Very average and painful manicure. Okay so I have been to multiple salons, some pretty and others very dull looking, this one looks fab but I have never had anybody pull on my cuticles without dipping my fingers in water or using a cuticle softener. I have a little bleeding on my index finger and when questioned I was told that they don’t use anything on nails for cuticle removal in case shellac manicure as they need to keep the Nails dry to make it last! I have never heard of this and never experienced this torture either where a cuticle scraper and the metal scissor like instrument is used in dry nails. Needless to say the experience is unpleasant and I have a little blood passing from corners of my skin around nails. It’s going to be sore for a few days. Luckily I had chosen a berry nail shade so it doesn’t look that bad. But m not going to blo bar again for sure !
