After looking through reviews on both Google and Yelp, I've read a few that are terribly skewed. I've been a patron of Dip Nails for well over a year. Despite claims from other reviewers, the ladies at Dip Nails are always very friendly and accommodating. They do their best to fit you in if you haven't made an appointment or request a last minute appointment. They do an awesome job with all of the services that I've ever purchased (Dip, manicure, gel manicure, gel pedicure, eyebrow wax), so I'm baffled by some of the reviews posted. It almost seems that some reviewers are just being spiteful or trying to solicit free services. I've also seen this take place in person while getting my own services. 10/10 recommend Dip Nails. They always do a great job. Do yourself a favor and get pampered for a change. read more

Wow, I walked in around 11:30 on a Saturday afternoon and got right in. I called when I was 5 minutes down the road and they said come on. They seemed pretty busy with many walking in for set appointments so I was surprised to have gotten right in. The water was lovely; very hot like I like. I splurged a little and went for the #3 luxury pedicure with regular polish. The milk & honey collagen package is absolutely divine. The lotion is cooling and feels like it's promoting blood flow to my legs. I loved it! The girl who did my pedi was amazing, strong massage that never seemed to end (well worth the extra $10 for luxury pkg) and the polish was perfect. This is my new Salem favorite! Next I'll book a mani when I have more time. The place is clean, well lit and has plenty of parking. read more

Here we go again! This is my second time coming in for a pedicure. I have faith! Great job, excellent place to pop into without an appointment. Much better the 2nd time around. I recommend giving places a second chance to prove themselves in most cases! They have new nail kits, so bring yours back! That will save you $5! read more

DONT GO TO THE MAN. I booked a 11:30 appointment did not get seated until an hour later waiting on somebody to my nails. Specifically asked the lady if they can do exactly what the picture looks like she said yes & it would be 55$ so I waited it out not getting mad that I booked a appointment just to still have to wait an hour til we got started. the man that did them skinned my cuticle with the machine & kept shoving my hands down I didn't once say nothing but "ouch" when it started bleeding I told him to make sure they are square please and he rolled his eyes kept grabbing my fingers, twisting them way to hard, never had somebody turn them so much like that then ending of the process he insisted they were 75$ not 55 after he did them and I told him that wasn't right but he kept yelling saying " no you pay 75$ " so I felt stuck in the moment. Worst experience I've ever had anywhere before. Got them done last week and I'm booking an appointment soak them off because first of all there see thru you can obviously see that's not what I ever wanted from my screenshot .. not the length nor acrylic powder or even shape and when I even got home I had to fix some nails to match the others shaped . read more

the customer service was okay but the nails were nothing like I asked for i had to ask for something that I had asked for in the beginning and was told no but eventually they put it on, overall the nails weren't anything I asked for and it felt very rushed with the nails.

I recently moved to Salem, Or and with this whole pandemic I hadn't explore much other than this other place which I'll never go to again (bad customer service - it's Beauty Nails) located at the mall. Anyways going back to this 5 star yelp review. I LOVED MY PEDI AND NAILS. These are my esa nails and I love it when they shape and look like your natural nails (like it should) not bumpy, uneven, crooked etc. CHAO is the girl to ask for!!! Hands down I will keep coming and asking for Chao. Pic is attached hope you like her work as much as I did! I paid for gel pedi and dip on my real nail totaling $84, worth the charge! Thank you Chao for listening to what I want and was looking for... read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. My mom and I came here to try it out since it had good reviews. Now we came there and my mother had this older lady do her nails and wouldn't talk to my mom at all. My mom tried to tell her how she liked her nails and the lady couldn't speak English and didn't understand her. Well after two days my moms FINGER got INFECTED. The side of her nail got swollen and pussy!! We had to have her doctor drain her finger. It was bad and I took a picture of it after it was drained but please do not go here!!! It took forever for her finger to get better! They do not sanitize or clean their tools so save your fingers!! read more

Disregard "Grace's" review. The Walmart Bhad bhabie didn't deserve any respect. I come to Dip nails every three weeks to see my girl Lida & I constantly see the same faces bc this is a reputable, high quality business. Therefore there's regulars. The women are very helpful & friendly always. It's a great atmosphere & I recommend it to everyone. They do an amazing job every single time. Don't let bad one time customers skew your views! read more

waited in the salon 3 hours just for a pedicure.. completely avoiding doing my full set. helping people who just walk in before me, completely disregarding me when I talk. Says they can't do long nails or designs.. I settle for a short set with a simple white French tip. Says none of the 5 workers can do that.. I said that's fine I'll just get a solid color. still decided not to help me after 3 1/2 hours .. unprofessional & unorganized read more

I came here for the first time yesterday to try the dip powder nails as that's something I haven't tried yet. I read reviews before deciding where to go and couldn't help but write one myself after my experience. Everything was super clean and they even called to confirm my appointment. I got a full set a little longer than I usually do in under an hour. They're perfect!! My tech was super detailed, made sure they were all the same length, were straight and checked with me at every step. The biggest thing I noticed was the atmosphere. It was so welcoming and fun! There was a baking show to watch on the TV and most people there were regulars. Everyone was joking around and having fun with each other. Super non-judgemental environment! I can't remember my techs name but she sat with me in the very last chair next to Linda. I'll definitely be going again! I like to stay loyal to people I trust and enjoy but I can wholeheartedly say I think I'd trust anyone in there to do my nails. read more

I've been here three times already, and I have loved them every time I've gone. The pedicure was absolutely delicious, the massage chairs work well, and their selection is of great selection! Relaxing atmosphere, a little crowded when there are people checking in, but we're required to wear masks as is the staff as they have implemented necessary safety precautions. The quality of work they do here, lasts a long time. I have only ever needed to come get my nails done once every month or so. read more

I got a full set of acrylics at dip nails. I wish I would have asked for the name of my tech, but he seriously gave me like finger bang level work at twice the speed and half the price. There's no niceties here. You will get your arms pulled and fingers slapped away. But if you care more about beautiful nails than bedside manner, you'll be happy here. read more

I have been going to this nail salon for three years. Every month I ask for the same nail technician. I have never been dissatisfied, disappointed or unhappy about any of their services. The staff is always welcoming and accommodating. The only downside is that they're usually pretty busy, so while they'll take walk-in's, you'll have better luck with an appointment. read more

I usually have really good experiences here but my latest visit was very disappointing. I made an appointment for my friends and I (3 people total). One manicure was supposed to start at 11:30 and the other two at 12. We all three arrived at 11:30 and waited 30 minutes for them to start the first manicure. At 12:30, we were told that there was only two nail techs available so the sets would be back to back rather than at the same time, and that each set took 45 minutes to do. At this point, the remaining two of us decided we didn't want to wait that long as we had plans for the rest of the day. We anticipated being done by 12:45-1pm, and if we had stayed, we wouldn't have been done until 1:45-2pm. After telling them we changed our minds, they complained about us to my friend who was almost finished with her manicure and glared at us the rest of the time we were there. Sadly, I won't be returning again. read more

Got a French Tip manicure at Dip Nails one week ago, and I'm very happy with how well it has held up. I work with my hands and they look great. The staff is friendly and they have a TV playing baking shows in the background so there is something to look at. There were people waiting when I arrived for my appointment but they seemed to be moving people through quickly and efficiently. The gentleman who did my nails was super nice. Solid choice for nails in Salem. I will be back! read more

Very nice and took the time to do a really great job been looking for a place closer to my place

I hate giving bad reviews. But honestly, I think people should be aware of a few things and hopefully, by me sharing my story, might help someone else. First I just wanted to say that my initial first impression of this place was fantastic, The owner Linda was sweet, and booked me or an appointment for today, as yesterday she was booked and the 2 ladies that were there were ranting and raving about them saying that they followed them from another salon. This made me very excited. I wanted to find a place that I could come to on a regular basis. My appointment was at 11, but when I got there, they were incredibly busy and didn't seat me for another 15 minutes, and only after seating a walk-in who was waiting there when I came in. I've never had dip nails before. Linda told me that it would be 30 to get my gel removed and a dip applied. Turns out when I paid it was actually 40. NBD. But then I was told when I was paying that I would be charged for the nail file (an additional $2). AND that she was charging me an extra $3 to remove the gel, (which is apparently not included in the $40). Now this is where I get upset. Rewind about 30 minutes and the lady (not Linda) didn't catch her name, who was filing my nails with the brand new file that I was going to be paying for, is being very rough on my nails and slices my finger. I yanked my hand away and told her that it hurt. She looked at me irritated and said "its cuz your nails too short." when she finished, I showed her where she cut my finger, and it was at that point she reluctantly said sorry. First, I don't think I should have to pay $45 for nails where you jacked up my finger and then blamed me for YOUR carelessness. Second, It would be helpful if you had a disclaimer posted about the nail file policy, or disclose this to customers before you start working on their nails, so they're not obligated to an additional charge that they are not aware of. Third, it would have been nice to have some of that fee waived, considering what you did to my finger; and Finally, it's also a bit rude to be on your cell phone multiple times when you're with a customer. Not only that but its a bit unprofessional. Transparency is pretty much a form of honesty, and when your prices are vague and charge people for hidden fees, it makes people not want to come back. Also, take accountability for when you mess up, apologize and be genuine about it, don't blame the customer for your error. YOU cut my finger because YOU weren't being careful. By the way, my nails are 1/2 inch past the fingertip, so, its not that short, but either way, that's not the reason my finger was sliced open, it was you. On top of that the attitude towards me when I pointed out your error just made it worse. read more

I saw that this place just opened and had good reviews so I figured I would give it a shot. I called and made an appointment and was able to schedule next day. Two pedicures, two manicures (one shellac one reg.) The inside is clean and nicely updated. There were a couple down sides. They charge extra for certain polishes and certain foot scrubs. I appreciated that they let you know prior to doing it. Also, they used very little lotion when doing the massage which was not very pleasant. Would HIGHLY recommend setting an appointment because people came in and they were asked to come back later due to nail tech availability. Lastly, they ask if you wanna leave a tip when paying with card which is kind of awkward. They don't have a tip line on the receipt. All these things are minor. My nails came out good and will probably return!! read more

Great service! Very friendly and welcoming. I brought my 8 & 10 year old in for mani pedis before school started for the year. Usually gel polish doesn't last on their nails but it did this time! 2-3 weeks it was still looking good. We will 1000000% be back! read more

I've never been to a nail salon I was really impressed with until now. These guys are so good! I got dip French tips and the relaxed pedicure--totally recommend the upgrade, I got a hot stone massage on my legs, extensive scrub, long massage with lotion... and the mani is perfect! I always get them kind of short so the grow out isn't as bad and they last longer lol... they're thin and even thickness (which--sounds like a low bar but the first time I got dip nails elsewhere they were humped and uneven). My mom also got a mani pedi and her feet look amazing.... she has thick toenails and heel calluses and they used a Dremel for the toenails and a special grater for the heels. They clearly put a lot of work in, pay attention to detail and hold themselves to a high standard! read more

I've heard good things about this place from a co-worker and so I took a chance and got my nails done for the New Year. I'm so glad I took the chance and strayed from my my typical place. The salon is cute, tidy and CLEAN. Unfortunately I am unsure of who did my nails specifically, however watching the nail artists around me they were all doing beautiful nails! So I'm sure no matter who you see you will be impressed. I will definitely be back! read more

Love Dip Nails & so happy I came across them! The dip (SNS) powder builds a nice hard coat over your nail that will last until your grow-out drives you crazy and you need to come back in! My nails grow fast so 4 weeks is pushing it. Other ladies' I've talked with go 1x/month. Great quality and hundreds of colors to choose from! The salon is very clean and tidy and all the ladies are really nice! They also have lots of pedicure chairs which would be great for a big group pedicure date. read more

Dip Nails - Three colors for today's appointment- Nails by Linda - Nail Salons Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I had stop coming here for 1-2 years because the customer service and communication is really bad. The owner would yell at me over mistakes they would make, scheduling or length of nails I wanted. When I would get pedicures I would ask to not get lotion or scrub because I don't like texture and the scrub irritated my skin and every single time I felt like they would make fun or judge me for that. I liked the way Lida did my nails so that's the reason why I kept going back. Well today I decided to go back and someone else did my nails, I asked for long nails over the phone and I thought I heard the lady say "yeah we can add a tip (to make them longer)" however when I got there the lady said "no, we do t do long nails only Lida does and I said we can add dip" the whole thing was miscommunication from them, I tried explaining myself but the lady kept talking over me. I told them I didn't want the pedicure anymore and to just do my nails (she had already started) well, my nails looked bad I wasn't happy with the whole experience so I walked back inside to get them taken off and even though she offered to fix them I sad I wanted them off and she could keep the money. She said "I don't want your money you didn't like them so you can have it back but don't leave a bad review" I couldn't believe what I was hearing and to be honest I wasn't planning on leaving a review but because if their bad service every time I've been there I wanted to share this with others whom maybe have had similar experience. read more

I have been searching high and low for a good quality nail salon that specializes in dip powder. My search for a stellar nail salon has finally ended! I've moved from California a little under a year ago, and have been trying out different nail salons. I'm so glad I have found this wonderful nail salon! Doing extensive research, I found that Linda had great reviews. She totally brought my poor fragile nails back to life! I scheduled precisely for 2 weeks out. Thank you Linda! You are the best! read more

Almost 5 stars ! The only downside is that they don't label which samples are for dip or shellac. So everyone is constantly asking them which is for which . My suggestion is for them to purchase key chains with the letters S (for Shellac) D (for Dip), B (for both) then just attach them to the ring they have the colors on . Such a simple solution to issue because the system they use now which I think is just putting them in diff baskets ISNT WORKING as ppl put the color samples in which ever basket is nearest. read more

So.. I did pay and tip, but this was not a good experience. I made an appointment far in advance for a regular Mani Pedi for two to celebrate my friend getting married. I should've known when on the phone the woman instituted I get gel instead of regular on our fingernails. We get there and only one woman is there to do toes for us, so she starts with me. Eventually another woman comes over and starts my friend and another comes to do her nails. She is very insistent we do the dip nails even though they don't have to be long. We're like ok whatever, it's for a special occasion. They move us around a bit and don't let us carry our stuff and LOST MY FRIENDS ENGAGEMENT RING. She found it on the floor. The nails took forever and there was no lotion or cuticle oil or anything just the nails got dipped chunky and painted. Also, my toes AND fingers are all cut up around the nail beds and hurt so much. Over all, it took 1.5 hrs and cost $80 each, which I think is incredibly unreasonable for what happened. I'm not posting a pic of my toes but today, the next morning, the skin around the nails is all red and swollen... read more
