List Best 19 Nail Salons in Austin, TX (Part 3)

Ally Hicks Went in for acrylic and walked out being overcharged for both acrylic and gel when I had been very specific about no gel. The nails done that were done are not good. No cuticle push back or anything! I wish I had walked out and saved my money!

Meagan Hudson My new favorite salon! I’ve been here three times now, and have had a great experience every time. The nail techs are kind and great at their job. I do not ever get nail art or acrylics, so can’t speak on that, but Karen gave me a gel french manicure and I loved it. She has also done a gel pedicure and it turned out great. She is wonderful to chat with. Shine has also done a pedicure for me before and it turned out great as well. I’ve come on a very busy day (Easter) and all the hard work everyone was putting in did not go unnoticed. The salon is clean and relaxing atmosphere.

Jamie Beltran They were very nice and they make you feel very welcome, my nail tech was very sweet and very patient, she did such an amazing job , very clean I definitely will be coming back

Trey Wiley Dané is the best!! I gave her this inspo pic and this is the results. I’m a dude and just started to get my nails done again & it’s the coolest thing. 10 stars

Kristina Ledang Tim did a 5 star job, best DIP nails ever! He was very detailed, made sure the nails matched in length and took his time to do a quality job (filing, etc.) He was friendly and would ask if I liked the length as well. It’s hard to find someone that doesn’t just rush to get the next customer in. Book with Tim, highly recommend! Updated review, Tim still does a wonderful job with the dip nails, he shapes and files them really well! I also had Tammy do nail art, she really took her time to review and make sure they looked the same on each hand.

Brianna LaFleur Very nice, efficient and thorough! I got a gel manicure and they took their time and did an excellent job! I chipped two nails within a week and went back and fixed them for no charge. This is my go to spot in Steiner Ranch.

olivia elmiger The best nail salon in Austin! The salon is in a great location in east Austin. The salon is so clean and beautifully decorated. I pretty much come every 2/3 weeks and they do an amazing job every-time without fail. Catherine did my nails and she knocked it out of the park! She’s funny, kind, and will have you leaving with a beautiful manicure! Always ask for Catherine!!

Michelle Keffer Cute is the best! Dustin has been taking care of my nails for a while now and they are always perfect. A friendly, inclusive and aesthetically pleasing experience every time. The tunes are usually great too.

Gracey Acholonu I was way over due for a pedicure and they were nice enough to judge me a little bit, because I needed the pedicure immensely. I called two other places to see the difference in rates and services, they have a better rate and higher quality of service. Some salons when installing acrylics won’t shape underneath the nail and that is a huge sign of a bad nail salon. Also changes in pricing attributes to whether or not it’s a good nail salon. I asked the price and they told me exactly what it was and that was exactly what I paid.

Chandler Bartlett I called when they opened to make an appointment because it was my birthday and I wanted to make sure I got my nails done before my dinner. They gave me a super late appointment time, 330, and when I showed up every single chair was taken. I waited an hour and ten minutes for a gel manicure, I didn’t even have any polish or gel on to take off. I know nail salons give vague appointment times, but over an hour was insane. At the end of my gel, it was empty and three people were sleeping in the chairs. On top of it, worst gel I’ve ever gotten

Brooke Blomquist Amazing experience! I was greeted with a menu for nail/spa services and drink menu. Super great pricing. Best pedicure I’ve ever had. Every time I come back to Austin I will come back to this nail salon. Service, cleanliness and technique are top notch.

Sharon Islas I have been coming to this salon for a few months nos and not once have I walked out not liking my nails, I always get dip powder and love that have so many colors to pick from!

Sarah W Clean and a huge selection of colors offered so youre sure to get what you want! Theyre quick but give you quality work. Suni was fantastic and helped me design exactly what I wanted!

Lorissa McCoy I had a gift card for this place so I went in and ask for a manicure and pedicure plus brows. I went 5 days ago. My toe on 1 foot is now infected. Im not sure if its because of the cut she did or dirty tools or what but I left in a lot of foot pain. I ask to leave kind of fast she looked at me like she wasnt done with my feet but it hurt so bad I just wanted to end the service immediately. I didnt get the set I ask for and showed a picture of and they did the set then when I showed they didnt match the picture at all they then told me they couldnt change it. My eye brows look the same as when I went in as well and I have broken out a little bit around my brows, that could have been that she basically just put the wax on skin then ripped off Im not sure. Please save your money and time and go somewhere else. Even if I received another gift card for this place I would not return. I would post pictures but Im not sure how to do that in a review.

donna britton Micheal did my nails today and I was very happy with them. Very nice staff.

Jessica Farrell I never had the chance to leave a review on this place, so I’m doing it now. This used to be my long term nail salon, but one day I went in there to get my acrylics filled and expressed a concern on them snapping/breaking. This place is NOT cheap so when I’m paying almost $70 for acrylics there’s an expectation that they’re going to last. So I asked the owner (who was doing my nails to either cut the natural nail or make the coating thicker). She then proceeded to insult my intelligence saying… do you not understand that’s not the issue? It’s your nail. Ok well you’re the owner, I’m sure you can find a way to fix it and make me a happy customer, considering I was there every 2 weeks AND the quality was declining. In general, the atmosphere was always kinda weird too. People would come up to you and look at your nails and talk to each other and laugh. I do not recommend this place. They are rude and expensive. And the owner clearly doesn’t know how to talk to people. She is the reason I don’t go here anymore.

Kaitlyn Evans Just don’t do it. As per the other reviews, you’re taking a risk on who is doing your nails. Si did mine last time and it was great. Now time for my wedding nails and it’s horrendous. It’s too high a cost to have a bad technician. Yuilia was who I had today. The first photo was the inspo and the 2nd photo was the result. I told her they were too pink but the damage was done. The shape is bad and the design chunky. Made my pinkie bleed which normally I could overlook but paired with a bad manicure is just the last straw. Just don’t do it. Not worth the risk. $200 is literally a crime for such a bad nails. I went elsewhere to get them redone.

Morgan White I did not enjoy my experience here. I wish I would have just gone to my normal spot. I have an issue with every single nail. I simply wanted a refund for my nails, even though my pedicure wasn’t great either. They refused. I’m not super picky but for their prices I expected more.

Kelsey Rodriguez I’m extremely disappointed with the service at this salon and will not be returning. After getting my nails done, four of them chipped and the gel started peeling off the same day. I had to waste my time and gas coming back to get them fixed, and this is how they look after the second visit—absolutely terrible. They were supposed to fix them, but I didn’t even receive an apology. Instead, I was told that they weren’t dry the first time and that my hand wasn’t in the light…(it was) that was but that was their explanation. This is not how nails should look fresh out of the salon. I can’t wait for them to grow out so I can get a new set somewhere else that’s actually worth the money. They look awful, and for the price I paid, this kind of service is unacceptable. I’ve attached a picture to show just how bad they turned out the SECOND time. (Scratched, dull, no shine of the ones at the end) I would not recommend this place to anyone.
