Mani pedi looked good when I left. Four days later the gel polish fell off there of my toes and I had them redone. Two days later another gel polish fell off. Now my artificial nails are lifting and snagging on my hair. Terrible process or product. read more

Update: WORST nails ever!! I had a couple of fills that were actually pretty good but when I had a full set put on, they were thick and gross looking; not natural looking at all!!! They had to have been at least 1/8" think. I've been filing on them for over a month and they still look like crap. I DO NOT recommend this place after all!! read more

Vinny and wife Lani (?) usually do my manicures. Can't recall who does my pedicures, since it's been awhile since my last one. Mom's favorite pedicurist, Jimmy, retired, so we are both looking for a favorite to replace him. Come on a Tuesday if you're looking for a quieter day and your pick of technicians. Otherwise, call and book a reservation! P.S. Inquire about their loyalty cards to reach up free basic spa manicures and pedicures. read more

What service! They don't cut corners here, extremely friendly, what a great detailed pedicure! I haven't had this great of a pedicure since I lived in Carmel, California. Don't pass this place up. It's kind of hidden in the corner and it's a hidden gem. Thank you Jenifer for the wonderful work. I will be back! read more

This has become my new spot. Every time we've made appointments for pedicures our chairs have been ready when entering. Staff are kind, take good care of my nails, and make it a fun experience. The Tv is always playing a movie and the shop is clean. Its been a great experience every time and we can't wait to return. read more

I love this place. The staff are all so nice and if you want a pedicure, you need to ask for jimmie. He is the best, takes his time and is thorough. read more

The fumes are very heavy here, wearing a mask on top of it made it hard. more ventilation is needed.. Turn that fan on high. The nail glue or Acetone smell very high. Dark Dingy place. Very high price for a place that could use a lot of clean up and updating. The girl who did my pedicure was good. Paid $52 dollars for what is usually a $30 deluxe pedicure that last more than 58 minutes. I walked in and basically stood there and waited for direction, they did say hello, but that's it. For that price I will avoid in the future.. read more

It pains me to leave a negative review as I've enjoyed my pedicures here for years. However I can't ignore the pain throbbing in my left eye after a wax. I'm not sure if the wax was too hot or if she left it on too long but OUCH! It stung instantly when she rubbed the lotion on and I yelped (no pun intended). Not only did I leave sore but there were still several hairs she missed and I plucked at home and she didn't trim them, leaving me to do that as well. Maybe waxing isn't her thing but I now am left with a scanned up eye that still hurts and looked ridiculous in public. SO DISAPPOINTED and MAD! This was the worst experience I've ever had and I won't be trusting them again. read more

I came to this salon for a dip manicure. A good dip manicure for me usually lasts between 3-4 weeks. I will have grow out, but the actual manicure will still look great and not chip or wear away. The dip product this salon uses is a cheap product and looked really bad after just four days. The tips of my nails were bare because the dip color had worn off and on the corner of one nail the polish had chipped. They charge the standard $40 for the dip polish and that did not include a true manicure with cuticle care, lotion, oil, and hand massage. There are better salons in the area for dip manicures. read more

Small family owned, family run business. Everyone is friendly and even though English is their second language, they still speak it well. And they actually talk to YOU instead of talking to each other the whole time. They do a fantastic job with my nails (well, maybe not one of the younger guys), and their prices are competitive. And they always act thankful for their tips. I'm sure, as a small business they took quite a hit with closing for COVID-19. So if you're looking for a nice nail salon, with friendly staff, quality work and great prices AND want to support our local small business, definitely call and schedule an appointment today! Oh, and their closed on Sunday. I love that! read more

I found this place two years ago, fell in love, and have never been anywhere else for my manicures (well, I might have cheated once or twice, but quickly learned to regret it!) I originally had my nails done by Kenny for about a year before he left the salon. Since then I have seen every one of the other nail techs that works there and have never had a bad manicure. All of them do a great job, are super friendly, and Nicole always remembers everyone's name. I was shocked the first time I came in and she greeted me by name - I hadn't even remembered telling her what my name was! One thing they do that few other salons do is something called gel sets. It's like acrylic only they use gel, and top it off with gel schellac polish. This is not the same as just gel polish! It's durable like acrylic, only much gentler on your nails (just a light buffing), and lasts much, much longer. I am very hard on my nails and they always last until it's time for the next fill. Even longer, as sometimes I've had to go 3-4 weeks between fills and they are still going strong (grown out, of course, but not lifted or chipped!) And they also have a huge selection of gel polish colors. The gel sets are a little pricy, but in my opinion they are worth every penny. I think in general their prices are a tad higher than competing salons, but it is absolutely worth it for the great quality of manicures you get. read more

Best manicure I've ever had! Kevin was very professional and patient when I couldn't decide what color I wanted. Everyone in the salon is friendly, and I didn't feel like an intruder or like I was interrupting like I do in some places I've had my nails done. The quality of the manicure and the time Kevin took to ensure there were no missed details like stray polish or missed edges. HUGE variety of colors and quality brands: Color Club, ORLY, OPI, and Essie to name a few! I am going to recommend this place to my mom who loves a good pedicure. I know she will love it! :) read more

I stopped by after work at 6:30 tonight badly needing a full set, The young gentleman took the time to lightly file them and soaked off the gel nails which I had as a new set just a week ago at another salon in the vicinity. (They were chipped and one already popped off). He was pleasant and cheerful....knowing I had been given grace I was quiet and was expecting maybe some kind of displeasure knowing they were staying late......That wasn't the case at all.....in fact when he was done removing them, then Lani stepped in to apply the new set! She was pleasant, smiling, and did the Best Set of nails I've had in a such a long time!! I never told her anything except I liked them square...OMG THEY WERE DONE BEAUTIFUL AND STYLISH!! When she was done I told her I was so happy and I would tell all my friends about them!! She Lani) and (Vini) were above and beyond professional, pleasant and most of all seemed grateful for my business. Treated me like I was an old friend!! A NEW LOYAL CUSTOMER!! You won't be disappointed here, I've tried everyone in this surrounding area for over a year and now I've found my PERFECT NAIL SALON HERE!!! read more

I have a family member that comes here every couple weeks. I decided to give it a try one morning. Walked in, they were booked all day and asked me to come back tomorrow. It says "walk-ins welcome" on door.. so I guess they turn away business since they're so busy. I'm so disappointed. I might give them another try. Being booked usually is a good sign. I'm just A bit turned off from it now. read more

Great place and they do amazing work! Was able to fit me in and were quick and professional.

I am extremely disappointed. I called yesterday to schedule an appointment. I spoke with Lani who I've been going to for the past years. I always make sure that they understand what I need done before getting off the phone. I've had issues with setting up an appointment over the phone. Today I was supposed to get 2 nails fixed, a fill and a pedicure. I got off work an hour from work today so I can get my nails done. I was told by Vinny that Lani only had me set up to get my 2 nails fixed and a pedi. This was my last straw, I would never ever go back nor refer this place to anyone anymore. They couldn't even accommodate my needs. There was a miscommunication on their part. Lani rushed through my pedicure and it was the most horrible pedi I've ever gotten. NORTH read more

I LOVE this place!!! They are always so attentive and do am amazing job. Their quality of work never fails to amaze me. I've been to many other nail salons previously; however, my nails always last the longest when I come here. They never break and look good even after 3 weeks. They never rush through an appointment or take too long, it's always just didn't. I am always satisfied with the customer and the service I get. I have been a customer for over 3 years now. Would highly recommend! read more

I was in yesterday with a friend of mine. We were both wanting full sets with a design. We called for appointments and when we arrived I was sat down immediately with a nail tech while my friend waiting in a seat next to me for about 20 minutes because they were very busy. If they couldn't take us at the scheduled time, they shouldn't have said they have availability in the first place. It was very unprofessional and my friend ended up working with two different nail techs. She was extremely upset as the first nail tech said they could do the design she wanted, but the second one they switched her to clearly did not and did it anyway. I wanted a simple full set with one polish. The polish is uneven and my nails are look uneven. The tech didn't speak to me the entire time, only asked what color I wanted and what length. We will not be coming back here again and will not be recommending anyone. Very disappointed. read more

I dropped in to this salon hoping to find a local nail place I like. I was not impressed by the cleanliness and decor. The front desk was weirdly located and I didn't feel welcomed. What really made me leave this salon one star is the horrible movie choice. No one goes to the nail salon to watch quality cinema but this was so distracting. It was a raunchy, cheap film that I would be embarrassed to admit I had semi-seen it, even in the background of my mani/pedi. I walked out after trying to read on my phone for 10 minutes with stupid sex jokes in the background. I doubt I would have been serviced soon anyway. read more

i came in for my appointment and had to wait 45 minutes while 2 workers just sat around watching the movie playing on the wall. then while i was getting my nails done i asked for them long and she cut them shorter then i asked, then proceeded to tell me they were "long enough" . my nails look botched and not anything i asked for. the color was pretty and the movie was funny. but my nails are all different sizes and shapes. read more

Have you ever left a nail place $50 poorer and looking worse than when you came in? I did. The design was beautiful, but I came in with dry scaled feet from this dry a Arizona heat and left with even dryer cracked feet. I paid the extra for the deluxe pedicure. I told them my feet were dry as all get out and was told "no problem. We'll fix it." Like I said, I loved loved loved my design, but the rest was bs. I'm sad that I wasted my money. I will not be back, and I will not recommend. read more

The pros: clean space, friendly service, the foot and leg massage was nice. The cons: the shaping and polish application was pretty sloppy. Took it off when I got home and did a better job applying it myself. read more

The first woman that did my toes was rude and she picked out the wrong color nail polish than the one I originally showed her, then she blamed me for her mistake and told me that I had told her a different color earlier. She was clearly annoyed that she had to take off the nail polish and re-do them and was not being very gentle. (My poor toes stung so bad!) The second girl I had was much more friendly and did an amazing job on my manicure, her name was Christina and I highly recommend her! Overall I am happy with the way my nails turned out and if it wasn't for the first girl being rude and not being able to put the tip on my debit card I would have gladly given a 5 star review. read more

Wow!!! Amazing. Vinnie was so great! They are a very little shop in the corner. It was so busy w regulars on a sat so maybe weekdays would be a little less. But even being busy, each person took their time. No one looked rushed. You could see everyone being perfectionists. Everyone walked out happy. My new spot for sure!

My mom went here today after being referred by her friends. Kevin was one of the rudest nail techs she had ever come in contact with. My mom has had acrylics for years- when she went into the salon Kevin mentioned that it would be the same price if he removed them and placed a new set on. Well once he took them off he began doing just a basic gel manicure- which is not what she wanted. When she corrected him, he got really short with her and said "you said you had gel, we don't do powder here." Well sir, you obviously took her acrylics off- so no she didn't have gel. He then decides to tell her that she shouldn't do acrylics anymore and instead do gel. Maybe he was having a bad day- but his attitude was definitely inappropriate and unprofessional. read more

Nice job on a regular manicure but gave 4 stars as they charged $15 instead of the average $10-12 most other nail salons charge. Not a very long massage. No wait, I was able to wall right in on my lunch break. Manicure took about 30 min or so. read more

So after 2 horrible experiences at 2 other Mesa nail salons, I was about to give up, especially because they both had great Yelp reviews. But I decided to give this place a shot.. I made an appt the day before for a full set & pedi. The appt was in the system when I arrived(unlike another place I attempted). They sat me down right away and immediately started my pedicure. They asked if the water temp was Ok, which it was, and offered to start the massage chair. Peter worked on my pedi, and Vinnie was fun to talk to next me. Peter did a fantastic job..focused, didn't waste time and very polite. Vinnie did a great job on the woman next to me, too! Peter gave me a hot stone massage which was Incredible!! Apparently, it's standard there--what?!! Kevin worked on my full set. I hate getting pedis and full sets on the same day, but Kevin was quick, meticulous and did an outstanding job! If you've ever had a full set, you know it can hurt--I didn't feel anything the entire time. The arm massage was great, AND since I'd never been, he said he would fix my full set if it didn't last 2 weeks--which I've had nails pop off at other places after 1 week because they're so rushed & backed up...So, it was refreshing that he believed in his work and was confident that I would be happy. I've also experienced being turned away because nail places were "too busy" but this salon had more than 2 people working and not only accepted walk-ins, but actually helped them immediately as well. The employees are positive, helpful and cheerful. Try it!!! read more

I've been here before and my grandma goes regularly, they do a very nice job every time and they last a long time. They make sure you're comfortable and usually have a movie playing so there's something to do. Very nice people working here and there are so many nail colors to pick from! read more

I got a regular polish manicure done by Lani and they look beautiful and at a decent price. Will be back to try a pedicure next time. Why does the price of a regular pedicure have to cost so much more than a regular manicure? Seems weird. The main thing that bothers me is places always try to convince me to get gel. If I wanted gel I'd ask for it. Everyone knows it lasts longer. It also costs 20$ more.... read more

I visited Nail Works and Spa today for my second time as a walk-in visit. I was greeted instantly and I requested a pedicure and an eyebrow wax. (Fun fact: I haven't so much as touched my eyebrows in about a year.) I was directed to pick a color and someone would be right with me. (On my previous visit, Van had given me a pedicure, and she had done such a wonderful job I quickly glanced around the room, but didn't notice her.) I think the man who soon called me over to a chair was named Kenny? Vinny? He also did a wonderful job! The foot bath water was the perfect temperature. And he made sure to turn on the massage chair when I forgot. He was very thorough with my foot massage, which was a gift. I never know how long I'm going to be at a pedicure place, but the time spent in that chair (I think 35 mins or so?) was worth every moment! They even had a good movie on tv. Only downside is it almost made me cry like 4 times while I was receiving my lovely foot treatment. After Vinny finished, another employee took me back to the room to have my eyebrows waxed. No sooner had she taken a look at them did she ask, "Lip wax, too?" Haha, I hadn't considered it but undeniably "needed it," so I said yes, please. She listened to my request to clean up my brows and leave them "as thick as possible without looking so rough." She did an excellent job. It didn't even hurt too much when she pulled the 7 pieces of paper off my face. (I feel like 7 was just enough without being too many, which is why I mention it.) 5 stars. I'll totally be back. Plus they gave me a punch card for subsequent visits! Oh, and bring cash to pay if you remember. read more

Wow is all I can say. I just left and had the best pedi I've ever had. At almost 60 I've been fortunate enough to have hundreds of pedis at many different places.

His foot massage was incredible, he was SUPER nice AND he talked to me the whole time!!!! I really can't say enough of how the whole experience was amazing.
