Booked in for gel removal and reapplication on fingers and toes. Have been before and had a good experience so came back because of this and good value as I wanted my nails doing for my holiday (tomorrow). The nail tech was different to the one I had the first time.
Fingers went well and they look nice. Toes are where the problem started. She was very rough and abrasive with pushing my cuticles back which hurt. Then she used the sanding-type instrument and ended up shaving away some of the skin on my big toe where the cuticle was, which then made my big toe bleed. She insisted my toe wasn’t bleeding and when she put some gel primer on it started to burn intensely, which is when I told her to stop. She didn’t seem to be taking me seriously when I was saying stop. She tried to spray some disinfectant on my toes which would have made it even worse! Luckily she stopped and eventually I was given a refund for the toenail gels (which she was initially going to charge me £5 for despite what happened!)
Really wasn’t expecting something like this to happen and it’s left me quite distressed for my holiday tomorrow. Will not be returning.
Got BSC + Chest done. Emma is really lovely. She made me comfortable and talked me through what she was doing. Did not rush it mostly. But the hot wax for sack, was insanely hot. I mentioned a few times, that it feels weird every time she applied it and could not put my finger on what was not right. My sack was completed with very hot wax and then was switched back to strip wax. I only realised it next morning that I have got burn marks and scars across my sack and lower shaft, when I went for a warm shower. I’ve had BSC done for over 2 years now. First time here and first time it felt so stingy and painful. But for the right reasons - hot wax pulled skin off as it burned my sack. If you go here for waxing your jewels, please opt for strip wax, the hot wax is meant to be hot but not burn your balls. Overall, won’t dare to go back as pain of waxing is different but burn is not my cup of tea. Also, they do double dip that is use same sticks to dip in wax pot again a few times. Most salons would use it only once especially when doing BSC. If that bothers you, probably pay more somewhere else. For the price, the job was ok barring my scarred private parts. I have tiny bit of hair here and there but that’s not too much of a bother.
My lashes are really nice. Lowkey wish they were a bit more fuller but besides that I love them. Lienne was really nice and made me feel comfortable & she did such a great job!
