About Aria Nail Bar
A nail bar that takes its time.
Aria began in Tempe with a simple idea: a salon that looks like a boutique spa, feels like your favorite bar and never rushes you out of the chair. Today three Aria salons are open across Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe, a fourth is on its way in Arcadia, and the idea has not changed.
Our story
It started in Tempe.
The first Aria opened on North Scottsdale Road in Tempe. It is still our largest salon and the one our longest-standing regulars call home. What set it apart was never the marble or the chandeliers, though we are fond of both. It was the pace: a warm welcome, a drink in hand and a technician’s full attention for as long as the service took.
That pace travelled with us. Aria Phoenix Central, at Central and Camelback, brought a champagne bar and a wall of polish that guests photograph on every visit. Aria Scottsdale, on Miller Road minutes from Old Town, brought the calm of a spa at prices locals still describe as reasonable.
Our fourth salon is taking shape now at 44th Street and Indian School Road in Arcadia, with a pedicure lounge built around a sculpted, backlit feature wall. Follow along on Instagram for the opening date.
Four addresses, one standard. The same menu, the same hot stones with every pedicure and the same unhurried attention at every chair.
It felt surprisingly luxurious for the price. I especially loved the hot stone massage on the feet and legs. It was such a relaxing touch and really elevated the experience.
The Aria standard
Six things we never compromise on.
Time is part of the service.
Your technician stays with you from the first file to the final coat. Every pedicure on our menu ends with a hot-stone massage, from eight minutes on the Minimalism to a full twenty-five on the 24K Champagne.
Bring the reference photo.
Gel-X, builder gel, acrylic, dip, chrome, cat eye, ombre and freestyle art. Our artists match the picture on your phone, and will suggest a different shape or length when it will wear better.
Clean is not negotiable.
Every tool is sanitized between guests and every station is reset before you sit down. Guests mention how clean the salons are in review after review, and we intend to keep it that way.
An upscale room at a fair price.
Marble floors, chandeliers and massage chairs should not come with a surcharge. A Classic Manicure is $25 and our most indulgent pedicure is $108, pricing that guests in Scottsdale call reasonable.
Nails are only the beginning.
Eyelash extensions and lifts, brow and body waxing, and the Peter Pan Zone, a kids’ menu with regular and gel manicures and pedicures, so mothers and daughters can book side by side.
Every salon is the same Aria.
Whichever address is closest, you will find the same menu, the same standards and the same hours, seven days a week: 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sundays.
In our guests’ words
Three public Google reviews that say more about how we work than we could.
Read every review in fullTommy was very articulate in making sure he didn’t damage my cuticle while ensuring I had the most natural-looking acrylic nail possible. Phoebe was kind and precise. I would 100% come here again.
Google reviewAria Tempe My fingernails were terribly damaged and I didn’t know what could be done. Billy was so helpful and put caps with Gel-X on them. Now they look beautiful and I’m so impressed that he thought to fix them this way!
