    Modern Nails Has always given good pedicures for me over the years!! The only thing I can complain about is one time a lady messed up my eyebrows when she waxed them and They didn't make me pay for it So probably wouldn't recommend the waxing. But always great pedicures and manicures. I tell all my friends and family to go there.

    I have been going here for 4 years! They are amazing. I receive great service everytime. I get a pedicure, full set of nails and eyebrow wax. I have not been disappointed once.

    First time going there and was pleasantly surprised. The place is small and a little crowded, but had a big variety of colors and types. A man technician did my nails. He was very thorough and very nice and listen to what I wanted. He kept giving praise which was nice to hear. I will definitely be going back.

    I had a terrible experience! They were very rude! But I never imagine that my health was compromise ! After paying $65 for a very poor and fast pedicure one week later the nail chipped! 3 weeks later I star having pain , one month later I had to make an appointment with a doctor ! My nail is changing color ! I'm going to see what the doctor is going to say ! Be carful!

    I came to get my nails done for my Dad's funeral and May did an excellent job. May did my nails and I absolutely adore them. My Dad would love them. Thank you so much May.

    ​ I went here for a mani-pedi. After I'd signed in I was browsing through the gel colors when a woman came and got me and sat me down to start my nails I told her I wanted a mani-pedi and she nodded she proceeded to take off the previous gel on my nails and once I was out in foiled up she told me to pick out the color I was not even able to really open up the books with my tin foil nails. I picked out a color and one of the other people at work there came up behind her and said something and she looked at me and said mani pedi questioning me and I said yes and she kind of huffed a bit. She proceeded to do my nails and since it was a silver glittery it was very see-through and when she was done asked if it was okay and I asked for one more coat and she did not like that answer she also did not shape my nails nor did she ask if I wanted them rounded or squared as other places usually do. The petty was great a different person did the petty and that nail color is wonderful when it came to check out time it was $110 I gave him $150 he proceeded to give me $10 back. I was puzzled and I asked for the full amount back as I would tip from the full amount that I received back he did that and I left the $10 tip. I don't like people assuming that I'm going to tip what they want me to tip and take out the money from the change back for their tip. I worked in customer service for years and that's not how it goes. So I will not be back .

    nothing is the same as the picture. i asked and was silenced. wouldn't recommend. the lady charged me 100

    zero fucking stars. The lady that was doing my nails argued with me about what colors I wanted. My nail tips were curve after I mentioned that i didn't want them like that. Worst service ever wouldn't recommend.

    Update on my review. Went to this place 3 days ago and my nails are already falling off. Spent over $200 for 2 mani + pedi and my nails are already falling off and they have the rudest customer service! I wouldn't go back to get it fixed even for free!

    My destroyed lashes 5 days after getting them put on

    Look, this place does nails well, but after this experience I will not be going back. I originally went in for a lash lift which I learned they didn't do. I said I wanted to check out the options for lashes (for which they have 2, classic or full). Please note that a real lash tech should ask you multiple questions (whether or not you want a 1:1, 1:2, 1:whatever ratio, the curl you want, the length you want) specifically the ratio of real lash to fake lash. I was asked no questions. This place put large 6 piece fans across my whole eye. Usually with 4-6 of my real lashes attached. Meaning when one of my lashes in the fan fell out, as the do naturally, it would put major stress on the rest. When I was done getting these on I told her I didn't like them and they were too big, to which she said I just wasn't used to having them, and that all her clients loved them, and I would too. I went into a different tech who said it looked as if they had used some sort of hair extension glue on my lashes rather than lash glue. It then took the other tech 1 full hour to get what you see in the picture off. I went into the the woman who did my lashes and asked for a refund with my lashes looking like they did in the photo below. She gave me the option of redoing my lashes (absolutely not). And she then gave me a $30 gift certificate that I'll never be using, and told me that she wouldn't be giving me a refund as this took an hour and a half of her day to do. In actuality, this took 40 minutes. I paid $80 for the lashes, and even tipped her $15 because I'm a pushover apparently and I believe in tipping. I didn't realize initially how bad this would be. Please please do not go here for lash work. It was a terrible experience, and if I could give negative stars I would. Please see the lash techs at you beauty lounge as they removed and revived my natural lashes to the best of their ability. Keep in mind I do have several bald spots now that I've seen no regrowth from.

    I went here yesterday to get my nails done and they have speed, class, good material, and style! I've been to many other nail salons in Anchorage and very very few even had 2 of these things. They are so sweet and accepted me my mother and a friend close to closing time. It only took 2 of them about an hour and a half on all 3 of our nails and they look great So if you want to make a friend and spoil yourself a little go here. They don't charge much too! For all 3 of our nails ended with a total of $145.00 ( and if you've got your nails done in Alaska they are usually $50-$60+ for not so good nails. I've added a few pictures of how my nails turned out. I got a yellow-cream color (they change color based on hot & cold). My friend got an electric green and it gives the perfect pop We will definitely be back ‼‼‼

From the moment I sat down, I knew this wasn't going to be your typical nail appointment. Leila is so friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly loves what she does. What really stood out to me was how much she cares about the health of your natural nails. Mine were damaged from thick dip powder done elsewhere, and she immediately noticed and took the time to gently work with them while explaining how we could get them back in shape. Not only did I leave with beautiful, clean, natural-looking nails, but I also felt like I had just caught up with a friend. If you're looking for someone talented, kind, and genuinely invested in their clients -- Leila is your girl. Highly recommend!

This girl is talented!! I've always struggled with having builder gel/hard gel last, it always used to lift at the cuticle. Leila is so meticulous that I don't have they problem anymore. She is thorough in there ability to perfectly clean up the cuticle and prep the nail for polish. My manicured last for 5 to 6 weeks now, something I never would thought possible. Leila is incredibly talented, she can do pretty much any design that one would desire and she's always coming up with new techniques to make your nails stand out. Leila is located inside of Lola's Salon, there is usually parking but sometimes another business in the strip mall seems to have an event going which clogs parking up. Leila maintains a clean and comfortable space with a soothing ambiance. She is polite and always on time. She always is just a genuinely nice person, you can tell that she loves her craft and she cares about her clients being happy. Leila also offers a loyalty punch card which is so cool. She is working towards becoming an educator for one of the polish brands, which I don't know anyone else that is going that route so I am impressed. I highly recommend Leila!

    $90.00 / 2 hrs / Painful Experience / Poor Quality…read more Just moved into Anchorage from out of state. I requested a removal and a full set of French tips. I can't speak for the quality of every nail technician but this nail set in the picture was horrible compared to the 4 week old gel-x set that I had before this. When "Christine" was applying the extensions, I know I should have just completely stopped her there immediately. She was placing them crooked and unaligned from the beginning. The craziest part was when she was struggling to form a French tip with the dip powder and said, "It's hard because it's dirty." She went on to explain that the reason she was struggling was because the person who used the powder before her DIDN'T CLEAN IT PROPERLY. Now I'm just thinking about an infection because she cut me twice. I felt the first cut on the table and found the second one later in the night. My bleeding stopped very quick but it's was still very painful and uncomfortable on my cuticle. She ended up apologizing a lot for the 2 full hours she had me there, gave up on the dip powder and ended up just painting the French tip on in the end. This technician also tried to form an apex with the gel top coat which resulted in a very blobby form. It was $90 dollars. She knew she did a terrible job and she knew she kept me too long. Two other girls around said to just call if you need help. Again, I can't speak for all their employees I've heard that the "owner" and "May" give very great service, but I don't know if I'm truly ever coming back here.

As someone who's newer to Anchorage, I initially tried a salon closer to home--but after long wait times and even a nail fungus, I knew I had to find somewhere better. A family friend recommended this place, and I've been a loyal customer ever since. Lucy usually does my nails and she's amazing--super sweet and always excited to try bold, fun colors with me. Everyone I've interacted with, whether for nails or pedicures, has treated me with kindness and respect. The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is professional, and I always leave feeling pampered and happy. I'll definitely keep coming back!!

    Diamond Nails & Spa…read more Absolutely loved coming here. I was treated so well. My nail tech Jay did such a great job on my nails. I definitely found my new nail place. Wayyy better than Cali nails by a long shot. I really felt important here. I was greeted at the door with smiles and they helped me check in. Jay was really great helping me figure out what I wanted. And jay did a great job doing my nails as well as the nail art. All I asked for was a flower and Jay just painted the flowers on my nails and I was just in love with them. Thank you so much for the great service and making me feel so welcomed.

    Disappointing Experience - Poor Quality and Dishonest Service…read more I paid $150 for a full set of professional acrylic nails, and within just a few days they started lifting and falling off. I finally had my first day off and came in to have them fixed, only to be told they wouldn't do them. The man at the front desk suddenly acted like he barely spoke English--even though on my last visit, he spoke fluently and even translated for other staff. When I explained the situation to the nail tech, she spoke to him, and he claimed that they only offer fixes within 7 days. No one pays that much for nails that last a week--you'd be better off using drugstore press-ons, like I usually do. It seems like they rely on young, inexperienced workers to apply "professional" acrylics, and the quality just doesn't match the price. Very disappointed.

Went in for gel manicure with some nail art. Chill vibe, not busy, and I was seated quickly. They seemed to understand what I wanted right away. BUT Right off the bat the lady doing my nails hurt me with the dremmel tool. I don't know what possessed me to let her try again only for her to hurt me two more times. One time the dremmel went UNDER my nail, the other two times the dremmel was being pressed into my finger, making it hurt and burn. This PMO so much I was nearly driven to tears. By the third time I told her to just clean it up and end it, I was done. She said she didn't understand and had to get the owner to come by and tell her to clean me up. Then the nail "tech" tried to say I was finished even though all the color was not off. I had to point out the BIG spots on three different nails where there was still bright orange color streaks! Next my nails are screwed up, they are not shaped correctly, they were supposed to be round but they are uneven, crooked, different shapes, some tips are cut, all screwed up. She screwed up my cuticles too, they are all flaky and clearly cut way too deep. I screwed up going here, don't make the same mistake I did! I doubt the nail tech I had is certified! At the end she said it was my fault, that my nails were too sensitive to the dremmel. I told her the dremmel wasn't responsible for going UNDER my nails or into my skin. I was not about to go through this awful terrible experience and be blamed for it! The owner seemed nice and she had a client that was happy, I wish I could have gotten the owner. But this other nail tech needs to be let go or go back to school or something. I can still feel where she cut me too deep with the cuticle trimmer, it feels like broken glass in my skin and on my fingertips. My nails look so chopped and unhealthy now. I feel so awful and angry. Terrible nail tech!
