S&S Nails & Spa - Austin (TX)

5 /5 John Schocken: Ive been coming here for several years for mani-pedi with Dan. I am always treated well and they are all very kind people. Jackie is always so sweet and they know who I am and feel welcomed like a friend. They have also been doing nails for my mom and other family members, and we are always happy with the result. I would recommend them to anyone in the area who needs nail services because I know they will treat you well.

5 /5 Laurence Paquet: I LOVE this place. All of them are really friendly and respectful. They don’t rush, they take their time to take care of each their clients. Helen is so nice and really meticulous. She does an amazing job with my manicure and pedicure every single time! I highly recommend S&S Nails & Spa!

5 /5 Mari Schwanke: I’ve been coming to Jacqueline and Dan for over 4 years and now I bring my 92 year old mom also when I come in. They are always so friendly and kind to us and are like family! The salon is clean with lots of choices for colors and nail services. We personally get dipping powder for our manicures, which is much easier on the nails than gel. We do gel for our pedicures. The color lasts and nothing ever “pops off”. We come in every 2 to 3 weeks. Highly recommend!

2 /5 Maria Kryuchkova: I tried Danny based on his glowing reviews and was really excited to find someone closer to home. My appointment was 30 minutes late - for me it was fine that day but still not ideal if you specifically schedule a time. When I left my nails looked worse than what Im used to. I really love when a manicure looks tidy and clean - evenly trimmed skin gel/sns up to cuticle. I asked Danny to please trim more of my cuticle and he told me a few times theres only so much he can do in one time (what does that even mean, my other techs never had an issue). He told me it was my issue I dont use cuticle oil nightly.The borders were uneven and from the second I got in the car my nails looked like they were already a week grown out since the powder was not close to cuticle line. The very last pic I posted is 7 days out - typically my nails look fine for at least 2 weeks. Honestly - that wasnt even the part that bothered me the most. Danny talked the whole time about how other techs are not that good and hes the best. How although hes the best in the area but Im lucky to get my nails done there because everyone else charges more for worse service (not true). I like my nails a little thicker (3 coats) and he told me a few times it looks bad and cheap and all the other ladies want 2 coats - great thanks. He wasnt flexible at all and made me feel like he was doing me a huge favor the whole time. I found the lack of humility and criticism a little unnecessary during a time I just wanted to relax. The behavior was very uncomfortable to sit though - if youre great there should be no need to put others down the work would speak for itself. I felt awkward that he wanted me to continuously compliment him or agree that he was doing great as he declined every request or suggestion I made. I checked and the cute new modern nail bar right across in the new plaza is actually cheaper and higher rated. I will be going there from now on. Pics from the car and when I got home. Then one 1 week later (on laptop by plate). In the car there is oil on my cuticle so its hard to make out but from the home pic you can tell a little more the skin looks frayed and a little rough.

1 /5 Victoria Lynne: DO NOT GO TO THIS NAIL SALON. Denies service, lied and said they only do short nails and no acrylic. My nails are medium length, not long at all. After I told them I have been there before, their story changed. Discriminating against others and denying services to a walk-in customer willing to wait after an appointment is beyond me. Terrible.
