2025-11-11I’m going to see Billie Eilish and asked for some fun nails. Expectations blown out of the water like usual! I drive all the way from Des Moines for this place because they do such an amazing job each and every time! This is freehand by the way!! 10/10

2025-10-02I’m always super hesitant about getting my nails done in Ames, I haven’t found a place that I loved yet until now! I got a pedicure a couple of months ago and came back to get my nails done by Sarah. I got just classic French tips but they look amazing and I’m so pleased! You could tell she truly cares about making your nails perfect! Thank you!

2025-11-23Beautiful, clean salon with talented people! I've been here 3 times since I moved to Ames and I've had a great experience every time! The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable, the technicians are gentle but detailed! I've had pedicures and manicures here, and they've always taken great care of me! Vincent does a great pedicure! I even brought my husband for his first pedi ever and he loved it! Great salon!

2025-07-05I’ve been to many different salons and Gem Nails is BY FAR my favorite! I was looking for a new salon and I’m so glad I visited here. It’s so convenient to schedule an appointment online and they have so many amazing nail artists there you cannot go wrong with any of them. Tina did a fantastic job on my 4th of July nails. It is beautiful inside and very clean. If you are looking for a new salon definitely come to Gem Nails!
