Diamond Nails & Spa

I came to get my nails done for my wedding at the end of October 2025. I came in with an inspo picture that I loved, but I never imagined that my nail artist was going to replicate it so beautifully. I've also really only gotten my nails done one other time, so I was a little nervous with the process. I could tell how much the artist cared- if she felt the design wasn't how she wanted it to look, she would wipe it and perfect it. She also checked at each step to make sure I was happy with the results. She even took my phone so she could find close color matches to the picture I showed her. I was absolutely in love with the results and received so many compliments. When I imagined my wedding nails, this is exactly how I imagined them, and I felt it was very affordable! Thank you for helping me feel beautiful and making my day so special!

If you like excellent quality nail service in a very clean, modern, spacious environment at fair prices Diamond Nails & Spa is for you! They are efficient, show great attention to detail and have quality products you can select. This is a big salon with a lot of room, with 30 pedicure pedestal chairs plus lots of nail stations, so you are not rushed because other customers are waiting or to leave before you have time to let your nails dry or to enjoy the massage feature of the pedicure chairs… the chair control panels even have clear instructions of how to get exactly the massage you want from them instead of pushing buttons and hoping! Rather than sharing photos of my pretty pedicure, I took shots that let you take a look at how nice the salon is inside.

I’ve been here twice and the first time I had a great experience. However, I went to get acrylics today for a special event, and they made them so thick that it was painful… I am having to go somewhere else to get it removed and redone last minute now and pay for it all again. My two other friends I went with got acrylics there and theirs turned out better, so it really depends on the technician and their training, which is unfortunately not very standardized at diamond nails :( I’m really disappointed (and $80 down the drain after the tip), especially because I booked this weeks in advance and they could have put an experienced technician on the appointment—if you go there, make sure you know your tech! I will be going elsewhere from now on, as they should be much better at this price point! They also didn’t do any cuticle trimming or any sort of nail bed maintenance/cleanup, which was odd to me.

I went in to have my dip nails removed and technician named Alice is there. She was funny, she brightened my mood and I decided to stay and have her do a shellac manicure for me. She doesn’t do designs but I just wanted one color, nothing fancy and she did an excellent job. Give her a chance if you want to have a good conversation and superior service. They have other techs there that do well with designs but she does great with everything else!

I love Diamond Nails! They've been my favorite nail salon in Madison. So many options, reasonable prices, I can always get in when I need to, and friendly services. I do tend to prefer the female staff as I feel they do a better job.
