1 /5 Fatima Bahari: This is a pretty long review. Please take the time to read this if you want to save yourself from a tremendous headache. DO NOT GO HERE to get your nails done. This place is truly terrible. Now, I normally don’t leave bad reviews, but these ladies PISSED me off to my core. I had previously went to them to get my nails done. Mind you, I had a simple shape/color in mind…almond shaped nails with a cherry red color and glitter. It was pretty simple. Not only did they MESS up the color, they gave me chrome..which I DIDNT want. I made them remove the chrome and add glitter. But the glitter they added tinted the red and made it appear black instead. After that, I told myself I’d never go there again. Ever since, I’ve been going to NAILS OF AMERICA. They are PHENOMENAL at their service and skill. Very respectful and talented nail techs. But for some reason, recently, I decided to go back and give La Palm a try again. This time I had a somewhat complex design in mind. I wanted stiletto dark blue nails with a pink tint in the middle topped with a heart. The first nail tech tried it on my pinkie and FAILED to color my nails the way I wanted and told me they need an air brush. I figured they couldn’t do it because of their long conversation. But they told me they had another nail tech that could do it. I didn’t want to stay because I had a feeling they simply couldn’t do the design but the manager kept insisting the second nail tech would do a better job. The nail tech decided to apply powder to ALL of my nails instead of experimenting with one nail. I didn’t say anything because in the beginning I was reassured she might be doing a decent job since the base color was spot on. However, when it came to applying the pink color in the middle of the nail she decided to use an eyeshadow shadow q-tip to mimic the pink tint but it didn’t seem to work out. Long story short, I was forced to pay for basic nails with the blue base for $56 which was absolutely not worth it. They TRAPPED me into paying for the nails when I didn’t want to do it in the beginning seeing as the first nail tech was struggling to add the pink tint. Please, if a nail tech is unsure about the nail design, do not waste your time. Not only did I experience this with them, I came in again to get my pinkie nail fixed because it came off a day later and the way the nail tech went about fixing it was completely wack. Now my pointer finger nail is coming off too and I don’t have the energy to go back again. This was such a waste of money and it’ll be the second and last time I’ll go there again. I’ve read peoples reviews and the good experiences they’ve had, probably because they got the bare minimum done and something simple. If you’re one of those people, then yes, but if you’re looking to get Pinterest type nails done, then this isn’t the salon to go to. Please save yourselves the money and trip.
