how was this place not jammed pack? i walked in here last Monday afternoon in hopes of getting a mani/pedi. i am on the hunt for a new nail salon after Polished nails (which is right nearby) has just done me so wrong. (see updated review) i looked up walking distance nail salons and diamond nails pops up. not a lot of reviews but all good. i decided to give it a try. i am so glad i did. i walked in as a new client and the receptionist was so sweet. they offered water which was awesome since i walked in the vegas heat and didn't rush me at all. she told me Hoa would be doing my nails. he was the best! the massage chairs were great while i sat there. i do wish they had some magazines to read though. my blackberry kept me pretty entertained though. the best part of this pedicure was the foot massage. i am pretty sure Hoa has magical massage powers. that was the best foot massage i have ever had. why did it have to end? i was so relaxed. he is my new go-to with pedicures just for that foot massage. wow. i am dreaming about it now. as soon as the pedi is done he takes me over to this desk. by this time every employee in the salon has greeted me and asked how i was. so friendly! even the girl at the next station striked up a conversation with me while i got my mani on. again, no rush. they also don't soak your hands in water (which i love because did you know that makes your nail polish not last as long?) Hoa however did wrap each hand in a hot towel covered with plastic while he worked on the other hand. felt so good. again, another great massage. this time the hands. does he know he is removing so much stress from my life?! geesh. i need to go back weekly. he treated each nail as if it was a canvas and he was the artist. i didn't get any crazy things done just my normal "lincoln park after dark" color, but he still treated each coat like it was a masterpiece.
Hoa seriously impressed me here.
i know i will be back. they strive to do good for their customers. so friendly and the prices aren't awful either. 15 dollars for a manicure and 25 for a pedicure. if you get them together though it comes to $35. works for me. they also have a referral program that sounds great. 5 dollar credit for each client that says you sent them. (mention my name and yelp! haha)
diamond nails did me so good. i am also proud to report my color has stayed on almost a full week (hope i didn't just jinx it!) it has usually chipped by now, but i am happy to say it is still in tact. woohoo to whatever top coat they put on!
