AVOID!
I went in with a gel manicure on that needed taken off. Instead of using foils and waiting for the polish to loosen from the nail, the manicurist was obviously in a rush and used what can only be described as a spiked metal drill (not for use on natural nails) to file of the polish and in turn filing down my nails so they were very thin and weak. she also cut the skin so it bled on 2 fingers.
they are usually very thick and strong and never break, since i had this done 6 days ago, 4 have so far snapped off, right down at the nail bed, painfully.
I've had to cut all my nails off to the shortest possible.
God knows how long they will take to recover.
I trusted she knew what she was doing, but for the time being she has totally ruined my nails.
Very pleased with my experience. Friendly staff, quick and easy job. The only thing I have to say is that I would have preferred hot wax (rather than strip wax), but I asked my beautician and she said it was coming soon. Will defo come back!
