A & K Nails — Local services in Tucson

Don't even open the door...RUN! Tools were not sterilized in any way and no nail brushes available to clean and wash nails before or after. I requested a full set but upon sitting down and beginning I could tell this lady had no idea what she was doing. I let her finish, hoping the would turn out ok, but unfortunately they looked like bear claws and the acrylic is very bumpy. I even had to request that she use the nail file to shape the nail and trim off excess acrylic. I really wasn't happened and explained my concerns. She said she would fix them for an additional price since she would have to file them down and repaint. I asked her if I could pay the $45 quoted for the basic set and just have her remove them but again she stated it would be an additional cost, up to $50. What??? I handed her my credit card as it clearly stated they accepted Visa and Mastercard (FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE) and she handed it back and said she would prefer cash. I explained I'd prefer to use my CC but she again didn't want to accept it. At this point I was done and handed her the $45...

So I went here about 3 years ago and was never going to write a review until I saw the horrible experience my friend went through and realized I needed to post a review. I just like her was in a hurry and looking for convenience and always go to Golden Nails but they are always packed, so I gave A and K a try. Very bad decision on my part, they completely butchered my toe nails and my two big toes wouldn't stop bleeding. They told me I have ingrown nails and I have never had this issue, it was an excuse for there wrong doing. I wanted a gel manicure as well and instead of sitting me at a table for this service they did it at the pedicure chair while I was getting my toes done. They didn't do anything prep wise other then take my polish off and kind of shape my nails. Needless to say the experience was terrible, my gel started to chip the next day. They didn't want to refund me and charged me $80 for a gel manicure and pedicure. They need to be shut down, please people do not waist your money or your time and read...

The first time I went in to get a pedi and mani - my mani was half done nail polish missing on the sides. My pedi - the whole time I was bugged about tattooing my eyebrows. All I wanted to do was relax but clearly that was not happening. I figured give them another try. Second visit - I have someone working on my nails and my toes so automatically not going to relax and enjoy the pampering and this time I’m bugged non stop about getting gel on my toes when I said I only wanted regular nail polish on my toes. I mean literally THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME! Every so many mins it’s a constant you should get gel or gel is better etc. I’ve been getting pedis and manis forever I clearly know what I want and these people would not leave me alone about it. Not to mention when I got there I asked the price of everything and was told one price but charged a higher price...
