Carmel Nails

Nov 2023

This is where I grew up getting my nails done. I moved out of the area during COVID and just moved back recently. So I figured why not go back to my old stomping grounds. Big mistake!!! I came in for a pedicure and UV gel nails. Pedicure was done by a man and I did the expensive spa pedicure (not sure the exact one) but it was the absolute worst pedicure I had ever received. The place was empty. The owner was there playing on her phone. The man seemed annoyed to be doing my nails bc he obviously isn't used to having to do work bc they drove away all their business according to these reviews. All I kept thinking as he softly stroked my foot in the same stroke for 10 minutes irritating my skin was "I am not getting my nails done here and giving them more money," So directly after my pedicure when they were pointing me to the chair to get the nails done, again the place empty I reached for my phone and said "im so sorry I have to go I don't have time for my nails." The lady got so upset with me like I had done some awful thing. I paid for my pedicure as she scalded me for leaving. I was only a walk in. It was so uncomfortable. How could you expect to have someone that lazy at giving pedicures and your terrible attitude to ever come back? Clearly they'll change hands again bc the worst nail salon experience I've been through. Also, this place used to have lines!! Shocked. Do better. My Polish on my toe nails chipped in 3 days.

Cindy( Manager overcharges without telling you !)I first went to Journey nails 3 weeks ago and Cindy the Manager did my nails . I got powder gel . It came out alright except for the two cuts on the bottom from her using the electric sander . I paid $45 which was more than my last place in Ct. But on my CC it said $45 Let me note that I came in with oval nails. She did not make them oval. I returned in 2 weeks to get powder gel mani and a regular pedicure . I had the pedicure first, a young man did it , the worst I have ever had. He barely brushed the soles of my feet, the polish was messy ,it was my polish too.He kept having to clean them up. No massage, nothing relaxing...read full review

Girls, I don't recommend this place. They do a very bad job, they damaged my hands and left my nails bulging, they also gave me a price and when they finished they gave me another price. And I don't mind paying whatever as long as the work is quality, but it really wasn't worth the $95 they charged me. I only came out with bare hands full of glue and my nails seem to have been done just to make money and not for the love of the job.
