Went here for simple dip nails. The gentleman that did them took two hours. Two days later my nails are already chipped and pitted. Would NOT recommend. read more

A very good experience, very good customer service and my nails look really nice! Will definitely go again!

Great spot to get your nails done. I took both my daughters and they fit them right in. Thank you.

I tried Nails by Yen for the first time after seeing their COVID precautions and it did not disappoint! This is the first time I've had my nails done since the pandemic began and I've been hesitant to find somewhere wi can trust. The staff was kind and did a great job on my gel nails. The salon was clean, everyone was masked and gloved, stations had plexiglass dividers and everything was frequently sanitized. Would recommend this salon especially if you are hesitant about precautions! read more

Flew into Tucson for family weekend at U if A and found this incredible nail salon near the Westin La Paloma. From the moment you walk in, this salon is pure bliss - clean, quiet and all of the women were very nice. There are shields in front the chairs and manicure stations and all clients are well spaced. My pedicure and manicure were excellent, great foot massage too! Highly recommend the masque add on for pedicure. Left the salon totally refreshed & ready for a night out! Thank you! read more

The owner Yen is extremely nice. She was able to accommodate me on a busy weekend with little notice as a walk in. It is Fourth of July weekend so you know everyone is trying to get their nails done. The gentleman and Yen greeted me with a friendly smile and sparked up a nice conversation. The environment is calm, clean and has very comfortable chairs. The price is affordable and the quality is excellent. I would recommend giving this nail shop a try! read more

Friendly staff, very clean! We drive about 20 minutes to get there but many others along the way are not a match for Yen!

This place was just OK. They did a really good job on my nails... but they should have considering it took 90 minutes for a fill and pedicure!! I'm used to getting both done in 45, so this felt SOOOO long. If you're in a hurry, don't go there. But if you don't mind a little extra time, you might be just fine! read more

Great service and people here! Got my nails done here for the first time and had a great first impression. Would go again for sure. read more

I gave an excellent review for this nail salon on the 22nd of June,but maybe I was a little too quick to give it. My nails initially appeared to be wonderful but 5 days later the result was not good and I was no longer impressed. There were gaps showing where my nails were, at the sides and at the beginning of the nails they had placed. I paid possibly a little higher price for what I received, than most other salons and find myself extremely dissapointed, so I will not be returning. Obviously the nail technician did not do a good enough job, even though initially on the surface, it all appeared as if it had been done to perfection. read more

The salon was clean and lovely, with very nice massage chairs. The technicians were polite and personable. I had an appointment with a friend but was left to wait while she was being serviced because my technician was finishing a manicure. I felt like she rushed a bit finishing my pedicure, the pale polish wasn't as precise as I've had elsewhere, it's very unforgiving of mistakes because of the high contrast. It was a very pleasant experience however and I would return again in the future. They were all very nice and professional. read more

I highly recommend getting your nails done at Nails by Yen. We made a mistake when scheduling our appointment, but the staff was friendly and accommodating. Our nails turned out great and we will be back again! read more

This is my favorite nail place in Tucson. I have gotten regular and gel manicures and pedicures here. I haven't found anywhere else that does as good of a job for the price. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming. They take their time and never seem rushed. Some of the women do a better massage than others but no one is below average. I always come away feeling relaxed and refreshed. Excited for my next pedicure tomorrow! read more

Love this place! Clean, professional, great service and my favorite part is that they really do honor their appointment times. Made and appointment and took my bridal party here for manicures and pedicures, we were all taken care of on time. read more

Made an appointment over the phone and accidentally went to the wrong place but I ended up wanting to go to where I made my appointment and I'm so glad I did. The service was great and super fast. I love my nails and will definitely go back ! read more

First nail salon was able to find during my visit to Arizona. I was fortunate enough to have the owner of the shop be my technician today. If there is a word better than exceptional then I would use it right now the service was amazing the conversation was great, perfect manners, nice beautifully decorated atmosphere . I was very nervous at first coming from Florida and a new nail salon who isn't familiar with me but when I say she did a damn good job I left really happy and I knew that they deserved a great yelp review I definitely plan on coming back as I am currently in the process of moving out here. Not familiar with any places but I'm very happy I found this nail salon. That's one thing that definitely means a lot to me. Will definitely be my home salon , As I have never felt more comfortable in any other salon! Yen is an amazing talented and very VERY sweet woman Who understands the difference between pickiness and choosing what you like and she will work with whatever you want she takes her time & Games to give you the best results you plan to leave with. Thank you very much for your service today and expect me to come back!!! I am very happy I found you read more

I came here because of the great reviews. Yes, the people were very friendly and the leg massage was great but it stops there. My toes nails were different lengths, cuticles cut so that two toes still hurt, and my big toes nails are way too short. But to top it off when the ped tech finished she walked over to the sink, rinsed the cutting tools ( maybe used soap), and then began working on another client with the same tools - there was no sterilization! I will never go back there. read more

I visited this salon based on other Yelp reviews and I couldn't be happier. I made an appointment with David and when I arrived I was promptly seated. The staff was friendly and greeted me as I entered. I wanted a full set with gel powder in a coffin shape and they turned out perfect!! David was very meticulous and took his time. In fact all the nail techs seemed very relaxed but focused on their clients. Thank you David for taking pride in your work and producing beautiful nails. Without a doubt Nails by Yen is my new nail salon. read more

Nails By Yen - Thanks David for my beautiful nails!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Usually I will not post a review where I cannot give at least three stars, but I will make an exception here. When I called at 9:00, the girl said absolutely not 10:30, but 10:00 would be great. I rushed through breakfast to make it by ten, and they didn't even start on me until almost 10:35. Then, they charge 1.00 to use a debit card, and I could not leave the tip on the card. There are signs posted for cash tips only. Next, I had to ask the man to change the towel that was dirty from the previous customer, then the man said not two words to me, and he made me bleed when he did my cuticles. I don't live around here, so there's little chance I would be back anyway, but if you do come, make sure you check out the prices in advance. The customer before me paid 30.00 for a manicure that I paid 16.00 for because I showed them on their website the price listed. read more

This was my first time coming here and the staff was so friendly. I got a fill and a pedicure and of all of the places that I have been in Tucson this is my favorite! They took time and care on everything to give the best quality service and gave a great foot massage for my pedicure. This will definitely be where I start coming regularly! read more

Got a wonderful pedicure here. They were great and got us in with no wait. Also watched them sanitize everything when we were done. They have plastic screens between the client and technician. I was very impressed with the cleanliness here. And my leg massage was heavenly!! read more

Love this place. My nails always are beautifully done and the prices are great. Also like that I can walk in and not call. My nail technician was also very communicative about what I wanted, very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Will definitely be back. read more

So glad to have a nail place so close to home! Came into the salon last minute before closing and nails by Yen did a great job on my manicure, was everything I asked for! Thank you! I will definitely be returning! read more

I had a last minute request to get tips with gel (a longer service) and they got me in within half an hour. In fact, David came in just to do my nails. He was quick, professional, and very attentive. I will be returning! read more

Nails By Yen - Amazing job on my nails! I'm super picky and they listened to my every request. 5 stars for Nails by Yen! - Nail Salons Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Best manicurist I've used in the last ten years. Yen has a great technique when it comes to gel nail removal. It is a lot more comfortable and more healthy process than soaking your nails in a bowl of acetone. Have never had another tech take the time and effort to use this method. She is fast, meticulous, awesome and affordable! What more could you ask for! read more

The employees were very timely and nice but I was underwhelm with my manicure and pedicure I actually had to make alterations when I got home. My nails were not shaped well and the buffing left them looking rather scratchy, dull and dry. Also they did not indicate on the website the price difference for men's services, which I expect, but would've been nice to have it indicated. However, my sister in law loved her manicure and pedicure. So I think they are just not adapt to servicing men. read more

Both David and Yen were extremely professional and attentive. My dip powder nails look great! read more

I hadn't gone to get my nails done in years and so I found this place based on seeing their consistent 5 star ratings. When I arrived I talked to David about how I have really short (and not very nice looking) nails and that I was worried acrylics might not even be able to make my nails look good. He was very polite and genuine and said that my nails are fine and that he would make them look great. And he definitely did not disappoint! My nails have never looked so good! David was so precise and spent a lot of time perfecting each nail and it really paid off. I'm so happy with my nails and I will definitely be coming back! read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! If I could give them zero stars I would. My daughter went to get acrylic nails for graduation and the quality was absolutely awful, there were areas missing, lumps over the nails, the French manicure lines weren't straight, the list goes on. I called and they said my daughter could go back and have them redone, When my daughter arrived, she was met with a very rude manager who shouted at her and even followed her out of the store shouting. No repair, no refund. read more

This is the fourth time that I've gotten my nails done here and, once again, they've done an awesome job. I've had a different tech each visit, but they are all very friendly and make sure they do a quality job. My mom even makes the drive down from saddlebrook to get her pedi done here! You will not be disappointed! read more

Amazingggg pedicure! I got the basic $30 option and got far more than I expected! The massage was the best I've had with a pedicure. She used multiple servings of lotion, solid pressure and was intentional with her work. I was so relaxed, I didn't notice the back massager on the char had shut off. And you know what? She turned it back on for me!! Super clean, welcoming and comfortable. I will definitely be coming back here whenever I come back to Tucson! Thanks!! read more

Absolutely my favorite nail salon in Tucson. I got my nails done here before an event and my nail tech made sure they were exactly what I wanted. They really take time and focus on what you want. I know some places in Tucson will rush through acrylics but I have been nothing but extremely happy with my nails after going here. read more

I love the atmosphere of this salon--way better than any I have been to in Tucson. It is calming and not manic the way many are. Nice soft jazz playing, soft voices, TVs show fish and wildlife. Staff is polite, friendly and efficient. Their pedicures are meticulously done and last a very long time. Excellent! read more

After leaving our usual salon of 5 years, we stopped by this nail salon to try someplace new. We went early without an appointment, about 9:30am, and they sat us down in chairs and worked on us right away. I would be as bold to say the best pedicure I've ever received, as they placed a lot of detail in making sure my feet were smooth and that I enjoyed my massage. Manicure was also wonderful for the same reasons. The service was great too, and made us feel welcome to their establishment. We will definitely be returning for our next nail appointment! read more

Disclaimer: I am not a demanding person. My threshold of tolerance is really high but this nail salon was really bad. So bad that I created a Yelp account just write this review. My experience: I use to go to another salon which was fully booked for the day so I decided to go to Nails by Yen, attracted by all the good reviews it had on Yelp. Only good thing about the whole experience: the receptionist. She was very pleasant. When I stepped in, I was welcomed and invited to sit right away. Then this blond (or fake blond) Asian skinny girl (who I will call GINA as I don't know her name) comes and asks me which pedicure I want. I select a regular pedicure. No smile, no "thank you", no "please" from her, but that's ok. Her English was very limited and I though that was the reason for her lack of manners. GINA starts with my pedicure, then I point out that I have a bit of nail ingrowth (which she didn't see), and I wanted her to get rid of the ingrowth (as I have done every month for the last 10 years and never had a problem). She then starts digging into my skin so roughly that my nail bed starts bleeding (OUCH!!!). When she realizes it she says, very rudely and bothered, that was the only way to cut the ingrowth. NOT TRUE. I have had my ingrowth (which is really small and superficial) taken care of in every single salon I have been with no problems. I tell GINA to leave it there and move forward. Then she starts applying my nail polish when both I and the client sitting next to me notice that the nails of by big toes looked totally different: one was round and one was squared. I tried to ask her to fix the shape but (she pretended?) she couldn't understand. Then I called what I though was the supervisor, who explains GINA what I needed. GINA looked very aggravated. She then starts pretending to reshape my nail but she really did not. Probably she was making fun of me. The client sitting next to me and I looked at each other incredulous, such that the supervisor asks me whether I wanted her to fix my nail (which I appreciated), but at that point I was so over it (and in pain) that I just wanted to leave. I rush to the register and GINA comes, takes my card, swipes the card, throws the receipt on the table, and leaves without "please", "thank you", one smile, nothing. Even the receptionist was stunned by that rude behavior. To make a long story short: the worst experience in a nail salon of my life. And to make the things worst, today 24 hours after the pedicure, the big toe that she made bleed is swollen and has pus. Got an infection. Please be aware of where you go. The stars on Yelp sometimes are not alway reflecting the quality of the service. read more

I am normally not disappointed with nail salons. I came to this one because I was running errands and this showed good reviews, many people spoke very highly. However, whenever I was attended I thought it was quick, but whenever I chose the way I wanted my nails (square, rounded) I chose rounded and I believe the owner said that's the way "older" women use it. So she didn't change it to rounded even though I specifically wanted it rounded, she also left it way too long for me. Again when I said it was too long she said it's better that way. No ma'am I work in the medical field I cannot have long nails, she still didn't shorten them. Also she rushed to put on the polish because one of her favorite customers came in cause she rushed to her after she finished with me. read more

Like other reviewers, I couldn't get into my regular salon. In desperation, looked on Yelp for ideas. This place had the good reviews, location, and they could get me in within an hour! A very pleasant experience, I must say. Clean, personable, and willing to accommodate. Vivian got rid of my dippy nails( not a fan) and did a careful, beautiful job of new acrylics. She also did a great job of eyebrow waxing. I will be back. read more
