OK so I should start off by saying I am a hair stylist/ business owner for past 12 years. With that being said I am very aware of proper state board sanitation regulations. I feel first impressions for vital. Darling Nails took this to a whole new level.
I was able to get right in on a weekday for a gel manicure. The price was very comparable to walk in nail salons in the area. I honestly should have walked out after noticing on both walls cob webs hanging at my eye level. I was so shocked and even said to the gal doing my nails" you have cob webs all over your walls" she said she knew and pointed at the owner suggesting he was responsible for the cleaning. The rest of the salon was very dirty, black streaks on the back door by the restrooms, dust all of the nail techs station and tools. The gel heat curer was so dirty I was amazed she felt comfortable having me put my hands in them. I suggested to her that she really needs to clean them and she said it was from the gel. I have never seen a nail curer have dirt and debris from the gel polish except for the color staining the outside of machine. The salon was empty except me and I now understand why that may be.
As far as the nails I was glad they were done but will not support the salon again.
