Cute Nail Studio - austin - Austin (TX)

3 /5 Jordan Cooley: Went here for the first time a few weeks ago and had booked a gel manicure + ombre effect. Made sure to ask the nail tech which colors would work best, but they ended up not being able to do the ombré. Got a marbling effect instead and was happy with the outcome. Come back and try a different nail tech, just one color for a gel refill. First attempt resulted in a really bumpy finish, not clean lines, really thick gel. Which they asked me to come back in today to have it redone. It’s definitely better, but still pretty lumpy and the paint isn’t clean (esp near the cuticle line). Really lovely staff and super personable, but for $76+ tip for a simple gel refill that took 3.5 hours total between the two days, I’m going to take my business elsewhere.

5 /5 Laura B.: Megan did an amazing job on our friendship tattoos and was so lovely to hang out with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tattoo. Thanks again, Megan!

5 /5 Nina: I was recommended to go to this place by friends. I had “gel nail extensions with simple art” done by Maria Rodriguez. I love them so much! Maria listened to my requests, was real with me, gentle with my hands, and took her time in making my nails perfect. It’s worth it. They make me feel so cute. And speaking of cute, wow the studio aesthetic is immaculate. I feel like this place was made just for me. I loved it. The owner and the front desk people were friendly and helpful. The nail artists were generally kind to each other and seemed happy to be working there from what I could tell as a customer. It was clean and professional and they played a good mix of music. The space is on the smaller side and I was impressed that they have fume extractors at every table. It didn’t have the strong chemical smell of most salons. I heard they just had a new management change before I went so I would pay attention to the more recent reviews. Would recommend! ☺️ (And have recommended.)

2 /5 Mary Ann L: I wrote a review and deleted it but after some thought I feel I should share. I had high expectations after reading the reviews but it was a total let down. I wanted to get gel x extensions and some bling on my nails. I wanted coffin nails after using press on and liking the look. My nail tech was nice but my nails didn’t come out like I had hoped. First, some of the nails were put on crooked. I mentioned this and she told me, no, they were fine. I wanted coffin nails but I didn’t want long nails. She told me they didn’t have any that were short. Her clipping down the medium length nails lost any of the appearance of coffin style. They’re square. The polish was so thick they look clunky and not cute. She opted for glitter rather than stones and it looks amateurish.Then, this morning the thumb nail popped off! I haven’t had them a week and it fell off. I wasn’t doing anything that would cause it to do this. I had already made an appointment elsewhere to get them removed. I won’t be back.

5 /5 Summer Stark: Gracie was AMAZING! I had a request for Twenty One Pilots nails prior to attending the concert and she crushed it! She is so talented and took the time to hand paint each nail with the designs I wanted. She was incredible. I was so pleased!
