The Art Of Nails

Love this place! Super clean and relaxing, reasonably priced and the work is fabulous! I get gel manicure and pedicure and my nails stay looking great for weeks. It’s best to call for an appointment.

This use to be a great place but very very disappointed with today’s pedicure. I had an appointment and arrived about 5 minutes early and was told ut would be 5 minutes. No problem I was early. Then after 30 minutes they finally had me go to a chair. It was totally chaotic in there. Taking walkins when already packed or telling walkins to come back at a specific time but not writing anything down. Then the took a few new walkins so when the others who had been told to come back at a specific time, they had to wait at least 20+ minutes. Crazy. My pedicure was only OK and not relaxing at all. It was done very quickly without much care. The keg massage was not relaxing like it was previously. Needless to say I will NOT be back. Miss Tommy & Tami as they were awesome and had a great following. Additionally, the place was not very clean– water bottles and candy wrappers every where. Stations not even cleaned a trash between clients!

THIS
PLACE IS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.
Went in today not knowing that. I got a pedicure and gel manicure and my daughter got a pedicure and full set. The people who did our nails did a good job, however when we both went to select a gel color a least half of the colors were not available. We both «settled» for something they had.
I was highly disappointed today. Don’t think I’ll
Be back.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR… RELAXING…Famiy run. New owners, Nam & wife… so happy I discovered them. Great natural-​looking acrylics and a menu of different pedicures. EXCELLENT, Polite service. ALL techs are good. but I go to Nam. Lovely location on First ave. .love

It’s been about 10 years since I’ve had a full set of French manicure acrylics and I must say Tommy did a great job. Started off with some odd comments that were maybe just a misunderstanding between us but I decided I wanted to fix that right away so I just stayed kind and tried talking to him and by the end of the visit he was smiling and friendly.
The salon is very nicely decorated and clean and it’s also big. There are 8 pedi stations and 8 mani stations so I imagine the place is usually quite busy.
I’m very happy with his work. My nails look beautiful! He has been doing nails for over 20 years and he does them right. They don’t make the white ¹⁄₃ of the nail to save themselves some work. They make them look natural and they feel so nice. He also did my daughter right after me and we were done in under two hours. Overall I’m very satisfied and will be returning.
I have been to most of the nail salons in the Oro Valley area and have not been as satisfied as I am with this location. Keep up the great work!

Wonderful customer service and a great atmosphere. I love getting my toes and nails pampered here, not to mention they stayed 40 minutes after closing time to ensure they met my needs!

Came here yesterday for my very first time. I made an appointment the day before. When I walked in, there were only two other clients being serviced. On first impression, this salon is (obviously) new and very clean looking; their stations and pedicure chairs look very nice and they have comfy couches in a small waiting area.
Overall I’m not very impressed with this place. Their lack of customer service (even being greeted when walking in the door or being seated at the station would’ve been nice) and lack of attention to detail left a bad taste in my mouth. 5 different ladies walked in after me and were treated better than I was. Tommy did my nails, and seemed a bit distracted with the time and the phone during my service.
My acrylic nails are all different lengths, and are very thin. They are also extremely short for saying «just a little» when asked if I wanted them shorter. My mom also came here to get a pedicure a week ago and wasn’t impressed. I’m disappointed because this salon is very close to my house and would’ve been extremely convenient. I will only come back here if I am unable to make it to my regular nail salon.

I’m extremely impressed with the quality of service, the cleanliness, and the overall experience! Nam did an outstanding job on my nails! I’m very particular when it comes to shape and style and he did exactly what I wanted/​needed!

They’re really good when they show up on time and remember you have an appointment. Unfortunately my mother and I have had to wait on more than one occasion when we were the first appointment of the day and when you make an appointment to be told «they’ll fit you in» because they didn’t write down the appointment you made upon checkout the last time you visited is not acceptable. So to show up at 10 and be told they already have a 10:30 appointment and it isn’t you, and at 10:20 they still aren’t there, I don’t see how we would be «fit in.» They have some great techs, unfortunately most of the newer people can’t do acrylics and seem to be limited on what they can do, so not only is our appointment cancelled, no one else can do our nails! Every Sunday we woke up early and got ready just for this, time we could have enjoyed sleeping in or relaxing, so to be told we basically got up early and ready for no reason is disheartening. Tommy and Tammy, while you are good at what you do, we won’t be back to your salon, either of them. So it doesn’t matter if you comment back or not, we won’t be returning. I know you work hard, I know you work 363 days out of the year, but if working so much is sacrificing what you can give to your clients, it isn’t worth it. Take some days off! Because we can tell when you are exhausted and when you’re late for your first appointment because you need some rest. Take it! Just don’t have me book an appointment and then show up to be told it isn’t on the books and I’ll be «fit in.» I don’t make appointments to be fit in, I make them to work for my schedule, and I would like for my appointments to be filled, end of story. I give them 2 stars because they really are good at what they do, but I took 3 off for the fact you have to wait on a regular basis for them to fit into their schedule and it seems tommy is the only one who is willing to do nail art. I understand some clients take longer than others and things come up and occasionally you will need to wait but pretty much every time we had to wait, or someone would do half our nails and then be turned over to someone else because they’re over booked or can’t do what we want and most of their techs can’t do full service. We really hate to find a new nail salon, but we will, because we aren’t even going to bother rearranging our schedule to fit into Saturday appointments at the other location, only to possibly told we will be «fit in» when we have an appointment. If you don’t mind waiting around because your time isn’t important or you have a flexible schedule then they will give you a good manicure/​pedicure. My mom tried going to their other location during her lunch breaks, for several years, but that didn’t pan out well either quite a few time. so if you’re free from 9 – 11 or 2 – 5 during the weekdays then you should probably try it, they’re great if you’re a house wife, non working spouse, or retired. If you have things to take care of and are on a schedule then don’t bother, even if you commit coming in regularly. I really hate to leave this review because I liked coming here but we waited for too long on too many occasions for it to be acceptable.

Had a Pedi and a new set of nails put on. Great service, clean place. I will be back.

Last minute perfection! I had an appointment at a near by nail shop upon arriving I was told they did not provide the services I requested but when I called and when I spoke with them on the phone it was confirmed they provided the services I needed and wanted. GEL Nails! I was very upset and it was a waste of my time. I was lucky enough to have found The Art of Nails and when I arrived there was absolutely no one there so I was a little skeptical. I was greeted by the owner (Tommy) and explained to him what I wanted and he assured me I would be satisfied. I am pleased to say I have found a new home for my nails! Thank Tommy for the great customer service and for taking me at the last minute with no appointment. Last minute PERFECTION!

The best nail salon in Oro Valley! Top notch technicians!

Was able to get in last minute and tommy (the owner) was awesome and did my nails PERFECT!!! Will be returning!

My favorite nail salon! Haven’t had a bad pedicure yet. Tommy is fast and efficient at gel manicures.

I was truly disappointed with my experience after reading so many great reviews. The nail technician was rude and only spoke and made eye contact with me once. No cuticle softener was used before she started tearing and shredding my cuticles and almost completely ignoring the skin on the sides of my nails. My cuticles should not throb during a manicure. She wasn’t going to finish removing my old polish until I said something either. Sad to say I won’t be going back due to the poor attention to detail and customer service.

Best pedicure I’ve had in oro valley! Very clean! Walked in and they saw me right away! Great massage and service overall, a little pricey but we’ll worth it

I feel like I’m cheating on my usual go-​to salon! I’ve been here twice for pedicures and I really enjoyed my experience both times. The staff is friendly and attentive, and you they even give you a little bottle of water when you sit down. They’re very detail oriented and take their time making sure your nails are done right. They also have the best massage chairs! The whole place is very clean which is a must. The prices are pretty standard and reasonable. I will definitely continue coming here!

Came here with my wife/​daughter on a Thursday and it was pretty busy. (But that’s a good thing to me) Make me feel like they are probably good since people are waiting. After 15 minutes of waiting my wife and daughter sat next to each others on the spa chairs. They both for a pedicure. My daughter said the service was okay since it was a little awkward with an older man massaging her. All the lady were busy and one was working on my wife. My wife really liked her massage during the pedicure and the end results of her white tip toes. Emmy did her and Emmy was very nice. I think the best part my wife enjoy was the massage and my daughter like her paint result.
Spa chairs seems to be new and clean. The floor was clean and you can’t really smell much chemical inside the store. The store is spacious. They let me sit next to the workers to talk to my family.
Our in laws live ten minutes away from the shop, so each month when we visit for the weekend, I will be treating my two girls to get their nails done! Next time, well book an appointment to insure two women will be working on their nails. & my wife will be booking for Emmy again.

The best nail salon in Oro Valley/​Rancho Vistoso not to mention very clean. Great prices and even better service. I like that they aren’t over priced for gel /​shellac like most other salons. The employees are well skilled and can fill any nail request you have.

If Unilocal could allow me to give this place a negative star, I would. the salon is new n clean. But the lady who work on me, she has no license. Her name is Kimmie, she told me she’s from Florida and just get here to help out his brother Tom. i didnt see her license post at the shop. I ask her real name Kim peters. I went home and do the research from the state board. there’s no license with that name. its not right trying to make money by hiring the nail tech without license which is no knowledge about nails and sterilize the tools. all the customers, be careful with this place, go to tons of salon around the area to have the license nail tech take care of you.
I asked the state board, they told me if she has Florida license, she still couldn’t work in az without Arirona license. it will take her around 30 days to change her license. if from now, she don post her license up, that’s mean she’s illegal to work here. dear customers! You need to have the nail tech who license in az to work on you with lots of responsible. this’s unfair for who actually go to school and legal to work here. if she post her license after 30 days from now, that’s mean she’s been working without license at this shop. this place is new but already cheat on the customers, break your trust. i don trust people has no license. don come here, you should go to somewhere that has license to take care of you. i don talk about the owner having license to not, I’m talking about the nail tech that work here, and the customers who don know the truth about this shop, this owner, Don judge my review, check her license first.
