Diamond Nails

I found this place b/​c they were open until 8pm and I’m going out of town for a graduation and needed my nails done last minute it was 7:30 PM and they told me no problem come on in when I called. My nails were done by a guy name voodoo who has the best personality and sense of humor but more than that he did an amazing job on my nails he suggested something new that I was very much against for my occasion but he was so confident I would love it and he was absolutely right! I highly recommend this place and him.

My nail place had a huge wait so I decided to try this place for the first time. I was VERY disappointed to say the least. I walked in and immediately felt strange. There were so many people working there yet it took over 5 min to even be greeted. Once «greeted» more like a «what do you need done» I was told to «go over there and gets color» from across the room. After about 5 more minutes a women gets off her cell phone, looks at me and goes «right here» as I proceed to walk over to the pedicure chair. The water was scolding and they never asked if it was ok. The lady started my feet as another came over and I showed her a pic of nails I would like mine to look like. She then had someone else come over who looked and my picture in disgust and proceeds to talk to the lady in a Asian language with the look of disgust on her face. It made me feel awful but I didn’t say anything. She started my nails and cut me not 1… not 2. not even 3x but 5x as she tried the skin around my nails. She took over 2 hours then said I need to wait for my design I wanted. After waiting for someone for about 15 min, the lady came over and did my design not even close to what I had asked. Plus the lines she made were not straight and pieces chipped off before I could even get to my house from my drive home. I’m usually pretty easy going and don’t expect much but this was a nightmare. I paid 85.00 excluding tax and will not be back.

Came in on a Friday afternoon after calling and requesting an appointment with CeCe. Got there and they said that she was not available. I was in a bind since I was going out that night with friends so I needed my nails done. So an older man did my nails. By Sunday my thumb nail had peeled off from top. So I came in on Monday and they fixed it. By Tuesday another peeled off and another on Wednesday. Very disappointed:(I will never go back! Wish I would of went in and demanded my money back.

This is a great place! It is very clean and the employees are friendly. I got a manicure and pedicure. It was a great experience. The atmosphere is relaxing, the chairs are nice and everything is so clean. The price was comparable to what I’ve paid at other businesses. I highly recommend this place!

EXCELLENT! I’ve been getting mani/​pedis here for a year now and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Huy and his wife, Dana do an awesome job. I’ve gone to several techs here and have always left with great nails. Huy’s brother also does the most intricate designs on the nails. I always leave happy! They know me by name and always make conversation. I usually get off late in the day and Huy always fits me in. All of the techs are very detailed with their work! I recently moved farther from the salon but still make the drive because the quality of work is so high… and the purple sparkly pedicure tubs are so cute. They are very honest about what i need or don’t need and I always feel well taken care of.

Love My Nails!!!
Been searching for a nail salon that do designs and finally found one. Coworker recommended her guy, Vu. Said he is «da bomb». She was right!!!
I’ve been there twice and have been very happy both times. I’ll definitely keep going back.
Vu does great designs and is extremely creative. Give him an idea and he’ll come up with his awesome version.
Place is small and cramped, but they’re moving to a new building.
If you like designs, Vu is guy to go to!!!

The staff is friendly and are always able to take you in. The first time I visited here I got the nexgen french tip, the nail guy said he would make my nails look better than the last. The design and smoothness was good but the ends of my nail beds were not clean, very jagged and uneven. I thought this was the deal when you get nexgen all the time. I came back a few weeks later and another guy asked me who did my nails because they did not look good, I said a guy here did them (he wasn’t there at the time). Again my nails were even and smooth and he worked really hard on making the ends of my nail needs smooth and even, they were a lot better but I noticed he over wheeled on all my nails and left and indentation. This last time I came in I was done with having nexgen on my nails wanted it off and decided to get a pedicure and manicure. I decided on a nexgen removal and regular manicure along with the $ 32 pedicure. She was an older woman I think the owner of the shop. The cuticles on my toes grow very fast and I need them cleaned regularly. This is the first time I got a pedicure here. When she used the tool to push back my cuticles it seemed she was just doing the motion but not actually doing it, so when it came to cutting of my excess cuticles it seemed like it was being ripped off. At home when I do this i make sure to use the cuticle cutter without pulling up because it does not cut out but rips the skin instead. I play sports and I get calluses on my left foot mostly when she was using the loofah to scrub it she left it torn up and didn’t pay any attention to it until I pointed it out, I still had to smooth out or at home. When she took the nexgen off my nails it still had the indentation from the previous layer and they are not smooth. The paint job is not clean or smooth either. The massage and hot stones were the best part of my visit. All and all this looks like something I could of done at home by myself. My bill was $ 60 I was charged $ 28 for a manicure! I like to get pampered every once and a while but things like this happens too often. I just want to find a place that pays attention to detail and give top quality service. I’m pretty sure this nail salon has its gems and the staff is friendly, and even though I was highly referred here i won’t return.

My daughter and I came here on a Saturday and it was super busy. The staff still took their time with us both, which was great! I’ve gone to the surrounding salons and we are usually rushed on the weekends so this is important to me. Very friendly staff! Will definitely come back again as the deluxe pedicure for $ 32 was worth it!

I have had nothing but great experiences at Diamond. I usually go to Voo and he does an amazing job. He does a great job at making my nails look different, which I LOVE. I usually get nexgen and have never been disappointed. As far as the reviews of being unclean, I have to disagree.

Tried this place on several occasions since I lived around the corner, the location was great. Had nails done the first time & they looked nice. It was a bit pricier than other nail salons.
My next visit was a bit disappointing because my male nail tech seemed ill & couldn’t quit coughing. My nails were uneven & the application on powder nails didn’t seem to last more than a week (this was about a year ago).
Over a spring weekend this year my girls were bored so I decided to try again because they had openings for all of us. Well I have specific instructions about my 8yo daughter & her friend to the nail tech. Given my back was to them as I got my nails done. To make a long story short, I got charged almost $ 200 for all 3 of us. Apparently the children’s «pedicure» allows add ons (nail art, stone massage, & a manicure!) by children no matter what the parent instructed the nail tech. VERY disappointed & will never return!

The salon is more modern and very clean overall (aside from the restroom). The polish selection was pretty good but there were a lot of older O.P.I polishes that had been thinned out. I’ll bring my own color next time. The basic pedicure was relaxing and my feet feel amazing. My manicure was done while I sat in the pedicure chair, which can be a time saver if you’re in a hurry, but I think it takes away some of the relaxation having to twist and turn awkwardly. I’d ask to do it separate next time, but it came out perfect! The service was professional, friendly and prompt and I’m super pleased with my mani/​pedi :)

I’m giving it 4 stars for quality and 2 for atmosphere. Ann is the best for NexGen nails which can easily last me three weeks if needed with my busy life of kids and horses. They are great in the summer when we spend a lot of time in the pool with no lifting and very minimal fading. Cindy ticks the pedicures with her hot stone massage that’s $ 25! I just completely relax while I have a glass of wine. It’s great! The salon needs a new paint job but it’s clean and they take good care of you. Great quality for the price

The first time I came in I was in a hurry. They greeted me and got me in a chair with a color picked out and wine in hand I was good to go. They were nice helpful and my gel Polish stayed on for a good amount of time. I got many compliments on it.
Second go around was not as wonderful. The service was okay. Had to ask for wine this time and the lady was rushing on my nails. The next two days the gel polish starts to come off of all my nails. I noticed it felt thin.
Third time I come in I’m the only person there. I tell the lady I want white finger nails and toe nails. After it takes her 15 minutes to set up she starts my nails. No wine. Didn’t even feel like asking. When they are done I notice my toes are a yellow off white color and my finger nails are a light blue shade.
I’ve sense gone back about 6 times and have had really great experiences. All the people who work there know how I like my nails, wine and they are very friendly. Besides the service the product they offer is nice. They have great powder nails and a large range of colors. I brought a friend here and she absolutely loved the power nails. They grow out well and they are actually good for your real nails. Love love love the powder nails.

Best salon in McKinney!!!
For all the people complaining about not «getting a drink»? It’s not a bar, not everyone drinks and some people get offended if you ask if they want alcohol. For the people complaining that they were «rushed», did you have an appointment or just walk in. If you were a walk in, beggars can’t be picky as they were probably fitting you in between actual appointments. This place is always busy and if you are that picky about your nails (which I am) you would have a specific person you go to all the time, and wait if they are busy or out of town or even better you can make an appointment (most days they can get you in the same day if you call ahead). Or you would say something at the time. Why didn’t you say something before you left if you didn’t like the nail job, you could have asked for someone to fix the issue (although it does look like you picked at the polish to make it look bad) How do we know you got it done there and that you just don’t work for another salon? Walk ins usually get the newbies, that’s just the pecking order. I have followed Dana and her family from their previous salon and I am always happy (for years) with their work (when you find a good person, you stick with them, not look for the discount of the week), they fit you in if you need a fix and treat you like family. You get what you pay for. You want cheap, you get cheap. You want quality, you pay for it. They are a business, open to the public, not just waiting for you. If you had such horrible experiences, don’t go back, plain and simple. They are always cleaning, but it’s kind of hard to clean and mop when people are in the salon and they don’t get a break in between clients (they do clean the pedicure chairs and sterilize everything before the next person sits down). You try working 7 days a week from 9am-​9pm (sometimes earlier and sometimes later) with no break, no lunch on most days. That is how busy they are. They are very sanitary and always cleaning, if there is an issue, tell them and they will fix it plain and simple. Wouldn’t that be better than just complaining and not giving them a chance to make you happy?
Just a thought.

Had a terrible experience. For $ 32.00, I don’t expect to get shoved out of a chair so fast. The lady I had forgot to offer a drink, decided I needed a paraffin wax treatment and burned me, instead of the peppermint massage I thought I was getting, she also kept asking if I wanted an eyebrow wax, or manicure. I was in an out in 30 mins. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

I tried out this place after it was recommended by a few neighbors.
I’m really picky about pedicures and usually hate to get them due to that (most hurt), but I was happy with this experience. The massage was really nice (they use hot stones) and she scrubbed my feet really well (usually they don’t get the heel well).
I also got a manicure and was satisfied with it. For a mani and pedi, it cost $ 35. Fairly priced.
I’ll definitely be back.

Have been going for many years … Dana and her whole family are wonderful … always get exceptional service in a friendly atmosphere … love to go and just relax.

It’s so hard to find a good nail place these days because there’s one on every corner. I have a problem of getting consistent service from them. One visit is fantastic and then the next is terrible. I will say that my pedicures are usually good, but it’s the manicure that I really hate.
All that I want is for them to clip my nails as short as possible, file them round and then buff them. I always end up with dry and split cuticles in a day. The buff is dull and I felt like why did I even bother with getting a manicure. I guess the problem is that I get a different person each visit and really can’t remember who did my nails the time before. They don’t have name tags or business cards so that I can request them again.

Arrived on a Wednesday at 4pm. Got directed to a chair and immediately started relaxing. My daughter got giddy when she saw the kid’s pedi chair and hoped right in.
I got the deluxe pedicure and it sure was deluxe! Includes parafin foot treatment and hot stone leg massage and hit towel wrap. Good selection of polish colors. OPI and China Glaze. I would prefer Essi but no big deal.
I had all 3 kids with me. The technicians coo’d at the baby and asked my son a couple questions. They didn’t mind at all that I brought them in, stroller and all.
The pedi was great and even a week later looks like brand new. The total cost for me was $ 32 and $ 10 for my daughter who got toes and fingers painted complete with a flower design and little jewel on thumbs and big toes.
Will absolutely return!
