Hi Ladies,
My friend has just had a set of acrylic nails done at a "nice" salon. She asked for pink and white acrylic, 1/2 cm longer than they were at the time, almond shaped.
I asked about the service as I used to do Extensions - CND trained. For £35 this is what she had done:
No removal of existing polish, cuticles were pushed back with pusher - no cuticle remover
Regular polish was then filed off as nail plate was buffed.
White tip applied - no tailoring and blending, no white acrylic.
Clear acrylic applied over whole nail, shaped shorter than asked and more squoval than almond.
UV top coat applied - no buffing to a high shine.
They were done in an hour - amazing - but I am staggered at the price for what was done.
I would have expected to pay £25 for that level of service not £35 - is this the norm please?
Where has the expertise and professionalism gone?
