Jill Guidote I only write bad reviews when I feel its warranted. This, unfortunately, is one of those instances.
I needed a fresh dip powder manicure because my hands were being used for some videos. I had been doing dip for at least a month, and my nails had been long, strong, and shaped into almond. My usual salon was closed, and I needed to find a place quickly because the shoot was the next day.
I called this place and asked if they did dip powder. They said yes. They allowed me to come in immediately as a walk in which I appreciated, especially since they only had 2 people working. However, I should have realized this was a mistake when I didnt see any powders to choose from on the wall next to the polish, nor did they have a catalog to pick colors from.
She soaked my nails in acetone for almost an hour. The glitter powder was ugly, but it would do for the shoot, so whatever. Beggers couldnt be choosers in this situation. It was becoming more apparent that she had never done a dip powder manicure before. She only put one gel top coat on, and suddenly, she was done. They felt super thin.
The cost was $10 more than my usual place. Come the next day of the shoot, my nails break while Im handling stuff. My thumb and index were completely broken. I had to drive 45 minutes from where we were shooting and call my salon on the way to fit me in the last minute to fix what had been broken. Holding up the film production.
Despite this salon accommodating me, this ended up being a waste of money and costing me more money and time to fix. It held up filming, and it ruined the month long work my nail tech and I had put into making my nails long and nice. My nails had been so strong. So I have to now cut them short and start all over again. I would have preferred the salon be honest and not said yes they could do something they clearly couldnt.
Despite that, the salon is very clean and the chairs and stations are very clean. I hope the business learns from this in the future. I certainly have.
