What a letdown. Purchased a Groupon for my stepmom for Mother's Day. I was excited to see decent reviews and Pam is right around the corner from my parents. They're busy people since they run their own business. The summer is their peak season so my stepmom wasn't able to use the gift certificate until months after. Long story short, from my initial interaction with Pam, she was very rude and curt. No warmth or empathy in her tone whatsoever. I asked her if she could provide a specific manicure--my stepmom prefers a gel nail built/sculpted on top of her real nail and Pam was incredibly short when I called to ask. She answered the phone as though I had woken her and then proceeded to cut me off and acted like I was such an inconveniece. Unfortunately I had already purchased the certificate out of excitement, hoping that I had found a new nail tech for my stepmom so it was too late to back out. My stepmom agreed with my assessment of the "business" and Pam after she had used the certificate. read more

I love coming to Pam. I can come in with a picture or anything, a color idea, and say "I trust you"; I come out with more amazing nails with nail art than I could have ever imagined!!!! read more

Pam did a horrible job on my nails, left them bumpy. I showed her and she really didn't care. Didn't offer to fix them. She is NOT professional at all. WARNING : She does horrible work and isn't a nice person at all. I'm just trying to warn you. I wouldn't give her one star but yelp makes you select. read more

Pam is AMAZING! I love it when I get me nails done with pam! I always get complements on my nails and I get ask "where do you get your nails done?" Sometimes I don't want to tell people because I want Pam to be my little secret! Pam knows her stuff and she uses the TOP OF THE LINE products! Pam has OVER 100 different colors and she even makes her own colors, and she is CND certified! Which means she has been trained in the proper technique to apply shellac! and Pam is just amazing, she is the BEST nail technician!! Go to pam for all you nail needs! P.S. Pam give the best manicures and pedicures in Arizona! and trust me I have been to SEVERAL nail salon before I found Pam! read more

How kind of Your Nail Gal Pam to respond to my review. However, she got a few things about me wrong that I'd like to correct. I am not a professional nail client. I'm a regular woman who gets monthly pedicures from an absolutely charming, competent and polite technician. She has never made faces at me, cursed at me, or indicated that I might break her equipment. She also works in a small space, however it is arranged so she and her clients are comfortable. Yes, I once wrote a series of articles for Nails Magazine, however, only one was about working with obese clients. I also wrote about hand treatments including plastic surgery, massage, clients with disabilities, luxury pedicure options, language barriers, and did salon reviews. When I was still able to work, I wrote on a number of subjects, including beauty, automotive, and more. I enjoyed my research and learned a lot. I never came to Pam with gels on my toes, nor did I ever ask her to remove gels that she didn't apply in the first place. She had a policy in place about gels and removals, and I respected that. Pam is certainly entitled to set up her salon space however she wishes...it IS her business. However, the pedicure throne is in a fixed position, and I fit on that, so her claim of being a contortionist is strange. She accused me of exceeding her chair's weight limit. Hmmm. I never mentioned my weight to her, nor did I weigh myself in her salon. Yes, I am fat. That's not easy to hide. And yes, bench style seating is awesome. However, I use pedicure thrones every month with no problem. If she was so concerned about her equipment, she could have asked me not to use it and suggested an alternative. Yes, I waited to write this review. I made notes after each visit, hoping to figure out what I could do to unleash this super tech that so many were swooning about. I dare say none of the beauty pros I work with now would consider me an undesirable client. True, my diabetes and severe arthritis might make me a challenge, but with open dialogue and common courtesy on both sides of the chair, issues are easily resolved. If Pam makes you happy and makes your nails gorgeous, then good for you. We all have choices. But if your experiences were more like mine, don't feel bad or embarrassed or think you did something wrong. There are plenty of nail techs out there who welcome clients who are differently abled. The tech I use now provides incredible, relaxing massage that makes me drool. Pam just made me sad and humiliated. read more

It was probably about a year ago that Pam did my nails. I had no idea she had a Yelp page, or I would have submitted a review earlier. She made me feel pretty bad about the state of my nails. I was there to get pretty nails and she just kept putting me down about the fact that my nails were so short. The nail job was fine, it wast just a very uncomfortable experience. Pam didn't really seem like she wanted to be doing my nails. read more

I found Pam almost a year ago after searching for a professional who could provide quality services for my nails. She is the best! I was pleased that she provided me with the education that I needed to get my nails healthy and consider alternative options to acrylic without compromising length. Pam is an amazing artist and she is just fun to watch her create at each appointment. I love that I can send her a design picture before my appointment and she is always prepped to make my nails look the same! I get so many compliments on my nails but most of all I enjoy them and the services provided by Pam. She is a stellar professional! A point to consider is that Pam is the owner and operator of her business. She is committed to your appointment but clients also need to respect her schedule and keep appointments as they are arranged. read more

Dear Reviewers, I noticed a review hasn't been done here for a while since about 2015. I had recently had the pleasure of visiting this nail spa, due to a Groupon deal that was worth 45$ and only costed me 22$ for one shellac manicure. Before starting just note my nails were about 1/4 damage a little less than half of damage on them, it was due to just me not taking care of my nails and I tend to pick at the skin around my fingers and cuticle area. I'm not very good with nail terminology or how the proper way to treat them all I knew is my nails weren't in perfect condition. And Ms. Pam let me know that right away. I liked how honest she was and even told me how I couldn't get french on my nails since they were short. Which is true. I didn't feel like she was being mean or trying to talk down to me it was nice to hear how my nails are, and she really wanted the nails to look very beautiful. She assisted me in picking out good colors and I kept seeing all the nice nails she made on these fake nails so many designs all were very beautiful. I picked out a nice design color on the wall. It was black with topaz glitter. During my visit it was really warm and cozy in her spa, it's inside a beauty mall with all these other services. She also explained the difference between regular gel polish and this one called CND which is made for nails that are brittle and broken, like it's suppose to be easier on the nail not so harsh. It seems to be doing well so far and had this on for about a couple days. She did mention how since my nails are short that I might not have a good application of the shellac also because my skin touches my nail very tightly. She was warning me ahead in case I notice it doesn't last as long as normal shellac manicures. Before when I had gel manicures at any other place they use this polish called Gelish which is pretty popular you see it a lot in all these places, Pam was telling me those aren't normally suppose to be used on natural nails only acyrlic type nails. All in all this was a good trip to the nail spa. And I'm thankful for the advice she gave. read more

I am surprised that Pam responded saying that the certificates were no longer supposed to be sold when I had the issue and posted the review more than 2 years ago. read more

I had such a wonderful mani-pedi with Pam yesterday. She was very friendly and professional. She gave me the best pedicure I've ever had. When she did my shellac nails, she applied the product very carefully and made sure she got it on the tip and under the nail. She very carefully removed any from my cuticle. She advised me on how to take care of my nails, and even gave me a small bottle of an oil to use. I already have my next appointment booked. The room is compact but Pam has plenty of room to do her work. I have found my nail specialist from now on. read more

I have been a client of Pam's for several years now and won't go to anyone else. What I like - no, LOVE - about her is how gentle she is with my nails. She does NOT use a dremel tool to file my natural nails down like so many places do, and she doesn't hurt me! My nails are so thin, I have never understood why they need a machine to rough up a thin layer of my fragile nails (I mean REALLY - are your nails so tough that they need a machine?) She thinks about the products she uses and chooses products that will help natural nails be as strong and healthy as possible even when she's putting artificial nails on top of them. My experience has been that sometimes this choice may come at the expense of the rock hard durability of other products but I am also quite hard on my nails (I wash dishes, I use them to scrape things off the counter.....) so, yes, I have to go back for repairs more often than at the other places, but I'm OK w/ that - It's a trade off for gentler products and a gentle manicurist who does a fabulous job. read more

I've been in the area for about a year now and was frequenting a "strip mall" nail salon and was fed up with having to have my nails redone every week just to look presentable. After doing my "Yelp" homework I found Pam. My nails look the best they ever have. No question. The service and end result are awesome. I'm going back tomorrow for a pedi. She really is a pro and is worth every penny. Thanks Pam! read more

Went to Pam last night and let me tell you it was an amazing experience. She puts such care and effort into making my nails gorgeous! She even mixed a couple colors together to make me a unique color. She now has a new faithful customer! read more

Another amazing gel manicure! She even had a great color picked out for me based on my last pick.

I highly recommend Pam. She is consistently fantastic and always on time. I have been her client for about 6 months, and her salon is cute and cozy. She practices safety measures, and she has a wide range of services. read more

After doing some searching and being new to this area I tried Pam's nails. I used the Yelp deal to go in and get a pedi and gel manicure. She isn't the cheapest in town but she is well worth the price for the dedication and time she puts into your services. You will get your money's worth. read more

Pam is fantastic and very accommodating. We had a wedding that evening and so many last minute things to do and the bride hadn't scheduled a manicure or hair cut. But Pam not only recommend a great stylist, but she also bumped our appointment up with her as we were running late. Thank you Pam, we really appreciate it. read more

Pam would not do my nails because she said what I wanted (a thicker white line for my pink and whites) would bother her OCD - I've never in my life heard of someone offering a paid service where it wasn't what the customer wanted. She apparently has all the business she needs. Unless you want what Pam wants she will refuse you service. She messaged after saying she didn't think she would have been able to please me. Um she didn't even try read more

The end product was good however the overall experience was not pleasant. I've NEVER been charged extra for having my old gel removed. My nails lasted as long as expected however having a conversation with Pam was like pulling teeth I bought a deal on Deal Chicken as someone who needs to use Deal Chicken to drum up business she was not trying to hard to keep my loyalty. I will not go back to Pam. read more

I texted the business to see if appointments were available for the following day. She said she had one opening, so I purchased a groupon and then confirmed that I would be there at that time. She then texted me and said that I had not dealt honestly with her and accused me of purchasing a groupon AFTER making the appointment; in other words, trying to cheat her. In reality, I had to check for openings because I'm only in town for one day. After I confirmed that a time was available, I purchased the groupon then texted her and told her I would be there at the time she said was available. I am shocked that a business would send such a text, and would recommend that anyone wanting to use a groupon look elsewhere to avoid being accused of dishonesty. She was very unprofessional. read more

What else can I say that hasn't already been said about the lovely Pam? She is FABULOUS! I am a relatively new customer (about 3 months) and I've had fantastic experiences each time. She does the most incredible nail art I've ever seen! I literally text her and say, "Pam, can you do so and so nail art?" and within minutes I get this reply: "Absolutely!" She brings my crazy ideas to life and I receive compliments on my nails DAILY! I would recommend her to anyone who loves gel manicures and especially those nail art junkies like myself! read more

Pam is amazing and that is all that is needed. My nails are perfect every time and I am the pickiest person on the planet! I can find something wrong with everything....but not with my nails. Love love love! read more

I had a fantastic experience with Pam. I had a wonderful shellac manicure and pedicure a couple of days ago and it still looks great today! She sent me home with a bottle of solar oil which I have been faithfully using twice a day. My nails and cuticles already look better. It was really nice to have someone focus just on me and take their time. Her prices are higher (not by much) than your typical crowded (and sometimes dirty) nail salon, but it was worth it. I will definitely be back. read more

Pam is great!! She is an encyclopedia of nail information. My friend & I went on a coupon & are now booking for months ahead...best shellac application in town! Love her!! read more

I used a deal chicken for a gel manicure. My nails look great and are going on 2 weeks looking great. The place was small and could use a clean up but I was overall happy with the price I paid on deal chicken and wouldn't pay more than that. read more

I am way from home for some time and needed to find someone to do my nails. True to the other reviews Pam does a very professional job. Since I am in the area a lot I will go back to see her again! read more

Purchased a Groupon and have tried 3 times to make an appointment. Finally got an appointment time and told her I would like to schedule an appointment for a manicure and that I had a Groupon. She then proceeded to say in a very rude tone "uhhhh, a manicure is not the same thing as a shellac manicure". I asked her what the difference was and instead of educating me she treated me like I was an idiot. I ended up hanging up on her because I could not believe how rude she was and I did not want to give her my business. I could not imagine having to sit there having my nails done by this lady. She called me back and left a voicemail telling me that I should call Groupon and get a refund. She clearly did not care. I cannot believe how unprofessional she is. read more

Pam is awesome at what she does!!!! I get my gel manicures and pedicures from her ...((absolute)) BEST I ever have had..! ((and I'm very picky)) She was kind and greeted me with refreshments and a sweet voice! Even the atmosphere in her salon will let you get the pampering feel we all want.! So glad I found an actual good manicurist that doesn't rush and ruin my nails, but helps them to grow healthier and stronger .! My gel manicures last about 3 weeks, ((and would last longer but my nails grow so fast))!! I love Pam's work.! Go to her!!! Your missing out if you don't.! read more

I bought a deal through Yelp last summer and my experience mirrored that if Pamela's in her review. While I must admit my nails looked great, I have never felt so uncomfortable getting my nails done. I too asked about a shellac pedi (which I had requested when I made the appt.) and she asked like I was putting her out. She insisted it was a waste of money even after I stated I was going on vacation and planned to be very active outdoors. Guess what? Yup chipped nails after 3 days. She also yelled at me and threw my leg down when I involuntarily tensed up while being massaged. Excuse me for having reflexes. She had no clue how to make small talk and made me feel like my very existence was bothering her. I am amazed she can keep regular clients. read more

Pam was fantastic! I am new to town and was looking for a new place to get my nails done. My nails are in such bad shape after time in South America and she has taken some great steps to help me get them back into shape. I highly recommend her for both a maincure and pedicure! read more

I get my Shellac nails and a pedicure from Pam. She spends the time and care for you nails and feet. I had enough of the fast food nail salons. I found her on the internet seeking a Shellac gel nail specialist. She really cares about her clients care of nails and she gives the kind of customer service that I wish more businesses provided. So I will keep her as my nail gal. read more

After following my long time nail tech from salon to salon, I too found Pam on Yelp. I have NEVER experienced such time and perfection in getting a manicure. I am on medication that destroy's the nails, yet Pam patiently attends to them and I always walk out with ten perfect fingers! The selection of polishes and fun adornments surpasses anything I have ever experienced before! If perhaps there is one down side, it's choosing a polish from the hundreds she has to select from. To the other comments, I wear shellac exclusively and in the past have had to pay extra for removal of product when seeing a tech for the first time. I am fortunate to have found Pam and am a customer forever! You get what you pay for ladies, so if you're looking for inferior products, assembly line mani's and pedi's and indifferent tech's, stick to your strip mall salon's . . . Otherwise if you are truly looking for a professional in the industry visit Pam! read more

I was hesitant to try a new nail tech, after several years with the same person. I found Pam on Yelp and she truly does an amazing job. She takes her time, is very thorough and has a HUGE selection of products. She works 7 days a week, is very accommodating with her hours. She is very knowledgeable about nails and products. I am glad I found her and made the switch. You won't be disappointed as she is a perfectionist. read more

I HAVE NEVER IN ALL MY LIFE BEEN TREATED WITH SUCH DISRESPECT. A girl friend and I where running late to an appointment I had schedule with Pam via a voucher I was gifted bought on the living social network. I am terrible with directions (ill be the first to admit) but the reaction that followed was unacceptable. I work so much and never have the opportunity to treat myself to I what i thought would be a pleasurable experience turned out to be a nightmare for not only me, but for the girlfriend I brought along to check it out for herself. This big mean woman hunched over her pasta salad raising her voice about how I was late and why I didn't call or have a phone. Then proceeded to yell and call my friend out about why she had not called while standing and becoming more irate. It was very strange of the woman while we were doing our best to remain calm. Not hesitating to mention that we would be writing about this experience and that we don't have to waste any more of either one of our time. She proceeded to follow us practically to the door of the boutique until she met with another shop owner and loudly starting "gossiping" like a school child. So clearly she didn't have much else going on to turn us away. Not only did she lose my business, but that of my friends as well as everyone we come in contact with when it comes to services like this, or lack there of. Regardless, my boyfriend ended up writing a very strongly worded letter to the company that sold the voucher with a full refund and a promise that that particular voucher will be pulled. Now I come to see this new 50 for 75 or whatever and I remembered that I wanted to warn others about this mad woman. I love the way I'm treated at the corner nail salon on every other street in these parts. At least they have respect for themselves and give good returning customer service at a low cost. *Diva Nails read more

Pam did a wonderful job educating me about my nails. As soon as I entered, she made sure to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. she took time to ask me history about my nails, and educated me on the effects of different products I have used. I had been looking for someone to do Gel nails (builder Gel) on my natural nails, and could not find anyone on my side of town, but I had no luck. I came in and she did exactly what i wanted on my nails. I'm very impressed and I left very pleased. Thank you!!!! read more
