2 /5 Sophia E.: Me and my friend both came here today and left the nail salon feeling pretty disappointed. If you go here, I do not recommend the gentleman (around 40-50 years old) that worked on my nails. I thought he could do what I had asked him to do on my nails (circled in the inspiration picture below) but I quickly learned otherwise. I will say though, he did try his best and I am grateful for that and his patience since he was learning and all… but I do not think this work is worth $80. I’ve had way better nails done for me at EVA-Nails-Spa in Arlington highlands for only $60. (They were acrylic nails w a pinky-clear base and silver chrome tips.) I would also like to add that I don’t appreciate that my nails were not left clean and some of the nails aren’t nicely sculpted. I hope others don’t experience what I went through today. I really wish they had just given me a different and more capable nail tech instead of having to experience this uncomfortable situation. I will unfortunately not be coming back here.
Edit: To be clear, I was never upset with the length nor the color of my nails. Just with the poor quality and execution of the design I wanted and the lack of cleanliness around my nails. I can tell that some of my nails are bumpy in odd places. The shape of my nails don’t compliment my hand shape.
I told the tech since the very beginning “I want these nails” (nails meaning nail art and color) on my natural nails. I vividly remember telling the tech that while pointing to the circled nail in the top row w/ the swirl on it. Then they told me dip would make my nails stronger so I said sure.
I sat there for 1 hour patiently watching the nail tech try to put these different chrome powders on my nails without success. Then, another nail tech (thankfully) recommended the color I agreed to.
Also, I forgot to mention yesterday that they charged me $40 for dip color, which doesn’t make sense to me because I walked out of the nail salon with gel nail polish and the gentleman that did my nails shaved off half the dip product before applying the clear base, gel nail polish, chrome powder, & the nail art.
