Pamela's Photography in Tulsa, OK

TERRIBLE. i went here with my mom to go abd get acrylics, the nails are.. okay? BUT WHAT SHE TALKS ABOUT. i thought it was going to be okay at first, then she started getting very "christian" too much.. she started talking about how if you got a covid test, your brain connects to 5 g and the devil has control of you, she has multiple notebooks and kept pulling them out to talk about how trump is connected to the devil and how the world is gonna end and just it was crazy, she doesnt beleive in covid either.. its also very unsanitary.. AND she said she had been doing this for years but it looks like i did it myself.. i wont EVER come back here with the unsanitary and all of her conspiracy theries its just too much.. DONT COME HERE DONT LET THE PRICE FOOL YOU

We went in to get a set of acrylics since we found her on Groupon and it seemed like a great deal we walked in and that place was dirty and small and unsanitary we waited 20 minutes past our appointment time while she finished another client as I sat down my mom calmly asked her "can you please wear a mask" and snippily said "MA'AM THIS IS MY SHOP I DON'T HAVE TO WEAR A MASK" so my mom and I got up and left can't review the quality of the nails since I didn't actually get them done

Well I went with my daughter first time going and I love the job that she did she didn't rush  and my daughter loved the art design she did on her nails and the price wasn't bad at all and we going back tO see her in 2 weeks!

I don't normally do reviews on small businesses because I understand how harmful it could be to someone's income however this one had to be the exception. Pamela was kind and I could tell running a business alone was rough but there's just some things that are unacceptable. I had gotten a Groupon for shellac manicure & pedicure so I know I couldn't complain much for the price but I still expect customer service to be the same. As soon as i walked in the place, the building smelled like cats-no shade to people who have them, I just wouldn't expect a nail salon to smell like one. She didn't have the color I wanted which again, no big deal because I figured she may not have a lot of people who get it. During the pedicure, majority of the time was her spent texting on her phone. Her utensils weren't sterilized and if they were cleaned regularly I wasn't able to tell where at in the space she had in the back. The nail job came out decent aside from left over polish I saw on the side of my toes. She was quite rough though and didn't let up as I said something.

On to the manicure-again I didn't see any sterilized utensils or a machine so it solidified my earlier observation from the manicure. She was rough again with my fingers and didn't take the delicacy I expected with a manicure. I was trying to give her grace on it because she may have had a rough day or busy day but then the shellac polish came-and I didn't like it. They're bumpy, rushed, and she didn't really take time to make sure all of my nails were even. Although I'm naturally analytical, there's no reason an extra 5 minutes couldn't of been taken to make sure they looked good. She also never really asked if I liked them, just told me I was done.

I'm not sure if she's this way with all new people but I just hope it gets better.

I bought the Shellac Mani w/ regular Pedi Groupon. I went in with pretty good expectations. She seemed like she had been practicing awhile, and I was genuinely excited to go see her. When I walked in, I was greeted by heat, chaos, and then I noticed she was on the left, working on her computer. She looked up a few seconds later. Not the best first impression, but I was still optimistic. After we chose colors, she took me to the back where the pedicure station was. Everything seemed fine, but I was under the impression I would be getting a full service pedicure. My feet were soaked in water, then she picked my cuticles (no product was put on them to soften them up first, so a lot of them bled). Then she put some lotion stuff on that got dead skin off. When she was done with each foot, she just shook the dead skin from the towel into the garbage, and proceeded to use the same towel for my other foot (where I could clearly see the dead skin that was left over from the "shake". She rubbed my foot with the callus remover, but she didn't do my toes. Then she put some lotion on each foot and gave a massage for about 15-20 seconds. And that was it. And throughout the whole pedicure, she held my feet so awkwardly, so that I had to hold them up. Not very relaxing. The paint job she did on my toes was mediocre. Not horrible. Not great.
Now onto the manicure. Again, my cuticles were soaked in water and something bubbly, but they weren't softened by the time she started ripping them off. I'm not nice to my cuticles myself, but I do expect my manicurist to be. All of the tools she used were very old. I could see the leftovers on the towels that she must've used from previous customers. She proceeded to do my shellac. She didn't do a bad job. Again, not great, but not bad. But after she was done with painting my nails she said I was done. There was no lotion, no hand massage, nothing. I left very unimpressed. Like I wasted my money. Even though it was already discounted from Groupon. I'm not sure if I received worse service because of my groupon purchase, but I was very disenchanted. I was under the impression that the appointment would be 1.5 hours, and by the time we got started and finished, it was maybe an hour. I will not be going back. This is the worst mani/pedi I've ever received (and it's not the cheapest I've had).
