I just paid $ 25for the worst gel manicure of my life. After being rejected from my usual place because they were too busy, I went to Cindy and Danny’s which was down the street. Their selection of gel colors was smaller than most places but I found a color and let the lady know. The color she started painting was completely different than the one I chose, but with an attitude she let me choose another. I settled on one of the dark reds and she got to work. After a while I realized that she was using color 440 instead of 441 like I had asked for but she had ready almost finished my hand and I was too shy to say anything, especially after the look she have me for switching before. When she was all done and my nails should have been dry, another guy came over with some alcohol substance and began wiping my nails. My thumb smudged as a result. The other lady came back and accused me of hitting it, and from then on guided my hand like I was an idiot. When she redid my thumb she used color 441 instead of 440 that was on all of my other fingers. Also, don’t they usually add a shines coat to the top? Mine look completely unfinished. Not to mention that I could have(and often do) paint my nails much better than she did.

I had high hopes for this place since my mom lives in the area and was looking for a new location. The chair they put me in was broken so unless I wanted it to massage me(which I didn’t), you have to sit with the ball of the massager poking you in the spine. The remotes for the chairs were pretty worn and some of the buttons stuck making them hard to operate. My tech was nice, but the massage literally lasted 20 seconds and was pretty hard. Meanwhile, the TV was cranked up so they could hear it over how loud the bath part of my chair was, so once it was over, we were just listening to a super loud TV. She did an okay job on painting my toenails, but when I got home and took a closer look, I could see she’d painted portions of my skin as well. A quick rub of acetone took it off. Like I said, she was super nice and they had Essie available, but I probably won’t be back.

By far the best nail salon in town! My Mom lives in Fountain Hills and I come up from Chandler just to have my nails done there. Mike, the owner is great. He is personable, friendly and has a nice clean shop. He takes his time with each customer and is always smiling.

Cindy and Danny have moved back to Cali to be closer to their family… But the new owner(s) are doing a very nice job and a great deal – and you can put gratuity on the debit card! I’ve been here many times before and always have a great experience. The other technicians in Fountain Hills massage my calves so hard that it hurts! The nail technician gave me a nice foot massage and knew to stop scrubbing my very sensitive and ticklish feet when I squirmed. The music that they play is very soothing. I like the hot towel in winter and warm lotion… aaahhh, relaxing. See you in a few weeks for some festive color, purple today, glittery gold for good luck in the new year!

Thoughtful, courteous and professional. When I entered the salon, which is very pretty and clean, Linda asked if it would be ok if they did my manicure and pedicure at the same time — I usually don’t like this, but I was pressed for time and said yes. Both Linda and Wee took their time and did a great job. They were very interested in pleasing a new customer. I also had an eyebrow wax and was very happy with that service as well. They are affordable and nice too — go see them!
