Overpriced services and unnotified costs for manicure and acrylic removal

Business reply on Google

Hi Grace . Our prices are clearly listed on our website, and we always inform clients of the price before starting any service. A regular manicure is $28, and if you need an acrylic/removal added, it is only an additional $10. If you are only coming in for removal without getting a new service, the price is $15. If you feel this price is too high compared to other salons in Seattle, you are always welcome to choose another place or remove it yourself at home. We respect everyone’s choice, but our prices are transparent and communicated upfront before any service is done. Thank you .

Nail technician poorly shaped acrylic nails, resulting in crooked and misshapen nails.

Business reply on Google

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. At our salon, we always maintain a respectful and professional environment. Situations such as staff raising their voices or calling out about tips in front of clients are not part of our practice. If a client is ever unhappy, we’re happy to switch technicians, redo the service, or remove it at no charge. Could you please let us know the date of your visit? We also want to make sure there wasn’t any confusion with another salon. We understand that when an experience feels upsetting, it can also feel more intense in the moment, and we truly empathize with how you felt. We’re very sorry you went through that. Please feel free to contact us so we can look into this and make it right. Thank you

Uncommunicated charges added at end of service; service was rushed and painful

Business reply on Google

Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify a few important points regarding your visit. First, our prices have been publicly available on our website for years, and we kindly ask clients to review pricing before booking appointments to avoid misunderstandings. Second, while you submitted an appointment request online, you did not receive a confirmation message from us. This means the appointment had not yet been accepted or scheduled, as we were busy at that time. Unless clients receive confirmation or speak with us directly by phone, the appointment is not guaranteed. Third, cuticle cutting is not included in our dip powder service. We took additional time to clean and trim your cuticles before starting the service, which is why there was an additional $5 charge added. We typically only charge extra for cuticle work when the cuticles extend significantly over the nail area and may affect the quality and final result of the service. However, we do apologize for not clearly communicating this additional charge beforehand, and we understand how that could be frustrating, it can also affect how the overall service experience is viewed. We always appreciate your feedback. We

Overcharged for services not rendered and poor quality acrylics

Business reply on Google

Hi Mina, thank you for your time. We strive to provide exceptional service and regret if your expectations were not met. Firstly, your total bill for the service was $115, not $125 as mentioned. We ensure transparency in our pricing and strive to accurately reflect all charges. Secondly, we maintain strict hygiene standards by using disposable liners for pedicure services to ensure a clean and sanitary environment for our customers. Thirdly, during your appointment, you selected a deluxe pedicure, but due to your phone battery issue, you hurriedly left early and omitting additional services you declined such as hot rock and hot towels… However we have changed you from the Deluxe to regular price. Regarding the acrylic application issue, we understand your frustration. According to our policy, we offer complimentary fixes for any issues within 5 days of your initial service. We regret that you were unable to return during this timeframe. A week later you called and we still accept to renew it for free, but you requested that you can come two days later, but it was not feasible, and then you talked really aggressive and being rude to us. To ensure transparency and accuracy, we keep d

Hi there, the first one. We want to apologize to you. The problem you mentioned is too confusing here. For acrylic, two weeks is beyond our warranty period. But we can fix 2 fingers for you . We will be appreciated and happy to make you happy again. Thank you.
