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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Aishan S.

My friend and I were referred here after our appointment at another nearby salon was scheduled for the wrong day. Nails by Yen was very accommodating and had spots for us. The interior was very clean, and we were greeted in a friendly manner. They didn't seem to have as many colour options as I've seen at some other salons, but I immediately was able to find the shade I was looking for. In fact, I had a hard time at other place getting this perfect periwinkle colour, so finding it so quickly here made me happy. Likewise, my friend found multiple options for her shade of pink as well, and was able to settle on one that she really liked. The service was pretty standard. I'm not sure why, but the hand massage was a little painful for my thumb. I wasn't sure if it was because I had an injury or strain that I didn't know about, or if the nail technician was doing something wrong. It wasn't a big deal though. Overall, the results were great definitely a value for the price of $16. I do wish they could add tip on credit cards, but unfortunate, tip is cash only.

This is one of the only two places I let go anywhere NEAR my nails in Tucson. They do a great job and are very gentle. They are also super accomodating for those with physical disabilities, as I have a wheelchair. I also have small hands and they don't act horrible about it at all (trust me - I have been places where they treat me like a child the whole time or like I'm an inconvenience to them). This place is professional and they are all super nice and great to talk to. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

The actual manicure and pedicure results were great. The staff who served us was friendly and very focused on their service. I am not a Chatty Cathy so it was perfect to have them so focused on the services rendered. Would be a five star if I felt better about the sanitariness of the salon - yes they used the tub liners which has become common practice, just not impressed by the items they used - nail file looked used, etc , as well as the layout - it could be that it's time to do a major cleaning; such as tidy up the magazines behind the pedicure chairs, wash station improved. Toss out the changing light color picture. Post services in more visible place. Just minor tweaks will get you the 5 star you deserve. read more

I'm from Phoenix originally and I have a great nail lady back home. I finally decided to look for a salon here and I can honestly say I wouldnt return to this salon if my whole appointment was paid for. When you first walk in the walls are hideous and nobody looks like they want to be there, employee wise. They had me pick a color from a selection of about 30 colors that look old. I asked for 3 different types of red(informed every single one was out) so I settled on a similar red but not one I was sold on. As my nail lady is taking my acrylic and gel off from my previous set, she cut me not once but twice. Only apologizing once I noticed and wiped it with alcohol about 15 minutes later into the appointment. Most of the equipment looked dirty and not sanitized(don't even get me started with the ant problem by the sink) She put huge gobs of acrylic on top of my previous acrylic and a lot of it wasn't smoothed out or shaped. I asked her to reshape one of my nails twice and eventually gave up because she wasn't understanding what was wrong with it. After getting the mediocre red color down, I informed her early into the appointment that I wanted a small heart on one of my fingers. She looked at me shocked and told me how hard that would be?? When it came time for the heart she tried multiple times for a HUGE sideways heart which didn't look right. I tried to show her how she could do it with the tool because I used to do nails as well and still it came out lopsided and awkward. I finally just gave up and told her I didn't one anymore. After all of this, I still tipped about 40% cash because I too work in a job reliant on tips and understand the struggle. I went to pay with my card and their credit card machines were down. They told me to go to cvs and get money from the atm. I did with a $4 charge fee at the atm which only allowed bigger bills. I came back with 20s for a $38 bill and she didnt offer to get me change at all she put it in her pocket and went back to her other person??? I just walked out without saying anything because at this point I was over it. A week after my appointment my cuticles are just now not red, puffy, and sore. Worst. Place. Ever. read more

If you have four hours to spend and if you want ugly nails then that's the place to go! I did SNS on my hands and gel pedi on my feet It took them 45 min just to remove my gel colour in my feet so you can imagine How long it took them The rest.... Very unprofessional work on my hands everything fell apart after an hour and it's not even fake nails. The SNS topcoat took forever to dry And the girl was really mean to me Not recommend to go there! And they charge me why to much money for just a gel pedi and SNS on hands! read more

COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! I was VERY disappointed at the unprofessional way that the timing was handled in this salon. I brought a friend in for a pedicure and had made appointments a week ahead of time. The owner had called the day before to confirm 2 appointments for pedicures for 2:30pm. When my friend and I came in, one tech started working on my pedi, and my friend was not taken care of. I asked that my friend be taken care of first. She had her gel nails removed, and was still not taken for her pedicure. Finally, after 30 minutes, the other tech was through with the person she was working on. My pedicure was done. The point of 2 pedicures is to do them together and relax. This was anything but relaxing. My friend decided not to get her pedicure as I was ready to leave. When we brought this to the attention of the owner it took 10 minutes of talking before she even apologized. She said that running a little late was to be expected. 30 minutes late???!! And then she gave me a 20% off on my next visit. Needless to say, I am extremely reluctant to go back. We never did get an apology from the nail tech who was supposed to take care of my friend but chose to start someone else so close to our time. She just said, "What am I supposed to do?" It is not worth the stress to go to this salon. Very poor customer service. I am really disappointed as I have sent people to the salon in the past and was getting ready to send another one next week. :( read more

BUT! My nail broke the same damn day I got it done! Go back the next morning to get my one nail fixed cuz I'm not walking around with a broken nail when I JUST GOT THEM fucking done! They tell me I need to wait two hrs to get my nail fixed. So when u fuck up & do a poor job, the person needs to wait. That's NOT customer service. I want my fucking tip back! Stupid motherfuckers.

First the salon and the equipment are first rate, and, as far as I could tell, the implements are properly sanitized. But...... My appointment was for a mani/pedi. I arrived on time and led to the pedicure chair next to the sink. I got my pedicure, and, although there were a number of vacant manicure stations, the manicurist gave me my manicure standing between the pedicure chair and the sink. Even though I asked to move to a table and she said OK, she continued working. Finally, I just got up and moved to a table, so she followed. A manicure should be a relaxing, invigorating process. It should not be one where your arm is pulled across your body causing back pain, while you try to balance the bowl of soaking water that she has placed on your stomach. read more

This is a GREAT place to get a pedicure! My friend and I are in town for work and wanted to get pedicures. The hotel we're staying at charges $70 so we thought we'd look elsewhere. We chose Nails By Yen because of the good reviews we saw on Google & the price was only $30. It was only a couple miles away so that's where we went. The ladies were very friendly, they greeted us as soon as we walked in. The best part was the leg massage. It was seriously the longest leg massage I've gotten during a pedicure and I've paid for $70 pedicures before. They also had a lot of lotions to choose from which was nice. I imagine the other services must be good too... Another customer was leaving when we got there and she seemed very satisfied as well.

When he's working on my nails we always talk , the sweetest guy. But when you walk in everyone greets you everyone is just so nice.

The color selection is very slim and the brands offered are not of high quality. The polish is also old and out dated. The salon itself was not the cleanest. There was a bunch of ants near the pedi chair on the day I went in. This salon uses the same tools after each customer and I didn't see them sanitize the tools in between customers. The pricing was very high--30 for a regular pedi and 18 for a regular mani. I wouldn't mind paying more if the salon was clean and they had a good selection of polish available. The mani/pedi itself was just ok. I'm new to this city and I'm sure there are much better places to get your nails done than this place. read more

Fuchsia Spa La Encantada

I really wanted to love our visit to Fuchsia Spa at La Encantada. I actually attended their Yelp…read moreElite grand opening event back in 2019 and remember thinking the spa had so much potential. Unfortunately, our most recent mother-daughter facial day missed the mark in several ways. We each booked a facial with a wellness add-on. I chose red light therapy and my mom chose the leg compression therapy. For the red light therapy, no one removed my makeup, or even asked if I needed to remove it, which immediately felt strange. There was also zero explanation about the treatment itself: no mention of wavelengths, benefits, or why this type of light is used. My mom had a similar experience with her leg compression add-on. The staff repeatedly asked her, "Are you feeling better?" as if she had come in feeling unwell, which made the whole interaction awkward rather than relaxing. Even small moments felt off. In the lounge, we were offered something to drink and asked for tea. The staff handed us cups without saying what kind it was. Not a huge deal, but details like that matter in a spa environment. The one bright spot of the visit was the facial itself. Once I was finally in the hands of my esthetician, I felt taken care of. My Signature Facelift facial ($168) was relaxing, professional, and genuinely enjoyable. My mom, however, said her esthetician kept trying to sell her every product that was used on her, which took away from the experience and made it hard for her to unwind. Overall, the facial services seem strong, but the wellness add-ons and overall hospitality felt unpolished and inconsistent. I hope they can bring back the attention to detail and hospitality they had when they first opened, because the space and potential are definitely there.

The location is very convenient. I signed up for their new guest deal. I requested a facial and…read moresigned up online. I completed all forms before arriving to my appointment. The front desk folks were friendly but not the most helpful. I was supposed to receive a free wellness add on but of the available add ons only 2 were available. Traci was the one who did my facial. She was fantastic. After the facial she recommended different products. I was never provided the free wellness add on. No biggie as the ones I wanted were not available. The front desk folks who checked me out seemed a bit confused about that and couldn't figure out how to add a tip to my card. They just seemed untrained or overwhelmed. Don't think I would sign up for a package and I probably wouldn't return.

Sure that was a few decades ago, but I know what it takes to do it right and I know when people cut corners. This place is top-notch. I still long for the days of salons from the East Coast, where they offer complementary charcuterie boards with champagne and a complimentary 15 minute massage at the end of your appointments. I have never found a salon like that here in Tucson. That being said, this is the closest thing I've ever found to what I'm used to back on the east coast and I am admittedly very picky and very knowledgeable in doing things the right way when receiving nail services. From the moment you walk in, this salon is everything you could ever want in a nail experience. The atmosphere is near spotless, calm, and beautifully welcoming -- you immediately feel relaxed and taken care of. The staff is beyond professional, kind, and genuinely attentive. You never feel rushed, and they truly listen to exactly what you want. They keep the environment relaxing and dedicated to the customers great experience by not yelling and overly conversing with eachother. You are their focus. My manicure and pedicure were absolutely flawless. The attention to detail is unmatched -- every nail perfectly shaped, every cuticle cared for, every polish applied with precision. Zero bubbles - and on the nail where there was one, the technician fixed before I even saw or had to say anything. The pedicure was pure heaven: warm, relaxing, and incredibly thorough. The chairs are comfortable and have extra pillows to ensure total relaxation. I walked out feeling pampered from head to toe. The gloss shine on my nails lasted weeks. Their name says it all! Gloss for weeks! What really sets this place apart is the level of care. They treat you like more than just an appointment -- you feel like a valued guest. Clean tools, high-quality products, beautiful results, and the best customer service you could ask for. If you're looking for a nail salon that checks every box -- cleanliness, talent, professionalism, comfort, and luxury -- this is it. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Truly top-notch in every possible way!

While it's true that they are more expensive than conventional nail salons, there's a reason for that. You'll also need to book pretty far in advance if you are looking for a certain time of day, for example a weekday morning. I'm not someone who gets my nails done on a regular basis, it's kind of just a special occasion type of thing. And also results will vary just depending on the technician you get. I've seen at least three different people there and the end result is always different. Generally though, if you are looking for a place to go that offers options that are better than the super-toxic options, this is a place to check out.

Thankfully, Greentoes had several appointments the next day I arrived in town. I got a call from the salon 10-minutes before my appointment saying my technician was running 45 minutes behind. Almost there already I had to pivot my plans for the morning. They were very nice and offered a 10% discount for the inconvenience. Thankfully, I didn't have anywhere pressing I needed to be that morning. At my appointment, the service was great. I got greeted and seated right away. I got to pick out my color and then the service began. It was a lovely moment to relax for myself. The foot and calf massage was the best. I didn't want her to stop. It was a bit on the pricier side than I usually pay at my normal spot. I usually get a gel polish, but the gel was an add-on to any already high priced service. I just got the regular polish and am a bit disappointed that the polish, only 5 days later, is kind of messed up already. Especially with how much it cost.

I have lived in Tucson for 37 years and have been getting my nails done religiously for about 10 years. I used the same tech for years but was forced to change about a year ago. I have bounced around quite a bit as I wasn't able to find anywhere I loved. A few weeks ago someone mentioned Nails by Yen so I checked out the Yelp reviews yesterday and scheduled an appointment for today. My search is over, I have found a new salon! I was greeted by friendly staff who assisted me right away. Instead of hacking off the horrible acrylics that were on there they took their time soaking them off so that I could keep my real nails. The gentleman who did my nails listened to me and gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for, that is rare. They are the shape, length, thickness and color that I asked for. He was funny, knowledgeable and very friendly. The salon was clean and all of the other techs appeared to be delivering the same amazing service to the clients they were working on as I was receiving. Before I left the owner checked in with me just to see if I was happy. I scheduled my next appointment on the spot. Hands down the best nail salon experience I have ever had, I could not be happier with the finished product. Thank you Nails by Yen! read more

I'm from Tucson but have been living in Baton Rouge, LA for awhile. Was just in town for my brothers wedding for which I was a bridesmaid. We were staying next door at embassy and we set up to all get a mani pedi the day before the wedding. I've been to many nail salons and this one was the best yet. I loved that we were able to make an appointment so that we wouldn't have a wait since a total of 8 people were having both done. EVERYONE was sooooo nice and very professional. They let us bring in a couple bottles of champagne as well. My toes and nails turned out amazing. I've never been anywhere that gave such a good foot and leg massage, usually it's a rushed 3 minute thing, but the spent a good ten minutes on it. The chairs were more comfortable than most. And with the mani they also do a hand and arm massage. They also do their best to take walk ins if they have the time. Altogether, I wish this place was here in Baton Rouge. You can't find service like this here. The price was $60 for both and I got gel nails. I'm writing this 5 days later and my nails and toes are still in perfect condition after taking a beating. Love this place!!! Thanks David!! read more

I had a fantastic pedicure today by Thu (pronounced two). She was so kind and friendly, very easy going and a happy spirit. I enjoyed just hanging out with her. When I apologetically acknowledged that I was the last appointment of the day and she must be tired (salon is open til 7pm), she smiled warmly and said she was happy to be there and just wanted me to be happy with my pedicure. Thu proceeded to give me the best pedicure I've had in years - probably top 3 ever. First - my feet and nails look great - expert and detailed application of polish. Second - holy incredible calf and foot massage - I literally had to put down my magazine and just relax because it felt so incredibly good. Third, I'm a runner. My feet get calloused. Thu checked in with me and then did a super thorough job exfoliating. Altogether such a nice and relaxing time. I will be back and will definitely request Thu! read more

I had been here before, but the service has went downhill. My daughter and I went in to get a full set of coffin shaped nails. My daughter's nail technician kept telling to her to stop moving and complaining that she needed to listen. He got angry because he missed part of her nail and accused her of messing it up. Needless to say, two of her nails cracked off while she was just washing her hair the next day, because he wanted to quickly finish up and get on his iPhone. Also, she has little scabs around her nails. My nails are deformed and none of them are similar in size or shape. When we called complaining, they pretty much said they don't do refunds under any certain terms. We spent $80 plus a tip( because I was taught that's what you do) for two full sets of CRAP!!! I won't be going back under any circumstances!!! read more

I have been a client of Nails by Yen for more than a year. I have a standing appointment every two weeks for gel manicure and/or pedicure and waxing. In the twenty years that I have been using salons in Tucson, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and NYC, the services have been good. However, I've never had such professional, caring, and individualized care that I receive from Nails by Yen. I couldn't be more pleased and it would never occur to me to go elsewhere. I ran two different businesses for 30 years combined. Customer service was always at the forefront. We provided excellent patient care. The greatest compliment I can give them is that they remind me of my wonderful staff. Thanks to all the pros at Nails by Yen. I respect you deeply. read more

Nails by yen is the best nail salon in Tucson. The staff is so kind and nice. Their atmosphere is amazing.

I would like to say that David did my nails and they came out perfect. I had black almond acrylics done and they came out so good! Right I walked in I was greeted and they told me to pick out a color. They have so many colors and you can find anything you want.

Such a great place. This is the third salon I've been to in Tucson, and easily the best. Some shops feel like they just want to get you in and out as quickly as possible, even if it means they don't do as good of a job. But they really take their time with you and make sure everything is perfect. I dropped by without an appointment and had no problem getting right in a chair. Thu gave me an amazing pedicure. The foot massage was so long and amazing- I almost fell asleep lol. The massage chairs are also really nice. And David gave me what is probably the best manicure I've ever had. He got the shape I wanted perfectly, took his time and gave me exactly what I wanted. Everyone was kind and accommodating. I can't wait to go back read more

Being an educated consumer, I did my due diligence in researching to find a nail salon upon my relocation to Tucson before venturing out and nail salon hopping. To my surprise the salon that rose to the top in reviews and TOPs in my experience today is Nails by Yen. David and Thu took care of me and I was sold. Nails by Yen gives you an experience inclusive of ambiance, customer service and services provided. I am a "spa" girl and my mani-pedi salon experience was SPA like. I'm coming from Austin TX a more progressive city but I am pleased to have found a nail salon on my first out of this caliber.

Absolutely the best manicure ever! They didn't have an appointment for the short notice I gave them so the owner David did accommodated me and did them himself. I was reluctant to get acrylic nails because they often look very fake and tacky; however, these look amazing and very natural. David really takes care of his customers he said if I broke a nail they would be happy to fix them. The environment was great as well! The employees all seemed happy and friendly. I didn't feel ignored like I have at previous salons or like they were talking about me in a different language. Overall a fantastic experience!! I wish I could give them 10 stars! Go here you will not regret it!!! read more

This nail salon is easily the best in town. All of the nail techs are amazing! I called the office at 1pm on a Saturday and they managed to squeeze in my two daughters and I for mani pedis at 3:30 the same day. Even though they were very busy, we only had to wait 5 minutes. My daughter accidentally bumped her toes while she was getting her manicure done and they were nice enough to fix it and make them look perfect. We've been to other salons where they could care less about my daughters' nails or won't redo a bumped nail. Plus, everyone was so nice and helpful! I love this place and will definitely be back. read more

I'm a Cosmetologist myself so my standards are pretty high. I was visiting from out of town and came by the recommendation through Yelp. Nails by Yen was clean, professional, relaxing and very particular when it came to my nails. I had broken a nail pretty short and when inquiring about a tip, their recommendation was not to put on a tip as it might compromise my nail further. This was fine as my other nails were pretty short. I liked that they were honest and put the care of my nails first. I would highly recommend them. read more

This is the absolute best nail salon I have ever been to, by far! The staff is fantastically professional and my nails (both hands and feet) were well beyond my expectations. The prices were excellent and much cheaper than one would expect for the quality of service I received! I live an hour away and will gladly make the drive again and again for beautiful nails and great conversation! Shout out to David, the salon manager, for making me fee welcome and giving great advice on my nails! Much appreciated:) read more

Amy and David did an excellent job! They both were attentive! David paid close attention to what I wanted with my, asked questions, and even gave great tips on how to keep my nails healthy! Amy did an amazing job on my pedicure even though the salon was closing soon. Both deserve a raise!:) I'll definitely be back and I recommend them highly. All of the customers seemed very pleased with their nail technicians. This salon isn't even on my side of town, but is worth the drive! Thanks guys! read more

Nails By Yen is a very comfortable first class salon in the foothills. I have followed David since 2002 and have found that he and his employees are professional and deliver quality services; my nails always last and wear well. I get many compliments on them because of their natural look. Another plus for Nails by Yen is the cleanliness of the salon which is very important to me. I highly recommend this salon for their professional service, pleasant atmosphere and affordable prices. read more

This is my first visit to this nail salon. I absolutely loved my service. I was made to feel comfortable immediately and even with all of my questions. Customer service is very important to me and not only did I receive great customer service, I enjoyed the fact that every customer that came in after me were greeted in the same way. My Light Gel nails and pedi look awesome...I want to thank David, Yen and their wonderful staff for such great service. I will be returning!!! read more

I love this place! Everyone is always so kind and funny and very welcoming when my sister and I go to get our nails done. The shop is clean and relaxing. The quality of service is top notch--I have never had a bad fill when going here. The color selections are phenomenal and I think they are decently price. You are paying for high quality without breaking the bank. Schedule an appointment to ensure you get quality time with your technician. They do walk-ins too! read more
