Milky white dip nails

Amazing experience! 2 different people (a man and a woman) worked on my dip nails and they did a great job! I asked for "milky white" nails and they knew just the color to use to get the look I was going for. They made sure to ask me multiple times if I was happy with the shape and color and offered to fix small things when I asked. They even told me to come back in for a fix if needed! Overall it was a great experience. The employees were all very nice and chatted with me. The facility is very cute and clean.

I love Nikki Nails!!! I had my mani done at the Lincoln way location and my pedi done at the north Ames location Today!! They were both spectacular! Nikki and Randy are both such great, hard working people and it shows.

Gel manicure

I had such a great experience! Everyone was very welcoming, helpful and friendly. I got a regular gel manicure, and the man who did my nails was so nice to me and took his time and was very careful. He even massaged my hands which hasn't happened to me in a while at other salons. I forgot to ask his name, but will always ask for him when I return :) Even though they were really busy because of everyone wanting nails for spring break, they still took the time to chat with everyone. Would recommend!

Holiday/ Winter nails!! I always have a fantastic experience at Nikki Nails on Lincoln Way in Ames!!! Loved how these turned out!

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Going to be coming back! Everyone was so nice and they did an amazing job and made sure every detail was perfect. My new nail place 10000%.

One of the best manicures I've had in a long time. Lots of color options. Nikki did great on my nails. My nails are perfect for my best friends wedding now!

I didn't know that they did take walk-ins but she still let me in! We talked for a while when she was doing my nails and it was a good vibe all around. I got acrylic tips with dip and it was good price but I gave her a tip so it was more. I will be back!

Perfect new full set!  Thank u!!!

Sure it's cute on the inside but I wasn't happy with my pedicure or the PRICE! Oh my god! My pedicure didn't even last two weeks.

gel polish started coming off less than a week after I got it. Literally the worst gel polish I've ever gotten.

I'm so, so low maintenance about my hair it's honestly sort of embarrassing. So much so that I…read moredidn't think anyone could screw my hair up, but alas. I went to a girl named Hayley (Haleigh? Hayleigh? I'm not sure how it's spelled) at the north Ames location. I just wanted my hair trimmed and a lightened -- balayage, highlights, whatever -- I didn't really care. I always trust my stylist to do what makes the most sense. That's it. Trim the dead ends and make my hair blonder. She seemed confident so I totally trusted her. First, she left me sitting with bleach in my hair for 40 minutes while she LEFT to go eat her dinner. She came back, took my to the sink to shampoo/rinse and put a toner in my hair. She left me there for another 55 minutes (super uncomfortable sitting with your head in a sink for 55 minutes lol) while she left to GO TO THE CAFE ACROSS THE STREET. What? She went to go buy cheesecake with her coworkers. She came back, ate her cheesecake, then came back to me. She washed my hair, blow dried it, and it was awful. My hair was grey and purple. Then she trimmed it, and screwed up the trimming around my face so much I ended up looking like I had a mullet. A grey and purple mullet. Yes. Anywho, I was polite about it but said I was unhappy and surprised by the result. She offered to try and fix it the next day and I declined and just asked to not be charged. They declined my request, and charged me almost twice the amount it said I'd be charged on their website ($113 on their website, and they charged $197). I went to Leedz Salon the next day and they fixed it. They're wizards. Please just go to Leedz instead and stay far away from this place.

Hair was cut at least four inches shorter than reference picture shown and agreed upon amount with…read morestylist. I showed the picture below to my stylist and we discussed "'mid chest length" I know it's just hair and will grow back but I am so disappointed and sad with the length of my hair.
