I have been here 3 times. First time was ok. Second time was great! Third time made me never go back. There is one older gentleman there that is terrible. Tore off my natural nail and offered to put a tip on it. Took off my dip improperly causing the damaging. I have natural nails that I use dip to strengthen them. He literally used a fake nail to rip the dip off instead of soaking them off. I will never trust this place again. Be very careful and do not the the older guy touch your nails! Before and what I had to settle for pictures below. I also had to go to another shop less than two weeks later because the dip he did was already chipping! You can see how long my natural was with clear over it and then how short they were cut down to match his damage.
