Creating Magic Salon

Stumbled upon this nail salon the other day and decided to try a manicure. decent priced and was very pleased with the «over the top» customer service!!! Very friendly environment! I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the salon as Well which i feel is quite noteworthy. i would definitely go here again!!!

FINALLY found my forever hair guy! Markis is AMAZING! He really listens to his clients, is fun, great personality, loves what he does and cares about what he’s doing. I completely trust and value his opinion. He knows what he’s doing and is excellent at it! I brought him a picture of what I wanted and now my blonde hair is a work of art! Absolutely beautiful! If you want an exceptional hair stylist, he is your man! Very reasonable prices, PLUS First time clients get 20% off! LOVE him!

Love this salon so much! Very clean and everyone is super friendly. I think the prices are fair — you’re paying for salon quality work with pros. I think they take walk ins but I usually call ahead. I’ve never had my hair done here but my mani pedis are always perfect. They don’t use those cuticle clippers that can can cut you or those feet shaver things. Everything is sanitized and non-​scary. I always get solid colors on my nails but someday I’ll have to get some nail art, the pictures I’ve seen are so impressive!

I found the reviews on Unilocal so helpful when selecting this salon to get my nails done. I called yesterday morning for a gel mani and someone answered the phone right away and they scheduled me in for later that day. Ileana did my nails and she’s great! Super friendly, very professional, and my nails look awesome :) I plan to come here often.

I love this salon! I have never gotten a bad service here — manicure, pedicure, facial — all of the staff here are professional, personable and take pride in their jobs. I highly recommend Creating Magic and am a very happy frequent customer!

Just moved to town, gave Gaylee a try and she was awesome. Definitely found my regular manicurist/​pedicurist.

I usually have trouble getting my nails done well because my nail beds are pretty small. Barbara did an awesome job on my very simple but beautiful acrylic overlays. The shop is beautiful and very clean. The staff was super courteous and friendly. I will definitely keep going back.

Yes Barbara!!! Gaylee knew exactly what the problem was and what was causing my toe to hurt! After she filed the nail down, oh what a difference!!! I’m so conflicted. I’m so happy I want to tell the whole world about the fabulous «Creating Magic» and the selfish side of me wants you all for myself! hahaha

New employee took two hours to give me a pedicure. Very awkward experience. She was clumsy and I left with a smudged big toe. Fifty dollar pedicure disaster. It felt like a pedicure from a beauty school. Bummed.

I have been coming to Barb at Creating Magic for months for my pedicures and manicures. She is awesome and ok couldn’t be happier. I then met Carol and started seeing her for my eyebrows and eyelashes. Wonderful wonderful. Love these women.

Markis is AMAZING! He really takes the time to get to know your hair: growth direction, cowlicks, natural part, etc before he cuts a single strand. When he’s finished cutting he takes the time to make sure everything sits pretty so you don’t have to fight with it later. I appreciate that he’ll go with what you want but always give you his professional opinion in the nicest way. Pixie cuts are not the easiest but he did such a great job, very talented. Will def return. Oh and he’s a great conversationalist. :)

Two stars are for the friendly staff and cleanliness. I was very disappointed in the pedicure I received. $ 56.00 and an hour later I left with poorly polished toes, the dark color I came in with wasn’t completely removed. My heals are still cracked, there was no dead skin removed. One of my favorite parts of my weekly pedicure is the massage and was disappointed in that too. Perhaps nails and hair are their thing and that’s why they have many good reviews. Don’t waste your money here for a pedicure.

Markis is the best hair stylist! I’ve been his client for four years, since he found me! Short, long, color, he does it all.

Had to come back to get my nails done by Ileana because she did just an amazing job the first time. She is an amazing nail tech, and thus place has officially become my go to spot to get my nails done. Love it here! Highly recommended

I have to say that this place really surprised me.
I appreciate that the owner, Barbara, personally reached out to me to get my feedback and to ask for a second chance to make a first impression.
My nail artist was Marissa. She did a fantastic job on my tips and toes.
She was very laid back and sweet. She was thorough and although she had acrylic claw-​like nails, she had a nice touch with the mini massage on the feet and hands and didn’t scratch me!
I feel like this always happens when getting massaged at other nail salons even when the person has short nails; when the massage begins, they dig their nails into the tender bottom of my foot — not Marissa!
She really did a fantastic job, my nails are perfect and my gel looks great and I left feeling pretty, oh so pretty!
Thank you :)

My mother-​in-​law and I walked in 30 minutes before close, in desperate need of new nails for the MIL. I was also trying to treat my mother-​i-​l. before she flew out the next day after her Christmas vacation with us. We had stumbled on Creating Magic by googling, «Nails,» in the iphone map.
Barbara, the owner, greeted us and she knew that this would go past their closing time, but she agreed anyways.
Barbara was very personable and did «the best job,» my mother-​in-​law, who has been getting her nails done religiously for 20+ years, as ever done.
I liked the «small local business feel.» The owner and her other salon employees were joking around and were very hospitable to us late comers.
I don’t get my nails done much, or frequent salons, for that matter, but I would consider getting some waxing, nails or highlights, just to go back!
Thank you Barbara and friends!

We had a canceled flight with time to kill… Mani/​pedi and a blow out were just what we needed! Staff was super friendly, my nails looked great and with a short über/​taxi, made it back for or flight in no time:)

A friend and I had our flight canceled and had 5 hours to kill. We aren’t from the Phoenix area and we found this place on Unilocal.I called they were able to get us in for a wash and blow dry and mani pedis. Lainie gave me a great shampoo and style made me feel and look a lot better. And Ileana did a great job on my nails. Would definitely recommend this place great friendly staff made us feel welcome and catered to our needs.

I love this place! I went in today for the first time, got a 20% off discount because it was my first time and I ended up having Kaitlyn! She was awesome, she’s hand paints all her art from a pretty butterfly to Audrey Hepburn ! She’s freakin’ amazing! The atmosphere is nice, very energetic and friendly. I love love LOVE it its amazing! I hands down recommend it!

I was extremely pleased with my entire experience at Creating Magic. The entire staff was very friendly, and I was seen by my nail tech, Gaylee, promptly at my appointment time (they accept walk-​ins, but I didn’t want to take chances on a Saturday afternoon). I opted for the Creating Magic Pedicure (as my feet were in rough shape), and it was heavenly. I chose this pedicure because it incorporated everything I was looking for — dry file, foot soak, nail shaping, cuticle treamtment, callus remover, scrub, lotion, massage, and polish. I wanted a ‘package’ that would include these treatments, rather than having to do a bunch of add-​ons.
Gaylee did an excellent job with my calluses. She took off quite a bit but didn’t leave them tender. The foot and leg massage were fabulous. Gaylee has a great attention to detail, and my feet are now ready for summer here in Phoenix. We also had a pleasant conversation during my pedicure, and I really enjoyed my experience here. The salon itself is bright and clean, and all of the staff are friendly and professional. They have everything that you want and nothing that you don’t.
I would highly recommend Creating Magic, and I plan on coming back soon!
