Darling Nails & Spa

I do enjoy coming here. I recommend to book an appointment. They do get busy. Their prices are good for this area.
Since my last review of this place, services have somewhat gone done in the manicure area. Pedicures are still of the same quality I like to get.
However, customers beware of the head nail tech whose station is in front of salon. I have been her client for multiple occasions for new acrylic gel set or fill and she has disappointed me little by little. Her attitude is mostly negative, she appears to be annoyed and unfriendly with customers, she rushes with her client’s nails.
I had my fill done by her last Friday (⁴⁄₁) and already one nail has easily come off and I had to re file my nails since they were not straight or same length. I called ⁴⁄₇ to let salon know to fix it and was told to come back next day. Obviously it’s not going to take long to fix but I felt like they didn’t care.
Customers, I recommend you go to the other techs. There is a gentleman who does great work on nails and toes. I will not let that female tech touch my nails again. I’ll be going to only the male tech who seems to be genuine and does great work.

I used to really love this place, been coming here for about a year. Came in today, two customers, about 5 workers and was told they are very busy to come back after 5 pm. REALLY!!! Sorry you just lost my business. I’ll go somewhere else.

Love the service here. The stylists are friendly and make you feel welcome. They have great attention to detail and I highly recommend them :)

I’ve come 3 times now and I won’t be back. They’ve disappointed me every time. Very overpriced and I am rushed through it. I expect better when I’m paying $ 50 for a pedicure. The lady was sloppy and gave me a 2 minute massage and left my feet as rough as they were when I came in. She cut my toe nail too short and it bled. I paid for the VIP pedicure and I’m so mad I wasted my money yet again.

I have been a regular here for 4 years! Before finding this place, I searched and searched. The owners are always here, they are interactive with customers and if you ever have a problem or need something specific they get right on it! I love that when I have an appointment they honor it and I never have to wait on walk-​ins being seen before me. Whoever is doing my fill concentrates on me the whole time without bouncing around from customer to customer. The pedicures are a good price for a good job! They take their time and never make you feel rushed. I absolutely recommend Darling Nails. I’m a customer for life!

Okay, couple of problems with this place. First, the woman talked nonstop to her coworkers while doing my nails. Not usually a problem but she also kept stopping to talk to her friends. And no, I don’t mean for a second, I mean having a full conversation while I’m sitting there waiting. The second she was done with the top coat she walked off. I thought she’d return with a portable light but nope, she walked off to talk to a few more coworkers and customers. I finally walked up and asked her if I could get under a light to finish drying my nails. She gestured across the room without any further instructions. I balanced my phone on my leg so I could time myself, finished drying my nails and walked out, never to return again. Not sure what I did to get on this woman’s bad side but she was a dick to me and I thought I was fine to her so I will not be back. If you come here I’d suggest you keep your expectations of customer service low.

Being my first time, I was hoping to get a guy’s point of view. I came in for a basic pedicure. They were busy but the woman wrote me down to come back within the hour. I happen to be in my car waiting when the same woman came out 20 mins later to tell me they were ready for me. She was very nice and got me settled in as she was still working on another client next to me. However another pedicurist came after and worked on me. She wasn’t as pleasant but did her job well and I was happy with the service. I’ll be back if still in the area.

My first time here, I had an appointment. I got pushed back because a party of 5 showed up without an appointment right when they opened. The guy that did my pedicure wandered in about 15 minutes late, looking like he had a rough night. During my pedicure, he put his finger down his pants and scratched.his.butt. Ewwww. I won’t be back.

I went here with my mom one saturday afternoon for a girls day out and they did a great job on our pedicures however I had my eyebrows waxed after the pedicure and that was a disaster. The gal that did my eyebrows put wax down onto my lid where there is no hair. I didn’t think anything of it… I figure she knows what she is doing. Not the case. The skin was burned from the wax being to hot and from ripping it off of bare skin where there is no hair. I have had my eyebrows waxed many times in my life and I have never had this happen. My skin was so raw and so sore it weeped that first day and I had to put aloe on it to make it stop burning. Pain pills to sleep is the only way I could stop the burn. Two days later they finally scabbed up and I had to go to work for three days like that before they started to peel. Absolutely awful… I am so scared to have my eyebrows done anywhere now. BEWARE LADIES! DO NOT HAVE YOUR EYEBROWS WAXED AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT. :(

Checked this place out for the first time today as I have been stalking nail salon reviews for a few weeks now, trying to find a place closer to home and cheaper (without sacrificing quality & experience) than my usual place.
I have to say, I was pleased with my experience!
Separate, dedicated reception space makes a world of difference on initial impression, and I think that helps them be able to recognize you’ve arrived and therefore greet you almost immediately. The whole place was very clean and did not have a strong chemical smell. The woman who checked me in directed me to pick a color and before I had made a selection, they were already ready for me; which was nice because I always feel awkward when I am ready and they haven’t told me where to go (which I don’t think would be an issue here because as I said, they have a dedicated reception/​lobby sitting space).
Pricing was really good for what they offer you: a fully-​functional and not-​over zealous massage chair while they give you a thorough salt scrub, calf/​foot massage, paraffin wax on your feet, brief hot stones before they do the hot towel part to get off excess oil/​lotion, and of course the detailed nail care. I paid less for the above mentioned here than I normally do at my regular price, and they don’t use the hot stones at all. It seemed that this place uses the hot stones regardless of what pedicure you get (they have three options — basic, luxury, and VIP).
Overall, I will definitely be back, probably with my husband to get his opinion (as we normally get our pedicures together) at least one more time before I determine if this is my new place.

First Impression: I was greeted right away and that is important. Their waiting room is a separate entity from their work space. Nice! The decorations are neutral and relaxing and pleasing to the eye. The music in the background is nice and not too loud. The place is clean and sanitizes from what I could see. I’m very picky when it comes to having my nails done, I have been doing this for 28 years. My tail tech understood what I wanted and did exactly what was needed.

I’m so glad that I stopped in. I don’t get pedicures very often, but I was in serious need when I dropped by. A sandwich board by the road drew me in — and even though it was close to closing time, they quickly set me up in a chair and made me quickly melt into it. My pedicurist was very nice, easy to understand, and did a great job. She even convinced me to change up my color for once, when I was admiring the gal’s color next to me. I highly recommend the VIP pedicure. Mud mask, sea salt scrub, paraffin wax and an oil massage. I am a very happy girl :)

First impressions are everything. My friend and I decided to try this place, and while it looks nice and the staff is nice, they are not very up on effeciency. We both wanted pedis and my friend wanted just a mani while I got a full set. I wanted my nails a certain length (natural looking SHORT), and even after I kept pestering her about it, the nail tech did not deliver. I am not one to get rude or upset, but I did tell her the nails were not even, and she got annoyed with me. I dried my nails for MAYBE a minute with the fan, and only a couple under the UV because they «forgot» I wanted a pedi and filled up their stations. I then had to finagle my way to get to a chair between people and station kits, and since I am tall had to scoot the chair back WITH MY WET NAILS… I then sat in the chair with my feet pruning for over 10 minutes before the guy came over and asked me the color I wanted (which was STILL sitting on the table where he had asked me twice before).
I don’t feel the quality is in this place. My nails could have been done WAY better by a salon school.
If I could come back and get different people, I might, but my hunt for a good quality and yet affordable nail salon is still on.
My friend feels that we should have both had pedis at the same time, instead of opposite… I totally agree.

Tried this place out after being disappointed with my usual. Impressed! My friend and I were walk ins and they got us seated immediately. He explained to us why our gel started peeling from the last place and he really seemed to take his time and do a great job. My friend accidentally hit hers and he took the time to fix it right away. Definitely going to come back, especially since it’s 2 minutes from my house. :) Price was the same as I’ve paid everywhere else as well.

Visiting Mesa area from Northern California. Found this salon from its previous reviews. I totally agree with the other customers. Quality place, clean, friendly, quality work. Will definitely come again!

Love this place. Its clean. They have several seats. The inside is roomy, decorated classy, and comfortable. They have sterilized nail equipment that is opened right in front of you. They clean the foot bowls very well.
The price is cheap for as long as they work on you. And the job they do is perfect.
I love that they have 2 doors they open to get ventilation in the shop. I cant stand being in a stuffy closed in nail salon. I get a headache from all the fumes. This place isnt like that.
I went for the first time a few months ago. I referred my daughter and she loves going here. They even fixed her gel nails that another salon screwed up on. I brought my husband the other day for a pedicure. He is a very manly man and he even liked the service there. There prices are the same as other salons, but there service is way better.

Excellent. Clean place. Nice nail technicians. Good fast service. No appointment necessary. I walked in a was seen right away. The gel manicure was the most affordable I’ve ever had. The service was fast yet professional. I love this salon!

First impression clean and welcoming. No appt and were able to service me right away. Nail tech did excellent job. Very friendly. Prices reasonable and fair. Five customers walked in at 6:30, 30 minutes before closing and all employees were ready to go. Definitely recommend.
