Nail Tech & Spa

Went here for a manicure and gel polish. My gel polish looks like it was painted on by an elementary schooler. The gel ripples under their UV lights and there’s paint on my skin. When I asked the tech about the ripples, he said yeah that will come out then clear coated the ripples.

I got a mani-​pedi which is $ 32, not bad… It was half good and half awful and in the end, not worth it. The good was the pedi. The woman did a great job. The mani, however, was the worst I have ever gotten, including the ones I give myself at home (and I suck). Basically, I had to remove the polish the next day because it never dried properly. It was tacky and stuff kept sticking to it. I don’t know what the heck she did because the toes were done with the same polish and were absolutely fine. Also, the woman was going nuts on my hand, she ended up cutting me to the point of excessive bleeding. She somehow managed to mess up all of my cuticles on that hand so it was red and painful for about a week. After she made the one hand bleed like crazy, she slowed down on the other so I was not cut on that side. The real reason though for this bad review is that i just received my credit charge. I tipped 6 bucks, but they must have thought that wasn’t enough, because my card statement showed I was charged an extra 7. For one dollar I’m not going to dispute it… but i thought it was worth telling my story so others don’t get bad service and screwed out of any dollars. Best of luck for a better nail salon.

The woman at the desk told myself, and everyone that walked in that it would be a 10 minute wait. I waited 25 minutes. No one was served that fast.
The gentleman that was doing my nails was rushing and going incredibly fast. I obviously got cut. Then he left in the middle of my appointment to smoke a cigarette. I could smell it when he got back. And he kept checking his phone and turning around to watch TV. And after all that I absolutely hate my nails.
Needless to say I was grossed out, in pain, and irritated. They were a waste of $ 30.

These people are going to know exactly who I am when they read this review, because I was just there. I literally got in my car, drove home, took pictures, and got on my laptop to write this review.
Okay. So I wanted just a regular manicure with an Alice in Wonderland themed design. I had a photo of kind of what I wanted. I told the man (I have no idea what his name was, but he had really bad teeth [not to sound mean, that’s just what I noticed about him]). I basically wanted black tips with a white bow on one finger. I repeated that several times, because in the photo I showed him, the tips were black and white stripes. I just wanted black tips (I got black and white stripes– I guess kind of my fault for zoning out during what started out as a relaxing mani). So he’s doing my nails, and I’m not totally happy but I know that places like this are always hit or miss, and the prices seemed decent so I didn’t care that much. Once he was done, I convinced myself they looked good from far away and that’s all that matters!
I also have to mention about halfway through all this he started someone’s pedicure, and I’m pretty sure went out to smoke. I’m a very non-​confrontational person, or I would have gotten up and left right then. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he washed his hands. So while I was drying, and he had totally moved on to the girl’s pedi, he yelled at me across the room that I could go.
So I went up to the counter, and the lady tells me $ 26. I asked her to clarify. in other words, $ 12 for the crappy «art» the guy had done! The manicure itself was only $ 13, and they charge a dollar for using a card. I tried to refuse, and tried to show her the sub-​par work he had done. See for yourself in the photos I posted. She argued with me, refused to lower the price, and literally laughed at me while looking around at the other customers (trying to make them join her laughing? trying to turn me into a spectacle? I don’t know). It was humiliating and really, really awkward. I told her fine I would pay the $ 26 just so I could get out of there.
THEN, as I was leaving, and getting my keys out of my bag… my nails smudged! After he had literally yelled at me to get up! I was so flustered and irritated that I went back in. The lady started laughing again and was like «deal with him», pointing to the guy who had done my nails. I almost said forget it just to leave, but I was so upset that I had paid so much already that I just had him fix it.
This was BY FAR the worst experience at a nail salon I have ever had, and I’ve had some bad ones. Not that it really matters, given everything else, but he also yelled a lot at the other workers while he was doing my nails. Not pleasant when you’re just chilling having your nails done and all of a sudden some dude yells in your face.
Do yourself a favor and find a different place. Or don’t. I have several people who’ve had decent experiences here (including my mom), so maybe this was just a bad day. BUT… the pictures really don’t lie, so maybe stick with solid colors?

I really enjoy going to Nail Tech & Spa. They have decent customer service and you don’t have to have an appointment. I DO recommend Cindy for a mani/​pedi or Holly for a pedi. The ladies do a wonderful job and I’ve never had a bad experience for the 5 years I’ve gotten my nails done by them. They do talk a lot (in Vietnamese) to one another and some times their English is difficult to understand… but I don’t mind language barriers… they are some of the sweetest people and they do good work!
