I also live in the neighbourhood and with them being so close I frequent them quite often. First thing is first. Everyone I know and myself included HATE the owner. I think her name is lily. I think she only works there a few days a week and I try to avoid those days. Lol. I know it's common at nail salons for them to up sale. But the owner here is always trying to pressure me and up sale me. Even going as far as to ask why I don't want to after I've said no a few times. So one star off for that unprofessional behaviour. Another star off because she's done my nails and has made me wait while she goes and waxes other people. HELLO. FINISH MY NAILS IF YOUVE STARTED ALREADY. And word of advice, don't be shy about expressing your feelings to her. I told her how I felt and she's never done it again. Another time I came in for a manicure with shellac and she told me to pick a colour. After 20 mins of waiting someone came to do my nails. I'm fine that I had to wait because I was a walk in. At least tell me there's a wait of 20 mins. Don't tell me to "pick a colour" and make me wait curious if I'll be serviced in 5 or 20 mins later. That's like a pet peeve for me so I told her she's needs to do a better job at managing the appointments and walk ins. Anyways. That's the bad so far.
On to the good.
Aside from the owner the other girls as pretty good. They are nice and friendly. Most of them are limited in English but I seem to get the message across when I want my nails short and square. There's one girl there that's fluent in English and is really good but I don't know what her name is, she's always busy. I think they take turns so everytime I go in I get someone different. I've seen people request certain girls so maybe I'll try that next time.
They have a lot of shellac colours and regular colours. I haven't had fake nails done there so I can't review them on that. But they seem to do a good job. My shellac last more than a week for me which is pretty good since I've been told I have oily nail beds. I've over heard some girls saying their shellac last two weeks. So I'm hoping one day my nails will last that long too. But I highly doubt that. Hahaha.
They also seem pretty clean. I've been the last client (I felt bad since I had to make the girl stay 30 mins after close) before closing and I've seen the girls start sweeping and mopping and wiping everything done. So I haven't had any problems with fungus or infection. Plus it gives me some security that they have that green pass certificate in the window.
Anyways sorry for the long review. I hope it helps other girls wanting to try this place.
