1 /5 A N: I don’t know how this place has all of these 5 star reviews.
I’ve barely had my nails (acrylics/gel x) for two weeks and they’re already coming off. But that’s not what this review is about.
I wish I could remember the tech who did my nails, but I think I just blocked her out entirely. Word of the wise, maybe don’t make fun of your client’s features? Or REPEATEDLY address them?? Can’t believe this needs to be said, but this is exactly why I shy from going to salons. I was in a car wreck and half of my nails broke, also I naturally have small nail beds- this tech would NOT stop saying how small my baby nail beds were and kept laughing about it. Also she applied two nails on crooked because of some useless light lamp contraption she was using vs. the full curing device. I don’t know why I even stayed/tipped.
Also again, can’t believe this needs to be said, but don’t speak with your coworker/buddy in a different language and gesture to a customer then fake smile and say “it so prettyyy”. Right.
I am a linguist by trade and speak four languages. I would NEVER speak a language someone doesn’t seemingly know in front of them, very clearly talking about them. It’s tacky and unprofessional. You’re in an English speaking space. If you are going to tell your coworker something about the client or the work you’re doing on the client, you can say it in the language the client understands- or not say it at all.
Your salon is why nail salons that aren’t predominantly English speaking have a bad reputation.
The quality, the service, the repeated addressing of flaws that I CANNOT CONTROL are why I will never go back here again.
