Update (July 11,2023): I have given this place again another chance. Sandy who does My nails no longer work there but she referred me Theresa and she was fantastic! I'm now a regular for sure for her. Love love my nails! 😊
I'll be honest. I've been going to this salon since I think 2021 when I first found it that it's close to our house cos I always passed by it when I go to see my doctor in Med Center. Anyways, today I've went again and I was really trying to be nice and patient. Michael always does my pedicure and he does good. He sometimes does my dip powder but im avoiding it as much as possible when I go there cos my nails don't last long for some reason. Within 5 days to a week it will break and I have no time to go back so I just fix it myself. FYI, I'm a licensed Cosmetology Educator also so that's why I knew these stuffs. Today, I was charged 170 plus tips for my hands and feet (pedicure) that's the most I paid for in there that I honestly don't like and had to fix it when I get home. When I called I specifically asked for dip powder. They did an acrylic then suggested ombre. Said My nails are boring so try something different. I said sure since she (Tiffany) looks very excited and enthusiastic and I'm thinking maybe finally I'll get a good dip powder nails in here that will last at least 3 weeks or more. She is a new nail tech there and even asked for my contact info for next time. But I ended up making changes on it including the nail polish color cos it looked like a Halloween candy corn nails that should be "ombre" I suggested to put some glitters in the ends on top of the dark pink ombre so it will looked a bit better. My nails ended up very thick, wrong shape so I have to file it. I ended up having a few wounds when she tried to give "manicure" cos she said my cuticle are very dry so I said sure go ahead etc. And FYI another extra charges. The most expensive nails I had that I didn't even like and that I had to fix at home, reshape, refile and color it differently cos it looked like my nails are bleeding ombre. Lol. 100 bucks just for that! I paid 55 for full set I've had in Austin before I went there today and that lasted almost 4 weeks, I just really needed it done today that's why I went there. With my Pedicure it was always worth it cos I always pay around that amount, the prices went up which is I understand. 55 bucks for deluxe pedicure plus additional 15 for shellac I think. That is fine with me cos my pedicure usually last longer, no problem. But my nails I have today I have to put neosporin on most of all my cuticles cos it hurts so much cos she rinse the blood with acetone for it to stop instead of alcohol or something else for bleeding. It is my fault for not saying anything, but I won't shut up anymore next time if I ever come back. Also, when im paying same nail tech checked me out, I gave her 80 cash and rest to my card. She charged the entire 170 in my card, good thing i saw it! I told her that and she said just do it all in my card so she dont need to fix it. Smh! I got my cash back fortunately cos i saw it. Bummer I liked this location! I didn't even plan to leave a review like this but my cuticles hurts and I'm so disappointed that I had to fix it myself as soon as I get home to think I paid a lot for it. Smh.
Edit: I came back to this place only abt 2 weeks after and I had to get it fix already. I went on a Tuesday cos I remembered the lady who did my nails said she is off Tuesday and Lo and Behold she was there! She wanted to do my nails again and I told her what she did and that she overcharged me. She denied it and I said nope that was her and that I want someone else to do my nails. At first she insisted to do removed my old nails and I said I would rather have someone do it all and finally she left me alone with the help of Michael. They are talking in Vietnamese. Anyways, then I met Sandy and she fixed my nails. And ever since then I've been back twice with her. Stay away from the lady named Tiffany or rather make sure ask how much first so she won't overcharged you.
