I've been going to Desert Nail Spa for over a year now and I can't recommend them enough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Jennifer and April are absolutely amazing. They are so kind, welcoming, and always make the experience so enjoyable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I genuinely look forward to my appointments because I always have such a great time there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They consistently do an incredible job on both my pedicures and manicures. Everything always comes out perfect. If you're looking for a place that's not only talented but also has great energy and service, this is it read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Terrible customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mediocre quality. Do not recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They talk to each other all through your service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I keep trying since it is close to where I live but the last time I went, I had a $75 pedicure. During the massage (which is usually one of my favorite parts of a spa- style pedicure service), the girl was talking to girl next to her and was using one of her hands to express herself while talking and the other hand half heartedly massage my leg. When I mentioned that this was usually part of the service I enjoyed and would appreciate if she would stop talking and pay attention to what she was doing, she and the lady just started talking and laughing at what I said. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will drive miles further to go somewhere where the provider respects me, my time and my money.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Such a lack of respect and professionalism. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm extremely disappointed with my recent visit to this nail salon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Despite showing multiple inspiration pictures, my nails were not done correctly the first time, leading to an additional 2 hours added to the appointment. I repeatedly requested a cuticle cleanup, but it was never done, even after being promised it would be addressed post-acrylic application. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It wasn't until I spoke with the front desk that I was switched to a new technician.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I paid $80 for a service that lacked both quality and professionalism. To add to the frustration, there was an additional $15 charge after I had already paid and tipped. The total came out to $95 plus a $15 tip. I will not be returning to this salon, nor will I recommend it to others. The lack of attention to detail and the extended time it took to correct the initial mistakes were unacceptable. First two pictures are my hands and previous work I got at a different salon, 3rd picture is what was being left with before they could fix them. alot shorter, shape did not correlate, there was acrylic that slipped onto my cuticle sides that wasnt cleaned up due to being rushed. read more

I have been a loyal client of this salon since 2015 and frequently recommend it to guests in the area. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be returning or recommending it moving forward. I scheduled an appointment for my cousin and myself, as she was getting engaged the following day. I called ahead to confirm and specifically mentioned that this was a special occasion, asking that we be paired with a skilled technician. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At check-in, the staff congratulated my cousin on her engagement--something she was not yet aware of, which was disappointing given the context I had shared.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My cousin requested a simple, classic full set gel manicure ($80): short length, oval shape, and "Funny Bunny" white. Despite this, the technician repeatedly pushed her toward a pink or French tip style. The technician was shown a reference photo, which clearly reflected a slightly longer (midi) length, yet proceeded to cut the tips down excessively short. The application itself was rushed and uneven, with acrylic overlapping onto the skin. Due to the length being taken far shorter than requested, the technician suggested a French tip simply to create the illusion of length. Additionally, her cuticles were left dry and peeling from the process. For an $80 full set, it was surprising to learn that cuticle care was not included. We raised our concerns, and the front desk arranged for a second technician to redo the service. The second technician was professional and delivered the result my cousin originally requested. However, the process took approximately 2.5 hours to complete one full set due to correcting the initial work. At checkout, despite the inconvenience, I paid in full and tipped both technicians. I was then informed of an additional $15 charge for a cuticle cleanup that was added because my cousin pointed out that her cuticles had not been addressed during the initial service. Charging extra to correct an oversight was both surprising and disappointing. This salon was once a trusted, local favorite. Unfortunately, the level of care, attention to detail, and customer service has declined significantly. It now feels more transactional than client-focused. I would not recommend this salon based on my recent experience. read more

Excellent job and always consistent! [[HIGHLIGHT]]April has been doing my nails for a few months now and can't say enough.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is friendly, place is clean and my man is and pedis turns out great! Thank you! read more

I cannot say enough nice things about this place. Everyone is helpful and happy! And their expertise shows. Maggie, James, Karen, Wendy, Ella, Tracy- all of them are attentive and they care about cleanliness, safety and customer comfort - in a world of self absorbed people, these guys have set themselves apart from the pack. Do yourself a favor and support this small business. They work hard for your business. It's always a pleasure walking in there. read more

Desert Nail Spa - Little snowflake - just a hint of Christmas! Linny at Desert Nail spa! - Nail Salons Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I'm shocked desert nails spa off greenway doesn't have 5 stars. I've been going here for over five years and received consistent service and end product. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is always packed and if you have a preferred technician, it's best to book in advance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You see the same familiar faces at the front and they are very professional. Since I primarily come for my nails (gel polish changes hard gel for acrylics), what matters most to me in a Nail Salon is the attention to detail and wait times. The filing is always even. The polish is never on cuticles. The polish is smoothly applied, and it lasts. I never have to wait more than five minutes, 10 minutes max. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As a busy mom they get me in and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Another salon in town had me wait an hour and it took 50% longer than at this nail spa. It solidified my loyalty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you have any issues with your nails no need to go on Yelp just call them and they will fix it which I've only had to do once or twice in five years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ask for Ella!! Ella is by far my favorite and best nail tech.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She takes her time and makes your nails look perfect every single time!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]She's so sweet and always makes sure you leave with a smile.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The cuticles and gel was so poorly applied. Zero attention to detail. Sorry, won't be back.

The front desk is very helpful and very nice every time I go in. Appointments are easy to make online and they have tons of colors and services to choose from. I have gotten gel pedicures, hard gel manicures, and dip manicures and they all turn out great! They have great attention to detail. I love the atmosphere, it is very clean and well decorated. read more

Been here three times because it's conveniently located close to my home and every experience has been the same: Got my nails done less than a week ago.. shaved them so far down at the cuticles they looked grown out same day of service. Over half of the rhinestones have fallen off, one nail fully fell off after 3 days and the other broke 2 days later. Butchered my pedicure and cut my toenails so short I couldn't even comfortably wear open toed sandals. Charged $130 for the service PLUS separate tips for both services. This is the last time I waste my time and money for nails that last 3-5 days. read more

Pretty bad liquid gel application. She cured a black spot on one of my nails and then cured gel over the sides of the nail and the cuticle in spots. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't see Ana.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My first time. The receptionist who made me appointment was very sweet! This is definitely a pricier nail salon then others I have been to. I had a gel manicure with a design and pedicure for $95. When I went home I didn't feel the design looked as good as I wanted and is slightly off centered . They didn't have a gold which she told me but I didn't realize how much that would change the look of the design. I do appreciate the time she put into my manicure design. I wish my pedicure massage portion and hot stone was a little longer- that felt a little rushed. Maybe I won't come on a Saturday when they are so busy. But I will say they are very efficient here! They were packed yet could seat everybody very fast- definitely make an appointment! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I sadly rated this nail place a 2-star because of the experience I received when I went.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Normally when I go into nail salons, I want to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. I unfortunately could not do that here. It's a big nail salon so there's going to be noise which is understandable, but [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was greeted by a worker there trying to sell me her handmade jewelry, which is something I wouldn't expect, I was left feeling uncomfortable because I said no.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the bright side, the staff is truly nice, and I always appreciate that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish I could rate this more, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone trying to get their nails done and relax. read more

I used to love going here. This place was great and they always did fantastic but I moved to CA and came back to visit and went here but I was very disappointed!! The place was remodeled and looks beautiful but the pedicure is over priced for nothing! I got water a scrub with a pumice stone and my toes painted with oil rubbed on my legs. That's it! I added a fill to my fingernails and my total was $78! I was in shock! My toe nails are crooked and have polish on my skin and my nails look thick and messy! I have added pics! I am never going back here again and will never recommend this place to anyone anymore!! The girl next to me was complaining the whole time and disappointed as well! Here's my advice, go somewhere else where they actually give you a real pedicure and cut your cuticles and file your toe nails and truly give you what you pay for! I felt super rushed! I was in and out of there in 45 minutes! Coming from CA where everything is expensive I couldn't believe how much they charge here for absolutely nothing! read more

I went back to this salon after 5 years to have my nails done; originally I stopped going there because they ruined my nails by filling them so thin using all the harsh electrical drills to remove the polish, speeding up their work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I give them 3 star because they accepted me as a walk in last week, and the nail tech was very nice![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But it's either the nails polish, the amount of coats they apply ( which is less than my regular place) or that my nails were again filled so thin than within days two of my nails broke and few nails gel color started fading away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called them and mentioned it and they asked me to go back to have it fixed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went back and even did not ask for full set manicure, but the lady who I believe was the manager insisted that it was my fault that two of nails were broken and did not take into the fact that even if let's say I intentionally broke my nails, how could she justify the fact that few of gel polish were already fading![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't want to ruin my Friday and I just told her what she can do at that point which she said she can have a text reapply coat to the ones fading and glue the broken nails. The tech lady who put time to fix it was very nice and did her best to fix them, but today after even one day the gel is fading and pealing off again. Will I go back, I won't! Will I recommend it, if u want to give it a try urself sure! The staff r very nice but I feel the management is not so great! Update: my nails r ruined and r so fragile/thin! A read more

I had such a lovely experience at Desert Nail Spa on my birthday while on vacation in Scottsdale! Vi did a fantastic job on my mani-pedi. I love the vibe at the salon - it's the biggest salon i've seen in a while, and everyone is so nice and accommodating. I can't complain - everyone wished me a happy birthday when I arrived, too! :) read more

I got a gel mani ($38 before tip) with Tracy in the color Dulce De Leche. Tracy was amazing, she was so so nice and really efficient but also super delicate and detail oriented. The color was brand new too so super fresh and everything felt really nice and clean. Also, I came in as a walk-in on a busy Saturday afternoon and they still got me in right away! Tracy got the exact shape I wanted and was just amazing. I'm always hesitant to get my nails done because some salons and artists make them too thin or get the shape weird or nick me in the process or take forever but not here, everything was perfect and I'm so so happy and will 100% be back to book with Tracy. read more

I have been to Desert Nail Spa multiple times without issue; however, I received a Mani/Pedi on Thursday, January 12th at 4:30pm. The following morning my toe was tender to the touch and uncomfortable with puss and minimal redness. By the afternoon I could not put weight on my foot and went to urgent care to care for the infection seeing I was going out of town for my bachelorette party that weekend. Again, I have gone multiple times prior (maybe 5 or 6 times) with no issues - that's why I am rating 3 stars BUT this was an inconvenience seeing that I had to seek treatment and treat while away for a special weekend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]for the first time ever, i didn't tip and i always tip $20[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. i regret not walking out because i still had to pay $74 for the worse nails i have ever received in my life!!! read more

If I could give zero stars I would! Even though I read many bad reviews I still chose to come here for a pedicure because of how close it is to my house. I regret it greatly! The quality was terrible. My foot was being hurt the whole entire time with the tools she was using on my nails. As it turns out that was a big sign as I now have nail infections. The person who did my pedicure was very rude any anytime I would say something to her often there would be no response back. My nails were still wet when she made me get up to leave to go pay not using a fan or anything to help dry them. I would advise anyone looking to get their nails done here to go elsewhere! read more

Desert Nail Spa - (GM) Gel Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This is a very popular place. I have been helped by several professional technicians. Previously I used to only drop in. All the technicians are proficient and provide solid service. They are great for all types of services from buffing for the people who can't wear polish, to nail art for the trendy fashionistas. I am super picky and was disappointed by one tech. I was able to avoid them by asking the team at the front desk to annotate my account to help prevent me from being served again by them. I started with acrylic then moved on to dip before going back to my natural nails. Last month I tried gel nails and I'm really satisfied! I've started making appointments to ensure I can get in when needed. read more

STAY AWAY! They will ruin your nails!!! Everyone is very nice, but my nails have looked better. They do a sloppy job, have you leaving with gel sloppy on your skin, etc. I even paid $5 to have them do my cuticles (they penny pick, so expect to pay an extra $5 for anything and everything). This is the second time I have been here, and I won't be coming back. The first time, my gel nails chipped on the second day. They usually last 2-3 weeks for me. I never posted this review because I try and avoid negative reviews, but after my tips fell off and my entire nails are extremely damaged, I wanted to warn everyone to stay away. My nails are so damaged that it's been weeks and they're still hurting and growing out from the deep drill job she did in my natural nails, and they were in such a healthy condition before going in here. Horrible! read more

I initially loved this place because of the quality of their work, but over time, I noticed that the employees are *extremely loud*. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At times, it feels like they're yelling at each other across the room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They often laugh and whisper among themselves throughout the entire service, which can be distracting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was even a moment when my nail technician shouted across the room to talk to someone else.

I just left this nail salon and I was very underwhelmed. I wanted an olive color and they didn't have it (okay not a huge deal). I picked another color but my nail lady was just so short and rushed. I feel she rushed through my fill and didn't even talk to me other than about the color a little bit. When she went to brush off the acrylic powder and didn't even put the brush on my nail! She like brushed my skin on my finger. I just went along with it because she seemed like she had an attitude and I didn't want to piss her off. You can see my gel is bumpy because her sloppy work. She even burned my finger to the point that I had to snatch my whole hand back and she didn't even apologize! The manager/ owner in the front seemed nice but I hate complaining at nail places because they always just send you back to the same person who messed you up in the first place. I will have to get these fix and spend more money on them; my nail shapes are all different and some are bubbly, just not cute. Needless to say I won't be coming back here. I really wanted i like this place but no. :( read more
