    Nude nail with subtle design #FallNails
    Vanessa D.

    This was my first visit to Adore Nail Studio, and I'm so glad I found this gem in Houston! I booked online because I was searching for a salon that offered BIAB, but decided to try their soft gel for the first time. I went in on a Tuesday afternoon and was seated right away. Vy did my nails and Chloe did my pedicure, and both were fantastic. The staff was welcoming, the music and ambience were on point, and I really appreciated how clean everything was they even use ozone to sanitize their pedicure stations, which is such a nice touch. I normally keep it simple with bubble bath or white nails, but I wanted something different this time. I showed Vy a Pinterest photo of my inspiration, and she not only recreated it, but made it look even better with her own suggestions. I'm so glad I trusted her judgment, the result was flawless, and you can tell she takes pride in her work and pays attention to every detail. Overall, my experience was 10/10. If you're looking for a nail tech who listens, elevates your ideas, and delivers beautiful, lasting results, Vy is the one to book with. I'll definitely be coming back as a regular!

    What can I say! I love it! Its hard for find a place with so many skillful nails tech. This place has it! Rachel designed my nails after hearing my wishes and color choices. Her other tech helped preparing, trimming, cleaning, and add on the builder gel for me. Overall the vibe here is fun and friendly. They took meticulous care in their work and I appreciate their attentive measurement making sure I'm pleased with the results. I received so much compliments with this set and can't wait to come back for the new year nails. I'm not sure I can part away from my Christmas set since it's super cute. Pricing is a little bit on the higher end compared to other establishment I have been to. But I rather paid more for a great quality and services here!

    I've tried to give Adore nails a few tries because so many people love this studio and there's just something about them them that misses the mark every time. The second time I went my gel manicure chipped that same week. My last visit started with a 15 min wait time after my appointment time. $88 dollars later and I left with my hands sore and looking like this.

    My friend sent me their IG page and they were offering a special 20% off discount for their first month open, so we wanted to check it out! We don't frequent nail salons, but once you've been to one or two salons, you know there's a strong chemical smell associated with it BUT that wasn't the case here at Adore!! It smelled so nice and pleasant inside, making us feel very comfortable and relaxed. I was told by the nail tech the place doesn't have a toxic smell because they don't offer the acrylic service, which gives many salons the noxious odor, so that's just one reason why I'd pick this salon over others. Another is the boutique feel of the studio that makes you feel pampered and not like you're just one of 50 customers there. The techs are very respectful and don't engage in side conversations with each other while they're working on customers, which I appreciated. As someone who doesn't get their nails done very often, I was confused with the services, but the techs did a good job at explaining all the options, and I showed Rachel the owner an inspiration photo and she gladly gave me a price estimate before Courtney the tech started working on my nails. I ended up getting short gel-x almond nails with a deep french design with lemons and the express pedicure, and I was out of the salon in less than 1.5 hours. I am so glad they were able to work on my nails and feet at the same time! I'd highly recommend Adore if you want to treat yourself to a relaxing self-care day!

    I recently went to Adore Nail Studio with my friend because we wanted to take advantage of their grand opening promotion. Neither of us get our nails done regularly so we were not sure which service to choose. The nail techs helped us to decide on hard gel for me and Gel-X for my friend after we let them know about our nail preferences. I showed my nail tech Vy an inspo pic of aura nails and she gave me exactly that! She took her time cleaning my cuticles to get them ready for the polish. I also did not once feel rushed to make any decisions like I often do at other nail salons. Adore is really clean and cute. It has about 10 pedicure chairs and maybe 6 manicure stations. There are several color options and various types of polish to choose from. They specialize in Gel-X and BIAB (builder in a bottle) and can do just about any design that you show them. They have an updated price list on their website if you want to get an estimate of what your service might cost before you book with them. The owner Rachel can also give you a price estimate once you show her the design and type of manicure that you're looking to get. The salon is located in the same plaza as 24 hr fitness in the Heights on W 18th St and is tucked away in the corner of the plaza. Parking here is easy unlike most parking in the Heights which I appreciated. We will definitely be returning to Adore Nail Studio next time we are in the area and looking to get cute nails!

    I came here to get my nails redone in a different design for an upcoming wedding. I sent them a photo of my outfit and gave them some base ideas of what kind of nails I would like and they created this set for me! They also took off my previous design and shorten my nails to my liking. I was a few minutes late but they were super understanding and were able to accommodate me. The salon is super clean. I like the fact that they pull out a new set of tools to indicate that they were sterile. The whole process took about 90 minutes. Yet I did not feel rushed and Rachel was super detailed. My set does cost a lot but we were using builder gel/ X with Crome, cats eye, gems, and 3D art. I'm a huge fidgeter and the 3D art seems to have unexpectedly calm me down a lot. I also trust them to charge me fairly. If you want to try them out, I would highly suggest to make an appointment with them and have a few photos of nail designs you have in mind. Parking is out front and free!

    Man this place would be so great, but they do not care about the customer.. unfortunately. They play the worst un-relaxing dj music. After a long day you come to the nail salon to relax, not sit in a club. I had about 10 mins left of my pedicure and I finally built up the courage to ask to change the music. My nail technician Helen was super sweet and said no problem and let me pick a station. I chose relaxing spa music (wow, shocker) not even 3 mins went by and Kelly (the technician next to us )stood up and said "I can't take this I'm going to fall asleep!!" and proceeded to change it back the same music. I understand working all day long with spa music might be hard, but they had 5 mins until closing, if that and maybe you shouldn't get a job at a spa. After this experience, I will no longer be coming here. There are 1 million other nail salons that care about the customers and are so sweet!! People come here because it is trendy inside, and they have cool/new colors to choose from and they have some girls that are good at design, but a business won't last if they don't know how to take care of your customers wants and needs. I spoke with the manager on duty because he said Rachel the owner was away, but I'm not sure he understood the situation. I agree with other reviewers about poor customer and VERY poor taste in class, atmosphere and music. I sincerely hope it improves.

    I found this gem of a nail salon because I wanted something different than my usual nail place and wanted to take a break from gel-x extensions. I saw that they had hard builder gel and I wanted to try that for the first time. I was taken care of by Jacklyn and she was very patient with helping me choose my color/designs. The end result was what I wanted super cutesy, short and unique to my own personal style. When my nails grow a bit longer I hope to return for some more designs by her! Vibe of the salon was super cute and minimalist. Overall I would return and recommend.

    Probably the best salon in the Heights area , believe me when I say I've tried almost all of them within a 5 mile radius and none come close to the quality of work they do here. Rachel is amazing at design and the rest of the ladies do great work too. Love it here !

    I recently moved to this area of the heights and wanted to try a new nail salon and they did not disappoint! The salon was small, clean and very relaxing. I got a shellac pedicure and manicure and was only there for about an hour and half (both were done at the same time). This was by far the best cuticle care I have had in Houston and attention to detail. I will be back! For reference, I got color 836 DND

    It was incredibly hard to find a truly quality nail studio specializing in BIAB nails. So I was so relieved to have found Adore. I've had two opportunities to receive BIAB from the amazing nail technician Jacklyn and have to say that her work is honestly the best I have ever experienced. The ambiance of the salon is also very nice, with catchy pop music playing. The salon is very clean and the workers are friendly and offer drinks or assist when needed. I also like that the owner takes time to carefully check in with guests that are waiting. I would wholeheartedly recommend Adore Nail Studio!

    My awesome pedicure

    Chloe was wonderful. She did an awesome job on my pedicure. She paid attention to detail and the experience was soooo relaxing. This nail spa has a great vibe. I will definitely be back.

    Great nails loved my service and the place was nice. They blasted K-pop the whole time it was pretty rude. Was obsessed with my nails but and pedicure but the total was $200 that was wayyyyy too much especially since the nails were super simple and I asked for them to be short. I was recommended this place by a friend but this is not a good salon for a budget GO SOMEWHERE ELSE PLEASE save your money my toe polish is chipping after 4 days. The toes were simple blue polish and this wasn't worth 200 especially since they knew i was working on a budget!!!

    I absolutely love DRIP Nail Salon. I have been going here for over 2 years. All the technicians are…read morewonderful but AB has been my favorite. He is extremely nice, helpful, and always does an amazing job. My gel manicures always last 3-4 weeks which is an incredible testament to his skill and ability. Everyone at Drip is very nice and the environment is relaxed and fun every time I am there. It's disappointing to see some negative reviews (even for my favorite technician, AB) because the whole team and AB are all fantastic! Clearly anyone who has left a poor review for them went in having a bad attitude and some people you can never please. You won't be disappointed in your visit to DRIP Nail Salon and I am sure it will become your favorite nail salon!

    I had a very disappointing experience at this salon and felt completely disregarded as a customer…read more I arrived for my 9:30 a.m. appointment only to be told that my nail technician had called in sick and that the salon had attempted to notify me at 9:15 a.m. By that time, I was already on the road and nearly at the salon. While I understand that emergencies happen, giving a customer only 15 minutes' notice for a cancellation is extremely frustrating and shows very little respect for the client's time. I asked whether another technician could perform the manicure, and a technician named Ab took over. During the appointment, he casually told me that he had been out with my original nail technician the night before and that they had gone bar-hopping together. Hearing that was upsetting because I had been told she was too sick to come to work. Whether or not that was the reason for her absence, it immediately made me question the explanation I had been given. After he applied the builder gel and polish, I noticed that several nails looked noticeably uneven. One side of multiple nails appeared much thicker and higher than the other, creating a ballooned, lopsided appearance. In addition, large portions of the sides of my nails were left without polish, leaving my natural nail visible. When I politely pointed out these concerns, I expected a professional discussion or an attempt to correct the issues. Instead, I was met with defensiveness and blame. I was told that I was wasting his time and that the problem was caused by my natural nail shape. While I understand that no one's nails are perfectly symmetrical, that does not explain why multiple nails had obvious product buildup on one side and incomplete polish coverage on the other. The technician then removed everything with a visibly poor attitude. Rather than trying to resolve the situation, he brought over the cashier and I felt as though I was being confronted for raising legitimate concerns about the quality of the work. After spending an hour in the salon, I left with no completed manicure and nails that looked worse than when I arrived. What shocked me most was that they still charged the full price of the service. I asked the cashier to contact the manager or owner and explain what had happened, but I was told that management instructed them to charge me in full despite the circumstances. I told them that this was unreasonable as they had taken off everything and left my nails looking worse (I have attached photos of how my nails looked when I left the salon). The entire experience from the last-minute cancellation, to the poor workmanship, to being blamed for pointing out obvious issues, and finally being charged full price for a manicure that was removed left me feeling disrespected and taken advantage of. Everyone can make mistakes, but what truly matters is how a business handles them. Unfortunately, this salon demonstrated poor customer service, a lack of professionalism, and very little regard for its customers' time or concerns. Update: the owner called me and told me she is reporting me to the authorities. This is the worst gaslighting I have ever experienced. She was extremely defensive and did not apologize once. She told me that a service was provided and that I needed to pay. I explained that they messed up my nails then removed everything and left my nails in worse condition. I cannot believe this is even happening. Please do not go here.

Everyone was very friendly and was promoted quickly to my chair for my mani. My manicurist was nice but did not seem like an expert in nails. She did not use a brush with acetone to clean up my nails and unfortunately my fault i did not really check until i got to my car. The color is beautiful but for 80 dollars for mani/pedi with regular polish i expect it to be flawless. Again partially my fault for not really looking. Also the towels, foot scrub was nice. The massage so-so. Would i come back maybe. *i do have a messed up nail thumb which does have very bad ridges but as you can see theres one spot that doesn't really have polish on it. EDIT- they did reach out and asked if i wanted my nails touched up which was very nice :)

    If I could, I'd give PAINT Nail Bar 10 stars!…read more The service here is phenomenal. The fact that they offer vegan and cruelty-free options is everything I've been searching for for years. I have sensitive skin and would constantly break out after visiting other nail salons--until I found this place. I feel so welcomed every time I go. My nail artist, Susy, is amazing! She takes her time, really listens to what I like and don't like, and I always walk out with a smile--feeling like a princess. She's even encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and play with some fun colors I never would've tried on my own! One thing I really appreciate is that they never make you feel rushed. The vibe is so relaxed, and you can tell they truly care about your experience. The entire team is warm and friendly. I love how they all have their own unique nail art styles and are always happy to share ideas with me--so much so that I often get inspired to try their designs on my next visit! Peri and Elsa always greet me by name and check in to make sure I'm comfortable throughout my visit. It's those thoughtful, personal touches that really stand out. It honestly takes a village to make me happy--and PAINT Nail Bar makes me happy every single time.

    Omg this nail salon is top notch…read more To start off, the customer service is incredible. From the moment you walk in you are greeted and attended to right away. Theres a full service bar that offers fun drinks like lychee margaritas and the most delicious Vietnamese coffee. They have an amazing loyalty system that allowd you to keep track of your exact colors through their system and you also gain points everytime you go!! If you pay in cash you get DOUBLE points. We love that. Second, the space is absolutely beautiful, clean, calming and spacious relaxing environment. The massage chairs had option for heated massage rollers which is great for someone like me who is constantly cold with AC. And the chairs are brand new and COMFORTABLE. This space is so luxurious and welcoming with the bar in the center. Theres also sections so for our large group of 8 we felt like we had privacy. Lasly, the nail service is outstanding. All of our girls left satisfied with their service which is hard to do with a big group of 8. All of our nails turned out perfect and they checked in on us frequently with a friendly demeanor and made sure all of our needs were attended to and met. I seriously think this is the best nail salon ever!!! 100000000/10 recommend. Thank you!!!!!

    Pros: TT has a serious look, but once you get to talk to her more, she's a very sweet lady…read more Cons: The guy at the register, (Name wasn't specified.) has a difficult time in his understanding of English and has somewhat of a sassy attitude.
