I would give Beautifica zero stars if I could. Do not waste your time or money at this ""spa"". They use good products...and that is about it. I went in using a Groupon for a Gel Mani Pedi for $45 and what I got was not even worth that. Literally the WORST mani pedi of my life. I went in thinking it would be a birthday treat--boy was I disappointed. \r

The nail tech did an all around sloppy job--my old nail polish was not fully removed, she unevenly applied the new gel polish resulting in an uneven look (e.g. she smeared one nail on the second coat and then wiped off all the old polish including base coat and 1st coat of color and then wanted to just apply one coat of color instead of 2 like all the other nails), and worst of all, the 21-day manicure began to peel after 2 days! Ridiculous. \r

Also, this salon does not soak nails or feet prior to the mani/pedi (some salons do that because it can make the polish last longer) but they also do not have you wash your hands/feet at all, nor do they apply any cleansing creams/gels/lotions as most other places that use a dry method do. It was so gross. This also means that there really isn't much to the pedicure aside from applying the gel polish.\r

Just save your time and money and have a 4 year old paint your nails.
