I loved the idea of getting my nails done whilst having a glass of wine. I work very long hours in a high stress job so relax time is important. And how awesome that I can do so whilst refreshing my nails-10 perfect nails and toes are one of those things that makes a girl feel great.
I scheduled an appt with a girlfriend so we could catch up. We were greeted very nicely and provided our wine right away. We were quickly shown to our pedi chairs and treated to a very nice pedicure. I was then moved to the nail bar for my gel French manicure. I received an amazing neck and shoulder massage from Mary (?) for $1 minute (nice!). Unfortunately, my nails were so bad. I couldn't believe when she started wiping them because the white was not even filled in. Not only did they look terrible, they felt grainy. I didn't realize anything of this until I was walking to my car. I felt stupid for not going right back to let them know. The next day I called and talked to the manager and she said to come in at 4. My nails were redone and looked at little better but they were still sub-par. That would have been okay if the manager or the new tech had apologized for my inconvenience of having to drive back for a redo. Instead, the new tech gave me a hard time about being late (tho I had called to let them know I was running 10 minutes late and the manager said it was okay). No amount of wine is worth bad nails and bad attitude. Too bad because this is a woman-owned business I would like to support. But I like my 10 perfect nails and toes more.
