Even though their website says to text them for a quote, they have never responded.

Unfortunately, I had a very poor experience, to the point where I am partially curious whether this company offers discounts for good reviews. I don’t typically leave reviews because I understand that workers generally try their best and that issues can arise throughout the day. Overall, I consider myself an understanding, low-maintenance, and patient person. A few hours before my appointment, they moved my appointment time earlier so they could better allocate time. However, when I arrived, they were running late and I wasn’t seated until only 10 minutes before my original appointment time. At that point, I still didn’t mind. Per my request, I got Gel-X short square nails with cat-eye gel polish. I knew the cat-eye polish would cost extra, but I also knew the length I wanted wasn’t anything extreme. I did want gold gems or stickers, but the artist decided to paint gold dots and stars instead because she was running behind. This didn’t really make sense to me, since hand-painting nail art is more time-consuming than applying stickers or gems. Additionally, and something I have never experienced before, my artist had her next client sitting in the chair next to me, waiting and watching, because she was behind schedule. This was extremely uncomfortable and awkward, and I didn’t see this happening with any other clients in the salon. The most unfortunate part was the quality of the final result, which became more noticeable as the evening went on. The nails had a terrible and uneven shape, with bulky areas, uneven polish, and only one coat of top coat. As a result, they appeared much duller than they should have and began chipping after just three days. One nail even fell off after only two days, despite no strenuous hand activity. I also followed all of their pre- and post-appointment recommendations. While low-quality work might be understandable from a newer or less experienced artist, this technician has over eight years of experience. Overall, the total came to $173, not including tip. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. Multiple friends have pointed out how poor the nails look, and they were even more upset for me after learning how much I paid.
