If you find a nail tech you are comfortable with and does a great job do not let anyone else "help" you. I called prior to coming to ensure Bill would have time because they do not do appointments. Long story short Kathy decided to "help" instead of soaking the gel overlay off mt natural nails she ripped then off using a nail tip and with that took a layer of nail off as welk as all the length I had. I paid her for her "services" but I'm definitely not going back anytime soon. I'm going to try to find a new place. Read Less

I posted a picture of my nails after about 3 weeks. Not bad. Of course I had to reapply a little nail polish Bc I couldn't find the time to go do my nails. But the place is not bad. Regular pedicure with design is like $ 16 which is less expensive than most places in Bridgeport and Stratford where I live. The male pedicurists are very good. I do my eyebrows. There too. One Chinese lady was very rough on my eyebrows. I don't know her name but I promise never have her touch me again.Word of advice, if possible avoid going there on Saturday, way too crowded.

Reviews for "From Accuser to Accused: A Netflix Documentary on the Salem Witch Trials"

- John - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to watch this documentary about the Salem witch trials on Netflix, but I found it to be quite underwhelming. The pacing was slow and it didn't offer any new or interesting information that hasn't been covered in other documentaries or books on the subject. Additionally, the reenactments felt forced and the overall production value was lacking. I was hoping for a more in-depth exploration of the events and the people involved, but unfortunately, this documentary fell short.

- Sarah - 1/5 stars - I have to say, this documentary on the Salem witch trials was a complete disappointment. The narration was dull and lacked any passion or enthusiasm. The information presented was mostly basic facts that are already widely known. I was expecting a deep dive into the psychology behind the accusations and the impact it had on the community, but this documentary barely scratched the surface. Furthermore, the editing was choppy and made it difficult to follow the timeline of events. Overall, I would not recommend wasting your time on this lackluster documentary.

- Alex - 2/5 stars - As a history enthusiast, I had high hopes for this Netflix documentary on the Salem witch trials. Unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The documentary seemed more interested in sensationalism rather than providing an insightful analysis of the events. It focused heavily on dramatic reenactments and spooky sound effects, which took away from the educational value. I was hoping for a more comprehensive examination of the social and cultural factors that led to the witch trials, but it barely scratched the surface. If you're looking for a thought-provoking and well-researched documentary, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
