Our Story
More than a salon —
a place that feels like yours
Nikki Nails was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves nails that make them feel confident, not just looked-at. Located on Lincoln Way in the heart of Ames, we've built a space where precision meets comfort — where the details matter as much as the result.
Every service is performed with care, using quality products and sanitized tools. Whether you're stopping by for a quick polish change or a full transformation, we treat your time and trust as something to be honored.

Nails that
speak for themselves
Client Love
Don't take our
word for it
I've been coming to Nikki Nails for over a year now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. My gel manicures last weeks without a single chip, and the attention to detail is unmatched.
The spa pedicure here is heaven. I walk in stressed and walk out feeling completely renewed. Plus, the salon is always clean and welcoming — it's my little escape.
They actually listen to what you want. I showed a picture of exactly what I was looking for and they nailed it — literally. Best acrylics I've had in Ames, hands down.
