I absolutely love this nail salon! Mindy and Lili are AMAZING. So talented, so sweet, and they always make sure I leave happy. Every time I get my nails done here, they last well over two weeks with no lifting or chipping. The service is consistently great, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the quality is unmatched. Highly recommend to anyone looking for beautiful, long-lasting nails! read more

I have been a customer for over a decade. I can rarely schedule ahead and am always taken care of by anyone who is available - with consistent quality. The salon is very relaxing, clean, and not overly crowded like many others. Staff is friendly and efficient. Most importantly, service is consistent (whether mani, pedi, or both) every single time. My nails regularly last longer than the typical 2 weeks. I will not go anywhere else. read more

Clean calming and professional. Excellent work by all employees . You certainly feel taken care of.

I wanted these cute nails for Christmas and new years! I sat it was going great and then half way through my nail appt a regular walks in I'm guessing cuz all the workers there know her name. Anyways ig they were low on staff cuz the person doing my nails starts rushing to do the regulars nails. The receptionist walks over and starts doing the doing the design I wanted while standing which is hurting my arm cuz I'm having to hold it up for her and while the other girl that's doing my nails is rushing on painting the base color on my other hand. At the end I walk to go pay and I see that there's a lot of spillage so I told the receptionist and they bring my back to the table start drilling the spillage off which mess up my top coat so she had to put another layer of top coat on which made the nails chunker! Don't recommend! I went a month before and it was fine but I only got a single color no design. read more

I used to love this nail salon- this used to be the only one I would go to. I hadn't been in a while and stopped there today. They have sorely fallen from how amazing they used to be. It took my manicurist 30min to start my service from the time they seated Usually the pedicurist asks if the wax is too hot or waits to put your feet in the bags with the wax until it has cooled down- this time she did not ask- my feet got burned from the wax. My pedicure was $70+ and my calluses were not scrubbed at ALL. For how expensive this pedicure was it was definitely not worth the money. They also have a 1 drink policy and only serve white and red wine along with coke and Diet Coke. Definitely not an above and beyond spa experience. read more

Been coming here since day 1. Prices are astronomical. It's not what it used to be... Infected nail...Blamed on me...Expensive mistake. read more

I am rough on my hands- it's dry, lots of cuticles, and it's just bony looking but Bora Bora gives it a good makeover every time. I have been going here now for over a year and for the most part happy with their services. The place is clean and inviting. They offer you drinks and make you feel welcome. The ladies are all nice. They have large selection of nail colors to choose from. But most importantly their service is on point. I leave loving my nails. I highly recommend this place. read more

Bora Bora Nail Salon - Done by Kayla - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

Normally I don't leave reviews but this time I felt like I needed too. I went in for a mani and pedi which is a treat for me bc I don't often get it done for myself. I had two ladies working on me- the one that did my hands was great. She was focused on getting my nails done nicely. (She get 5 stars) the other lady who did my feet - was not good. I paid $100 and she didn't get the callus of my feet- she only did the heel- my feet still have a lot of callus- on top of that she painted my nails horribly. Awful paint job. While trimmings nails- she dug her finger nail on the side of my toe which was painful. I used to love going to this place but it takes one person to ruin the experience for u. On top of that I tipped her. Shouldn't have. read more

I have been going to Bora Bora for 14 years and they are consistently good. Always on time and the instruments they use are opened right in front of you so I know it's clean. My nails always look great. It is a well run business and I highly recommend it read more

I've been going to this nail salon for almost 10 years and I've had nothing but great experiences until about a week and a half ago on my birthday when I went in for a full set. I don't know what happened this time I'm not sure if the person that did my full set was new or if it was the materials maybe and it was all just a fluke. But it's been less than two weeks and half my nails are already lifting off of my nail bed and one nail has completely fallen off. I'm giving them three stars because my pedicure was great as always but my full set was for my birthday and it was supposed to last me at least a month like always. I'm so sad and disappointed with my bit Update: it's been 24 Hrs and 2 more nails have fallen off. Had to change to 1 Star. I've never had this experience before with Bora Bora . I'm so disappointed. read more

I have been going to Bora Bora Nail Salon for awhile now and they have ABSOLUTELY SAVED MY NAILS When I went a few months ago, I had just taken the shellac off my nails, and they were in bad shape. My nails were brittle, splitting and they looked horrible. I got a refresher manicure and have been back several more times and gotten the same manicure....my nails are much healthier, stronger and do not split I highly recommend this nail salon. Very professional, very clean and I have been to all different ladies, and they all do a great job. I will definitely keep coming back. read more

I used to go to this salon for years prior to the pandemic. I don't know what happened to them but now they are way overpriced and so the worst work I've ever seen. My last visits, I was cut twice! My daughter just went there and asked for French manicure but with red tips. They not only did an hombre nail but the ugliest hombre nail I have ever seen. She told them she didn't like it. They told her it would look better after the filing. It was worse. They, of course, blamed her and were no help. Bad work. High prices. Terrible service. Please try Glam Nails off Memorial instead. read more

I was hesitant going to my favorite nail salon, so I made the last appointment of the day. I was the only customer inside, besides my manicurist and the owner. She wore a mask and plastic face cover and gloves the entire time She assured me she sanitized the entire seat before I sat down I wore a KN95 mask just to make sure I felt comfortable. My manicurist told me she also worries, so she takes every precaution I left feeling not as nervous as I thought I would have been. I felt as safe as I could be. I know I won't be back for awhile, because as Houston opens up more and more, I won't get as lucky as I did today to be there as the only client. I definitely applaud the extra care, sanitation and wearing PPE to keep both of us safe and well read more

I definitely recommend them! I was there 1st time in July 2022 to have my mani & pedi for my Wedding, and I was kinda nervous as I decided based on the reviews - and they did not disappointed. Kim did my shellac and it was perfect. My daughter in law did the dipping and was very pleased. I already went back 2x. I had other ladies and so far all of them were really good. And I love their massage chairs, comfortable and work nicely. read more

the nail tech Vy always does an amazing job on my nails, turns out how i want them every time. shes really nice and i definitely recommend!

Staff was relatively nice, but didn't really talk with us while we got the classic mani and pedi. While trimming my nails, the lady actually got my skin with my thumbnail, and acted surprised when I reacted and said ouch, didn't even apologize for it. Mani was nothing to be excited about. Few nails had bubbles in them, and some spots were missing the top coat making it look a little strange. The girl that did my pedi, was also not very personable. She didn't remove the actual calluses. Bottom of my feet still have calluses and rough patches :( other than that, my toe nails look awesome read more

Clean, great service. Nail polish lasts longer. I always make an appointment with Yasmin because she knows what to do with an ingrown toenail. The only complaint I have is they charge a bit more than other places in the area. read more

I wouldn't recommend 1.the customer service sucks 2. the women who did my nails tried to pull a fast one on me when I asked before she started if they charge for short lengths and I told her I would like straight narrow and she did coffin shape knowing that it was $5 more but AGAIN without telling me. 3. The whole time she acted like she didn't want to work and do my nails and didn't say a word. 4 when she was doing the powder there were some bubbles on my thumb so I asked her to fix it and of course right away she started talking shit in Vietnamese (which I understand) to one of her coworkers which then came over to the table to look. And of course she acted like there was a problem to me asking her to fix it ... It's crazy how you pay for a service and they don't expect you to correct or speak on what you want . Wouldn't recommend this place at all read more

I have been here 3 times but will not be going back. The lady at the front desk is always rude and rushing me to pick a color. When i walked in, the technicians were waiting for me, staring and mumbling in their language. As soon as i sat down, they started cracking jokes and through out the service, they kept laughing and i felt like they were talking shit about me or my nails. They have a sign that says "please enjoy your service in silence" but they literally never shut the fuck up. I paid $65 for my pedi which only lasted 40 minutes instead of 65 minutes like they say. I paid $45 for mani with shellac . If im paying this much money just for service, i expect them to treat me with respect and not throw my hands down when changing hands or sighing out of stress while working on me. And then the shellac technician started filling her nails in front of me while waiting for my nails to dry. How unprofessional. I also want to add, if you get classic mani, they SUCK at painting your nails.. they leave bubbles and streaks, even parts that are unpainted. Just because i don't understand your language doesn't mean we can't read body language and look at your eye movement, i Could sense them laughing at me and being judgmental. One star for bad service (starting with the front desk). Will not recommend. read more

Inconsistent. A month ago my sister and I went in for a manicure and 2 pedicures. My sister's nail tech was super rough and during the entire visit the nail techs talked and talked and talked. We spoke to the manager who said they were not suppose to be talking while working and she would deal with it. Two weeks later I went in alone to get a full set. Kayla did an amazing job and my nails looked super. And today............It was a disaster. My nail tech didn't shut up the entire time and talked to the two nail techs 2 chairs down !! My fill is lumpy and the underside of my nails are rough and I'll have to file them myself. I'm sorry. I spend a good amount of money not only for the service but the opportunity to relax. Listening to them chat and cut up is NOT what I am paying for. Obviously the manager still hasn't gotten the point across. read more

My mom somehow found Bora Bora and has treated me to some mani-pedi pampering on my visits home. Last week I went on my own before Thanksgiving because I really needed to clean my nails up. I love going to Hana as she is very sweet and precise. I opted for some crazy glittery toe polish, which my brother's girlfriend said made my toes look like mirrors. I usually get the classic manicure and the herbal pedicure. My herbal selection is usually a green tea with lemon and ginger concoction. The massage chairs are very nice, and the pedicure tubs are lined with plastic - everything is very clean. There are so many colors to choose from for polish too. I enjoy the herbal pedi perks which is includes paraffin wax. This is a great place to unwind and pretty up your nails. Guys are welcome too! My brother and Eric R. have enjoyed some pampering here too! read more

I spent years looking for a nail shop because I'm pretty picky about my nails (yes I can admit it.) I got so tired of being cut every time I tried a new place, and it would take weeks for my cuticles to heal. I finally found bora bora and I have been so pleased with their services that I'm an every two week regular. I refuse to go anywhere else now. They are very accommodating and no matter what kind of color or change to my nails I want, they make it happen with a smile. Im also a busy person so i was also looking for somewhere that they do your nails and pedicure in the pedicure chair at the same time, (not many places do that, and I don't have time to be there for 2.5 hours while having my services done separately-again, yes i know I'm picky), so I love that it's all done at the same time. It's best to have an appointment but they usually can get you in same day if you call ahead, and they ALWAYS stick to your appointment time. (You never have to sit and wait if you have an appointment.) I definitely recommend Bora Bora! The best of the best ( in my opinion). read more

Bora Bora Nail Salon - Wanted my favorite color and bora not made it happen! - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

Bora Bora used to be worth the money - although the staff continuously talks about the customers with no refrain. I recently went with my 10 year old daughter, and was charged $63 for her shellac pedicure. Maybe that might be normal, but I would hope not. In addition, it was the most uncomfortable experience. The ladies seem very overworked and slightly ugly to the clientele as a result. Unfortunately i spent almost $300 on two shellac pedicures, my gel refill and my 10 yr old daughters basic manicure. Will not be going back. read more

Going to keep it short and sweet* The labor is amazing .. especially the $35 pedi that offers a massage at the end* I request the same person because She understands and caters to My needs so We're comfortable with each other and She does My massage perfectly but if for any reason I was getting a massage that felt like a deep tissue session I would gladly say ease up to those who say the massage was too hard .. possibly You were very tenses and You feel the tension being removed which does HURT! ATTENTION******* I am very stern about where I spend My hard earned money so world class customer service is a must if I'm paying You for Your services with the same courtesy and respect given. Is Their customer service acceptable absolutely not the BITCH is so rude and I believe She is the owner She's there everyday from opening to closing and sets all appointments. Stevie Wonder can notice this ... is Her RUDENESS acceptable absolutely not but the labor is so good from My tech I politely smile or smirk whichever She's like for the day in the few times I have gone and have spent at least 70 on services for mani/pedi .. not the point the here though .. does She need a reality check maybe but She is obviously set in Her ways so so be it if She is unhappy and needs to get laid .. I won't take it out on Her techs because They are all truly Amazing .. They all speak fluent English and are very nice .. If You do or don't want to be casual You have that option ... complimentary water is always a plus ... it's super CLEAN for My anal OCD so with that being said I give three stars ... "You Can't Win Em All" read more

The customer service amazes me at Bora Bora. After your first visit they know your name and use it frequently, they pull your pedi tools before you arrive, they remember if you like the water tepid, warm or hot. When you walk in, everything is ready. The only thing you have to do is relax and enjoy the experience. You are in good hands. As the owner promised, the front reception area is prettier than my first visit. There is a stunning "waterfall" chandelier over the desk and flowers adorning the area. I give them kudos for reading my initial review and taking action. I just love Tammy, the best pedicure I've ever had. She takes her time and I leave with the prettiest tootsies in Houston. She has magical hands and the complimentary shoulder massage puts me into a coma. When I leave I am so relaxed and stress-free. This place rocks! read more

It had been a year since last visit so opted to give one more try. Solo trip. Had appt today. Pluses -$ 49 for refresher manicure & classic pedicure - massage, salt scrub, wrap -they are much better with pedicure than manicure -free cold bottle of water -massage chairs - I think they were updated but I preferred previous one -left feeling relaxed Areas of improvement -front desk person not so friendly -when I got home, I looked at my fingernails and the polish was clumpy, sand like texture - I think they need to get new nailpolish bottles! read more

I brought a friend here from out of town to get pedis. The reviews gave me really high expectations, but we both thought this place was just okay. The Classic pedicure entails a salt scrub, hot rocks and a shoulder massage. Other minor things include a heated pad thing that they throw around your shoulders...doesn't do much, if you ask me. Same for the massage chairs...they're okay, but I couldn't adjust the settings to where it actually felt good. The salt scrub doesn't feel good, but the after-effects are great! If the hot rocks are too hot, they will cool them off for you. The shoulder massage is a nice touch, but be prepared to walk out with greasy shoulders from the oil--you might want to wear a tube top or something else that will prevent oil from getting on your clothes. They did a good job painting my toenails so I can't really complain about that. I will say what probably contributed to my mediocre feel for this place was the rushed attitude of the employees. We had an appointment that we booked the day of, but I'm not sure if they overbook because they seem very eager to move us out. Even though they technically started on our pedis before our appointment time... I will say their prices are reasonable...$33 for the classic pedi that we had. Color selection is about average for nail salons. It just depends on what you look for with getting a pedi. If you want people who will be quick and still pamper you somewhat, this is a good option. If you prefer more of a relaxing experience and inviting atmosphere, then this may not be the place for you. read more

First of all, a shellac manicure is FIFTY DOLLARS. That is ABSURD! I almost talked myself out of it, but I decided to go through with it afterall. When I got in the chair, I showed them a picture of what I wanted - a simple chevron design on one finger. No biggie, right? They looked at me like I just demanded their first born children. I was told they can't do designs with shellac. It wasn't possible. Absolutely ridiculous. So I told them forget the shellac - I can get what I want with the design in shellac for $30 at my normal salon. The lady who runs the front desk + the one who was going to do my manicure immediately became very rude and rough. I opted to do a normal manicure. The lady clipped my cuticles too close a number of times and it HURT! I can't remember who did my pedicure, but she was great. Only good thing. Well, it's been about 7 hours since I left, and two ENTIRE nails have peeled off. Not just normal chipping... the entire thing came off in one sheet. This has NEVER happened to me. Unacceptable. Overall, it's overpriced, subpar work, with (mostly) rude staff. Will never return and will let everyone know to avoid this place. read more

Great experience! They are located across from Memorial City Mall. It's a small, clean salon with friendly employees. I found their prices to be reasonable for the level of service provided. They offer manicures, pedicures, full nail sets, refill nails, parrafin wax treatments, eyelash and eyebrow tinting, and face and body waxing. I had the classic pedicure and a manicure. The women were very nice, and talked with me a bit, but weren't overly chatty. The sign on the door said they recommend having an appointment, but walk-ins are welcome. I was fortunate that they could take me right away, but I would probably make an appointment in the future. Great place, I'll be back! read more

Since going to the spa in fountains area close to sugarland Lady finger , i have found Bora Bora the cleanest spa I've Ever been too.

If i was only rating the quality of the shellac's manicure and pedicure, i would rate much higher, but the low rating is because of the price add-ons that make a very basic shellac mani-pedi well over $100 before tip. I realize that great nail service isn't cheap, but given the difference in "included" perks at most salons for the same price, this is just way too expensive for what you get. My sister got a shellac pedicure and a manicure with no polish and spent over $130 before tip. Will not go back! read more

Have visited twice now and big times had a great pedicure. Jackie and Kelley both do fabulous jobs. A basic spa pedicure includes a massage on the legs, hot stones and a heated wrap on your shoulders in the mean time. While your toes dry they wrap up with a shoulder massage. Appointments made both times and started on time. Really enjoy this nail spa salon. ** oh and not sure if it is a rule or not but there aren't people on their cell phones being loud and rude. You can actually relax and enjoy some down time. read more
