"First of all, since when do you pay BEFORE they do the work?! If you see the result it all makes sense of course. I paid 51.50 dollar for shellack and basic manicure. I never felt so uncomfortable. She did not speak to me at all. Not asking me how I was doing just said : SIT! When I had to change hands under the UV-lamp she started ticking on the lamp. When I left she just walked off without even saying thank you or goodbye. Customer service a big 0. Quality a big 0. She did not ask if I liked it and after 1 day it started to chip already. This should be de-stress me but did the opposite. Don’t ever go there if you want some selfcare and me-time"

"***review update 1 month later 22nd Feb 3rd photo is my nails today.. my polish is still spot on. Im away so haven't been able to get back so you can see the growth at bottom of my nails. 19/1/2023. I've been going here for a while now I've found they have always done a fabulous job; and the staff listen to what you want. At busy times you may have to wait as they don't take appointments; saying that if all the technicians are busy, you can put your name down and they will call you 5 mins before they're ready for you so you can shop or have a coffee while you're waiting. Love my pastle nails today."

"Absolute TRASH Went in at 10am and salon was empty, already had a bad manicure and was looking to get it fixed, I went in and the man that saw me was the GRUMPIEST man I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing. They make you pay before they even do your nails and it’s because they are GARBAGE. I asked for oval acrylics and the pictures speak for themselves. These pics are literally taken on Monday. I got these done on FRIDAY. One fell off four hours after I got home. TRASH, they’re rude. Don’t speak to you, they look angry to be doing your nails. Save yourself 70 bucks and go ANYWHERE else. Lumpy, misshapen nails. Awful awful awful. Would do zero stars if I could."

"So I've been going here for a few months, each time a Thai woman has done my nails. I would usually get Gel on my natural nails. They aren't bad if that's what you're after. I think I pay $40 for that. I did notice the place looked dirty, nail polish on everything, reuse nail files etc. The lady wears gloves and mask and said she is self taught. There's no conversation I'm not sure if her English isn't great but it's also very rushed. A few days ago I went to get acrylics, the nail polish I chose was $10 extra so total was $70. I loved the colours but that's it. I left feeling good but after my partner of all people pointed out how bad my nails looked, I couldn't agree more. They were wide and flat and not really the shape I was after (almond) the acrylic didn't blend into the cuticle and looked like i did them myself. (I.e looks like someone inexperienced did them) I ended up crying out to another salon who removed Paradise Nail's work and redid my nails. I'm sorry but I would NOT go here for acrylics."
