Laughing. I had to get a polish/gel on bare nails. I requested a French tip; a clear base, white tip, clear top coat. With the curing lamp and polish application, it should have taken a maximum of 15 minutes. I had been in before for a fill and a pedicure (which was painful, and I have not returned) so I thought a polish would be a safe and reasonably priced option... It ended up costing $36.00!!! Shame on me for assuming. I questioned multiple times, $36.00???? This all stemmed from a previous bad experience with a fill and polish at another salon, which I also reviewed. I am not one to complain; I simply believe in quality control and avoiding being taken advantage of. I hope this information helps someone else.
