1 /5 Kimmy Babe: I’ve been to this nail salon once or twice in the past, but my most recent experience was simply awful. I wanted holiday nails before christmas for a gel manicure and was unhappy from start to finish.
The technician I was assigned to, Shani, was very unprofessional and lacked basic attention to detail. Her personal appearance and hygiene were concerning and made the experience uncomfortable from the outset. She had ear wax coming out of her ears and thick chunks of dandruff visibly showing in her hair. Still I did not allow this to change my judgement. However during the manicure, gel polish was left all over my skin and not cleaned up properly. The application itself was poor the sides of several nails were missed completely, and I had to repeatedly point out obvious mistakes and keep explaining again and again the design I wanted because she wouldnt remember. It was only until I came home after I noticed she missed the sides out.
Unfortunately, I had already booked a pedicure a few days later and was given the same technician again! What a nightmare! Once again, the service did not meet even basic expectations, and I felt uncomfortable with the lack of care and professionalism.
The worst part is that within just two days, my gel manicure fully peeled off. For something that is meant to last weeks, this is completely unacceptable. I’ve attached photos to show how badly the nails deteriorated in such a short time.
In total, I spent around £60 at this salon, only for my nails to chip and peel almost immediately. This suggests very low-quality products and poor technique.
I won’t be returning, even for a fix or replacement it’s simply not worth the effort or time, especially as I don’t live nearby. I would strongly recommend avoiding this salon if you’re looking for professional, long-lasting nail services. The owner needs to invest in better staff if they want repeat customers.
