A gel manicure usually lasts a few weeks for me with no cracks or peeling, this one started falling apart after less than a full week. Not sure what was different this time..

My wait was about 10 minutes, and rather than have me sit in a chair at the front of the store, one of the technicians filled up a pedicure chair bowl for me so that I could relax until it was my turn. The water temp was perfect - super hot - and the massage chair was wonderful. My nail tech did a great job. She spent a lot of time on my cuticles, thank goodness, and I love my polish.

Their attention to detail and precision is what sold me, but they are also very cool and a great collaborator. I cannot recommend this place enough!

After moving to New Orleans I have been trying to find someone who does Russian manicures…read more I have had several appointments with nail techs who seem to believe if they file around the bottom of your finger enough times they're doing it right. They are not. It got so bad that I took my question to Reddit, which is how I ended up booking at this place, which sadly was no different. When I sat down (twenty minutes late) I was informed by the nail tech that she does Russian manicures, but doesn't cut with a scissor. Immediate red flag but I had already paid in full and needed the disaster set I walked in with removed. This person then proceeded to not follow any of the steps of a Russian manicure. No orangewood stick. No flame bit to lift the dead skin. A jagged cut around the cuticle with oil added to hide it. Abrasions where my live skin was filed with the ball bit. I was then informed that I would need to pay an additional $60 for the hard gel application. To be fair, it was applied nicely and the shaping was great. It just wasn't a Russian manicure. If it had been billed as a hard gel manicure and left at that it would have been fine. The gaslighting at the end - I was told I should book hard gel fills moving forward because I don't "need" a Russian manicure - was the icing atop a very shitty cake. If you don't know what you're looking for, this is the place for you. The vibe and aesthetic of the salon is nice. If you're looking for an actual Russian manicure, keep looking.

I wanted natural nails with varying lace looks across my nails for my wedding day. She hand-painted them absolutely perfectly! I was so impressed, I teared up. They were beautiful, and I received so many compliments, not to mention they stayed on for a month! The vibe at Gold en Fileis is very chill and chic. It feels relaxed but fun. The white-and-gold elements throughout, the gold Buddhas, and the hanging chandeliers create a cohesive brand look and feel. It was clean and inviting. I would recommend Angel a million times over!

Unfortunately, I had to choose a green color for my manicure in theme for my friend's bachelorette party but my manicurist Trey did an amazing job by making green look pretty with a cat eye design (extra $15). To book with Golden File, they request you to book online and ask you to pay for a 50% deposit. They also assign you a manicurist at the time of booking so you are guaranteed someone will be working with you during your set appointment. I really appreciate their strong scheduling system as I can't stand when I make an appointment at a nail salon and they don't actually keep the appointment time. The staff is also all so friendly and nice. They offer drinks (water, wine, Viet coffee, etc.) and snacks while you are getting your nails done. There is also a phone stand next to you to keep you phone propped up to doomscroll if you please. It's all the little touches like this that I really appreciated!
