L a Nails in Surfside Beach, SC

It doesn't matter if you have an appointment or not you're going to wait. $30 for a crappy pedicure it's not my idea of a nail salon. Try asking them to cut your nails short. They don't know the meaning of the word They keep them long so you come back once a week and God forbid you don't get gel they yell at you. I am done.. It's close to my house so I've wasted 5 times,  but I will never ever ever ever be back..

I was going to this salon for a couple of months. I never felt like it was home, but that's ok.  I was going to Julie because I like to get a design on my nails and she was the tech that did that. I remember her telling me that people were posting negative reviews online about them and that they were fake.  I believed her then since I was new there but now I KNOW they were probably legit.  
The first time I went I was thrilled. Julie is fast at fill ins and she did a design for me as well I was in and out in 40 mins. It was the best price around I, I believe the first time was $35. I asked for a standing appointment and was going every two weeks. Each time I went the price went up $5.  I always get a design so I asked her why is it more expensive for the same thing? She said because if you use two colors it costs more. I said painting one or two nails another color doesn't use a whole bottle of polish to charge an extra $5. She claimed it took more time.  Ok   Every time I go I get a design. Each time she would seem annoyed that I wanted one. If you don't want to do designs, don't advertise it in your window!

Julie always rushed me and often kept me waiting. Once she even stopped doing my nails to paint designs on someone else's nails. She answers the phone so you have to wait on her for that.  When a regular comes in she will pause your fill in while she sits there and talks to them. I've sat patiently through all of these issues,  but when u start talking to me about your time and charging me extra to paint two nails a different color because it takes u longer, I don't appreciate that. I pay for the design, for the fill in and leave a good tip, I think I deserve the time I paid for and the service I paid for without an attitude.   They don'y care about their customers because when I told her this she told me there are other nail salons around.  You're 100% right Julie. I advise anyone reading this to take her advice!

By The way, when I broke a nail I had the same experience as Keeley who posted about the burning when you hold it to the heat.  Julie said oh I "forgot" to tell you not to hold it too close to the heat because it's a new nail " then banged it with a brush until the pain subsided. If you ask me, I don't think she forgot I think she was annoyed and purposely didn't mention it.  I also got charged to fix it.

I was a walk in last thursday to get nails for my 21st birthday and for my trip to nashville. When i showed the nail tech (which i believe was the owner) the design that i wanted she laughed and said "we will try our best". Granted i've gotten these nails done before at another salon and had no side comments. I got to sit down almost immediately and had a man doing my nails and then i switched back to the lady nail tech for the design. she did the white on my nails but when she added the black lines on top i realized i didn't like the design so i asked her to change them. And she got the biggest attitude with me "why did you not tell me that before" "your keeping my appointment waiting". They claim to do full sets for cheap but my nails were $70 but i was fine too it's it, because i ended up with what i wanted.

Then, not even a week later my nail breaks off right where the tip is glued on. I called the salon yesterday and explained the situation and asked if i cohoe come in first thing the next morning, since i is as leaving for my trip very early the next day and she told me i needed to come in at 11 or 12 and i proceeded to tell her that i couldn't do that because i go to work at 10:30. So i get there this morning right at opening and i waited for 15 minutes which was fine. Then i sit down in the chair and she says "you do know this is going to be $8, it's not free" and I said why's that? I haven't even had them on for a week. And she proceeded to tell me that this isn't a fill and that she has to redo my whole nail and the design so i just agreed because i wanted it fixed. She then angrily takes off the left over acrylic on my nail and makes it bleed. And proceeds to put nail glue on it to stop the bleeding!!! After my nail has acrylic on it, I put it next to a heater and a horrible burning sensation happened. I asked her to remove the nail and she started hitting it w the end of a brush, which did make it feel better but it was almost like she was expecting that to happen....

Moral of the story. For the money i paid my experience was horrible. I do love my nails but this is the soul reason that i don't get them done at salons because of places like this. I would recommend going to get press ons from walmart before giving this place business!! they usually last a whole week unlike my nail!!!!!

I just had a pedicure by a gentleman which was completed very quickly and was one of the worst pedicures I've ever had. Cuticles where done horribly and the nail polish is bubbled and all over the toes, polish not even on the nails and all over skin. Would not recommend this salon what so ever. Don't waste your money!

I was a walk in for a toe nail polish change and they said 30 minutes which I was fine with. After 15 minutes I was rushed back and was maybe in the chair for 10. He rushed me through, buffed more of my toes than my actual nails and he cut my nails way too short and uneven where it is still painful to walk days later. I understand I was a walk in but I was happy to wait and instead felt rushed and now my nails look awful. Don't take walk ins if you can't actually give them your attention.
