    Acrylic gel nails, color 164
    Jessi F.

    Got acrylics for the first time yesterday and was so glad I picked this place. I wanted something natural-looking and not too long and Yen did an excellent job, I love them. She worked quickly and precisely and was very warm and kind. I also got a gel pedi which was well done and included a quick massage. Can't wait to come back! If you want to come here, I recommend calling ahead for an appointment.

    The shop is organized and clean.

    Today was my first visit. I came in with high expectations given all the 5 star reviews. Here is what impressed me: When I arrived, they were on time and ready for me! Nice! I was greeted and welcomed. The salon is clean, they have excellent pedicure loungers and I like that they use plastic bags in the pedicure tubs; very sanitary. My pedicure and manicure were satisfactory. I expected to be amazed based on the reviews. I did have a new person (only there for a month) so maybe that is why it wasn't anything special. I also wished someone would have told me when I made the appointment to make sure I had cash for the tip. I usually pay with a credit card. I plan to try this salon again because I feel there are several positives as outlined. I hope to get someone more experienced.

    Not sure

    By far the worst place we have Been to. Wife asked for some peppermints which the gentleman was very confused so instead of saying he could not do he them he attempted to try it anyway. always very awkward to tell someone you don't like it especially when the language barrier was extremely difficult. We paid $170 for junk work. Our fault for just not leaving but the good people we are we paid and left. Never again. Work to hard for my money to be thrown away in this day in age. Get your work up to your pricing is my best advice or close your doors. Your not a salon at all.

    They did a wonderful job on my acrylic gel nails. The ladies were very friendly and I forgot to schedule a gel acrylic and they were able to squeeze me in their time and do a quick and wonderful job on my nails. Definitely will come again!

    Gel Manicure

    I have been going here on and off for many years but started going more regularly recently. This is by far my favorite place in Tucson. They are so sweet and considerate. I always feel comfortable to express my needs. My expectations are always exceeded. Lately I have been getting dip manicures but I also have gotten gel and acrylic sets as well. No matter what I need I can always count on them for excellent service. Here are some of my most favorite sets done at Nails by Yen!

    I came here for a relaxing experience after 2 years but left in so much pain. The person who gave me a pedicure has no knowledge on cutting nails. He cut my toe nails so short my skin has detached! I can barely walk and have my toes taped so the skin can have support. Everyone's nails are different and they can't all be cut too short. I have really high nail beds, any experienced pedicurist would have seen that! I have never had anyone cut my nails so short without examining and asking. But experience alone is usually enough for a pedicurist to know how to cut nails for those with high nail beds. Due to the language barrier, it was difficult to explain anything. By the time the cutting was done it was too late. My skin detached while I was there and I tried to explain and show but didn't seem like he or anyone truly understood. I don't think I can ever come back unfortunately. I came for some self care and left in so much pain. I can't even put any pressure on my toes this morning.

    Shellac/Gelish

    Was there yesterday for the first time, on a gift certificate. Pedi was great, didn't feel like it was rushed AT ALL! Shellac nails.. average. The person placing my shellac nails seemed frustrated with removing my previous acrylics. He hurt me a couple times in the process. Yen was really sweet! (I believe she's the owner) The location is GREAT, but the salon could use some updating.

    Natural nail after removing acrylics where brown spot was seen
    Celine L.

    I've been coming here since last January or February. Yen is always very nice and professional. The last few times I've come here, the polishing has been very sloppy. Last time I came (two weeks ago), there was a brown spot under my acrylic when she was doing the fill. She used her drill to investigate and told me it was normal and nothing to worry about. I trusted her and went about things as normal. It didn't feel right to me that the nail was brown, so one week later I soaked off my acrylics and found that my nail was decaying and moldy. When I got the acrylics off, the whole chunk of the infected nail came with it. If she would have been truthful and told me that it was mold and I needed to remove the acrylics, I would've returned after my nail was healed... that is not the case. I won't be coming here again.
