All upgrades are very expensive. Gel nails are an extra $ 20 for a manicure, which is $ 18. The sign says you get a 7 minute hand massage and mine literally lasted 90 seconds. I timed it. The painting actually was fairly decent, but everything else was rushed and expensive.

Run away!!! I took my daughter here last weekend for mommy-​daughter pedicures. The price menu said $ 35 for a mani/​pedi. We wanted to upgrade to shellac, which I thought would be an extra $ 10 – 20 each or something reasonable… HA! My bad for not asking… but for both of us to get shellac nails and toes was $ 140. Yes, I am totally serious– that is not a typo. $ 140 dollars for this horrible experience. This is also not a high-​end establishment… this is a stripmall with outdated décor, and three people handling no less than 14 – 15 people during the hour ½ we were there, and they just kept accepting more and more walkins. I suppose that explains the mad rush to complete our mani/​pedis, as we were left with our feet in the soaking tub for about 30 minutes (water had gone cold.) and then given SUCH a fast and furious scrub down that I actually almost cried and had to ask the guy to stop scrubbing because it hurt so bad… (You can see from the photo how hard the scrubbing was… my skin was scrubbed raw on both legs, all around my ankles and lower calves…) I asked the man to not do the scrub at all on my daughter. He clipped and filed our nails, and cut my cuticles until they bled on 4 of my toes. (Really feeling relaxed and pampered now!)
After he was finished, the lady who seemed to be in charge of the place came over and did the shellac on both of us, took my card to charge before the final coat, and when she came back over– I had been charged $ 140. She handed me the receipt and said I could fill in the tip amount. Yeah right!!! NO tip!
My daughter’s shellac began chipping off within a day. Mine lasted about 3 days before starting to peel and chip. One of my toes also became infected from the bleeding cuticle when they cut them.
This has definitely been my most memorable mani/​pedi. I am seriously considering reporting this salon to the board of health. I am not expecting a strip mall salon to be Elizabeth Arden– but I am expecting to get services at a reasonable price, and to leave uninjured and without infection.
