Pathetic service

Pathetic service at Nail Bar Centre Point

I had my nails done at the Nail Bar Centre Point in Thursday at 10:30Am.

That evening around 10Pm my left index fingers nail cracked and after chipping, fell off completely. I then checked my other nails and most of them had cracks in them. 3 other nails came off that evening.

After reporting this incident to the Owner of the Nail bar Vicky Hansson, I received no response whatsoever.

Friday morning the manageress at the Nail Bar Louisa called me and butter could not melt in her mouth. I told her that I would be heavily reprimanded when arriving at work with my nails in that state, and would have to have them soaked off at work.

She agreed and apologized again and said that before I soak off my nails I should take a picture so that she can show her boss. She then said whenever I am ready to come and redo my nails I should just give them a call to let them know that I am on my way.

When I called them to confirm this, no one knew what I was talking about. The manageress on duty was no help at all. She told me she will confirm with Louisa and that I could come in, in the meantime because there is someone available to do my nails but I should come now because the technician will soon have another client.

Upon my arrival the manageress was apparently on the telephone with the owner. The owner asked the manager how many times I had been to the salon, what seemed to me like she was trying to justify whether to correct THEIR POOR QUALITY OF WORK.

The owner Vicky blatantly told me that she would not redo my nails nor give me a refund because the fact that I had to to soak of my nails at work was not their problem.

This frustrates me to my core, because how many ladies experience this and is to soft to speak up?

How many ladies need to be mortified infront of others for reporting poor quality work?

You stated that you were called into work at Canal Walk for a 12 hour shift unexpectedly and would need to either soak off your nails yourself or have them removed at another salon before your shift started. We asked you to come back to us directly to do this for you as we cannot repair work done by

repair work done by other salons/the******s. 

You told us you could not get to us in time before your shift and will remove them yourself. 

You then arrived at the salon yesterday with nothing on your nails  upset that we would not give you a brand new set for free.

We asked you over Whatsapp communication for pictures of your nails before you had them soaked off elsewhere so we could see where and how they had chipped as this is most unusual for 24 hours after an application. You did not send us any photos of your nails and still chose to remove them elsewhere

Had you come back to our salon, we would have gladly fixed them for you as I stated in my email to you, as well as over the phone and via WhatsApp messages. 

We cannot be held liable for you voluntarily choosing to have them removed by a different salon (or by yourself at home) and without sending

 us any proof of the cracking/chipping and then demanding a free new set. 

I did offer you a discount on your new set as a show of good Will and to appease you, but you put down the phone on me and got angry with my staff in the salon. 

As stated previously, we always try to fix any issues

or problems as they arise and were more than willing to accommodate you at either of our branches for your repairs. 

I am sorry that you felt the need to review us so poorly on hellopeter, I hope you will understand that your reactions are unreasonable and unfair when we had only tried our best
