Oh wow… I don’t know where to start sadly. Influenced by the positive reviews and beautiful display of work on Instagram, I made an appointment.. My usual person who works alone is on maternity leave. I showed my reference photos, told them I had Gel-X on, and just need a fill from 2 weeks ago & new design. From 3:30-5:00 yesterday
I was there. No fans to absorb the nail dust from the drill bit, so I had dust all in my mouth/eyes and clothes. The station was an absolute mess, but I really didn’t mind TOO much and the salon doesn’t look as clean OR nice in person as online makes it seem, so bear that in mind!!!
My tech proceeds to put builder gel over my gel-x nails… they are now so thick. I didn’t get a single cuticle cut, not a dab of lotion, not a hand massage, just fumigated with nail dust, and fat nails. They didn’t even work on under my nails. The gentleman who started my nails couldn’t execute my design so someone else stepped in and there was no way I wasn’t tipping them both. I was so distracted by how well he did on the design, I didn’t notice how terrible the quality of my manicure was. I’m pretty annoyed by the whole thing.
