I always call ahead and make an appointment with Tran. She never disappoints me ! I see work of others there on Instagram and they are good as well! Other places I get cut and i get scared, they don't care. I don't trust just anyone with my nails. I've been going to Tran for about 2 years. The pic attached is just one pic of the most recent set. If I try anywhere else I regret it. Lol 5th ave is very friendly, and always busy! When you walk in they are checking temps and there are glass shields for the receptionist and the desks. I highly recommend booking an appointment at this location , even with Tran if interested! read more

Don't be fulled for by the menu I got a fill and some how it was $40 for that and missing two nail. Look I would have gone to Venice nails that would have offered a drink and a lot cleaner. I felt ripped off for the experience and I would have just gotten a full set for $35 according to their menu. I only went there because they had no wait and it was obvious and poor planning on my place read more

I was seen super quick at 6pm on a Wednesday, but I was seated so quickly I wasn't even given a chance to pick a color. Guy took FOREVER. I don't like my coffin shape, the white color is patchy at the base (he could've gone in with a 3rd coat since it is white). Black spec in one nail. Thumb nails are short compared to the rest of my nails. They don't look terrible from far but definitely not worth $50. I've spent that much before for 10x better results in a shorter period of time. Won't be coming back. PS. Hard to really capture how my nails look on my phone camera. read more

Nancy did my pedi. Lisa did my nails. Both did such excellent jobs, great service, such beyond amazing patience & hospitality. A friend from work got her nails done here and i loved them so much and she referred me to this place! I showed Lisa what I wanted i from a pic on Pinterest and talked to her about it and she's completely corresponded with me and got what I wanted on spot! so this is my first time & I will be coming back, officially found my nail lady for being new to this side of town! To mention the inside is neat for my first time being here. I felt very comfortable 100% & the quality was definitely worth the quantity! read more

So this is not my usual place but I didn't feel like waiting an hour and fifteen minutes to get my nails done. I decide to stop here because it was right across the street. I was taken right away and asked to choose color and since I needed the same nail polish for my toes he asked me to come with him to the pedicure chair. Upon sitting back down I noticed him take his machine out to sort of remove the nail polish like that but I told him no because my nails are thin. He was very understanding and right away decided to wrap my nails so the polish came off by itself but I was concerned that he was not to clean, because as he was removing the foil from my fingers he was just throwing them to the side. He started on my nails and it just got worse he literally had a mess all over with powder. As I looked up at him I noticed her had pink powder on his face and hair. I wish I could have taken a picture but I was embarrassed for him. My nails came out perfect but my hands were as messy as the desk he was working on. My hand was pink and not even soap removed it. Between my nails and toes it was $50.00. I'll have to be desperate to come back. read more

Update: Unfortunately the quality has gone down and it's honestly very sad. My most recent set was just on a whim and i decided to go after work as a pick me up. The man that did my nails was very rough, from pulling on my arms the entire time to drilling my nails down rather hard. The application is sloppy, the acrylic is visibly uneven and my nails are very crooked, even the polish that someone else applied is uneven and doesn't cover all of my nails. I thought I'd go back and ask to have them fixed, but it's just not worth the trouble. I feel like i wasted my time and money the last few sets I've gotten done. After "3 chances" I'm better off finding a new nail salon. I've been coming to 5th ave for roughly 4 years now and EVERY TIME i leave happy, it never fails! At this point i feel like i see someone different every visit, but i would gladly recommend every single nail tech here. My most recent set is one of my favorites, so simple in color and shape but let me tell you, THEYRE PERFECT. The shape, the clean up, every little detail is on point. I'll admit, I've gone to one or two other nail shops over the years just due to convenience, but no other place keeps me coming back like 5th ave, I'll definitely be a client here for as long as poss read more

I've been here 3 times and each time I have been more impressed. I love this place! The prices are reasonable, the service is AMAZING, and the atmosphere is wonderful. A young guy named Tai did my nails this time and he was very understanding, attentive, and kept asking if they were what I wanted. He was also very helpful in explaining different options. I'm so happy! I will be back for a fourth time Thank you!!! read more

I have a client who is a regular at the salon and her nails are always beautiful. I decided to drive across town to visit them and I must say I was not disappointed. I was serviced by a young lady named Chi. (I hope I have her name right) She was meticulous and clean in her work. I finally found someone who doesn't add a thick powder coat to my natural nails! This is definitely a beginning to long lasting relationship. read more

I've been to this nail salon before nothing fancy but they get the job done. For some reason I choose to google them once I got home.

2 stars for the customer service experience. But I would give 10 STARS to my technician Emily. Thank you EMILY for an awesome pedicure. I appreciate your effort and patience. Thanks again! PLS READ: This 2 stars is for this old guy/salon manager or owner?? : I DID NOT appreciate you or maybe you're the salon manager that keeps going back and forth, asking my technician like 3rd or 4th time - if she's done with me???! or how long it would take for her to get done with my pedicure???!! Sir, that's RUDE! completely rude. To think that Emily was doing such a great job, giving the best customer service. I hope you would STOP doing that. To check once or even twice is enough to let them know. Because it's really annoying, what you did was annoying. I hope you know it by this time. read more

I loved my manicure here & patrons + employees were very nice. My only complaint would be that they didn't manually take off my shellac. read more

This place was just nice enough for a fourth star. I have just moved here from DC and badly wanted a spa pedicure that would make me feel better. I also wanted a place near my new house so I wouldn't risk getting lost. 5th Avenue Nails looks exactly on the outside as I expected it to on the inside. Very run of the mill. Pros: 1) The Price! Back east I can expect to pay $40-60 for a "Spa Pedicure" that includes basic pedicure activities, a mask & hot towels. The pedicure menu here range from $25 to $40 for the general pedi things and $50 for an "Organic Spa pedicure" - so of course that's what I asked for. 2) The Activities! This pedicure had more steps to it than IKEA furniture instructions. There was: the expected attack on my horribly neglected toenails, the scouring of my roughness with two scrape-y things, then a nice scrub with my personally chosen organic scrub (which smelled like lavender babies), then the HOT STONE MASSAGE (drools), followed by dipping my feet in individual baggies of paraffin wax then wrapping my calves in hot towels. After about four minutes of cooing like a dove my nail tech came back & unwrapped me from my sweet cocoon & promptly painted my nails. 3) The Feels! I cannot describe how surprised I was to receive not one, not even two but three massages throughout my pedicure. That's a massage after she tackled my nails and applied scrub, a hot stone massage after she cleared that away and a third with lotion after my paraffin dip & towels. I felt so relaxed and well tended to that I was sitting there reading for about ten minutes before she reminded me I was finished & could walk - unless I wanted to keep relaxing (Embarrassing!) 4) You can tip on a credit card! For what I would have paid easily $70 for back East, I owed $50 and was able to easily tip another $10 on my receipt. This is a nightmare other places & many have signs specifically reminding you to use cash. I can't remember all the things! The only cons I have are: The technicians speak incredibly rough English, to a point where two of them worked together to answer a lady across from me & even then I tried to help in translation. Also, they were talking loudly among themselves in their native language (Vietnamese is soundly like) so much so that I could not totally veg out. ...But I forgave her after the second rub down. read more

Great prices too I only paid $45 for a full set of solar nails with the coffin shape read more

This used to be my favorite nail salon in the area. But after my past two experiences I will not be returning. They used to provide you will immediate service and make sure it was an enjoyable experience. The last time I went I spent an hour with my feet soaking in water while they did my moms nails waiting for my turn. Tonight I sat with my feet in water for 35 minutes before I actually got up and left because no one acknowledged us, the water was set too hot and no one ever came back to check on us and the jets were never turned on. Overall it was a truly awful experience. I feel like I wasted my time and I felt like that didn't care to keep my business after several years of going to that location. Maybe they are short staffed but it's not acceptable. Would not recommend. Even if you have an appointment they leave you waiting. read more

This nail spa is near by my house and it is officially my go to spot. They are polite, quick..... and always do a good job. I am always very picky about my nails. This place is clean and they offer complete nail care, waxing, facials etc. Only one time on a saturday I had to wait 45 min for a pedicure.... but they were very busy so that was ok. If you are in the area.... go to 5th Ave Nails. You wont regret it read more

I'm only not giving this place 5 stars because some of the nail techs there aren't good, but most of them are great! I would recommend finding the one you like and getting an appointment with them.

Saw Emily a few weeks ago and as I was looking for colors she asked me to move different chairs as she took another client for a fill when my appointment was scheduled at 11 for a new set and it was 10:50.. I walked out and went across the street to Venice bc I was so upset. It was very unprofessional and I felt very under valued as a customer. Used to love coming here but I'll definitely have to find a new place for my nails read more

Certainly could have been much better first time I went in been took care of me gave me an entire new set with French with gel color along with a $40 upgrade on the pedicure with a gel color and my total bill when Bella was ringing me out was 125 so I gave a $30 tip to Ben thanking him for the service he provided me. I went back today for a pedicure I got the basic one which was 30 because I just gotten one a week and a half ago and I just wanted to relax and get a fresh color and when I went up to the counter they charged me $30 for the pedicure and $20 for the gel color I was absolutely offended and disgusted at how they're trying to charge me I did speak up about it and they said $20 for gel color. Go to another nail salon because they changed their pricings they charge you whatever they want and it's really offensive when you get to the counter for the service that I received so my tip reflected how disgusted I was as well as I will not return. read more

Came here because I didn't feel like waiting at Venice and maybe I should've. Honestly the pedicure was fine, good even, but the prices when you walk in don't match the prices they give you when you're in the chair and that really irks me. Color selection was limited too. read more

I usually just get pedicures done here.I have never had an issue with wait time and am always greeted and seated right away. I usually get the mid level pedi which includes the paraffin wax and sugar scrub and foot massage. Everything is pretty good just wish they did the foot massage for the full 15 mins like advertised it was more like 5 mins. The do a good job trimming the nails and cuticles and the paint job always looks great and lasts for 3 weeks. I got a mani like once or twice and they did a good job but they didn't last as long as I would like. read more

This place has really gone downhill. Everyone is always in a rush. And you don't even get a free drink. I spent two hours here just to get a set taken off and gel nails put on. And guess what? My gel manicure started chipping on the 4th day of having it. I don't work with my hands. This is ridiculous. I just ended up buying my own gel nail kit so I can do this myself. Ever since Michael and Stacy and the original 5th avenue crew left, this place has been just awful. In fact, when I was sitting there with my poor fingers in acetone for about an hour, a girl who just had a set done the day before, had an entire acrylic nail just come off. They were nice enough to replace it for free, but how frustrating!!! Never never coming back here. Sad. Used to be one of my favorite places. Spend your money at a quality salon like Nail Flower. THEY will take care of you! read more

Three stars because they were friendly and serviced me immediately. However, this is the last time I will let a man do my nails. I have noticed since I have been in San Antonio that the men who work in the nail salons like to use their own nails as tools. That GROSSES me out. So all was going well, we were almost done... it is my first time getting the SNS powder manicure. He was a little rough, but I was patient. Then I felt my cuticles being pushed back, sharply (which made me look down). I look down to discover he is using HIS FINGERNAIL!!! UM.....NEGATIVE. This should be a health violation. Do you know how much bacteria lurks beneath the fingernail!?!? I came home and disinfected my cuticles. NEVER AGAIN. read more
