I came intrigued by the intricate designs they do and the special they offered for hands and feet. I went the 1st time. Got the offer. Loved it. I made a 2nd appointment and specified in the text I wanted the special offer, they said ok. After I'm finished what was supposed to be I think around $30 comes out to like $55 because "the special offer is only for new customers." Well then... she shouldve specified that in the text for the appointment where she clearly agreed to my request. The ladies were all very nice so far, I liked my nails, and I don't like confrontation so I payed and left to take cash out to tip the nail tech who assisted me. First of all... they flat out tell you to your face how much tip they expect from you... she told me she takes $10 tip. Tip is something the customer should decide on, as well as the amount, depending on how well of a job you think they did.. right? Ive never in my life experienced this at any nail salon. Weird and uncomfortable. She literally wrote down the amount she expects from me and circled it. So this is all very bizarre, I went out, struggling to find a place to take cash out, so I went home quickly to get cash I had in my room since I live close by. As I'm approaching the nail salon with her tip I recieve a text from the nail tech that assisted me, saying I can easily tip her the $10 through venmo if I need to... Mind you, in the nail salon they already made it very clear to me that I can venmo tip, but I chose to go take cash out because I don't have venmo. I finally got there, gave her her tip and left. This was a very strange experience, and I didn't feel comfortable returning. Texting a new client at their personal number asking for tip is just too far/unprofessional in my opinion. The ladies are all very sweet, but the prices are a bit high for the service in my op. They don't have water pedis either. If you want a great affordable salon go to the Fast Nails on 137th & 96th st! Love them so much. Sweet ladies.
