1 /5 Holly Smith: Acrylic Nails popping off after 5 days.
I have photos with time/date details of when taken, but they refuse to re-do for free since I work out of state and cannot get back right away. She said they only gaurantee the work for 48 hours.
I chose Kim Nails because of some positive reviews that I read here. Also people said that they had good prices. Unfortunately my experience was not as good. I called first to check on prices, they said Fill and gel is $30. But first he said $40, then changed to $35 as I did not understand how it went up $10 from the quote. Then he reminded me that he put 2 tips on my nails, I said "Oh yea- that is right, but not $10." So I agreed to pay $35. $2.50 per nail tip is too much, but whatever. I still tipped the guy $6.00. BUT the worst part of my experience is that my acrylic nails are coming off! FIVE days after I got them done, the pinky nail just popped off as I was adjusting my belt! There was not any hard pressure on my nails that wouldve made that happen. That happened on a Saturday night after the nail place would be closed, so I couldnt call them, AND Im a Flight Attendant - so I wasnt even in Texas and could not go back any time soon. The next morning ANOTHER nail came off! This time it was the Index finger. So now Im trying to work flights looking unprofessional with bandaids on my fingers. It has only been one week and a couple of days ago I thought it looks like several other nails might end up coming off. There is a bit of space between the acrylic and my nails.
So I called Kim Nails to explain the problem. I also told the lady on the phone that Ive been getting my nails done for over 10 years and I have never had a problem like this before. Sometimes I can go for 4 weeks without any nails coming off, in fact its pretty common. Unfortunately I do not get to a nail salon every 2 weeks, sometimes its 3 weeks and occasionly 4 weeks. My acrylic nails do not just pop off after 5 days. They may start getting loose AFTER 3 weeks. Ive been in customer service for over 35 years, if this happened to one of my customers I would be embarrassed and I would re-do the set for free.
