My first visit to San Tan Nails & Spa was ok. I came in to get a gel manicure and pedicure. I came in on a Thursday afternoon so it was slow and I was seated right away. They had a lot of staff available and many of them were standing out a back door talking, but if more customers came in they were quick to assist. I had two technicians work on my nails at the same time, so it was a quicker process.
My main concern came during my pedicure. I had asked the technician if all the gel colors had matching regular colors and he stated they did. So he got started on the foot massage while another technician did my fingernails. After she completed my nails, he went to get the matching regular polish and found they didn't have it. I'm not sure if they were just out of it or if it didn't come with matching color. The two technicians worked to find a comparable color, but in the end the colors are slightly off. Not a huge deal, but I would have liked to have known in advance to possibly choose a different color.
I did like the leg massage, he used hot stones for part of it which I've never had done before. That was an enjoyable experience. The overall appearance of the nails are pretty good. The gel polish is smooth and even. The regular polish had a glitter coat and one toe has sort of a rough feel from uneven glitter application. I am new to the area so I will probably try some other places and not commit to this one. But the overall service was decent.
They do offer a discount if you pay in cash and they prefer all tips paid in cash. I didn't know this and they were more than happy to include the tip in my charge since I informed them I'd never been in before.
