Got us right in for pedicures during holiday week! Great service, clean and well done.

Great place! All of the technicians really know what they're doing. It is a very friendly, clean and welcoming environment.

Let's just say this... they do not sanitize their equipment. The lady picked at my fingers so bad that I started to bleed from both my middle fingers then she tried to hide it as if I wouldn't notice then took the nail file and tried to file the two bloody fingers!! Health inspector needs to be called immediately!! They were talking mess in Vietnamese I turned on my translator and recorded the whole conversation. They're trash over priced and flat out nasty asf. DONT GO HERE... I'll be speaking w/ a lawyer soon read more

in November, the day before vacation, I went and got my nails done at nail world. They have expanded and I was excited I ended up with two younger people who had inappropriate conversations with them themselves at times. At one time they questioned the nail polish, but decided it was OK. within 24 to 48 hours of my gel manicure and pedicure all had peeled off like a bad. press on. I contacted them immediately, and they did offer to fix it... But we were out of the country by then. they said they would make it right and let me get them done at a later time. After I had them done again, and arguing they did take $25 off my bill that is not OK! I should've deeded a full refund and never gone back, it's too bad, because they put a lot of money into the spa and nail place now, and if they continue to give customer service like that, they will not last. My bill was $141.00!!!!!!! read more

great customer service. the salon was clean and everyone so polite. I highly recommend the salon to everyone. like get pampere.

They DID NOT use clean, sanitized tools. The man that did my pedicure pulled dirty, used tools out of his dirty train case. He also reused a scrubber on my heels that was previously used. $50 for an UNSANITARY regular pedicure is insanely overpriced. read more

I got my nails done with CINDY last night! Absolutely loved the experience I had with her!! My nails are so pretty, and I absolutely love them! This place is definitely worth the price! I got my old nails off, a design and acrylic for a very good deal! Cindy is very kind, and I'm absolutely coming back when my nails need a fill! I also had a broken nail, and she was very gentle and took amazing care of me! I'm never going to another salon! My first experience here was the best I've ever had at any salon here in CR! And trust me I've been to multiple! I actually left VERY happy, everyone here was also VERY kind. I over heard many with other customers, everyone was very nice! Thank you so much Cindy! I hope you see this! read more

Poor shaping, under skilled & over priced. Not a relaxing experience for me. Felt like they just made up prices or proactively added upcharged services to get more $ out of you. Nails lifted within 1 week!!! I was able to easily pop off 4 acrylic nails :( I felt scammed & botched leaving this place :( read more

Sno ALWAYS takes great care of me and today she made my 6 year old feel like a princess for her Daddy/Daughter dance. I love this place and love they make you feel like family! #Customer4Life read more

I went there as a kid and love going they can do great designs on tiny fingers sometimes they get packed and they manage it very well 10/10 would go any time if I have the chance read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! In my 20yrs of living in Iowa City, I had tried quite a few places, but Nail World became my home. Not sure how long I've been coming here, but I know it's been a loooonngg time. The environment is extra friendly, they're clean and the service is outstanding.....they get to know their customers and remember the services you like. I don't wear acrylics, I get the pink gel overlay with no color and my nails always look natural and very pretty.....I get tons of compliments, even when I'm in need of a fill in lol I play around with color on my toes and the paraffin wax leaves my feet soft and smooth. Cindy is MY nail tech, I love her bunches. And YEN is THEE BEST on my feet. This mother daughter combo is AMAZING and keeps me driving to Cedar Rapids on a regular. There are TONS of places I could go to closer to my house, but only the techs at Nail World will I allow to service me :) read more

The most frustrating part of most of these walk in nail places is they don't let you know how long the wait is. Today I waited 45 minutes for my pedicure to begin- so will put in a solid 2 hours in the middle of a Thursday afternoon when it's all said and done. The space is pretty bare bones so nothing fancy. I try to come to this salon in spite of its shortcomings because they are the only ones in the area who use the "cheese slicer" (as I call it) to really get all the callouses smoothed out. read more

Horrible experience. Completely overpriced for quality. I got my nails dipped on a Friday and by the following Friday I had six broken nails along with other lifting ones. Due to a busy weekend I went in Monday to get them fixed. They asked me to come back Tuesday and they would redo. I did... And they charged me. They gave me a small discount but charged me for a full set. I asked for my nails to be short and they would not do it, I will have to go home and file them myself. I will not be going back. I also got a pedicure which started chipping two days after. Huge waste of money. read more

New to CR came here because of the pictures on here. They did not disappoint. Friendly staff. It is a very busy place(lets you know they are great). Thank you. Look forward to coming back. Pictures speak for themselves. Loved my nails. read more

Nail World - Almond shape #07 on stick colors. :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

These people are so rude. They ask you which one done and they give your price that price for a fill was 38.00. then you ask them about their prices for designs price jumps $20.total price$58. I sit down I changed my mind and I just want to color change so you would think that the $20 for my design would be the same price as my color change no it is $48 for a color change. When I stated that the other lady told me that it was $20 this is where they get rude. So as I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between the colors that I chose and I even changed it from what I wanted in a design to just a plain paint for my nails and she insisted that it was $48 but not only did she do that she removed the color off my nail while I was trying to get the other person. I asked her name she only said no. Ok my friend paid for her nails at her seat she asked this woman for change and she took my payment out of the woman's change. If you have never been to nail world I do not suggest you go because they are going to price gouge you for every sense they can. read more

Feel completely ripped off...for 3 very basic and simple designs I was charged $240...my 2 daughters and I got nails done...pictures posted below...each of my kids nails were $75 and mine were $70...nothing fancy was asked of any of the nail techs...I got the pink and white ombre, my one daughter got white flames and my other got a Lil black polish...definitely will not be back...they appearantly think extremely high of their quality of work...my nails were not shaped the way I asked nor the length I asked for and very bubbly...not the nail salon they use to be when they 1st opened and were actually worth the money read more

I've been to several nail salons, and I've had the most inconsistent quality of service by far at this location. I'm unsure as to why I am always passed around between two are three people just to finish a set of acrylics. Not to mention the price difference, I can get a full set here for either 50 dollars or 70. Why the dramatic price jump? Because I CANT tell the difference between the two. I've had my nails break and chip within a freaking day of getting them; and I don't do a lot so I shouldn't even have a problem with them breaking! The Gel polish will peel off, and they will charge me when I come back a few days after to have it fixed. Tired of the inconsistency here and I will not be returning. Get it together guys. read more

I added the pic of my nails with the Converse sneaker nail art! I'm so happy with the work he did! They have competitive prices and he told me ahead of time exactly what it would cost, no surprises. He took off my old set, put on a new set, did the nail art on each ring finger, then put on a clear gel coat for 37.45 with tax. I tipped $5. read more

Nail World - Found on Pinterest and showed it to an artist at Nail World on Edgewood and he recreated it perfectly! - Nail Salons Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I realize it's a Saturday, so it's busy. However people are walking in continuously and not one person is being told how long of a wait there will be. They sat me in a pedicure chair and as my anxiety grew because i could tell I would be there forever, the woman next to me told me she had been sitting there for 40 min with her feet in the water...... so I left. Not sure if you make an appointment if they are better at getting you in? read more

Used to come here every week when I lived in CR. Was in town this last weekend and was charged 60$ for a full set?!? Which it never used to be that expensive, I now get my nails and toes for that price elsewhere. Not to mention this is what my nails look like after less than a week!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!! read more

I've been going here for years. I love the friendliness of the staff. The downfall of this place is the waiting times and they don't do appointments, but they do a fantastic job at a fairly quick pace. Their service is worth the wait! They are usually very busy and get to their customers as fast as they possibly can. read more

The only place I will go! My nails last for weeks without breaking. And they look amazing!

I'd like to give nail world more stars, I really wanted to but after being told I could get a pedicure 'Right away' I sat in the pedicure chair for 20 min. I took my feet out of the water, let them dry & got up to leave nicely, not angry. 3 ladies jumped up to stop me saying they'd get to me. I said No Thanks. The real reason I'm only leaving 1 star is because 3 of the women started to laugh at me & talk in their own language in a nasty way about me to eachother. Not cool when I'm there keeping YOUR business alive. Low class all the way, & the place was filthy gross! read more

Definitely will not be going there again. I was recommended this place but was totally grossed out after the lady got done with my pedicare. She literally turned her gloves inside out to reuse them after she was done with my pedicare. Who knows how many times she reuses the gloves? read more

Trish and everyone are very skilled at what they do. I came here because I was referred by my friend who had been coming here for years. I've been to other places in CR that do terrible fill ins that show the lines, but this place does it well. Pink and whites are my go to, but I've had their pedicures and color gel too. Most of the time, unless your nails are really non oily, color gel doesn't seem to last for 2 weeks, more like 7-10 days unless you put it on top of acrylic or pink fill. This is the case with all salons, but my nail bed is oily and mine stayed on for quite some time. Never had an issue with length or it breaking. Great service, very friendly. I will say though that every once in a while I see a customer who is either a snob or downright rude about the services they want. Regardless of how rude customers have been to any of the staff though, Nail World crew has always been friendly to everyone regardless. This is what makes them stand out. read more

My daughter went in to get acrylics and the next day I ended up having to repaint her nails then the next day they broke because they were really bad and she said that she thinks that they underestimate her because she is a child and she thinks that she overpaid her also when we went to go get her nail fixed they did a terrible job the day they fixed them read more

Awful just a horrible place I travel all over and occasionally I have to get my nails done when I'm not at home. The hotel I was staying at there was a lady who recommended this nail salon. When I got here I read the reviews really quick before I went in and they are accurate! If I could give zero stars I would!!!! I walked in there was three people just sitting there doing nothing and A lot of other customers in there, I asked how long she asked me what I was getting done I told her a fill and a pedicure she told me to sit down I asked her again how long and she told me to just sit down I said no I need to know how long and she's like "you can't wait" and I was like "no I have an appointment" she's like "OK you come back later" I said "no I can't come back later I'll just go somewhere else I just need to know how long it will take" she said OK you go bye! I was like I just need to know how long it'll take. she's like "NO you go bye!" read more

Waited almost 2 hours for pedicure.2 girls walked in after us to get nails done and was worked on before us,I was furious.i have been going to this salon for years and have tipped very well .the last 3 times I went were nightmares,going to find another salon that has more staff . read more

I've been going to this salon since they opened - even before when they were in the mall, because they are close. I usually get pink/white gel nails every 2 weeks and always leave a decent tip. Most of the time they are okay, but my favorite technicians have all moved on, and lately I've had some disappointing experiences - long wait times, rude techs, and have been cut several times with the Dremmel drill when they're in a hurry. Last time I waited 40 minutes past the time they told me to come in, and they still took another lady first. I decided to leave and not go back. I have much better service when I get my nails done out of town. read more

Yen at Nail World is awesome she goes above and beyond! Great customer service!! I can definitely say she is one of my favs.

Filthy. Dirty tools, filmy tubs, just your cheap corner nail place. Employees are rude and impersonal, trying to finish quickly and move to the next customer. The lady filling up the basin tried to sell more expensive options in broken English, and when I told her I want just a regular pedicure, lost any interest and couldn't get done quick enough. Never again read more

I've been a regular customer at Nail World since they opened their doors many years ago. Trish is the only person I will let work on my nails, but I know others are very good for their own specialties. I am not as choosy about my pedicures, but still enjoy the process. My advice for people that truly want a relaxing spa pedicure is to pay $50 or more and go to a local salon/spa. Those pedicures really are more about the "experience" just as much as the actual paint job. I absolutely agree with never going on the weekends. It's very busy! I try to get my nails done over a lunch hour or earlier in the week. I think you will find that staff are felling less pressure to rush at those times and things won't be quite as chaotic. Trish and her staff are very kind to their customers and want to make sure people are happy. They work 6 days a week, 10 hour days, with minimal breaks. They truly appreciate the people that return. I have also been to other local salons and salons around the country when I travel. I am never happy with their service or quality of work. It says a lot about Nail World that they are always so busy and that people keep coming back. In regards to cleanliness, I have been at Nail World on multiple occasions when they are completing their nightly cleaning process. It's thorough! If customers see problems with specific staff not using proper hygiene, it's important to let Trish know or talk to the staff, not just complain about it on a review site. They don't know to fix the problem if no one tells them. I've brought issues up that I see and Trish makes sure they are remedied. I will continue to be a Nail World customer. read more

Worst mani pedi ever!! First of al,l for two nail techs to sit and talk to each other during my whole pedi, then the tech just walked away without even asking/telling me why? The leg massage was worthless and then they used a lukewarm towel. I didn't get a base coat on the pedi or mani, which is a must for me. The polish already (mani) needs redone after less than 48 hours. This place is a rip-off and I will make sure I tell everyone and will never return there myself! read more

I was very disappointed with their service. I went in to get my eye brows waxed and when I got there the lady was on the phone and kept talking on the phone and told me to sit down. I waited for over 15 and she never came back. Finally I just got up and left. read more

Was not impressed at all. First they told me for me and my 4 year old daughter to get pedicures it would cost $20 for me and $10 for her. When I went up to pay it cost me over $50. Then during our pedicure the ladies was highly rude and the one doing mine had cut the side of my foot. I dont plan on going back there. read more

They need more help - they say they will be right with you and then you wait forever. I also do not appreciate they do not speak English- very rude. I wonder when the health dept has been there last??? read more
