My partner and I went to get our nails done and it was nice that they took us right away, especially because it was already later in the evening. BUT I got acrylic nails for the first time and did NOT have a good experience at all. They took an hour and half to leave my fingers throbbing and my cuticles bleeding (not even exaggerating). To make matters worse, it was the manager who did them (well, took over when the nice, gentle woman was shooed out of her spot). The manager was rough, rude and had an odd overuse of the nail drill (hence cutting my skin open on half my fingers). She continued to work as my fingers bled and didn’t even apologize once. They were reluctant to give me a discount and I eventually got 5% off (TRASH)! The male who works there was so kind when we first arrived, but changed his whole demeanour and attitude when he could see I was uncomfortable and then complaining. I asked him for the discount and at first he said no. Then I asked to talk to the manager and that’s how I discovered the lady working on my nails WAS the manager. Unreal.
Weeks later (I was not comfortable going to a salon again for a while), I went to get them off and let my nails heal and I went to Selkirk Nails and they were absolutely AMAZING - and they even asked me where I got my nails done previously. They had a really hard time getting my overly thick nails off and couldn’t even get all of them completely removed because of how insane they were done. I will not be back and would not recommend Unique nails, unless you want a uniquely terrible experience. Selkirk Nails on the other hand ? well done.
