1 /5 J Hammel: Let me start off by saying if I could give this place negative stars, I absolutely would since it doesnt deserve the 1 star I have to leave. Everything about my time there was terrible. To start I had called earlier in the day to make an appointment for 2:30 to get my nails done. Ive never been here before so I decided to give them a try. Anyway, get there at my appointed time, walk in and then for the next 20 some-odd minutes the woman is full blown arguing with me that I dont have an appointment now- its at 3:30. No. I called for 2:30 but regardless Im here now and theres not a soul in here. Just do my nails. She tells me to wait 30 minutes. Fine I guess, but whats the point in making an appointment? Finally the man who works there (I dont know his name) takes me and its clear from the start they just let anyone work here because he doesnt know what the hell hes doing. I was getting hard gel extensions and he starts by laying down the extension crooked and pointed downward. He needs to fix it, instead of taking it off immediately after hes realized its wrong, he decides to wait then RIP THEM OFF. No file, no cutters just straight up rip them off my nails. Then while he finally gets them on- albeit not great but good enough i guess, he asks how long I want them. I tell him where I want it cut, he cuts way above it. I figure thats fine since Im used to them being a little long at first but then after filing it ends where I want them. NOPE. Then its time to start building the nails, he starts scooping in massive chunks the hard gel and essentially playing with it because what he was doing could never be considered sculpting. After I have what can only be described as mountains for nails, he tries to file them. Thats not working so instead of shaping them to look like regular nails he moved over to filing down the sides. Hand filing, he filed my skin more then the actual nail. So much so that every last finger is now cut from him just using a hand file. He made multiple fingers bleed to which he just dropped that "shit stop bleeding" liquid on it then jumped back to trying to file down the monstrosity that was on top of my nails. Well that didnt go well either since he filed them down, and my cuticles, so much so that every single one of my cuticles are now bruised. And I dont mean a little, I mean they are all now purple. Not being able to see what exactly hes doing since he decided to angle my fingers down away from my sight he pressed on. I gave him a picture of what i wanted my nails to look like and while I dont expect them to look EXACTLY like what I showed him- I expect them to be at least in the ballpark. They werent. Not even close. I had asked for slanted French with some glitter as these nails specifically were for my engagement party and what I came out with was nails that looked like I was in the St. Patricks day parade while I danced an Irish Jig. They were NOTHING like what I asked for. Ive never been so angry at getting my nails done before and Ive been getting them done for at least 20 years now. I couldnt leave them like that but my fingers were in so much pain I needed to leave them for the day then go to a different salon the next day and pay more money just to get them to look halfway decent. But on top of that the woman could only file so much because my fingers were still raw and cut so I kept flinching every time she had to go near me. Do yourself a favor- NEVER EVER GO TO THIS MASOCHISTIC SALON. THEY LOVE SEEING YOU PAY FOR PAIN AND DISPLEASURE.
