2 /5 Savannah: the place looked clean.
they use jetted tubs for pedicures so questionable sanitation.
pedicure: i usually do my own and have them polished but i just moved across the country and didn’t have time. zero cuticle work was done, i was really surprised. i was a licensed nail for 5 years and i mean, that’s the basis of manicuring - grooming. this is one of the things that helps the polish adhere. i have issues with dead skin build up on my sidewalls and that wasn’t touched at all. i was really disappointed bc idc about the massage, i just want my cuticles done. the polish job wasn’t bad, no cleanup tool used. just fingernails and some flooded cuticles.
manicure: i always do a colored acrylic refill. they don’t do acrylic at all. i was going to go somewhere else but i was already at 5 weeks and desperate so i let them do a hard gel refill. she wasn’t bad, she was gentle, didn’t nick me, but they are bumpy in side profile and not very close to the cuticle. the 3rd day looked like 1 week grow out. my top coat is already matte in some areas which shows really bad on the shimmer polish i chose and chipping at the tips; im not harsh on my nails. they’re treated like jewels not tools.
i would come back for my nails if i could get the same girl again if i was really needing them done. there’s potential. but i know i have higher expectations and im picky!
