Diamond Nails

Worst pedicure ever. The guy didn’t even trim my cuticles or around my toes. I asked him about it and he stuttered and said he did. He didn’t. Then I go to pay and he charged me $ 10 extra for a deluxe pedicure. I told him I never asked for one and he said he used a «special» lotion on my legs. I don’t remember that at all. I was totally lied to and will never go back again. You are better off driving to Champaign-​Urbana.

I have been going here for 3 months. My favorite technician is Tu (not sure if I spelled her name right). She is very meticulous and is very friendly. Cathy the owner of the salon is very nice. If there is ever a problem you can drop in and she will fix it right away. Their prices are very reasonable and the staff is always very friendly. Nice hometown nail salon. I bring my kids with me most of the time and I appreciate that they don’t mind them at all.

3.5 stars
Very nice staff who can understand you. Pretty busy place definitely mahomet regulars in there.
I can’t decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing but they don’t have the biggest selection of polishes. OPI and China glaze. Not a fancy salon it’s a place to go on and get your nails doneeee.
The price was right though. 50 – 60 for shellac mani and plain pedi. They have lots of staff so even without an appointment I doubt wait would be long.

The place is horrible. I used to go here because they are in the town where I live and it is convenient. However, they often tell you one price and then when you have the service they charge you another price. Their work is often sloppy. The business is not kept clean and they are lax on their sanitation. The workers are constantly talking in Vietnamese and you can tell that they are talking about you but not what they say. Not a relaxing or fun environment.

I use to go to Diamond Nails because it is in my home town however, the cleanliness and clutter has gotten so bad I can no longer bear it. Overall, the Vietnamese operated nail places seem to be more about how many customers they can push through in one hour rather than quality of service provided. This does not provide a relaxing environment or a good job. Each coat is applied very quickly only to provide clumping and inconsistent coverage of the nail. I stopped getting manicures there because they always filed my nails at an angle and they use very coarse files which causes splitting. Instead of replacing gummy polish they dilute it which does not provide quality product. The last time I was there for a pedicure I noticed as I was paying that they took another customer in the same chair I had left without cleaning the bowl. The ladies are all very nice so it is really too bad. Also I never understand why customers have to wait when there are two, sometimes three employees sitting on the sofa looking at their laptops.
