I didn’t see any cleaning / sterilising going on between treatments of the foot file or nail files or clippers. I had a natural pedicure/ manicure with no gel, regular polish. The tech used an electronic machine to remove my cuticles which I have only ever seen used when removing acrylics or gels. He then sanded down my nail, I wish I’d stoped him but I didn’t really know what was going on. My nails are now rough and I’m worried about long term damage. 4 of my cuticles ended up bleeding.
I normally like to give places a fair chance, but I honestly wish I hadn’t bothered this time. Within 24 hours, 2 of my gel nails had broken because they had been handled so roughly during the removal process that they became very weak. The cuticle work was also very poor, and the colour selection was disappointing, with both of my preferred choices unavailable. I should have asked for my money back at the time.
