Art Nail

I was in the area and I thought I would stop by and get a manicure and pedicure. I just felt rushed and the pedicure was OK. But the manicure was just awful. My nails were lumpy, too much nail polish, didn’t dry all the way. I got done at 7p, I got home and one of my nails was already ruined cause she just put too much. This morning looking at it. they look awful. I called the place and they are going to fix it, but I regret going there in the first place.

I’m giving a one star because Unilocal doesn’t give me the option to rate them a fat zero. I went in for a mani and pedi. They only had two people working there, and they kept trying to take in more customers as they walked in. This becomes a problem when they claim my feet need to be soaked for 15 minutes… and then I end up soaking them for a freaking hour. My feet were so pruney! I’m pregnant so it’s hard to bend down and look at my toes, so that works in their advantage because I can’t see how badly they hastily did my pedicure. My shellac manicure was a joke. They didn’t work on my cuticles, my nails were filed down unevenly, and when my nails were buffed down, no one cleaned them off so the shavings were left on my nails… which made the nail polish bubbly and lumpy. Not to mention, because they were taking on other customers, they kept my poor fingers baking under the uv light for up to 10 minutes. They rushed my whole service and I would not recommend this place to anyone. I have been to hole in the wall nail salons before, but this one takes the cake to be the worst. Not to mention they did my friend’s pedicure and the woman cut my friends toe (from rushing) and no antibiotics or anything was used. I guess the blood matched the red nail polish so you couldn’t see her cut as much. We weren’t given any discounts for their poor service. Would I recommend this place to anyone? Maybe my worst enemy…

Would give lower if I could.
I’m not a prissy girl – ie, I don’t shave my legs every day, I am more often than not in a pony tail. I’m not the kind of person who sends food back at a restaurant.
I get gel nails because they are easy and don’t chip and last for a long time. My best friend and I came here to get our nails done. We arrived at 3:20pm on a Thursday. One woman was getting her nails done. There were two women there working (one occupied and one not).
My best friend and I wanted to get them done at the same time, and I was informed we would be able to do so. A gel manicure was $ 30, roughly par for the area.
We sit down, everything is fine. The other woman was finished with her manicure so both me and my friend were being worked on. It was about 3:35 when they started working on us. A perk of gel nails is that you can soak your nails to get old gel polish off, cleanly. I had a gel set on before coming here, and the lady chipped it off my nails, severely damaging my nails. I told her I wanted my cuticles pushed, and not clipped, but what did she (try to) do? Bet you can guess.
At about 4:05, a woman walks in with three little girls. She asks if they can get mani/​pedis and be done by five. I expect the lady to say no, but of course, she says sure, sure, come on in. That’s weird, I thought. Who’s going to work on them? And then what happens? The lady working on me gets up and leaves to go work on them. So I’m sitting there with my hand underneath the UV light… waiting. The woman that was working on my best friend started switching between us, back and forth.
She did not clean out from under my nails (what?), there was no hand massage, there was no lotion, there was no warm water. At the end she looked at me like she was done… and apparently she was. If I’m paying thirty bucks for nails, there shouldn’t be polish on my skin, my nails should be EVEN, the polish should go all the way to my cuticles, and I shouldn’t be left at the station. It was 5 by the time I got out. An hour and a half for a manicure? For a bare minimum manicure? If it would have been 15 bucks, eh, whatever. But it wasn’t.
«Okay! You can get up and wash your hands.»
«Uhm…Okay?»
Then, to my surprise, my charge was $ 31. I was confused but thought I may have misheard the $ 30. However, I looked at the wall behind the counter, and ends up they charge you a $ 1 surcharge if you use your credit card… which, is against Visa/​Mastercard policies in Texas. I notified Visa and the Texas Attorney General.
If they don’t follow legal practices… what makes you think they’ll follow hygiene practices?

I had a pretty decent experience here. I used a groupon and scheduled my appointment a day in advance so I was seated right away.
The shellac upgrade was $ 15 but the Polish looked old and kinda nasty so I stuck with a regualr Mani pedi. They got right to it and did a rather nice job… even after 5 days its still looking good.
The only real down side is it wasn’t a really relaxing experience. They sat me in a massage chair but never turned it on or showed me how to use it. The manacure seemed rushed and she was a bit rough at times, but all in all if you want a quick regular Mani or pedi this place has a friendly staff and does a decent job.

If u want a quick mani and pedi… This is the place!

FREAKING GROUPON!!!
If I could show you how lumpy my nails look I would… I am going to go home and take it off. The dude made my thumb bleed. No hand massage, lotion or hot towel not even warm water to put my fingers in. It was probably the WORST experience I’ve ever had at a nail place. Don’t go there! They obviously don’t know what they are doing.
