Spa Belles Choice

I always try and be fair and find at least one positive thing about each place I visit and not just write about places I super love and places I super dislike. However I have to say, without a doubt, there was nothing positive about this place. It is by far the WORST manicure and pedicure I have ever had.
In the past I have visited spa belles and been happy with the results. However, the place recently changed management. I assumed that everything would be fine since in the past I have had a fine experience.
I can say without a doubt this place is the worst. I came in for a standard pedicure and manicure. I was assigned a young aesthetician who clearly didn’t know what he was doing. The water was too hot and despite me explaining to not buff my nails because my nail beds are weak, he insisted on doing so. Also rather than cut my cuticle, he pretty much would tear at therm with short little jerks. My cuticle on my right hand began to bleed and I asked for a new aesthetician and was told no one was available. I asked for a simple french manicure, but instead of the traditional white, I chose a bright color for the stripe. Super easy. However, the aesthetician was completely perplexed by this and at first didn’t want to do it and when he finally did agree, he used Nailtiques rather than a good sticky based. I asked for the sticky base and was told Nailtiques was the base coat which was annoying because while it strengthens your nails it is not a good base coat as it doesn’t the hold color properly.
The injustices continued on — the aesthetician decided to use a thick paint brush for the stripe rather than the proper french manicure thin brush. Since this causes the nail polish to bubble, he had to put acetone on my nails to remove the polish and start over again. So now in addition to a bleeding cuticle I have dried out nails from multiple swipes of acetone.
Finally, seeing that her employee was struggling, the brusque manager came over and began to huffily do my nails. She actually had to wipe my nails with acetone and start over since the previous guy had done my nails so streaky. My nails were barely coated with the base, they rushed to finish and then slapped on top coat so thickly my polish bubbled during the drying phase. The worst part was tht the aestheticians kept coming over to look at my nails and then argue amongst one another. I was put under a dryer that had a broken uv bulb. Terrible service, my nails chipped within 24 hours and I have a small tear on my cuticle. STAY AWAY!
