This was the absolute worst gel manicure I have ever received. If I could give a zero rating, I would. The tech filed my nails barely, in which I had to take the file and shape my nails to the desired shape after I asked her twice. She sloppily painted my nails and used only one coat. She didn't clip my cuticles. She barely pushed them back and applied one coat of nail polish. She then proceeds to put the smallest amount of lotion(enough to cover 1 finger) on my hand. Slightly rubs the lotion and pats my hand with a hot towel. I do not recommend this place. Along with the fact they could care less about the quality of service, the tech was not friendly at all. Go somewhere else. An absolute waste of time and money.

I've been here twice now. First the positives. The salon is in a nice looking strip mall location with decent parking. I was warmly greeted both times I arrived for my appointments, and the wait time was minimal. The nail tech from my first appointment was nice and did a good job. She was happy to fix a small issue with the polish and she seemed like she wanted me to be pleased with the job she did. When I was unable to get a fill-in appointment with this same nail tech until three weeks later, my nails were still stuck on with no lifting.
As for the negatives, I came in for my second appointment and was told when I walked in that the person I made the appointment with was out, so another woman did my nails. I wasn't thrilled with the service this time though. The manicure and pedicure were among the most basic I've ever had at any salon. Most of the time was spent filing off the gel polish from last time, so I really didn't have much of a soak during the pedicure. The foot scrubbing was very minimal as was any lotion application. Honestly, my feet look better when I use sugar scrub and do them myself in the shower. When she did my nails, it was actually painful since the file got me a few times.
My nails are not uniform in shape and length, so I will file them myself to make them more even, but they're not horrendous. For the cost, I am pretty underwhelmed overall though. I've been to other places where the basic mani and pedi includes more, so while there are some positives here, I'm on the fence about returning. Like another reviewer said, you might need to experiment with different people.
UPDATE: I just had a fill at a different salon. All but two of my gel overlays had to be redone. They basically popped off with minimal effort! Yikes! I wasn't super confident with the last service I had, but again, if you like this location and are happy here, it might be best to try a few different people because I definitely had a better experience the first time.
