Emma's Nails

Absolutely amazing I got an acrylic full set and I got exactly what I wanted. They were so sweet.

What I asked for and what I got was spot on!! Great hand at the small details. I've received so many compliments on them!

Went here because my sister in law bought me a gift card. I loved Elle! She nailed my inspiration and almond shape I was looking for. I received so many compliments and will definitely be returning!

Just a basic pedi and an acrylic fill with gel polish for me this nail trip. What *wasn’t* basic was the gentleness and attention to detail Eric showed today when taking care of my nails. Also, definitely the best pedicure foot/leg rub I have ever had. Worth mentioning is the calm and peaceful atmosphere and decor of the shop. A lovely experience from start to finish. Thanks so much!!

I left a review 5 years ago so I thought I would update it to say this is still the best nail salon I’ve been to. I regularly get my nails done and can’t remember a time where I had an issue. As you can see, I keep my nails short and Vince does a great job with the length.

My fiancé and I get pedicures from time to time. My fiancé has rough and ticklish feet. Kelly does an amazing job on fixing those man feet for him!

I always recommend Emma’s Nails.

I’ve been to 7 different nail salons since I moved to Des Moines a year ago. “T” at Emma’s nails gives the BEST powder dip manicure. They’re not bumpy and thick like so many others I’ve had. She takes time to be thorough and detailed - she’s a gem!

Emma’s Nails is a very clean salon that does a great job on your nails! I have tried many different places in Ankeny and this one beats all the others on cleanliness! Price is reasonable and service was great! Give Emma’s a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Super happy with my experience here! T, Vince, and Kelly are all so friendly and talented, and they take the time to get things right on the first try. Definitely recommend this shop!

Very friendly conversations! Great quality nails had absolutely no issues. Reasonable prices! Best place in town!

I absolutely love this place. I followed my nail tech here from another salon, and safe to say we both love it there. Everyone there is amazing, and do an amazing job. I have recommended it to all my friends and have gotten a couple to go there regularly now. Definitely recommend.

Vince and Kelly are wonderful! They treat you like a member of the family. They are honest about wait time so you don't waste time waiting (best if you make an appt). I always look forward to my visits and the great conversations we have! I've had no issues with my nails and thorough enjoy the pedicures!! With a side of wine. :)

1st time at Emma's. Friendly place. Owners and employees are so friendly. Very clean.
Tech did a fantastic shop on my feet and hands.

Have loved every visit we have made there. And we have been there many times since they opened. They are great with my 6 year old. My shellac manicures have lasted at least a week longer than from any other salon's. The nail art is always beautiful and delicate.

Nice & friendly people, great pedicure chairs, as chatty or quite as you want for your time there (I like to read), I've never had a negative experience here. I'd recommend to anyone waiting a pedicure. (I Never get nails done, but they seem to do a nice job from what I've seen)

Clean, friendly, and professional is what you will find at Emma's Nails. I have gone there for years and appreciate their fine salon. I usually go with a girl friend so we can chat and they always make sure we can sit together. My nails, I do the shellac nails, never have flaws or bubbles. I have broke a nail and came into the salon for a repair and they refused to allow me to pay (So I gave a tip!). Another time, I picked the wrong color and after a day, I had to go back and get it changed because I didn't like it. Again, they did not want to charge me for the color change. I plan on using and recommending their salon for years to come. Thank you Emma's Nails!

I've been going to Emma's for years. Vince and Kelly are great. Kelly does my nails. I have horrible, thin, weak nails due to a medical issue. Kelly is the only nail technician I've ever had that knows exactly what my nails need, and she is very gentle! Another thing I love about this place is that they all speak English very well. I've been to other salons where they can't speak to me or understand what I say, thus not getting the service I ask for. So frustrating! Thanks Emma's, you are all great!!

Very nice employees! Although my nails end up being a little shorter then I thought they would be i still love them! The lady who did my toes kept asking if I liked it. Definitely going to return!!

Friendly and talented staff. Had manicure with dip nails and pedicure. Quality work. Lots of colors to choose from. I then had my brows done by Kelly. Wow! What a beautiful job! She did an ombre effect that looks do natural. I'll be back!!!

Giving five stars based on my experience with Kelly. Super nice, very professional, took time to explain everything she did. Had microblading done. Was very nervous but felt confident with explanation of procedure. Plan to go again

My first time here and it was WONDERFUL!!! My nails and toes look amazing!!! The price is very good, the staff is very friendly and goes above and beyonbeyond to do exactly what is asked!!! Even the other patrons at the salon were friendly and entertaining as I am new to town!!! I will definitely be back regularly and recommend this salon tho everyone!!!
