Regal Nails

It pains me to give Regal Nails such a low score... I went to this salon for years with great results. I had a great rapport with the staff. They all knew me and vice versa. But my last experience was such a disappointment.

I hadn't been for a few months...trying to cut down on frivolous expenses to save money. But, for Christmas I'd gotten a gift certificate to Regal Nails specifically, since everyone knew it was my favorite place (only place :) ) to get my nails done. The woman who did my nails was new, but I wasn't worried. I had faith in Regals craftsmanship. I was shocked when 3 nails popped off after a few days. The rest of them were all loose and close to doing the same. I went back to explain the problem, had to get them done all over again...and was charged :(. And even though my nails were done by a gentleman who'd done them before, the same thing happened again, just short of a week after having them done. Needless to say, I haven't gone back...I'm afraid I'll be charged yet again for a full set well ahead of when I should be with an increasing likelihood they'll fall apart again. A veteran of acrylic and gel nails, let me assure you that I'm well-versed in how to care for them. I even purchased and wear latex gloves on days when I clean house to avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals. In the past, my nails would consistently last 3 weeks or more before I'd need a fill or anot her full set. And the prices were so very reasonable! Such a shame the the workmanship and devotion to providing a sound product, and correcting an error when it doesn't meet standards is no longer a priority. Look for another nail salon. I'll be doing the same... :(.
