So I walked into this salon after not having had my nails done for some time, for a wedding. (I use to get dip done every three weeks, and before that I had acrylic and gel polish typically... so not new to getting my nails done.) I was put with a new graduate, a local PV graduate. To say my experience was bad, doesn't really cover it. After getting my nails redone a couple weeks later somewhere else, that is when I decided to leave this review, realizing just how awful it was. One star is for the interior. It's a very clean and updated decor. The other is for the owner, that sort of tried to make it right... I got tips and dip. I started out thinking I wanted a French manicure. But the ridge of the tips showed in the pink. So I did chrome hoping it would help. But when I went to check out, looking at the awful shaping and appearance in general, I told them I really wasn't happy. Many of my nails were wider at the top than at the base... they were not smooth on the sides, and they just just looked pretty awful. So they put me with one of their other people to reshape. Which meant removing the polish and chrome... they were shaped wide at the tips, and the corners (I was asking for squares shaping) were longer than the centers. When I pointed it out, they literally looked at them and didn't understand. The lady next to me was saying. Yep-I see it. And my thumbs were noticeably crooked at the ends. Full on slant. Oh and the base of the nails were thinner and they got thicker at the tips-not natural at all. Since I had already been there over two hours for a pedicure and trying to get my manicure presentable, I asked they just polish my hands the same as my toes, so I could go. Honestly I still was not thrilled.they were slightly better, but not the look I had planned on at all... But I get to the register, and they charged me for the chrome that had to be taken off, and I don't even know what else. It was $137 before the tip for a pedicure with polish (not gel), and dip with tips, VERY poorly done. By comparison, i went to another salon two weeks later before a vacation, with AMAZING service, beautifully shaped nails, and gel on both hands and toes, and additional design work (ombré glitter AND rhinestones), and it was $20 cheaper before tip!! The interior just as tasteful, service 1000% better overall. I will never set foot in Nails De Vie again... while the owner sort of seemed to want to make things right, he also seemed slightly annoyed, and unaffected by letting such a poor looking service walk out the does read more

Love this salon for more reasons than how my nails turn out. My mom has Alzheimer's and this is one of the few places she remembers. They take such great care of her, kind, compassionate and going above and beyond to make sure she is well taken care of. Thank you and well worth the wait to come back after your beautiful remodel. read more

I was in town from Milwaukee and desperately needed a pedicure. My feet were way overdue. I found this salon via Yelp. When I walked in, the salon looked clean, nicely decorated and was fairly busy. To me, that's a good sign! Kevin was my designated nail technician. He offered me something to drink which I thought was a nice touch. He was very gentle with my feet. I appreciated that! Part of the pedicure is a leg massage. It was nice but almost too long. I was definitely on the verge of falling asleep. LOL I was glad to see they used sterilized tools - especially in this day and age. He trimmed my toenails - but didn't file them on the corners. That's the only thing that was a little disappointing. Maybe there wasn't enough nail to shape? I was satisfied with the result. I would go back next time I'm in town! read more

Such a nice salon! They were able to get me in for a same day mani/pedi appointment. I came in with damaged nails from a different salon, and they were able to help me out. Kevin was very knowledgeable and provided great service! Definitely recommend coming here!!! read more

This salon is so nice! If you want a CLEAN salon with great technicians, this is the place.

Amazing first visit to Nails De Vie in Bettendorf, IA. Tasteful decor and super clean. Got a beautiful pedicure and the included leg/foot massage was divine. Highly recommend. read more

Beautiful salon, graciously took me as a walk-in for a full set, going to make appointments from now on just as a thank you and to respect their time! Nail tech was one of the owners, Jessica, and she did such a wonderful job. I love this place! Great pricing for the level of service. Definitely my go to from now on. read more

Nails De Vie - Nail Salons Near Me - Bettendorf, Iowa

Great service. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Clean environment. Works with you to schedule appointments.

Nails De Vie is one of the nicest nail salons in the Quad Cities. #1 thing? CLEAN!! I loved that I could see my tech was literally disinfecting the equipment by spritzing it with rubbing alcohol immediately before each use, and that they use clean liners in their foot basins. Her nail station was neatly organized. The techs and staff are professional and nice, the salon itself has a great vibe, relaxing with a little luxe, and a good selection of services and nail colors. read more

These nails were relatively good and lasted me a long time the picture I included is today which is around four weeks after a full set and it may be busted (forgive me) but they're all still intact. *I wish I had gotten a structured gel manicure with a nail extension instead of acrylic, it's not my favorite. I'm not quite sure if that is a service at this salon but I am also looking around the Quad cities for any place that has structured gel manicures* read more

Nails De Vie - Acrylic nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Bettendorf, Iowa

Came here from Kentucky, and had the best experience ever. The only issue I had was with the clients rather than the staff. But Bettendorf women tend to be a little snooty and stick there nose up in the air if you breathe towards them anyways. Nails were amazing, staff was absolutely perfect and they took very foos care of me. read more

Have tried twice with a dip worst the second visit my cuticles were sore for 3 days the drill kept hitting them will not be back

Really pretty inside! Friendly staff. No wait time, right on schedule of my appt for pedi. Loved the massage part of this pedicure. I actually felt like my tech spent more time on this than most other places which I loved! The only thing that would have been nice to have is a drying area to let my toes dry before heading out. I would definitely come back next time Im in town. read more

I walked in with no appointment, and they were quick to help. The nail tech was very detailed and did a beautiful job on my nails! I will definitely come back. read more

Nails De Vie - Dip Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Bettendorf, Iowa

Linda is the absolute best at Dip manicures. And when you make an appointment, they actually keep it!

Older lady doesn't do a good Job very sloppy & over priced can't do any unique styles will not return.

Amazing!! Took care of me immediately and really took the time to shape my dip nails the way I wanted. Best shape and style ever and really enjoyed talking and getting to know the staff. They want you to come back and it shows! read more

My sister inlaw and I went to Nails De Vie today for our pedicures, the girl who took care of my sister inlaw was great, the girl who "took care" of me, not so great. I can not even say she did a decent job, or even cared if she did or not. She refused to massage my calves (one of the steps to a pedicure) she bared rubbed my feet. She spoke very rudely and and dismissive to me, then refused to do the easy design I wanted (Polish with a silver line going across the top). I ended up walking out very disappointed and $46 less in my wallet. I will not be going back. I spoke to the manager as I was paying, all he said was: I'm sorry to hear that, then he took my money. No offer to make it right, just sorry. My sister inlaw even told him the girl was rude and dismissive of me. read more

Insanely gorgeous inside and very sanitary. Everyone working was so nice and I love how my nails look!

Excellent salon. Gorgeous decor and they were tops in sanitary practices LONG before COVID. Linda is amazing. She has incredibly high standards and bends over backward to make sure your nails are impeccably done. I've been to salons all over the QC and I have found a home here. read more

This is my favorite nail salon in the area. It's pricier than others I've visited, but it's become the only salon I prefer to go to. I've found my favorite person to do my manicures, and when I leave, I am so happy with the job she does. Admittedly, I've been ok with the other people working there too, but she's the best, and I always request her when I make an appointment. On that topic, you really do need an appointment. Maybe you'd get lucky and get a walk-in, but honestly I've never been there when that was likely... They tend to be full when I'm there. You get a drink while you're there...ranging from soft drinks to wine... Saturdays they have mimosas as well. For spa pedicures, they have three different types to choose from, which really just varies in what kind of extra treatments you get on top of the regular stuff. The place is clean and attractive, and the people are really friendly. I get so many compliments on my nails, which is not something I'm always able to say when I visit other salons. It's worth every penny. read more

Worst experience I have ever had in a nail salon. The owner is a great guy and helped me once when I had a broken nail. I went to the shop for a full set, and the technician not only ruined my nails, but she BLED on me. She had an open cut that was not covered. Then she short changed me $11.00. I highly suggest that anyone who even considers going to this shop reconsider, or make sure that you only go to the owner or his wife. I am posting pictures of the quality my nails were in when I walked out of this shop, to let readers make up their own minds. read more

See all

This was, hands down, the best experience I have had with a nail salon. Typically when I get a full set, the tips of my fingers are sore and I have to adjust to the feeling. After my experience here, I almost forget I got them done because they are perfect! I have gotten so many compliments on how natural they look as well. I would definitely recommend this salon if you want to get your nails done! read more

Nails De Vie - Nail Salons Near Me - Bettendorf, Iowa

This is the only nail place I go to in the area. Great service and get done in good time! My nails always look so clean and fresh. Absolutely love this place! read more

AWESOME service! I visited nails de vie and loved my experience. The salon itself is clean and inviting. Tam did my nails and was super friendly. I received complimentary drinks with my services. I've visited other local salons recently and have been less than pleased. I'd say nails de vie is a little pricier, but you absolutely get what you pay for and it's worth it. Their materials and work space is very clean, their polish is fresh and new. I'd suggest making an apt, as they're typically very busy. read more

Love this place! They are super friendly there and will go the extra mile for their customers. I do recommend to make a apt because they are super busy some days. I have gone to One Stop since I was a teen and was super excited when they opened a place on this side. read more

The interior looks really good and they are very clean however the service did not meet expectations. The massage service was really fast and it felt more like a drive thru expedited pedicure rather than a 'sit down and enjoy yourself' pedicure. They did now offer a menu or drinks so you don't get the full experience. read more

Gorgeous modern salon in the area. A unicorn for sure. Can only get in by appointment which can be frustrating but understand as it's so nice. The employees are friendly, speak English & like to chat. Absolutely love it! read more

Amazing nail salon in the Quad Cities! They are very up to date on the latest nail trends. Tons of color options & dip nail too! I had recently moved to the area and went to another nails salon that put on a set of nails that looked HORRIBLE, I was literally embarrassed to let people see my hands. Steven took me in as soon as he could & removed the set as gently as he could and put on a beautiful new set of hombre nails. I will not go anywhere else read more

This place is very clean and sanitary. The staff are beyond accommodating and my daughter and I feel appreciated when we go in. We've come to have our favorites. We always walk out with a smile on our faces and beautiful nails. I drive 45 minutes for them about every 5-6 weeks. Won't go anywhere else. read more

Luxurious decor, super clean and they carry out health & safety standards with use of gloves & liners in the pedicure tubs. They also offer you the nail file, buffer, and pumice stone that was used just for you, to take home as a added perk. They offer several pedicure/manicure packages. There is a well stocked beverage bar & have a designated area that is welcoming for group parties to socialize while enjoying a manicure. The technicians are very professional, knowledgeable, and skilled in the latest nail fashion trends. They listen to what the customer wants & I would feel very comfortable returning if a correction needed to be made. The owner meets with customers, is very organized, and brings to the customer many years of a superior reputation running 2 locations. I have been to many salons in the area & had almost given up finding a salon that could offer professionalism. I found this salon through Yelp today & was very impressed. I would feel very confident bringing friends/family in for a spa day. Payment is accepted by debit, but pay in cash & you earn rewards towards a mani/pedi. The technicians that did your mani/pedi have their names printed on the receipt so you can ask for them again the next time. No corners are cut here. The quality of service is remarkable! read more

I got gel paint with two accent nails on each hand. They followed my directions perfectly and did a great job! It was a little busy but they were very nice about informing me that it would be a wait and I didn't feel like they rushed through my nails. I would definitely recommend and will come back when I am in town again! read more

Had a good experience getting a pedicure. They were able to take us right away and my toes look great!

best pedicure i've ever gotten. such a clean and modern place. they even used the pedi liner in the bowl which is the law but it's very rare to come by! read more

Sadly I won't be returning, although I have had great experiences there previous to today's visit. Just spent 20 minutes at home Cleaning up my gel manicure. Red polish all over my cuticles and the nails were not cut shorter as I had asked. I should've said something then but the vibe there was that I was a burden. I spent $65 on a mani/pedi because the sugar scrub and hot towel are extra. Extra. She also used only a scrubber on my feet, so the pedi was a wash. I'll be looking for a new nail salon. read more

I had my nails done by Jordan and I got a mix between almond shape and stiletto. I'm not normally someone that wears my nails longer so I also wanted them a bit shorter then your classic stiletto nails. She did perfect. All were even and looked great. My claws were just the right amount of point, without interfering with my career. read more

My mom and I came here for her birthday for a pedicure. You have to understand that my mom almost never pampers herself, or get pedicures often, so she was in heaven! The prices were very affordable, the staff was nice, and they even gave us wine when we asked for it (and I don't think they charged us extra?). It wasn't my favorite pedicure of all time...I love the place I go to locally. But it was definitely a nice place and they did a good job. read more

Average at best. Got a pedicure and my eyebrows waxed. Whatever lotion they used on my legs smells like an old lady and my eyebrows were waxed way too thin. read more

This has been my go to place for the past year. I love it! The staff is really friendly; I do have my go to person, but if she's not available someone will always help me out. The prices are reasonable and the spa pedicures are worth ever penny. read more

Disappointing! A friend referred me to this salon for an IceDancer Pedicure. She could not say enough about how awesome the treatment was and how the technician massaged her lower leg like a pro. I was willing to pay the $43 for a great experience. When I walked in I thought wow this place is clean and well done. I was excited. Then they asked if I wanted a drink (not complimentary, they charge you which is something they don't tell you upfront). I ended up with a very young technician that was not trained and didn't know anything about the application of the products or any type of massage. If you want top dollar then you need to have a full staff of 100% trained technicians at all times. A nice facility can't sustain your business for long without the staff to back it up. An older lady who appeared to be the manager just lounged around with her shoes off and was watching but didn't step in to mentor or train. read more
