Will not coming back here even though the price was great. The tech I got did not even try to make a conversation. They did not have 2 colors i wanted. When the finally said they have the color, it turns out to be a wrong color... and it is obviously a wrong color but the tech doesn't realize until she finished all ten fingers. I told her the color is not correct and she finally notices. It appears that they had the bottle numbered incorrectly. When the finally find the right color, instead of taking off the incorrect color off my nails, she started coloring over the incorrect color. At this point, I just let her finish since I did not want to deal waiting. Then moved on to the pedicure. Omg.... this was a very painful experience and now I have an infected toe... It's been a while I've gotten a pedi, and I know she had to do a little work on my feet, but when she was cutting my toe nails, she used this pick and digged deep into the side of my toe. It was to a point where it was bleeding, and the tech knew but did not say a word. So bottom line, not coming back! read more

I got a full set of acrylics done last week and within the first 3 days they were falling off!! No cuticle trim, no prep just pasted the nails straight on. Such a waste of money. I will not be going back. read more

Got SNS for the first time ever. The guy doing my nails filed my nails down so short and continued filing to the point where I squealed multiple times and told him it hurt. The tips of my nails are rubbed raw and a few are even cut. Same with the filing of my cuticles. They are raw and they still sting. Would not recommend read more

Just got my sns manicures. Beautifully done by Helen. She took time to help me picking the right colors. Definitely recommend her service to my friends. read more

I moved to Tempe from Tucson and needed a new salon as good as my regular asap! Through asking many people around, I decided to give Pearl a try. It was amazing! I came in with a picture and told Harley I wanted to change a few things, but that was the overall look I was going for. We discussed the price and began to design. I was shocked atH ow well my nails turned out- just like I wanted! And the fact that towards the end it was still the same price I was quoted in the beginning was a real plus! I will definitely be returning to Pearl Nails & Spa and recommend it to anyone in the area. read more

Well, I didn't even get my nails done here. I went in just to have my SNS taken off and after the acetone soak the polish was still there. Instead of having it soak longer, they used the grinder tool to sand off the polish, and in doing so they also took off a layer of nail on all of my nails. Two weeks later and my nails are still incredibly unhealthy, fragile, and painful. My nails have been ripping because they are so thin. I'm not sure how they are with manicures/pedicures but needless to say I will not be going back to find out. read more

You get what you pay for. I called on my lunch break around noon on a Monday asking to schedule an appt at 5:30 and they said there was no need I could just walk in. Walked in at 5:30 and was told it would be a 20 min wait. Kind of annoying. I got the basic pedicure...I could have done a better job at home. Very basic color removal, minimal actual pedicure with color change. The entire pedicure took 12 minutes. Yes I timed it. My recommendation pay 5 more dollars somewhere else and get your cuticles done, mini foot massage, etc. read more

Pearls is a very nice nail spa. I received excellent service. My nails are beautiful.

I loved my nails everything was clean and very welcoming. I came to this one by accident because they took over and changed the name of the building. I yust to come see the ppl before they closed i had no idea. But it turned out they were much more updated with modern times and the place before was not but the ladies were sweet. Anyways they said it was something off but i didnt notice i wanted my nails square and he made them round it was very pretty but he still made me pay for the style when he made the mistake i didnt like that. I didnt like how high it was with a discount but i noticed they charge you separately for everything the gel, the Polish etc so when I was told that it made sense then. I went for my birthday it was fast and they were nice. But within a week my thumb nail was lifting and i was wondering if that happened because of the fast service and any woman who gets gel nails you know they last by minimum 3 weeks the third week i took them off because they were lifting and two popped off i would recommend this place if you need something done for an event but not long term they are pricey and not worth it to me the price would make sense if it was in Scottsdale and if my nails last as long as it should have . But try at your own risk !!! i loved them cant lie they are talented but ill only go back if im going somewhere important and i dont care about my nails lasting only a week and a half read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. I will never go to another nail salon. I've been here numerous times and they are always so kind. I went in today to get my toes and fingernails done before I headed to vacation. I wasn't clear to them when I told them what I wanted for my nails. Kim did gel nails for me and when she finished I told her I wanted tips, it was my fault because I wasn't clear.I didn't say that so she just thought I wanted gel nails. When I told her what I wanted she took everything off and started over. And she was very kind about it!! They are very professional and I absolutely love getting my nails done here. They are very talented. Kim is very sweet!! Love getting my nails done by here!! I will always come back here. Highly recommend!! And their prices are good too!! Love this place!! read more

I recommend this salon for a girls day out or just pamper yourself! They offer birthday discounts as well as student, teachers, seniors and military/spouses discount. Not common so well respected.

Pearl Nails & Spa - Waxing Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Awesome wax job! The nicest nail salon in the area, but for the same price! Super friendly and fast. Has a very upscale feel to it too! I'll be coming back for a pedi! read more

I was in town for a few days and decided to get my nails done. I have weak nails and generally don't like anything with drilling and filing to damage them more. I decided to try SNS because they recommended it. I am in love! My nails looked so natural and sleek. She took time to shape them just like I like them as well! They were nice and friendly and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! read more

Go see Hina! She is amazing! My nails have never looked better and she gives a great leg and foot massage.

My absolute favorite place to get my nails done! Kim and Phong are my go-to's for a fill, full set,or gel. Really want to try the new SNS next time. read more

How on Earth did this place ever receive nearly five stars? They're awful! I came in for SNS nails and a manicure. They cut nearly every cuticle they trimmed. My fingers are sore. The shape is horrible. I keep them a simple oval shape, these are thick, club shaped and clunky looking. They didn't even file them smooth! I asked for a nail design for Halloween...apparently not one single tech who works there knows how to do ANY kind of design at all. Worst nail experience I have ever had. Will NEVER return! read more

I've probably gone over a dozen times and have yet to have an enjoyable experience. The staff is incredibly rude and unprofessional. They lie about wait times, roll their eyes at customers, and at one point they straight up just laughed at me. I love the SNS, but enough is enough. I found a place 15 minutes away that offers SNS, so Pearl officially has lost my business. read more

Don't go here it is a waste of your money! A friend an I came in here the other day for a pedicure. We both walk a lot for our job so we were expecting a relaxing experience. My nail tech didn't have much to do concerning my toe nails because I keep them relatively short so I figured he would spend more time on my dry feet. We both paid the extra for the callus removal and this nail tech literally used a file on my heel which by the way did nothing. After spending maybe 5 minutes on that he moved on to the "massage" which lasted a whole 60 seconds. 2 days later I still have dry skin and calluses on my heels that were not removed and my polish is chipping. There wasn't a line for anyone coming in so I'm not sure why these pedicures were so rushed. I would never recommend anyone comes here. They do not care about their customers returning which is why neither of us will be. read more

Pearl is so amazing!!!!! They take their time and do a beautiful job on your nails. Tina was excellent!

Just got the best pedicure of my life here, and it was the cheap one! I can't wait to get the delux! I randomly came in here because my regular places was booked and Pearl popped up on google maps. This salon is brand new, super clean, and absolutely beautiful. My basic pedicure included a very thorough cuticle trimming (the most detail oriented one I have ever seen, seriously it was amazing!), long foot and leg rubs, and he cracked my toes too! I'm so glad I came here by chance, I will be a long time customer from now on. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Andy is amazing! read more

Great service! Great price! Love this place and will only come here! They don't give you any grief for paying with a card! My nail tech was a man who was very gentle with the tools so I didn't get nicked and he was also a perfectionist and my nails look great! The sms gel which they claim is healthier looks great and was only $35 not bad! I will for sure be a regular! read more

New to the area, I had tried several places; when I saw reviews for Pearl, I thought this might be "the one" (Despite the negative reviews. - which I now "get" completely!). Wrong. Yes, it has a nice spa look to it upon entering; yes, I was greeted right away; yes, I was seated right away (I did call about a half hour before to see if they had room for me, and asked to make an appointment.). While there were only a couple of people in the chairs for pedicures when I got there, it was soon full, and even though most of the technicians seemed to be occupied with manicures at the manicure bar (nice touch), more people were added to the fray. When I checked in, I could also tell there was a little disagreement about who was supposed to do my nails, and several times while I was there, there was much discussion about how to get each person served, and much jumping back and forth among the techs, which I found to be disconcerting. There was a little too much non-English banter during my visit, as well. While my technician seemed interested (and constantly apologetic, which made me feel odd), I had to ask for a design, and remind them I wanted a manicure (which seemed to cause another little rumble) even though I made appt, for mani/pedi. The spa pedicure is a little pricey in my opinion, as is the mani, but they do give discounts, so I didn't complain, even though they made me feel as if I made a poor choice not getting gel polish. Not until my last hand was being polished did I get an offer of water. Last, but not least...I like for my cuticles to be pushed back on my toes, which wasn't really done - one of my big toes looked dorky because the polish at the cuticle line and the nail itself was slanted (and I didn't realize it until the tech was finished.) Then somehow, while she was manipulating my hand around to face the fan, one of my thumbs was smudged. When she noticed it, the tech just polished right over it and said to let it dry. It looked pretty bad, so I asked her to re-do it, after sitting there for several minutes waiting to be checked, because she had asked me to pay before polishing and had moved on to another client. She apologized, but I sort of felt like leftovers, you know? Nail polish: chipped and peeling off within two days on my hands, and I was purposely taking it easy. Toes...looked like they were a week old by the same time, because the cuticles weren't pushed back. The people are nice. And the shop is nice. But a little less chaos would have made my visit more relaxing. read more

The staff here are rude and unprofessional. I always make an appointment but when I arrive I still need to wait at least twenty minutes. Regardless of this I continued to go here because of the SNS until one employee injured my foot during a pedicure. She tried to continue with the service as if nothing happened despite my foot bleeding right in front of her face. I had to demand that she stop and get some sort of bandaid. I got out of that place as soon as I could. The owner and her were completely unprofessional and really didn't even seem to care about this incident. This happened a few months ago and I still have a scar on my foot. I hope nobody else ever had to experience what I went through there. The injury hurt for days and their lack of basic first aid knowledge and complete disregard for my well being was shocking read more

Tried out this nail salon just because it was close and needed them done! The only thing good about it was that when my friend and I walked in they were able to start taking care of use right away. Other than that the second I sat down in the pedicure chair the guy doing my nails kept trying to push me into getting a gel pedicure and I was getting a full set of acrylics and he kept trying to push me into getting GEL acrylics instead of regular and I was like no I know what I want. But he kept like saying oh it'll last longer, it looks better, blah blah blah and I'm like okay I said no 5 times stop trying to get me to spend 30 extra dollars when I know they're going to grow out within 2 weeks. He was like oh are you a student? We can give you a discount and the gels won't be that expensive and I said no again. This place was also more pricey than other salons I've been too and they don't even do a better job for the money that they are charging. When I sit down for my acrylics he's STILL mentioning gels and I'm like come on, I said no over and over again and I was originally going to get regular square nails and then he was trying to convince me to get a shape cause that would be extra too and I'm like ok whatever I like coffin shape, I'll get those. He spent SO long filing and filing and filing and I'm like okay I appreciate you trying to get them perfect but once he was done I was like.... oh my gosh. Literally, a couple of them were crooked, my thumb nails were significantly shorter than all the other ones, it was just all sorts of bad. After having my nails for ONE week, they already looked SO old like as if I had them for three weeks, they were chipping and like peeling in some spots and that never happens to me. SUPER disappointed for the money I spent. Never coming back, I'm still mad. I never write yelp reviews but I did because this service was awful. read more

Such an amazing place! Staff is super friendly, reasonable prices and incredibly clean! I brought my 4 year old in for her first little princess pedicure and everyone was so nice and patient with her! Definetly going back! Plus, they offer a student discount read more

Being that it is barely my third time getting a full set of acrylic nails, this set is my favorite. I'm not sure what her name was, but the nail technician was very nice to me and double checked on the colors and design I asked for. The only thing I disliked was the noticeably dirty station and how uncomfortable the chairs were to sit at. The bar was by far the best attraction. Paid more than what I anticipated but that's because she won me over with getting gel polish instead of regular. read more

Great place. Had gel toes done and they lasted over a month. Great job. Go see them!

I've been going to this salon for over a year. It's beautiful! The owner and the employees are all so nice to me every time I go in there, and they know me be name. I followed my nail tech (Don) from another salon I'm very picky about the quality of my nails, and my nails always turn out great! They give discounts for teachers and some other professions as eel as a birthday discount. I love this place! read more

I have been going to Pearl Nails since it opened and I have loved it. Sadly, the last 2 times I have been there the smell of dog poop from the boarding place next door is so overwhelming it made me sick. It's really too bad. read more

I gave 2 stars because of my most recent experience. I've been coming here for months now and I ALWAYS leave happy. My SNS nails will literally hang on for a solid 3 weeks, sometimes 4 [they grow of course, but they aren't chipping all over the place]. I just went for a pedicure and the nail tech cut down the side of my toenail. I did NOT have an ingrown toenail, but I think I do now. My toe hurts so unbelievably bad and is swollen and red at the spot she cut it down to. YOU GUYS ARE NOT PODIATRISTS. YOU SHOULD NOT BE CUTTING DOWN THE SIDES OF ANYONES TOENAILS, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS NO REASON TO. Let them know to got to a DOCTOR and have that done if needed. I am so furious about this, I don't know if I will ever get a pedicure again and I surely won't refer anyone for it either. Wearing closed toed shoes hurt, walking hurts, etc. I am gonna have to pay to see a specialist over this when I didn't ask for it. I can find a salon that dips my nails and doesn't cause me pain. Also, it is TOO hot in the salon. We live in the desert. If your techs are sweating, WE ARE SWEATING TOO. read more

I have been coming here on and off for more than two years. I like some of the techs work but there are things that I find really irritating when I come in sometimes. Don't bother to make an appointment. You will ultimately end up with someone else doing part of your service and sit and wait for your tech of choice to finish someone else. If you are short on time or have things planned to do, keep this in mind. The last person to do my pedicure never even made eye contact with me and I just find that terribly rude. I've also had trouble with them substituting different colors if they can't find the one you want. They don't mention it so if you're trying to match your mani to your pedi this can be extremely disappointing when you leave the salon and see it in the light. I have had times I've left with cuts on more than one cuticle. The salon is clean and it's convenient for me but because of these problems I am not sure I will continue to patronize it. read more

I came in for the first time today to get a mani & pedi and as soon as I walked in I loved the nice decor and variety of music they had playing. I came in on a weekday/Holiday so since it wasn't busy they got me in right away. I had seen so many good reviews about the SNS system so I decided to try it out and I loved how they had a variety of colors to choose from. Unfortunately though the color I had chosen was almost out so I just decided to go with another one. The whole manicure process went good except for the fact that for some reason the polish on my right thumb came off after taking a hot shower that night which was very weird to me since I heard the SNS system is supposed to be longer lasting than the gel. As for my pedicure though I decided to choose the basic one and I was surprised that it didn't include a massage or sugar scrub considering the fact that most nail salons I've been to include it at no charge for the same price. The lady doing my pedicure then asked f I would like to add the sugar scrub for $5 since it would also include a foot massage so I agreed to do it as an add on and I have to admit I've had better pedicures done before for the same price if not cheaper. Overall my experience here was a 7/10 given the fact that my pedicure wasn't all that great and my polish from my manicure came off my thumb the same night it was done. I'm willing to give this place another chance but it just wasn't what I expected based on reviews. Updated review 9/6/16 I will definitely consider giving this place another try considering the fact that they were able to take me in as a walk in to fix my nail at no charge. read more

Not great color selections for gel. When I went, my manicurist was clearly rushed and did a so-so job of it. She saw I wasn't stoked and tried to mitigate towards the end, to be fair. However, am not likely to return. read more

Here on a visit before hitting a wedding in Texas and had to get a mani and pedi before leaving. Chose Pearls simply because of reviews on Yelp and they did not disappoint. Don did the best job I've ever received anywhere and I am picky when it comes to my cuticles and heels!! Don't go anywhere else! read more

By far the most modern, cleanest nail salon I've been to outside of a hotel/spa situation. The nail bar is much more comfortable then the little tables. They line the pedi chairs with a plastic so you are always putting your feet into a clan tub. They serve you water or coffee. I also like that they talk to you! read more

This was my third time going here. The first time I got a pedi and was very satisfied, however the last two times have not been so good. I left with a bloody finger both times by two different nails techs. I get my nails done frequently and I can't even remember the last time I had my cuticle ripped off. The atmosphere is wonderful and very clean, and the nails techs are friendly, and they try their best to fit you in ASAP, but I won't be coming back. One last tip, if you get gel, don't ask for matte. You'll be paying 3 extra bucks only to be left with "dull" or "pre top coat" looking nails but it certainly isn't matte... read more

This place and service was absolutely amazing! I don't usually write reviews but this place was too good not to. I took my mom for her birthday and I had never been here before, and she loved it! She loved the staff, the service and ambiance! Will definitely be coming a lot more now. We found our new favorite nail salon! Thank you to Don and the rest of the staff! You earned yourselves regulars and we will definitely be putting a good word in for this place with our family and friends. read more

today was my first time at this salon and was so lovely!! the atmosphere was very cute and clean!! but the best part was the people who work there!! Grace did my gel manicure and was the most amazing ever she was so sweet and kind and made sure she was gentle with me and my nails look so good!!! thank you Grace and everyone there for being so kind and talented!!! read more

Yesterday was my first and LAST time ever going to this place. I got there at 345pm to have a pedicure, full set and to have my old set soaked off. I sat for my pedicure and the girl didn't even do a good job scrubbing my feet but I'm like okay whatever as long as my feet are polished. So after a man began to remove my nails with a fake nail but was extremely rough with my whole hand in general. I didn't have a problem with the fake nail but he was hurting me and I have a high pain tolerance. But when he got to nail #3 I couldn't take it. He was literally forcing the nail under mine and I was scared he was going to hurt my actual nail with the pliers. So I requested a soak (which is what I initially asked for). I sat there for a whole hour before anyone came and checked on me so I started trying to remove them on my own. After a while a woman came to assist me but she was very rough as well. Idk if it was because it was later in the day and they were tired and ready to go home. But I am a paying customer so don't rush. Eventually the man began removing the nails a hour later. My fingers were sore and numb and that had never happened to me before. I didn't even let him put on the new acrylics. I left at 6pm without having my nails done. He was just going to rush and force it anyway and I didn't want to be disappointed AND in pain. So no thanks. Go at your own risk. read more
