This is a great mail Salon. Prices are fair and the service is excellent. I have tried a few places but this is the best. I always feel great when I leave read more

I've been going to this salon for almost three years and I am really surprised at the poor reviews. But as we know, people are more inclined to post a less than stellar experience. I have never had a bad experience here. And I'll be honest, I am pretty particular. I like consistency, I don't like thick nails and I like a technician that listens and tries to give me what I am looking for. Everyone at this salon has been great. I started going to Kim specifically and love her work. My husband even started going for the pedicures! I would HIGHLY recommend this salon. I would also suggest that people who go here and like it, post their good experiences! read more

I made an appt, I usually go here because it's close and I usually have no issues. But this time the lady who did my nails was either was having a bad day or something. I showed her the Inspo pic, she said pick the color, I showed her the blue I wanted for the tip, and told her I wanted the pink in the picture for the base, it's more natural, She said I can do this but idk if we can do the flowers let me ask. We sit down and she's doing my nails, I told her I wanted square square like in the picture (I kept referencing) she repeated it back and said okay, She then rounded my sides... For the tip she painted a straight line and used the brush to wipe away, she asked how it looked and I said I want the blue along the sides more, like in the picture. She wiped with the brush again and said okay. When it came time to paint them she only put one coat of everything, it looked so splotchy and there was a literal spot missing out of the paint, and she said oh I can't figure out why that happened...... At that point I gave up. They didn't have the flowers so I compromised with rhinestones. When it came time to pay, the lady said "$45" I said Okay! They started talking to each other in their language then when the lady rings me up the reader said $65. And I said "$45 or $65?" So she looks at the reader and said oh! $65! But you had to manually input the price so why are you acting confused? I paid and still tipped $10. Went home and I hated my nails , so I called them the next day and told them I wanted them to fix them, they said okay I went back in and this time when I was looking for the color she was getting irritated with me, they were ALL talking about me, I wasn't rude I didn't say anything I just kept my head down and let her fix my nails. She asked me what's wrong with them and I told her "they just don't look good, you can see right through my nail things not pink, my edges are round, my tip is wrong..." I found a pink I liked and I didn't attempt to have her do the tip again because I just didn't want to deal with it. When she fixed them they looked a lot better. But they didn't charge me and I definitely didn't tip. If they weren't so rude I would've tipped her for fixing them at least. But I didn't like they they were being disrespectful when they messed up. Oh well. If you want cheap nails this is your place. But if you actually want quality just find a better spot. I'm never coming here again. read more

They just did a remodel and raised their prices a lot. I asked to have my cuticles trimmed which did not even include a soak and they charged an additional $10. A pedicure a fill, and a dry cuticle trim was $85. I will not be going back. I will be finding a new nail salon. Very disappointing for sure. read more

I have gone to this place a few times and the customer service is terrible and the pricing isn't consistent. I got my nails done two days ago and the pricing was way higher than the time before I went, when I had gotten gems and designs... One of my nails had broke the next day, so I went in to get it fixed but they were too busy so I made an appointment for the following morning. When I got there, she was already running behind then when it was my turn she tried to do someone's full set before fixing my ONE nail.. I super glued my nail back on until I was able to get it fixed so instead of actually fixing my nail she tried to just paint over it.. After all of that, she charged me 10$ for a nail that broke within less than 24 hours of having it on. All in all, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Go elsewhere read more

Pricing and service is inconsistent. The last time I went, I felt as if she was rushing. French tip was not straight. Looked at my toes when I got home. They were uneven. Went in yesterday to get two nails repaired. One was extremely lumpy tried to have her fix she just layered more polish on top. Safe to say that was the last straw. Won't be returning. I really tried to be a long time customer because it's so convenient, but I want quality each time I go. read more

I can't speak highly enough about this place! I've been going to them for years for pedicures along with my entire family and they are always so welcoming and do a wonderful job. On top of that they always try and squeeze me in even when it's very hectic hours. I recently started doing gel nails and designs and they always exceed my expectations and the shellac last at least two weeks! So you really get your money worth. I tried to other places one for convenience and one while I was out of town and nothing compares to the way these ladies do my shellac! read more

Do not go here they're not up to date with current nail trends. Charged extra for long acrylics. $2 each finger= $20 on top of full set and another extra charge for them to file/shape it. I showed the girl a picture of how i wanted my nails to look n it looked nothing like it. read more

You know that Angelah Johnson nail salon video about the nail technicians talking crap about you? Yeah that was EXACTLY how this experience was. If I had an option, this salon will be rated no stars. It was my first (and last) time here. The technicians were rude and clearly didn't care about the quality of their job. What kind of nail tech has never heard of ombré? Even after I showed them a picture of what I wanted, they kept telling me they cannot do it. No other alternatives or options. It was just a straight up no we cannot do it. I've been to other salons that are capable of doing dipping powder in ombré. I came here to have a manicure and while this technician was filing my nails, she almost took off my pinky nail too. I literally jumped in my chair and said "ow". She filed it too low to my actual nail that whenever something brushed against my pinky nail, it was sore. Then she complained to another technician about me because I was reluctant to give her my hand to file my other nails. Another lady had to come to finish her work. Obviously I didn't want some that didn't know what they were doing working on my nails, especially if I'm going to be paying money for the service. I told the second lady what happened and she said she will be very careful with my pinky nail. She was better than the first nail tech, but the quality was absolutely terrible. She was rushing through the job that at the end, there were bumps in the polish. I could've just painted my nails at home and saved myself the trouble. My friend even took a look at it and said I shouldn't even pay for it. One of the other nail techs even had the nerve to look closely at my manicure and tell me "oh it looks so good". Seriously? It looked like a 13 year old did it. So at the end of the day, I didn't end up getting what I wanted, the job was terrible quality and I almost got my nail chopped off. Yeah, I'd think it's safe to say this is my worst nail salon experience yet and will definitely not be back. read more

Im surprised that masks and head phones and earphones are not enforced. Mask sign are everywhere but people are talking on their cells without masks and watching movies loud on their phone without any headset. Definitely not relaxing.....disappointing. read more

Wonderful nail salon with incredible service! I tried going to other salons in hopes of a shorter commute but coming here is definitely worth the drive for me. I have never left disappointed and have asked for incredible designs that I have photos of on my phone and they have been able to perfectly match them. They also do an incredible job on basic dip manicures and I always leave very pleased. They have definitely gained a loyal customer. Only issue I have ever had is that the pricing is very inconsistent. read more

UPDATE: The quality of work at this salon has gone from hit-or-miss to just a miss. I personally won't be going back. There are lots of other nail salons, I'd recommend trying one of those! read more

I'm always nervous to go to nail salons because of my past experiences with rude workers, but the girl that did my Pedi was amazing! She was super sweet and very helpful. Took her time with my feet and gave me a nice massage with hot towel. $25. This was my first visit and definitely not my last. Thank you all so much! read more

I wish the menu explained the differences between Deluxe and Regular manicures/pedicures. My manicure lasted less then a week, so that was disappointing. If I could rate on service, this place would be 5 stars though! The owner and staff are very friendly and engage with you while providing your services. I'd go back if all I needed was a police change. My sister received a fill and she loved it! The owner did a great job on her nails. read more

Have gone for years they have gotten so bad I won't return. Have gotten sloppy rushes and do poorly job. You would think being a regular for years they would be better with you, but no they cut your fingers when they file shape is bad they don't listen pedicures are rushed also. Their more eager to move in to the next customer than give good service to the one they have. Even when know ones there they still rush you . Don't listen they just don't care. Saddens me they have become so bad. read more

I wish I can give them no star review. They literally took just 10 min for my pedicure and when I asked them why are they rushing instead of listening the girl was rude. And they start talking in there language so bad that you can tell they are talking crap about you. And giving me really bad look. I gave them one more chance after my last bad experience but never again. I waisted my money and my time. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! read more

I've been here about 8 times and only had 1 good experience, but I was desperate. A new low today, my nails look terrible!!! She hurt me with the sanding tool, made me bleed and gave my nails about 3 swipes with the sanding bar; and they are rough and look awful. She left to work on another client and I had to call her back to apply top coat. They were rude to almost everyone, including a woman who walked in they said "we're pretty busy right now" without telling her how long the wait was or when she could come back. The cashier took my card and walked away, I had to reach over and grab my card myself so I could get home and try to fix the mess they left me with. I wish I could leave zero stars, or even a negative number. will never be desperate enough to come back. read more

I love this place so much, I don't even want to leave a good review so I can keep it the hidden gem that it is. The ladies are all very sweet and they always do an excellent job. I also appreciate the clean environment, the free massage, and the fact that they auto - clave their equipment. A+++ read more

Ok guys I decided to give this place another chance I believe everyone deserves a second chance and this is the last chance they get I got there super early like when they first opened up make a long story short my nails look horrible I stayed in there for like an hour and my nails did not dry good after they told me they were dry then my nails are different shapes not all the same shape the only thing that look good is the color. The kicker was they sign said one price and they charged me another never again last but not least customer service they had like a tense angry vibration in there. #dontkillmyvibe# this is not the place to go if you want to get your nails done and look good. I came here because it's close but I wish them well on their business not worth the money or the time my money deserves a better place to be I love my money and it loves me . You get what you pay for is not true no matter how much it cost if a person love what they do then you will too. I gave two stars because one worker was nice the other two people that was there need attitude adjustments. I like the color of my nails read more

I just don't like this place. It's so very inconsistent and sub par. I try it again usually because of time constraints and I never know what I'll get. I only have myself to blame if I ever give them another chance. read more

I walked in here today for a fill. There were five techs and one customer. Two of the techs were snuggled together behind their stations watching videos on their cell phones and laughing and chatting in Vietnamese. Mom was sitting behind the counter doing nothing except maybe babysitting. Another was polishing the only customer in there. I was directed to pick a color and sit down. I knew there would be problems when the tech started filling before she had removed all the loose and lifted acrylic. When I expressed concern I was told it would be fine. Needless to say, I just received the worst fill I've ever gotten. My nails are misshapen, and pitted and lumpy. (See photos). I even told the girl after the first coat of polish that they were terrible and she just kept polishing them. She said they'd be fine when she was done. They're not fine. They are a mess. I prepaid before the polish and included a nice tip in advance. As I normally do, I paid in advance and included a nice tip. That turned out to be a huge mistake. Today's service did not deserve a tip. Unfortunately this is very common around here lately for some reason. I have yet to find a nail place that will do a fill that leaves me with perfectly shaped and smooth nails. The typical quality that is out there right now is very substandard. I'd love to find a place that puts out quality work consistently. I'd never go anywhere else. But I have yet to find a place I'd go back to. This one was one of the worst. I'm getting tired of paying for fills and having to strip and rebuff them smooth myself when I get home. If you want the loyalty of quality customers who return again and again, you need to put out quality work. What I got today was the worst service I've ever gotten. I will never go back. If I have any Facebook friends out there who know of a nail place that will rock my world please let me know. read more

I loved the lady's service and the color was amazing and I loved how my nails and toes came out i had such and amazing experience here and really recommend it i will definitely be coming back‼ read more

This used to be my favorite place, but my most recent experience was a bit disappointing. I got a gel/shellac manicure 6 days ago and 2 of my nails have already chipped. Previous gel/shellac manicure I have gotten have lasted for 3 weeks without chipping, so I am sad that this one lasted for such a short time. The nail grooming part of the pedicure was very good. I am really picky about how my toenails are cut, and they did a great job! On the flip-side, my feet still felt a bit hard and dry when leaving and the polish on one of my toes is chipping after 6 days. As previously stated, this used to be my favorite place to go. After my last experience, especially with the gel/shellac manicure, I probably won't be going back. The women working there are wonderful and extremely friendly, but for me, the quality of the service is what is most important. On a positive note, this one of the few places that gives a very nice massage along with manicures and pedicures. read more

I love this place! It is always clean and pleasant, smells good and the staff is always friendly. The space is brightly lit with natural light. The electronic massage chairs are comfortable and the foot baths are clean and warm. The nail artists are always gentle and cut your nails just the way you want them. The price is perfectly reasonable. I would recommend Des Moines Nails to anyone who is looking for a reliable local nail salon. read more

Very gross experience, they tried doing my moms manicure with tools they had just used on someone's pedicure, there was even dirty nails in the little tray. Would never recommend. read more

I love going to Des Moines Nails! I have been to many other nail places in the area and always find myself going back again and again. They know EXACTLY how I like my nails done and don't let me down. If there is ever a problem I will go back and the ladies are more then happy to fix it. I just love my nail ladies and I love their work! I always have at least 1 of my kids with me and they are always so awesome with my kids too! read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE!! No others words to put it. Was told to take a seat and waited 2 hours only to be told last minute to comeback tomorrow. I proceeded to tell them I could have been told that from the start and not have waited. The staff of lady's continued to talk to one another and after a minute told me they will do them quickly. My nails turned out HORRIBLE and looked nothing like what I asked for. I asked twice if they were capable of doing a ombré affect and they said yes , I also showed a picture of what I wanted and at the end it turned out that they clearly didn't know what they were doing. At first they said a full set of acrylic was 28$ then later said 33$ only because I got them a little longer, That makes no sense ! My friend also was told her set would be 33$ then before paying they said 46$ because of the nail polish they used ...... They kept changing the prices and they told us last minute before paying . Horrible service never would I return! read more

Just had the best pedi and calf/foot massage from Jenny to kick the summer off. I will be returning.

After yesterday I will no longer go to this nail salon! Not only was I rushed, but she also was telling me how I wanted my nails done the whole time as well as telling me she did not have time to do any nail designs for me. In addition she totally was being careless when she was doing my line underneath my French! I am very disappointed and regretful being I payed full price for exceptional work in which I did not receive. I would definitely not recommend this salon, do not waste your money or time, they are not professional nor worth spending your money at. Every dollar counts and I will say it again do not waste your money at this salon. I almost forgot she was going so fast, my pinky nail is crooked! read more

Got a fill less than a week ago, one of the ladies offered shellac products. When she brought out the colors I was more interested in, they were all dried up. I declined and said I wanted just a regular french tip manicure. She at the end charged me for shellac which was $35! I am not going back, the top part of my nail is coming undone and the fill is visible on my all my nails. Worst nail job ever. Not going back. read more
