Overpriced the the quality you receive. I've gone here on and off and the prices they charge don't match up with the quality. Additionally I feel like they just make up prices while you're checking out. I got my nails done in the photo and they charged me an extra $20 for a design fee.. I could understand a $10 charge maybe but $20 seems excessive when you take into account that they only applied one layer of color coat and the edges of my nails were not painted. The gal I had was incredibly nice but the prices just are not worth it for me. read more

I came here for a basic manicure and was assisted almost immediately. The establishment is massive in case you're wondering. They're able to assist at least 20 people for manis and pedis simultaneously. They also have cute chairs for the kiddos too. I asked if I could upgrade my manicure to a deluxe which they don't do but the guy offered sugar scrub to my service for an additional $10. My manicurist did an excellent job but the nail polish used didn't cure/ set nicely. I don't know why. Nonetheless, she took her time and insured I was well taken care of. A couple cons: I don't like all of the talking. From customers it's fine but amongst the staff need to be minimal. For me, I am a person that likes the silence so I can watch the tv or read my book etc. It isn't a moment of "girl time" for me. Aht aht cut that out. Another con is the fact I paid using cash and was still charged the tax. Often times, nail salons will remove the tax and offer to take a bigger tip. Not DQ Nails - so I wasn't a fan of that. One more thing - I don't appreciate or like when establishments don't offer a service but find a way to accommodate the client and then charge an additional price. For example, adding a scrub to my manicure shouldn't have been an additional $10.00 knowing that the manicure itself is $20.00. That's $30.00 for a "deluxe" manicure. Not sure - I'm don't believe I'd return here unless I didn't have any other options. read more

Visited DQ Nail bar for the first time on Saturday and I wish I would have come sooner. It appears recently remodeled and is gorgeous inside. Upon entering I was greet right away and there was a minimal wait of less than 5 mins for a walk-in for a mani pedi. I did a regular Mani and the gel pedicure. The jelly pedicure is an experience that I highly recommend as it was so refreshing and marks one of my top pedicures. It's well worth the added cost. My only feedback is I wish signs were posted with pricing so I could verify everything. Overall the experience was great and I will be back for regular services. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Asked for almond and asked her to make them rounded. She painted my nails but didn't round them and made them super pointy. I asked her to go back and make them rounded and she made them way worse and complained that I didn't ask her to do it earlier even though I did. All my nails were crooked and I left with acrylic all over the sides of my nails. I went back and asked them to redo them but they told me they couldn't take off the nails and completely re do them so I asked for my money back. Definitely won't be returning. read more

The nail techs here aim to please. After going regularly to get my nails done, always to the same gal, she has me figured out, knows my preferred length and colors. Many speak English quite clearly so there's little confusion. Very clean place as well! read more

The girl who did my pedicure cut my toe nails so short it hurt. She was really nice and it LOOKED good. It just hurt for at least a week afterwards. I also got gel on my nails. It lasted as expected. It's decently priced. All in all I've had worse experiences but I had high hopes. read more

i came in to get my toes done, they got me in fast with a reservation. I came in and they got to me fast. But the nail lady never put enough paint on my toes to not be able to see through. after i told and pointed to me toe. She never rubbed my feet and put a SCORCHING HOT towel on my legs that made then burn. Honestly the place is very nice inside but sadly i was not happy about my services today! read more

Rushed, rude, hurt like hell and after 24 hours they changed to this horrible color (peep the photos). read more

I've been going to this place for so long, and keep thinking I should give them a review! Here it is- I like to try new places, but an often disappointed. Each time a place has not lived up to standard expectations, I go to DQ Nails knowing that they will always deliver a great service, be professional, and be respectful of time/appointments. This place is amazing at their efficiency and customer service! Update- About a week 1/2 ago, I went with a friend whom made a reservation at 4:00. We didn't get our nails started until 5:00. They seemed to be extra busy, and the front desk appeared to struggle with how to manage reservations and walk-ins. This is the first time I've experienced this here, so I would go back. read more

I had been recommended this salon by friends who all had great things to say about it. I got a gel manicure and was extremely disappointed. As other reviews stated it was painful and they tore up my skin in the polish removing process. So much of the new color ended up on my skin, which I feel like should be an obvious issue. I was not happy with my manicure and will not be returning. read more

I've been here twice and the first time they cut my fingers several times and I was only getting a standard manicure. Second time I didn't even get seated. I get it's busy at times and they're trying to make their money but when you walk in they will tell you it'll be a 20 minute wait for you to get 2 pedicures done. But they'll seat 2 single women before you and a group of 3 women before you even though those women walked in after you. They won't apologize for this and will ask you to wait 20 more minutes, total waste of time. Hectic and unclean atmosphere. read more

You should never have to go home immediately after getting your nails done & fix them yourself. Depending on who you get, they will go extremely fast & do a sloppy job. Today was my last day going there. I suggest going somewhere else!! read more

I normally love this place but this past time was horrible. The lady cut almost all my fingers very badly. I don't mind nicks every once and a while but seriously my fingers are so cut up and bloody I need bandaids on them all. She was very rude and didn't even apologize or anything. My nails looks nice but my hands are in so much pain!! This has never happened to me before read more

DQ Nail Bar - she cut me on every single finger :/ - Nail Salons Near Me - Bettendorf, Iowa

I love this place! I started coming here about 6 months ago after a friend recommend it. I go every 3 weeks. Katie is who I always ask for, she does a great dip powder manicure. I can usually always get in the same day with her, I always call and make an appointment first. Their prices seem reasonable in comparison to others in the QC area. Another thing that I love is that once I sit down Katie doesn't leave the table to work on someone else's nails (this is why I left my old nail salon, I don't love to wait while you work on someone else's nails). Anyways, super clean, fast, and everyone is nice! read more

I had some time in the day and decided on a whim to get my nails done. I walked in and was greeted quickly. Vivian did my nails and she was SO nice, very quick (but not sloppy or anything) and did exactly what. I asked usually when I get my nails done, which is not often, I'm really self conscious because I bite my nails and when I get acrylic, I like them pretty short. I've gotten made fun of techs a LOT because of this, but Vivian never made me feel weird. She was super nice. Definitely recommend read more

I honestly don't recommend this place. I have been here many times and the past two times I had an appointment and had a three hour wait. That's ridiculous and they overcharged me as well. I recommended going to a place that actually cares. read more

It's taken me a long time to even decide to post this, most the reviews I leave are positive ones. But every time I think about this situation... it makes me angry. So I feel like I need to post this 1. So others can avoid this place & 2. SO THE BUSINESS ITSELF LEARNS A LESSON ON HOW TO TREAT CUSTOMERS. The last week of July 2017 I went into DQ nail bar & asked for a set of pink and white ombré nails. Quinn (i believe his name was) confidently assured me he could preform the job. Even after showing him a picture of exactly what i wanted. As he got closer to being finished i started to question him - because what was being done looked NOTHING like ombré! After being cut with nail drill several times he kept telling me to just wait and see until he was completely finished that it would look like the picture i had shown him. The first picture i have posted here, was the end result of Quinn's work. I was literally speechless, my eyes teared up & he knew i was not happy. Without any apology or even offering to discount or even completely remove the nails. HE CHARGED ME FULL PRICE WITH NO APOLOGIES. Didn't even care what his work looked like, acted as if i was the one inconveniencing him and gave me attitude. I paid full price about 60 bucks - even gave a tip and left immediately. After googling and asking around for the following 45 mins. I frantically took myself over to Nails De Vie where STEVEN giggled at the nail job in disbelief but quickly started the removal and put on a PROPER ombré set. Which is the second picture i have uploaded here! So in total of less than 6hrs i ended up spending over 100 dollars to get a proper set of ombré nails thanks to QUINN AT DQ NAIL BAR. This whole experience was unnecessary had Quinn only told me he couldn't preform the service. Don't lie to people! Since this incident i refuse to go anywhere else for any nail service except for Nails De Vie! The place is clean the staff is very friendly and cares about the quality of their work and isn't just trying to shuffle as many clients in and out as they can. read more

The employees were not attentive or friendly. The towel they used looked like it had been used all day and had other people's dead skin on it. Gross! I was there for two hours for a basic mani pedi with no polish, just clear coat. My pedicure was terrible, the skin on the bottom of my feet is all torn now, which I have never had a problem with. On top of all of this it cost me $50! How? read more

Very friendly service. Upon arrive you're offered a beverage. They offer nail service, feet, waxing and more. I had a fill in with design and my eye brows waxed and certainly couldn't be happier. It appeared there were a lot of regular customs, the staff knew them by name. They welcome walk ins, as I had and was provided services within a few minutes. I plan to make this my regular nail and eye brow spot! read more

First time at DQ Nail Bar was great. There was a short wait - my daughter and I were walk-ins on Friday before a holiday weekend, but it was worth it. My mani/pedi with Anna was relaxing and my nails look great!! read more

absolute worst service. i made an appointment for 2, a fill and a full set for 1:30. after 45 minutes passed by i assume the owner sees my group is getting anxious and sits us at a booth. there we sit for an additional 15 minutes without being greeted. a quick drive to Jas nails and they got us in within 5 minutes.. this place is horrible read more

I had a an appointment with 3 friends for 12pm and the first person didn't get their nails started till 12:30, not to mention that we didn't leave till 2pm. One of my friends nail tech just got up and left while she was getting her nails done. All of my nails are lumpy and very uneven, and so are all my friends. We are all very upset. I have come to DQ for every fill/ set of acrylics and they have never done me this bad. Overall, they were over booked and didn't have enough employees to keep up with clientele, in the end they choose quantity over quality. read more

To start with something positive; i will say this place always appears very clean compared to other salons in the area. I have always enjoyed going to this salon, until my experience last week. When you spend 70$ on a manicure/pedicure, you want what you paid for. My pedicure was sub-par, it was nothing special. The manicure I received was nothing short of horrible. I explained that, while I know my natural nails are short, I wanted to add some length to them without using acrylic. I hate the look of thick fake nails. They explained that sure, this would not be a problem. During my full price manicure, my cuticles were not cleaned up at all. They look like shit considering I had not had a manicure for a long time. The woman began using what appeared to be acrylic, when I asked if that's what she was using she just kept assuring me they would not be "too thick". On top of that, they used gel polish and charged me for that despite repeatedly saying that I did not need gel nails since they ended up using the acrylic. Clearly, they just wanted to charge me more money by using the gel polish. Now, 1 week out, 1 nail is cracked and another is completely broken off. For 75$, they should last at least 2 weeks. You can't even tell I got a pedicure a week ago. Overall I'm very disappointed and will not return. There are other places to spend my money. read more

Great mani pedi today with all COVID proceedures in place. Would recommend. Friendly and helpful team.

Nice ambiance and beautiful building, pedicure was sub par and don't recall even getting any sort of massage, pedicure was rushed, nice place to go as a group but won't be returning want that impressed read more

I went here after my friend spoke highly of it. With having an appointment I was greeted at the door immediately, offered a drink, and assured I could receive manicure and pedicure services. Upon getting my nails done the technician next to me was EXTREMELY rude to her customer, yelling at her and mocking her for being indecisive on the color she wanted for her college graduation. Personally, my technician cut me 5 time with her aggressive, saw like filing technique, which has left me with 5 small cuts that are as agonizing as paper cuts. I let it go as I'm only 21 and reluctant to tell people how they should perform their job. Once my manicure was complete I moved to get a pedicure where they began doing only color. When I clarified that I asked for a full pedicure the man felt the need to clarify it was $30 as though assuming I wouldn't be able to afford it. THIS really put me over the edge, as I do not flaunt my money, but also do not deserve to be looked down upon for my age, especially when I come in polite and well groomed. After this, they made me switch chairs to a completely separate back room, and continued to give me easily the worst pedicure and paint job I've EVER received. The manicure and pedicure was below average for what I payed, and the service was beyond unpleasant as well as unwarranted. The only reason I give it two stars over one is because the salon itself was very beautiful, lofty, and clean. I HIGHLY recommend you don't seek services here. read more

This was the most unprofessional experience I have ever had before I even went I had called and made an appointment. When I asked him I made sure that I wouldn't be rushed during my visit I even said do you have appointments available today if not that's fine . The guy said yeah it was fine so I went and when I got there I asked them what kind of pedicures do they offer and the guy in the front desk was like we don't really have time for that what kind of pedicure were you wanting? Why would you let your staff book an appointment that you guys do not have time for and then rush the customer because you want to get out of there before it closes that is very rude I would have rather waited and not been rushed then been rushed. Not to mention when I pointed out how rude it was he just walk away no apology at all. So after that I just left I felt bad because the lady who was going to do my feet was really nice but after the interaction with him I was just mad and wanted to go. He was rude . They need to put someone else up there if you can handle scheduling appointments. read more

The place was pretty , I give them that but thats as far as it goes. I got the cat eye on my natural long nails and the first girl doing them did not know what she was doing so the owner (girl) came over and finished them up. They never put a top coat on and the finished product looked horrible with bubbles and uneven coat on the nails. I go every 3-4 week to AJ Nails normally but my friend and I went there because we didnt need an appointment. First and last time. I even took the time to call and no one picked up when I asked to speak with the owner and then I emailed them with no response. Seems they have bit off more then they can chew in the nail industry. Their employees have little or none knowledge of customer service or how to do what other places know how to do. WILL NOT BE BACK!!! read more

We were asked MULTIPLE times what we wanted done. My technician made me bleed at least four times. We were also here for over an hour for two dip manicures. Probably will not go back... read more

i'm not sure why this place doesn't have a better star rating! okay so my friend and i walked into my normal place (TNails) looking for both of us to get full sets and pedicures, it was like 3:45 and they told us no because they were too busy. no big deal we just randomly decided to try dq since neither one of us has been before. we noticed the parking lot was pretty full but tried our luck anyway. the moment we walked in we were so politely greeted, and sat down to pedicure bowls, which had the plastic liners and i really liked that! then we were offered a free drink, and able to pick out our colors in the chairs which was nice. my nails honestly looks so awesome. a different lady did my nails and one did my toes and both are so nice. it was like $20 cheaper than my other place i go to, and my nails look so much i really can't wait to go back!!!!! UPDATE: i just went back for a fill and my nails look even better than the first time! read more

I went to get a mani/pedi to treat myself and relax after a very stressful event yesterday. Unfortunately, my experience was anything but enjoyable. While sitting in the pedicure chair, the woman who takes shellac off started working on my fingernails. After filing the tops of the nails, she prepared to wrap them in acetone soaked cotton. She knocked the container of acetone on me and it spilled on my clothes, on my arm, and all over my bracelets. She tried to blot it up and continue. No apology, nothing. I am a chronic migraine sufferer and the fumes were making me nauseous so I asked her to stop and take it away. Apparently she doesn't understand English and continued to try and do my nails. The young man that works at the desk walked by and I told him what happened, he explained to her to stop. Again, no apology. After a bit the person who appeared to be in charge asked if I was ready to continue. When I expressed my disappointment he said, "I'm sorry, accidents happen, we do the best that we can." Finally an apology, but not really meant. I explained how the fumes made me feel sick, the acetone made my arm burn, my pants got wet, and my bracelets were probably ruined. He didn't care, offered a 15% discount on my nail services and said that was "the best he could do." How pathetic. I understand accidents happen but when they do, the person at fault should make things right. It wasn't even about the money, it was about how they treated me as a customer. Oh, and by the way, I was told I'm no longer welcome there! read more

I went for a dip manicure with tips... After I was asked several times what I wanted, the tips were on and she started to shape them. I looked at the 1st hand when they were done and they weren't shaped anything like I asked. So after already being in the chair for 1 1/2 hours I told her I didn't have time to start over, she was going to let me leave with only glued on tips!!!! She was extremely rude the time I was in her chair. read more

i went there a few weeks ago and left upset. i do my own acrylics from home to save money and it's just something i really enjoy doing. i went there to get a pedicure to treat myself. once the nail tech noticed my nails already done, she asked to see them. she asked where i got them done and i told her i do them from home. she proceeded to look at her co-worker and laugh in my face. throughout the whole appointment i could feel weird tension and they kept looking at my hands and talking. will not be going back if i'm going to be judged for my hobby. read more
