Paradise Nails

1 star only because my little girls tech was sweet her. Time management was horrible. We came in for pedicures and sat in the water for 50 min waiting. I would have rathered sat in the waiting chairs until 2 techs were available. My feet were sore from being water logged, it made the pedi uncomfortable

I stopped into this place on a whim looking to get my shellac manicure removed ($ 5) and my nails ($ 7) and toes ($ 12) painted with regular polish. I had to wait ~20−30 minutes as a walk-​in but I didn’t mind as they seemed busy with appointments. The staff is polite but the service is sub-​par. I was asked to soak my nails in acetone for my shellac removal while my toes got painted. However, I don’t think anybody was keeping track of how long my fingers were in the bowl because after a while the shellac on my fingers had shrunken so much that it became painful. I took my nails out of the bowl on my own. I also politely asked the technician to push the cuticles on my toes back a little bit because it tends to grow over the nail. She informed me that doing so would upgrade me to a pedicure for $ 30+! The polish turned out well. However, even after hours (!) of being careful with my nails, they were still getting chipped and dented. It never seemed to dry. I went back the next day and the same technician was happy to repaint my nails at no charge. Overall, the place isn’t *terrible*. I am extremely meticulous with my nails though, and they didn’t give me the results I was looking for. I would only return for a quick polish change if I was in a rush.
Perks:
*Clean
*Walk-​ins accepted

*Small polish selection

I went to Paradise Nails on Friday of last week. It is now Wednesday (5 days have passed). I had asked a coworker if she had any recommendations on where to get nails done in the area. She had said she had heard good things about Paradise Nails so I decided to give it a try.
I came in for a full set of gel nails. When I got my nails done, the woman repeatedly cut me. At first my fingers weren’t bleeding, so instead of watching her, I turned my head toward the television to take my mind off of the pain. When I looked back, four of the fingers on my right hand (everything but the thumb) had blood all around my cuticles. The next time she cut me, on my left hand, I said «Ouch». She took it a little easier then, but I don’t know why I had to say something before she realized that she was cutting me. There was blood all over my hands.
When I went to pay, I noticed she had blood stains from my bleeding all over the inside of her hand as she took my credit card. I had already decided at this point that I wouldn’t be back.
It has now been five days since my manicure and I absolutely would not return. My left thumb nail has completely broken off, my left middle finger and right ring finger have cracks down the middle, and my right pinky finger’s nail is starting to come up around the edges. For the amount that I paid ($ 30) and the pain that I endured, I would expect my nails to last AT LEAST a week. I am beyond disappointed.

Worst manicure I’ve ever had! My cuticles were cut to bleed on several fingers, the polish was NOT cleaned up around the nails and the second coat of polish wasn’t even distributed evenly, so the color looks terrible. There was a reason why there was no wait and not one patron while I was there!

Well I’m 2 for 2 at this place, and I will be going back for more. The chairs are great. nice massaging, and the paint job is great as well. Both times I’ve been there it’s been on a Sunday, and I haven’t had to wait very long. Check them out!
