I just did my nails for the first time at this place. Sadly I will never do Dip powder there again! They look awful! $40.00 just wasted! I thought the girl knew what she wss doing :-( I went for convenience! Never again! read more

I was in town for the holidays and needed to get my nails done (full set). I needed a new shop and found this one through Yelp and the rave reviews. The staff are friendly, the shop is very clean and inviting and the results are phenomenal! Kim who is the owner, did my nails exactly how I wanted. She is a delight, was very careful with my nails and made sure she wasn't hurting me throughout my time with her. The best part was that we had a great conversation about how she started her business; conversation is far and few between these days in this environment, so it was a nice bonus. Their prices are more than fair for the area of town they are in. I will definitely be returning any time I am in town! read more

I went to Lovely Nails while visiting Tucson after reading all of the positive reviews on Yelp. Even if I lived in the Tucson area, I would not come back to this place. I get a mani/pedi about every 4 weeks. I have lived many places and tried many different nail salons in my life. This was not a good experience. I called for an appointment and they were able to get me in right away. Parking was easy and abundant. The pedicure chairs are too close together and hard to maneuver into/out of between the clients and the staff. Not to mention the fact that they practically pushed me into the chair while I still had my shoes/socks on and there was very little room to remove my shoes since the bowl was already full of water. If I was any less flexible, it would have been a disaster. Thank you, yoga. I wasn't offered a menu of services. I happened to spy a pedicure menu somewhat hidden and asked for a particular pedicure. There was a significant communication barrier between myself and the very nice man who was working on my toes. That wasn't necessarily a problem, but it was strange that I was asking them if I could give them more money. I had gel on my toes, and the man doing my pedicure didn't let them soak enough and was scraping to a level of discomfort. Then, the additional grinding with the Dremel after the scraping made me wonder if I was going to have any nail left at all. I had to ask them if I could pick a color. Let me repeat that. I had to ask THEM if I could pick a color. There was confusion. Two people came over to help. Maybe it's because I wanted a gel pedicure? The gel selection I was given (2 books) was minimal compared to what I'm used to, but I was able to find a color. I don't know, but I have never been to a nail salon where I had to ask so many questions. They don't replace the plastic liner between clients, they reuse them. As a germaphobe nurse, this really made me gag and want to leave immediately. I didn't see their cleaning process until it was too late. Something else that grossed me out is when he needed to move the chair closer. He stopped working on my feet, used his gloved finger to push the button on the remote to move the chair forward, then went back to working on my feet. After buffing the rough skin off my feet, the man shook the towel on the floor and put it back. Is that gross to anyone else? While applying the gel color, the man seemed uncomfortable. He was a bit shakey. Everything took twice as long as it normally does. It made me uncomfortable - not knowing how it was going to turn out. He put the light on top of the freshly-painted nails twice, then had to try to fix it. The end-result was aesthetically satisfactory, but the sanitation problems were enough to make me question the whole experience. It also took over an hour and half. For those who are thinking I'm a prissy, high-maintenance person with standards that are too high, I'm not. If you're thinking, "that's exactly what a prissy, high-maintenance person would say"; you're wrong. I do have high expectations for cleanliness. Would you expect anything less from a nurse? read more

I've come here a couple times for both gel manicures and now dipped manicures over the past 6 months and have always had someone different (not Kim). They're quick to get you in, even without an appointment, but definitely aren't speedy (90 or so minutes for a gel manicure, longer for dipped). My last dipped manicure chipped after 12 days, which made me sad since usually I can go closer to 3 weeks. I made my last appointment with Kim - which is a total game changer. I did come in with bare nails, but she had me out the door in 40 minutes with a beautiful dipped manicure. Just got back from hiking Havasupai Falls and I was absolutely terrible to my hands. Backpacking, hiking, climbing in the mountains/cliffs, swimming, dirt and rocks everywhere and my nails still LOOK AMAZING. I never want to leave Kim. She is worth scheduling with! read more

Kim is the best I've ever had do my nails never disappointed and the rest of the staff is great read more

So today I decided to give Lovely nails a try. I had been going to another nail salon on Swan and Sunrise but had had enough of how rude the staff were there. Anyways, I found Kim(owner) to be delightful. Her brother Bi(pronounced Bee) is the one who did my mani & pedi. He did a fantastic job! I wasn't pressured into any unnecessary service. I certainly will be returning. Keep note that due to credit card fee charges, Kim appreciates payment in cash or check. Thanks Kim for caring for your customers!Keep up the great work! read more

Kim is great at what she does - Unfortunately, the other employees fall short sometimes. I had requested candy cane striped nails for Christmas and showed a photo to the man who was doing my nails. He agreed willingly and asked me to show him the photo a few times through out painting him. They turned out comically bad and I was horrified! I went straight home and removed them. I would not go back after that disaster. read more

See all

I have been going to see Kim for over 5 years and I can't sale enough wonderful things about her! I travel extensively for work and she has even opened up early for me to get my nails done or repaired so I could catch my flight that same day. As long as I live in Tucson I will always go to Kim for my nails! read more

Owner is so sweet and they did a great job on the dip powder manicure and on the pedicure!

I was passing through and had 4 hours to kill. I needed my nails done but am very picky. But I was to the point of taking them off or get them done. Lovely Nails fit me in and did a great job. read more

Just average. Pedicure chipped after two days.The shop was not very clean. And over booked so took way too long

My previous nail place was a horrible excuse of a nail salon so I went looking for a new one to get my nails done before my trip in the Bahamas. My boss recommended Lovely Nails and so I decided to check it out. The location is close to my home which is an added bonus for me. They are very friendly and extremely accommodating. It had an atmosphere that was instantly comforting, it was like being at home or spending time with the girls. They are very communicative there and Kim really knows her stuff. I will definitely be taking my nail business here every time. read more

As most women I get my nails done regularly and Lovely Nails is by far my favorite place to get my nails done. The attention to detail and the quality of their work surpasses any other place I've ever been to. Even when you call last minute they ALWAYS manage to get you in, given you might have to wait a short time once you arrive. They have even come in before their normal hours to get me in. The service is incredible and their work speaks for itself. read more

The absolute best nail salon I've ever been to! Kim always puts the clients first. The shape and quality of my nails are perfect and I am super picky. Her brother Tom also does amazing work. My nails are super sensitive and they make sure to be extra gentle on my nails. I can show Kim a pic of what design I want and she normally can replicate it or make it better. Caring owners, when I left the salon one night it was late and I broke a nail and I called too see if I could come back in like 30 minutes. Kim waited for me and I was stuck in traffic so I told her to just go. She felt bad and told me I could call her and she'd come in once I got there since she was going to dinner near by. I couldn't bring myself to take her up on the offer even tho I had a date I went with a broke nail (which was totally my fault since I slammed it in the car door lol) read more

Kim is the best! She's so talented, takes her time, and the shape is always perfect. After trying several nail salons, this is the only place I will go in Tucson! read more

Kim I amazing! I have been coming to her for 9 years and have never had a bad experience!

I went in one afternoon for a dip color change the color that they put on me I was not expecting it to be that dark & with no hesitation Kim said that she could change it.. I had said no & she proceeded to say that I could give it few days and that if I didn't like it i could come in anytime for a nail change. Bon is a wonderful person to talk too & always gives the best pedicures! I LOVE this place. read more

I had a greatly needed manicure done here and I was impressed with the quality of the employees. Nowadays no one can do a good old-fashion nail polish manicure and rely on the easy fixable gel, well Lovely Nails gave me a beautiful polish manicure that lasted and did not chip or smudge. I'm taking a break from the shellac to help strengthen my nails. I was so happy with the work that I can't wait to go back again! read more

Lovely Nails is fantastic! I've been going here for years. I always bring visiting friends and family to get their nails done as a special treat. Kim is amazing!!! Her entire staff are very friendly and do a great job. The salon is spotless, and very relaxing. You'll be very happy with your nails - they're the best in town!! read more

Very impressed. I came in for my first time today and did ombré pink and white nails with Kim. She is very talented. She pays great attention to detail which is hard to find at nail salons these days. I love the way they turned out. I will definitely be back again soon! read more

I splurged for the Milk and Honey pedicure since it had been a few weeks since my last pedi AND the price was reasonable. I like that there was no rush with my massage, callus removal, or polish. Janet took her time like I was the only customer in the world. I also like the fact that they're not afraid to have customers wait in the lobby area instead of rushing through the job. Will be a regular while I'm in Tucson! read more

Kim was awesome. A couple of my gel nails dried a little funny but she didn't ignore that at all. She didn't let me leave the store until my nails were perfect. It was my first time in and I was really impressed with the multitasking and customer service. read more

Kim always does a great job! I have had several gel manicures with her, and now an acrylic fill with gel polish. She's always super fast while doing a very high quality job at the same time. You cannot beat the price with the great work you get out of Lovely Nails! read more

Got a basic pedi, the massage that Tony gives is wonderful! I think he massaged each leg/foot a good 10 minutes maybe even longer! Then it's followed by hot stone massage!!

Lovely nails is the place to go if you want to have an amazing experience getting your nails done. I went I There the have my nails fixed from a previous experience at another nail place. They did a great job and were very kind. read more

Called ahead and made an appointment since my usual salon was too busy, arrived early so I had no problem waiting a bit. Was sat pretty quickly, and began my dip powder nails. The gal did them just a tad too thick for my liking. She admitted she messed up on a couple nails and reassured she'd fix them, which she did slightly and I appreciate, but I do think they could be just a smidge better. Found myself picking off some cured dip powder since my nails are fairly short, so some clean up would have been nice also. Overall, really nice and would probably return again when my usual nail girl is too busy. read more

Kim and her team are always so accommodating! Very friendly staff and clean establishment.

Please help support this business! They are doing everything to keep us safe! They are limiting the number of clients allowed at a time- And they do a wonderful job. Just had a pedicure and manicure fabulous! Usually try to get a pedicure every 6 weeks but will be going every three as I have horrible runner feet - that may not be so horrible if I pamper them more often! Thanks Bon! And Kim read more

Stopped into this place on a rainy day so they were able to get my mani+pedi started right away. Wasn't sure what I wanted, but am very happy with the result for the upcoming holidays. Picked the colors and then I wasn't sure about the gold glittery top coat for my nails so found a pic off Pinterest and the guy helping me used a regular skinny design brush in gold to recreate it. For this amount of work it was a $55+tip well spent! read more

I really wanted to love this place. I went a few months ago and have been going back and forth about writing a review. Kim did my nails and she was very nice and definitely talented. My nails came out exactly how I wanted and they looked great! The shop itself though was not clean and the methods used were gross. There was nail dust everywhere when I sat down at the table and I think they were busy because she was working on mine and another girls nails at the same time...she didn't wash her hands in between and used the same file! It made me question whether or not the tools used on me were sanitized beforehand. I hadn't been to a nail salon in a long time so I couldn't remember if that was normal but it just made me feel so gross! When I got home I did a little research and sure enough, that is not at all how a nail salon is supposed to run. I was paranoid for a few months about getting nail fungus or an infection but so far so good. I will never come here again and customers should really reconsider this place unless they change their methods. read more

Found this 'lovely' establishment while on vacation. They took me in as a walk-in. Husband and wife did a fabulous job on my feet and hands! Not to mention, they had the most welcoming personalities with great senses of humor. I will return when in the area. Thank you!!! read more
