4 /5 bianca Walker: Here are my pros and cons with my experience today at this nail salon. PROS : place looks very clean and beautiful , I LOVE the pink and floral look it has . They were very quick in starting once I entered , I got a manicure and pedicure and the two ladies handled my feet and hands with care . When I booked online I left notes saying not to do Cudical work ( I do it at home to avoid cuts because my cutical get very dry and its never a fun experience getting cut when they do your nails ) and not to use the hard scrub for the sols of my feet ( I am very ticklish) . They kept my notes in mind and did a lovely job and following through with my notes . Made me feel heard . They offered complimentary water / tea and coffee which was a lovely touch and the stuff they used to sugar scrub me feet ? Such a beautiful and wonderful floral smell , I felt so pretty and pampered. The staff was very nice and seemed very caring when I was there . Now the CONS : what I wanted was a simple chrome look ( no designs or extra stuff ) and their options on chrome was limited ( in my opinion ) and when I asked them if they can do it on clear base so it can be more transparent rather than on a solid white color , they looked at me like I was crazy and said straight out no. I know my manicurist tried explaining to me why it couldnt be done but Ive had it done at other nail salons before so Im not sure if its because of the lack of color options ? Or the quality of the chrome powder they have that doesnt not go on vibrant ? Or the lack in experience and knowledge ?Whatever the case is , the ladies tried to figure out a way to get it as close to what I wanted ( they said we could do pink nude ) so Im happy that they attempted to make it work but the initial feeling of making me feel like what I was asking for what just unheard of is what left a bit of a bitter /awkward after taste for the rest of the experience . I always try to find a place that keeps up with modern designs and looks and it seems like if they freaked out over a simple chrome look ? Looks like the staff needs to do some homework and up their experience . I say this with the most respect because I appreciate the staff for the work they put in but if you are going to work doing nails , does it not make sense to always be learning and being able to give more modern designs and wider varieties for your clients instead of staying with the typical french tip and solid color styles ? I dont know , just something I always would think should be something key and important for your clients . I didnt like that they charge you twice for chrome if you want it on both hands and feet so that turned my most basic look I have ever gotten as far as manicure and pedi into a total of $200 plus extra for tiping the girls of course . Its been a minute since Ive gotten my nails done and maybe the prices just keep rising but for a basic look and basic care ? Im on the fence about that and it makes me a little concerned on if I want to go back when I want something a little more with designs and dazzle since that Is normally what I go in for. I did get cut on my pinky and it was a deep cut . I dont hold that on to my manicurist because at the end of the day Im expecting to get cut regardless. Its just bound to happen and Im just glad it was just on one finger and not multiple cuts so I give my ladies the love and support they deserve for todays visit . Overall experience was great in itself but I guess the price to pay for basic /natural stuff is going up so if you dont mind spending the money for it , I would say this is a great place . I find it a beautiful spot overall and I wish I was able to come back a lot more but we shall see . At the end of the day , I love how clean my nails look , If it wasnt for the cons , I would give all 5 stars .
