Hannah was super gentle with my nails, much appreciated and prices were mentioned pretty much up front.

Today was my 2nd time coming to the shop...on my first visit a couple weeks ago, I had a set of acrylic French tip nails put on and today's visit was to get a fill done on them to make them look great again. Danny is the name of the guy who did my set on the first visit and he did a really good job. He made me laugh the entire time I was there, telling me all sorts of funny stories and experiences he's had. He makes the client feel comfortable and at ease. Today, I had one of the girls doing my fills since Danny was busy with a client. This girl did a fantastic job and really took her time doing each finger, making sure she didn't miss anything along the way or leave junk on my nails. She filed them just right and made them look even better than when Danny did them on my first visit! The people in this salon are so friendly and treat everyone like family when they come through the door. Always smiling and happy! I didn't have to wait long at all on either of these visits and I had great customer service. I will gladly recommend their services to anyone I know in need of a good nail salon! read more

I walked into empty nail salon with friendly greeting instructing me to pick nail color and I would be helped right away. As I picked out my color I was pointed towards my pedicure bath that was nice blue color and waiting for me! As should as sat down, I was provided with copy of latest prices to choose my pedicure. I chose the Classic with option for callous removal b/c duh it's AZ and summer is near! Something I did not understand was the pay scale for the pedicure options. Classic and Deluxe pedicure have 25 buck difference with Deluxe higher . But they do give you option to add additional services to classic. I chose the Classic and very happy with my service. I also like their open on Sunday so you do not have to compete with crowds on Saturday. If in the area I would visit again. read more

This experience was on the "meh" side. I didn't like it or even dislike it. I would say you definitely get what you pay for. For a gel manicure it was $25. Honestly my nails look like I could have done it. Even tho the service was quick and everyone was polite, the quality was just not there. read more

Needed a gel mani bad. Walked into one nail salon and they were jam packed. Walked into this place and it was dead. I guess that should've been a sign. The place is pretty old and outdated looking. I figured it's a gel mani, how bad could it be. ‍ basically my nails look like my daughter painted them and the way they're shaped is all bad. FYI they don't do dip either. read more

The two ladies took great care of myself and my spouse getting a pedicure, we walked over here as our car was getting cleaned. They spent about an hour on our pedis. The salon is a little outdated, chairs aren't very comfortable and not a huge selection of polish colors. But these ladies worked very hard. We both went for the deluxe pedicures. My feet feel fabulous. Check them out for a great pedicure. But remember it's not super fancy. read more

I came here to get a pedicure and full set. Pedicure was good but the polish job was awful! Didn't even cover all my nail The full set is pretty straight forward. Having my cuticles cut twice ok I'll let it slide and get over it. What really inspired the 2 stars was the fact that the very next day my nails turned yellow. Come to find out they used the wrong acrylic. Not too coat which is more common and can be fixed with rubbing alcohol. I had to go somewhere else and get the acrylic taken off with the drill. Pretty stupid mistake to make from a professional nail salon. Out $30 for a job someone else had to fix. Won't be back read more

I'm not usually one to bash the new girl, but I can't believe they look like this. The manager didn't even come look at my nails. They aren't smooth they aren't even. Went here for the first time because of reviews. Won't be going again. read more

...hmmm.. what color should I get???? I have been coming since, well, way before my daughter was born! There never has been a time when they couldn't get me in for a pedicure. I highly recommend getting the callous remover! I leave with my feel feel soft and smooth! This is a very special birthday gift from my mother-in-law. Thank you so much Mom! I love my freshly done nails! You spoiled me rotten! read more

Nail Lacquer - Enjoying some girlie time with Mom and Bri!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The best nail salon I have ever been to! There was no wait and all of the staff were very friendly They were easy to understand which can honestly be difficult at times when you visit a nail salon. The nail technician did my nails just how I wanted them and didn't try to charge me, "5 dollar extra" for everything. She listened to what I wanted and did it for me. My nails were drying a little bit after 7pm (their closing time on weekdays) and they didn't rush me out. My only complaint is that the salon looked a bit outdated and could use some visual updates and a UV light to dry my nails under so they I didn't have to sit in front of a little fan the whole time. read more

Excellent! Went here for a last minute nail appointment with Mai and was very happy! Everyone there was very nice. Most the customers were regulars which says a lot about the quality. I would definitely go again. :-) read more

After a botched pedicure at another place, I swung by hoping to get my nails touched up before a wedding the next morning. Two of my friend's got their eyebrows waxed and one of the ladies graciously touched me up with no charge. It's a little ways from my place, but I will def. give them a visit if I 'm in need of some pampering and I'm in the area. read more

Update: The ownership changed and now this salon is much less appealing. The last manicure I had was not good quality. I wish I knew where Wendy and Danny went! I can't say enough how great this salon is. Wendy, Danny and the rest of the staff are excellent. Their work is detailed, quick, and beautiful. I let all my friends know what a gem this place is. Both my mom and I come here for our mani/pedis. The staff is always friendly and will get to know you if you become a repeat customer. The were so kind while I was in law school, studying for the bar, and during the job search process after. The prices are very reasonable and they have a huge selection of gel colors. This is my go to salon, I drive 30 minute from where I live in central Phoenix because I love this place so much. read more

Very nice place. We came late but they still fit my Wife and I in for a pedicure, prices where good and they were very nice. Will come back again. read more

Getting my nails done is the one luxury I'm pretty consistent with and I've gone to a LOT of the nail salons in the valley. Besides the fact that Nail Lacquer is just moments from my house, I feel like I always leave there satisfied (and I can be picky about my nails!!) All of the nail techs take their time and ensure that you leave happy. They also just got a TON of new gel colors in which is great because I like to switch it up AND they are always down to try new designs and trends. Hot stones and a 10 minute massage are standard for their classic pedicures. Solid. Weekdays are the best times to go because it can get busy on the weekends. I always try and call ahead before I go and that seems to help. Wendy, Sasha, Danny, the new owner (goodness I forget her name), and just about everyone else... - they are all great! read more

The ladies did a great job on my mani and pedi. I asked for gel and design, showed them a picture of what I wanted and they made it happened. Also, prices were reasonable. read more

Stopped in while kids were at piano because I desperately needed a manicure. I opted for gel because I just don't have time to get weekly manicures. I have to say, this is the best gel manicure I've ever had. No bumps or bubbles. Color applied evenly and smooth. Perfect manicure. Customer service I thought could be better. Not very warm or particularly friendly. And I didn't like the smell of the lotion they used. But I'll still come back because the quality is excellent for the price. read more

I've now had my nails done three times by them now. All different people. 2 females, 1 male. First time they made my nails so thick and 2 came off within a week. Then the second time she made them thin and they painted like s**t. The 3rd time my nails were popping off for no reason. First nail popped off while I was putting my hair in a ponytail, my boyfriend watched me grab my water bottle and watched another nail pop off. It's not worth taking your money here when you have to keep going back. read more

First time here today, for a half leg wax. The results were good, still some stray hairs though. My daughter got her toes done by a wonderfully patient and friendly woman named Anne. I will be coming here again for something other than a leg wax. Customer service is great. read more

Reasonable prices. I got an express pedicure with callous removal ($19 + $5 for callus removal) I have a fairly low pain tolerance, and this place is the first I've been to that I haven't had to ask the tech to be gentler. The techs were very nice and engaged my friends and I! read more

I used to come here for manicures and pedicures with my sister a lot while I was in college. The staff is very nice and have a great sense of humor too! Recently a friend and I decided to take our BFs out for a surprise pedicure. Neither of them had ever had one before so it was their first experience. The pedicure included the usually cuticle clean up and nail shaping plus a pumice scrub, the longest calve and foot massage ever, a hot stone massage and nail polish for the ladies. This is the only place I've been to out here in AZ that has an affordable pedicure with the stone massage, it was only $20. I like that they have massage chairs and a big TV. The staff even talked sports with the boys which was hilarious because usually nail salon staff barely speaks English! They need to upgrade the decor but I will definitely return! read more

I will definitely go back here! The prices are a bit higher than the other nail places around this area, but overall a good experience. My massage chair was broken:( but these things do happen. I had a great pedi and they totally up-sold me on callus removal. Not sure if I really needed it but I think I might do it again once summer is over. The staff is friendly and the place is CLEAN! Also the hours are great! They seem to be open most holidays and the place is always packed. read more

Was in major need of a manicure while on vacation. Found this salon through Yelp and decided to check it out. Got a basic manicure and eyebrow wax. They tech did a great job on my wax. She seemed to rush through the manicure and some places on my nail edges were missed. Not the end of the world but she could have put a little more effort into her job. Went back with my friend a couple days later for a pedicure. I loved it. I did not expect to get a hot stone leg massage and get massaged for as long as I did. In NY they usually charge extra for that. Very relaxing experience. Huge color selection and the staff is really friendly. My friend got her eyebrows done today as well and she really liked it. When I am in town Id give this place another try. read more

I went for a simple manicure on a Sunday and had just a short wait despite it being busy. The nail tech seemed distracted the whole time looking at who was coming in and not paying attention to her work. I went due to a coupon in the money mailer and once I showed that I could tell she was annoyed. The 2nd coat of polish went on uneven and when I asked her to correct a single nail that turned out really bad...she huffed and said "I haven't put the top coat on yet". Waste of $10. read more

Got a manicure and pedicure. They did a great job on the manicure and pedicure...not so much on the massege part...which is my fav. the guy(didnt get a name) was very friendly...and same with the rest of the staff. For the pricing its a couple dollars more then my normal place i go to but the location and the total out come was worth it. read more

I stumbled on this place a few months ago when I wanted to treat myself. LOVE IT. I get a mani/pedi for $30! Pedicure includes hot stone massage, warm lotion and a great leg massage. I've gone here a few times, never with an appointment and they always take me and get me to a massage chair to start my pedicure. The only thing that surprised me was when my boyfriend asked for the paraffin on his hands, the girl brought out 2 plastic bags with warm wax in them and told him to slip his hands in while she tied them around his wrists. Seemed a little tacky but the result was smoother skin. I'm going back there this Friday again to prepare for sandal season. read more

This place does a great job! The prices are pretty low compared to other places in Tempe and Scottsdale that I used to go to. The staff is pretty quiet at first but if you go in regularly, then they get to know you and remember your name. Danny did my nails the last time and did a great job (though passed me off to a younger girl to do an intricate anchor design i wanted done. She did a great job). The only thing that I hate about this place is that I feel like I'm in a pepto bismal bottle. It's seriously 4 shades of the most hideous pink EVER and needs to be updated! Love this place though and will be going back! read more

I strayed from my normal place as they could get me in as a walk in for 2 hrs. This was a pleasant surprise. No wait on a Saturday afternoon. Wonderful massage chairs, great prices and the guy that did my pedicure was super nice and friendly. I will definitely be coming back again. read more

Came here for a brow wax and the woman messed them up terribly. Didn't ask how I wanted them and turns out she isn't licensed!! I'll be contacting state board asap. read more

I have been coming to this place off and on for 10 years. Over the last 5, service has gotten so bad that today was my last time I will ever go there. All polish is old, the stone massage was two dry warm rocks and the pedicure was the worst I have ever gotten! Having four females in the family I spent thousands of dollars at this establishment and tried to ignore the poor service. No longer. While I'm getting my pedicure today the owner sat reading her phone and ignoring my comments to the gentleman doing my pedicure about my dissatisfaction!! I left a tip but I should not have. Do NOT go here!!!! Polish me Pretty is across the street and although they are busy- they are worth the wait!!! read more

This is my normal nail salon and i love this spot. Normally they do an amazing job, but the past 2 times i been there they haven't been on top of their game. It's like they were rushing or they didn't know exactly what i wanted even though i showed them a clear picture. read more

I don't usually stray away from my normal salon but I just couldn't make it to my place so I decided to give Nail Lacquer the benefit of the doubt. Well, that backfired on me. Went in for a gel manicure. Nothing too crazy. Polish job was insanely horrible. There were polish on my fingers while the polish didn't even cover the entire nail. Cuticles barely cut. It seemed like the tech was in a rush and didn't even care that I was saying that I didn't like it. So the owner stated I would have to pay because of labor which is BS since it was a poor job. Let me put it this way, if you were to go to a clothing store and bought a shirt with a hole in it and wanted your money back, you would get it back. What's the difference here? You're paying for a service and if it isn't to your satisfaction, you shouldn't have to pay for it. You get what you pay for. So, I got a crappy manicure, I'm going to pay nothing for it. I decided to have them take it off and pay the $10 that it would be to take it off, that they have stated on their pricing sheet. At the end of it, they said it would be $20, then said $17 and then said $15 all for different reasons. So they have no idea what they are talking about and shouldn't even be in the nail business. State board will most definitely hear from me. Very rude staff. Do not go unless you want to waste your time for a terrible service. Definitely won't be back. read more

Do not come here if you need anything waxed. I went to get my eyebrows waxed and was specific about only wanting my brows cleaned up. I didn't want them shaped or trimmed- just a clean up. Very little taken off. I was clear when I told the lady doing the wax this and she nodded and said ok and made it clear to me that she understood. After she was done I looked in the mirror and was horrified. She waxed off more than half of the thickness of my eyebrows. I was pretty shocked and traumatized (eyebrows are a huge deal to me!!) and didn't really know what to say. I ended up saying "Wow, you took off way too much" and she flat out laughed. It is obvious the staff does not care about you or what you want. They do what's easiest for them. They just care about getting payed. They don't care about the customer. I will never be back here. I highly recommend finding a different salon to anyone thinking of coming here. read more

This place is the absolute worst. Stopped in because it's literally right across street from home... and needed last minute gel manicure. There were three nail techs and two clients in pedi chairs and I was asked to come back in an hour. I returned in an hour and was asked to pick color and someone started on my nails right away, (I came in with no polish or gel on). I began to get annoyed at the one hour mark when she was still not finished with filing my nails.....30 minutes later still filing can't make this shit up. She did get up not once but twice for the bathroom and a snack without even saying anything to me about why she was getting up. I kept thinking about getting up and leaving but was trying to tell myself stay calm just never come back here.... at which point she asked me to stand and moved me to the one other person working who then asked me to pick a color. This was my breaking point I have already picked a color the girl who gave me a hour and a half manicure had it. I told new tech this and asked why is this taking so long the longest I have ever spent getting a gel manicure is a hour max, and usually with waiting to even start. He response was "sorry we slow here" yeah no shit, but don't worry because then she proceeded to refile and buff every nail the last lady spent 90 minutes doing. When I was finally finished I had been there for over two hours walked in at 11:30 left at 2:15 alll for a gel manicure when I have short nails which now hurt from the hour and a half of filing them. Also the place was disgusting I had a lot of time to look around and I don't think state bird had been by in awhile ........ read more

Love this place! Got my first gel manicure more than a month ago and it is still on with no bubbles or cracks! I will definitely be coming back again especially with the holidays around the corner. The staff is a little quiet but they warm up to you if you keep talking to them. I like to talk when I get my nails done though. The prices are very reasonable, pretty much the same as Chandler salon prices which is awesome. read more

I am so disappointed this place did horrible job I've been coming here for 3 years off and on they do a good job every now and again not all the time and especially with appointments they have you waiting an half to an hour over your appointment but I still keep going back I asked if he can redo my nails and he said I had to pay so I asked for my money back on top of that guy didn't even want to tell me the manager or owners name for my set $35 he didn't even do a good job and to anyone who is looking for recommendation they suck go to the other nail salons around I will never come back here again read more

Staff was very friendly and attentive. They let us stay late for our nails to dry and did a very good job.

BEWARE...I have used this salon for over a year now, have always liked it and agree with what the other posters have said. Unfortunately there is a man that works there who was HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE!!! During my pedi he spoke the entire time about himself in a very inappropriate manner- told me of his sexual exploits, used the F word to describe this is detail. He touched my leg in a way that he should not have, regardless of the fact that I was getting a pedi- there are boundaries.He would not stop talking or allow himself to be ignored. If I went about reading my mag, he would stop the pedi and stare at me until he had my attention again! He even made implications of "behaving badly"...but being afraid of getting caught- not sure if he was hitting on me or what. I felt pretty gross after this and will NEVER go back. Please do not use this salon, tell your daughters and friends not to go here. To bad for the other enployees, they are all really nice... read more
