Guys, Rachel is a GAME CHANGER in the nail game. Not only does she do impeccable work (And I'll admit - I'm hard to please) but she also spends time educating you on how to grow and keep your nails healthy! I am always doing new nail art and she nails it (heh) every time. Whether it's gemstone, marble or Japanese nail art.... she just gets me. Online booking is super clutch and her space is so comfortable and cute (inside Phoenix Salons). Her playlist is also an entertaining and eclectic blend that's sure to please all the peeps. If you prioritize the quality and health of your nails AND/or wanna get down with some RAD nail art, def book with Rach right now! She's a one woman show so be sure to book in advance.

Holiday Nails!

Rachel is truly an artist! I love that she educates me on all things nails and knows what's best for my nails. I drive all the way from Long Beach to see her and probably won't be going to the nail shop down the street any longer. She's also very welcoming and I love her space! Thank you for always taking care of me!

Hi Rachel, D'you also do pedicures?? Thank you.

Thank you for reaching out, I am a gel manicure specialist. I do not offer pedicure services.

Do you have Dazzle Dry polish? I am looking for a manicure that does NOT include filing the top of my already thin nails.

I do offer Dazzle Dry services, however I do utilize gentle diamond bits and an electric file to perform a dry manicure and cuticle work.

Hello i am wondering how much the price will be for acrylic gel new set. Also do you guys do eyebrow waxing? If so how much?

Hi there, I do not offer acrylic services of any kind and waxing services are out of my scope as a manicurist, I do not offer esthetician services.

How much for gel X?

Hi there! The price for Aprés Gel-X extensions varies based on nail art and add-ons, however you can always view my most up-to-date prices on my booking site: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18381956 or on my website… 

Do you do gel polish change on hand? And how do you take them off ( with file n foil ) or (drill)?. Thank You.

Hi There! I do not offer gel polish changes- I do offer single color gel manicures (gel removal can be added onto the service) as well as gel removal only.… 

Does Rachel only do Manicures, not pedicure?

Hi there! Yes, I only offer gel manicure services.

These aren't even square and she kept cutting the side of my toe nails and filing them back when they were too short and hurt. I've been coming. Here for a long time this is probably the worst shaping I've ever gotten here. I could have done my own shaping better than that at home. Just ridiculous *** it was around 5-7 weeks since my last pedicure so my toes were not "really short" besides the big toe that broke. I added another picture to show that she was filing into my toe nails after cutting them super short as short as she could get them and made half of them round and tiny. She also cut the sides of the nails which you aren't supposed to do due to infection and hang nails. I asked her not to do this. there was no reason for her to cut the sides of my nails on one foot and not the other leaving with me with uneven toes. I appreciate the response but I feel that there should be an attempt to fix the situation instead of making excuses or insinuating that I'm making this up.

I was in town and needed my nails done at the last minute, so I picked this salon because it had…read morealmost 5 stars and a ton of positive reviews. After my appointment, I went back and read the negative reviews, and honestly, those matched my experience much more closely. The first red flag was that I walked in to ask about pricing, then left to think about it, and one of the employees actually came out into the parking lot to convince me to come back. That immediately felt off. The second red flag was that I asked for almond-shaped acrylics, and the technician immediately started putting tips on without ever asking what length I wanted. He just assumed I wanted them short. By that point I was already committed, so I just went with it. As the service went on, I also noticed the salon wasn't as clean as I would expect. There were leftover decorations up and everything was just dirty and had stains on it, and debris around the work area, and it just didn't give me a great feeling. To be fair, the pedicure came out really nice. They opened what appeared to be a sealed pack of sanitized tools, which I appreciated, and I'm happy with how my toes turned out. The acrylic nails, though, were another story. The technician left noticeable gaps between the acrylic and my cuticles, as well as along the sides of my nails. They're also extremely thick. My boyfriend, who normally doesn't notice nails at all, actually asked if they were press-ons because they looked so bulky and fake. It's only been about a week, and because of the large gap near the cuticle, they already look like they've grown out for several weeks. I know sometimes a last-minute appointment is all you can get, and that's why I stayed. But if I could do it over again, I would have gone somewhere else. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon based on my experience.

Greed Over Quality: A Salon Gone downhill quicker than it can recover…read more Save your money and look elsewhere. For $250, you can absolutely find a salon that provides a much better experience, better value, and a lot more respect for your time and money. Unfortunately, this salon has gone downhill since its recent remodel. Not only are the new chairs incredibly uncomfortable, (it's like sitting on a stack of bricks with no headrest) prices have gone up with hidden costs. They claim to have a breakdown of services which includes cost for short or medium gel, X, which is ridiculous considering the box of tips is all the same and I was charged $25 extra for a manicure and additional nail services that used to feel like a standard part of the overall experience at most nail salons.) The entire experience left me feeling like the salon cares far more about squeezing every dollar out of its customers than providing quality service. My total came to $250 with tip, and I walked away feeling completely disappointed and overcharged. The biggest issue is the overall management and business approach. The recent changes give the impression that the owners are more focused on increasing revenue than maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty. My question is where were the owners before? The customers never even saw them . A remodel should improve the customer experience, not make it more uncomfortable and expensive. I have referred a lot of people to your salon, and I will be taking ALL of our business elsewhere to a salon that cares about their clientele.

This was my first time visiting Fleur Nail Spa, and I had a wonderful experience!…read more The spa is decorated so cute and has a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. As soon as I arrived, I was offered a beverage, which was a nice touch. Abby was my nail technician, and she did an amazing job! I showed her a picture of the nails I wanted, and she was able to replicate them perfectly. They came out exactly how I envisioned them. It was also my first time trying Gel-X nails, and I absolutely love them--I will definitely be getting Gel-X again! Crystal did my gel pedicure, and it also came out perfect. Both technicians were professional, friendly, and paid great attention to detail. I also loved their use of technology. The check-in process was simple, and I really appreciate that their system keeps track of your service history and the technicians you've seen. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and highly recommend Fleur Nail Spa. I will definitely be returning!

Unfortunately, the customer service and payment experience completely ruined our visit. From the moment we walked in, Salem at the front desk came across as rude and unwelcoming. Then there were multiple issues with our bill. We were first told we had been undercharged, then overcharged, and we were also given the wrong ticket amount. On top of that, my mother attempted to withdraw $300 from their ATM, but the machine only dispensed $180. We were told she would receive a refund for the missing money, but she still has not received it. What bothered me most was Salem's attitude when I questioned all of the changing prices and incorrect charges. Instead of apologizing or trying to calmly explain what happened, she told me, "That's just how we work here." When I expressed that I was unhappy with the situation, she even told me that if I didn't like it, I didn't have to come back. Then, after all of this, they called me again saying that they had undercharged me. The nail technicians deserve recognition because Kim and Diana were great, but the front desk customer service and the way the payment issues were handled were extremely disappointing. With so many billing problems in one visit, I would strongly recommend checking your receipt carefully before leaving and keeping documentation of any refunds you are promised. I definitely won't be going back.

This review has been a long time coming! Honestly, selfishly, I hesitated to post it because…read moregetting an appointment with Belle is already difficult enough, and I'm not exactly trying to make it harder for myself. But credit is due where credit is due, and exceptional work deserves to be recognized! This review is dedicated to Belle, a true artist who works absolute magic. There hasn't been a single inspiration picture I've shown her that she hasn't been able to recreate. And I don't mean just the general design -- I mean the details, the shape, and even the exact color. I can show her a picture, and somehow she manages to find the perfect shade to match it. Her ability to bring inspiration pictures to life is unmatched. What truly sets Belle apart, however, is her attention to detail. Her work is immaculate. She is a perfectionist in the best possible way, taking her time to ensure every nail is even, properly shaped, and perfectly aligned. Nothing looks rushed, crooked, or unfinished. Everything is intentional. I've received compliments on my cuticles countless times, which says so much about the level of care she puts into her work. She's also incredibly skilled at addressing ingrown nails with the same precision and care. Belle doesn't just do nails; she takes pride in her craft. And that difference is evident in every appointment. You're not simply paying for a manicure; you're paying for her expertise, patience, precision, and the years of skill it takes to deliver consistently beautiful results. That said, if you're lucky enough to secure an appointment with her, please respect her time the same way you expect her to respect yours. Belle is in high demand for a reason, so please don't show up late. If you're unsure what color or design you want, arrive early enough to browse the colors and have an idea of what you're looking for. Her time is valuable, and being considerate of her schedule is the bare minimum. At the end of the day, respect goes both ways. You expect your nail technician to give you her time, attention, and best work, and she deserves that same consideration from her clients. Belle, your talent speaks for itself, and your work is a reflection of the pride you take in what you do. You deserve every bit of recognition you receive. Thank you for consistently exceeding my expectations and for making sure I leave loving my nails every single time. Five stars, without hesitation. If you know, you know. And if you're lucky enough to get on her books, you'll understand exactly why she's worth the wait.
