I was lucky enough to get a pedicure appointment the same day I called, which was great because I'm…read moreterrible at planning ahead for self-care things like this. I arrived a little early and was warmly greeted. My nail tech, Melissa, was just finishing with the client at her station and let me know it would be a few minutes, which I fully expected. When I got into the chair, the water temp was perfect, the chair was comfy, and the conversation was pleasant. Melissa did a great job on my feet - I felt so pampered! And, on an upcoming trip to Arizona, I was able to comfortably and confidently wear sandals because my toes were so cute! I will 100% go back to see Melissa again. In fact, knowing I have a go-to tech at a clean, comfortable salon may encourage me to do so more often.

I have gone here on and off over the years when I've been in the area. I recently came back from…read morebeing out of town and got a pedicure here for the first time in a while. It's just okay. As with anything some technicians are better than others. The technician I used to like the best in the past has left. For the most part they seem "bored" and don't try overly hard to do a good job. Also, when you book online the price that is quoted is not the price you get charged. I booked a "deluxe pedicure" and the description online said gel polish was included. I got charged an extra $10.00 for the gel at checkout. Could I have argued? yes, but it wasn't worth arguing over it so I just paid it and left. I always tip them too, even though they're mediocre. I've been there enough that I feel like they'd be more mediocre if I didn't tip. I feel like it used to be nicer here and now it's low average.

Reasons include but are not limited to: different nail shapes on every nail, nail dust underneath the color, missed spots... this time, four girls came in for a 3:30pm appointment and as soon as they walked in my whole appointment was rushed.

I then scheduled my daughter for the next weekend and she LOVED that they were able to do a design she found. (we get told what she chooses can be hard because her hands are small. So she's often disappointed) Not here though! They amazed her! I will definitely go again.

Okay I normally don't do this but I'm doing it. Rant Alert…read more I went to Diamond Nails at 4:40pm, I was seated by 5pm and showed the nail tech a picture of what I wanted. See pic attached. He nodded and got to work. I thought it was odd that he did literally 1 coat of polish and sent me on my way. I got to my car and looked at my nails. They were completely see through, the hot pink polish that was previously on my nails was still on my nails and "coated" over. I also check their Facebook menu pricing, it said "full set with shellac polish, $40.00", I was charge $53.00 +tip. I walked back in and politely asked for a color change as I didn't not like the color provided and you could still see my old polish. They told me to take a seat and a lady came and got me. Instead of just using polish remover she complete shaved down my nails, re buffed them, and painted them the pink I had chosen. She proceeded to charge me $24.00 +tip for a color change. The owner/manager could tell I was not happy about this and handed me a $15.00 gift card, I went to use the gift card to pay for the polish change that should have been free since it wasn't done correctly the first time and the owner/manager proceeded to tell me I couldn't use the gift card until the next time I come. I'm screaming mad but am terrible at confrontation and don't want to "be a Karen". Ladies, learn from my mistake. Do NOT go to Diamond Nails in Waterloo. I have gotten my nails done for years and I have never paid almost $100.00 for a full set with pink polish (no designs). Okay rant over, thanks for listening.
