Haven't been here in awhile and called to see if I could get in day of. They do not do walk-ins and our appointment only. They were able to get me in an appointment 15 minutes later. My technician, Misty, was fantastic. I originally wanted to do a red nail, but upon seeing her nails that had a cat eye effect, I had to have the same. Fantastic service that came with a wine beverage. This is definitely the way to pamper yourself for a self care day! read more

My sister-in-law and I have been yearning for nail designs lately, so we switched it up from our "go-to" salon to Diamond Nails. They recently expanded their location, so it's been under construction as of late, but the new floor plan is HUGE! They now have an entirely separate area for bridal parties, and that is a really neat idea - having privacy on an important day so that the entire group can be together is really nice. One thing that I really enjoy about Diamond Nails is also a downside, which is that they can pretty much always get you in. Don't get me wrong, that is really great for people with busy schedules, but it also means that the place is always swamped. Good for the salon, bad if you're looking for a quieter, more relaxing experience. They always ask you if you want something to drink though, so a glass of wine to calm my nerves is wonderful for my social anxiety! The nail techs are extremely talented, and I always leave the salon feeling refreshed and beautiful. The designs that they can produce on a whim are pretty impressive. For my appointment last night, I had found a fun design on Pinterest and showed my nail tech, and she blew the design out of the water! Part of the expansion included adding a larger row of foot soaking tubs and relaxation chairs for pedicures, so I definitely plan on making an appointment again soon - my feet need it! Diamond Nails is fabulous, and overall love the experiences I have had there. read more

I popped in here with my cousins for a nail appointment. We all liked our nails. Staff were able to get us an appointment on short notice and we were all able to sit next to each other. I did wait for a bit but it was a Saturday and packed so I was expecting a little bit of a wait. Seemed very clean and the staff were definitely knowledgeable. I got a gel x set and I think they turned out really good. I'm actually two weeks into the set and they're growing out nicely. read more

Everybody who works here is so nice, they offer complimentary drinks (Diet Coke, bottled water and wine, they know their clientele) it's so clean and always busy when I go in so you know it's a great spot. Availability is always amazing too because they have a pretty large staff. I just came in today because one of my toes chipped and they didn't charge me to have it fixed. I tipped them of course. But I love coming in here. I've tried a few spots in Madison and this is my favorite. One lady did accidentally bleed one time but I'm seeing that as a possibility with a pedicure on my cuticle. No biggie to me anyway. read more

I specifically see Mishelle for my manicures and she always does a fantastic job, however when she's unavailable other staff have helped me and everyone who works here is great.

This is my 3rd time at Diamond Nails, and I have been so impressed every time! My nail tech Mindy went above and beyond with just a simple gel manicure and pedicure. Great attention to detail, lengthy massage and scrub included in the pedicure, and both nail colors I chose were tested on a nail first to make sure I was happy with the color. Mindy was finished with my manicure, but wanted to get the shape perfect and went back in with more gel to correct any imperfections (I saw none). Total collectively for a gel manicure and pedicure was only $70, and they serve WINE! A super relaxing experience, and I can't wait to go again! read more

I called on a Friday night and they got me in for Saturday morning which was great. It was so hard to find a place that had good reviews and were also transparent about prices! I scheduled for a pedicure and gel manicure. After talking with my nail tech she pointed out that dip is better and lasts longer so we changed it up a little during my appointment. Someone said "anything is possible", and that rang true there with their flexibility and eagerness to help the customer. The one thing I was disappointed about was that my nail tech didn't give me an actual manicure before doing my dip nails, and I noticeably needed it. I already have an ingrown cuticle. But I also realize this may have been because of time and switching up my appointment last minute. Either way, I think I will go back. My pedicure and dip manicure with minimal length came out to be $82, and they were very transparent about prices before I made any decisions. read more

We were running late, so they helped us schedule a later appt, and did really good with the inspo pic. Total came to $58 dollars which is reasonable. She was really gentle with the nail file, and always double checked whether I like color, or design. It's busy, so I would recommend booking an appt. Excited to come next time! read more

This place is SOOOOOOOOOO unclean. They can do about 30 manicures at a time and around 15 pedicures. They speak over the loud system so everyone can hear who is next in line. They offer water or wine but the place is so unhygienic. If you want a dip extension they don't even give you a regular manicure first. They don't take care of your hands at all. They don't get rid of hang nails. They don't clean under the nails. No massage or lotion. They don't push the cuticles back. Just a horrible experience. read more

In the past couple of years I have been going to really crappy nail salon who rush me in and out and are rude to me throughout the entire process. But not here, I drove 1 hour to come to this place because no where near me could do a good job with nails or service. I have never had a better experience. They offered beverages when I arrive with my friend, they held up good light hearted conversation and they did a great job on my nails. They would even get excited about the nails they were doing no matter how intricate or simple they were. If you want an easy going place that takes pride in their work, this is the place to go! I am definitely making the hour drive to get my nails done from here on out. read more

So, I contacted Diamond nails after my dip manicure fiasco (6-17-18). The manager got back to me within an hour and offered a gift certificate to give them another chance. 07-11-18 Today I went in for a pedi and shellac mani. The pedicure was ok...not the best but definitely not the worst! She didn't spend a lot of time with callus removal or massage - maybe 30 minutes total start to finish. I chose to get a shellac, just because I prefer how thin it it compared to the dip. The experience and the appearance was much better. However, they still use the grinder on your nails - which I really dislike! 1-11-19 I have multiple co-workers with perfect manis, that swear by Diamond. So, I decided to give them another chance; and boy am I glad I did! I got a Shellac Mani with Ken on 12-15-18 and my nails still look perfect (red nails)! It's been 4 weeks!!! I have NEVER had a manicure last this long! read more

I absolutely love this place. This is my main nail salon, and I've come here almost once a month for 2 years. After only 3 visits, the staff recognized me and greeted me very nicely. With how much traffic they receive, it is a very welcoming feeling. I get a mani/pedi almost every time I get here. The pedicure services are unmatched in Madison. You get free wine, and the pedicurist massages your lower legs before they paint your nails. I've never had a bad pedicure. I vary between dip and gel manicures. Dip nails are $5 more, and it's another $5 for the manicure service. The gel nails include the manicure service. This is pretty standard in most nail salons, so the prices are very reasonable to me. Both dip and gel services are very fast and well done. If mistakes are made or if the nails are not satisfactory, they will ensure they fix it right away (so speak up if you're not satisfied! They are very nice and understanding!). I don't think I can go to another salon in Madison. Love this place. read more

Seriously, a 25 minute spa pedicure? I was early so what was the rush? My feet soaked for about five minutes max, no buffing of toenails to even out ridges, my cuticles were cut with a nipper which is a no no, the callous remover was just a rasp used on dry skin, my toenails were not cleaned underneath so the dirt showed thru my neutral polish color. What did I pay for? Not to mention that even after waiting 45 minutes for my polish to dry, it's now all chipped off one of my big toes so even the polish was a bust. Stay away!!! read more

There was also a private room for lashes and waxing, and two bathrooms. Kat (the owner), along with her staff, were extremely accommodating. She let us set up a small table with treats and goodies, and also offered beverages (wines and water) during their services. I don't get my nails done too often, but this stood out to me. A set of set of sealed and sterile tools were pulled out and used each time. From what I recall, most technicians place their tools in bin or glass with water, and do a quick rinse or microwave before using them. The tools here definitely seem more reassuring! And seems more efficient. Kat was also very knowledgeable and openly shared info when asked. Overall, we had a great time here! The only reason I subtracted a star was because my classic mani/pedi is already chipping and it's only been a couple days! This was probably my fault for not choosing shellac or dip--but I'm definitely going back for a French Ombré!

Let me tell you about my wild adventure at this so-called "bougie" salon. Buckle up; it's quite a…read moreride! So, I had a 3:00 p.m. appointment on June 20th. First, they asked for my credit card info just to have on file. Not sure if they do that to everyone or if I looked extra suspicious, but who feels comfortable with their card details floating around some random salon? Not me. Anyway, I arrived, and they shoved a notepad in my face, making me read and sign a waiver at lightning speed. A waiver for a salon visit? This place was already giving me "sign away your firstborn" vibes. The kicker? If I sued them over COVID-19, I'd have to cover their legal fees too! Just a heads-up: read before you sign anything here. Despite their "Bougie" facade, there was nothing upscale about this joint. The dress code, at least for my tech, was highly questionable. She wore a dirty old bra with a worn-out tank top and shorts so short they constantly migrated to her crotch. I asked for a "professional" tech and was assured mine was top-notch. Professional? Not in this universe. When we got down to business, I asked for almond-shaped nails, but we settled on round since my nails were too short. The polish removal process was a marathon--30 minutes!--and then she started trimming my nails without looking, slicing into the skin beneath them. Ouch! I yanked my hand back, not keen on sacrificing my fingers today. She just stared blankly at me. Fabulous. Filing my nails was like watching a toddler color outside the lines. Then, she dropped the bomb: two of my nails would be square-shaped. Excuse me? I said no, but she insisted. So, I borrowed the nail file and demonstrated that round nails were indeed possible. Without a word, she walked off to another tech and complained. Cue the drama! The "master nail tech" stormed over, shouting, "Hey, hey, hey!" (That's not my name, by the way). She launched into a tirade about how clients don't file their own nails. Felt like I was back in kindergarten getting scolded by the teacher. Finally, I asked her to trim my cuticles. Instead of using a softener or water, she just yanked at them dry. It was like watching someone prune a cactus with their bare hands. I asked if they ever used a softener, and she bluntly replied, "No." Charming. As I complimented her nail art (because why not try to be nice?), my manicure wrapped up, and I was left alone waiting for my pedicure. That's when the salon manager approached me and said my nail tech didn't feel comfortable continuing and that I needed to leave. Shocked but not one to make a scene, I prepared to pay for my crappy manicure. As I took out my credit card, the salon owner suddenly got hostile and threatened to call the police if I didn't leave immediately. WHAT?! I was just trying to pay! She stormed outside, so I followed, phone in hand, ready to record. They charged me $4 extra for the nail polish remover, likely because I was a "special" white Ukrainian with a heavy accent. As the owner ranted about a "language barrier," I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity. Outside, as I recorded on my phone, the owner bizarrely wanted me to take some other client's used water bottle and claimed I had a language barrier. Lady, I understood everything perfectly: you overcharged me, refused me service, and acted like I was the problem. Newsflash: it's you and your "bougie" salon with anger issues. By the way, it turns out I'm not the only one who's had a run-in with this place. According to Google reviews, being booted out seems to be their favorite sport, right up there with charging extra and providing subpar services. So, to anyone considering a visit to this "Bougie" salon, beware! You might find yourself signing away your legal rights, dealing with a tech in a dirty old bra, and being yelled at by someone who thinks "Hey, hey, hey" is your name. And if you're really lucky, you might even get kicked out and overcharged, just like me. Cheers to finding a new salon where the only surprises are the ones you actually want.

I walked-in on a busy morning for a pedicure. There were 4 ladies ahead of me and two people…read moreworking only. 3 of the 4 ladies were near the end of their service already. I wait for about 25 minutes on the massaging chair with my feet dipped in the water. The water was nice and warm, but after time went by, it got a bit cool. Or maybe my feet got used to the temperature and needed more warm water. Mary work on my pedicure. I got the Luxury Pedicure. She scrubbed the shit out my feet! To be real transparent, I had some dry callous that I wanted to get rid of (why I came in the first place) so I loved that she took her time and irked on my callous. Mary did an amazing job at removing my the callous. She used a foot shredder-looking tool and some callous softener. It was real nice. She used like 2-3 different oil and lotion to massage my feet and calves. I remember one of them was purple and it smelled very good. The Luxury Pedicure also came with hot stone massage. Hot stone massage was okay, until Mary used the warm rock and pushed it against the bottom of my feet-- it felt so nice and I had to tell her that it felt very good right then and there. After this, the service was followed by hot towel wrap on each claves and bagged wax for each foot. Mary went to work with another client who walked-in wanting to do their nails. The wait was quite long and I started to begin to feel unattended. The hot towels were now cold and I was starting to get cold because I had wet towels wrapped on each claves. Probably 15-20 minutes later, Mary came back. She was apologetic and thankful that I was waiting. I didn't mind, but it did got to me a little. I was getting cold and wanted my pedicure to be done already. She came to give me some more massages with oils and lotions. We chatted and it was cool. I felt pretty relaxed and cared for during the service, the wait in between was a bit too long & threw my mood off. If you're in a rush or have things planned for the day, I'd say schedule an appointment or just be aware that on a Sunday, there may only be two people working and service may take longer than usual. There is a $1 charge if you use card. Bring cash if you want to avoid that. I don't know if there are additional charges if you want gel polish, etc. I didn't get any polish with mines, just my preference. My total was $61. Overall, I had a good experience and I would come back here again.

By the time he was done drilling my nails down I could see through my natural nails they were so thin and could bend in half. The only reason I'm giving 1 star is bc they gave me a bottle of water. So uneven, not drilled, disgusting nails. I am from out of town and am incredibly disappointed, I then had to go to target and buy my own drill to somewhat fix them.

I rarely ever get my nails done, so when I wanted to splurge I found that this place had a pretty good rating. They were so amazing I created a yelp account just to leave this review. Great deal for gel extensions, only $10 more than a regular shellac manicure. They take all major credit cards but prefer if you pay in cash, but they have an ATM with no ATM fee which makes it very convenient. They offer you a water, tea, or wine when you walk through the door and let you take your time looking at colors. They set my appointment up with Steven, who was so wonderful! He asked me throughout the process if I like my nails, the shape and the length and was very meticulous, which I feel was very different from my other experiences in which the technicians always seemed to rush. My nails are perfect! Exactly what I wanted. read more

I have been losing weight and am more comfortable having my feet in sandals. I decided to treat myself to a pedicure and manicure for hitting my first weight loss goal. I called and they got me in. It was pretty busy but the nail tech I had definitely knew what he was doing. I usually drive from Waunakee to New Glarus to get my nails and haircut but decided to give them a try. I was glad I did! I am going back today for another manicure. My pedicure is holding up so good that I don't need that done yet. Dan is super nice when you need to make an appointment and so friendly when you get there. I highly recommend them! read more

I absolutely love this place. I tried a pedicure when I got the Groupon and they did a fantastic job. I stopped in again about 6 months later for the same service and they remembered my name, where I worked, everything. I was blown away. They have some of the best customer service I have ever experienced and their nail work is top notch. Besides that, the color selection is great, the bottled water is a very nice touch and the massaging chairs are super comfortable. read more

I absolutely love this place. I go here for both manicures and pedicures. They do take walk-ins and the staff is always very friendly. I am always a happy customer when I leave. They take such good care of me there! They do both regular polish and gel so you have your pick. They do accept credit cards but they prefer cash due to the high fees of the credit card companies.

Salon managers Dan and Lana are extremely racist. If you are a minority they will try to have the nail tech do a rush job to get you out of their salon. DO not bring children, you will get evil looks and they make you feel very uncomfortable. This salon stands to only serve Caucasians. I will never return. There's plenty of nail salons that will appreciate their customers regardless of color. read more

Best gel manicure and pedicure I have ever received. I am very picky when getting gel/shellac nails and Diamond Nails went above and beyond. Gel hasn't chipped for the 6 months I've been going there, and it stays on for 3weeks +, if I am not able to make it back within two weeks. If you are picky about gel/shellac nails, this is by far the best place to get that done in the Madison area. read more

An hour and a half was spent on shaping my nails alone. My manicurist was throughout my service talking on the phone with multiple different people, laughing and chatting with her fellow coworker that was seated next to her not working, and operating very slowly. At one point she was on the phone with the police and asked me to translate the conversation she had. Very unprofessional. I partially attribute the slow working to the attention to detail on my nails and shaping, but often it felt she was just taking her time. I left the salon with cuts all over my nails and hands, as well as gel polish cured to my fingertips. My hands are still in pain days later. The facility itself is dirty, with the desks for nails being dusty and clearly unclean. My nails turned out okay, my manicurist did not ask for my input in the style of nails. When I suggested that the design I requested be altered several times, she just decided to paint them however she thought looked best. Also, this place charges for different nail shapes? Not something I have heard of or experienced prior.

Due to the service we received and the less-than-impressive results, I would not recommend this salon to someone looking to get their nails done in Sun Prairie. When I arrived, they seemed to have over-booked themselves, as they didn't seat us for over 30 minutes. During the pedicure, I asked for a French tip design, which ended up being a pink polish that dried bumpy with a shaky white line along the top. The water was initially lukewarm, and we were left sitting with it for another 30 minutes. As I mentioned, I initially booked 2 classic manicures (not gel). We were both convinced into switching to gel polish instead after we asked for designs, as the techs said that the designs would turn out better with gel. I asked for a small design (stars on two nails), and the designs ended up smudged and looked sloppy, which the tech refused to correct when I asked. After the tech was done with my friend's design and the polish was curing under the lamp, she experienced pain due to the heat and quickly withdrew her hands. The tech was rude when this happened and seemed frustrated and impolite despite her expressing pain. We both ended up with polish all over our hands, which the techs did not remove or acknowledge. Although the people behind the front desk, who I believe were the owners or managers, were very polite and thanked us for being patient, the techs seemed rushed, were rude, and were upset when asked to make corrections. The nails look OK from a distance, but as the person wearing them, the quality is underwhelming. If the mani/pedis had been higher quality, I would have been willing to look past the issues. However, with the subpar service, long wait, and disappointing quality of the treatment itself, it was simply not worth the $200 I spent.

Especially when getting nail treatments I am very particular about cleanliness to avoid infections and Cozy Nails & Spa was definitely up to par. Additionally they had cute decorations throughout and always have entertaining shows on in the background. I got a special set done about a month ago for my birthday but this most recent time I was coming in to get it removed and a normal manicure to let my nails breathe. My nail technician was Chia. She was very kind and did a great job checking in with me and making sure she was doing what I wanted. One of my favorite things about Cozy is that every time I have gone, I make an appointment, and they honor that. Lots of other nail spas will take walk ins even with an appointment on the way and you have to wait to get started 30 minutes past your appointment time. This has never been the case for me at Cozy. Chia did a great job and was done within 45 minutes. The total for gel x removal and manicure was $48.
