    I came in as a walk-in. This is my first time visiting the location. I like the ambiance. The gentleman at the front was friendly and very welcoming. As he checked out each customer he asked "how was your service today?" Everyone answered "wonderful & amazing"

    Another nail already to peel off.

    I paid $100 for Gel x 14 days ago and these nails are already popping of. I literally paid $100 for press on nails. Will NEVER come again & I recommend you come here for basic paint job, maybe. -10/10 very dissatisfying

    What I asked for

    Fantastic service!!! Gina and Airy were Fantastic!!! The location is hidden in the strip mall but, once inside, it is amazing at how spacious it is. They will take great care of you for sure!!! Prices are average, depending on what you have done. The nail job last forever ... Treat yourself from time to time .. self care is the best care!!! There's plenty of parking onsite!!!

    Gel mani, reasonably priced and conveniently located in a plaza with easy parking. Did a walk in and they got us in quickly. I would come back! :-)

    The best natural nails I've ever had! The guy who did my nails did a great job. The shop got me in as a walk in almost immediately, price was great too!

    I came in for an 11am appointment for a polish color change on my toes and originally planned to get a full set too. I'm honestly glad I didn't. I walked in right on time and still had to wait around 10-15 minutes to be taken, which already started things off on the wrong foot. During the polish change on my toes, the technician cut my skin way too deep trying to clean up excess polish (I got gel). My toe was stinging immediately and I'm genuinely worried it might get infected. I left with a lot of excess polish around my toes. Despite everything, I still tipped because I understand everyone has off days, but I definitely won't be returning. Not worth the risk.

    I've been coming to this salon for a little over a year now and they never disappoint! My nail girl is now Lynn and she's fabulous. Always does a great nail shape and design and is very accommodating. Kim always has a positive attitude when you enter the building and always answers any questions I have. I'm so happy to have found this place when I moved here. Thank you all!

    Nail polish on my skin

    I went here last month and it was great. Today, however, was awful. The gal who did my nails was in a BAD mood. She jerked my hand around whenever I didn't move it correctly. She scraped my skin with the electric files she argued with me about putting tips on my fingers. Her whole attitude was that I was annoying her! I get home and see polish where it's not supposed to be- on my skin- and globs of glue under my nails. When she did the callous removal on my feet she scraped so far she cut my feet open! Very dissatisfied today

    The best nail place! They always do an amazing job and the service is the best, gel x is my new go to.

    My nails done by Evelyn!! Super festive for the holiday season!!

    I walked into Nail Theory Lounge as a walk-in and was greeted right away. I brought in a few different inspo pictures and wanted to blend them together, and Evelyn absolutely worked her magic. She helped me choose the perfect color, talked through the design with me, and honestly exceeded every expectation I had. I've been to other salons before where I asked for designs and ended up leaving disappointed or even in tears because it wasn't what I wanted. This was the complete opposite experience. Evelyn was so patient and thoughtful--she even tried the original color on one nail, decided it wasn't the right match for my inspiration, took it off, and found something even better. The extra care she took meant so much. My nails came out SO cute and so festive. She never made me feel like I was a bother or an inconvenience. She took her time, paid attention to every detail, and really brought my idea to life. I'm genuinely blown away and so thankful. I will definitely be back--and I'll absolutely be asking for Evelyn every time!

    Back again! This is my go to spot. :) Anna did a great job on my pedicure and dip manicure. Everyone in the shop is friendly and the environment is so peaceful! Highly recommend.

    Missed coverage

    I have never had a worse experience getting a manicure in my life. Not only was it a horrible manicure, but I got cut over and over again. It isn't supposed to be painful. I expressed my concern to the manager halfway through the process and she told me to let the girl finish. She missed coverage on four of the nails, they are so thick and they're gonna lift off right away. Don't take my word for it see the pictures. She slathered on a bunch of cuticle oil to cover up most of my raw skin.

    I'm new to Chandler and my first visit to NTL was around March for a gel manicure. I didn't get the Nail tech's name, but he was awesome and the mani turned out great! I just had my second appointment and I will definitely be a returning customer! This time I had Kim as a nail tech and she was fantastic! I originally planned on an acrylic set but Kim was very knowledgeable and she suggested a gel x manicure. She was very attentive and made me feel really comfortable. I always dread the filing portion of manicures, but Kim was so gentle. Truly it was the best manicure experience I've ever had. I'm so obsessed with how this set turned out and cannot wait to go back! The atmosphere of the nail salon is so relaxing, it's pretty, clean, and it smells so good in there! Every single nail tech in that salon including the receptionists are incredibly nice. I realized this visit that they even have complimentary snacks and drinks for their clients. If you're looking for a nail salon, Nail Theory Lounge is the place to go. If I could give 10 stars I would!

    This review is long overdue!…read more I want to start with Cathy. To my knowledge, she is one of the managers, and I can honestly say she is one of the most professional, hardworking, and hospitable owners I have ever encountered in any industry. I've seen the salon become incredibly busy, and instead of simply managing from the sidelines, Cathy rolls up her sleeves and immediately starts helping with clients to support her team. I've watched her go out of her way to ensure every guest feels welcomed and taken care of, and I've even personally seen her stay after hours cleaning the entire salon herself. That level of leadership, dedication, and pride in her business is rare and deserves recognition. She has also built an amazing team. I actually live much closer to another nail salon, but I made the switch because I found this salon to be far more hygienic, professional, and welcoming. It was one of the best decisions I've made. Two of my favorite nail technicians are Tracey and Richard, who always take great care of me. Richard is incredibly talented and detail-oriented. I appreciate that he takes the time to make sure every detail is perfect, and he's always willing to bring my sometimes silly nail design ideas to life. His patience, creativity, and skill never disappoint. (See the photos of my epic World Cup nails!!!) The designs always turn out better than I imagined, and they're so impressive that even my husband gets excited to see what new design I'll be getting next. Thank you, Richard. I originally found this salon on Yelp right before my wedding, and from the moment I walked through the door, I knew I had found something special. Since then, this has become my go-to salon, and I have never been disappointed. Every visit has been a wonderful experience. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and cares about their clients. I've always been treated exceptionally well here, and I truly look forward to every appointment. If I could give this salon more than 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for outstanding service, talented technicians, a clean environment, and an overall exceptional experience. Thank you to Cathy & her team.

And I say no to not coming back here! The first lady that greeted me started on my nails right away. But then kept jumping back and forth between me and other customers, helping others, leaving me in my chair for over 30mins. She was taking better care of everyone else around me, but me. Then a second lady started to work on my nails and I asked what happened to the other lady and she said, "Why? She busy. You want her!?" That was rude. I said, "Well, I didn't know who you were and no one told me." She continued to work on my hands then left. Then the first lady came back. She then said she didn't know how to do French tip! (SERIOUSLY?!) Then the second lady came back and said she wasn't a fan of my choice: French tip with chrome top. "Ugh. I'm not a fan. Not a fan." I can't believe she said that out loud. She then cut my left thumb. And as soon as I took my hand back and said she hurt me, she immediately started talking to the other worker in a different language. I had a feeling she was talking negatively about me. She then asked if I liked the chrome look she just did. And I said more chrome. She got mad and said, "More?!" You want more?!" I said yes. And they left paint still on my hand. This place was terrible and it left me with a terrible experience. Only one lady was nice and she didn't work on my nails. She work on my daughter's nails and did a fantastic job on hers. So, I do NOT recommend this place.

The pedicure was wonderful, and I was very happy with my feet. Unfortunately, my eyebrow experience was the complete opposite. I specifically asked for a simple eyebrow cleanup, but the technician removed far more hair than she should have. My eyebrows are now noticeably uneven, and a significant portion of my right eyebrow is missing. When I expressed my concern, the technician insisted she had not made a mistake, despite the obvious difference in my eyebrows. I then spoke with the manager, hoping the situation would be taken seriously. Initially, it felt like my concerns were being dismissed. After I removed my glasses so she could get a closer look, I was simply offered a discount for a future visit. I found that response unacceptable given the extent of the mistake. I had an event to attend that same day, and instead of feeling confident, I left feeling embarrassed and upset. While I appreciate the excellent pedicure service, the handling of my eyebrow appointment and the lack of accountability afterward have ensured that I will not be returning. I hope management takes customer concerns more seriously in the future and provides better training and customer service when mistakes occur.

She mentioned there were three options because of my previous yellow color but said whichever I chose would look the same. Based on that, I trusted her recommendation and agreed to the fill in for $75. When she finished, I noticed the back side of my nails was still yellow. When I asked about it, she said there was nothing she could do. I asked if she could paint it red, and she said that would be an additional $20. As a professional, she should have clearly explained this before starting. She could have said, "If you do a fill, the back side will still show yellow. I recommend a new set because if you want the back painted to match, it'll be $20 more, so you might as well go with the new set." That's what honest customer service looks like. Instead, I was left with an upsell after the fact and nails that still show yellow underneath, even after paying $155 total with design and pedicure. The front looks decent, but the lack of transparency was disappointing. It's clear they cared more about money than customer satisfaction. After eight years of consistently great service with my nail tech out of state , this experience in Arizona was frustrating and unprofessional. The manager said next time we will do a full set but I won't be returning and don't recommend this salon to anyone who values integrity, honesty, or attention to detail.
