After living in Houston for 10 years, where my nail tech was the absolute BEST! I found it nearly impossible to find a salon in the Austin area that could match that same level of service. And trust me...I looked...I went from nail salon to nail salon, never quite finding "the one." Then one day, I happened to drive past Bamboo Nails & Spa and decided to give them a try. At first glance, they checked all the boxes: clean, friendly, welcoming, and professional. Three years later, they still haven't disappointed me. The service is consistently high-quality and efficient, my nails always look great, and the foot massages seriously cannot be beat. But one of the things I appreciate most is that they have enough staff that there's rarely a wait, and they are always willing to accommodate my last-minute requests, which, if I'm honest happens more often than it probably should. Obviously, I've been gatekeeping this review for a while because it has taken me THREE YEARS to finally write it. ‍ But I have to give credit where credit is due. If you've been searching for a great nail salon in the Austin area, give Bamboo Nails & Spa a try. Trust me--you won't be disappointed. read more

I had a great experience with Teresa at Bamboo Nails & Spa. I came in with some concerns about my nails, and Teresa took the time to explain what the issue was, what could be done to make it better, and what she could do to fix it for now. I really appreciated that she didn't just do my nails she made sure I understood what was going on and how we could move forward. She was patient, knowledgeable, and very detailed with her work. My nails turned out beautiful, and I left feeling much better about them. Thank you, Teresa, for taking care of me! read more

Cynthia (name in the trolley) gave me a pedicure, I was a walk in on a Wednesday afternoon. Ah-mazing!!! I'm from San Diego, was here for work and got the most unexpected treat. I got the $45 one with hot wax treatment. My feet are so soft, my nails are perfect, and she was so kind and nice to be with. Thank you! read more

Wesley was absolutely amazing! He carefully took my old nails off, fixed them up perfectly, and did exactly what I wanted. He was so sweet, patient, and attentive .. checked in with me throughout the entire process to make sure I liked everything. Hands down, this was the best experience I've had in my entire nail journey. I will be coming to see Wesley every single time! Lan was incredibly sweet and truly went above and beyond to make sure my boyfriend had a proper "man"icure as well .. She did a fantastic job!! Thank you, Lan and Wesley! read more

Bamboo Nails & Spa - Keeping it short, clean, and flawless - Nail Salons Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I have been coming here for years, I would drive one hour there and one hour back GLADLY while Chi was an employee. The past two times I was disappointed my the service I received. I recently went in for my birthday and got a pedicure by Bella. Everything about it was dissatisfying and disappointing. My gel polish wasn't even removed properly, nails were not painted correctly, callus and dead skin was not removed properly my toenails were not even cut properly. That was definitely the last time I make that trip. At checkout I asked if they had any gift or promotion for birthday, the man who is always at the register said I can receive a discount if I paid cash. Not worth wasting time gas and money at this salon. read more

I finally found THE place, staff is friendly, service is quick but also not like rushing. Clean, organized and very pretty to look at.

I visited Bamboo Nails at La Frontera in Round Rock on Friday, 06/05, and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. When I arrived, I specifically spoke with the owner and explained that I suffer from ingrown toenails and sensitive skin. I requested that she either perform my pedicure herself or at least check the work of the pedicure technician she assigned to me. Initially, she assigned one technician, but shortly afterward told me that technician had an appointment and reassigned me to someone else. I believe I ended up with one of the least experienced technicians. Within three days, one of my toenails had partially broken off, and my toes became extremely sore and painful. They have never felt like this after a pedicure before. I am now concerned that I may have developed an infection because of the way my pedicure was performed. To make matters worse, I paid $145 for a pedicure and nails and did not receive the quality of service I expected. My nail service was also poorly done. Tony performed my overlay, but he did not completely remove the old acrylic as requested. The color application was uneven, with visible bubbles, and my manicure was not properly finished. What is most frustrating is that I clearly communicated my concerns and specific needs before the service began, yet those requests were ignored. As a paying customer, I expected professionalism, attention to detail, and safe nail care practices. I honestly considered going back to address these issues, but I decided against it. Based on past experiences, I felt uncomfortable and worried that I would not be taken seriously. It can be intimidating when employees begin speaking among themselves in a language I do not understand, leaving me unsure whether my concerns are being discussed or dismissed. Instead of feeling supported as a customer, I felt discouraged from returning to resolve the situation. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel others should be aware of my experience. Based on the service I received, I cannot recommend Bamboo Nails at La Frontera. I left disappointed, uncomfortable, and worried about the condition of my toes. For the amount I paid, I expected much better service and care. read more

Had my nails done with Kayla today and she was AMAZING! So incredibly sweet, cared what I thought about the job she was doing and more importantly listened and gave me what I asked for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I usually have a good experience and have been coming here for years. Unfortunately, last month, the nail technician cut my foot with a callus removing tool. It was horribly painful and a deep cut. They apologized profusely, but Only gave me a $15 discount. The cut left a terrible mark and is still painful. I will never go back to this place again. read more

Disappointed and Won't Be Returning I called ahead to confirm pricing for a gel color removal and reapplication--they told me it would be $25. Simple enough. When I arrived, the technician kept asking if I needed my acrylic powder removed too, and I clearly said multiple times no, just the gel color. I chose a matte pink color, and she started the service. But when she applied the new polish, I noticed it wasn't matte. I told her right away, and she casually said "oh, matte is $5 more"--after she was already at the final step of the service. At that point, I was frustrated and just said to leave it as is. In the end, I got a color I didn't ask for, was charged extra, and they still tried to upsell me for the matte I initially chose. It felt dishonest and like they were trying to take advantage of me once I was already in the chair. There was a clear lack of communication, and the pricing felt intentionally misleading. Definitely won't be returning. read more

The pedicure itself was great, but the health hazard ruined the visit. While I was in the chair, a tech started using a dremel on someone's nails next to me, and the dust/airflow went right into my face. I had to cover my mouth just to breathe, and even my phone was coated in particles. Staff wear masks, but clients sit there inhaling it. Very unsanitary and unsafe. Do better! read more

The nail salon was clean and updated. Bright and spacious. The employees were friendly and not pushy when it came to me not wanting gel or a more expensive pedicure. I asked for a regular pedicure. The experience was pleasant, but I felt my pedicure was a little sloppy. The employee took nail polish remover and tried to get the excess paint off my skin, but didn't get all of it. Also, I dislike when I get a pedicure and the polish isn't right up to my cuticle. read more

I normally don't write reviews like this. I give amazing tips and always consider how tough it is to run a business. The manicure was good, But the tech was condescending, didn't listened to what I wanted, and made me feel like crap. I had a tough day and wanted a nice relaxing day getting my nails done. This is my 2nd time at this salon. The first time I had asked for 2 colors, Funny Bunny and Bubble Bath over acrylics. The guy that did my nails made the color amazing! I came in for my fill and the tech lady with the silver hair said "no we don't do that. We only do one color and pink as a base." Tried to explain again and got "nope he was lazy, we don't do that" huh? This is after I was already committed. I explained that it was done before and she replied angrily it was a mistake. I had no choice. After she placed the color, she tried to appease me by saying "see? The color doesn't even look different" A really good mail tech knows there's a color difference And that it pinker than I wanted it to be. If you are doing to go here, choose another tech that's not going to talk down at you. read more

Bamboo Nails offers all of your traditional nail and spa services. I came in here to get a pedicure and I felt leaving with a spring in my step. The service was great and affordable and the space was very clean with comfortable seating. They offer you a complimentary drink while you are getting your pedicure. Definitely a great spot I will be going back to in the future. read more

This is not the place if you're new !!!!! This nail shop is a scam. My boyfriend got home and told me their nail tech charged him $105 dollars but the website said it's $85. Beware of the guy nail tech inside. From story's of friend's. He does over charger. We're not going back for a "third times a charm". We would definitely come back if this place take action of this horrible service by refunding the unnecessary $25 dollars on a simple French tip acrylics. Yeah...French tip acrylics are a flat $105 dollars. So rethink of going to this place. Not worth it. I read through the other reviews. And I noticed everybody that's new getting scam read more

I am disappointed with my service. I came in for a refill on my acrylic nail... I don't understand how I leave the shop looking like I STILL need a fill?? Kevin rushes through the service fast and his quality of work shows it. *Update: I I ended up calling and speaking to the manager because my mom said my nails look like crap... the manager asked me to come back in - she said they could not fill them any closer or else they would cu me... so basically this is there BEST work. Honestly, save your money and don't come here... All she could do was fix the shape. The manager had no sympathy and did not care or apologize.10/10 would not recommend. read more

I've been to this nail salon twice now. I got the deluxe pedicure and dip nails. From the time I walked in I was impressed. The salon is clean, bright, open, comfortable and just beautiful. The staff are all friendly and do an amazing job! The prices are on point for what amazing service costs. I love this salon and this is my place now! read more

This was my first ever time getting my nails done, the experience and the nails themselves were lovely. I was super tired so I appreciated how the nail artist didn't over-do small talk and let me just watch her do her thing. The building itself was very clean and has beautiful decorations- I was worried about a strong acetone or nail polish smell because I get light headed very easily, but I couldn't smell a thing! I gave Allison a reference picture of the shape and color I wanted my nails to be, and they are so perfect! I was very impressed with the price as well, for a full Gel X set with french tips, I paid $60 + $13 tip. I don't know much about the process of doing nails or nails in general, but I was also impressed that I walked in at 1pm, got seated and Allison started on my nails not even 5 minutes later, and she finished at 2pm. I will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend Allison! read more

Spa was clean and prompt. However, I felt rushed through and did not feel like there was any value to the process.

My coworker has been getting her nails done at Bamboo Nails & Spa for a while now and she highly recommended MINDY!! I called to book an appt with her and I am NOT sorry!!! She did a fantastic job with both my pedicure and manicure. She pays close attention to detail, making sure cuticles were pushed down and trimmed, she cut and shaped my toes and fingernails perfectly. My nail beds are short but she made them look great. I am so pleased with the services she provided me and I will definitely be making the drive from Leander to RR to see her again. The locale is also taking measures to keep the place clean and safe. All employees were wearing masks, all customers that I saw too, which was reassuring. They took my temp and I was asked to sign with in my name, number and my temp (I assume because of contact tracing-which I really appreciate). There was one chair between me and the next person in the pedicure area. In the manicure are they have installed plexiglass to ensure there is proper distance between you and the nail tech. They are also making payment contactless. You can pay via Venmo. I believe there may be other methods but I choose Venmo. Overall I am very impressed with Bamboo Nails & Spa and especially Mindy! Second time at Bamboo and it was packed but they have made some updates to ensure that everyone is practicing social distance! They've installed some shields around the pedicure stations in order to allow them to use all stations but keep everyone safe. I wanted to see Mindy again but couldn't however Imy did an equally amazing job with my nails today. Barbie pink for a pop of color. I'm a happy girl! read more

I really liked my nail design and my experience was nice but nothing explain expending $150(not including tip) for acrylic nails and pedicure (the most basic one). I got these nail design for my Disney trip and the rhinestones didn't even make it. The first one fell off less than than 12 hours of getting the service done and by day 3, 3/6 have fallen. There's also other things about the acrylics that don't scream profesional but that's the part that bothered me the most since they charge so much extra for the design and adding the rhinestones. The pedicure experiences was okay. Last picture is the set a few minutes after done. read more

i absolutely love bamboo nails! i usually see allison, vivian, or kim for my nails, and they always do an amazing job. my grandmother also goes to kim for pedicures and she adores her. the salon itself is spotless, beautifully lit and has such a relaxing atmosphere. everyone on the staff is so kind and welcoming, which makes every visit a treat. the nail artists are incredibly talented and very thorough- my nails always turn out exactly how i imagined. i also really appreciate that they accept walk-ins, which is perfect for my last minute nail decisions. i've tried other salons in the past, but nothing comapres to the atmosphere, quality, quick service, and fair pricing at bamboo nails, this will forever be my go-to nail salon! read more

Big plus is my margaritas while getting work done! Nails, Margaritas and Massage...how can you go wrong. read more

I went in for acrylics and the nails themselves look very nice, but my problem is with the service. The lady who did my nails filed my skin so hard with the nail file that I'm cut in multiple places. When I noticed one of the cuts I said "I'm bleeding, can I have a bandaid?" and she said "It's just a little blood, you don't need a bandaid" and wiped away the blood with her finger. I have three maybe more cuts on my fingers not to mention skin peeling away. I do not recommend this salon. Price was average for the acrylics. read more

I have been coming to here for about 6 months now and I LOVE this place!! My boyfriend enjoys the pedicures with me which are well priced and we have yet to have a tech who didn't do a good job! I also come here to get my SNS Dip Powder Manicure but I only use Lucas. He's great technically and artistically. If you ask for assistance in color choosing he won't hesitate to give his opinion and he handles my nails with great care. They also have a rewards point system that allows you to gain points and you pay for your services. Once you reach a certain amount of points your rewards can come in the form of $5 off a service and as you earn rewards they don't expire!! I have no complaints about Bamboo! 5 read more

Bamboo Nails & Spa - SNS Dip Powder done by Lucas - Nail Salons Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I've been going here for over a year. I usually see 2 people and have been very happy. when I called to make an apt 2 weeks ago, the usual girl I see had left and the other man was out on a vacation. I needed an acrylic fill, so I asked who could they put me with. they answered that they weren't sure at the moment, but come in at the appointment time and I'll see someone. the entire time I was uncomfortable. he didn't know how to remove my old acrylics properly, didn't even try to cover up what he didn't remove with the new product and I knew they'd lift. I told AND showed the guy at the counter - who still charged me full price and I left. I've been looking for a new place and decided to let it go. until today. like I said, I knew they'd be lifting BUT when I cut down my middle finger- the tip flew off and my entire nail bed is now compromised. it's disgusting and I wouldn't wish this on anyone. PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF THEY TRY TO PUT YOU WITH SOMEONE NEW. this is unacceptable just be careful. read more

I'm so disappointed and sad. The guy stabbed me with an acrylic nail. He clearly didn't know how to remove SNS from my nails. He also couldn't make my nails the same length???? Or make sure my nails didn't have fringes at the end? This was the worst nail salon experience I've ever had. I get my nails done every 3-4 weeks. Today I needed my SNS removed temporarily and I really wish I went to my regular nail salon. read more

First time at this salon and it is evident that they are doing everything in their power to keep their clients and their employees safe. I appreciated the partitions they had between the nail tech and client, and the distancing they allowed between each client in there as well. Incredibly clean, and my nails came out a dream. Special thanks to Kelly to literally nailed the design I wanted! It's best you call ahead and set and appointment, since I've seen this place at their allowable capacity.
