The One Nails - St Kilda (VIC)

1 /5 h mac: Possibly the worst nail salon I’ve ever experienced in Australia. Expensive. No skills. Terrible service. Ruined my nails, cut me, burnt me with the sander thing, lied and said they had the specific colour I wanted to get my Business and messed up my night. Left half way through a manicure because I was in pain and they charged me anyway. The one nails? The one to not go to that’s for sure.

1 /5 Nanz Panz: I don’t know if this is the place or PT nails, but it’s the one by the entrance of Wollies in Acland St. DO NOT EVEN BOTHER! The place I like was fully booked so this is the closest one from it available as I was in a hurry. Should’ve checked the review so that’s my bad. If I could give this 0 star I would. I had acrylic refill done and I’ve told her I like my nails thick as my nails tend to snap. But the lady was clearly not experienced. Firstly some of my nails are thing and some are super thick. She did bad job at applying it too that went everywhere in my cuticles and skin, so when she had to buff it out she cut me. Lastly and the worst part, there’s air bubbles underneath the coloured gel. Not even cheaper too! I asked how long it’ll take (as I know some experts are quicker then the rest) I ended up being late for my next appointment as she took 1/2 hour longer than she said. Should’ve done what the lady next to me did, she walked away 1/4 done saying she’s going else where to get it fixed.

1 /5 K Hall: I came in for a last minute walk in appointment for a fresh set of SNS nails as my usual place was booked out. The ladies were friendly however I could see from the start that the service was poor. The SNS soak off process was no longer than a few minutes as they did not wait for the acetone to soak in and went hard on the drill instead. I had to ask her a few times to stop as the drill was burning my fingers. The shaping of the nails were poor and when it came time to applying the SNS I could see that it didn’t look correct as the powder was clumping and leaving lines. However, I thought at the end she would be able to buff and smooth it back down again. She was about to apply top coat of clear when I stopped to ask if she can smoothen the ridges. At this point she said no but if I want I can come back tomorrow for a fresh set. I was baffled! I just spent over an hour for poor service and she knew that it was applied incorrectly however was willing to let me walk out if I didn’t say anything. I declined the offer to come back and have them redone the next day - what a waste of time. I recommend going to a different place with more professionalism and better technique.

1 /5 Katie Wright: I literally got my nails done two days ago (sns), they chipped the next day. I have never had my sns chip or start lifting until 3 weeks after I have had them done. Not only is it the worst job I have had done, I also sat in that salon for 2 hours for bad quality nails. I have tried to call the number listed, says it’s disconnected so I can’t even speak to someone about my nails and getting a refund. I am returning Interstate so wouldn’t be able to come in store again to get them fixed. I honestly wouldn’t anyway, was torturous enough sitting there once. Also the eftpos machine wasn’t working so I had to transfer money to a bank account which I found slightly dodgy. Anyway long story short, if you want nails that will chip and have cracks in them the next day and to waste about 2 hours of your time then by all means go here. Otherwise find somewhere better, I’m sure just about anywhere would be far better.

1 /5 Francesca Vitelli: I’m very sorry there isn’t a 0 star because this is what they deserve. The worst manicure ever. Sorry I can’t even say manicure because I actually haven’t had any cuticles remove and the shellac was applied starting from the middle of the nail…event though I asked many times to go closer. The quality of the polish I don’t event want to comment
