1 /5 P N: Every time I go to a nail salon, they remind me of why Im NEVER going back. I got a take off and “manicure”. Since it has been so long since I was in classes to be a nail tech and having a manicure I asked a lot of questions. Especially since previously due to me being sick and having a disability previous techs have done my nails improper. When you go to a salon and ask prices or the process this makes the tech extremely angry. Back in the day the prices were up on the wall so customers could decide. This helps with time management. The cx needs to know what they can afford and they won’t have to ask you a hundred times. Once I decided on a regular manicure no gel, she began to rush and get rough. She only soaked my very dry cuticles for about a minute on one hand. As she skipped very important steps, I asked her to use the proper tool she told me she’d do it later, then told me she doesn’t have the tool. Also she pulled out a bucket full of used “e tip” tools to file my nail beds. Plus she had used “e tip” tools on top of the desk that she used , probably with all the customers that day. On top of putting super glue right on 2-3 broke nails with my nail bed exposed. I don’t need to tell you why that is disgusting and dangerous. I could literally lose my whole finger tip. Then she used one of the larger more abrasive nail files to shape my weak and brittle nails. This caused the shape to be unclean and uneven. I was so afraid to allow her to finish that I told her to just put a top coat and I’d do the rest. She then tried to clean up the nails just to make them look better before my exit. Nail salons have completely lost their way. They no longer care about maintaining you healthy nail or a positive experience. It is only about making money for doing less work and when a certain type of person comes in they make sure to give you the worst experience and up the prices before you leave.
I’m so happy I’m done with allowing ppl to mistreat me, mess up my nails, and over pay plus ALWAYS tip.
No thank you! Oh yea this cost 40.00 dollars when I swear that changed.
I am making this post to hold self accountable and never go back. My fingers are important and God knows I need them.
