Ok ladies... I don't know about you, but I've lived in the North Lamar neighborhood near Braker and…read moreI-35 for the past ten years. Sadly, I can HONESTLY say that I have tried every nail salon from Cameron Rd to the Domain - and I am not afraid to pay for quality. I can literally attest to the fact that I will pay a nail tech extra so that I receive a comfortable and not painful pedicure and a beautiful manicure or nail set. Well, almost out of actual fear that I won't get an appointment with my favorite nail salon (jokes) , I MUST recommend DK Nails at Braker and I-35 near Whataburger. Kim and her staff are amazing! My pedicure, that I have a delicious choice of for a fair price, is always relaxing and done well by Kim's staff. Kim, herself, is an incredible nail technician. Not only are my nails ALWAYS beautiful, but I have never had nail tips that have lasted longer or look more beautiful than when Kim has done them. From the most elaborate nail set to the most basic mani pedi, this salon is great. I love the fact that Kim has her son working with her. He is incredibly skilled and I love knowing that I am helping to support a local, family run business. Bottom line, this hidden gem is a great nail shop. The best thing? Even with a slight raise in prices due to the latest inflation, it's still the best deal in town. The chairs and the quality of Kim's products are excellent. My only advice? If you are having a group of people, call ahead. They have many salon chairs, but are sometimes working with a small, but efficient crew of professionals. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Please note that for 'Claws' type nail sets, Kim charges top dollar and earns EVERY bit of it!! Great and convenient location for North Austin folks.

I walked in and noticed the fans were on, but the AC wasn't working. It felt humid inside. I asked…read moreabout the price for dip powder on my natural nails, which were quite short. She told me it would be $45. There was no wait time just one lady working. I stayed for over 30 minutes, and not a single customer came in. Now I understand why. I wasn't in the mood to drive elsewhere, so I said sure. I chose a soft pink dip powder, but once she started, the color turned out to be more of a peachy coral. She commented, Nice color, hmm, and I just replied with a hmm. I wish I had said it wasn't what I picked, but I thought this can be a new summer color and it's fine. The application, however, was poorly done. It wasn't clean or even. The polish was thick in the middle and thin on the sides just really bad. She kept saying, "Very pretty, yeah?" and I just nodded, looking confused, and kept replying, Yeah, yeah. The place was also unhygienic. At the end, she asked me to wash my hands with soap to see the final result. I did, and dried them with a paper towel. When she reached for my hand to take the towel, I said, It is fine, I'll throw it away, thinking she was just trying to help. But right after I tossed it, she picked it up from the trash can and used it to wipe the table she had just done my nails on. My eyes were wipe open. At that moment, I knew I would never come back. When I gave her my card to pay, I noticed she charged me $50. I asked, Wasn't it $45? She simply replied, Ah ah, 50. That's when I realized she had tipped herself. I just signed, didn't leave any extra tip, and walked out.

I ended up getting a seat within seven minutes and it was really cool because I did not have to wait. The gentleman at the front was really nice when asking me to check in. There are only about five waiting chairs, but they are really comfortable. The gentleman started the water for me and alerted my nail tech. My nail tech was very friendly, and I had a great experience with her, but overall the worst part about all of it was how rushed she was. I had over 45 minutes until they closed for my pedicure but she acted like the building needed to be evacuated! Still, I must say that I've never gotten so many compliments on my toenails as I have this time around. I will absolutely be back!

She even warned me ahead of time, "let me know if it's too strong, I have strong hands," and I immediately said don't even worry because it felt amazing from the start. It wasn't one of those light, surface-level massages. She actually got in there and worked through the tension, and you could feel the relief happening in real time. The kind where you walk out feeling looser, lighter, and like your muscles can finally breathe again. If you're someone who actually wants pressure and results, ask for Tina. She does not disappoint.

This was my second visit, and both times the quality just wasn't there. During my first appointment, I asked to have my cuticles cut. The tech told me he would take care of it with the drill after the dip was applied but it never happened. When I returned for my second visit, the same tech did my nails again and told me the previous person should've cut my cuticles... even though he was the one who did them last time. The actual service wasn't any better. I requested an almond shape, and he just filed my nails to the point where it was painful. The drill hurt and the shaping was uneven. I also felt over charged for what should have been a simple fill. Within a few days, my nails started lifting and even getting caught in my hair. Not only is that frustrating it's a sign of poor application. They already look terrible, and it hasn't even been a week. Overall, I had an awful experience here. Save your money and go somewhere that takes their time and does quality work.
