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

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!

★★★★★ 5.0 Caitlyn Ballard · Sep 2025

So happy to have this new salon right in the neighborhood! It’s nice inside and super clean, the decor is also super cute. They’ve got refreshments and a little coffee bar for customers. I’ve been going to Jaden for I think 6 months now and usually do simpler sets but when I do want something a little fancier and creative she hits it out of the park. I love getting the builder gel and going to the salon every coupon of weeks: Would definitely recommend

Kendra clearly has plenty of experience. I love every nail set she has done on me. I enjoy my booking days as well as having girl talk. My new favorite thing is my friends saying “I went to your nail tech” <3. I always receive compliments not only on the design but the retention. For someone who works with water a lot the retention is amazing.
