Momo Nails

Went in for a classic gel pedicure (128rm). They have a wide selection of polishes with trendy and beautiful colors, and the service staff was friendly and welcoming. I topped up 88rm for cat eye polishes, but the nail technician who assisted me was inexperienced and didn’t know how to work with them. She painted one toenail as a ‘sample’ to show what the color looked like. However, she couldn’t achieve the same effect as the samples, even after changing colors twice. The pigments were scattered and ‘flat,’ like regular glitter polishes, when I wanted the ‘stripe’ across all nails. She mentioned that the effect on toenails differs from fingernails due to the shape, but I’ve had cat eye pedicures done elsewhere that weren’t this bad. Before working on the big toe for the ‘stripe,’ she called her manager over for help, asking how it should be done. Only on the third attempt was the right toe satisfactory. Getting the left toe to somewhat match took another 3-4 tries. The whole pedicure took about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Overall, the service was okay, but the nail technician's skills could be improved. Given the steep top-up price for cat eye polishes, I expected better results. 😕

I visited Momo Nail in Aeon Tebrau City and, honestly, it was a disappointing experience. The prices are extremely high, and within just a week, the nail color on both my hands and feet started peeling off. The staff, especially Venus and another whose name also starts with V, were very unfriendly; they acted as if I owed them something. It really ruined the experience. I also noticed that they seemed to treat Singaporean Chinese customers much better, while giving other races a cold attitude. The manicure service was also not up to standard. They were supposed to scrub my hands, but instead, they just shaped my nails, applied color, and finished with some lotion. The pedicure felt the same – rushed and incomplete, like they didn’t really put effort into it. They even charged RM20 just to use different colors between fingers, which I found unreasonable. This is by far the worst nail salon I’ve been to. Definitely not worth the price and not recommended. All the good comments may be from their Singaporean Chinese customers.

"This was the worst manicure I've ever had, and it will definitely be my first and last time going there. The service and attitude weren't very friendly either. My cuticles weren't cleaned properly; you can still see the dead skin. And the color application on my nails was uneven and the shape wasn't nice. Judge for yourself, but I really can't accept this ugly manicure."
