Ankeny Nails

"I have been at this place few times and my experience was okay. The staff is very friendly and I like the pedicure. But last time I was very disappointed. They charged me $70 for a refill which I think is crazy! My nail polish started peeling after a few days and I lost my nail in a little over a week! I couldn't really enjoy having nice nails for more than 3 days! When you raise the prices, the service should be better too! This was the last time I visited this place."

"Worst pedicure of my life today. I work on my feet all day everyday and enjoy my time for pedicures. I tried Ankeny Nails today and they barely scrubbed my heel callous. I asked them to make the nails even and not jagged after seeing the shellac. The older woman doing my pedicure kept saying she didn’t know what I meant. A younger woman came over and somewhat fixed the shellac but obviously I was still disappointed in my toenails. They are not even filed evenly across. The lady checking me out asked if it was ok, and I very sadly said just ok. She looked at my toes and asked what was wrong, I gave her a quick summary of they’re not even and the shellac was done extremely sloppy. She asked if I was paying cash or card. Worst $60 basic shellac pedicure I’ve ever seen and experienced."

"Felt they were pushy to up sell on a pedicure. Didn't really take their time, like other places I have been. Hard to tell in the picture but my nails are not filed evenly."

"While they do their best to accommodate you, an appointment is recommended. Wife and I made an appointment and they got us right in when we arrived. She got a manicure and had her eyebrows waxed. The nails look great and Nancy does very detailed work. I had a long needed pedicure (note to men, give it a try, they are amazing) and my feet were rough. They have a Pearl add-on which adds some additional moisturizing and lower leg/foot massage and a paraffin wax treatment. The chairs are very comfortable and the massaging options on them are great. COVID PROTOCOLS: They seem very concerned about COVID and prevention. Ask you to wash your hands upon arriving. There is hand sanitizer and a plastic divider at the front stand. There are plastic dividers at each of the manicure tables."

"Called in for the dip, I'm positive they've just started offering dip service. Asked for coffin tip shape, got square. Asked her to shape them thinner at the ends and finally looked okay. Each nail tip is slightly crooked one way or the other. After I asked her to reshape the first time her whole attitude changed and she was less willing to be friendly. Ended up filing my skin a few times so I pulled away but she just continued. She piled up the dip at the cuticle line and then filed it off which was painful. Had to get her to take off the top coat and fill in a large gap in one of my nails. Over all nails are lumpy and shaped poorly. I had to clean up my own nails after I left. Honestly, they are significantly cheaper than other places so if you don't mind everything I've touched on above they are like C+ average."
