We used to love this place when Jade and Andrew ran it. The quality and professionalism was lacking our last visit. Exclept for Lee who always does a wonderful job. We paid over 50 dollars for a dip manicure with extensions that were way too small, bumpy, and shaping was not what was asked for, and gel nail polish was applied without being asked. In the following pictures you will see my moms dip nails AFTER she tried to shape them herself.
They do a great job and they are so nice! I love going there. I highly recommend! I have never had a bad experience.
Jade not only squeezed me in last minute, close to closing mind you, but she took my vision and executed it flawlessly! She made sure I was happy with what she was doing every step of the way, and oh boy was I. It has been years since I had had my nails done by a salon due to most salons trashing my nails, but I have had a horrible week and couldnt be bothered to do my own. Made my week melt away with her eagerness to get exactly what I wanted on my nails and DELIVERING! I will most certainly be returning. These three weeks cantgo by fast enough. Thanks for making me feel normal again, Jade!
I cannot say enough great things about this nail salon. I was in a rush to schedule six appointments for a wedding (all at the same time) on Friday and didnt call until Tuesday, and they fit us all in!!! They had fabulous service and high quality manis and pedis. My nails have never looked better. And it was all for a good price. I would highly recommend them and will be returning in the future.
Jade is simply the best artist and designer! Quality job and creativity done right. She’s very gentle. I got a shorter manicure And dip style and then we added a light shimmer pink accent nail with holographic laminated hearts (posted photo). The other nails were white with holographic glitter/foil tips/edges! Best I’ve gotten anywhere and good value. I gave a nice tip to show my appreciation! Everyone was masked and sterilizing.
I enjoyed getting a Pedi and nails yesterday with my daughter. It was more than I usually pay, but not bad. Really nice people.
I have been going to Purelux for over a year and they are hands down the best in Des Moines! I tried out several other nail salons before going them and the competition is not even comparable. Their prices are reasonable and their quality of work is exceptional. Not to mention, their staff is the best!
Very great service. I felt very comfortable here! I definitely recommend to anyone in the area. I drove three hours here and they did not disappoint!
I dont go anywhere else to get my nails done! The owner and all of her employees are wonderful, even during their busiest times they make sure to do a fabulous job!!!!
New owners and employees. Went for a pedicure last night, worst Ive ever had. Sad. Had to bring my rating down.
Two of my friends and I kind of made a last minute appointment and Im so happy they were able to fit us in! Great nails and great staff, will definitely be coming again!
I havent had my nails done in 15 years. I got them done 3 weeks ago at another salon but needed a fill and pedicure so my daughter booked me with Jade, today. I will NEVER go to another salon! They are so nice, professional and their services are top notch! My nails look amazing...my other set were terrible! Book an appointment, u wont be disappointed!
I adore this nail salon. The technicians are friendly and so good at what they do. My nails are always beautiful and never have any imperfections when I leave. Thanks so much...you guys are great!
Whenever I need my nails done I always come here. No matter who you get your nails always look amazing. Jade has an incredibly memory and knows all of her customers and the littlest things about them. I cant get dip because it doesnt look right on my nails and she remembered it before I could even say anything. I love this place :)
First time customer here.Ridiculous price for the most basic acrylic nail set. Had one of the male nail tech’s do my nails and he was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Will not be returning nor recommending this place of business to anyone based on how I was treated.
Best manicure Ive ever had by far.
Every time I get my nails done here they come out perfect. The staff is so friendly and sweet. I highly recommend this nail salon!
Amazing salon and service. I live in NYC and came home for a few months, I’ve had a tough time finding a salon that does my nails the exact way I want and I finally found the one! Highly recommend Teresa if you’re looking for an almond/pointy shape. She is very detailed and you leave feeling so happy with the results. My gel manicures last a full 3 weeks. Thank you Pure Lux!
Wonderful staff! Highly recommend!
I LOVE this place! The owner Jade is amazing along with the rest of her staff. Been coming here since 2014 and dont plan to go anywhere else!
2nd time going here. And I will continue because they are amazing. They always make sure your satisfied before you walk out.
Second time coming here and again satisfied withmy nails! I got my toes done this time too and they did a wonderful job! Took their time and made sure I liked the shape. Would definitely recommend this place!
Was closed today, but they opened to do my daughter & bridal partys nails for her wedding tomorrow. Very impressed and happy with them being so accomadating to all our needs. Highly recommend❣
I got my wedding nails done here a few years back, and this is the only place I go to get my brows waxed. They are quick and efficient, and Ive always left happy
If you get a pedicure there they dont give you one that is what you paid for. They dont run the machine long enough maybe 2 minutes if that. It not worth your money. And they are rude and disrespectful
Always a pleasure. We go in for a pedicure every three weeks and what a pleasure it had been for the last 2 years. Jade runs her business well and always gets people taken care of.
I absolutely love Purelux Nails & Spa! Jade and the rest of the staff do an excellent job. They are friendly and take their time on your nails. The salon is very clean as well. I have been to Purelux three or four times since September to get a wide range of services done to my nails and I have absolutely loved every nail job I have received. They do very high quality work and their prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back!!!
Great service. Very friendly and amazing detail to not only what i wanted but what my nails needed. First time there. If nails last will for sure be back.
Hands down the best nail salon Ive ever been to Im a complicated all out kinda nails person and I git exactly what I asked for she took her time and wat super precise on the details I will absolutely be back 100% of my nail and spa services will be going to this business!
I went yesterday for my very first time. They greeted me by name, i was with Jade. SHE WAS AMAZING! She took her time, asked if i was okay every so often and made sure I was 100% happy. They turned out beautiful! I already recommended them on my facebook!! I will 100% be coming back
If you want to spoil yourself, this is the place to do it!
Really nice serviceLove my nails
Good job on my pedi!
Great ladies, great nails. Highly recommend!
Jade the owner of the salon is hands down the best nail technician I have ever been to. Highly recommend!
I love this nail salon! I went once with my sister in law and I wont go anywhere else. The prices are amazing and the people are even better. They keep up with you every time you come in. They invest more then there just there time. They are the best I would recommend them any day! :)
Love this nail salon! I have been going for almost three years now and can honestly say Ive never had a bad experience. The ladies are very thoughtful and nice and address you by name, which is appreciated, youre not treated like just a number. Will never go anywhere else :)-Jessica
Andrew did a fantastic job! I love my dip manicure!
Is great ask for Teresa is the best in town
Nothing but great things to say about this salon. They took their time and obviously take pride in their craft. I wont go anywhere else moving forward. Excellent experience!!
They did a great job and it has lasted 3 weeks
Love the massage chairs, love the polish options and love the service. Everyone was really nice. Got a deluxe pedicure and eyebrow wax. The foot/leg massage was wonderful and perfect. And thats definitely one of the main reasons I get a pedicure. Love it and will be back.
Always great service and high quality workmanship on your nails!
I love this place! Everyone is always so friendly and they do an exceptional job! I originally picked this salon because I saw how the owner would reply to reviews, which shows she cares about her clients and wants you to be happy with their services. Its 100% true!
The absolute best nail salon Ive ever been to! They always do an amazing job - especially Jade! I have been getting my nails done here every 3-4 weeks for the last few years & I will never go anywhere else.
Great friendly folks, attention to detail of services. Pricing is very fair. Enjoy every visit.
Location is really nice. Its clean and comfortable in there, too! Staff is friendly and their work is awesome! Highly recommend! Oh, and they are affordable!
Love Jade. She is the only one I trust to do my pink & white set just the way I ask! Very clean salon, great service, and reasonably priced. Just make sure to call ahead and make an appointment because they are usually pretty busy!
Im new to west Des lMoines and was looking for a new nail salon. Its not the nicest on the inside, but my pedicure was amazing. She took her time to make sure my nails looked amazing and the massage was great. I havent gotten a pedicure like that in ages! Ill definitely return
I this is the only place I will have my nails and pedicures. It is always a great experience from the time I walk in till the time I leave. Jade is amazing and always goes the mile to make sure I am happy when I leave. In the 3 yrs I have been getting pedicures here I have never had an infection. I highly recommend jade and her team at purlux.
Jade, the owner is a jewel! She will try to work you in no matter how busy they are. She cares about your experience in her salon. I have had nothing but a professional, sanitized, enjoyable time here. Twit (her Vietnamese name) is my manicurist, I absolutely adore her! I went out of state, my mother in law offered to pay to have my nails done, I declined because I only want Twit to do my nails. She is thorough, precise, a perfectionist at her art. I give her 5 stars!
This is the best nail salon in the DSM area, hands down. Their customer service is great; the staff know their customers by name and always make me feel welcome! The prices are great and the polish lasts, regardless of the service! It’s always super clean, bright, and relaxing. You’re missing out if you don’t come here for your nail services!
Love this place! They all are meticulous with their work so you know your nails will look amazing when you leave!
Best salon I have been to!
I was charged well over 60 dollars for a dip powder that didn’t even turn out the way I wanted it. On their Facebook website it says the dip is 40 dollars. The guy said he could do it and the design turned out sloppy. I asked for my nails to be short and they left them way to long and to wide. Never filed them down and there was so many bubbles.... I honestly will never go here again. I’ve been to a lot of different nail salons, and this is by far the worse place to go. Over charges you and can’t even give you what you want.
Purelux does great work! Pedis are the best in town!
I went there Sunday May 5. Jade who I was told is the manager. She did my nails and was on the phone the entire time. She made no eye contact with me. She was engaged with the man she was talking to. She finally told me to wash my hands. I said oh you talking to me. I had no idea. All she said was she was sorry. I called today May 6 and she said what do you want me to do. I said your the manager you figure it out. Dead silence. I hung up. I love the salon but wont be back. I will spend my money elsewhere. I suggest you do the same.
Always get me in right away & super sweet about it even tho theyre usually packed
I have been going to Purelux for over a year and love it. The staff is always friendly. They are experts at fixing ingrown toenails, the best I have found. Give them a try!
I received a mani/ pedi from my boyfriend and was totally surprised at the quality of service! I had the guy who works there and he took his time and was so patient! His work was great! I got the deluxe pedicure and it was amazing plus a glass of wine is always nice! The massage chairs were great and his leg massage was just perfect! I will definitely be back and highly recommend to anyone!
I’ve been coming here for almost 3 years and I will never go anywhere else! Jade and all her employees do an amazing job!!
Was here on Mothers day with my mom and daughter and I have never been treated so nice in my life. I come out of here feeling beautiful inside and out. THANK YOU! Ill be making this trip again. Well worth the 2 hour drive
I love going to Purelux! They always do such an amazing job and are so friendly!!!
I had a wonderful experience today! The gentlemen who did my nails was great. He was easy to talk to and took his time with my mani and pedi. I will be back again!Side note: they don’t accept tips on credit cards so bring cash for the tip
I have always had the best experience with Jade and her team! I have sent many people to Purelux and they have been happy as well! The whole team is always very accommodating and kind!
Best service!! They are caring and take their time.
This shop has excellent service. I have had consistently good, quality service from them and will keep coming back. I have referred many friends here. You will not be disappointed.
I wont ever go anywhere else. Everyone is so friendly and they know their customers by name, very clean.
Hot, no music, bad job on my feet. Tried it. Not going back.
Requested booking online and did not get a response
Got a pedicure when I was there and the lady that did it did a wonderful job
Squeezed us in when we didnt have reservations even though they were quite busy. Nice pedicure for a nice price.
Bad experience,I asked for ombre and they told me they don’t have time for that.NEVER COME BACK
Jade was amazing and took great care of me today!
Very nice people. My nails look fantastic afterward. Couldnt ask for a better service.
My old nail salon got bought out by different people who my mom and I personally dont like. so I was looking for a new salon and came across purelux. I made an appt with my grandma and Theresa was very friendly and did an amazing full set of acrylics for me! my grandmas toes look awesome too! talented people! I definitely reccomend purelux!
Amazing place. Try the Deluxe Pedicure. They know their stuff.
Great job! Very nice people and they are quick:)
Ive been searching for a nice, quiet, friendly salon in the Des Moines area for years and Ive finally found it.
Lots of color choices and love the service .
The best gel manicure I have had in West Des Moines! Fast and perfect.
Unfortunately the Purelux Nails & Spa gave my daughter a bad infection. Her foot was red, which eventually turned into cellulitis. She had to be on antibiotics for a month. I would NEVER recommend this establishment to anyone.
I came here to get my nails done for my birthday and it was awful. I have been to many salons in des moines and this is the worst. My nails were uneven and the color looked like it was done by a 4 year old
I got sheelac manicure on thursday, it looked nice but by the next day 3 of my nails were shiped i went in and they fixed it but it was a quik horrible fix u can tell where it starts and where it ends. never going there again.
I am a teenage girl...My friend and I get acrylics done about once a month.I saw the reviews and was excited to try out PureLux, but I have never been so disaapointed in a Nail Salon. My experience was absolutely terrible. We were treated with disrespect simply because we were young, and rushed out the door, they never asked how we wanted them shaped and they demanded we payed before they painted our nails, it was very insulting and our nails look terrible . Just because we werent a reoccurring older customer we werent given proper treatment. I would not recommend this nail salon to anybody.
My experience with this nail shop was horrible!!! I received a full set and polish change on my toes that was not worth the amount paid. The person who applied the full set was ok in personality but when letting her know that the nail wasnt completely glued down she said it would be ok and kept going with the application. Shortly after the nail began to lift which drew moisture underneath the nail; which is unacceptable especially with a new set!!! During my initial visit a younger employee was rude and disrespectful to myself and another client as well. Today when calling to speak to a person in authority and discuss the issues in a professional manner I was hung up on multiple times!!! Nevertheless, I will only return to this establishment to have them correct their mistakes and would never recommend them to anyone! So Caveat Emptor!!!!
First time getting my nails done so I had a really hard time answering questions but they were so patient with me and helped me figure out what would work best for me
A very nice nail salon. Medium priced and very friendly.
Outstanding service, everyone is so friendly and our nails look so beautiful
Damn expensive...they keep chatting in Their Native language.. its not professional... 27$ for a pedicure that lasted 10mins...
There amazing I recommend this place
I got my nails done yesturday and my Polish is already coming off. Not even 24 hours later. Not for sure if the Polish was bad or not but never had that happen before. Not very happy.
Always a wonderful experience!
Got a manicure. It was very good, the owner gave it to me.
Friendly, courteous, and very professional.
Nice, fast, good work
Best Pedi ever!!!
