Gossip & co nail spa

Critical: Quality, ValueI was one of Gossip’s very first customers when they opened a few years ago, and have rated them five stars in the past. However, I’m unbelievably disappointed with my most recent experience. While I have been out of the acrylic game for a little over a year (mostly due to the pandemic), never would I think that the price for a set of acrylics would have DOUBLED in price since my last visit. If you find my previous review, I have gone plenty of times and received a pedicure and full set for around $80 (that’s with tip). Today, I received service from a man named “King” who told me that the price for acrylic was $37 dollars, tips would be $10 (tips are usually included in a full set), and that shellac overlay would be an additional $13 – so a full set put me back $60!! When I asked King what happened to the $30 sets, he said he’s been working there for two years and that’s never been the price (which is a lie). Now, while that is crazy steep IMO, I went ahead with it as I had been a previous customer of Gossip and thought I would get quality work. However, my nails have come out thick, uneven, bulky around the nail bed, and I can tell they will likely not last the amount of time they should for $60. And it wasn’t even the shoddy job that got to me the most…it was the pushy car sales man tactic that King used. He actually told me that if I chose to not get shellac it would take an HOUR for my nails to dry with regular polish (I originally wanted just an acrylic set with reg polish as I like to change my polish up every week or so). Now, I have been doing my nails longer than I have not…and never once in my life has it taken an hour for nails to dry. I felt like he rushed the job and then felt pressured into a more expensive option as I did not want to sit at a drying station for that long during a pandemic. I will never be returning to Gossip after this experience.Services: Manicure, PedicureI was one of Gossip’s very first customers when they opened a few years ago, and have rated them five stars in the past.
