I had a gift card and used it for a pedicure and shellac manicure last Thursday. The salon is inviting and seemed okay when I arrived. My nail tech was silent. Yep, silent. It was incredibly awkward. After a while I assumed either the tech was ill, didn't like me or simply had a lack of personality. The TV that was on was quiet and only showed product the salon sells. The room was near silent (except when the other tech was talking friendly with her client) with very low music playing. If I had not used a gift card for the services, I would have left before my manicure. I should have. My shellac - should stay on at least 10 days to 2 weeks - is already peeling. I noticed this within 48 hours. She did say that the service is guaranteed but I do not need to waste another 45 minutes out of my life to go to this spa again. Made the mistake once, won't happen twice. I'll go back to where they speak little english and give a wonderful manicure (tends to last upwards of 3 weeks). I feel more welcome there.
