New Nails

Tina is phenomenal!! Pay her a visit. She's not closed. She's open!!! Commences at 10 am.

Being unfamiliar with the region and merely visiting my spouse who is working close to Pauls Valley, I searched for nail salons online. Discovering that this was the closest one in the area that was operational on this particular Saturday 08/11/18, I decided to give it a try. Firstly, it stated they opened at 10:30 am, however, upon my arrival around 10:45 am, they had not yet opened. Upon my return, I was promptly assisted, and from what I gathered, the gentleman assisting me was the proprietor, his wife was aiding another patron, and his daughter was performing pedicures. I opted for gel nails and was getting a new set since I had removed mine months ago to let them strengthen. The color I selected was a golden hue on a black base, I usually go for the coffin shape, but since I was opting for a shorter length this time, I requested a semi-coffin shape similar to what my nail technician in Dallas does, which is not as narrow. Firstly, the shape of each nail was uneven, poorly shaped, and simply dreadful, however, I am not one to complain, so I hoped the color would distract from how poorly they appeared. I washed my hands, and his wife began painting my nails, they were initially painted black, then the golden shade was applied over it, which appeared significantly darker than the sample nail, the lady sitting next to me even commented on how much darker it was. I eventually informed the nail technician that the color was much darker than expected, and she simply agreed and informed me of the additional cost. Clearly dissatisfied, she offered to repaint them for an extra $10, so I had to pay for something that was not as advertised. I reluctantly agreed to the repaint as the nails looked terrible, she seemed annoyed and sat back down to remove the paint from my nails, the black pigment was stuck to my cuticles where she proceeded to clip them, gripping my hands roughly and causing several fingers to bleed. Once again, I sat there with my fingers stinging as she essentially tortured me without saying a word. She completed the service, I paid, still maintaining my polite demeanor, and thanked her for taking the time to repaint my nails. However, afterward, I was extremely disturbed and upset by the treatment I received and the unsatisfactory outcome of my nails that I had paid my hard-earned money for. BEWARE, my experience was far from pleasant.

I highly suggest this establishment. They accommodate walk-ins. Their service was professional and exceptionally kind. Here's a snapshot of my American manicure ($55) which was executed flawlessly. I recommend phoning ahead if feasible as they tend to get busy! While the building isn't brand new, it's conveniently located in town. Their inventory may not be the trendiest, but it functions perfectly well! This place ensures your nails are beautifully done and you leave feeling great and comfortable. If they inform you of a wait- IT'S WORTH IT!!
