Chic Nail - Galveston (TX)

1 /5 Mock Denise (PINK): Update: My thumb is starting to chip off. Ugh was afraid of this. Definitely needed more curing time under the light. Extremely disappointing after dropping ~$150 for them to obviously not last 2 full days. Not the greatest experience but not the worst. I came in from out of town yesterday and did not have an appointment, called in 5min prior & they welcomed me. The atmosphere was somewhat friendly but overall extremely rushed. The guy doing my nails did a decent job not showing his impatience to me picking out my nail color. (What can I say- let your clients choose b/f getting them sat down & this wouldn’t be a problem) He was a bit rougher than I like catching me a few times with the removal tool, and ultimately my nails came out uneven/crooked in spots & idk what’s going on but the pink has some weird purple water type marks that are coming through today. I’m assuming b/c he was rushing the coats didn’t dry completely. I didn’t like the fact he kept getting onto the pedi lady & turning off my massage chair. The mani could have waited IMO. It made for a miserable experience having to constantly stretch my arm over to him. I ended up trying to juggle the basket of colors on my lap with one hand- knocked over the light, struggled to find a color. Then ultimately once I did they accidentally lost track of it & almost gave me the wrong pink lol Now- The lady doing my toes did EXCELLENT. She verified & actually got the water temp accurate, did a decent job on the service, the paint looks beautiful- same pink- no weird water marks. My only complaint would be the massage portion. She was a bit rough on pulling/popping toes and did it multiple times vs a relaxing massage- however I blame that on the dude getting into her to keep me still. Pricing was about average, noticed the add ons (paraffin wax, shellac, etc) were a bit gaugy but that’s pretty typical nowadays. Ultimately I’d prolly revisit again & request different mani tech to do my hands & have it done completely separate from the pedicure chair.

1 /5 Sara Willett: Worst nail had in my entire life. First she cut my nails at a diagonal - until she cut and they bled. Then I took the clipper to straighten it - she cut me numerous time. And their is nail polish all over my skin and she couldn’t clean up. AWFUL! Never ever ever again. I wouldn’t send my worst enemy here…if I could post less then one star I would.

1 /5 Alexus Marie: Honestly, I’m not one to leave a bad review. But me and my sister went here because I needed a refill and she needed a full set. #1 they are SO SO rough with your nails, the establishment is not clean, and the lady I had was SO rude. I’m from a different state which is why I went here instead of my usual place, I’ve never ever broke a nail or chipped my paint. 6 days after doing my nails my paint chipped, and my sister broke a nail. The acrylic on my nail is so thin it’s ridiculous. My nail tech paused 3 times during my refill so she could do eyebrows. Definitely don’t recommend. Their shaping is horrible as well.

5 /5 Ana: Very VERY pleased with the experience and talent!! Henry did an A-maaazing job on my nails!! I showed him a picture of something I wasnt even sure could be done and he got right on it! He asked a couple of questions on color preference and even tweaked it a bit to customize it for me! For all the work he had to do he got it done in a jiffy! Thank you for everything
