Asia Nails — Local services in Royal Palm Beach

I was referred by a friend of a friend and read the reviews. Most were great so I gave them a try. They took my appointment quickly, however that is where anything good I have to say ends. The young lady who did my nails (Nextgen) didn't want to use tips, but I know my preferences. I asked for a the nails to be slightly tapered on the side (not a full "coffin" shape) because my natural nails curl a little as they grow and rounded corners. She only glued the tips in the center, so my natural nail was pulling away from the tips just a few hours later. The shape is not what I asked and showed her and I had to remind her to round the corners before I washed. The surface of the Nextgen is inconsistent with dips in several and a few of the tips were glued on crooked and the nails look twisted after 1 week of growth.

I also had a pedi and did an upgraded one (smoothing pedi). A normal pedi at my previous salon was better than this. The guy was good on the massage, but very brief. Did not get the sides of my toe nails, even though I asked twice. He hit the bottom of my feet at the end of the massage which I know is kind of common, except he hit so hard and was so painful on my heel that I yelped and jumped slightly out of the chair. But the absolute worst was that he used his vape pen TWICE while doing my pedi!!! I will NEVER go back!!!

UPDATED 7/12/20: 2 days after posting this (now 1 full week after services) 1 nail popped off at the tip that was barely glued and I've developed an infection on another finger at the side where she over filed my nail and...

On Sunday, 4-24-2016, about mid-day, I walked in to the Asia Nail Salon on US Highway 441 and Southern Blvd to have a pedicure.

The first clue things would NOT go well was the front door was wide open with minimal or no air condition on in the inside. This was a very hot day and NO A/C? Hmmm, perhaps the business was not doing so well they had to save on the electrical bill?

As I walked inside, I saw there was only one patron having her nails done inside. The woman working on her client was wearing a mask and without looking up said, "can I help you?" At first, I didn't know it was her speaking. When I asked how much was a pedicure, she stated, "$22," so I agreed. Shortly after, a young Hispanic female came over and directed me to one of the chairs close to the front windows and door (a little cooler there). She started the flow of water into the bowl and asked me to sit down and place my feet in, which I did. The Hispanic woman tried to up-sell me two over rated "spa pedicures," which I declined and stated I was just looking for a cut, file, and lightly buff my nails...nothing more. Simple.

I'm sitting there for about 3 minutes, when I heard that same lady call over the Hispanic woman. Then the Hispanic woman came to me and said the cost of the pedicure would now be $25, plus a gratuity fee, because I didn't want polish, but they would buff shine my nails.

I got this terrible feeling in my gut, so I said, "No. That's alright. I'm leaving."

I strongly recommend you do not waste your money or time at this salon. ...

I went there for a pedicure and was told I would have to wait a few minutes which I did not mind. Then the man that was there decided he was going to do my pedicure. He was done in record time, plus, the other two people who were already there doing their pedi before me was still in their chairs when he was done rushing through my pedicure. Now, there were no pending customers at that point, I wasted my money. My feet feel the same and the paint job looks shoddy. I appreciate the experience though because now I know where not to go.

My reply to your reply:

That’s exactly the problem you dimwit. He is obviously not a pedicurist and probably one of the owners but decided to sabotage my feet anyways. Your response speaks volumes! There is no misunderstanding on my behalf only yours. Get your act together. My comment will not be moved. Keep your people in line doing the job that pays them and gives you positive comments! Don’t pretend like this isn’t you, I am not logistically impaired. Seems like you need a refresher on your location. You are on the same section as that T-mobile store. Tell me I’m a liar one more time so I can name out the rest of the stores surrounding you. Don’t play with...
