Diva Nails Salon In Derby

Don’t even know where to begin…
Every person who works here (with the exception of the BAREFOOTED pedicure tech) was obsessed with their phones. I sat next to a lady getting her nails done and the tech would look over at her phone as she was grinding away with the drill! She put the white tips halfway up this woman’s nails so she barely had any pink nail bed at all… that wasn’t a smile line, that was a frown! The nails were thick as heck and the tech kept saying, «Pretty! Pretty!» to her customer like she was trying to convince her. No way would I have tolerated what that lady did. The ENTIRE TIME I sat there, the front desk girl answered her own iPhone (I assume from the ring that’s identical to mine) more times than she did the front desk phone.
My tech clipped my nails WAY too short, she nabbed some of my fingertip with the clippers. She pulled them out of a drawer, did not sanitize them, and put them back in the drawer without sanitizing them after she snipped skin on me. She was way too aggressive with taking down the surface of my nails — you remove the shine, not the entire nail bed! The tips were too wide for my nails, the acrylic was too thick… I told her they were thick but she didn’t make any effort to remove any. When she had me wash up after applying the acrylic, there was only one brush at the sink for everyone to use. No sanitizer, NO HAND SOAP, no dirty brush bin… EW!!! I think the sanitation issue at this salon is pretty egregious. I had already decided that this was going to be my last visit at this point, because it was pretty hard to believe.
To solidify my decision never to go back, my nails started popping off just a few days later. I ended up going to a salon on South Seneca and the man there spent an hour taking down these hideous chunks of BLOCKS that were attached to my nails. Not even at the mall have I gotten such a crappy adhesion… won’t be back, won’t ever recommend them. I noticed that most of their customers this day (a Saturday) were much older ladies, maybe all they get are basic manicures that can’t really be messed up.

Oh my gosh! 1^st time here today and they are awesome! All so sweet & did exactly what I wanted!!! My nails came out perfect! I’m so excited!!! I so found my new nail spot!
