1 For My Nails in Midvale, UT

If I could give no stars I would. This place is so rude and lazy. I walk in around 6:15-6:20 pm to get a fill not a new set. Fills take around 30-45 min so as I walk in I notice a male employee doing a pedicure on one customer, the only customer in there. So I thought great I won't have to wait long. He asks what I needed done I said a fill, he says they don't have time. On Google it clearly says they close at 8pm as well as it is in the sign on their door. So when did they start turning away business? This place will always have a bad reputation with me and all my family and friends. Don't go here.... You won't miss anything.

My daughter came home in tears. She went to have acrylic nails removed and get gels done. Her nails were so damaged that they couldn't put gel on and will take months to heal, They cut completely through the nail in places and they are all so thin and snag on everything. They even charged her full price for destroying her nails.

Bill always does a fantastic job with my gel manicure $35 and I am kind of particular so please consider supporting a small business and check them out.

DO NOT COME TO THIS SALON. If I could give -1 stars I would, it was a crappy experience turned far worse because of their horrible customer service. During the first few minutes of my pedicure, the nail tech was plucking minor hangnails / cuticles and without warning, essentially went fishing in my nail of my big toe and she did not acknowledge even when I repeatedly said ow and expressed pain. It genuinely hurt and immediately I started bleeding quite a bit. I wish I had a photo of the toe at this point. I was obviously concerned and felt like I should stop the pedicure for infection protection (in hindsight, a professional nail tech would have likely demanded it) but nope, and she continued to move forward even though I tried to communicate that I was in pain and worried about continuing with this much blood. The language barrier unfortunately did not help us communicate.

Anyway, I could mention many more minor issues but for brevity's sake, I'll focus on the big stuff. For the exfoliation part, she used a LITERAL CHEESE GRATER and my other foot broke out into a raw rash shortly thereafter. Also, even if I didn't get a rash, my feet were far more cracked and rough after the cheese grater (no surprise). I tried to ask about some of the products and the cleanliness because I felt very unsure of the cleanliness in general, plus feeling very concerned about infection of the toe they ripped apart. I left the salon having paid in full because I was honestly in shock about the experience and didn't want to make a scene with my friend's family that I was there with. TWO HOURS LATER I went to take off the tissue they'd stuck to the bloody, swollen toe and my blood was still fresh. I used a fresh towel to dab away the blood and a bunch of the polish came right off with it -- I couldn't believe that on top of the pain, blood, and rash, the polish somehow wasn't even dry after 2+ hours.

I was  so frustrated, bloody, rash, and in pain and realized I should not pay $50+ dollars for a horrible so called to calmly ask for a refund. I was told to call back on Monday to speak with the manager. I called on Monday and was told the manager actually wasn't coming in that day. I called back the next day to the same message. I finally got irritated and explained the full situation and again, asked for a refund. To say it plainly: I received yelling, angry responses telling me they would not refund me even though it had been 5 days and my toe was still bloody, swollen, red, and inflamed. I never leave super negative reviews but this experience was so unprofessional, unclean, and honestly absurd that I had to share it with you so you know to AVOID THIS PLACE at all costs.

I made a last minute decision to get a gel manicure so I came in to 1 for my nails before shopping at Trader Joe's. They were able to get me in quick with no wait. I showed the nail tech a photo of the color I wanted for my nails which was an opaque nude pink. I asked her to help me find a gel color similar to the photo. She began by filing and shaping my nails then she cut me really bad while cutting my cuticles. I've been cut before but never like this I thought she cut to the bone. She didn't apologize or anything just kept going. The color ended up looking like a clear gloss so I told her I wanted it like the photo which was an opaque pinky nude, not clear at all. So she went and picked another color and added it on top of the layers she already did. It looked better but still not what I wanted. I pay and leave and two days later the gel starts to peel. That is a big no no because I am a hairstylist and once that gel starts to peel  It starts to pull my clients hair out and my own when I shower. I'm used to that happening but it usually doesn't happen for two-three weeks.
