails, and removing tips all WHILE she was doing mine. She filed too deep and caused a big divet in my nail and cut my cuticles all very short, one bled. Props to her for being able to do 100 things at once but it really made me uncomfortable, I felt like I wasn't important at all and that she didn't really care about whether or not my nails looked good or were healthy. When I told her I wanted an almond shape she made them very oval, I told her I wanted it pointier like almonds (almonds have round bottom and pointy top) she rolled her eyes, grabbed my hand and filed my nails to a VERY sharp point. Then before she finished my manicure she asked for me to pay. That's fine, I didn't mind much but I just felt like I was being rushed out of the door.
I ended up breaking a nail pretty badly in NYC and I waited for it to grow out. I will be returning to my regular salon, I don't think dip powder and this style of nail place is what I'm looking for.
They do a pretty decent job, though I'd like more nail color options.
