My favorite thing about this spot is the color selection I always find exactly what I'm looking for. I have had 3 pedicures here the first two times the person started my pedicure without even filling the bowl with water which was very strange, I always love a presoak, so this time I made sure to ask to soak first and had a perfect experience. The pedicure chairs look very clean and new. read more

I am came in a couple days ago and got French tips and they've already chipped off a lot. These are acrylic nails with gel polish on top with French tips. Is the salon able to fix this free of charge? As I came in a couple days ago and my nails have already chipped. I would just ideally like the French shaving off and it could just be the pink acrylic underneath. read more

I want to start with the reason I gave 4 stars. Pricing isn't awful but it is a little expensive when they start to tack on add ons. I feel it's silly to charge to take gel off when that is an included part of the service. With that being said I am a veryyy picky girl. My simple gel french tip pedis with Ivy NEVER disappoint, and the one time I got a design for my baby shower she was nervous but gave it a try and they were so cute! She also reassured me that someone else can come fix it if I'm not satisfied! and my nail tech Tiger is an incredible tech. I get a full set of almond shaped acrylics and I'm super picky about shape and he really takes his time! His designs are flawless and he is willing to try whatever you throw at him! He was recommended by my friend and I've never gone anywhere else since I've lived here the passed year. I pay $145 before tip I think and I do recall paying $80 back home in SAN DIEGO where things are typically very expensive so I stand by my 4 stars but it has nothing to do with the techs, even when I've gone with others I've never been disappointed here. The prices could come down a bit though. I used to do my own nails so I am well aware of the cost of product and the time it takes and this is a bit much. Still going to return though because the nail salons out here that I went to before were ROUGH. It's clean and consistent here and I will probably remain loyal to this business as long as I continue to get my nails done read more

Ahhhh, love this place! I had Megan and she was wonderful. I had a simple gel manicure on my natural nails. She did a great job and was meticulous about getting my nails perfect without me prompting her. I really appreciate her taking the time to make sure everything was going to work well and let me try a couple polish colors before deciding on the one. You would think a basic manicure would be standardized, but I've been to too many places that don't push the cuticle up and remove the gross bits. She did all of that and then some. The place itself is very cute and gives a Roman (?) vibe with the decor. I didn't feel like I was being pushed by a sales person. Fairly priced especially for the quality. They also have A TON of color options. read more

I am always looking to find a new nail salon and Tempe Nails was able to fit me right in for a gel manicure with no appointment. The color selection for gel polish was unlike anything I have ever seen at a nail salon. I was able to show a photo of what I was looking to have done and my nails turned out almost identical to the photo! It was a very relaxing and clean space inside of the salon and I did not feel as though my nails were being rushed, she took her time and I left with a great outcome! read more

Nails deserve 100/10 my guy was amazing and the quality is great I've been here many times. However I want management to see this for the artist next to me. First pls stop shoving religion down everyone's throat. Everyone has different beliefs, and if you want to talk about God, then go to church. If a client wants some thing, don't try to convince them out of it or make it more difficult than it needs to be visually your client being uncomfortable. 15 minutes of u trying to make her get something else when she just wanted a short French tip. Also how unprofessional when my artist is trying to help u , u yell "let me do my job" 3x. Me and the other girl were so uncomfortable and taken back. There was many other things on how u spoke and u provided the service I hope u improve on and don't let ur ego carry u that way.

I'm not usually the type to leave a bad review & it's not the service or the quality but honestly the pricing. I understand inflation takes part in most things these days but for short nails and a french tip on the toes was 125$ with no tip. anywhere else would've been 100$ maximum for short short nails and the smallest french tip on the toes. the basic pedicure was priced at 32$ but came out to 48 with the french tip which again, isn't reasonable for the smallest sliver of polish at the top of the toes. typically it's 5$ extra charge which is reasonable but 16$ up charge for a small french tip is insane. acrylic was priced at 54$ for full set typically an up charge for the length but they charged an extra 23$ for short short nails. it's not reasonable and i don't recommend this place if you're looking for good pricing. read more

I had really grown out my dip nails and needed them taken off quickly. I put nail salons in maps and found the one closest with the best reviews. I'm so happy I ended up here! I have very thin, sensitive nails and my tech was really kind as she took off the dip powder. The place was very clean and quiet, with a few TVs and no music. Very relaxing. The whole process took about thirty minutes, the polish looks great, and it was only $25. Exactly what I needed when I needed it. read more

This spa is linked to a location off of Scottsdale and McKellips... I never leave reviews but I am so frustrated. Two weeks ago, I went here for a gel French pedicure. Never in my life have I pad $80 for a basic pedicure with gel and French tip. Yes, it's more expensive to get gel and French but $80, cmon!! I have never paid more than $60. Not to mention gel lasts me a month on my toes which is why I get this done. Literally, my gel polish starting peeling off yesterday. It has been two weeks. I have NEVER had that happen. The service was great but it was expensive and so not worth it. I will not be going back here. read more

I went to this salon for over 3 years and most of that time was with Jason. Before I state all the crappy things I have to say, I will be the first to say, he is a talented nail tech. But that doesn't make it ok that he made me wait 20-45 min almost every time when I would come in for my appointment. A lot of times he starts to chat and pauses from doing nails so your appointment that should be around 1 hour ends up being 2.5 hours with the wait. Last time I went there I asked for cat eye polish. Well it didn't look like cat eye like I have seen multiple friends get done so I voiced that it's not what cat eye typically looks like or what I wanted and that upset him. He started talking to me an irritated tone and I didn't want to upset him any further so I said it was fine, thanked him, and still gave him the 25% tip that I always gave. Well I called in a few weeks ago to schedule an appointment and the receptionist said he was out of town for a month and a half (which was odd for him) so I asked to schedule an appointment with his sister so the receptionist put me on hold and came back and said "Jason is the best nail tech in the salon, so if you weren't happy with your nails last time, nobody here will satisfy your nail needs so you should find another salon". I honestly couldn't believe my ears. How unprofessional. His job is to satisfy his customers nail needs and if a client is not happy with their nails, you shouldn't get offended or get upset. I just wanted to voice my experience so people know that if you are picky about your nails and want to be able to voice comfortably how you feel about your nails, Jason is not the nail tech for you. read more

Tempe Nails has become my go-to place for manis & pedis in the area. I first found them when I lived [basically] across the street in the spring of 2016 and wanted to #TreatYoSelf. With manis + pedis, it can be tiresome to try and find that one good spot. The first time I visited, they weren't terribly busy and I was able to get a good deep scrub treatment on my feet + the other normal pedi things. My nails and heels looked very nice longer than I'd experienced [which includes my hardcore wear n tear from the gym & volleyball]. And it wasn't terribly expensive! Convenient + great service + not all that expensive = woohoo! When I moved earlier this year a few miles away, I tried a salon closer to my house, and it was good, but not that great compared to these guys and gals. So when it came around to get another pedi, I went back to Tempe Nails and even got a mani too. A few days into it, I noticed a little chip on two of the nails... disappointing because even with my own DIY manis they stay un-chipped a few days longer. I gave them a call and explained the situation, and they were happy to fix the nails. I believe it was one of the owners I spoke with on the phone and who personally took care of me, and even did a once-over on the other nails. She even helped me search their massive array of colors to find the one I had on. read more

I am terrible at planning out my nail days, and the salon I've gone to for almost 3 years was busy so I took a chance and came here today. The attention to detail was great! I do gel-x fills and at my old salon they would sometimes be so thick. After asking length and shape, the man I had today (I forgot to ask his name) did an amazing job with exactly what I asked for, making them thinner without having to ask. I noticed the nail tech next to him paying just as much attention and taking time with what she was doing. The salon was also cute and well kept, and much more organized than some I've seen.

Alicia does so well, I recommended my best friend to go to her, since his girlfriend likes his face completely smooth, but, his beard grows in like mine, and her tips from each of us far exceed the paltry percentage she gets per customer from EWC. European Wax offers year long passes, where customers can go as often as necessary, and I since I need to go every two weeks to minimize the how much hair is being pulled at one time, I started getting those, since it would save a lot of money. I have five months left before the current year is up. My best friend also bought a year pass, after experiencing Alicia's skills and the lasting results. In the time I have been going to this location, the store has gone through SEVEN managers, with the latest one being Courtney, who has been there a month and a half. And now, Alicia is fired. Funny how the SIX managers BEFORE Courtney, did not fire Alicia, so, it should not take a rocket scientist to figure out who is the problem. Since my waxer is gone, one I trusted and counted on to do the job right (and we always have a great rapport), and I hold those in charge of the store, above the manager level, responsible, I will NOT be coming back to European Wax Centers, ever, for my business. I also want the balance of my pass fees refunded. When I talked to Courtney, she said she could only give me store credit. When I asked to for the corporate number, she said that the location was a franchise, so there is no corporate tie. After some digging, I called Courtney back and asked to speak to her bosses, Lauren and Jacqueline. She said she would pass the message. After not hearing back from either of them, I went into the store and asked her in person for their numbers. She said she could not give out the numbers, but, had left a message with them about my, "concerns". Later, she called me back and claimed that I had gone enough times that there would not be any prorate left on the balance. I do not appreciate European Wax Center for bouncing Courtney from the San Tan Village location to the Tempe Market Place location, because she could not work and play well with others, there (funny thing about the internet, things of record NEVER go away), and I do not appreciate Courtney for firing Alicia when six other managers prior had the management skills to not fire her, nor do I appreciate her gatekeeping the contact information for her bosses. But, that's ok, I will find it and let them know what I think.

I have been elsewhere but once I found Lisa, I never looked back. Her suite is cute, bright and comfortable, and it is soooo clean. The price is more than competitive with other wax providers in the area. And, best of all, she always does a great job. I hear that she is still giving a discount to new customers. But I recommend Lisa even without the discount. Set up and appointment, you won't regret it.

Contemplating flying out to Albuquerque just to get a wax from Lisa. She is the best there ever is!!read more

For me, it was less painful than the hard waxes I'm used to getting. Now I'm kind of wishing I had gotten the groupon for 3 waxes instead of just 2.

I love this place. Everyone is so nice but the wait can be long. Best to just make an appointment. I'm so happy that they were able to get me in on this Saturday morning. Tina was very nice and realized I was in a time crunch and still did an amazing job. So if you are in a time crunch be sure to tell them before hand so that they know how long they have you. I highly recommend them. read more

It led me to Golden Nails Spa & I had an excellent experience here. You know what I really appreciated? The hospitality. Everyone smiled & was welcoming, from the one gentleman up front to the woman who gave me the pedicure & then the lady who answered the phone. This seems like something super simple, but I've been to nail salons where they are just not NICE. They are there to do the job but do not incorporate kindness & customer service...at a service-oriented business. Many nail techs seem like they REALLY dislike their jobs. And if you question how they're doing something to your hands or feet, or even ask?! They often act insulted. It's a fine line to tread. When it shouldn't be. I chose the VIP pedicure - see the menu! Treatment on my legs: * sugar scrub * hot stone massage * peppermint mask + hot towels * there was no paraffin wax for my feet but these other treatments made up for that Then "regular" stuff for feet: * soaking * cheese grating! * nail trimming & shaping - I asked for filing instead of cutting Thank you to Golden Nails Spa & "Ann" for a relaxing pedicure.

The manager who answers the phone and runs things did the WORST job on my nails. Instead of fixing it she tried to make excuses and said I hadn't JUST been in, laughed at me and made fun of me to the customers in the store. You wonder why you don't keep clients, I can give you a big long list. The only good nail techs are the 2 younger women and the one older woman. I came in late on Friday. They originally said they would do a pedicure and gel manicure. I got a pedicure from the older woman and she did a good job until she messed up and took a chunk out of my big right toe. Then they said, "oh you pay for both and come back tomorrow for gel manicure." I was a regular at this Nail Salon so I agreed. I went back and they were all just sitting around. The manager did my nails and they looked like crap. She didn't paint all the way down and then blamed it on my nail growth. Really?? I've included pictures of the chipped nail on a 6 day old gel manicure and the pedicure done the day before. It makes ZERO sense that she would tell me it was my nail growth when it was her poor work and I was upset about her bad work since the day she did it. They have lost a regular, every 2 weeks, customer because of how the female manager handled the situation. She should have fixed her poor work and done a good job like I paid for.
