From Head To Toe

I had a Brazilian and a Shellac manicure here. The girl who waxed me was great, and she did a nice job. The manicurist seemed really distracted and did not do a good job at all. My nails were messy, lumpy and chipped within 2 days — Shellac is supposed to last weeks!!! The front of the store was clean, but the back rooms were dirty and not at all relaxing. The owner’s kids were in the store — bored — and the owner was scolding them in front of customers. Not very professional at all. I would recommend trying somewhere else.

Not over the top friendly but friendly enough I suppose.
I made an appointment for a shellac manicure which was done by a hair stylist. I asked whether they had a nude gel color and was given three bottles to choose from, none of which were nude. The colors I was given were brown, bronze, and gold. I just went with another color. The salon is dimly lit so what appeared to be red was more of a berry in better light. The woman who did my manicure cut my finger with cuticle scissors which felt like a bad hang nail and hurt for days. When she couldn’t get it to stop bleeding she pulled a small tube of nail glue from the drawer and put glue over the cut! Not only did I not want glue in my cut, the tube of glue (which directly touched my cut) was then put back in the drawer which I found to be completely unsanitary. When the manicure was done, I was dissatisfied with the color, but that was my own choosing. However, the polish was also far away from my cuticle and made it look as if my nails were already grown out. The next day the gel was already chipping from my right index finger (shellac should last for at least two weeks). I called to see if they would be willing to correct it and they were so I went back. Instead of redoing the entire nail, this new person just painted over it which made the color on my index finger two shades darker than the rest of my fingers, which she seemed not to notice or care. I will never go back and waste my time or money. Not only are my nails still chipping but after a week they look like I had my manicure three weeks ago. It’s obvious the hair stylists here who are doing the shellac manicures have not been properly trained to do so.

This is tough one for me. I was in town for a cousin’s wedding and needed to get a wax. I tried 5 different places to get a quick wax and all booked. So, I ran in this place and she was willing to take me. I had to wait a few minutes but I was ok with it since she was taking me without an appointment. She was very pleasant and personable. There were a few patches but someone was waiting on me so I needed to go. I get to the register and she says $ 90 and I thought wow, Ohio is more expensive 5x’s more expensive for these services. So, I leave a 15% tip and grab their pamphlet to check the prices later. Per the pamphlet, the service was only $ 45 so I am still very curious how it ended up double. Not to mention the tip I gave. They were pleasant, did a good enough job but ask about the price before getting the service. Make sure you know the posted price to ensure you don’t get ripped.
