1 /5 Brittany Veign: The first time I came to this place, I had a great time. I was sandwiched between two other women, and we discussed how difficult it was to find a nail place in Redding, Ca, that treats you with respect and gets the job done. All three of us talked about how we noticed that some salons don’t put the product close to your cuticles. It makes you have to come back sooner. Some salons will also judge you for a tip if it changes, then to see how service changes when the tip changes, and sometimes their service changes even when the tip is still increasing. We were tired of having our nails broken, lifted, and blamed for it. And so, we found ourselves at Honey Nails. I sat down, had service, and then paid. Unfortunately, I  can no longer put my hands under UV light because of the increased risk of skin cancer. Which is why I also went out and bought my own nail polish products. I talked to them about switching over the first time I came in. Today I went in for the second time. I had brought my own products in this time. She told me that she was going to need me to pay first before she did my nails. I asked her if that was a normal thing that they did here at the salon, and she replied that it’s because if you mess up your nails with your own nail polish, we don’t want to have to do it again. I usually would never pay before service, but I did pay before service. I was curious. She rushed through my toes. There’s no cuticle oil for my cuticles, nothing. I was concerned.
Instead of asking in the salon in regards to paying prior to the service, I decided to call. When I called, she said, Oh is this Brittany? I mentioned wondering what her prices were for friends. And I also asked if it was going to be a reoccurring thing where I would have to pay ahead of time. I was just wondering what switched and if they do that for all of their clients. She told me that I was arguing with her and stopped answering me on the phone until I asked her if we were going to continue to talk like adults. 3 minutes went by. Then she told me that I was arguing with her and stopped answering me on the phone, then asked me to repeat myself. I said again that I just had a few questions. She told me she doesn’t understand what’s happening and that it’s okay if I don’t come back. Then she hung up on me. All in under 10 minutes.
Milo, the dog was the best thing in this salon for me.
