Campbell Nails Spa — Local services in Tucson

I had tried a free lance nail artist who completely messed up my nails and I needed to go to a nail salon ASAP to get them done correctly. I needed to get my old nails taken off and a new acrylic set added on. A friend of mine had suggested campbell nails and so I decided to try them. I called and made an appointment and they were very nice over the phone and took me in at 6:40 pm when they closed at 7pm. Ray was a nice guy and did a phenomenal job on my nails. I've never met anyone so detailed and patient. My only issue is that when I went to pay Ray he charged me $42 for my full set and the taking off of my old acrylics which he told me was $5. It sounded so expensive, but I went ahead and paid because I had never been there and didn't even look at prices when I walked in. I called them the day after to ask for the price on a full set of acrylic nails to check the price and the man that answered the phone said $22. Therefore what I should've paid total was $27 plus a tip. I'm very disappointed in the fact that I was taken advantage financially. Especially when I told them I was a student at the UofA and should've gotten 10% off of my total.

All in all the experience was great until I had to pay an unfair...

I went to get a manicure and pedicure for a black tie event. I went on a Thursday evening (5pm) and was worried I wouldn't be seen because I hadn't made an appointment and it was 2 hours before closing time. My wait time was about an hour, which seems reasonable considering I had no appointment and all the techs had been busy when I arrived. My tech was profession and took time with my pedicure. Sometimes at other places the service has felt rushed, as if they just wanted to get me out of there and get another butt into the chair - not here. After my pedicure, I had my manicure done. You should know that you will be asked to pay BEFORE the color is applied- I'm assuming this is so you don't mess up your nails while digging in your purse for your wallet with freshly polished nails. I used regular nail polish in a shimmery nude on both my toe nails and finger nails. It's been 5 days and my nails are looking ok (2 chipped at the tips a bit), but considering I work with my hands and I requested regular nail polish I think this is pretty good. To top it all off, my nail tech stayed an hour past closing time to make sure the work was done right and that is wasn't a rush job. Going back today for a full set...

WISH I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS!! I have been getting my nails done for years from multiple places, and this was by far the WORST experience I have ever had. I have never been to this salon and wanted a simple acrylic full set. The lady made my nails so think even after I asked for thin, natural nails. Half of the appointment was spent sanding down the thick overlay. Then I noticed that my thumb nails were two different lengths!! After asking her to fix them, she started ripping the acrylic off to which my nail started to bleed. She tried to apply polish without having me wash the dust off and had to redo the coat because she kept smudging it. Very unhappy and not qualified to perform false nails. DO NOT GO HERE, you will be disappointed!! I tell everyone to stay far away if you want to keep your nails from...
