Nail Art

I normally don’t give any business 1 star, but I’m highly displeased with them. It started with a 20 minute wait after being told to begin with it would be 5 min tops. Figured, okay my fault I came on a Saturday with no appointment.
Then when I sat down, she frequently got up or kept looking at the door like she was expecting a heist to go down.
I asked for a full set with French tip. She and I got stuck together with the nail glue & had to soak together in remover.
Then during the application of the acrylic, there was so much on my fingers and under my nails it was painful.
Got up to wash my hands, Sat back down, she applied the top coat… stuck my hands in the dryer and walked off. No explanation of how long or coming back to check on me.
Here it is a week later & my nails are all lifting!!! I shouldn’t pay $ 31 plus tip for my nails to all be coming up after ONE week. Plus, it looks like I haven’t had them done in 3 weeks she buffered so much off the bottoms and sides.
This place was good when I went 5 years ago, now I won’t go back. Looks like I’ll be going back to Woodbridge to my regular.

I came here for convenience of location and I was long overdue for a pedicure. Wanting something quick, I made my way here. I soaked for nearly an hour before someone started my pedicure. In the middle of it, the attendant left to finish her precious customer, answer the phone, and tend to a new customer. Service was not customer focused.

I’m very torn because this has been my go-​to place maybe 5 – 6 times and I’ve always gotten really good service and a good pedicure but I walked out of there last week and not only is one of my toes still sore from the stab wound it received I have 2 patches of what I can only describe as some sort of dermatitis or other fungal infection. Definitely won’t be returning because now I’m just skeeved out that they don’t clean their stuff properly I don’t want to wonder whether I was unlucky just this once or really lucky every other time.

I’ve always wanted to like this place because it’s close by when I run errands but after tonight’s visit, I’m never coming back. My pedicure was mediocre at best, the lady killed my toes and the massage was basically just a light pat, but what upset me the most is the price they charged for my 6 year old daughter’s pedicure! All they did was stick her feet in the water, rub some soap and then lotion of her feet before painting and they charged the same price for me as they did hers! $ 37 for something so short and simple. It’s appalling. When I asked about it the lady kept making excuses and I didn’t want to argue about it in front of my daughter so I just left $ 80 poorer and really disgusted.

Recently got new massage chairs that are excellent. The pedicure looked good and lasted awhile. The only downside was the awful tv selection that was on.

After driving by two other salons in Central Park, we settled on Nail Art, across from the side of HH Gregg. It looked ok enough from the outside and was staffed enough to do two pedicures at once. Here is the run down…
— Convenience — good. No appointment and we were seen promptly.
— Polish — a nice selection off colors, both common and uncommon.
— Overall appearance — better from the outside — the inside was pretty worn looking. They made some attempt at cleanliness in the lobby area and the service area, but every corner was gross and the hallway to the bathroom was downright gross.
— Chairs — back massage only, but it was a good one. Hit the right spots and wasn’t hard to set up. Chairs and remotes were worn though.
— Service — so, so. My person was a little lazy about the calf massage and the callus scrubbing. And she painted over my cuticles, so I am sure there will be chips in a few days.
— Price — three levels ranging from $ 25-​$ 45 — we got the $ 35 and it was a good value.
— Other — employees’ kids in the salon is a no no for me. They played on ipads and were quiet (except for one with sound), but still. And one of my party was rung up by one of those kids.
