Nail Expressions

This used to be an okay place until today. Got a simple refill and the girl destroyed my nails. They are rough and crooked now and she added something to the nail polish from another bottle halfway through… Now there’s weird bubbles under the topcoat. I put them through three dryer cycles and they are still smudged. I was also overcharged for no reason… $ 19 instead of $ 17. Wtf? I’m so irritated.

Will never go here again. About every two weeks I love to get a gel manicure, they last forever! The manicure I had was about two weeks old, the lady was very rude after she was unable to remove the gel polish quickly, she took out the drill tool and started to grind off the polish! I told her «No, I do not want that used on my nails, it does not have to be done that way, soak them off please» From then on she was very unprofessional and snarky. She spoke in her native tongue to all the other ladies present the entire time I was there making disgusted faces. I also got a pedicure which was not much to talk about… do not waste your time and money here.

Love this place! The ladies are fabulous and always do a wonderful job on my nails.

A girlfriend and I stopped here on a whim for pedicures yesterday. The place was completely dead (should have taken that as a hint) so we were seated immediately. It started out awkward — my friend’s water was scorching hot (she couldn’t even put her feet in it), and then too cold. The women scrubbing our feet seemed annoyed about the water temperature requests and were curt the rest of the visit. The scrub brush they used was very painful — it felt like a brillo pad. My foot rub was no rub… it was more of a flat-​handed up down, up down, ok, that’s it. Once we were finished, we asked if they offer shoulder massages while we dry? No. Can we add a tip to our credit card? No, only cash tips (so they can claim less and avoid paying taxes).
I paid the $ 25 for the pedi on my card and handed them a ten and asked for change. She brought back two fives. I handed her the five and asked for ones (I was planning on giving her a $ 6 tip — I’m a former bartender so I know tips are important). I couldn’t believe it when she swiped my five, snippily said «thank you» and turned and walked away. She had no intention of giving me change and completely ignored my request. Alrighty then. I’m low maintenance when it comes to pedicures, but seriously?
The lesson here? You get what you pay for. I will not be returning — especially when there’s a wonderful salon called Charming Nails three blocks away.
Ladies, save your feet and your sanity for another salon (like Charming Nails).

Great place. Fabulous service. Reasonable prices. They always do whatever they can to pamper their customers and make them comfortable. I have acrylic and I’m very picky about the length and the way the sides get filed. I have my nails done by MY, and she does a great job. Pedicures and waxing are above par too. Excellent selection of OPI and Essie, and they always have the latest OPI special collection displayed at the front desk. And their driers actually dry your polish, not just blow air around them. Bonus points for a clean bathroom (that you don’t have to walk through a dark back room to get to!)
