Kendra has been my nail tech for almost 2 years now! From shaping your nails to the design, she gets it spot on everytime. It's always a great experience seeing her turn your nails into a beautiful canvas! I've never broken or even chipped a nail since going with Kendra. I would recommend her a million times!!
I can’t recommend this place enough! I’ve had my nails and pedicure done by Kendra and pedicures from Selena - every time has been amazing. They’re all so friendly, welcoming, and really take the time to make sure you’re happy with your service. The vibe is truly unmatched; super cute decor, great music, and just an overall relaxing, feel-good atmosphere. They even offer refreshments, which is such a thoughtful touch. I love that it’s a one-stop shop for nails and more! Since coming here regularly, I’ve actually been able to grow out my natural nails so much, they stay strong and healthy between appointments. My sets also last a long time (I could easily go over 4 weeks if I wanted to, but I usually come in sooner by choice). Everything is super clean and well-maintained, and booking is easy with little to no wait once you arrive. I always leave feeling refreshed, pampered, and so glad I came. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality service and great vibes all around!
Kendra is so accommodating and respectful, she can bring any reference photo to life. I have lived in Des Moines my whole life and have been to several salons none compare to the beauty collective! Her and her techs Selena and Christina offer a welcoming and uplifting environment. Any time I need to reschedule I assure to give her 48 hour notice and she works with me on rescheduling. It’s nice to have a reliable tech who is mutually respectful of my time as I am hers. Thank you Kendra you are so great at what you do! Highly recommend!
