Jewel Nails Salon Altoona

Schedule an appointment online for a regular pedicure and builder gel for nails. I went to a place out of town for builder gel that has lasted over an month and wanted to get it again here in Iowa. My pedicure was mediocre compared to anywhere else I have been. My main issue is with my nails. A girl started my nails with the builder gel but never asked me if I wanted to cut my nails down or not. I let her know so she cut them and said I will shape them at the end. She finished putting the product on and then started working on another client that came in after me. Another girl came over to shape my nails and she did not shape them correctly because she did not see the shape before they were cut. The original girl came over and told her the shape but some are shorter or shaped different than others. The price I paid was not the same as what I booked on the appointment website. I did not get anything special. I paid, tipped and then went to my car to notice that builder gel was already lifting on the sides. Went back in to have someone look at it to be told they could glue it. I said that’s okay. Today one week later my nail is completely lifted from the product. I don’t not have the time to go back in to have it fixed. I would not recommend builder gel at this salon.

Eh. It was okay. I will say, the staff are very very nice and friendly. Price point is high though and my manicure and pedicure were mediocre. I had to fix when I got home. And, I paid just under $200 😳😳 I was not expecting that price especially for what I got. Again though, nice staff.

They were absolutely wonderful with my 5 and 6 year old girls. Kind, affordable and incredibly clean! Great experience!

Got my nails done by Jenny. She is amazing and friendly. Favorite nail tech I’ve found in the area. Got my toe nails done by another friendly lady but a little disappointed with how they turned out… kind of sloppy and the pedicure felt rushed. Still gave 5 stars because it is a great nail shop and will be going back.

My daughter and I booked an appointment for Saturday morning at 9:30. We booked two mani pedi. My daughter wanted shellac but I did not …I wanted French on both hands and feet, but was told that the red polish Would show up even though it had been removed. It was obvious she didn’t want to do a regular manicure and she didn’t even try to get the red polish off. She kept saying see it just won’t come up without even trying. And she got her Dremel out and didn’t even turn it up to where it would work. Then she got up and walked away, so I sat there and got the red off of my nails, but I went ahead and just got a paint the paint color because I was out of time by all the messing around. I also had asked her not to file my nails down if anything just maybe even them up a little. She proceeded to take the rough edge of the file and shave them down to the nubbins so there wouldn’t be enough for a French manicure and she ruined my nails. I did converse with the shop and with the owner and they offered to refund my money which was awesome. I appreciated that so they made things right.
