I have been going to Darling Nails for over 20 years. Great service, great people. Kudos to John, Helen and Kim. Love ya! - Mel

I got my pedicures here for years before moving to the other side of Chandler. I was in the area today and needed one so I walked in and they had availability. Always kind and always do a great job. It would be worth the drive to come back. read more

I love this place! My nails always come out amazing. Helen takes her time and is always so kind. She knows what I like and all her suggestions are just what I was looking for. I have been coming here for many years. John, Kim and Peter are amazing too. read more

I went to Darling Nails today and got a pedicure, I am now regretting that and wishing that I would've stayed home and painted my toes myself as I probably could've done a better job. My two big toes look like a 8 year old painted them and the rest aren't great either. Very messy. I will not be returning read more

I've been going to Darling Nails for almost 20 years now. It's a smaller shop, so not too crowded or noisy. I have problem toenails, and Helen and Kim always do a wonderful job, making my feet/toes not only look better, but feel better, too! read more

Popped in the other day with no appointment. They were able to squeeze me in for a fill right on the spot. John the owner did my nails. Space was clean. Staff is friendly. Prices are fair. read more

Darling Nails - Love my nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

This time I came in for a gel manicure and pedicure. Since it was my first gel manicure with them I wasn't sure what to expect. Unfortunately it was disappointing. It has been a week since I came in and the polish is chipping. It started chipping even before a week. It's to the point that the polish can just be peeled right off. For those of you who are familiar with gel manicures, good polish lasts anywhere between 2-3 weeks with no chip. They have also raised their prices for pedicures. I believe it used to be $18 for a basic, then $20, now it's $22. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

HELEN IS AMAZING! As for the rest of the business POOR POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I've brought my daughters in on multiple occasions and they only do what's convenient for them or rush the process to attend to a higher paying customer. They don't care about your feelings or how you like things it's simply their way or the highway! Definitely lost 6 consistent paying customers we won't be back. read more

I have been going to Darling Nails since I first moved to AZ in 2005. Over the years I've never gotten a bad manicure or pedicure--in fact, I moved over 20 miles away and have FIVE nail salons within 2 miles of my new home and I *still* make the drive to Darling Nails! Whether I want something fancy with a design or just a simple single color I'm always so pleased with the work they do, more than once I've used a picture of my most recent pedicure for my profile picture on social media :) I've tried other places off and on over the last 14 years, looking for the same quality of work and the same or lower price and it just hasn't happened. The warm, welcoming greetings and the relaxing atmosphere will continue to make the drive and time well worth it! read more

I have been coming to Darling Nails for 21 years! I have always had the best service single time. Helen and Kim are artists! They do incredible designs ! I will never go anywhere else, because they take care of EVERY CUSTOMER and I appreciate their service!!! Thank you Darling Nails!! read more

I advise to make appointment over phone and they rock! They are super friendly and professional. I would never go anywhere else! read more

I hate to leave this review, I really do but I am FED UP with darling nails. The owners John and Kim are money oriented and treat their customers poorly, who will talk about you right in front of you thinking you don't know; they are extremely lucky to have Helen in their shop. My family and myself have been coming here for over 20 years and just to get treated like we're some random people walking into their salon. I have been coming here personally for 9 years and have cancelled and no showed in my past but this was YEARS ago, as of lately I have been scheduling bi-weekly appointments with Helen for pedicures since she is the only one that will actually take the time necessary. Last week, I was very sick and overslept during my appointment time, I texted them 30 minutes later and apologized and asked if I could either still come in or reschedule- I received no response. I then text them again and asked to reschedule for the following day and they said they could not get me in until the following week, knowing I only like Helen doing my toes, I agree. I called on Thursday (hours prior to my service) to state I was running behind and I would like to cancel my appointment. It's now Friday, I call Kim and ask to make an appointment in two weeks and right away I am told no "Helen is too busy" and I can tell she didn't even take the time to look at the schedule. Kim goes on to yell through the phone "Alexa, we cannot book you because we don't know if you cancel", my response was I gave you guys a 6 hour notice so you can fill my spot and that is my right as a paying customer- she continues to argue with me and basically say because I only do a basic pedicure it is not worth their time and she will only schedule me if I swear to come to my appointment. End of the story, I told them to forget it and I will not be returning to their salon. I cannot continue to support a salon that does not value my service and this has happened to me SEVERAL times with them...like I said, FED UP. Helen when you see this, I am so sorry you work for people like this...I'll miss ya! read more

Don't go here. The photos speak for themselves. The tech was annoyed that I didn't want gel and did a terrible job. You can see through the polish and you can see scratches on the surface because he didn't buff them. read more

Darling Nails is the best! I have been a customer since they opened over 15 years ago. Everyone is so friendly, pleasant, kind, accommodating, and do amazing work. John takes time to make certain my nails pass both his and my high expectations for exceptional service! Kim is an expert who takes pride in her exceptional work. She is a gentle sweetheart who always spoils me with my special pedicures and waxing. She always takes special care to make certain I am happy with her work: massages, ingrowns, shaping, and color choices. Helen is gentle, kind, and efficient. Her customers love her. Peter is quiet, kind, and his work is beautiful, both nails and pedicures. My appointments at Darling Nails have always accommodated my schedule, even when I have made changes to previously confirmed appointments. For those looking for an exceptional nail/spa experience, call for an appointment soon! read more

This place is absolutely fantastic! John did a great job on my nails, and the price was great for the quality job they did on my nails! A full set of acrylics with gel only cost 30 dollars! I highly recommend, and will be going back for a fill! read more

This has been my go-to mani/pedi spot for 6 years now. It's nothing fancy, but it's clean, friendly and they do a good job. They are great at remembering your name and ask about the kids...just super friendly. I only get regular manicures, but I hear their gels are great. Also there is cute little kid chairs, so you can take your little mini-you to get their nails done. My daughter LOVES going. So yeah...I'm a fan. :) read more

I refuse to go anywhere else, they always do a great job and reasonable prices. My nails last the longest when I come here! read more

I'm glad others have had good experiences here because I sure did not. I went in to get my nails done for a special occasion. I was so disappointed. My nails were not smooth, 2 were on crooked and the owners didn't seem to really care that much that I was not satisfied. Besides the language barrier, they didn't seem to understand that my nails were not on straight. I wanted them nice and long for my special occasion but due to the screw up, I ended up with short stubby nails. I have friends who go to the salon but there nails do not last as long as mine do from the place I go now and my friends who have their nails done here have had nails break, something I've never had. I won't go back and give them the chance to screw up my nails again. One thing, they are cheap. But then you get what you paid for too. If I want nice nails that last longer than a few days or a week, I go elsewhere. There nails are cheap, but they aren't worth the hassle. read more

Had a gel polish manicure with Helen. 25 bucks. and she did a Great job! I was referred here by 3 office mates. Helen also speaks English pretty well :) It looks like the salon may have fairly recently had a facelift and looks nice, though as someone else said, not fancy. Helen also told me if you come in for a gel polish, they soak off your old gel polish FOR FREE. read more

I have been coming here for years and I have never had a bad service. Recently I went in for pink and white powder and got the best set of nails I have ever had. Linda is the nail tech who performed my service. She took the time after to go back and make sure I didn't have any skin hanging and cleaned up my cuticles. I will be requesting her every time! I highly suggest her for acrylics! read more

I have been looking for a new nail salon since my regular salon closed during Covid. I found this place by accident yesterday and what a happy accident it turned out to be. Everyone was nice and the place was clean. I had a gel manicure done and made an appointment to take my daughters back later in the day. I was very pleased with my manicure and happily left. Upon my return with my daughters, Kim, who did my nails checked her handiwork and was displeased with how it came out. She proceeded to have me sit back down so she could fix them. Once again I saw no problem with her original work, they were beautiful. But she filed and buffed them to HER standards and they look even better, which I didn't think was possible! I will definitely be returning. read more

This is my favorite nail salon!!! Whenever I get acrylics, they never came off or chipped!! My favorite nail technician is John. He is so good at listening to what you want, and he always does my nails perfectly!!! I would highly recommend to make appointment with either him or any or the other technicians here! read more

I've gone to darling nails for about 7 years now and the quality of service has dropped dramatically in the past year. Nails break, loud environment, and late appointments. However, they do remember your name, any personal aspects you share, and how you like your nails done. read more

I have been going to this nail salon for almost 8 years. Every time I go the staff is very nice. If you want eyebrows done they are great. The gel manicures are awesome. John does great job on nails too. The owners are there but discreet. If you have a problem people tell they and they will resolve it on the spot. I hate bad ratings and they truly are a nice clean place. They are not fancy but do honest good work. As for a comment about language barrier this is false. I have had Holly do my pedicures every time and she is terrific. If you want a great nail place with great prices this is the spot. Becky Curry Chandler, AZ read more

I've been coming here since I was 16, I am now 26. This place has been amazing and employees there have always been so kind and they always remember your name. I get my nails done there and wax the brows. Helen, Holly, Kim are the most sweetest ladies and are always social :). John who is the manager also is a friendly guy who does beautiful work on nails. I recommend this nail salon to everyone who is looking for a clean affordable nail salon. read more

Awful! $45 wasted, I don't even want to go back to have my nails fixed. Had gel polish and acrylics removed to just put gel polish on and both of my thumb nails are disasters after just 1 day. I asked about the gel being "wrinkled" on those two fingers and my tech said "I'll fix it, it'll be ok. No problem." Clearly this wasn't the case. Nail Tech was talking on her cell TWICE while doing my nails, personal calls are clearly more important when handling a customer. Will not go back and will not recommend. read more

Looks can be completely deceiving when you pull in the very empty parking lot to go this solon but let me tell you how amazing everyone at darling nails is...the entire staff in amazing and incredibly friendly! Every customer that comes in whether they have been there before or they just stumbled on this Solon is welcomed with open arms. Helen, Holly, & Kim are all great artist. I always bring in a different Pinterest picture and they execute it perfectly. John and Peter have a great attention to detail as they do the manicures. They have tons of different colors gels and almost all of them have the match of regular polish for a pedicure. Helen and Kim are amazing and gentle when they remove all that unwanted hair and their attention to detail on what's the naturalist look for everyone's face. All around this place is incredible and I would highly recommend them!!! read more

I came in for a pedicure and decided to also get a full set of acrylic nails with gel polish on nails. First of all my pedicure was good. Not as thorough as I'm used to but shill good. Then I was turned over to a male nail tech. When he did my nails it was sloppy, getting acrylic all over my cuticles and sides of my nails. When he opened the supposedly matching gel nail polish it was totally different color than my pedicure color. He told me I was wrong. I didn't like it and showed it to the owner. She had him remove the cooler and put the non-gel color on my nails with a gel top coat. The process took forever, it was the worst acrylic work I've ever had. Plus they charged me the full amount for gel nails when it was just a gel top coat. Very sloppy work by nail tech. Very dissapointed. Will not be returning. Plus unprofessional staff was handing out food and drinks to each other at their stations while they were working on client....Yikes!!!! read more

I love Darling nails! All the ladies are so friendly, they do wonderful pedicures too! I'm picky with my acrylics and gel polish. John is meticulous, I never have problems with lifting or chipping! Thanks Darling nails! read more

I've been trying to find a new nail salon for a while. One nail tech Peter is great but it's the same as every other nail shop. Husband and wife run it they sit in the front they make every one wait in the pedicure chair while they "finish up" the nails and your water get cold. They hover as they walk around looking at their techs doing nails. They talk shit about your nails in a language you don't know when I mentioned it they pretend they weren't as if in dumb. They do seem to have regulars that come in. In case you don't see the 100 signs around they prefer tips in cash read more

I found this nail salon on Saturday. I walked in and was treated so awesomely! Linda AKA "G" did an amazing job on my nails. She even created a 3D Flower!! I am so loving my nails, thanks G!!! And Holly gave a very nice pedicure. Shop was clean and everyone was so friendly!!! Give this salon a chance and ask for Linda :) read more

Gets a little busy even with an appointment, but the staff is friendly and my nails always turn out great and the prices are good.
