Diamond Nails & Spa Reviews, Prices, Services, Photos

Like all these places, the experience is inconsistent. Personnel change. Prices go up. Cleanliness is often merely window dressing and questionable. It’s not medical grade services.

I have reservations. Shared implements and common surfaces scare me, with good reason. It takes faith which i don’t have. I don’t see the autoclaves in action.

Sanitation matters. You have to assume it’s marginally alright. Sorry folks but I’m not off the fence on notions concerning hygiene. Customers assume the risks of ubiquitous typical common infectious agents found on skin including in healthy people and the surfaces most people touch. No different than anywhere else. You can mitigate some of it.

Tuberculosis, diphtheria, typhus, measles, yellow fever, malaria, dengue, leptospirosis, chickenpox, smallpox, malaria, haemorrhagic fever, meningitis, and beriberi are most certainly not concerns there. I can’t speak for other establishments and places around the world where you’re served sewer water or people drink rain water from an old tire. Let’s be realistic and fair.

But plenty of common skin and nail infections are legitimate possible entities that theoretically albeit undocumented and unknown, easily spread in the absence of real attention to detail and the generous use of bleach on surfaces and towels, and really autoclaving the implements. An example is wart virus. At another nail salon I once saw a wart on a worker’s hand, presumed it was from a customer, and asked her to please not touch me. They were offended. I never went back. You see how easily thing can go wrong. I wish to reiterate the subject of this review is better than most other nail salons, imho, based on personal perspective and my own experiences. However that’s somewhat impossible to demonstrate or prove.

For instance, wiping surfaces down with a towel that’s already been used on a person merely spreads to the common surface whatever the prior customer had, exposing the next bloke to that. This is one of a dozen examples I’ve personally witnessed here that are red flags signaling caution, to me.

If nobody is watching and nobody of importance is regularly regulating, then of course it’s human nature to cut corners to save time and resources. That’s life. You can’t really assess how often or where it’s occurred. Even so, it doesn’t necessarily usually lead to clinical consequences or outcomes but results in nothing or goes unrecognized. We do have immune systems that are remarkable. I’m just trying not to challenge mine with too many assaulting factors or various assumptions upon its integrity.

Let’s give an example. Don’t chop raw chicken and reuse the cutting boards in one’s kitchen, and wipe up the blood with a dirty rag, then cut up vegetables on the same contaminated filthy surface. Obvious to some. Oblivious to others. Even if you do something dumb, it doesn’t necessarily mean your family gets sick every time. Most of the time nothing untoward happens.

You decide if you want to believe if there’s implementation of infection control, or how much so occurs along a gradient, existing in any strip mall nail salon. It’s a mystery to me. That’s not because i don’t know what it would look like. It’s because I can’t see say that I have had an opportunity to see in action or evaluate it.

Pedicure was top notch! However, I got dip nails and they look pretty awful compared to the first time I went… might have just been the nail tech but I will not be going back for a dip set.

I did ask about it at the end when I noticed it but I was told “it’s just the dip powder” and still got charged full price for these.

(Notice all the white dots everywhere) and no it’s not “sparkles”. Really is disappointing because these people are super nice.

Not my usual nail place but they were the only ones open on a Sunday. I got a mani-pedi and the pedicure was awesome. I got dip nails done and I love how they came out. Rounded down to 3 stars because towards the end of my nails it felt like the lady was ready to just wrap things up and tore up my cuticles with the Dremel.

the people were nice enough but they cut my sisters toenails so badly she bled and developed a nail infection from this place absolutely unacceptable. the gel polish jobs on our pedicures were lacking with polish missing from places definitely not worth the prices they charge

My best friend and I both got pedicures. Andy was fabulous. All the staff make you feel welcome and comfortable. They have a great sense of humor. The shop is clean, organized, and relaxing. Highly recommended!
