| - I've been to several nail salons around Phoenix, Tempe, and East Mesa, and none have matched up to Marvel Nails (except, perhaps, Tips & Toes at Scottsdale and Curry--they're also quite great). At other salons, I've faced insane waits (when on the phone they promise they're not busy just five minutes before), have been left alone for 30-45 minutes with acetone on my fingers, and have received less-than-par nail services on both hands and feet. I'm not difficult to please (at all), and I won't pretend I know much about nails in general...I might get a mani/pedi once every 6 months, if that. I only go to salons with at least a 4-star rating on Yelp, and still have had some pretty nightmarish stories.
All of that being said, I really do love Marvel. I've walked in looking like a young, moneyless slob and they've treated me like a queen--their younger staff in particular are such a joy to chat with, and they always have fun things on TV. Today I got my gel taken off and a clear coat put on (for protective purposes) in less than 15 minutes from walking in to getting back in my car.
Let me be clear--don't walk in expecting a 5-star resort. But for the price and the location, you really can't do better than Marvel. I drive all the way from Mesa because I always know I'll receive quality service, and they've never let me down.
