Okay....so I spoke too soon regarding my second visit. I had my nails for two days before I chipped a nail and the gel polish started peeling off. Not just chipping. Straight up peeling! I call and speak to a lady and explain that there might be a problem with the curing process or the lamps because my nails should not be peeling after a couple days. I asked point blank if they could be fixed. She said to come in. I was not able to go in for 4 days, but when I finally go in, no one knows me, remembers my call or the nail designs they've done in the past. I mean, really? Not to seem full of myself but as a 5'10" black woman with gigantic man feet....nail techs usually remember me. So they offer to redo my nails to the tune of $20.
So I pick a completely new design and ask (since I'm paying twenty bucks and all) to have my nails cut at short as possible. The nail tech then says the my design would not be possible because I need a nail tip. Okay. I have very long nail beds. Even the shortest nails on me look long. So I pick another design. They design looked fine in the salon, but the next morning when I had time to look closer without my baby crying in the background, I see wrinkles in the polish and a chip. I'm officially done. The first person who did my nails here was great. She paid attention to detail, and worked her butt off to give me the design I wanted. The guy from the second time clearly does not know how to work with gel or replicate designs. The last lady I went to simply didn't not pay attention to detail. So I am now in the market for a new nail salon.
