1 /5 Bogard, MD, FACOG Shyrlena L.: One of the WORST manicures I have ever gotten.
I just left VNK Nail Salon 5 minutes ago and as you can see in the pictures it does not look like I have a fresh manicure. To start, I requested a Milly white polish color (I donot recall the name/number). The manicurist simply said white, and proceeded to use that āwhite-out - whiteā, which looked really bad because my nails were not buffed and the polish went on very lumpy. I quickly selected an alternate polish (she blamed it on the polish), but because my nails were not buffed any whatsoever so the polish is not smooth. She just put the polish on thicker as though it would make it better. She butchered my cuticles with a choppy choppy motion, so again you can see for yourself how the cuticles look. No cuticle cream was used and she gave me ice cold water to soak my hands in. I said it was too cold, so she replaced it with lukewarm, but still no actual cuticle cream to soften the cuticles. My nails were also filed haphazardly; one edge is rounded while the other is square on most of the nails. The polish itself is not neat and absolutely zero moisturizer was placed on my hands at the end, so (again you can see in the photos) my skin is totally dry and ashy after soaking in the cold water. I can only imagine that the poor service is related to not having tips/acrylics or anything. Itās as though requesting a nice manicure on my real nails is a total inconvenience.
Unfortunately I am a physician in a surgical specialty and I perform female gyne exams, therefore I cannot have long nails or any acrylic.
This was an absolute waste of my time and now I must use another 2 hours to get them done again some place else:
