Studio Nails & Spa - Hutto (TX)

5 /5 Staggolee: I came here on a friend’s recommendation after a prior salon did an extremely poor job on my toenails. They fixed the issues and did a great job making my toenails pretty and my feet soft. The ladies were all friendly, and the facilities were nice and clean. I’ll be back!

1 /5 Nia Wright: My first experience with Studio Nails was not a pleasant. I went in for a polish change (feet) and polish for my hands. #1. I had to repeatedly ask for the nail technician to paint the sides of my nails. When I mentioned it to her during the painting of my feet, she kept saying “I know” so I backed of. When she started painting my nails, she left each finger exposed on the sides but I waited until she was putting on the second coat and tried to move over to my right hand. After having to point out that the sides weren’t painted on EACH NAIL, she still didn’t paint the right hand correctly. I was so frustrated. 2. She did a horrible clean up job and left paint on each finger even after using the liquid (acetone?) to “cleanup”. Then it left a clear residue on my fingers which she just left. I looked at the nail oil on her table, hoping she’d understand that I don’t want to walk out like this and she grabbed it...but then put it back and told me we’re done and it’s time to dry my nails. 3. She took me from under the dryer after only four minutes (12:03-12:07PM) claiming they’re dry. I’ve been getting my nails done long enough to know they’re NOT dry. 4. She almost messed up my feet(nails) trying to force on my sandals despite me trying to let her know that the strap in the middle has to be adjusted. She kept ignoring me and then “grunting” because the strap on the back wouldn’t go up and then scolding me for not bending my toes because they’re “touching”. NO DUH!!! I keep telling you the strap in the middle has to be pushed down. I REALLY, really wish she would’ve backed off and just let me wear the paper shoes. It’s always nice to have them put your sandals on, but not this time. I didn’t ask and despite the frustration she wouldn’t let go. 5. I expressed my frustration at the front desk where you pay and I showed her my nails and let her know I don’t have time to get them fixed (house guests would arrive in 30 minutes) but I wasn’t happy. They only offered to fix for free in another day. With this sloppy job I really would’ve expected a discount. This isn’t what I paid for at all. I won’t be back. Not even for a repaint. I’m very disappointed.

2 /5 For Phone: Very rushed from the moment moment walking in the door. Dont give you a moment to choose colors. They seem to be more interested in getting you out rather than providing the service that you pay for.

1 /5 Brenda McMichael: This isnt my first time, but its been over a year. I went in for a gel manicure and my nail tech was a male I believe his name was Tom or Timothy. He was friendly, and professional which I was happy about that. Unfortunately, he talked me into changing up my gal nails to powder with gel on top. Which of course was an up sale. I asked several times will I have to worry about cracks, chips, or my nail ripping off because I have had issues in the past and do not want my nails to last a couple of days. I would like to continue following my routine every 3-4 weeks! He assured me multiple times that because he adds the thin layer of gel on top they would last 3-4 weeks or longer. Second issue I have is I enjoy the manicure because my cuticles are cleaned up and cut back very nicely. When he asked if I wanted to try the dip powder he failed tell me that the normal service I was used to wouldnt be the same. Which again had I been told that $45 is only the shaping and dip powder nails I would have said no thank you. Friday I got my nails done and by Sunday two were cracked. By Monday one of the cracked once chipped. By Tuesday the second cracked nail chipped plus a third nail cracked. They didnt even last 1 week, and I wear gloves and protect my nails on a daily so they remain strong and healthy. **I would not recommend this location because of the experience I had. Now I will be happy to edit my feedback if the salon offers to repair or acknowledge my feedback.
