DNA Nails in Pontiac, IL

I moved to the area a year and a half ago and tried this salon shortly after moving in. I wasn't entirely pleased but it wasn't the worst experience I've had. I couldn't make it back to my normal place today and wanted to get my nails done, so I tried it again. Bad idea!!! I got a no chip manicure and pedicure. My toenails were not cleaned underneath them as I had done some gardening earlier this week. I cleaned them the best I could, but usually they get the rest when I get a pedicure. He did not. I did it myself before he applied the polish. (I had no chip polish on before and didn't want to ruin it by digging in the crease between mail and skin). Other than that, it was a decent pedicure. Time came for my nails and that's where it went to crap! I chose an OPI color for both hands and toes. I did that on purpose because it seems to last longer than some of the other brands out there. They did not use OPI product. The man put two coats of polish on my hands and it looked watered down. I asked why it didn't match the color on my toes and he said, it does. I showed him and said, no it doesn't! I can see right through my polish. A lady came over and they spoke another language to each other and then he applied two more coats, over the top coat. I can still see right through the tips of my nails! Another guy came by and said, sorry this is a new brand and it's no good. He says, I'm going to throw it away after you. What??!! It's garbage but I have to pay $106 for a job with crap polish!! Very unhappy! He should have asked if I wanted to pick another color or continued to add coats until it was the correct color and not translucent! Won't be going back.

It should be 0 stars It's been two weeks since I went last. It has been the WORST JOB EVER. Nail fell off several nails had color peel off. And it it actually happened last week when I had only had them for 5.5 days and slowly got worse. Let's back up a bit... So Halloween a friend and I went for full sets. I was started first and ended last. They didn't push back cuticles, or trim natural nails down. Then it was $5 for a specific shape and it was never like that before. My tech couldn't even do the shape of almond. And then I had a lot of left over build up underneath my nails. They said that happens and could not remove it because it had harden. Not happy. My friend's nails were down out ok.. Now two weeks later, I'm missing a nail, had several peel off from color, cuticles are gross because again they never addressed them. Still have the build up they never fixed. I even said something and they didn't address it. It used to be hit or miss and mostly good, now the last two times have been crappy for $50 nail fills. I will not recommend them to anyone, nor will I go back. Dwight has a new place that one time fixed another crappy nail job from here. Guess I didn't learn my lesson until now.

Got my nails done here and am so happy The staff is friendly and respectful. Going to keep going back.

I couldn't decide on a color so they suggested a new thing they were doing it was Jill black and then they put a color over it and use magnets to make it swirled together it was very odd very expensive and I didn't like it

They are so kind and welcoming! They always do what you want done (within their abilities ) and may even give suggestions! They are super friendly and overall good people. Love it here!
