I happened to be shopping in that area about 3 months ago and asked one of the retailers for a nail technician recommendation. They mentioned Island Nails that was located just down the street. Upon entering the establishment, I found it to be clean, and was immediately approached by Tammy. She convinced me to have the Solar Nail service done, which she did and was very pleased with. It was quite expensive, but I was happy with the way my nails turned out. What I didn't find was a friendly atmosphere between the other technicians and myself which was borderline rude, considering the fact that I was the only one in the place. One of the male techs sat in a pedicure chair the whole time I was there without as much as a hello, nor a smile because he was so busy either playing games on his IPOD or texting . I've been in this establishment 3 separate times and have been treated exactly the same way. The last time I went there, I requested Tammy who apparently was too busy, so another gal did my nails. I was very disappointed with the service and also with her inability to converse with me in my language. She was too busy talking to her co-workers with little regard for me who was sitting right across the table from me. I find it very rude to be talking and laughing in another language while I'm sitting dirrectly across from whoever is doing my nails. I drove 25 minutes just for the solar nail service because they told me they were the only place that did this service. I found out today that it's offered closer to my home. I won't go back to Island Nails.
