Iris Nails

I always had a good experience with Iris Nails — until today. I will never go back again. I had a 10:15 pedi appt for my 96-​year old mother. We got there at 10:16 and a young girl showed her to her chair and then continued to sort through towels and whatever chores she was doing. It wasn’t until 10:30 and I had asked who was doing her nails that she started working on my mother. Not only was she very rude and impersonal she was very rough with my mother even though I told her to be gentle.
The other woman there was just as off-​hand. We were treated as if we were an intrusion to their day.

I went in on a recommendation from a friend today. I made an appointment last week because they were booked up until Tuesday which, I thought was a good sign. However I was not prepared for the rushed and painful treatment I experienced today. Kathy was abrasive both in mannerism and in her treatment with my rebase. I did not feel like she valued my business. Also the smell of chemicals were quite strong. I will not be returning.

I go to iris nails about every two weeks. The ladies remember me and know exactly what I like and i’m always very satisfied with my manicure. Love this place!

The girl I had was quick yet thorough for my pedi and shellac mani. Everyone in the establishment was polite and spoke English to each other for the most part as well. If I ever visit Boulder again I will make a point to go back. Most importantly my busted ass hands and feet feel pretty again and I did not receive an infection. All tools were clean and sterile!

I love this place! A friend brought me here about 2 years ago and I was impressed by the staff, the environment and the quality of service as well as the selection. The massage chairs are new and actually give me a great, relaxing massage. I go in for a pedicure and gel manicure every few weeks. It took me awhile to find the perfect person for me (Holly) but once I did, I always request her. I’m not sure why Blair S. didn’t like her but she gives me the_​best_​leg/​foot massage I’ve ever had and she’s painstaking about every step in the process. I feel like she cares about the job she’s doing — I never feel like she’s rushing. The only problem I ever have is choosing what color to pick from because there are so many to choose from! They take walk-​ins but I usually call ahead and I never have to wait.

The end product AKA my painted toenails were great. But for me, a spa pedicure is about the journey, not the destination. I went with a good friend. We began at the same time and her experience lasted 30 minutes longer. Mine was quick, rushed, and included a terrible massage. I won’t be returning here. If you DO go here, don’t go to Holly.

Love this place. It’s in a convenient location and they give a great gel manicure. They are also very friendly and the place is clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it for a manicure/​pedicure.

The salon itself is clean, comfortable, and doesn’t reek of nail polish remover like some other salons, they also have an awesome selection of colors in regular polish and gel polish.
The main reason I continue to come here though is that it is close to my house and the estheticians know me and are super friendly when I come in. It’s a great place to go if mani/​pedis are part of your beauty routine.

I have been going to Iris Nails for about a year now. Sadly, I must report that the quality of service has been steadily declining. My last service, which was a Gel Manicure and a Polish Change for my toes, was so rushed that it was not only poor quality, but an overall uncomfortable experience. I have since taken my business to a place a friend recommended to me, Tiffany Nails. There is no comparison between the professionalism and quality of service. I will not be heading back to Iris Nails anytime soon.

I could not disagree more with the other reviews. Iris nails is my go-​to pedicure place. They do a good job and the facilities are clean and relaxing. Every time I’ve been there, they have soap operas on, but that’s nothing I haven’t experienced at every other nail salon I’ve visited, and they keep the volume reasonable so it’s not a distraction. I have gone there multiple times over the past year or two, and have never been dissatisfied with my experience.

I have tried this place numerous times, but their general incompetency astounds me.
1. After warning the lady doing my pedicure about my toe blister, she banged it THREE times while filing because she was busy watching TV.
2. Same lady couldn’t polish a whitish/​pink color and had to try three times. Finally the owner did it. I was there over 2 hours.
3. Its not very relaxing to have a the owner’s toddler grab your wrist for your attention while you’re trying to have a pedicure because her parents neglect her all day at the shop.
4. Tried to make an appointment with the owner, but husband who took the appointment neglected to tell her. I walked in, owner was busy with another customer. They didn’t seem sorry.
5. Too expensive for all of this B.S.
