I hardly write reviews but since the positive reviews of Scottsdale Nails enticed me to go there, I thought I'd leave my opinion. I went here for a nail emergency - they had good reviews and could get me in pronto, which was nice. Here's the "however": I went in for a gel french manicure, my usual. The place was NOT that nice. They may have done some redecorating recently, but it reeked of acetone and had a harried sweat shop atmosphere. Also, it took her (her pen name was "Tracy") twice as long as it should have - over an hour! Perhaps that's because she spent so much time sawing the heck out of my nails. Hello...? That's why I get the gels, so I can keep my nails! In addition, "Tracy" put the white shellac on so thick you could see a bump from my nails' profile. This thick coat also caused the tips to start to peel off after only a week! My gel manicures usually last nearly three weeks. What a bust! I will stick to my tried and true salon, even if I have to cancel and wait to reschedule. . . .
