If you are having a hard time finding a nail technician that is superior, book with Christy. Athena nails is a smaller, more quaint salon with quality employees.

I came in with my best friend to start this weekend birthday. This was an excellent way to get it started!! I am Embarrassed that I didn't get the names of the two who helped me and my bestie. The massage was phenomenal. They were talking to each other in a different language. It was a very chill and wonderful vibe. Every person who worked here greeted us and were flipping wonderful. I promise that you will not be disappointed.

I know there's like a million nail salons around 1604/Culebra area, but this place did a pretty good job. The reason for 3 stars is the whole salon smelled sooo strongly of chemical nail everythiiiiing that I had to take shallow breaths so I won't inhale too much of it. Other than that, they were all friendly, enjoyed the usual chat with them. They do offer discounts and they are not that busy. Fairly priced and great quality. My shellac nails last almost a month, the only reason I took it was because my nails weeds growing. If they took care of the strong smell, I would change to a 4 star, but my lungs were screaming at this visit.

Beautiful pedicure done by QUAN! He was so friendly, professional & did an amazing job on my honey & milk pedicure. I didn't have an appointment but I was greeted nicely at the door & taken right back. Next time I'm in town, this will be my go to place. It was very nice, clean & great relaxing atmosphere.

I usually get my nails done at a salon a few minutes away, but today, they told me itd be a 45min wait so I decided to go to Athena instead. Today was my first visit and im definitely coming back again! The salon is very clean and not as busy as my usual salon. Sandra did my pedicure and this is probably the best my feet has ever looked! I was so relaxed I actually fell asleep on the chair for a few seconds lol. Definitely recommend and will be coming back in the future.

I didn't even know this place existed! Everyone was very friendly, prices were $40-$50 for a pedicure but the pedicure was awesome! They had a full bar with a two drink max for customers. I recommend the melon mimosa! Leo took great care of me, will be back again!

Best pedicure experience I've ever had. I came on a walk-on basis today and was immediately taken care of. My toes were in DIRE need of attention, due to being 7 months pregnant and unable to reach my toes anymore! I chose the Herbal Pedicure which had multiple amazing massages and smelled fantastic as well. Ryan was my nail tech, and he was very nice and did a great job. My feet and lower legs are very happy now...plus my toes are now cute again! Will definitely come back again.

Visiting San Antonio for the weekend and stumbled upon this hidden gem. I got my nails done and a pedicure. AMAZING customer service! Drink menu has good options. Even the bartender was great! Both my sister and I had a fantastic experience. Hands down one of the best nail salons I have been to! I will definitely be coming back!

Elizabeth A.

Linh was amazing!! She took her time and made sure my mani and pedi were just the way I wanted it! You pick your color from a large book which makes it super easy. They have excellent customer service, free drinks (non-alcoholic or with alcohol) and snacks. I will definitely be going back!!

I don't know if I booked a nail appointment or signed up for boot camp. Nina at this jail salon treated my hands like they personally offended her. If my hand wasn't positioned exactly how she wanted, SMACK. If my fingers didn't move fast enough, SMACK. If I blinked wrong? Honestly, I'm surprised I didn't get smacked for that too. It felt more like dealing with a correctional officer than a nail tech. I was genuinely afraid to move my fingers because every tiny adjustment was met with a disciplinary tap, as if I was being punished just for existing. (There were other men there who actually took responsibility, such as the ones who asked for a refund after she added gel when we didn't request it -- and she charged us for a spa treatment instead of the usual $20 fee.) At that point, I was just expecting to be charged extra for breathing or emotional distress. If you enjoy being treated like an inmate instead of a client, this is the place for you. If not, run. Protect your hands. read more

I wanted to try a new nail place so I went here and I think I got the "new guy". I told him my colors and quietly under his breath he asked me a question and his boss who I'm assuming was the manager told him shhh shhh no and mumbled to him something in Vietnamese which I also assume was don't ask just do. I asked him if the question he asked me was do I want shilack (however you spell it) and he said oh yes it was. I felt like they were trying to sneak an extra $5 in by not "asking me if I wanted that. Then once I told him I approved of the shilack it lasted less than two weeks! I thought this stuff was supposed to last longer or at least two weeks isn't that why you pay the extra. Needless to say I was very disappointed and won't be returning to be ripped off again. read more

I love this place so much! The staff here are so nice and really attentive. I came in with my sister and mother for a little pampering one day. I got my nails really long. After realizing they were too long for my liking I came back the next day to get them shortened. I was expecting to pay, of course. But I was surprised by the end that they were happy to have done the nail shortening for free. Plus they were very attentive to my boyfriend as well by bringing him a free beverage and he wasn't even a paying customer. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a relaxing mani/pedi read more

Writing this review is truly heartbreaking. I've been to this establishment for 4 years. Always had great service. I made friends with almost every employee. Having that connection truly made a difference. Until now. Since become a new mom I never leave my home other than to go to work and get groceries. I decided to treat myself to a pedicure for a late Mother's Day gift. 2 days later I felt bumps around my ankle. Thought made some type of bug bit me when I was walking through my front yard. Then 5 days passed and I had spots appear on my ankle and lower legs, similar to how chicken pox look. On the 6th day, I started getting concerned and so I called the spa to inform them I was heading to Texas Med because I believe I may have gotten some allergic reaction to something from their shop. Of those as any business they tried to assure me everything is clean there. After I left Texas Med on the 6th day I was informed that I had FUNGUS on my legs!!! I was in such shock. They told me how it can take 4-6 weeks to get rid of, how it's contagious, and how much of a health hazard this can be. I was given oral medication and ointment to apply. It's been 9 days since I've visited Texas Med and my feet/lower legs are completely covered in fungus!! I am now going to seek medical treatment with my PA in hopes that she can find a quicker solution to this. It's only getting worse each day. I was conflicted on writing this post but I came across someone how posted something similar a year ago from this same location, she had gotten fungus as well but in her toe. I'm writing this to help prevent anyone else from experiencing what I'm currently going through. I cry everyday from this. I have to wear pants and socks 24/7 so that my 8month baby doesn't get infected. Fighting the urge to not scratch, having to endure the pain of my legs and feet burning. I pray no one else experiences this pain. read more

I love how clean and pretty it is in here: they have a huge selection of colors, gel colors, dip powder and acrylic powder. The staff is super friendly and the drinks are good too. Both my feet and hands were done beautifully and I'm definitely going to become a regular. Their prices are really good, at least for me, I moved from Dubai where nail upkeep was extremely expensive, and I'm originally from NJ so the prices are super similar to NJ so I thought that was a plus. They do have promotions and discounts which is a plus too. They did my fill in over someone else's work because I got them done in NJ while visiting my mom and it was super neat and pretty. My pedicure was the best part too. I got the nu skin and it definitely does what it says in the description. read more

From the second we walked in the doors we had an amazing experience. The sweet smell of candles burning greeted us. The salon was impeccably clean. They use all natural ingredients, which I really like. We got here during a lull and had no wait at all. Linh did an amazing job on my nails! She has magic hands that give an incredible calf massage! I had picked a color from the color book but when she started to apply the color to my nails, I didn't like it so she graciously removed the color and let me pick a new color. She told me she wanted me to love my nails. While I got my pedicure, my niece got a new set of dip acrylic nails applied. Katie spent time making sure they were perfect. Before we even left the salon, she was already getting compliments on her nails. Will definitely come back and highly recommend this salon. read more

Each time I come in here they are always sooooo busy, which is great business for them! But they never turn customers away. Instead of saying they don't have the time, they ask the customer to wait... then 30+ minutes goes by and the customers end up walking out. There are only two techs that I've noticed who do nails, and I don't think they've ever had a conversation with me. I've been coming in every 3 weeks for about 6 months. I always come back because I think the next time it would be better but it's just getting worse. I went in one week ago to get my acrylic nails taken off and to get a gel mani. I was charged $60 for my nails to look like this (this is one week grow out, but you can see how awful the cuticles look). They had grooves in almost all of the nails and four of my nails are already peeling. I refuse to keep giving them money for nails to look like this.. please hire more staff or train the other ten people doing pedicures how to do nails so the nails techs can take their time with their customers! I would suggest this place for pedicures only.. read more

They never disappoint and ALWAYS do a clean job. I like that they are always asking me to make sure I want a certain length or color. I wasn't sure about a color and Katie offered to try it on one nail to see if I like it which I appreciated because some nail techs I've experienced in the past wouldn't even bother to ask me.

I am one that NEVER complains. I just don't go back to places. I don't like bad-mouthing local or small business at all. However this is different. Yes I wanted a manicure and I know the polish doesn't last as long as shellac or gel. I informed the nail tech I did not want the drill so that's why I just got a manicure. I just moved to Texas leaving behind a talented nail tech that could do shellac and gel without drilling on your nails and it could last!! However nail techs at Athenas do not have that talent. They said they have to use the drill. So I settled for a manicure. The manicure was done in the pedicure seat. I do not care if they are trying to get you in and out that is so unprofessional and not relaxing at all. Myself and my three friends were the only people at the time in this slow shop. I should have known something then. I digress. I feel that because I did not get the shellac or gel they rushed and did such a poor job. Then to have the nerve to charge $25 on a basic ass manicure that was literally a 60 second dip in water. Unprofessional and talentless. I looked at reviews prior to going and I was excited. But not being able to do shellac and gel without drilling on people's nails is beyond me. I've been on my natural nail journey for a while and this shop doesn't know how to cater to that. read more

Honestly, the worst pedicure I have gotten. Usually a place is bad if they are just mediocre, but this was just BAD. I understand staff constraints with COVID. If you don't have the staff to accommodate walk ins, then don't allow walk-ins. No cuticle remover or callous remover was used. But my nails and heels were scraped aggressively. The nail tech used a hard brush to scrub the tops of my feet very aggressively and they still hurt! On top of that, I waited 30 minutes in cold water before he came by just to have him leave right after filing my toes. I chose their most expensive pedicure $60 Herbal pedicure. After this experience I just knew he wouldn't have taken the time or care to make the pedicure worth it so I asked for a regular pedicure instead. It was still not worth it in my opinion because the polish job was terrible. There are gaps and he used way too much polish at once, to be done sooner. I had to clean it up myself. Most nail salons have just been mediocre. This is downright BAD. My mom got a pedicure with Kristy and said she was great. So if you are going to come here, ask for Kristy! read more

Honestly I'm frustrated with this place because of what I am currently dealing with right now. I went with Christy for my pedicures. I loved her because of how nice she did my toes and how nice she massaged my legs. The next time I went with her, I noticed discoloration in my left big toe. I thought it was from the nail polish before but no, it was hurting as she was cleaning my nail. I took off paint, looked inside my toenail, did some research and I had got fungus in my toenail. She lifted my toenail from my toenail bed. Now I have a toenail fungus and have been very hesitant with the medication the doctor gave me due to it being bad for liver and all these bad side effects. Medication is Terbinafine. I'm stressed out because of this. I am mainly worried about taking this medication because I don't want anything to happen to me - death, the bad side effects that can be permanent since I have kids. I am never coming here again and I know it can happen anywhere but now I am scared for anyone to even touch my feet. I have to make sure their supplies is clean and to remind them to be gentle since I had a bad experience when I shouldn't. When this should be in y'all's minds to begin with, however please be careful with your customers and how you clean their toes and if you're barely or not doing it, please sanitize tools. read more

I told her I was trying to grow them out for months after I stopped using Dip Powders. She hooked me up and made them look pretty even if the nails weren't long. Kudos to her and thank you for not letting me feel embarrassed about the state of my toes and nails, LOL!! She'd just say "It's okay! I'll take care of you!" :-)

I was so happy to return to San Antonio after the long hiatus and get back in Eva's chair. Before applying gel, she did a very light buff to help protect my natural nails.

Beyond her skill and attention to nail health, Eva is also so creative and always wears the most inspirational designs.

With busy schedules, I found a day that worked for everyone and booked my appointment. I arrived about an hour early so I could enjoy the hot tub before my massage. I was also planning to take advantage of the spa amenities afterward and grab lunch at one of the restaurants. About 10 minutes before my appointment, I put on my robe and headed to the waiting area. As my appointment time came and went, I watched every other guest get called back for their massages while I continued to wait. After another 10 minutes had passed, I finally went to the front desk to ask what was going on. The manager came out and informed me that there had been a miscommunication and my massage therapist was unable to make it to work that day. Unfortunately, there were no other therapists available and no alternative appointment times. I was simply told they were sorry and that I would need to reschedule. At that point, I broke down in tears. This wasn't just a massage, it was my birthday gift and my first opportunity to step away from the chaos and demands of postpartum life. Having that experience taken away without any notice was incredibly disappointing. To their credit, they did offer me a complimentary massage whenever I am able to rebook, which I appreciated and accepted. However, this was a very disappointing first impression. A simple phone call before I arrived could have saved me the time, effort, childcare arrangements, and emotional letdown.

I've been going to Athena Nails & Spa for a long time, and I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else! Every visit is such a great experience the salon is always clean, welcoming, and relaxing. The staff truly go above and beyond to make sure you leave happy, and their attention to detail is unmatched. My nails always turn out perfect, and the quality lasts way longer than other places I've tried in the past. They offer so many services, and everything from manicures to pedicures feels like a treat. It's clear they really care about their clients and take pride in their work. If you're looking for a salon that's consistent, professional, and makes you feel pampered every single time, Athena is the place! read more

Lee--and all of the staff--are kind, patient, and they do fabulous nails at very reasonable prices. In the Stone Oak area, I would pay $90 for the exact same pedicure that costs $55 at Athena. This means I can tip better. They ask if you want gel or shellac for a Pedi, but they aren't as pushy as other nails salons, either. In short, they are kind, they give you what you ask for, and the price is excellent. And the salon is pristine. read more
