my nails are so cute, i did tap gel. however i feel like they were very rushed. the guy did no cuticle work and when i really look at them they look outgrown, mind you i paid 100$ and some change, it was originally 90, but i had tipped 10.

I had such a great experience! I got a signature pedicure and Tim did a wonderful job. He listened and picked the exact color I wanted. He was a fun conversationalist and I enjoyed our talk. I didn't have any idea what I wanted for my nails but knew I didn't want them thick and wanted them neon. Julie knew exactly what I needed. She came up with the design on her own and picked out the perfect colors. I highly recommend her. My stepdaughter got classic white for her pedicure and manicure with Tiffany and said it was the best her nails have ever looked. She was so happy.
