I had to do epsom salt soaks 3x a day for 5 days just so it wouldn't hurt to walk on.

My biggest issue was I felt the manicurist didn't listen to my request around nail shape. Also, the gloss of my polish definitely dulled after a week - no chipping, just dulled. Subpar product? It's never happened to me before. Am I on the hunt for a better experience? Yes. In a pinch, would I come back to Pinky's? Maybe.

The quality of their work is consistently great, and the pedicures are fantastic -- sometimes even too relaxing and long! I always call ahead and never have to wait. I feel seen, heard, and taken care of every single visit. Thank you, Theresa and Don, for years of wonderful service.

After a negative experience at another nearby nail spa, I gave the Desert Nail Spa a try today for…read morethe first time, and I was very delighted with my overall experience. From the ease of scheduling to the experience itself and the service, everything was top notch. I was impressed by how large the spa was and how many people could get a service at the same time. I have a feeling this is my new go-to place when I need a pedicure in the future. I only was planning on a Basic Pedicure service today, which included nail and cuticle care, massage, hot stone and towel, and polish (though I did not need the polish). There was an add-on for exfoliation scrub or callus care if I wanted either, and also an extra cost for gel polish. The Desert Pedicure includes both the exfoliation scrub and callus care in addition to the basic pedicure. The Desert Deluxe Pedicure includes the Desert Pedicure plus rejuvenating cooling masque and extended massage. The DNS Ultimate Pedicure includes the Desert Deluxe Pedicure plus refreshed & revitalized (infused with organic virgin olive oil deeply hydrate and soothe skin), detoxifying sea salt soak, callus remover gel, exfoliating sugar scrub, nourishing gel masque, hydrate cucumber treatment, and silky butter cream. For today, I stuck with the basic pedicure though I may try an add-on in the future. When I sat down in a chair to soak my feet, I was offered a still or sparkling water. There was a nice ambiance with soothing music, and I was sitting in a massage chair. There were fun nail or nail polish related quotes on the wall. My nail tech checked on how I was doing throughout. There were 14 people being worked on at a time, which was impressive, yet there were many empty chairs, so they could work on a lot more. I saw them put up special pillows for kids who were getting nail work done. I appreciated afterwards when I was paying that they had a 10% off promotion when paying with cash. The Desert Nail Spa has two nearby locations: Kierland (Greenway) and Tatum. hey are open on weekdays from 10 AM to 7 PM, Saturday from 9:30 AM to 5 PM, and Sunday from 11 AM to 5 PM. They first opened in Tempe in 1998 and have expanded to other locations across the valley. They strive to integrate innovation into the nail salon industry. You can learn more about them at https://desertnailspa.com including their story, their services, their locations, and their gallery. There is also an online booking system where you can request specific nail technicians or a specific gender of a nail tech and make an appointment in advance. The price of services is also listed. Desert Nail Spa considers itself the "Best Nail Salon" in Phoenix. Based on my experience today, I would certainly agree!

A man answered the phone and said sure no problem you can come now. We showed up and he looked at my mom in her chair and tried every excuse he could think of not to service her. -she can't get in the chair (yes she can with our help) -she has to be moving her legs for the pedicure (of course we said) -she has to sit up (yes understood) -eventually he said okay It was a quick and easy service for my mom, nothing complicated. We would not come back though, because he was just extremely rude. Happy to take her money in the end though. The little nail tech lady was spectacular for my mom though too bad she works for him.

I think this is probably the worst nail salon I've ever been to!…read more For starters, the man doing my nails cut me in several places. When I told him he was hurting me, he actually tested the grinder on himself as if he didn't believe me, then put it right back on my finger. I repeatedly told him that he was cutting my cuticles and causing pain. It wasn't until he saw the blood on my fingers that he finally apologized. The fact that he initially dismissed my concerns and acted as though I was exaggerating is absolutely unacceptable. The quality of the gel manicure was terrible. The shine wore off after about a day, and the gel was not applied smoothly, leaving my nails bumpy and uneven. They looked poorly done from the start. As for my toes, the polish lasted only about four hours before it started chipping and peeling off. I've attached photos showing the damage. To make matters worse, my mom received a manicure and pedicure during the same visit and experienced similar issues. Her nails began chipping within 24 hours, and I've attached photos of her nails as well. This salon is very expensive, yet the quality of service and workmanship was far below acceptable standards! Between being cut multiple times, having my concerns ignored, and receiving nail services that started failing almost immediately, I cannot recommend this place to anyone. Stay away!
