Fresh A & T Nails

In for a pedicure out with a fungal infection! I won’t be going there again. My advice would be to pass on this place.

This used to be my go to nail salon. Everything was clean, great massage chairs and more importantly great work.
But today was my last day going there. The girl. And I mean girl. Definitely one of the workers teenage daughters did my pedicure and had no idea what she was doing. Later we found out one of their regular employees was on a week vacation. I don’t know what shady business they’re conducting but there’s no way the little girl who did my nails had a license.
Oh and more importantly. I used to be allowed to tip on my debit card but the lady eyeballed some money in my wallet and demanded a cash tip telling me the credit card companies take 30%. Are you kidding me.

So I just recently visited this salon again for a mani/​pedi and I definitely wasn’t as pleased as I have been in the past.
They started me off in the pedicure chair, which I did not like because I’d rather give my fingernails more time to drive during the pedi. I understand why they do this if you’re getting gel, but I wasn’t.
The pedicure chairs are still great and the foot massage part of the pedi was good.
They definitely didn’t buff all of the dead skin off my heels, and the water was a little cool for my liking. The polish looks great though, and overall it was a pretty good pedicure.
My manicure however, was another story. I’d only ever gotten acrylics here in the past, but I’ve been letting my nails go natural recently, so this was just a regular mani.
One of my nails had broken about 3 mm shorter than the others and I wanted all my nails down to that length, which seemed to confuse the tech (who spoke perfect English btw). I told her I wanted to keep the round shape I had, which didn’t really happen, they’re definitely more squoval now.
My cuticles were definitely not clipped enough and the polish wasn’t applied evenly on all the nails. Not to mention there is some stray polish on my cuticles.
They were really nice and friendly to me, and the salon is still very clean and bright!
Tldr: if go back for a pedicure, but not a mani.

If it was possible to give this place 0 stars I would. My friend sits down at a chair, scrubs the nail polish off (not completely) then gets told to sit and wait with no explanation. The girl doing my nails takes a Costomer who came for an appointment while other employees we’re watching tv. She sat there for 30 minutes on a time crunch. My nail lady told me to tell my friend to sit in the empty chair. Why couldn’t she tell her to? They then decided which nails to file and clip, she only did some! They didn’t compare the nails and they are all different sizes! ESPECIALLY THE PINKYS! Her nails we’re chipping before the top coat and didn’t put a top coat. While I was getting mine done she put the acrylic on in sections. And took ages to file them down. They did not ask me if I liked my color because sometimes the color looks different after applied. My nails we’re BURNING while they scratched them to put on new acrylic. I got charged 4 $ to replace a nail. The dryers sucked and we we’re there till close so they stared at us till we left. They didn’t even lotion out hands. I hate it there

DO NOT GO HERE.
I decided to try this place since it was new and I needed to do errands in the same shopping center. All of those strip mall nail salons are the same right? Nope. I stand corrected.
I got a mani/​pedi and was directed to one of the pedicure chairs first by a girl who looked about 13. She had filled it with ice cold water but I didn’t ask her to change it because I was short on time. She scrubbed my feet with a pumice stone, only she scrubbed the part that was soft and delicate (near my ankle) and not the part that was rough and had dead skin. This resulted in scabs because my skin was raw. They put lotion on my legs but not on my feet (?) and the was certainly no massage.
After the pedicure the girl put me at her manicure station and proceeded to clean the pedicure chair — while other employees lounged around watching tv. 10 minutes later, after she was done cleaning, she started my manicure. The manicure was taking forever since this girl didn’t know what she was doing, and also because she kept bbming on her pink rhinestone bedazzled blackberry, right in front of me. She didn’t even put lotion on my hands, so once again you can guess that there was no massage. I don’t care how basic your manicures are, you should at least put LOTION on the customer’s hands.
After what felt like an eternity I sat down at the drying station which had a really weak flow of air. I sat there for 15 minutes and my nails were still tacky, so I decided to just give up and leave.
I will be shocked if this place stays open for much longer with the type of service they provide.
