Hollywood II Nail Salon

I’ve been going to this nail salon for about 3 months now and have had my nails done by Hanna every 2 weeks (acrylics). Since day 1 she has done an amazing job. I am very particular with shape and style and everytime she takes her time to perfect the look I am going for. She is a gem and an asset to the nail tech industry!!!

So I went here a few years ago and they didn’t do well. They refused to do
A gel pedicure. and they didn’t take off the tack on my gel. so it stayed wet for an hour.
Then the other day I went. It took them 3 hours from my friends simple, red mani/​pedi. My mani/​pedi don’t match. Took her four times painting my nails and taking it off and re-​painting. They couldn’t do any gem designs and two days later my nails broke. Let me add my pinkie nails are over dramatically shorter than the rest.

I went to Hollywood II after reading the other 2 reviews. I asked for a pedicure and gel manicure. For the pedicure, the lady clipped my nails without asking and then didn’t file them; she barely did anything and then polished them. They were polished fine, but very jagged on the edges. For the gel manicure, she literally cut the skin around the sides of my fingers, beyond the cuticles. I don’t have a lot of cuticles because I get manicures regularly. She left my fingers almost bleeding from cutting where she shouldn’t have. She polished them, but she didn’t let the gel set after each application. She completed her layers and then put my hands under the ultraviolet light to set once she was finished. Unfortunately, this gel manicure didn’t last even a week, even though I paid the same for it at this salon as everywhere else. Very poor work, and I won’t be going back.

I got a giftcard for Hollywood II for my anniversary and I went and loved it! The environment is very relaxed and everyone was very friendly. No overwhelming toxic smell as you walk in to the salon which is a big plus. My pedicure lasted for nearly one month. Very impressed!

I go to Helen at Hollywood II for my pedicures and let me tell you, she does the BEST PEDICURE EVER! Most of the time, I get a French pedi, and it lasts every bit of two weeks. I had to go out of town and I went to another nail salon that was closer, and my pedicure chipped after like 4 days. Next time I’ll just make sure that I’m able to get in to see Helen before I leave.
