I got chrome with French tip gel manicure done at a shop down the street from file + style and it was a nightmare. The set was my birthday set and I really wanted something a little fancier. File + style resurrected my damaged cuticles and nails and did a pristine set that has lasted very durably. I’m very thankful for the skills of the team. Wonderful customer service and care.
I’ve been going to file+style since 2018 and truly - I’ve never had a bad experience with LoAnn. She is always kind, communicative, and goes above and beyond - especially considering the crazy designs I ask her to do. I used to do hard gel and now I exclusively do gel x and they always last me a month at minimum. Occasionally I’ll get a pedicure here too - and the dazzle dry is a game changer bc it actually does dry in 5 minutes so I can get out and on with my day quickly. The online booking system is super easy and truly pro tip that if you any sort of design, you have to book with LoAnn. Worth every penny!

she was also unable to find or mix the color I requested and I just ended up accepting what she gave me.
I might try again with another technician because there… read full review
