1 /5 Mickey Official: I walked into Solar Nails at 5:40 PM for a full set and pedicure. Only two people were working…a woman and a guy named Ten. I didn’t get seated until 7:00 PM, which was already frustrating. Ten did both my pedicure and my nails, and while he was professional, that’s about where the positives end.
The salon smelled like ten pounds of bounce that ass—not even exaggerating. It was musty and just off, not the clean, fresh scent you expect from a nail spot. What really sealed the deal, though, was during my nail service: I spotted a roach crawling near the trash can beside Ten. I pointed it out, and instead of handling it properly, he just shook it into the trash and closed the lid like it was nothing… and kept on doing my nails.
At that point, I was just ready to go. I checked out and paid $90—$50 for the pedicure and $40 for the full set. The R&B station they had playing was the only thing keeping me calm. Loved the music, hated the rest of the experience.
Final verdict:
Decent nails, good music, but between the long wait, the smell, and the roach, I won’t be back.
