Nail Creations

I have never left a review anywhere, I also have not had my nails done in a salon for years. But I am getting married this Friday so I thought I would treat myself. This is the final product….. I’m not one to complain but there is dust from filing the nail ON THE NAILS?? They also did a horrible job with the cuticles and I had to ask 3 times for them to file down the sides of the nails. They went from denying seeing any dust, to stating it was from the fan, to even go as far as to tell me I’m wrong and they have been doing this for 25 years. No money off for the horrible job, not even an I’m sorry. Don’t waste your time or money going here, they rushed through it the entire time because they closed at 7 and were done with me at 6:35.

DO NOT GO HERE! Place was empty, man and woman working. Cheap Prices. Decided to try a new place. Huge mistake. We wanted two pedicures and I wanted a gel manicure. The woman rushed my gf to pick her color and sit down. I assumed we were getting pedicures at the same time because that’s how it usually worked. Then I’d get my manicure. By the time I picked my toe color- (I was getting regular on my toes and black gel on my fingers) My gf was already getting her toes painted. No washing the feet. No massage. The woman was working on her and told me to sit next to her. The man was eating lunch. (That’s fine people need to eat) the chairs were from The 80’s. Worn out and didn’t work. Didn’t fill up my tub for my feet to soak. The guy finished and comes over and gets me. Now I’m annoyed because I know now my gf and I aren’t getting pedicures together. My manicure was him filing my nails. Then he MICROWAVED THE NAIL POLISH??? And just started painting. The UV boxes were sooo old. I wish I had a pic. Dirty, yellow. And they did NOT cure my nails. I’ll get to that in a second. My gf was done so I told them I didn’t need the pedicure. I was already skeeved. And didn’t think it was worth it at this point. Again with my manicure, no massage no soaking. He had the longest pointiest thumb nails I have ever seen. He was using them to pull my skin back from nail to paint them and aside from being gross it was painful. We RAN out. Agreed never again. However. Three hours later I go home. I’m washing dishes, cooking dinner, I realize my nails are bubbling up. The first layer on my pointer finger was completely peeled. It was wet underneath. It was clear to me they weren’t cured. (UV lights were prob not the correct wattage) I called my daughter who’s a certified nail tech in Philly and was showing her and she agreed they weren’t cured. And said the microwaving the nail polish was prob bc it was old and it poor quality. She also said I couldn’t wait until Tuesday to go in like I planned, (I was going to go in and ask Them to soak off for free bc they were all wet, peeling and sticky) because it was very risky for contact dermatitis. So for the first time in 25 years of getting my nails done I had to go get acetone and soak them off myself within 4 hours of getting them. I have had to soak off my own before- after a month because I wasn’t getting them done again and it took so long. These soaked off within MINUTES. So don’t be like us. Read the reviews on places because their lack of cleanliness and weird practices had already been written, we just didn’t read it.

I don’t typically write reviews… I decided to try this place based on reading many good reviews. While I do think the prices were very reasonable, I am concerned about the cleanliness. The place did not appear to be clean and nothing they used on my feet appeared to be sterilized between customers. They did not wash my feet. They did not spend any time removing any dead skin or callus from the bottom of feet. They applied lotion very quickly and no real massage and did not wear gloves (guess that’s a personal choice though) I also thought it was odd they put the nail polish in a mug in the microwave before applying it to my toes… I thought that was usual. I had gone right from work so I had sneakers on. They didn’t offer me the throw away flip flops so just make sure if you plan to go to wear or bring flip flops. As mentioned my biggest concern was cleanliness… the place was carpeted and seemed outdated (fine) but I can’t settle on a place that doesn’t feel clean no matter how reasonably priced they are.

This was a very sketchy place, seemed very unclean compared to other salons I’ve been to. I’ve never had any reactions on my fingers at other places but after this place my fingers are getting itchy and on the verge of contact dermatitis from uncleanliness. The nails were also not professional, the tips were peeling off before the acrylic went on. The nail polish or acrylic did not go to the edges. Some of the tips went past the nail beds. They also weren’t very friendly. I do not recommend.

This is my go to place for nails. Always good service. Yes, it’s small, but I like that the same people are working there each time. (Going on about 5 years now.) Only downside is that it’s not very visible, you’ve got to know where to look.
