3 /5 Nicole Weston: I moved to Georgetown from south Austin and needed to find a new nail salon, so I came here.
The good: the salon was clean, nice, friendly, and making an appointment was very easy. My pedicure was with a different tech and she did a great job. It has been a long time since I got a pedicure but it turned out great!
The not so good: I also went for a gel manicure to get a basic French tip manicure for my engagement photos. The tech pushed me to do poly gel (basically didn’t give me a choice) which I didn’t know was also more expensive, and I was reluctant to do anyways since I have always done regular gel but she insisted. She told me it would last longer, that it would damage my nails less, etc. It’s been less than two weeks and my nails are not lasting. I usually get 3-4 weeks out of a gel manicure without problems. I have a chip in the actual poly gel on my right pointer finger and a crack in the top gel on another finger. Also within 1 week, the edges of the polish at my cuticle area started to lift and now catch on things, especially my hair in the shower which is super annoying.
I’m not normally one to leave negative reviews and I understand things can happen so I apologize but after spending a lot of money on my nails I’m not super thrilled. My engagement photos got rescheduled by a week and since my nails didn’t last, I will have to have them redone before the photos. I may just make the drive back down to my old salon in south Austin.
