I went to Le's Nails last summer when I decided to get acrylics. Since then, I've recieved so many compliments on my nails that I've never had any desire to go anywhere else. In that same vein, it also means that I can't compare it to other salons, so take this for what it's worth.\n\nOn Le's pricing list, my nails are \"Full Set Pink & White.\" They gave me an option of what shade pink I wanted, and I chose the darkest. This means that my nail beds are a rose-ish shade of pink, with bright white tips. I also get a gel coat every time I get them filled, so they stay nice and shiny.\n\nI have been asked while paying for meals, on the light rail, and by students at school where I get my nails done. I get compliments on them on a weekly basis. The truth is that, although I've always been very pleased with Le's quality, it makes me wonder about the quality of other salons. I choose to pay for acrylic nails so that they are gorgeous 24/7 - and they are. Maybe I'm spoiled.\n\nI've also been impressed with Le's customer service. When I got the original set, the guy did a good job on quality but left them far too long. I got home that night and couldn't use my hands for anything; texting was a nightmare. When I went back the next day, they took off some of the extra length and filed them again for free. Another time, I was short on cash and couldn't afford a fill but really needed to get my nails cleaned, and a proper cleaning requires their tiny little drills. The girl did that for free, too. I think it helps that I'm loyal to that salon. They see me in there every two weeks and are willing to help when I ask nicely.\n\nTIP: Acrylics require MAINTENANCE. Must get filled every 2 weeks or they look terrible. I also use Vitamin E oil every night to keep the cuticles from drying out, and lotion on my hands. This is especially important after fills, since the filling process dries everything out. Back fills are more expensive than a brand new set, but generally preferable since it avoids the painful process of removal. And to those who might be considering acrylics, don't kid yourself; they will destroy your natural nails. This destruction can be limited to the short-term by getting the nails professionally removed; ripping them off at home risks permanent damage to the nail-bed.\n\nThe only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is because they don't speak very good English, and communication is often difficult. That's fine if you're okay with not getting chatty while you're there. :-)
