My manicure/pedicure was not done well. The nail tech told me the polish was dry when it was not. When I left it started peeling off. . . .Moreover, when she asked me to pay I said I wanted to pay with a card and she pointed out that I had cash she could see in my wallet. She told me the bill was $49. I gave her $60 cash. She did not offer me change. I will remove the crappy polish job and do it myself, and never go back. Also, the instruments were not sterilized after use; I watched her replace them in her cart without doing so. To be clear, I would have given her a great tip if the work had been good. read more

I booked a manicure and pedicure at Diva Nails. I had a gentleman tech who looked and acted like he didn't really want to be there, and did an adequate job with my nails. He did the bare minimum, and without any enthusiasm or interaction with me. My biggest issue with the salon is that I don't believe they sterilize their equipment, and he used what looked like a small sander on my feet for calluses, that looks like they never clean - just use the same tool on each person without a way to clean it or sterilize it - yuck! I would only recommend this place if you are absolutely in a pinch and can't get in anywhere else. I will not be going back. read more

for a couple of years now, I make a point to go close to when they open on Saturday or Sunday, and always have excellent service. I LOVE that this is the one place in Santa Fe where no one has ever badgered me to get a service that I didn't want, such as upgrading my pedicure or getting gel polish -- anything I politely refuse, they say OK and aren't pushy. Always polite and rather prompt, I don't feel rushed and can just chill in the massage chair while my polish dries. Due to my choice of times to go there, it's usually almost empty or just medium busy. read more

Always great, so relaxing. Can just walking but I like to make an appointment. Pedicure deluxe is so good. I love my go to girl.

If I can give this place zero stars, I would!!! This place is absolutely horrible. I would not recommend it at all. Not only did they do a terrible job on my nails. They made me sit there because she put the wrong polish on my nails. I approached her about it, and she got pissed and made me sit there and would not do my nails. They cut me and did so bad I went home took it off it was that bad. It's dirty. They're rude and have a horrible customer service. read more

I made an appointment for a powder manicure and regular polish. Upon entering I had to explain twice what I wanted. They tried to get me in a chair without my first picking a color. I had to be adamant that I wanted to pick the color first. I was handed a color book but before I could pick it was snatched out of my hands. I was handed a ring with garish and fluorescent colors. None appealed to me in their powder selection. Disappointed. Secondly I was told to put my foot in the pedicure chair basin and it was SCALDING hot. Third ,the male "technician " pulled out a Dremmel to remove REGULAR polish. Communication skills were definitely lacking . No owner nor manager were present to take control of the situation. I walked out of the salon without services. read more

I have had a couple of pedis here and I have not had bad experiences at all. Fast service, pleasant people. It's nothing fancy (not a "real" spa day but a quick affirdabindulgence). Works for me! read more

They had all of us sit down for pedicures feet in the water without telling us their internet was down and they couldn't take credit cards. We found out when someone came in to use a gift card. read more

The past 3 gel manis have barely lasted 3 days without chipping. People are nice but it's not worth the $ or the time. The first one chipped within 2 days, the second one an entire nail peeled off, and the last one chips almost instantly. These are just regular gel nail polish. And one of the three times I was in bed for 2 days sick right after, so I'm not unusually hard on my nails. They also don't seem to sharpen or replace the cuticle clippers so it always feels like they are ripping skin off versus cutting a cuticle. read more

They were very detailed and shaped my toes bert nice! The ladies were polite and fast

Went in for an acrylic removal and left mortified. My nails were treated so harshly, they are feathered from being nail filed back and forth with vigor, drilled to no end with so many dings to the sides that they look so wonky. They were cut so short because of the dings that I can see the skin under my nail which is also cut now from the intense nail file. The clear coat is all over my hands and not even fully on my nails. There are blobs and missing spots and hair attached to the polish as well. I called and there was no manager or owner to speak to. Just overall 1/10 experience because at least they were all kind hearted. But no one offered to redeem this situation even though I was noticeably not happy with my service. Paid full price and all. Never again. read more

The people are nice enough, but the polishes were all old and the tools did not appear to be cleaned between customers. Good enough for a quick pedi if you are in a pinch. read more

Ivy does a swift and beautiful job! She delivered exactly what I wanted and everyone there was so friendly. They were upfront with their pricing which I appreciate and they also offer both walk-in and appointments! I've tried other places but they are either rude and pushy, tell you prices after giving you a service or just do a bad job... none of that here! I highly recommend. read more

Went for a gel manicure. Asked if they take walk-ins and the guy said yes and directed me to a chair. The woman gave me the available colours which were not many. When I picked the one I wanted she told me that was the wrong one and to pick another colour! Seriously? So I said I wanted the one I chose but she gave the samples back to me and said pick a colour. So I got up and started walking out. She hadn't even touched my hands, but the guy started following me out yelling at me that I owed him for a gel manicure I didn't get just because I sat in the chair for 1 minute looking at colours and being told I picked the wrong one. Stay well away from this place. read more

After calling several salons to get in Friday morning this place answered and we headed over to be seen right as we walked in. We had 3 people so me and mother in law were doing pedicures & sister in law did full set. We are from out of town and happy to find this place while visiting. Also Sante Fe has some of the best locals as we were chatting it up in there with other patrons... read more

I'm from out of town and was looking for a mail place. When I walked in I was greeted but the first think I noticed was the clutter at the door and dust. It seemed like a mail table was there with furniture chairs on top of it and it looked like it had been there for months. I was seated in a pedicure chair and it was dirty with hair and dust. The massager was less than stellar really old and a man had to come and turn it on from the back of the chair. The lady doing my feet was nice but she did not unpackage the tools in front of me and she used a dremel to sand the bottom of my feet. I didn't see her change that either. When I sat down for my mani she she pulled tools from out of a draw. Needless to say, I'm not going to this place ever again, there is not that much desperation in the world. Just not clean at all. I don't even know why I didn't stop the service all together. read more

Diva Nails & Spa - Pedicure, polish job is not smooth or neat at all! - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

I haven't had acrylics in years so I thought I'd try again. Last week I went to a place and the results were awful; thick and bumpy. Today I went to Diva nails. The place was packed with men and woman but the wait wasn't to long and if it would have been it still would have been worth it. Cathy had me come to her station and we did a quick consult. She took her time and I love the results. Cathy was also very friendly, always a bonus. I will definitely be going back. Thank you Cathy!! read more

I called them to see if I could be seen right away for a mani and the women said yes, I came within 3 minutes and ended up having to wait for over 30 min. Only reason I didn't walk out is because my mother was being seen. When I asked the women who told me there was no wait she just smiled and said sorry. So unprofessional. Liars. How can you trust them to do anything good if they are dishonest on communication. read more

I really wanted to like it and most of the staff were friendly. The place was unclean. The pedicure I received was one of the worst ever although my manicure was nice. read more

Surly service. I was yelled at twice and the guy who did my pedi just grunted at me and I was having a repair done on a fingernail and the guy didn't know how to do a dip and didn't use a tip when it needed one and told me he wasn't going to do the nail and then insulted me. The woman who manages the place is good and finished the nail but I won't be going back. read more

I've never had a 20 minute pedi before. My friend joined me and it was the same for her. i guess the Board of Health doesn't bother checking these spas. My guy cleaned off his scissors from all the dead skin.from his prior client. No real equipment to expedite drying. Worst looking pedi ever. read more

Needed a pedicure, a nail fixed and a full set for my granddaughter, on a Sunday. They got us in, and got everything finished in an hour! Prices were reasonable, staff was efficient, cleanliness was (not the best). Being from out of town, I didn't want to spend a lot of time - so they exceeded expectations there. If you want ambience, go to a spa, but you won't find one open on a Sunday and you will pay way more. Better reviews than anywhere near our hotel. We recommend for basic services. read more

Woman who did my pedicure was good. But overall place did not look clean. Lots clutter /boxes on floor near walls. Work stations were messy with dirty product bottles and dirty waste baskets. Had laundry baskets with dirty rags laying over. They did have masks on except one woman took hers off and didn't replace for half an hour. Good thing was they had plexiglass shield in between worker and client. I would expect a neater, cleaner business with the pandemic. Their CC machine wasn't working so only accepted cash or checks. I gave check but man wanted me to leave To line blank but I refused and wrote in the business name. Will not go back. read more

Went here for a mani and pedi because my normal spots were all booked when I tried to make a last minute appointment. Was thrilled when they were able to accommodate a Saturday morning appointment. When I arrived, it was nothing special which was fine. They got me into a chair pretty quickly and began probably the worst pedicure I've ever gotten. The nail tech went to trim my toes nails and cut down way to short cutting me immediately, I screamed owww and pulled my foot away. She smiled and then continued to do it a 2nd time. Later she tried to file the same area! I'm pretty sure she didn't speak English but apparently she didn't speak the language of humans either. Picking up on pain, discomfort and distress is a universal language. It was also obvious that she cut me as my toe started bleeding. She didn't even acknowledge it, clean it or anything. Eventually she put something on it to stop the bleeding which looked like super glue. Not once did she say sorry or are you okay. She then proceeded to flood the foot bath because she never turned the water off. Water was everywhere and started pooling around the exposed electrical cords to the chair. Eventually when I made a comment about safety, she stopped the pedicure and got towels to dry it up. Needless to say, it was not a relaxing experience. The manicure was much better though. I had a different tech who was friendly and skilled. After this whole experience, I realized I must have left my $30 water bottle there. I called the next day and spoke with the manager who said, I could come check if I'd like. I told him I live 45 minutes away and I didn't want to make the trip if it's not there. His response to my request for him to check was "Sorry we are busy. Uhh we can call you back" and hung up without taking my number. Definitely not going back here! Terrible experience and customer service. read more

Solid nail salon. Plenty of staff. I never wait more than 10 minutes as a walk-in, but they do take appointments. Throw away liners on pedicure tubs. Metal tools in barber solution. Files and sponges thrown away. Most staff in masks. Half wear gloves. I don't know if they also have an autoclave. read more

It was very dirty. I don't think any of the nail tools were sterilized. The nail polish on my toes is sloppy. A simple manicure left with hang nails and skin hanging around my cuticles which I had to clip when I got home.I would not ever gotgere again because of how dirty the salon is. read more

I am typically skeptical about getting manicures along with pedicures only because manicures typically chip basically the second I open the car door after getting the spa treatment. However, to my amazement, as I type this, I am currently looking at my very clean, nicely shaped nails that... HAVE YET TO CHIP! I am pumped! This truly means DIVA NAILS ROCKS! I was introduced to Diva Nails by my mother, she took me and my sister for a little pampering! We had an appointment, but honestly, I don't think appointments matter that much as when we walked in, every nail technician was working on uncallusing someone else's feet or buffing out someone's fake nails. We waited for about ten minutes and luckily all three of us got seated for our pedicures first at the same time. The pedicures were amazing. The nail technicians were very meticulous, attacking every inch of our feet! The best part hands down was the exfoliating salt scrub prior to the massage!!! I could have had her scrub for an extra 3 hours... But they don't offer such a treatment on their list of services. I am also happy to report that my toes look adorable! I took a picture of a design I wanted painted on my toes, and my designated technician copied the image exactly (Santa Hats - Hey, even my toes need to be festive this time of the year!) And when the red ran into the white, she gladly fixed it without a blink! The next time I come to Santa Fe, one of my first stops will be this nail salon because I haven't experienced such great service in awhile. I hope they're ready for some NASTY TOES when I arrive back here, because I don't think I will go anywhere else because not many other places top this one. read more

I am having a hard time finding a good nail place. I thought the person doing my nails today was doing a pretty good job. I liked the way he was shaping my nails, but I changed my mind from square round to square. Not only did he respond kind of rudely about it, the nail gel looks pretty bad. I feel disappointed that I didn't get what I requested/ wanted, even after I asked. In fact, even after he asked if it was "ok." Why do you even ask them? I feel upset when nail technicians give attitude when a client makes a request for what they want specifically. I'm paying for a service and I would appreciate the time and attention to detail to make that happen. read more

I am done with DIVA Nails-been going there for years because they're close to my house. I am done because their polish is old and they have to add nail polish remover which often times results in a bad finish to my nails. In addition, I have found the nail techs to be rough with me. Yesterday when I told the tech she was hurting me, she laughed-I stated you're hurting me and she lightened up a little. I guess you get what you pay for, but I won't be going back here. read more

I went for the removal of the acrylic nail and new polish nail- poor job ever! Waste of time and $! Disappointed here!

My daughter and I went in yesterday at about 4:00. We were curious about the mixed reviews. There were no customers in the salon. We wanted manicures and pedicures. The "manicure" that I got was very painful. She used a sanding sponge to remove my cuticles. Every one of my fingers is skinned up and one bled quite a bit. After that, she put the color on but didn't really file and shape them. Neither one of us is happy and will be more careful of places with negative reviews. I cannot understand how anyone receiving this type of service would leave a positive review. Oh and the tech doing my daughter's pedicure sneezed right on her 2 times. He didn't even turn his head. Gross! read more

On a Sunday I desperately needed a fill on my nails and went in as a walk in. I was skeptical at first because I am a nail tech and a perfectionist with my nails. I showed Henry a pic of how I wanted my nails shaped. He did an AMAZING job!! I like my nails very specific; thin and not bulky, not flat with a curve to look natural, and smooth around the cuticle so the acrylic doesn't look thick and too fake. He did a better job than I was expecting! He took his time and used different drill bits to ensure the natural look of my nails. It's been over two weeks and my nails still look amazing! Hardly any growth at all!! I will definitely be going back to see Henry! read more

Did a walk in pedi and gels with tips. They were able to take care of me right away. The exfoliating scrub during the pedi was great. I felt like they did a good job of helping my poor flip flop abused feet. Henri did my nails and he was great! He shaped them to my liking, which is hard because I'm pretty picky. Thrilled with this place. read more
