A: I like to support local businesses so, thought I would try this new salon since it is so near my home. Unfortunately, it was not a good experience and I want to inform others, so at least they know what they are dealing with. Wish I had known. The techs here are brand new nail school graduates with very little experience. It took nearly 3 hours for my tech to complete a pink and white full set and they look horrible! The white tips are of uneven length, some tips wide and others very thin. On some nails the white is swirled into the pink and looks really bad. After less than 2 weeks I have had 3 nails tips chip off and had to be filed down. The pink color is also uneven. I was going to call and have them redone, but what's the point? She obviously did the best job she could, but just does not have enough experience yet. I felt bad for her because she was obviously uncomfortable as well. Just needs more practice! My neighbor had the same experience a week later. It took her over 2 hours to do just a regular back fill with polish. She was not happy with how they turned out so went back the next day to have them redone. They still do not look great. I was hoping to find a great new nail salon location, but was extremely disappointed.

A: Let me start of by saying, I'm not one to tell others how to do their job, student or not. I'll let you know what I want and I'll let you do your job. Although this mani pedi plus tip only cost me $22.. I would never ever come back. EVEN IF IT WAS FREE! What I saved by coming to this school plus the results that I got together wasn't worth my time, drive, money, or energy. It's far in the east, in the ghetto (I was almost hesitant on getting out of the car).. and it took 3.5 hours total (plus an additional 40 minute drive each way). I had a "cosmo" do my mani, I had already filed my nails myself so all she had to do was paint white lines, which she did very well. The issue was- she didn't make a wise decision on my base coat. She used an (old) thick polish so it didn't come out evenly, texture wise and color wise (see picture). I don't want to be mean but anyone with any kind of sense could tell that it didn't even look decent. A quote from her "it's kinda thick but its not bad". Obviously she knew there was an issue, maybe too lazy to correct it or figured that I'm just a cheap client and I deserve what I paid for? It took about an 1.5 hours for my simple (not deluxe) French mani. Another quote from her, "I've been here for two months, I do hair but I like nails too". I had an actual "nail tech" do my pedi. I was hoping that since she was a nail tech, I would be much happier with the results, I even suggest for her to use a different base coat. I didn't clip my toes or filed them myself so it was up to her to do so. MY OH MY was I wrong on assuming that this nail tech would be better than the cosmo- she couldn't even file straight, forget about painting straight! On top of that, she mentioned that she only has 4 months left until graduation! PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURES I UPLOADED. It is nowhere near straight but when she was done she asked me if it was okay.. obviously if she herself thought it was okay then she has no sense at all, not even worth mentioning to her that they weren't straight. Not to consider how long I've been there, I just wanted to get the beep out asap! (It's 30 mins before closing and I asked how many clients she had today.) "It depends on how many requests I get. You're my second client today". (I didn't request her.) Uhhhh- You've been here all day and I'm just your second client..? Not just that people don't request you.. But they also don't use you unless there are no other workers left?!! This simple pedi took just a little bit over 1.5 hours, with me asking her to skip the massage. Okay. They make you pay beforehand, if they didn't.. I would've walked out after my 1.5 hour manicure. An hour into my pedicure, I wanted to pull my hair out and storm out.. But I just couldn't. I don't want to be the one to make these girls realize that they're in the wrong field. I still tipped and was polite, but in reality.. NO NO NO!!! Another thing I realized.. These girls aren't getting paid, I wouldn't be surprised if they took their sweet time purposely so they'll have to work on fewer clients. I got off work at 5 and immediately drove there ..I got home at 940. I wasted a total of almost five hours of my evening. FYI, I skipped my workout for this and was planning on getting a massage after. I dearly regret my decision. For the time that I wasted here, I could've worked out, got a mani pedi elsewhere, my massage, and probably even a nice dinner! I CANNOT wait to get home to take these off!!! OMG (and yes I am writing out this review as I am sitting here because I have nothing else to do in this janky run down place!!) God, please bless these girls.

I live near this place and I always want to like it more than I do. I like the bar area. Its small, but has character and a nice view. Once we ordered small plates and wine. The olives on our anti pasta plate were rancid. The manager/bartender apologized. Nothing was removed from the bill. And nothing was replaced. Last time we visited just for drinks. The bar area had a strong old mildew alcohol smell. It was almost overwhelming at first. I don't know if I will return.
