I've been coming here every 2 to 3 weeks for years and I've loved the ladies and the work they do, so I'm sad to be writing this review. Unfortunately, there's been some shady stuff happening recently with their business practices and integrity. The final straw and reason for this review - my sister accidentally sent them $1,000 using Venmo and they refuse to return it. Here's the longer story, for anyone interested. My sister lives in CA and visited a few weeks ago and we got our nails done together. Islands Nails is always very insistent on cash payment or Venmo, which I've never had a problem with. I used to own a business. I understand. So we both paid by Venmo when she was in town. Yesterday, she needed to send $1,000 to someone with a very similar Venmo name as payment for an upcoming trip she's taking. Unfortunately, she sent it to Islandbabe instead. This is the Venmo that Island Nails uses for payments at their business (which can't be marked as transactions, by the way). Both names started with "island" - so although it was of course my sisters mistake, I understand how it happened. She unmediated called and explained the situation and was hung up on. She tried again later and was told they are with customers and hung up on. I went by in person, but they were closed. So we decided to take a deep breath and wait until morning so I could stop by in person. I knew for sure they would return it - they know me by name and obviously knew they'd understand. Meanwhile, my sister requested a stop payment with the bank, which was denied due to the transfer already being completed. She also contacted Venmo, but they said that since she has made a valid payment to Islandbabe in the past, they can't get involved. So I went this morning in person to explain and was certain they would make things right. Unfortunately, I was told it was my sisters mistake, and that they can't refund it without discussing it with the owners. I asked if they could call and I would wait, and they said no they don't call in the morning. So I asked if they would call me in the afternoon once they're able to refund it, and she said I can stop back by and would not take my phone number down. I mentioned it's obviously not a valid payment, and I know they'll refund it for her since it wasn't intended for their business. But was told, "I don't know, it's her mistake" :-( So yes, it's her mistake and she is out $1,000 for her upcoming trip. But I thought for sure they'd have the integrity to send the money back. Instead, they blocked her on Venmo and they are keeping the $1,000. They do a great job with nails at a reasonable pricebut they do run a shady business. If you chose to give them business, make sure you know the price for your service before you begin (even if you've done the same service before), bring cash, and don't expect transparency. I'll be bummed to find a new nail place, but I can't support those practices. read more

One of my favorite salons EVER! Every time I go in the staff is so nice and the work is amazing! Belle, one of the artists, is very talented and does amazing work! The price is pretty good as well! A bit on the pricey side if you were to go often but for the quality and the work it isn't bad at all! Staff is also super friendly and works hard to keep the salon clean and covid free! read more

I needed 4 new nails, my son needed his eyebrows waxed, and my daughter needed eyelash extensions. When I first walked in I noticed a bar, lol I asked if I could have a drink lol. I ended up getting a Margarita, Lol I was instantly in love. The people were amazing, my daughter loved here eyelashes and my son loved his eyebrows. They all did amazing! They gave my daughter a free eyelash cleaner and fixed my nails for free, because I was a new customer and wanted my business. I will definitely come back. I completely recommend this this place. As a matter of fact I will be back with 4 of my sisters so we can have drinks and get a pedicure. Can't wait! read more

My experience here was absolutely terrible!!! After my first visit I concluded that they are rude and do not care about the comfort of their clients. As I arrive I am greeted by someone who was texting and could barely look up so a smile would have been too much to ask for. She then takes me as a client and after she begins to drill I immediately tell her which nail is broken and badly hurts. She stops and decided to soak my dip off instead. Less than 2 minutes have passed that my figures are submerged and she tries to rub it off. A dip client knows it takes at least 10-20m of soaking and they typically will squeeze off the now gooey dip. Well she did not wait and started on that finger first!! She squeezes and twists my finger and I nearly jumped out of my seat because I was not expecting it at all. Claiming she didn't know. I ended up leaving because the manager who took over, could only tell me "it's fine" rather than apologizing. read more

I seen Bella she is AMAZING!!! My nails are so beautiful I cried. I feel extremely feminine and pampered. I wasn't just a number to get through to get to the next customer. I was her complete focus. I'm never going anywhere else! read more

I was not shown all of the options for a pedicure, they only showed me the 3 most expensive ones. I am from out of town and thought that those were the only options, even when I tried to grab the menu she just pointed to the options. When I realized there were other ones i asked to switch because she had only put one packet in the water, and they said no, but discounted me 8 dollars instead of just adding 8 to the $28 pedicure. I appreciate the discount, but seriously? I got regular polish, it is not smooth at all. Honestly wouldn't recommend. read more

They get the job done and are nice. It's not very clean, and my pedicure chair bowl smelled bad which was a bit concerning. I mentioned this at the start of my service but was just ignored. I did get a margarita so there's that. It was my first time, I would only come back if it was my last resort. read more

Really sweet people and really clean application, but make sure you ask for the prices upfront. There was a woman next to me who got a mani with acrylic & tips, gel and matte coat and a pedi with gel. Her total was $65. I got a basic mani/pedi with gel, NO enhancements at all. My total... $85. I flat out was like "HUH?" And as the tech started explaining the prices. Still didn't match up to what I got vs the woman next to me. I left with such a beautiful mani/pedi but a little bitter from feeling like I could have been deceived. read more

This used to be my nail place, when Teri was the owner. It recently changed ownership and I will not be going back. I went a month ago, made an appointment with Teri. Showed up and was then told Teri no longer works there or owns the business. (Probably should of mentioned that when I made the appointment)But Ok not a big deal. So I had someone else. Which was fine, but one lady started my pedicure and then another one finished my pedicure and did my manicure. Which was ok. I had an appointment yesterday for a manicure, was seated right away which was great. However I sat for 10 minutes watching, while the lady which I thought was going to do my nails, proceed to take 2 walk in customers for pedicures, get their water ready and told them to take a seat. Then she made a phone call. Was on the phone for only a few moments. Never said anything to me, until I got up and said I'll come back another time. She then said "someone was on their way for me." What did this mean? I had no clue but was not waiting around to find out. I won't be going back which is too bad as it was within walking distance from my house. read more

Alex and Julie did a terrific job on my French manicure, terrific service! Definitely recommend.

Literally so rude and money hungry!! I've never been to a salon like this.... Literally this lady did my nails in 2 seconds, DIDNT tell me she was done and just started taking the shit off the pedicure station...MY FEET WERE ON THE FOOT REST STILL AND SHE PULLED THE TOWEL FROM UNDER MY FEET. Man fuck this place fr. **i was still sitting because my boyfriend's feet weren't done and there was no one in here so the chair wasn't needed. I've done this at other nail salons and the lady's usually TALK TO ME and tell me what the heck they're doing. read more

Great place to get your nails done. Abby is great with design. East to make appointment.

I made an appointment for 10Am on a Friday and no one is in the building, mind you it is Arizona and hot so I had walked here from a car appointment. So unprofessional even the sign says open but no one is in the building. Horrible service. read more

Love my nails! I've had both Bella and Abby do my acrylic nails, neither of them have ever disappointed. They are never short of fabulous nail art ideas or the ability to execute them! Julia always does my pedi and she's great too, everyone is very nice. read more

Went here for a quick pedicure and it was amazing! They are reasonably priced and the salon is clean. I will definitely be back!

My favorite local nail spot in the Chandler / Gilbert area so far - I've been to about half a dozen. I'm a germ phobe, so much that I only get a polish change on my toes because I'm so paranoid about any infections. Have you SEEN some of those tootsies in some of those chairs? The level of trust you must have to comfortably sit there and assume the area has been thoroughly sterilized... i just don't have it. That being said.... if i were to get a full pedi at a local shop, this would be the place. They are very clean, very organized, and the service is great!! Also, the ambiance and setup is really cute. And they have great polish choices. I typically get the the gel mani and the toe polish change (hahaha). The ONLY reason I can't give full 5 stars, is because I have such a hard time scheduling or securing a time slot. They are sooo busy and really do need to get some more nail technicians. If you can get in, do it! You won't be disappointed. read more

This was the most nasty place I have seen for a nail salon! It was filthy and needs a good deep cleaning as well as an updated look! We walked in and right out! Nasty don't visit this place!!! read more

This place is AMAZING! It is my favorite place to come get my nails/toes done anyways I want! They have a huge variety of nail polish and gelish nail colors including a big selection of 3D glitters!!

The first time I ever had a manicure was during the year I spent in Boca Raton, Florida for college. Though pricey, mani/pedi's became routine. When I moved back to AZ, I was surprised to find out that not all nail salons are created equal. In fact, I've had a very hard time finding one that does a decent job with decent service! Then today I stumbled into Island Nails and Spa, and wow am I glad I did. This place is clean, relaxing, and run very well by the owners. I had a French gel mani by Kim, who runs the place, and not only was it the fastest I've ever had, but the nicest! Then I had the Island Pedi, which is their mid level pedi, and was able to enjoy a glass of wine while getting it! Very friendly staff who take their time to get it right. They've earned a repeat customer! --Victoria read more

I went to this place last year and just Loved it. Went back last week and was soooo disappointed I couldn't understand what happened, then asked what was different and was told it's under new management. we had appointments and I had to wait almost 15 minutes for my technician. She never apologized and it just went down hill after that. She kept getting up to answer phones and walk ins but yet I was done only 5 minutes after my friend was when her tech started on time. No one was friendly there like before. I will Never go back there agin. read more
