4 SEASONS NAILS & SPA in Des Moines, IA

Y’all. Stop playing. Go see Sandy.

I have never had my nails last as long as they do when she does my nails. She’s very talented at what she does. My first set she did lasted for 5 weeks(the butterfly nails). The valentines set lasted a month(on my real nails).

Most relaxing nail salon in town. These chrome nails are absolutely stunning! The upgraded pedicures are worth every penny.

Update: Dip nails with calium and vitamins will save your nails, ladies! I got a new set today, and I could NOT believe how strong this made my natural nails. Vivian has extreme attention to detail when it comes to manicures. She went beyond my expectations and even stayed past close to ensure her art was perfect. Your time was more than appreciated, Vivian!

This is a great place to get a manicure and pedicure! The pedicure is so relaxing — I have tried many different packages that they offer. Angel does a great job.

I have had a few issues with my nails cracking after I get a manicure but my nails are super thin and the owner is always super helpful with finding me a solution and a nail tech that can help me out.

They also own Paris Bahn Mi next door which is also delicious and you get a discount there if you show your receipt from 4 Seasons! Highly recommend.

Kasey and Doan are always the best!!! For over 2 years they have always done awesome work! We are so relaxed when we leave with our beautiful Mani pedi’s with shellac and dip. I would never go anywhere else. Thank you for the good work and great prices! We have also seen Angela and Angel and they are just as amazing. Thank you 4 Seasons for hiring such great people. You will always have our business as long as these 4 are working.

The first two times I went, service was exceptional and my nails were beautiful!

Two days ago, I went in for a manicure and they were crazy busy. I didn’t mind waiting. The tech got to my turn and things went downhill quickly. I asked for a dip French manicure, with clear base and white tip. He was very rough in the filing. When he was done I couldn’t believe what I was looking at! It looked like small bubbles or debris under all of the clear parts. Several of them were filed uneven shapes, and all the white tips were uneven. He knew it was bad cuz he asked several times in broken English if I was happy. I wasn’t but left and went home because I am inexperienced with manicures and thought perhaps my expectations were too high. I consulted my mom and friend who get a lot of manicures and they reassured me that what I received was unacceptable.

I tried to call 4x over the next hour and their phones went right to a full voicemail box. So I went in. (While dealing with all this, others commented about phones being offline and the front desk said “they’ve been ringing just fine”) I asked to speak to a manager and the front desk staff (who always looks super angry) asked what was wrong. I showed her and told her I was unhappy with my service. She asked me to sit and wait because they were packed, very busy. I didn’t mind that.

Another lady comes over after about 10+mins and asks to see what was wrong. I show her and she said she’ll help me soon. When I was finally seated, I wasn’t asked to wash my hands first like I normally am. She started by filing my dip down (and hitting my skin with the drill several times. I almost yelled “OW!”) and reapplying a top coat to see if that would fix it. It didn’t work. She didn’t listen when I told her I wanted the dip redone. So she offered to just put a gel manicure over the top since the dip was already applied and would be strong. I asked if that would work okay because I do a LOT of dishes everyday. She said it would be fine. I selected a color and when she applied it to one nail to test it, I realized it was see through sparkly, so the dip underneath would show through. I told her that I would choose something else and she was just like, “I’ll put on another coat don’t worry!” and she proceeded to glop some more on.

In the process of her doing coats of gel polish, she got up more than 6 times because she was running the appointment scheduling. Says not one word to me each time she got up just walks away. Towards the end, she cut all my cuticles and made me bleed 3 times! In her filing my nails she was very rough on the sides of my skin. She was not at all focused on what she was doing the whole time, too busy worrying about her scheduling. I’m not going back. They did “fix” it for free.

Photos attached: purple with gold glitter is the one manicure I LOVED. White French manicure is the train wreck. Sparkly greenish is what she put over it.

Is it better than it was? Yes. Am I happy with any of the service? No.
