| 2009-11-17 | Chris | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks for the timely answer. I am now ahppy I chose the OPI gel nails and will continue to use this kind of manicure again. Glad to know the damage occurs with removal, not the products. Thanks again. |
| 2009-11-11 | Rachel | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Maggie is so good about replying in a timely manner and is always knowledgeable! |
| 2009-11-05 | Kathryn | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I was pleasantly surprised To receive such a timely(next da!) and succinct response to my question. Most websites don't bother to answer-unless you agree to pay a fee or sign up to get thousands of unwanted emails from 3rd parties. My question was answered and in a way that was easy to understand for those of us who lack the knowledge of the terminology. Thank you so much-I will definitely take your suggestion re reporting to the state board under advisement. The services I received were most definitely deceptive practices at best.I,of course,like so many, paid for it. I've learned much that is helpful here-this is an info site that anyone who regularly gets nail care should read before paying for questionable practices. Highly recommended.Thank you again. |
| 2009-10-25 | camille | 10 | 10 | 10 | 7 | Yes | Your answer was exactly what I wanted to know. I guess I didn't make myself clear, the salon does glue and power fillins not gel. My mistake. Thank you for your prompt answer and I certainly am considering the new gel concept. Have a great day. |
| 2009-09-17 | Shana | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | WOW!!! OMG!!! I did not know that there was soooo much entailed with different types of manicures and procedures; I feel like I just took an online tutorial! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!!! :-) I am definetly much more knowledgeable about what I want now more than ever before!!! This EXPERT sure does know her stuff!!! I wish she could do my nails!!! I am going to refer all my family and friends to this website for sure!!! |

| 2009-09-09 | Olga | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your very speedy response. I hope it is not a fungus and only a problem with the gel application. If you do hear of someone in this area, please do let me know. Thank you again, Olga Robles |
| 2009-08-27 | Rachel | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Maggie! I do live in Florida and maybe all the swimming pools and humidity have something to do with it! Thanks for the wonderful tips! |
| 2009-08-27 | Heather | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | This was GREAT advice! Thanks for all the different options. Still not sure what the plan is yet but you gave me solutions I would never have thought of on my own! THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH :) |

| 2009-08-17 | Rachel | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you so much for your help and patience. I asked a different expert about nails and they acted like I should know specifics. I do not know anything about nails and they started in saying if I wanted to ask a questions I should be specific, which of course the purpose of me asking questions were to learn about the nails available. I thank you for giving me detailed answers and having a true passion for nails. With the possibility of health hazards people really need to educate themselves about nails and you have helped me do this, unlike some of the other experts on here. Thanks! |

| 2009-07-02 | Madeline | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I loved the fact that Maggie went the extra mile to actually call a Spa & Nail salon to find out information for me I believe that is going way beyond of what I would have ever expected. Thank you soo much!! :D |

| 2009-05-05 | Kathy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks Maggie - now I just need to figure out how to gently "tell her how to do it differently." - this will be the tricky part. |
| 2009-04-29 | Angela | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks! That's the exact same thing I was thinking. But as I said, I'm new to gels so I thought maybe I was missing something! I did another overlay on myself lastnight, and so far no signs of lifting. And my nails are very very resistant to any product. Thanks so much! |
