Nightmare manicure and rude service

by iceo21

I was so disappointed for the manicure I recieved at Nailbar on Southport. The receptionit was very rude at the table almost like she didn't even care if there wa business or not. The nail technician was friendly by inexperienced. I received a french manicure that was way over priced for what I got. The technician slopped on the white polish and then took a paint brush to make the arch. Serriously, I could do this in myself. I went to have my nails done becaue I thought they knew what they were doing. Then he proceded to slop on the polish leaving bubbles since he put it on so thick. I will NEVER go back!!

• Pros: None
• Cons: rude service by the receptionist, high prices, unskilled nail technicians

Truly the worst acrylic nails I've ever had done

by olgah2004

I went here about a month ago for a pedi and a full set of acrylic pink & white nails. The pedi was not bad but the acrylic nails were really horrendous. The nail tech took forever, the acrylic went on gloppy and she filed them in such a horrible way that the nails were literally coming off in 2 days -- and they charged me an arm and a leg to get a full set. I actually called that same afternoon to complain about how bad the nails were - which I NEVER do - and played telephone tag with the manager for about a week. This place looks really cool on the outside but if you can avoid going here - please do. It will save you alot of time and money. I ended up getting my nails done at an Asian salon that fixed the mess these guys did - and charged me a quarter of what they did...

• Pros: Cool ambiance
• Cons: VERY slow service, TERRIBLE acrylic nails, High High prices

I second that!

I agree with the previous poster - you can do way better on Southport for less money. The receptionist seems to not care that you're there. Once I went in and the manicurist was really talkative during my pedicure, and I just wanted to relax. Anyway she talked so much that she forgot to give me my hand massage during my manicure! I had my rings off and was like "Um, I see you've started to polish... is there no massage?" They never made it right even though they all knew that I didn't get one of the cornerstones of the manicure service. Waxing admittedly is ok, if you're in a pinch. But the prices for nail services are too high for the level of service you get.

I have given this place more than enough chances to redeem itself, I am officially done.l
