    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.

    Christmas nails set with builder gel

    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!

    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!!!

    Nails

    First time visiting Adore nail studio, the salon is clean and cute. I got builder gel and nail designs. They turned out so pretty. Definitely I will be coming back for my next appt.

The technician blamed the issue on me for "scratching my nose" instead of keeping my hand under the light, which was both rude and inaccurate, as the problem occurred on both hands--not just the one I briefly moved. Even after the redo, the polish did not cure properly. Less than 48 hours later, the nails are still malleable and the top layer of polish is already flaking off. Although I could return to request a redo, their website notes that refunds are not offered--only corrections within a limited timeframe. Given the experience, I do not feel comfortable returning or spending additional time on a service that should have been done correctly the first time.

They spoke Spanish and laughed the whole time, which was a little uncomfortable for what was seemingly an upscale place. He worked very fast and ended up cutting my cuticle too far back, making me bleed. At the end of the service my nails (both mani and pedi) looked worse than when I walked in. He left my nails uneven, with snagged edges and wounded cuticles. The pedicure tech left the toes painted outside of the lines, uneven finish and even the tips weren't completely painted. If I hadn't been with clients I would have asked for a manager and complained on the spot. The service is NOT worth the price. Find a different place.
