I was seen by two ladies, the first took the skin off around my toes (which she did very slowly) and the second was responsible for shaping my nails and all the painting.
The second lady took far too long to complete the job. She blamed it on my cuticles (??) and said there was a lot of work to be done. She cut two of my cuticles deeply and they started to bleed. She kept apologising.
It felt like she was new to the job.
On a few occasions she did not know which tool to use and I had to pick one out of the pot and hand it to her suggestively. She asked me whether I wanted curved nails or square. I asked for in between the two. She proceeded to square them all off. At no point did I ask for squared off nails.
On to the painting. There were a few mistakes made where she had to keep starting again. By this point I was fuming.
As Shellac users know, once the polish has been set under the UV, it's a bit of hassle to remove and re-apply and the entire appointment had taken SUCH a long time, by now I was really losing my patience (without showing it).
During the entire appointment, all the workers proceeded to speak and have a laugh with each other in their native language. As a British ethnic minority myself, I find this very rude indeed, especially when one of the girls came over with her phone and showed the lady who was doing my nails a video.
Feet and nail Shellac took 3 hours all in all (it takes me an hour everywhere else including cuticle work) and to add insult to injury, I was asked to write in their comments and suggestions book at the end of the appointment to which I declined politely and got the hell out of there quickly.
Will be going back for more treatments!
