| - Okay, I really tried to love this place. It's clean, professional, and did a much better job than most other places I've been to. But in my opinion, it's way too expensive for what it is.
I decided to come to NStyle after reading the great reviews, and booked an appointment for a Shellac manicure. When the day came, I arrived about 5 minutes early, picked a colour, and off we went.
The woman who did my nails wasn't very talkative, but she seemed nice enough. Plus, she did an awesome job shaping my nails. Most places just kind of file down, but she took her time to actually file my nails into a shape, and they came out gorgeous. A+ on that. The rest of the manicure, though, was your average, run-of-the-mill process.
But in general, I don't have any complaints regarding how my nails came out. It's been about 1-2 weeks and my nails are still as shiny as when I walked out of the salon. For some reason, whenever I get Shellac nails, they go form 'wow!' to 'meh' pretty quickly. This hasn't happened.
My main gripes are with the service. First of all, the woman who did my manicure took a few chunks of skin out when she was fixing up my cuticles. I'm honestly used to this happening, so it didn't matter much to me at the time. But after about a week, my fingers were still sore and bleeding. It's collateral damage when you're doing a manicure, fine - but to an extent.
Second, they didn't do much to make me feel special. Not upset about that in and of itself, but combined with the quality of the manicure (NOT how my nails turned out) and the price, it kind of made an experience that could have been awesome turn out to be just average.
Not sure if I'd go back. I would have liked more pizazz for what I paid for, but the place is clean and my nails came out great.
