2 /5 Jessica Seid: ill start with the positives -- clean salon, didnt smell like chemicals, and an appointment was readily available. the waxing i got was great, as was the esthetician who did it.
but man, i got a super disappointing gel manicure that they then tried to overcharge me for with a service (builder gel? or something) i never requested. luckily the owner waived the upcharge but it shouldnt have happened in the first place since i was never informed, nor did i agree to it.
i try to not make assumptions but my manicure was done by a gentleman who now very clearly is not properly trained in applying gel and how it needs to be correctly cured under a UV lamp. he destroyed one of my cuticles that bled for a long time, the rest of the nails didnt get much cuticle care, and just about every nails paint is cracked, and some paint jobs on my nails are sloppy. i cant return for them to fix it since i am now out of the country but ideally they could correct this with a partial refund. the shaping of my nails is the only nice thing about the manicure.
i cannot recommend nail art sf from this experience.
