Katie does such an amazing job on my nails! She literally can do anything you show her. She takes her time and make sure everything looks good to your liking. The staff and owners are so nice and welcoming. The place feels super safe right now with Covid regulations.

FINALLY!!!! After months of SIP my finger and toes got some much needed love! The entire experience at Fantasy Nails was great and felt safe the entire time. The COVID updates they did to the salon are awesome. They dont take away from the experience and fit in with the beautiful aesthetics of the salon. My bestie and I had a great time getting glam and being safe! Bravo to the salon!!

This was my first time at fantasy nails and I was a walk in. I was greeted right away, and I told them I wanted shellac but with no mani. So he told me to pick my color and I did. I waited less than 15 minutes for them to help me, and the waiting area is very nice. It is very well decorated in here! My nail tech was a girl named Kelly, she was very nice and easy going. It was a total of $20 for my gel nails which is a very decent price. However, after about an hour I noticed one of my nails seemed to have smudged a bit before the gel cured so it looked like it was peeling. I called the salon asking if I could go in and get it fixed. They had great customer service, fixed my nail with a great smile, and had me out in less than 20 minutes. I'm not from the Ankeny area, but I will make sure to visit again when I am in town. I am very satisfied! I left with a smile on my face and that has never happened to me out of all nail salons I've tried.

Let's just say this has been the worst nail experience I've ever had. The young lady that did my pedicure used nail polish that would not dry. And when I realized it 3 hours later, my toes looked terrible. I called and they were not accommodating The owner said they were going to close at 3 pm (I left the salon at 12:46) and are not open Sundays. She had to redo my toes twice. They let me walk out with wet nails that did not look right. I had to go get them redone somewhere else. I would not recommend this place at all. Save your money and go to a place that cares about customers not money.

People always rave about getting mani/pedis, but my experiences have never lived up to my expectations...

First let me say I have yet to find a salon here in Ankeny that didn't try to talk me into an up…read morecharge upon arrival- and not once during my time did our tech try to talk me into adding services I wasn't interested in! Thank you! Let's back up; I booked my Appointment online using their website. Pro tip; if you're need multiple services or booking for another person in your party you need to book all separate services. Their website is a little tricky to navigate (acknowledged by the staff, they are working on this) and this was the tip they gave me. Despite the scheduling hiccup they were able to get my daughter and I in for our appointments. Basic pedicures is what we asked for- they were polite and friendly and offered us beverages once we sat down. As mentioned I was not asked to add anything else to my services after telling them what we booked for. This was huge for me, I can't tell you how many salons I've been to in town that have done this- and it's really frustrating to tell them "no" and to keep having them ask. This salon was bright, spacious and clean! We both enjoyed our time, our techs were pretty fast we both were done in 30 min. I really enjoyed our experiences and will continue to come here. You've got a new customer!

Staff was friendly, but gel pedicure lasted less than 8 hours. Went in to have one toe touched up…read moreand they were too busy and told me I could come back the next day. I ended up paying another salon to just redo all the polish.

I dont learn. Went back to get a metallic manicure a few days ago. The 1st metallic manicure came…read moreout awesome a month ago. Made me happy for 3wks. So proud of that. Got many compliments. This time some started to peel within days. I wanted them to last till Halloween so i went back to get that rectified but wanted a jelly pedicure n that was awesome. But when i mentioned the finger nail peels n showed them to her, Annie's face (the owner) changed from :) to :( i told her that im no expert but i think it was incorrect to file the edges after the top coat was applied because top coat seals everything n prevents peeling. Close to the final stage of top of the line pedicure, Annie came up to the chair armed with the nail lamp n stripper. She stripped the affected peeled parts only. Then she applied the dust n applied lamp heat. U can still see the peels under the poor excuse of rectifications. Half ass done to a $60 manicure. I tip very well for my vanity privileges. I also recalled having my nails done at the pedicure chair when i wanted a regular polish. When fingernails are shaped n painted while in a pedicure chair, it doesnt give good results. When u are a service business, u will get unsatisfied customers. Practice giving sincere apologies even if u question in your mind that the customer may have caused the bad nail polish results. Annie doesnt apologize. U see her :) when customers arent troublesome. I guarantee u that no one wants to b troublesome but i paid for top of the line pedicure AND manicure. I expect the BEST. DEFINITELY WONT GO BACK. No loss to her im sure.

My hubby and I had the Jellly pedi's. They were the BEST ones we've ever had. The leg and foot rub…read morewas ahhhmaaazing!!It's a very nice and clean place. Staff are so friendly! We live 2.5 hours away. And it's so worth the drive!
