Peeling manicure
Joanna B.

I'm so sad to put a 1 star review because so many of my friends recommended this nail salon and I was very excited to try it out but was so disappointed. Starting out, I had an appointment for me and my mom but they didn't take my mom until about 30 minutes past the appointment time, and they didn't even take me at the same time so I sat and watched her get her nails done for an hour and then she had to sit and wait for mine to get done so that was definitely a bummer. My manicure was rushed and pretty streaky and sloppy. The color needed another coat but wasn't applied. Also when I put my hand under the blue light gel setting thing, I would put my hand in there for like 10 seconds and my nail tech would gesture me to bring it back out. It was under there such a short amount of time and I thought that was weird but figured they knew what they were doing. My gell manicure started peeling not even 24 hours later. I spent like $75 or something like that and both my mom and my nails were completely ruined in a couple of days. Not to mention, while I was there, two of the techs got into a fight and were screaming at eachother, while still doing nails at the same time. They were literally yelling at eachother in front of customers while doing their nails. That was very uncomfortable and unprofessional.

Pedicure time!! Yayy!!

We have been seeing Donna for manyyy years prior to her joining Nail by Tracy's Salon...to say that she is our favorite go to for both nails and pedicures in Carson City would be an understatement! Not only is this a 2 to 3 week get my pretty designed nails with monthly pedicures, my husband partakes in her ahhhmazing spa pedicures too! We have had a great experience every time I come to not only see her but everyone at the salon is friendly, helpful and does an AWESOME job - have you seen the creative designs these gals have done for soooo many customers, check out some of the pictures on here or the next time you are enjoying YOUR pedicure. During my most recent experience, I came with just an idea of a color that I would like to go with and without hesitation Donna pulled a beautiful sparkly red, put a gorgeous flower on one nail and then handpainted some designs around the flower - LOVE love the creations so comes up with anddd added bonus I ALWAYS have people compliment my nails!! Pedicures for both my husband and I are ahhhmazing, relaxing and just pure zen!! Best part she gives the best mini leg and foot massage and her attention to detail is amazing!!! Bring on the warm towel to wrap up your toes, feet and lower legs - yep that's the stuff!! Did I mention that my Daughter found Donna first anddd loved her SO MUCH that other family to include step-Mom and Mother-in-law even has been pampered by her. Heck several female coworkers of my hubby's even have followed Donna to her new digs - she's the BESTEST!! The salon decorated cute and is very clean: each station is sanitized between clients with all staff wearing gloves and masks pre-covid and still, pedicure chairs are sanitized with foot bins having disposable plastic liners for every use. Everyone in the salon is so friendly and kind. LOVE our time with Donna - conversation is ALWAYS great and she makes you feel truly welcome!! We/I always feel valued, appreciated, never rushed and pampered!! Pro Tip: Book your appointment ahead. The gals are usually pretty busy.

Thank you Nova Nails for my elegant ombre nails...they are eye catching but not over the top...just what I wanted for my business trip to Las Vegas...

Kids birthday celebration!
Sylvia P.

Tracy is amazing!! She takes her time and her free hand nail art is amazing!! She is accommodating and really fun to talk to!! If your looking for a COVID appropriate kids celebration I highly suggest coming here!! The space was limited to myself, daughter and 2 friends!! Not only am I a regular client but so is my daughter!! The staff loves to spoil my girl and they are all so patient with kids!!

My lovely coffin nails by Tracy
Yvonne M.

Thank you Tracy for taking the time away from your busy day, your child's birthday no less, to meet me today. As you know I'm visiting from out of state, so any time one has the need to use an unfamiliar business you're taking a chance on the quality and workmanship you might be used to. You went above and beyond!! I LOVE my nails!!!

I asked Heidi for short natural looking coffin nails and she definitely nailed it
Courtney D.

Heidi was amazing! Very meticulous and asked me multiple times if I liked the shape. Super sweet! I wanted a short coffin nail that looks very natural and she definitely nailed it!

I've gone to many nails salons and I have to say this one is one of my favorites! The last nail salon I went to didn't quite listen to me about how I wanted my nails done but, when I went to nova nails for a fill, Kim the tech listened to everything I wanted even though it was a hassle as one of my nails were broken and my nails had black powder on them. I highly recommend this nail salon! Great prices, good vibes, and immaculate service

First impressions are important! The good: I was a walk-in,…read morewas greeted warmly and brought to a chair without waiting. I had a great pedicure from Luna. Attention to every toe! Prices are very affordable. The bad & ugly: I almost walked out because the place was petty bad. A pile of dirty towels was on the floor, the rug looked like it wasn't vacuumed in a long time. Nothing neat or tidy. I did not see how they cleaned the tubs (no liners) and was afraid to ask if the instruments were cleaned. Conclusion: I'm hesitant to recommed Get Nailed because of the way it looks. But, I did get a great pedicure. The shop really needs to, literally, clean up their act. First impressions are important and lasting!

I'm honestly not sure how this salon has stayed in business for so long. For a while I overlooked…read morethe condition of the salon, but after paying closer attention, I became increasingly concerned. The salon is consistently dirty, and what concerns me most is the sanitation. During my visits, I never once saw tools being sterilized between clients. From what I observed, the technicians simply pulled the tools from their carts and used them. I never saw them come from sealed sterilized pouches or go through any visible sterilization process, which raised serious concerns for me. Another ongoing issue is the scheduling. Even with an appointment, I regularly waited 45 minutes or more while walk-in customers were taken ahead of those who had scheduled in advance. It made appointments feel pointless. Cleanliness, proper sanitation, and respecting customers' time should be the bare minimum for any salon. Based on my experience, this salon falls short in all three areas. It also makes me wonder how often salons like this are inspected by the appropriate state or local licensing agency, because customer health and safety should always come first.

I don't know much about nail salons. This is my first review of one... but my wife has gone to…read moreDiamond Nails for quite a while now, and after visiting with her for a pedicure, I feel I can honestly rate it. Diamond Nails has plenty of parking- located at the Indian Hills shopping plaza. Upon walking in, there are a few nail technician tables on the left and some pedicure chairs on the right with some polish racks in the center. We had an appointment for two pedicures, but weren't seated in our chairs until about 15 minutes after. The chairs seemed a bit worn out. The leather has seen better days, and the massage feature was too aggressive for me, no matter which setting I used. It felt like rocks being rubbed on my back. The pedicure itself was fine, and my wife says it stands up to many she's had at other nail places. Compared to places I remember visiting with my mom as a kid/teen, it has a less harsh nail chemical smell, and I enjoyed the relaxing environment. The technicians spoke to each other very quietly. I always remember loud talking and yelling across the room at nail salons when I was young. Overall, I don't have much to compare it to, but Diamond Nails offered a positive pedicure experience, and I would return.

Diamond Nails is hands down the best nail salon I've ever been to... I've been to a lot of salons…read moreover the years, and no one compares, especially in the Carson City area. The nail art is flawless, the shaping is always perfect, and they pay so much attention to detail. They never rush, and my nails come out exactly how I imagined, if not better. And the foot massage is honestly one of the best I've ever had. The salon is clean, everyone is friendly, and I always leave feeling pampered. I won't go anywhere else. If you're looking for beautiful nails and consistently amazing service, Diamond Nails is the place to go!
