Excelence Nails

My go-​to, favorite, reliable mail salon. They accommodate walk ins but also take appointments if you want to plan ahead or ensure you get a certain nail tech. I’ve gotten spa pedicures (yep, they have the good massage chairs), regular manicures and gelish/​shellac manicures. I think they do waxing and hair, too, but I’ve never tried it or seen anyone in the part of the salon.
I have never seen a place with so many shellac options– probably at least 50 colors! That’s crazy. My shellac manicures have lasted a full three weeks, which is impressive. For just over 300 pesos, it is totally worth it. Come back and pay 50 pesos when you want it taken off.
Update: I had to update this review because of my terrible manicure today. Like, absolutely awful. My manicurist dinged two of my fingers and when I asked her to fix them, she applied three more coats of polish to one finger without waiting for it to dry. It was so thick it looks really bad and smudged immediately. On the other finger, she removed the previous polish and immediately put on more polish– without washing off any of the nail polish remover. Obviously, it bubbled and looks worse than before!
I’m still on the hunt for a reliable neighborhood nail salon. I still like pedicures and gelish here but I think I’m too frustrated to ever go back.
