Nails on 5th Ave

Critical: Professionalism, QualityDon’t waste your time or money. I called and asked how much an acrylic nail fill would be with regular polish. A woman answered and quoted me $30. So I scheduled an appointment for 5:15pm, because that’s a better price in the area. When I got to my appointment, I was barely greeted and told to pick out polish. The polish color selection was sorely lacking but the salon looked clean. A man named Dominic did my nails, and he didn’t start them until 5:45pm while I just sat and waited. He then proceeded to file my nails for almost a full hour while he filled in the acrylics. My nails didn’t look too bad when I went in, they just needed filled and trimmed a bit but he took it upon himself to cut them down a ton and “thin” them out, and he cut my cuticles in 5 different places (pictures attached). I did a regular manicure instead of gel, I asked for a light pink bottom coat with a shimmer coat on top. He put one coat of each color on my nail, so they’re still transparent and you can completely see through– which I understand happens but an additional coat of each would’ve been nice, especially since I’d been there for 2 HOURS at that point. Then to top it all off, he charged me $37 with tax for the manicure because they “use high quality products” even though the woman who works there quoted me $30. Overall, super unimpressed with my nails and definitely won’t be going back.P.S. I don’t normally review places and really hesitated to with this one because they were nice, you can tell it’s a family run place, and places are struggling with COVID. It was just a really disappointing experience, and I hope they can improve their business so they can survive.Service: ManicureDon’t waste your time or money.
