The salon was small, two stations were open when I arrived. Nancy answered the phone and there was a spot available, so I was able to go right in. She did a really nice job--basic manicure. She asked if I wanted my cuticles cut, and I said no thank you. She pushed them back gently and only trimmed a few strays around the edge. It was my first manicure since the pandemic started. There was a split door wide open, everyone was masked, and there was a fan and acrylic panel between us. I felt safe.
Not super happy with my results, though it was cheap. I had a gel manicure where I could see streaks and air bubbles. My manicurist got gel all over my cuticles and used cutters to remove them and when I pointed it out, she told me that it would grow out nicer. Maybe, but if I wanted a sloppy job I would do it myself. I'll stick to my places in downtown LA, even though they're more expensive.
