Honey nails - San Antonio (TX)

5 /5 Amanda Montague: I loved this salon! The experience from the minute you walk in the door is so amazing. We were greeted and served drinks of our choice, and the whole place is luxurious and gorgeous. Lily did my nails and pedicure, and did such a great job and was very sweet the whole time. Edited: I went back for a fill, and love these Valentine nails even more! She was so meticulous making the hearts perfect!

2 /5 Sabrina Castillo: I was pretty excited to try this place because of the reviews. I usually have my normal nail place, but decided to give this place a try based on it being new and close to home. While the atmosphere was nice and the lady that greeted me was very polite, I was not so happy with the work that was done. I don’t think it was worth the $85. I was left with uneven polish, residue all over my nails, some of my nails were left thicker and uneven than others, there are bubbles in the polish and my skin was left sticking to the nail I had to pull it apart. Overall I’m not to sure I’ll be back.

3 /5 Tigra “Tiggy”: I’m in town for business and needed to fix my broken nails. I was in this particular area so this salon came up. The salon appears to be very new (inside a newly developed strip mall). It’s bright, airy, spacious, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. (Restrooms are very clean.) There is a bar area and free snacks available in the small waiting area. They offer you a beverage from a large selection of drinks, including alcohol. The employees were very nice and respectful. The nail techs were all wearing brand uniforms, which just added to the professional atmosphere. What I especially loved that I was given the price BEFORE the services, and they confirmed that I was ok with the price before we continued. (Although she said $90 but then swore she said $95.) What I didn’t like: I specifically requested a nail tech who was experienced and good with shaping because I wanted stiletto nails. Although my nail tech was very nice, and she really tried to take her time and fix things, she lacked the skills so the end job was subpar. She repeatedly cut my fingers nearly a dozen times over the duration of the process (including when she was just clipping my nails. How does a nail tech miss the nails and clip your finger/skin??). She did apologize, but it just proved that she’s inexperienced. Some of the nails are lumpy and most of them are rough around the edges (meaning they weren’t thoroughly buffed). Lastly, the “CATastrophe.” So after reviewing their cat eye display I requested the cat eye 06 and 10. Their display has 2 rows for each color. When I inquired, the receptionist said that the top row is how it’d look with a nude base, the bottom is the look with a black undercoat. 1- the nail tech didn’t know about the black undercoat process and had to go ask the receptionist about this. 2- during the process I realized the nails were not looking like the display. The tech went to ask about this; the receptionist came back and stated that the ENTIRE cat eye display shows French tip cat eye, which is an extra charge. If you have a DISPLAY for a product, a consumer expects the end result to emulate that display, otherwise it’s FALSE ADVERTISING. The nail tech felt bad about the cat eye results, as she struggled to complete my nails. She said the cat eye would be free, but the receptionist still charged me full price. OVERALL: 5/5 for Salon cleanliness/ Nice Employees/ Upfront pricing and itemized receipts 2/5 for nail service experience 1/5 for false advertising

5 /5 Amanda May: Would not want to go anywhere else! My nails look stunning! Wonderful service!! Everyone is so nice & friendly! The iced coffee is delicious as well! I believe Vicki is the one who did my nails! She is amazing she also did my daughter’s nails for her quinceñera! Outstanding service definitely recommend!

2 /5 Monica Alvarez: I was very hesitant on trying this place because it was very new but I was recommended to give it a try. It is a very cute salon, drinks are nice, they’re willing to try and make things right. Management was willing to fix the first set I had because it did not look like what I had asked for, the $15 chrome was not visible, and the application was not the best for the $75 I was charged. When I went in to get my nails fixed, I was told my inspiration picture could have been edited which is why they could not make nails similar to the ones I asked for in the picture. That was perfectly fine and I was willing to settle for a simple color and better application. I asked for tapered square nails, and I got coffin. My natural nails that I took so much care of are now ruined and the shapes are uneven, comparing to my left and right hand. I understand everyone is working to make a living and I really hate to complain. I took time out of my busy day to get my nails fixed and quite honestly I wish I wouldn’t have. The application is nice, but the shape is not tapered square. In the picture, you will see my middle fingers on my left and right hand. The difference in shape is very noticeable. I settled for the set because I was told they do not do refunds and I really do not want to sit through another nail repair.
