EDIT: so, just a heads up (and I've attached the screenshots) the owner of this place is out of her…read moremind. She obviously can't take criticism, and will resort to harassment if she doesn't agree with your review. I have talked to other Yelpers who have had the same experience. This is completely unacceptable from ANY business owner or person. If I didn't like this place before, I absolutely HATE it now. Save your money for one of the MUCH better and much more professional nail salons in Des Moines. This place is a joke. Yeah, I gave this place another shot and I just can't do it. The first time I came, the woman doing my nails seemed really peeved and annoyed. She was very aggressive with how she did my nails, and when she waxed my eyebrows (which are naturally thick) she kept pointing out how thick they were. I told her that's how I liked them, and would just like a little clean up. Instead she made them INCREDIBLY thin, and not to mention uneven. I've never had such a bad eyebrow wax in my life! I also got a pedicure the first time I went in. The manager (I think that's who he was) sat down and started talking to me. At first I thought this was just a nice gesture. Ended up being him telling me my husband (who is a pilot) probably cheats on me, and I on him (I'm a flight attendant). Uhhh... Thanks? Even though completely inappropriate, I've just moved to the area and hoped I just had a bad first experience, so I decided to come back for a fill.. Bad idea. The manager was actually nice this time and kept his inappropriate comments to himself, so I felt a little bit better coming back. But I did have the same nail lady. Even more rude, even more aggressive, and even more nasty than the first time. I asked her if I could look at the gel colors. She threw the basket at me then started telling me to pick from the selection she had at her desk... Um, can't you just get up and grab the color I actually want? I don't recommend coming here at all. I am a very loyal customer when I receive good service, but I think this was my last time here.

When filing the nails she also damaged the edges which I haven't noticed until when I got back home. I came back to the salon asked them politely to fix it and they refused and manager was extreme rude when I tried to complain. He literary asked me " are you done talking" in a very rude way. I paid $81 for these nails and they just look awful I asked for almond shape and I literarily got triangles pointing upward. They did not even try to help and were extremely rude. The worst nail salons place in Iowa.

As a regular customer, it is nice that Julie, Tina and the staff offer special attention to their customers. What I have observed when I am in the salon are extremely rude one time customers who drop in and expect a fill or to be given a mani pedi without an appointment. While I have observed plenty of walk- in customers being serviced, I find some of the reviews crazy critical in what the customers expect. Thank you Julie, Tina and the staff for always being so professional and attentive. Even my husband loved the surprise pedi and said he will go back.

So when I saw Divine Nail Bar was open and very close to home, I decided to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed. It is spacious, clean and decorated in a modern style with an area for pedicures which is what I came for. There is also a section for manicures. They also offer many other services which are detailed on their website. I was greeted by Emily who helped me with color choices and who was also who took very nice care of my feet. I had the Posh Deluxe pedi which included a paraffin treatment and leg massage with hot (but not too hot) stones. All very relaxing and done in about an hour. The staff I encountered were all very nice and friendly. Before I left I made a return appointment!

Even though I told PETER I did not want it looking like that he did it anyway! I said to him "I don't like it", he became upset and filed it off, and said "I've been doing this for 20 years!" I said I don't care how long you've been doing it, I don't like it, I'm the customer, I'm paying for it, and I don't like it!" After he filed it off, he walked away grumbling in his language! I was leaving anyway so I didn't care! Oh and YES, he just wiped the CUTICLE CUTTER with a tiny piece of paper towel and put it back in the drawer! JUST A WARNING FOLKS, GO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
