Nail Art

I went to go get an acrylic gel fill on my nails. I usually go to a nail salon in Shrewsbury but since I was getting a spray tan right next to Nail Art I decided to go there instead. I called first and asked what they charged and they told me $ 25 which I thought was great because that’s what my other nail place charges. I walked in to a dirty and unwelcoming salon. The nail artist, I do not remember her name, barely even said hello and I was shocked when I went to pay and they told me $ 45. I specifically called ahead because I only had $ 40 with me and they do not accept credit card. When I told them that they told me the wrong price on the phone they started saying very loudly that I was wrong and that they added a shellac manicure so they charged $ 20 EXTRA for the fill. I asked for a gel fill, not a shellac manicure on top of a fill. I was angry and embarrassed because everyone in the store heard them berating me about the price. On top of all that my nails chipped the NEXT day. Isn’t that the whole reason people get gel so they won’t chip??? Safe to say I will never go back there.

Today was the first and last time that I will go to this nail salon. My friend and I scheduled appointments in advance for pedicures. Our appointment was at 6;30 and I did not know the salon was closing by 7:00. The pedicure was awful!!! It took all of 15 mins to do!!! I basically paid for a polish change and a foot wash. While we were drying the owner asked us to pay because they were closing. I felt completely rushed and I did not get what I paid for.

First and foremost, you can’t please everyone… these people do a nice job and are friendly and accomodating… it may take a few visits for them to warm up, but they will. I find PIlar to be extremely nice, and don’t think it’s fair to hate on her… hey, we all have our good and bad days… people in business are no exception. The prices are very fair, if you have objections, go to keyport or hazlet or out to route 36. I have come to know Veronica, Pilar, Jenny, Jennifer and Young. Very nice people, Yes, agreed it could be cleaner… so they lost a ‘star’ for that. I have found their pedicures to be average to above, but their shellac manicures are perfect!

i’ve been here twice. the first time i didn’t realize it was cash only. a basic manicure is $ 12 which was exactly what i had in my wallet. after profusely apologizing that i wouldn’t be able to tip, the owner repeatedly told me it was ok, no problem. i came back the next day to give a tip. as i was getting my nails done (by the owner since he was free) he kept answering the phone during the service which was annoying… but the nice thing is that they knew most of the regulars by name, and would greet them by their first name as they walked in the door. they were very friendly. i came a second time and the girl was actively trying to make small talk, which shows effort. this place is close to my house, so i’ll def be back again… i’ll update if i get superior (or terrible) service.
they take walk-​ins, which i like.

I received a pedicure from nail tech, Pilar. She did a nice job however, she appeared disinterested, was not welcoming, and the massage on my feet and legs could of been longer. This was the first time trying this salon and will not go back. Also, the salon could be cleaner and the nail tech’s instruments were just sitting on the floor in a basket not sterilized. In addition, they only accept cash or check which I find to be an inconvenience.
