‼Stay far away if you want long nails‼
I was calling multiple nail salons across La Verne/Claremont and came across Red Persimmon. I was impressed with a only $25 full set and a $3 "long" length add on. I definitely jumped because salons now charge crazy for length and shape (pretty much anything they can get you on). I arrive to the shop with my sister and ask if she can get a fill and me, a full set. They said sure just pick your color and wait. I waited and was seated after another woman who walked in was seated and was greeted by a nail technician who claims was the manager. We hit it off great, I showed her the length In a photo of a set I had previously had (photo attached below) and I wanted and she said that it was long and I agreed but this is what I wanted. She filed my already brittle nails down and I yelped a little because it did hurt me. I asked her to stop and she kept on continuing. Okay, weird. She started to put on the tips and cut them a little shorter than I wanted, no biggie I can handle it. It wasn't until she was already filing again that she made the nails even shorter than I had wanted. I had told her that the nails were shorter than I wanted and she reassured me that pointy nails would get shorter and that I shouldn't worry. I kept expressing that the nails were not what I asked for and she then got annoyed of me and told me, "I know you're trying to cause problems for me" and "You're too young to be acting this way with me". I am not "too young", if anything I am old enough to know how to advocate for myself and not be bullied into having something I did not pay for. And then I told her that, "No ma'am, I'm not trying to cause problems, I want to get what I am paying for". And I sure did get that. She then told me to go wash my hands, as I did, then realized there was no paper towels and went back to her and told her there was no paper towels. She then gives me a towel, I wipe my hands and she starts to paint. I was already at wits end with her, but if there wasn't anything else to top off this horrid visit, is was how after she finished painting my left hand, she threw my hand at me. I was livid. You do not treat your customers like this. Especially not after you cut their nails, cuticles and skin and then try to argue with the customer when you were the one who messed up. She finished my nails and then went to my sister (who needed the fill) and told her that she had no time for her (even though before the altercation she did) and took another lady. Extremely unprofessional and overall childish. I paid her $25 after she told me that I wouldn't have to pay for the extra $3 of length SHE DID NOT GIVE ME. Also, the other customers there did see how I was being treated and I do have my sister as witness to how I was being treated. My nails came out short, the shapes uneven and honestly a disappointment. I will not be coming here again.
Avoid coming here at all costs if you want long nails!
TLDR; Rude manager, cut my cuticles and burned the skin around my fingers with her drill, did not give me what I wanted and argued with me, claiming I was giving her problems because i asked for long nails and didn't specify (WHICH I DID) and threw my hand at me after painting them. Do not come here! read more
