. "I was in the neighborhood and my fella decided to get a haircut next door. I needed to get my nails done as part of my bridesmaid's duties, so I figured why not knock out two birds with the one stone. Why oh why didn't I check reviews? \n\nOk, my bad for choosing gel polish. I knew that the nails needed to last several days, and that I wouldn't have time when I got back into San Diego, so I went with them. Weeks later and my nails still haven't recovered, even after I carefully followed the instructions on how to remove them. \n\nI would argue that what followed is a hazard of gel polish, but there are things they could have done to improve the situation. My polish started peeling off at the tips, (thank goodness waiting the whole 3 days I needed it for) snagging up my carefully grown nails right before my own wedding. I don't know why they didn't seal the tips, but they didn't and they started peeling from there down. I immediately tried to remove them, but it was too late, my nails started ripping off, sometimes below the quick. \n\nOkay, gel polish. Fail. But one of my pet peeves is when people are over aggressive about cuticle trimming, and not only do I have some rough patches on my fingertips from the process, she managed to slice open my finger something fierce. \n\nFinally, my wedding ring is an heirloom. Don't ask me to just set it on a table so you can lotion up my hands. Work around the damn thing if you have to, I don't feel comfortable removing it, especially in an unknown place. \n\nI was willing to ignore a few hiccups. The gal was actually really nice, which is better than many places I've been too. But it's been over a month and my nails still are showing the damage and my fingertips are all rough and I just wish I'd waited and gone to Trany's in San Diego rather than chose this place out of convenience."^^ . .
