Bliss Nails in Wilmington, DE

I have been getting services from this salon for 5 years and I just love them. They are very professional, clean and peaceful.

Terrible service! Very rude people. It deserves 0 stars. They only care about certain customers and if you are new, you will be treated rudely. I do not recommend tris place.

I have gone to this salon several times because it is within walking distance of my house.  But I am not planning to go back.  There is one really careful and skillful tech there, a young college girl.  I think her American nickname is Amy??? She was good.  

But the last few times, I haven't gotten been able to get her due to her taking more classes now. So I gave other techs a try.  One was new, and I decided not to judge, because everyone has to learn.  But the next time, I got another newbie, and had a similar, disappointing result.  Both times, the techs were fairly unskilled, but not supervised closely.  Both were too aggressive on the buffer (I get gel or dip) and both unable to understand my English enough to communicate what I wanted.  

The third and final time, I got ANOTHER new tech, a woman of Hispanic origin who was fluent in Spanish and English.  But her skills were just not there.  She agreed to do a simple dot pattern, but complained "Your nails are short!  There's not much space!"  It's only dots, so I thought was doable, and certainly I am patient.  She tried and wiped the designs twice.  I stopped her on the third try and told her "Just do the color."  Instead of apologizing or explaining that she is learning, she blamed me, saying "Well, you do have short nails, so designs are not possible for you."  I've always had short nails, and I've had designs many times on them!  Other problems:  Again, too aggro with the buffer, weakening my nails.  Also, the manicure had brush strokes on two nails, wasn't smooth.  She cut one of my fingers during the prep, and admonished me "Hold still!" instead of saying sorry.  I was very upset afterwards, so I paid and didn't complain.  I got home and was made at myself for not sticking up for my nails better.  I won't go back.

I got my acrylics done under a week ago and two of them have broken, one in my sleep and the other when so ran my fingers through my hair, and the polish is peeling off of my other nails. The shape is wonky and the polish is too thick.

I wish I had read the reviews before hand as my experience was like many others.  my manicure was the worst experience.   I asked her specifically not to trim my nails but she did anyway,   she did very rushed and aggressive filing to the point my fingertips were burning in pain.   I had a French manicure so every time I put my nails under the infra red light it was torture.   I let her know I was in pain a few times, but had no response from her.   She continued to file my nails after they were polished, ruining the "French" white lines.   My nails were so painful for days and the gel started to lift the next day,
