absolutely furious on my experience here. i've had the same nail tech for around 3 years. i ONCE cheat on her and everything is miserable. to start i booked for a SOAK OFF and full set. when i arrived nail tech was no where to be seen. i got confused when she wasn't soaking off my nails.. and the nails i had on had already been through 2 fills they needs to come off. her name is jenny. do not book with her. i also wanna state the fact she was clueless on the most simple details ever. she took around 45 minutes to shape them bc she only used a file not a drill. when the design came i had to get something i did not want bc she couldn't do it. one flower on ONE nail took her about 35 minutes to do. it was ridiculous. as far as being furious about that i paid $87 for one to fall off 2 days later . she filled my cuticles,burned me, and filled the wrong way. i'm so disappointed.

Awfle absolutely awful 3:45 to 4:45 we didn't get home until 7 PM Also my I had to Aggrissivley wash my hands, try and get the nail polish off The place was very right and blue even during fall I asked if my nails were too short to get they said yes and laughed at my question. That's just straight up mean

Absolutely HORRIBLE service! They must have been in such a rush they cut the shit out of my 12 year old daughter who was just having her natural nails done!!! Absolutely no reason this should happen....now she will probably get an infection

I recommend this place every time someone asks where to go in west Des Moines to get themselves pampered! I love the online booking, everyone is so pleasant to talk to, very helpful & every step they take their time & make sure it's exactly what you're wanting. My Valentine's Day nails were done by Jason & I am so happy with how they turned out!

Amazing service and the staff is so kind. My nail tech moved over to Star Nail Lounge so I had to try it out. I went in the first time when there was a bad storm and they were still open for their costumers.

I was super excited to come to this nail salon because of all of the AMAZING reviews and pictures I saw of designs on Yelp. However, after I showed my design I was told they could do it and this was the outcome. The line work is terrible please do not waste your time or money. They charged $77 for this and it did not come out well at all. They also cut my nail beds extremely bad to the point it drew blood. Very disappointed and I will not be returning.

Horrible and clumpy nails. Old polish which made nails thick. Uneven nails with jagged edges.

Clean salon and friendly technicians. I've always been able to get an appointment in a short timeframe.

Decided to I wanted to give OMG nails a try and I instantly regretted it. Upon arrival I felt…read moreunwelcome and uncomfortable. One of the technicians said something to another one who proceeded to stare at me and laugh. I'm not sure what was funny or what they were even saying but I ultimately decided to leave after one of the nail techs sat down in front of me, still making comments to the other then took her cart and left. Smh

I came in for a simple pedicure. The initial prep was done well they were thorough with cleaning…read moreand removing buildup. However, I wasn't asked if I wanted my toenails clipped, which I did want. When I mentioned it, instead of clipping them, they were quickly filed, and it felt very rushed with little attention to detail. When it came time to apply the polish, I asked for white. The application was very messy, with polish getting onto my cuticles, and once my toes came out of the UV lamp, the polish was visibly bumpy. I was told it was due to my toenails, but I explained that my nails are not naturally like that it was the polish. More polish was added, but the issue remained, so I said again that I wasn't happy with how it looked. At that point, the polish was removed and another staff member stepped in, but unfortunately, the service still felt rushed. There were still visible bumps, and I didn't feel like proper care or time was being taken. By then, I just wanted to leave. Overall, I didn't feel heard or understood during the service, and it felt like they were more focused on finishing quickly than providing quality work. This was disappointing, especially since this is a paid service and I expected better attention to detail.

This was my very first experience with this company. I was…read morerefereed by a friend. I tried to make my appointment online but had a little trouble. I called right away and the lady at the desk was great and made sure i got in for the time that I was attempting online. I arrived a few minutes before my appointment as I figured there would be paperwork. I was right. Just one page for information. My appointment was at 1:15 and was greeted to go back to the room about 5 min or so after that. The rooms are very clean and well kept. There is nice set up for the different procedure they do there. I ordered a couple different things. Hannah who was my cerologist was fantastic. They use a wax there that doesn't really stick to the skin. It was great cause I didnt turn red like I did before from other waxings. She was very nice and talked to me during the procedure. She made sure that I was happy with what she did. She wanted me to make sure that I told her if there was anything that I wasn't happy with. We had a few laughs as everything was getting done. I went home feeling good. It was great that everything went so smoothly so to speak. They did sell me a skin treatment to help with any skin issues after the procedure was completed. Everything looked great when I got home. I am pretty happy with the entire experience all around. The pricing was decent cause i got 50% off the most expensive procedure. Ill have to start saving up for the next time. I did get a text a day later asking for feedback. I rated them on the text but wanted to give my feedback here.

Friendly, efficient service got me vacay ready in no time! Painless and comfortable environment…read more Staff was knowledgeable and professional.

So this is a long overdue review. I absolutely LOVE Serenity. I have been four times since I moved…read moreto Des Moines and have had four different stylists (I normally don't get my hair cut more than once a year, but after pregnancy I've had to go more frequently). Every single one has been absolutely amazing, both talent wise and personality wise. This last time really stuck in my mind. Being a new mom, things are already stressful enough. Being in a city where I have no family, limited friends, semi-new, and a husband who travels weekly for work- finding a babysitter many times isn't an option. So normally, I don't plan anything. But I was wanting something new, and dying to get out of the house for something besides work or a doctor's appointment, so I decided to try to go out with a five-month old. Not only was she screaming, she was clawing, angry, and teething. I felt SO embarrassed and even considered asking to reschedule, even though my hair was already covered in foil. My stylist, Ashley, as well as all the other stylists AND other customers were absolutely amazing. Ashley reassured me over and over that it was okay, she was incredibly patient, and showed me several places to feed my daughter, change her, etc. One of the other stylists played with her while I was getting my hair cut, and even another customer walked her around. I was absolutely overwhelmed by the kindness and patience, especially as someone who is just trying to understand mommyhood while being in a city away from my friends and family. Oh, and btw, my hair looks awesome, as it always does after I visit here :) Definitely will continue coming here- hopefully, alone next time :)

Always a pleasure during, and great hair when you leave. Color, cut, highlights and low lights,…read moreNatalie does it all skillfully. She is my go to gal.
