Bella Nail Lounge and Beauty Bar

Critical: ProfessionalismMy appointment with Armanii on 8/19 was honestly not as expected and a little disturbing. I fell in love with the decor of the place and the handmade products that the salon used. My pedicure was luxurious. However, I am deeply unsatisfied with my results and offended by the way I was treated. When she painted my toes I accepted her suggestion of adding glitter and just asked for an ombre on the big toe, it resulted as more of a french to be honest.Moving on to my powder manicure I expressed my concern that the powder looked to be too thick and I personally prefer to have them shaven down to look more natural. She replied, “If I shave down anymore it’ll be too thin and the powder will break, plus you don’t want it to look like a gel manicure”. I’ve been doing powder manicures for YEARS at other establishments, I expressed that I understood her concern but my personal preference is that I like my powder thinner. She continued to ignore me and said, “Trust me, I do this for a living. It needs to be thick otherwise it’ll break”. At this point I resorted to begging and asked AGAIN if she could PLEASE shave them down a little more because I don’t like the way they look. She became short with me, said that she had a client after me. Then, with an attitude, she turned the nail drill to a higher speed and quickly passed them over my nails as if to appease me. She was rough, and it hurt. I told her to slow down. She again reminded me that she had another client after me then proceeded to wrap up the manicure. At the end she asked, “Are your nails giving you gel manicure vibes?” To which I replied “No. I still think they’re way too thick”. Without a comment she just checked me out.My resulting manicure looked like thick clumps of unshaped powder. I’ve never received a powder manicure that looked like this. I paid for a service, not for the push-back or the unsatisfactory results. I thought I’d give her the benefit of the doubt but after a few comments from friends and coworkers, I realized it wasn’t just me. I truly believe that this visit should not reflect this establishment as a whole, I think I just had a terrible experience. I’m writing this review not to deter future clientele (I highly encourage giving patronage to this black-owned business to see if it’s different for you) but to alert management that this should not have happened.Services: Pedicure, ManicureMy appointment with Armanii on 8/19 was honestly not as expected and a little disturbing.
