For Nails Only

This is the only salon in Scottsdale/​Phoenix I’ll go to since moving here. I tried another place once and was only left disappointed. They are the best!!!

I recently moved to North Scottsdale and tried a few different nail salons… and I have to say I love this one. I read the review from 7÷2÷2012 and they must have also because they have improved greatly… I get a gel french manicure on my hands and it totally lasts 2 weeks… I could even probably do 3 weeks. Lisa is wonderful… I personally don’t like a lot of chit chat… and she respects that. She’s also very efficient and creative. I pick the color for my toes, and let her decide on a design for my big toe’s, and I have never been disappointed. And she massages my arms, hands, legs and feet to the point where I am so relaxed I could fall asleep. It is an absolute treat to go here every other week… and I look forward to the pampering I get :)

I give this place 2 stars for the overall experience. For Gel Polish, I would give them 1 star. They have a small color selection and don’t carry the latest OPI Gel Polish. Unfortunately, I’ve tried gel polish from here twice and each time it lasted only a week — at best! Since they don’t have the traffic as some of the busier salons, they let their polish get «old» and it affects the longevity of your mani or pedi.
For pedicure’s, I would give this place 3.5 stars. I personally still go here for pedicure’s only and I bring my own polish. For a simple manicure, they tend to over file the top of my nails and I end up getting a lot of breakage after their manicure’s, so I no longer let them touch my fingernails… toes only! The best girl for toes was Anna, who — unfortunately, is gone. She fixed some severe ingrown toenails of some friends of mine. New girls have replaced her. The new girls seem nice and do a decent job.
A big plus for this salon is that they do run ON TIME! If you have an appointment, you will be seen on time. How do they stay on time? If you are late for an appointment, they will either cut your appt. short or they won’t see you. I see this as a plus.
The owner and her husband could take a cue from their employee’s on how to be friendly.
Bottom line: Bring your own polish and go here for «toes only» — for a good price and on time pedicure.
(This is the Salon located in the Safeway shopping center right across from Big League Dugout.)
