text: Since my last horrible gel nail experience at a previous salon they ended up lasting about days people my nails needed help The last manicure left the gel polish peeling to which I stupidly kept picking at which is not good for your nails I decided to go to Q Nails which I used to go to years ago when I had acrylics nnThe place looks the same although they are doing some renovations in the back to increase the space for facialsnnI told the nail tech I had gel nails done at another salon and lasted only days she said theirs last wks ok go for it nnShe started by cleaning off what was left of my old gel polish and shaping the nail I was not crazy about how she shaped thembut I will come back to that nnSo she then left and Tony took over He had just finished working with a woman who apparently has been coming to him for years and supplies all the magazines in the salon she brings in her old ones Ok so he must be good if she keeps coming back nnI opted again for the french gel manicure He did a slightly different technique from what I saw before and made sure to allow the polish to cure under the light for the set time the light turned off when time was up for each coat nnIts only been days but so far no signs of chippingand I do not baby my hands so this stuff needs to hold up with everything I do The shape does not look bad with the polish on and I think once they get a little longer they will look even better Gel manicure Gel french manicure They accept credit cards but you cannot add the tip so bring cash for that nnMy reason for stars only is just for the question of cleanliness I saw him putting tools away when he was done after my manicureand he had not cleaned them So I am assuming they had not been cleaned prior to my manicure
