Generally a very good wax - the therapist asked about temperature of the wax, pain and was very thorough. My only concern was the use of one dip stick throughout, this doesn’t strike me as very hygienic
I don’t usually write reviews, but I came away feeling very upset from this appointment, the opposite of how you should be feeling when you get your nails done.
Where do I start? I was in the salon for one hour and a half when it should have been 40 minutes. There’s only so much Latino YouTube clips I can take before I’m bored. I had three different ladies work on my nails in that time and sadly after all this time, the polish was ruined as soon as I was home, despite my hands sitting under the dryer for what felt like a lifetime.
When asked how I wanted my nails, I said round but wasn’t aware of the squoval, and now knowing all the names can tell you what I started getting was more of a stiletto, anyway.
The part that I disliked the most about this treatment was how I was treated. I was constantly told to relax (my hand), and had so many negative comments about the state of my nails, the lengths of them, how difficult it was to work with because of the way they were growing out, and how thin they were (because of a treatment someone else did). And I was made to feel judged by wanting to keep those long, long (it’s taken me a great length to grow these, respect my decision!).
Even though my shellac was 100% CND shellac too, they claimed it was something else because their removing solvent couldn’t easily remove the polish and scraped it off instead — which wouldn’t have been good for the nail.
They were hospitable in terms of offering me tea, coffee and water and taking my coat, and giving me bowl for my rings, and they liked to keep things tidy, so i’ll give them that, but the confidence I lacked after the treatment was not worth returning for.
