I had gone to Rose Nails before for eyebrow waxing, manicure, and pedicure. I didn't hesitate to go there for my Shellac manicure....NEVER AGAIN! I had gotten a shellac manicure at another salon and absolutely loved it! It was just too far for me to drive to so I figured I'd stick close to home. The whole time I was getting manicured, the technician kept repeating that she didn't like shellac because it wasn't smooth and it didn't look like a regular manicure. I figured she just wasn't confident and dismissed it. I asked for a french manicure and she did just that. Except, the white part was covering half my nail. I explained that I wanted it smaller and she seemed to get annoyed, but ultimately fixed it. I noticed the shellac was a bit tacky and not at thick as they were when I got it before, so I asked her and she wiped it with alcohol and said that it needed to dry. I got home and SEVERAL hours later, the nails were still sticky and now they were peeling! I put a coat of clear nail polish and went to bed. The next morning I returned to the salon and explained my issue. I asked her to fix it and she said I should ""try somewhere else"", which I did. She did offer me a refund, which I accepted. I was extra annoyed because I had called and spoke to the owner before just showing up and asked if they were trained to apply shellac to which the owner said yes. I will return for a wax and regular polish, but never again for shellac!!
