Royal Oak Nails in Detroit

I’ve been coming here for years and never leave disappointed! I’m always getting compliments on my nails. Also was one of the first customers to try their new cat eye gel polishes and HIGHLY recommend — amazing as always for a great price!

I usually never make bad reviews (especially because I came in here for my first time on Friday BECAUSE of the good reviews I seen on google & yelp) but honestly I felt the need to after the way everything turned out. I came & seen Tina Friday afternoon, she was friendly over all & we even talked about people leaving good & bad reviews for businesses & I told her I wanted to leave her a good review if everything went good but sadly it didn’t. 4 out of 10 of my fingers were cut so bad by the drill, I had to keep moving my fingers. When I did, Tina would say “you get cut because your skin is over the cuticle” but I don’t think that’s true because I’ve been getting my nails done for 14 years & I’ve only been cut MAYBE 2 other times when I was a very young girl. She didn’t do the prep work like most places do (drilling under the nails, pushing cuticles back, clipping around the nails, buffing, filing the sides under, wiping them with alcohol to make sure nothing is on them/dry them out) so I thought that was kinda unfortunate because she was missing steps I usually get from other places. I told her I wanted almond nails but not TOO pointy at the tip & it took a while for her to get the shape even close because she kept filing them round & I had to keep asking to make them more inwards/pointy until I just stopped asking & settled on the shape (which still isn’t that almond to me) & she argued with me saying “next time tell me almond!!” but I didn’t want to argue back even though I did express I wanted almond twice, once before service & a second time when she was putting the tips on. She didn’t drill under my nails either to flatten/even out the acrylic so under my nail it’s a big bump of acrylic that’s very noticeable if you look. The color I originally wanted didn’t come out the same as the picture so we had to change it at the very end & I still wasn’t too happy with the outcome but I dealt with it because at that point, I had been there almost 2 hours just for a full set of short almond nails that were solid color & paid $55 (which I thought was a little expensive bc at multiple places in the Clinton township/Sterling Heights/Fraser area, I usually pay $45-48 for the same nails). Saturday when I woke up I could barely move my fingers bc they were burning & hurting so terribly, not even exaggerating. It’s now Sunday night & my nails/fingers are STILL a bit sore & hurting from how bad she cut me on multiple fingers. Not just cut me, but made me bleed. Ontop of all of that, I let the salon with no oil or lotion & polish all over my fingers. Then I looked at my thumb nail on Saturday morning & it was ALREADY CHIPPED!!! Not even 24 hours & it had chipped!!! Then I also noticed a small black hair/fuzz in one of the nails & the fact that it’s there is bothering me so badly. I texted Tina letting her know I wasn’t happy & everything else & she never replied. I really wanted to like this place & expected it to be my next regular salon but I will deff not be back here after this.

Not going to take any stars away, but this is not acceptable. I work with my hands and I’m in a lot of pain. I was able to get the swelling down by using medicated ointment and witch hazel. This is 3 days later and still bleeding. I feel bad because the guy who did them was very nice and listened to exactly what I wanted, but you need to be more careful. I paid $70 to be in pain for days after my appointment and run the risk of infection. When he cut me like this with the drill, he jabbed his finger in to it in order to “push back the cuticle” can you maybe do that before cutting your client?
