I’m very disappointed with the service and customer care at Adara Beauty Lounge (Centrale, Croydon).
I went in on a Saturday to have my nails cleaned and redone with gel. The manager briefly applied a nail cleaner and left me waiting far longer than usual. The whole process was done manually — no electric tools were used apart from the curing lamp — and it took nearly an hour, in an open, cold area.
At first, my nails looked just okay, but within days the polish started lifting, and air got under the surface, making the tips lighter. By Thursday, one nail had already chipped, even though I do not do manual work.
When I returned the following Saturday, the manager only offered to fix two nails and refused a refund or proper repair, claiming she only does fixes within three days — completely unreasonable for £38 gel nails meant to last 3–4 weeks.
No apology, no care, and no accountability. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this salon.
