Paris Model Nails III

At this point, if it were possible to give negative stars, I would! I’ve been a client of this salon for as long a I can remember… at least 10 years. Lately… more often than not… I’ve been waiting no less than 30 minutes past my appointment time. I don’t mind the occasional «running a bit behind» but every single time I’m here, it’s an issue. Most recently I waited over 30 minutes with no apology from the owner only to find out he took 2 walk-​ins which made them run late. There are now signs in the salon that state that clients are not allowed to text their technician or they could lose their job. Nice! Talk about making your clients uncomfortable. It’s unfortunate because I’ve been a long time client and love the woman who does my nails! I’ve also seen a couple of other women there and they’re super sweet as well. It’s not their fault they work for such an unprofessional business owner who has zero clue how to treat clients. I’m just not willing to give my hard earned money and time to a business owner who CLEARLY doesn’t appreciate it!!! There are so many other places around that would be happy to have my business. I think it’s time to give another place a try.

I have been going here off and on for a few years now… always clean and nice employees… until they started using handsanitizer instead of cleaning their brushes or to make things easier and faster (less work). Im sorry i do not want handsanitizer all over my toes… I dropped cash while paying with my debit card and when i went to go grab it the lady said it was hers not mine… it was a $ 50 dollar bill may i add. NEVER GOING BACK THEY ARE DISHONEST AND RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS… looks like my $ 50 went towards their Christmas presents

The place is clean. They treat you like a real person. The pedicures are 45 minutes and detailed, relaxing, without being too drawn out. Any bling or design on the big toes always look great! I get a shellac manicure (french) about every 3 weeks and they last unless you are doing major yard work! My go to place for mani/​pedi. LOVE THEM… oh and try Lisa, she is THE best there.

Ok. They are super fast. A manicure pedicure special takes 30 mins start to finish. I definitely feel rushed when I’m there and part of a cattle herd. The end result does always last me a bit longer than other places. $ 38 for the combo is a bit pricey for this quick service. They are always busy though and the laidies are super friendly. A nice touch is the hot towel they provide for the pedicure. It’s reasonably clean. 2 stars because my nails look nice after and there magazine selection rocks.

I went to Paris nails for a gel fill. They filled my nails with some powder stuff and then did a gel overlay. I was not pleased with the powder crap instead of real gel but the end result #1 looked good and #2, the place is 5 mins from my house. So I ended up going back for another fill because I’ve been having a hard time finding a nail place in Danvers that I like. I’m not picky, I just want a place that is not going to botch my cuticles, make me bleed and not do big clumpy looking nails. Both of my visits, my nail tech, Julia advised I was in need of a new set — it had been a long time since I had mine put on originally so I agreed. BIG MISTAKE. I was told to come in 15 mins. early to soak my nails to have them removed. I sat there for 15 mins wasting my time even after telling the greeter person I was there for a new set and Julia told me to come early to soak for 15 minutes to remove the old ones. Julia takes me back and says you do not need a new set. I told her SHE was the one who told me TWICE I needed a new set but if they are fine as is, then I’d be more than happy to just get a fill. Then she starts cutting and pulling at them with the tiny sharp clipper scissor things pulling and tugging the nails back from my naural nail — OOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW — I pulled my hand back and said, that really hurt. She says sorry and then continues to do that AGAIN! So apparently, we go from «you need a fill, not new set» to manual removal by chinese torture treatment. So I say if you are removing these, I prefer to soak them first, that is very painful with you pulling them. She proceeds to slide a new nail tip between my natural nail and then overlay nail — EXCRUITATING PAINFUL. I had to pull my hand away and say DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN. Why oh why didn’t I just walk out at that point? She pulled an entire layer off of my natural nail and one area was so damaged, it looked like blood underneath it. She proceeds to fill a soaker thing with acetone and plugs it in and says «15 minutes». She goes and moves on to another customer to do a pedicure. She says, someone else will remove them and then I will come back. 1 HOUR later she comes back and starts drilling what remained of the gooey mess. My natural nail beds were so damaged at that point. I really wanted to just leave and I really don’t know why I didn’t. I kept thinking the worst is over, the worst is over. But no, she starts using her drill thing to sand down my cuticles. She then starts cutting down my natural nail and she keeps catching my skin in the clipper! WTF!!! I really wanted to cry at this point but I kept thinking it’s almost done, almost done, I’ll get the new ones on and never ever set foot in this place again. So on it went, I finally got the new set on. She continued to do stupid things like use the nail file and file half my skin off as she was filing the new tips. I wanted a french manicure since I had a nice new set but the natural nail bed was so damaged you could see right through the pink from the french manucure. Anyways, I could go on and on and I guess I’m the stupid one for having stayed there, no one else would, so please… do me a favor, try someplace else. This place (or perhaps it was just the individual –Julia) has no business doing nails. Oh and btw, she didn’t charge me for the removal… not sure if it was because she was ridiculously inept at it or because of the wait. All in all, my time for the removal and new set, 3 hours, 20 minutes. I woke up at 3am that night with my fingers actually throbbing!
