I got a mani-pedi last Wednesday, right before Thanksgiving. Today, the Monday after, my gel/shellac nails are completely chipped/peeled off! I paid extra for the gel/shellac on my fingers and usually have them last about a month at other salons I've been at - less than a week is totally unacceptable! The mani-pedi cost me $55.00 and I gave the technician a $15.00 tip because he appeared to have done a good job on the polish - clean and no smudges using candy apple red polish, however it was $70.00 wasted!
I agree that the chairs are horrible and I also turned mine off because it was tossing me around like a rag doll. The technician couldn't understand what I was asking when I asked him how to turn it down.
