Du bout des ongles

I came to this salon four or five times when I first moved to Neuilly from the States.
Each time, I had the UV «gel» manicure which cost 50 Euros. That is a high price to pay, but the manicures do last a long time– 3 weeks at least– better than they do in the US.
Downside: they only have 4 – 5 colors so if crazy-​ass hot pink, Vampire Red, Shoe polish brown, BLACK are not your shades, you will be wearing something you kind of detest for weeks.
Downside: I was not made to feel very welcomed in the salon. One tech specifically spoke English and could see I was struggling and insecure and chose to be rather BIATCHY, and basically yelled at me when it was time to switch hands, etc. I was new, so I was learning about the culture here and assumed the harsh and almost-​mean, impatient treatment was «the way». I have learned it is not so in Paris.
I no longer go here– It is a great manicure that holds up, but it is worth a train ride for me to go somewhere I am welcome.
