Love Fashion Nails

Absolutely go elsewhere!!! I've been a regular at this place for over 7 years, but ever since the owner Taylor opened a stunning salon in Bayshore, this establishment has taken a nosedive. I attempted to give it a chance, but Alex, the new owner, is dismissive, always insists on being right, and reacts childishly when faced with an issue, delegating problem-solving to others. I left with uneven and bumpy nails, being told it was just "dust," yet was still charged the full amount. The "quick dry" service resulted in bubbling and had to be redone, extending the drying time to 25 minutes with the same unsatisfactory outcome. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, I was informed that regular polish is different from gel polish, and there's unavoidable dust in the air, with the quick dry service not even being charged for. As if this was a gesture of goodwill after the chaos (which I didn't even request), I left visibly displeased as Alex engrossed himself in phone games, not even bothering to bid farewell. Utter lack of professionalism. I should have walked out without paying, but that's not in my nature.

My visit at 1pm today for a powder dip and pedicure was disappointing. A kind young man handled my pedicure beautifully. However, the older gentleman insisted on doing my powder dip, causing a 40-minute delay after my pedicure as he was the sole nail technician available. His filing was rough, even causing discomfort on my skin. Despite my feedback, he continued without adjustment. The dip application left color all over my cuticles, with no effort to clean it up in between. Excess glue enamel was evident on my skin. After the dipping process, he applied the setting liquid, used a power filer to buff, sometimes removing color in the process. Following a hand wash, color residue remained around my cuticles, and glue was still present on my skin. He then attempted to use cuticle nippers (not permitted in NYS) without consent. I paid for the services but only tipped the other young man. The salon was unclean, with dust from previous filings scattered around, nail clippings on the floor, and tools stored improperly in Barbicide. The lack of sufficient staff led to long waiting times. Within an hour of returning home, one of my nails cracked and split. I plan to return tomorrow to address this issue and potentially seek a refund. Overall, a disappointing experience that won't see me returning. Health authorities should inspect this establishment promptly.

The meticulous attention to detail during my manicure and pedicure at Love Fashion Nails was truly exceptional! A fantastic experience that I highly recommend.
