they say they have a no refund policy and it is posted absolutely nowhere in the store. They also made a diabetics feet infected by not properly. Taking precautions nails have popped off within a week. Do not recommend whatsoever.. read more

The nail tech, Kay, had no idea what she was doing. They left the water running at first, making a big mess as it spilled out of the pedicure tub. Kay proceeded to give me the worst pedicure and manicure I've ever had. She sanded my nails and cut off my cuticles without asking. She left a huge cut on my pinky toe, and did not even stop to clean or disinfect it. On the manicure, she cut five of my fingers, leaving them red and puffy. None of the tools are sanitized despite what the owner might say, and Kay wiped my fingers off with a dirty rag and her ungloved hand. I went back the next day after my toe was in complete pain due to Kay cutting too deeply into my skin. The owner had asked me to come in to "make things right", but all she did was yell at me and tell me to go see a doctor if it hurts that bad. She offered me 15% off my next visit, but I told her I wanted a refund. Ni, the owner, lied to me at first telling me that she was the manager and that the owner wasn't there. She told me that everything is clean, even though I clearly saw the same equipment being used on multiple clients without sanitizing. She would not give me a refund, even after looking at my toe. She said to "go see a doctor" and "wear open-toed shoes". She told me if I wanted money back, to ask Kay for the tip I gave her. She kept saying "this is a shitty business right?", to mock me for something I never claimed. I told her I was not leaving until I received my money back, and she threatened to call the police... all while she was doing some lady's nails. The State of Connecticut does not require licensing for nail technicians, so most of the staff have no proper training or certification for nails. They don't know how to properly sanitize used equipment, and use illegal procedures like "callus graters" on the bottoms of people's feet, risking infection and disease. I have never been to a more unprofessional, disgusting, and absolutely rude business in my life. All I wanted was my money back for a poor job, and what I was given was complete disrespect. read more

Terrible customer service, tiny print policies. Rude nail techs , cheap products bad all around.

I've been to Diva nails many times over the years & love Ni Lee, however my last visit entailed a young male tech who was late for work, had a dirty table & hands/appearance (including black in his nails), hit the skin in my hand with the electric mail file bc he was careless ( I almost bled), complained about the design I wanted in my nails & argued with me about it, & in the end slabbed oil over my hands completely missing my nails obviously purposely. He was completely disrespectful, acted like he didn't want to be at work & was the opposite of what Ni Lee ever was. I want her to know what customer service is like when she is not there. He is horrible. If you go there ask for the young girl who sits in the back. She is surprisingly excellent. I shld have requested her again. I will be sure never the let this young man do my nails again. Ni shld get rid of him. read more

Highly recommend!! read more

I had a few customers come into where I work. Every time I asked where they got their nails done they said Ni from Diva Nails. After the third person I had to go there to see for myself. I made an appointment and was 15 minutes early, but she was ready. The time spent and quality is superb. I felt like other nail salons I am often rushed through. The other staff seemed friendly as well. I definitely recommend. read more

I made two appointments for 3:30 at Diva Nails. I got there at 3:30 and at 3:50 asked how much longer. I asked for a certain lady to do a full set, and she wasn't even there!! They told us it was going to be another 30 minutes. They argued and came up with excuses as to why it was going to be a 30 minute wait when we had an appointment. I understand 5-10 minutes, BUT THIRTY? The ladies were extremely rude I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!! If I could leave 0 stars I would. Unbelievable. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I went to diva nails for my prom nails and my finger got the worst infection from this place and because of the unsanitary tools they used. My nail swelled, filled with green pus, and made my real nail begin to fall off and I had to see the doctor twice. Waste of money. Pictures of the infection and nails below. read more

Don't waist your time or money. This is my 3rd and final visit. My daughter also was coming here but that's not ever gonna happen again. I already was only coming here for convenience I should have known better. If you are looking for quality over quantity this not the spot. Definitely not at there level of work for that amount. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the time and $$$, go Elsewhere!!! read more

John is the best..love him and my nails ..

Normally I go here however last time I went there was a very rude lady who took me. She kept offering me other treatments when I clearly wanted to only get one thing and to move on. She was very rude, did a terrible job, and expected a tip after being that rude. Never going back, I'll stick to Tiara Nails read more

I went to Diva nails before more than a few times actually..those times my nails were obviously nice enough for me to go back wellllll the last time I went the guy who did my nails did such a horrrrrrible job! My left hand of nails was a totally different size than my right; the acrylic was filed down so poorly that in person you can see the dents !! (And no I didn't mess my gel up) He cut my nails all different lengths not to mention burned my nails/cut my cuticles because he was in such a rush filing my nails ! I never complain nor am I picky about getting my nails done ever ! The sad thing is I didn't even notice until I got home ! I WAS SO ANGRY I DIDNT EVEN GO BACK I GOT MY NAILS SOAKED OFF THE NEXT DAY AND A NEW SET BY VI NAIL ALLL THE WAY IN EAST HAVEN ! read more

Very disappointing. Don't recommend. Felt like a rushed job: First time coming to this salon and last. Had a pedi and felt like I could I done a better job. Went to get a refill from 3 weeks ago from a different salon and I swear my old nails were better looking than this even needing a refill. Nail polished not evenly. Nails longer than others uneven nails, just crappy job read more

HORRIBLE!!!! WORST FULL SET IN MY LIFE!!! I went there today for the first time and will NEVER RETURN! I had an older Asian man named BOB. He roughly removed my cuticles caused me to BLEED then he proceeded to give me the wrong shaped nail and wrong design! IT WAS THE SLOPPIEST WORK I'VE EVER SEEN AND I HAVE SEEN BAD MANICURES! I didn't know what to say or how to handle the situation. HE DIDN'T EVEN CLEAN MY HANDS OR HAVE ME WASH THEM LIKE YOU USUALLY DO GETTING AN ACRYLIC FULL SET! When I asked him why i haven't washed my hands he told me IT COSTS US TOO MUCH TO DO THAT! I paid him the 45.00 plus a 5.00 tip because he asked me if i wanted to leave a tip and I guess I'm just way too nice of a person. As soon as I got a chance to really look at my nails, I burst out into tears! Never again! I will never try a new nail salon again! read more

I have been here 100's of times ,but this time was perfection. Sandy is AMAZING! I have alot issues and she was gentle ,understanding,and caring ! If I could give her 5000 stars I would. Recommend her if you want amazing results too. She is only there Sundays . I hear alot of negative reviews about this place ,but I have never had a bad experience here . I wanted to fix toenail and she just did that and relaxed me the whole time. I fell asleep for a half hour. read more

Best quality nails I've ever had. Irvin always listens to exactly what I want. I typically bring in photos and he's always able to replicate them for me. Every time I get my nails done elsewhere they seem to chip and peel after a week or two. When Irvin does my nails (gel) they never chip- the only reason I have to go back is because my nails grow out. Really love his work read more

Don't waste your money. I spent $80 on my nails just for them to begin lifting the next day. I went back and they told me I could get them fixed but only with the same nail artist which of course led to the same outcome but with them breaking off this time. Don't waste your time or money! read more

Half of the staff are so rude , only 3 can actually do nails but they always have a full schedule. Also So pricey i did my nails and toes just color and it cost 60$ which I kind of understand because i had a pedicure but it was 25$ . Got a little design on both toes which they charged me $5 for each . Im sorry but a 5year old can do so much better. For my understanding NOW that i checked other prices it should of been 35$ or 40$ max. Oh and thats not all , I payed in cash but if i was to pay in credit card it would of been $70!!!! read more

I'm wondering if the service here has changed, I replied to the owner and never got a response, I've received responses from other customers with similar experiences. I reread my post every time and I get mad all over again at how rude this man was. Hopefully he is gone. Hopefully the owner gets in contact with others with grievances as well. Still by far the worst nail salon I've ever been to, read more

Went to Diva Nail Spa for a gel manicure because I happened to be at the mall. I'm so disappointed! This is a picture of what my nails look like 3 days after. Notice the clear coat has peeled off of 2 of the nails. Also, my middle finger has 2 coats of red, while the remaining 4 fingers only have 1 coat. I even questioned if there were 2 coats put on because I didn't remember the technician doing it. Of course it was even more obvious when I got home, but I wasn't about to drive all the way back to the mall to ask if this could be corrected. read more

This place is an absolute disgrace of a salon. First of all, they are extremely rude. I went in to get a manicure thinking I was going to only pay $35. Nope! Not the case. Their website reads $35 for a manicure. I ended up paying $65. $65!!! Wtf!!! They did not tell me this until after they were finished. Second of all, the manicure sucked!!! Not what I asked for at all, and they ruined my nails!! I asked for gel three times, but to no avail, she still gave me normal acrylics. There were chunks missing out of the acrylics, and the sparkle is already falling off. Absolutely awful. Would give it zero stars if I could. read more

I have been coming here for a long time. I originally switched nail salons and I loved this salon.. because Ni does amazing nails but she has only done my nails once due to the fact every-time I go in there she's simply TOO GOOD to do my nails acts like her crap don't stink. I have spent 1,000s of dollars at this business and the customer service I get has been so disrespectful I'm forced to find a new salon after today. I shouldn't of even had to pay for my nails today. I come in with a PICTURE of the nails I want done and she acts like she can do it and then my nails look like a joke afterwards.. I feel like I've come in here and they are just experimenting on my nails. Don't do peoples nails for a living if you hurt people while doing their nails, are flat out rude and don't even have them leaving satisfied. I give clear instructions on how I want my nails done and what I say is ignored and you guys just do whatever you want. Don't ask how long I want them before you cut them SHORT, instead of multiple coats I only got one coat of nail polish on my nail.. how long is that gonna last? My nails are chunky.. nail polish is uneven and nail polish on the sides of my figures. I wanted straight lines on my nails I got sloppy wavy white lines! If you didn't know what your doing you should've said so and I would've asked somebody else there to do it! I don't want to leave with messed up nails.. I came to get my nails done fresh perfect and nice. The way I left today is crazy and impulsive. People in here need a reality check on how they do nails. Not to mention I came in here once to get a nail fixed and they told a like 12 year old boy to fix my nail and he didn't even know what he was doing he hurt me multiple times .. made me bleed and considering I come here a lot I shouldn't be given to a young boy in training.. I should be given to somebody who knows how to do my nails and receive good customer service. I can't even get these trash nails off of my hands now, and I'm stuck with them on for a month. I'm disgusted by the whole thing and I honestly will not pay another dollar to this facility read more

I have heard great things about this place, but when I called to reschedule my appointment (because I was sick)... Irvin was so rude and hung up in my face. I would not recommend this place to anybody. If I could rate no stars I would. Even if you don't need the business....there is no need to be so rude. I will not be making any future trips here. read more

I have came to this nail salon on and off to get a full set and pedicure over the years and never had a bad experience before, tonight on the other hand was very poor service. The woman who did my nails was more worried about making tip than the quality of the service she was providing. My nails are spotty, my toe nails are too short, kind of hurt actually. She used a drill on my toe nails that hurt. The implements didn't look all that clean. I understand it being a busy place but the service being provided should have been of good quality, I was not going to pay at all when she said $76 for a total. I paid $60, the woman at the service desk was very understanding and professional. Being someone who also works in the beauty industry the service was unacceptable. Hoping they can learn from the mistakes and improve. read more

I continue to get excellent service from Diva Nails. The reviews that were posted after mine have brought the rating down which I don't believe is fair. If you are looking for excellent nail services you can trust this place. read more

I love this place! I go here every two weeks to get my nails done. The place is always super clean and the very up to date. They always know the latest in nail trends and new techniques.

WAY OVER CHARGED!! $60 for a child to get a manicure and pedicure!!?? Then when asked about the price couldn't explain to me how it added up then I was told because switch from the child care to an adult chair the service should still be the same!!!OVER CHARGED ME BE CAREFULL!!!! read more

Absolutely horrible experience. I believe my technician was named Amy? She cut my fingers twice, deep. Nails are a mess, thick, bumpy, lopsided, and ugly. They then told me that somehow my fill was $50!? Insanely awful. read more

I know a lot of the reviews are bad about this place, but I honestly have had god experiences every time I've gone here. I've only gotten pedicures here, but they have always been great. So it's sad to see so many negative reviews. read more

I will no longer go here. I get charged different prices by the nail techs literally every time I go in. They do add ons and don't tell you. I go here normally 1 to 3 times a month but after tonight no more. The sign said gel pedi $38, gel mani $28 so I got both. Which is $66 but my card was ran for $79 and I got blank stares when I asked for the difference back. Furthermore, the girl left me for 12 minutes during the middle of my pedi for no reason. Just looked at me and said she'd be back in 10 min and disappeared with another nail tech. It took 2.5 hours for everything. Extremely disappointed tonight. Also, the male technician that sits on the right was acting like it was funny. He seemed unprofessional and had no client and very clearly understood my complaint and just ignored me instead of helping the woman at the register. read more

Came here to get an acrylic fill and regular pedicure. First of all, it was very busy, but there were 3 workers standing at the front desk, and no one wanted to acknowledge me or my friend. So eventually, we finally get seated in the back, and our toenails looked very pretty, and the techs doing our toenails were very nice ( I only got the name of one: Crystal) However, after only 2 days, the bottom of my feet feel very rough, like the lady buffed them but not thoroughly. Other than that, my toenails look really pretty. My fucking fingernails though!!! Im beyond pissed. I told my lady that I have a broken nails under one of my acrylics so please be careful because it hurts really bad, and this dumb bitch literally yanks the acrylic the fuck off and cracks my real nail underneath, even more, then she proceeds to starts filling the nails, they are crooked as fuck. When she starts to fill, the acrylic is extremely thick and bumpy, ​and she was very messy. she burned me multiple times with the electric filer thing, and when she painted them she left air bubbles, and streaks on and around my nails. I had to ASK HER to clean up my nails. on top of that she finished wayyy to fast for comfort, and she was kind of a bitch. Her station was also the dirtiest out of all of them, its on the right side, third row, closet to the wall . NEVER IN MY LIFE WILL I COME BACK. dead ass it is not worth the money at all. read more

I went to this place in April for the first time and had an amazing experience! One of the guys gave me a pedicure and filled my acrylic nails. And I got my eyebrows done and it was only $65! Since I had this great experience I went back. This time a woman did my nails and it was awful. It took 2 hours for a fill and pedicure (I had no more time to do my eyebrows) and she was on her phone the entire time. Barely said 3 words to me. And I was charged $65. So I gave it one more shot. The last lady was super nice and did a great job but I was charged $70 for the same fill and pedi (and no eyebrows). So I guess it is a hit or miss there. read more

Horrible service. They charge you extra to breathe their air. I was rushed out, and left with crooked, lumpy and thick nails.

I was excited going into this salon for the first time because of the reviews, but my experience made me question my decision. The nail tech was Kevin. I felt rushed out, ladies getting fills were there before me and still there after me getting a full set. I asked for long nails and they are the shortest I've ever had and all different. Wanted acrylic and got powder gel. After explaining why i came to a new salon (my nails kept lifting and breaking off from other places), i was assured these would stay on because of an extra layer of gel, and they're already lifting one day later. Got white tips and after asking for them to be a little thicker got told "your nails are short and that would look weird"; which was embarrassing since i had asked for long nails and there was someone sitting right next to me. I had high hopes for finding a new salon to frequent but am just disappointed. read more

Horrible !!! My gel nails didn't even last and week and they false advertise !!! They have a sign saying students receive a 10% discount which is false ! I wouldn't recommend anyone to this nail shop read more

I went with a friend to get our nails done. She had previously gone here before and liked the results. She got an acrylic fill and I wanted a full set of gel. Everything was fine, they were very nice and polite. (Mind you this whole time I am telling them how I am getting my nails done because I am getting my maternity photos done on Sunday and I wanted to have nice nails.) This woman literally mangled my fingers. The gel was lopsided, rough, and all my nails were crooked. She filed the sides so much that I was in pain and they became too narrow so my fingers look huge with these little nails glued on top. I left, came right back and asked for them to remove them and give me a refund. They refused and said they would fix them. I even went to another technician after the woman who orginally did them made me cry because she told me that there was nothing wrong with my nails and there was no way that she was going to help me or give me a refund even though I told her to keep the large tip I gave her to begin with. Another customer even came over and was looking at my nails saying that she could see there was a problem and they looked crooked. So after having them do my nails twice, sitting there for 3 hours, paying over $60 for nails(tip not included) that I hate, and having sore nails from all the filing I have to go to another salon and pay to have them redone for my photoshoot. I would never recommend anyone going here. They have no clue what they are doing and then if you don't like something they turn on you. Worst salon I have ever been too. read more
