"I went in to Gulden's for the first time today. The salon is clean and I was greeted right away. I wanted a shellac manicure - which I noticed was $35.00 - and I was seated promptly and given the color menu. I only needed to soak off one nail but the tech who sat down to do my manicure didn't seem to want to wait. She removed the soaking cup that had just been put on began roughly scraping off the polish with a metal tool that hurt my thumb and cuticle. When she did the manicure, I was honestly surprised at how poorly it was done. The tech roughly filed my nails and then applied cuticle lotion that she did not allow to soak in or even sit on my fingers. When she did go to cut my cuticles, she never touched the side of any of my fingers...she would only cut the base of my cuticle and even then, she went so fast, that she missed significant parts that needed to be trimmed. The 'manicure' was over in about 4 minutes. She was also not very good at polishing. She applied the bonding coat but then scrubbed it back off with cotton leaving cotton fibers stuck to my nails that she then polished. My cuticles were still rough and you could clearly see them but she didn't cut them back, just polished over them. Once the shellac set, she 'massaged' my hands with oil - which smelled amazing - and then wrapped them in a hot towel. The whole process took 10 minutes total and I was so disappointed. The tech was very polite but it felt like she had no idea what she was doing and was just trying to get through it. It was not worth $35.00 at all. The salon was nice and the owner seemed wonderful but they need techs in there who know what they're doing and are willing to take the time to do it well. Don't plan on going back."
