| - Review of nail salon only. This place had such great reviews I decided to take a break from my regular salon, and give it a try. The salon itself seemed nice enough, and I was glad Leticia could fit me in during my lunch break. She removed my SUPER thick gels with a file, and then applied a new coat of gel. She was efficient and polite. My gel nails ended up looking fine. The thin polish was a little streaky but still looked passable...but only for a few days. A few days later I started to develop a terrible infection in my cuticle. This has never happened to me before. The tip of my finger swelled, turned red, and was hot and painful. (WARNING THIS GETS GROSS) After several days of soaking it, cleaning it, and wrapping it with antibiotic ointment, puss finally drained out of it, relieving some of the pressure and pain. Over two months later there is still gap where it drained, like the nail has separated from the bed in that spot. It looks like the nail will look bad for a while until it has completely grown out. I am just grateful I didn't have to go on oral antibiotics to fix this. I am sure that this manicure was the source of the infection, and I won't be returning to this salon.
