She obviously can't take criticism, and will resort to harassment if she doesn't agree with your review. I have talked to other Yelpers who have had the same experience. This is completely unacceptable from ANY business owner or person. If I didn't like this place before, I absolutely HATE it now. Save your money for one of the MUCH better and much more professional nail salons in Des Moines. This place is a joke. Yeah, I gave this place another shot and I just can't do it. The first time I came, the woman doing my nails seemed really peeved and annoyed. She was very aggressive with how she did my nails, and when she waxed my eyebrows (which are naturally thick) she kept pointing out how thick they were. I told her that's how I liked them, and would just like a little clean up. Instead she made them INCREDIBLY thin, and not to mention uneven. I've never had such a bad eyebrow wax in my life! I also got a pedicure the first time I went in. The manager (I think that's who he was) sat down and started talking to me. At first I thought this was just a nice gesture. Ended up being him telling me my husband (who is a pilot) probably cheats on me, and I on him (I'm a flight attendant). Uhhh... Thanks? Even though completely inappropriate, I've just moved to the area and hoped I just had a bad first experience, so I decided to come back for a fill.. Bad idea. The manager was actually nice this time and kept his inappropriate comments to himself, so I felt a little bit better coming back. But I did have the same nail lady. Even more rude, even more aggressive, and even more nasty than the first time. I asked her if I could look at the gel colors. She threw the basket at me then started telling me to pick from the selection she had at her desk... Um, can't you just get up and grab the color I actually want? I don't recommend coming here at all. I am a very loyal customer when I receive good service, but I think this was my last time here.

I came in with my mother to get a prevacation manicure and full set. I had made the appointment a…read morecouple weeks prior and when I came in it was obvious that they had not been actually prepared for my appointment. Mom and I were advised to wait, which we did - about 15 minutes for her and then 20-25 minutes for me. My mom had come in with her own nail polish color but the manicurist seemed to not want to use it and so she talked my mom into getting shellac. Mom picked a color, which apparently they did not have. Instead of telling her this they decided to combine two of the nail polishes to create something "similar". Mom wasn't very happy with it, but because she didnt want to ruin my experience didnt make a big deal of it at the time. The shellac was done poorly, and within a couple days was chipping and then by the end of the week it just peeled completely off. She would have been better off with the OPI nail polish she brought in. We could not go back to get it fixed as we were already out of town for vacation. I got a full set done and I'll be honest I really liked how they looked. I came in with a couple of different pictures which i showed to them and after a bit of repeated explaining they came out looking like how I hoped. Unfortunately the polish started chipping off them as well, within a couple of days. It is also worth stating that even though they had a check in offer for 10% off any service, I was told that they "didnt do yelp" and was treated to quite the story about them having yelp mark them as closed as retaliation for something or other. They ended up giving me the 10% off, but I'll be honest it wasn't worth the hassle that it caused. I may come back if I want a very detailed design, as they seem to do a lot of them and well. I don't think I'll come back if I want just want regular nails done though as they seem to not last long and they are pricey. ------- Follow up after the business owners response to the original review (that is before the line) below: 1) This is not a hospital - it's a nail salon. I don't expect to wait 20+ minutes for an appointment I booked 2 weeks ahead of time. 2) I go to a manicurist to get a manicure done, not to buy nail polish. It does not effect your bottom line to use my nail polish. In fact it helps you because you aren't using up your product. 3) It has not been a couple of months since my appointment. My appointment was Wednesday December 8th and I returned home on December 18th from my vacation. Then there was Christmas and the New Years holidays. I do not need to post reviews immediately for them to be valid. 4) You didn't take it off Yelp at the time of my appointment. That is why I knew of it's existence obviously. I do acknowledge that not everything revolves around me, however I am the customer, who is dissatisfied with the service I received. Instead of attacking and mocking me, send me a message privately on this platform like a good business owner and take your pride out of the equation. I do not use Facebook, so I will not be contacting you there. I have downgraded my review from 3 stars to 1. Do not go here.

The owner was walking around chatting it up with everyone. My base application for my nail was good, the color I picked out looks like what I got. I wish I'd picked a little darker. I asked for almond shape like the picture and I did end up having to fix it a little bit afterwards. The pic I have here is right after I left the salon. The nail tech was struggling with the design though. I think it had more to do with the consistency of the gel polish than her skills because the heart came out great. She tried multiple gold glitter polishes and communicated to me about what was wrong and what I wanted. Looking back, I probably should've just done white like the heart. The end result was the line is too thick and some of the edges are smeared. In the pic you can kind of tell on the thumb there. I think that's just the unfortunate result of too much product under a uv lamp. It'll just move and melt in places you don't want it to be. It's been two weeks now and my nails are all still intact. Might try a few other places before I commit to this spot~
