1 /5 Tere Andal: The lady that did my nails complimented me and didn’t hurt me with the drill.
That being said, she hand filed my set in a strange way. My thumb she filed so far on the right that the nail looks like it’s a weird melting shape.
The set was built thin without an apex so I don’t believe they will last long.
The acrylic was applied all over my cuticle and surrounding sides of my nail, then allowed to dry and drilled around the outside edge. Going home I had to pick the dry acrylic off of my skin.
After the gel polish was applied the set was drilled yet again, so the sides of the nails looks sloppy and uncovered.
The drill bits weren’t sanitized between services and I should have walked out then.
Whatever is in the acrylic made my nail beds burn and I had to blow on my fingers
As the service was ending, the tech started asking me to tip them in cash. I said 3 times I did not have cash, and they said well next time bring cash.
At the till, they kept asking for my card. I was using Apple Pay and 3 workers had to figure it out. They kept asking for my psychical card and I refused to give it. It just felt off.
While the 3 workers were trying to figure out how to work the machine the nail tech that did my service repeated a good 5 times, “You tip me, ok?!”
I’m not one to hold back tip even if the product or services rendered aren’t up to standard, although I resented giving the tip at all due to being badgered and this set being so gross I’ll be having them removed as soon as I return home.
I was soft charged twice for the service, so hopefully only one goes through or I will have to contest it with visa. Definitely not worth the $122 CAD, but I was desperate to have my nails done for an event that same evening.
