Spring Nail Salon

Went here with daughters for 4 pedicures, a manicure and a gel manicure. I waited over 20 minutes after pedicure to leave and my toes weren’t dry. Must use old polish. My daughter had the worst gel manicure. Missing sides of nails. Thinned as it got to the edge. Plus it wasn’t properly uv cured and chipped within an hour. Pathetic! Terrible quality. Owner had us return to look at it for a refund. When we got back he wanted is to sit and wait 15 minutes to have them redone. No thank you. He offered a $ 20 refund on a $ 130 purchase. I paid more in a tip than he paid in refund. Go at your own risk.

Worst pedicure experience I’ve ever had. From start to finish the pedicure took about 12 minutes. The owner didn’t even finish my pedicure, he had this really young looking boy finish… They didn’t cut my cuticles and my nail polish was only on the tips of my nails… Seemed like I got a French tip… Surprised they didn’t charge extra… So frustrating. Wish I could give zero stars.

I wish I could leave 0 stars. I went in today just to get my gel nail polish removed-I’ve had it done multiple times at other places. The owner did my nails and it was the worst experience. He only got the color off-​not the glue that holds the gel in place leaving my nails very rough. He made me bleed by simply attempting to buff my nails out. He offered to clip my nails and they are so uneven and jagged that I had to go home and file them. In addition, I had to file the glue off my nails and rebuff them just to make them okay again. All of this for $ 10 and the job was t even done correctly or completely. Awful service that cost me more money after I left.

Quick and great looking shellac nails! Staff very friendly and helpful! Looking more forward to coming back.

You get what you pay for here. Minimal color selection and what they do have is very old. The quality of work is substandard at best.

Very Nice family salon. Love the massage chairs. It’s right off the strip near the school. They have a clean shop. Very friendly. Not over priced for being so close to the school.

If I could give this place NO stars I would. I went in for a Manicure. I keep my nails long and just wanted them filed and colored. My nails were dipped in warm tap water (no soap), «massaged» with two drops of funky pink lotion and then my nails were «filed» in a way that made them all crooked. When I went to pay the man insisted I pay in cash and leave a cash tip! –_–

HORRIBLE PLACE WILL RIP YOU OFF. tried to charge me $ 40 for full set acrylic. I walked out with the tips of my fingers burned by the electric file. Ive gotten my nails here before for the sake of distance but they always rush you and it lifts immediately. Absolutely zero customer service. They are so rude and impolite. AVOID AT ALL COST.

Cheap and fast. Not the best place I’ve ever been to, but the people are very nice. Close to the U of A campus so it is definitely convenient! Nice place to go.

Nope. The guy seemed upset that I didn’t want a gel manicure. The gal that did my nails was lovely and nice, but the manicure wasn’t very good. It was so beyond chipped after 2 days that I had to take it off. To top is all off, it cost more than I have become accustomed to in NYC. When I left, I stopped by CVS and picked up some nail polish. Looks like this gal is doing home manicures from now on.

This is the crappiest place I’ve ever been to. And I’m usually not picky at all when it comes to nail salons.
The lady did my nails was in a rush, and didn’t put on cuticle remover. I love getting my nails done on a regular basis, so I know the drill. Even after I asked her to clean the cuticle, she kept saying she can’t cut anymore. And that’s cuz she didn’t put on any cuticle remover!!!
I would never recommend this place to anyone unless you don’t care about the service at all.

My only complaint is when I got a pedi the water wasn’t that hot. Other than that, great service.

I wasn’t able to get a mani/​pedi at home before my trip to Tucson so I knew I had to get my nails done upon arrival. I came to this shop as it was right across from the restaurant I ate at for late lunch (Sinbads).
The lady who did my nails was pleasant. They had no other customers and I was in a rush so asked if the other free girl could start on my shellac so I could get out of there on time.
I chose the turquoise/​teal color shellac and unfortunately, they didn’t have a matching polish for the toes so went to gray. I’m accustomed to shops having the matching toe polishes for the hand shellac. Told the lady she need to get the matching polish because it makes a difference.
The shop looked clean and the pedicure chairs were comfy. I don’t do the massages on the chair because they hurt more than it does feel good.
I’m sure I’d be back, especially since they are located on E University Ave which is conveniently located near some of my fave restaurants when I’m in Tucson.

Not the best place to get a Mani/​pedi, the man that did my pedi looked almost annoyed by it, good massage chairs though, the lady that did my Mani was very nice but did not do a great job with my nails and asked me to stand up and go wash my hands after she applied lotion, weird!
Somehow I have gone there twice just because I needed my nails done and could not get an appointment anywhere else.

My experience here was good (and no, I do not work there, nor am I friends with anyone that does). Friday was the day before my wedding and I decided to spoil myself with a shellac manicure. The lady who did my nails, Ngan Kim (Victoria) was very professional, clean, and easy to talk to. My nails turned out perfectly, and though it is clearly not some amazing spa, they do exactly what they should. Seat you, do your nails, give you a hand massage, and let you go on your way.

Somehow I keep coming back to this place, because it’s so darn convenient – I walk by it on my way to work. And then I somehow end up inside. I blame it on the electric projectors I teach with, which project my fingers, GIANT, in front of the class when I point to a line in a handout. And then walking home… sigh. Today was the most recent time I was suckered in.
Relaxing? Not so much. The last few times I’ve been here, they’ve been blasting «Keeping up with the Kardashians,» in the main area, so I’ve had to listen to the Kardashians fighting with each other. I think today’s argument (very dramatic) was about one sister not wanting a mayonnaise mask.
All the people that work here are very sweet, however. There’s one older woman in particular who is very kind.
You get a (small) discount on a pedicure if you have a Cat Card, so $ 20 total, pre-​tip. Today I stopped in just for polish on my toes, and was charged $ 10.
Make sure to bring cash, because they charge you extra for using a credit card.

I got a terrible manicure here. I feel bad saying it, because the people there were very nice and friendly, but the quality of the work was terrible. The girl (she couldn’t have been older than 19) who did my nails didn’t let the coats dry in between so there were bubbles, was so rough with my cuticles that afterwards I had a cut, and didn’t put polish on the whole nail so there were streaks. There are many better options for a low price in Tucson.

Spend your money elsewhere. This place just gets you in and out quickly. They do not pay attention to details. My left big toenail was cut crooked and I didn’t notice til I was putting my sandals on. I complained and they fixed it but I promise I will never go back. I would rather spend more money on a better quality, more relaxing pedi.

Keep reading if you want an HONEST review. 3 or 4 stars for this place — NO WAY. Unilocalers — you really let me down on this one…
Keep walking if you see this place.
Ok, clean — sort of. The instruments were not in a clean package like every place I’ve ever been (and No, you don’t have to go to a fancy spa for this)
Cheap — OMG — I don’t think so. $ 35 for mani/​pedi? $ 26 for pedi alone?
Friendly — maybe a little — offered the woman next to me cold water — me — nothing.
Rarely people there — right that is because they barely do the job at all much less a good job. Bells & whistles — so far from that it isn’t funny.
Convenient — that is the only thing — close to campus.
For the actual experience: they didn’t even get all the old nail polish off. They barely even cleaned the top of the nails, they didn’t clean under the nails AT ALL, they barely even cut anything, the foot scrub was so un-​enthusiastic it was barely noticeable, and for the grand finale, sloppy with the polish. My daughters manicure was a total mess. The pedicures were a C-​.
Over all experience D–

I’ve been here three times and every time because it was close to the campus and therefore very convenient to run over to. Everyone is very friendly inside and the salon is very clean. It’s never been busy when I’m in there (usually during the Noon-​4PM time slot) which is nice since it’s in such a busy area.
That being said, the two star description fits perfectly. «Meh. I’ve experienced better.» It’s not a particularly great deal — a mani/​pedi with a flower design on my big toe usually costs $ 46 (not including tip). Like another reviewer mentioned — be prepared for the $ 1 fee if you pay by credit/​debit card. They do have a «membership discount» card that you can get stamped after each visit and receive $ 5 off your 6^th visit.
During my second visit, the older gentleman with the glasses clipped a toenail so short he drew blood — that was Not Fun. The quality of the pedicure is decent, but I probably won’t ever get a manicure there again. Each time my nails were slightly ragged at the edge (they didn’t buff after shaping them) or the polish (I always get a sheer pink tint) would be chipped within a day or not cleaned up from the cuticles/​skin. If the price was cheaper I wouldn’t complain — but since I’m paying what I consider to be a ‘normal’ price, rather than a ‘steal’ or a cheap ‘deal’ — I do expect a ‘normal’ job. Each time, even though the shop was nearly empty, I felt rushed… which is OK if there’s a line — I totally understand the need to move people through to make money. But when the place is empty except for two customers… it’s not that great to get a rush job, even with a $ 5 off card.
