This place is very clean and I love that the staff speaks fluent english - makes everything a lot easier when I understand what they are asking me and vice versa. Everyone is very friendly as well.
The only reason I am giving them two stars is because I did not get what I wanted. I went to them to get my 30th birthday nails and was VERY unhappy. Based on such positive reviews about Annie, I requested to have her as my nail artist. I wanted marble on one finger and rhinestones on another (on top by cuticle). Firstly, Annie could not do a marble. She drew very dark lines on the finger and was not able to fade them, so it was nothing close to a marble. She then called another artist to help her out and she had to pretty much erase the lines Annie had drawn and do the marble all over again. She also could not do it. My mom was waiting outside so I had started getting a little anxious by this time. . I was also thinking its time for them to close so I also didn t want to have them work on my nails for so long. So I asked them to just leave the marble and suggest me something else that they could do for me. They didn t and both of them continued trying the marble maybe they thought I really want the marble and they were trying their best to do that for me. When the second artist was done, the nail once again was nothing close to a marble. It looked like black spotting on a pink nail. Then Annie went on to put rhinestones on my other nail. From far it looked fine but if I wanted to take a closer look I wasn t allowed because the gel moves and rhinestones move as well , as Annie said. So I said okay its fine I guess? When I got back into the car it was disgusting. All rhinestones were huge and one size, instead of a bigger on in the middle and the size going smaller towards the sides.
I had a pedicure appointment the next day at 9 am so I went and asked Annie that I want to have the two nails fixed and I don t like them. So if she thinks she wouldn t have time to do the pedicure and fix the nails, then I would prefer her to fix my hand nails instead. She said she would have time so I can proceed with my pedicure. I did so and after I dipped my feet into the water she asked me what I wanted and I told her I still want a design, to which she replied saying oh no I won t have time for design . Another artist said I could come back.
At this point I m quite irritated thinking why did she tell me she had time to fix my nails and do the pedicure if she actually didn t? I was stuck with having to come back.
I go back and try to show Annie a picture of what I want instead of the marble. She doesn t even bother to look at the picture or listen to me properly and started making the design. Not that the design was hideous or something, but once again, it was not what I had wanted and it was not clean at all. I could tell her after she was done that this is not what I want but honestly at this point I was tired of this and just wanted to get this over with and leave.
Everything other than this experience was great. But I would appreciate if the nail artists can go through some more training and stop and listen to the client before starting their work.
