I love getting my nails done when I'm able. Been coming here since they opened in this area. No frills shop design. But that should not detract you from the quality work these girls do! They carry the best nail dip brands here. I love how thin my nails are when they are done. Not clunky and chunky like other nail salons make them. Appointments are highly encouraged and appreciated. I don't typically get my pedicure done. But I have before. They have great packages. I typically do nail tips with dip fills. Soooo many color choices. Takes one hour for new set. 1.5 hour max if I need to remove an old set and put new nails in. They last me about 3 weeks. This is based on which nail dip powder I pick. I love the selections here. I am a mom...and pretty hard on my nails with lots of hand washing. Price for my dipped nails with tips and designs are $60 before gratuity. If I feel fancy I get designs which can cost $5-10 depending what I ask for. I recommend Nail Lounge for all mani/pedi needs! read more

Experience was great BUT the cost of a basic Pedi in your online info says $35 and I was charged $40.00 Shouad probably change your online pricing read more

The girl that did my nails seemed like she was high, burned me multiple times with the nail drill. Her coworker stepped in to help, But i feel like this was the worst experience for me personally, didn't give professional at all! Talking about work problems and other people while giving a service is distasteful. Don't waste your time or money if you value quality work and service. read more

honestly one of the worst manicures I have ever gotten. Booked a full set with gel, and left with chunky dip. Basic color French tip nails, ended up uneven and not close to what I wanted. No nail care as well, didn't even touch my cuticles. read more

Today I went to Nail Lounge at 2200 University because of their excellent reviews! IT WAS STUPENDOUS! And guys they did not disappoint! They even offered a glass of wine.

She is my Tech until. read more

The worst pedicure and manicure ever!! I was welcomed by a vulgar music that is played loudly AND displayed on a plasma tv. This music is not for everyone. Such music can only be played when no client is present, and obviously must be changed when client sits down to enjoy mani& pedi. Furthermore, the lady who did my nails was talking to her friend on the phone through headphones. I felt like I was a burden to them, disrupting their kick back time. Second, I was charged for a full pedicure when didn't get a polish. The pedicure lasted for about 15 minutes, sloppy job that cost $30! I asked my finger nails to be round, and not square--I got square shape even after I specifically asked not to. Then my nails were not even! Had to point that out several times. Finally, after my nails were roughly filed down, the lady didn't bother to smooth them out. This is the worst experience I ever had at any nail salon. read more

I can't wait for a girls' day out @ The Nail Lounge because it's definitely that social nail salon where you want to go out with the girls! A+++! read more

Penny and Diana were so wonderful when my wife and I went to get mani-pedis. They took us in as walk-ins, offered us drinks, set the pedi spa to a comfortable temperature, and helped us to choose the best settings for the massage chairs. They both offered great conversation and hospitality. The ladies paid close attention to our needs and personalized our experiences. I definitely received one of the absolute best foot / calf massages from Penny! Penny, Diana, and The Nail Lounge all receive 5 stars from us!!! read more

Brought my granddaughters in for a simple painting of their fingernails. One was seated after a 30 minute wait. The other was to be seated and a "regular" breezed in 30 minutes early for her appointment. They took that person and left my kid to wait. I couldn't leave without her getting her nails done so I'm taking this to Yelp. This is how they treat little kids? We come to Des Moines a lot to visit family. I will not be coming here again. read more

Every time I leave the Nail Lounge, I leave an extremely happy person. Not only am I happy with the amazing nail service I received, but everyone working there is so kind and professional but also very great conversationalists. And another plus is it never breaks the bank. Penny keeps her salon very affordable, which helps when wanting to come back for more! I love the Nail Lounge and everyone there!! read more

They ass and they tax. DONT GO HERE read more

First and last time I will come here. I got the dip on my nails on a Wednesday and they all fell off by Sunday night. The lady who did my nails was on her cellphone snap chatting and cursing through out the whole appointment. Everyone else seemed very nice and interactive with their customers. read more

Diana did a fantastic job and she is easy to talk to. She spent her time making sure my nails looked just right. I will be coming back to this nail salon! Mary read more

Not great gel manicure. Sloppy. More interested in her cell phone than giving me a good manicure. Won't be going back.

Penny does a great job on my nails every time I get my nails done there. I have been getting manicures and pedicures here for several years now and i have never had a bad experience. Highly recommend! read more

Nail Lounge is great. Everyone is nice and super helpful. The salon is always clean and they do great work. I love getting dip on my nails.

Everyone is super nice and they do an amazing job. Love Diana. She knows just what you want.

I love this place! It's always been my goal to walk into a nail salon and have them know my name! They are so welcoming, and so so nice. I've been coming here since they opened almost a year ago, and have had nothing but good turn outs! Their pedis are awesome! I usually go for shellac or dip nails and they are so talented! If you want to go somewhere that you know is clean and friendly, I definitely recommend the nail lounge. read more
