| - I've been to Debon several times because it's convenient. The quality depends on which technician I end up with; some are much better than others. Two recent experiences, however, have convinced me that I won't go back.
First, about two months ago, while getting my regular pedicure, I asked about having my fingernails done. I just wanted a basic manicure with clear polish; nothing fancy. When all was said and done (and I wasn't really grasping what the technician was saying), I had a gel manicure; it looked great for about two weeks. Then, it started to grow out. I couldn't get it off my nails, and over the next few weeks, my fingernails looked worse and worse. They started to chip, and the gel started to peel away. It was awful. A technician friend advised filing it off, as there is nothing that will take the gel off. Ugh.
More recently, I took my daughter for a pedicure. It was a busy, pre-holiday day, lots of women getting their nails done. We opted for the special pedicure; usually when she's with me, she gets the leg massage, the heat wrap, and her toenails done. However, her technical spent all of five minutes with her; clipped her nails, painted them, and then had her go sit down. It took me another half hour to finish. Not only did my daughter get cheated out of a decent holiday pedicure, but we were charged a full $20 to get some color slapped on her toes.
Convenient it may be for us to frequent Debon, but it won't be happening anymore.
