I have gone to Iris Nails for many years, but have noticed a significant downgrade over the past 12 months. The actual nail service was fine, but the salon itself is absolutely filthy! The dust and grime throughout is disgusting. I hope they sterilize their tools properly. Not going back! Read Less

Price is right, but the service left a lot to be desired. I was there just under two hours. For a regular pedicure and a gel mani. This service would normally take an hour or less in other salons. I waited for a while for the woman to arrive to start, and then she wasn't very quick. The part that really turned me off is when she answered a personal call while doing my nails and continued to have a very personal and what should have been private conversation for the rest of my long appointment. It took longer because she was sidetracked. If you want to talk on the phone, please do that while you don't have a customer. It was incredibly unprofessional, and mostly, just rude. My toes are a bit messy but the gel is ok. She wanted to file the tips at the end because she didn't do it the right way, and so several ends are scuffed. Very frustrating. I will not go back.

Paid $35 plus tip for a gel manicure that didn't even last a week and a half. The polish was almost see-through and all of my nails are chipping. I told the woman who did my nails that gel chips easily for me and she assured me that she would do it in a way so that my nails wouldn't chip right away. They started chipping not even a week after I got the manicure. I am super disappointed and will not be going back. Read Less

I always had a good experience with Iris Nails - until today.  I will never go back again.  I had a 10:15 pedi appt for my 96-year old mother.   We got there at 10:16 and a young girl showed her to her chair and then continued to sort through towels and whatever chores she was doing.  It wasn't until 10:30 and I had asked who was doing her nails that she started working on my mother. Not only was she very rude and impersonal she was very rough with my mother even though I told her to be gentle.The other woman there was just as off-hand.  We were treated as if we were an intrusion to their day.

I went in on a recommendation from a friend today. I made an appointment last week because they were booked up until Tuesday which, I thought was a good sign.  However I was not prepared for the rushed and painful treatment I experienced today. Kathy was abrasive both in mannerism and in her treatment with my rebase. I did not feel like she valued my business. Also the smell of chemicals were quite strong. I will not be returning.

The girl I had was quick yet thorough for my pedi and shellac mani. Everyone in the establishment was polite and spoke English to each other for the most part as well.   If I ever visit Boulder again I will make a point to go back.   Most importantly my busted ass hands and feet feel pretty again and I did not receive an infection. All tools were clean and sterile! Read Less

I love this place!  A friend brought me here about 2 years ago and I was impressed by the staff, the environment and the quality of service as well as the selection.  The massage chairs are new and actually give me a great, relaxing massage.  I go in for a pedicure and gel manicure every few weeks.  It took me awhile to find the perfect person for me (Holly) but once I did, I always request her.  I'm not sure why Blair S. didn't like her but she gives me the_best_leg/foot massage I've ever had and she's painstaking about every step in the process.  I feel like she cares about the job she's doing - I never feel like she's rushing.  The only problem I ever have is choosing what color to pick from because there are so many to choose from!  They take walk-ins but I usually call ahead and I never have to wait.

The end product AKA my painted toenails were great. But for me, a spa pedicure is about the journey, not the destination. I went with a good friend. We began at the same time and her experience lasted 30 minutes longer. Mine was quick, rushed, and included a terrible massage. I won't be returning here. If you DO go here, don't go to Holly. Read Less

The salon itself is clean, comfortable, and doesn't reek of nail polish remover like some other salons, they also have an awesome selection of colors in regular polish and gel polish.The main reason I continue to come here though is that it is close to my house and the estheticians know me and are super friendly when I come in. It's a great place to go if mani/pedis are part of your beauty routine. Read Less

I have been going to Iris Nails for about a year now. Sadly, I must report that the quality of service has been steadily declining. My last service, which was a Gel Manicure and a Polish Change for my toes, was so rushed that it was not only poor quality, but an overall uncomfortable experience. I have since taken my business to a place a friend recommended to me, Tiffany Nails. There is no comparison between the professionalism and quality of service. I will not be heading back to Iris Nails anytime soon. Read Less

I could not disagree more with the other reviews. Iris nails is my go-to pedicure place. They do a good job and the facilities are clean and relaxing. Every time I've been there, they have soap operas on, but that's nothing I haven't experienced at every other nail salon I've visited, and they keep the volume reasonable so it's not a distraction. I have gone there multiple times over the past year or two, and have never been dissatisfied with my experience. Read Less

I have tried this place numerous times, but their general incompetency astounds me. 1. After warning the lady doing my pedicure about my toe blister, she banged it THREE times while filing because she was busy watching TV. 2. Same lady couldn't polish a whitish/pink color and had to try three times. Finally the owner did it. I was there over 2 hours.3. Its not very relaxing to have a the owner's toddler grab your wrist for your attention while you're trying to have a pedicure because her parents neglect her all day at the shop. 4. Tried to make an appointment with the owner, but husband who took the appointment neglected to tell her. I walked in, owner was busy with another customer. They didn't seem sorry. 5. Too expensive for all of this B.S. Read Less

Came here for a pedicure and although the girl who helped me was very nice, she cut my big toe pretty severely as she was cutting my cuticles. To add insult to injury, they charged me full price for the pedicure. After my toe was red and swollen for a week I went to a Dr. who said it luckily wasn't infected. It did take a very long time to heal and was very tender to walk on. I have been getting pedicures for a very long time and this is the first instance where I have walked away with an injury or infection. I will not be returning here. Read Less

I just moved to Boulder and was looking for a nail salon that would be convenient, clean and friendly. Kathy, the owner of Iris nails has done everything right! Her shop is attractive and staffed by professionals. Lilly did my nails and she is a doll. This is my shop of choice. I highly recommend it. Read Less

I have chronic ingrown-nails on my big toes and this is the first nail salon I've ever gone to with nail techs who know what to do to help and will spend extra time to do so. It's fantastic to not be in pain for up to a month and a half after a visit! Read Less

Got to tell ya....Lilly. She's a miracle worker! I had my nails done....very badly, at another salon in town. So bad in fact that I had to take them off and start over again. Lilly gave me the best set of nails I've ever had in my life. She's funny, sweet, and talented. The salon is friendly and comfortable. I just found my salon! Read Less
