    I absolutely loved my experience at Drip Nail Salon in the Heights. Miriana did my hard gel set and her work was flawless, super clean, precise, and beautifully done. She really took her time and paid attention to every detail, which made such a difference. On top of that, the vibe of the salon is everything: very neutral, minimalistic, and cutesy in the best way. It feels calm, stylish, and intentional without being overdone. I left beyond happy with my nails and the entire experience. Highly recommend Miriana if you want quality work in a space that feels as good as it looks.

    Shows how my nails looked when I left the salon

    I had a very disappointing experience at this salon and felt completely disregarded as a customer. I arrived for my 9:30 a.m. appointment only to be told that my nail technician had called in sick and that the salon had attempted to notify me at 9:15 a.m. By that time, I was already on the road and nearly at the salon. While I understand that emergencies happen, giving a customer only 15 minutes' notice for a cancellation is extremely frustrating and shows very little respect for the client's time. I asked whether another technician could perform the manicure, and a technician named Ab took over. During the appointment, he casually told me that he had been out with my original nail technician the night before and that they had gone bar-hopping together. Hearing that was upsetting because I had been told she was too sick to come to work. Whether or not that was the reason for her absence, it immediately made me question the explanation I had been given. After he applied the builder gel and polish, I noticed that several nails looked noticeably uneven. One side of multiple nails appeared much thicker and higher than the other, creating a ballooned, lopsided appearance. In addition, large portions of the sides of my nails were left without polish, leaving my natural nail visible. When I politely pointed out these concerns, I expected a professional discussion or an attempt to correct the issues. Instead, I was met with defensiveness and blame. I was told that I was wasting his time and that the problem was caused by my natural nail shape. While I understand that no one's nails are perfectly symmetrical, that does not explain why multiple nails had obvious product buildup on one side and incomplete polish coverage on the other. The technician then removed everything with a visibly poor attitude. Rather than trying to resolve the situation, he brought over the cashier and I felt as though I was being confronted for raising legitimate concerns about the quality of the work. After spending an hour in the salon, I left with no completed manicure and nails that looked worse than when I arrived. What shocked me most was that they still charged the full price of the service. I asked the cashier to contact the manager or owner and explain what had happened, but I was told that management instructed them to charge me in full despite the circumstances. I told them that this was unreasonable as they had taken off everything and left my nails looking worse (I have attached photos of how my nails looked when I left the salon). The entire experience from the last-minute cancellation, to the poor workmanship, to being blamed for pointing out obvious issues, and finally being charged full price for a manicure that was removed left me feeling disrespected and taken advantage of. Everyone can make mistakes, but what truly matters is how a business handles them. Unfortunately, this salon demonstrated poor customer service, a lack of professionalism, and very little regard for its customers' time or concerns. Update: the owner called me and told me she is reporting me to the authorities. This is the worst gaslighting I have ever experienced. She was extremely defensive and did not apologize once. She told me that a service was provided and that I needed to pay. I explained that they messed up my nails then removed everything and left my nails in worse condition. I cannot believe this is even happening. Please do not go here.

    Pathetic Pedicure

    I was excited to try a new spot. The vibe is nice, facility was clean and pretty and the check in was easy. I was assigned a Hispanic male nail tech and a woman who is clearly his friend was my pedicurest. 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.

    My friends recommended Drip to me, so I gave it a shot! First of all, the salon is gorgeous. It's very aesthetically pleasing and unique. Very different from other, very overstimulating salons. Everyone was very kind and I felt comfortable however, my nails did not come out the way I wanted to (the design, color, shape, etc.). I came back to see what they could do to help, and I was really nervous and hesitant because I NEVER complain when it comes to any sort of services, unless it is really making me unhappy, because I know how hard it is to work in the service industry, however, this was necessary. I talked with Linh, who explained she educates all of the technicians and teaches classes. She was very kind and immediately validated my feelings, offered to take off my nails and completely re-do them for free. She took really good care of me and really good care of my nails!! She was so gentle, typically my nails hurt so bad when I get them done and after when the nails are on, but there was no pain at all. THANK YOU LINH and again so validating of my feelings and explained she was grateful I came back, because this is a "good educational moment" and will utilize this to "get better" and make the salon and technicians better overall, which I thought was so great. She even said that I need to speak up if something is wrong so they can help! She had another technician, Marina, do my nails after they were removed because she is very good at and enjoys doing the type of nails and design I requested (Y2k style with French tip). I loveddddd Marina!!! She was also extremely validating of my feelings (encouraging me to speak up if there is anything wrong and just overall made me feel so comfortable). She did a wonderful job on the application, shape, design, and French. I'm huge on shape and I think she did a great job at perfecting the shape of my nails. I am glad I came back and gave them another chance. I highly recommend and specifically ask for Linhh and Marina to do your nails here.

    $100 for a dip manicure that took almost 2 hours. Results were sloppy and the technician was not friendly at all. This seems a niche place for gel polish mainly. I will pay for quality and talent but I didn't care for the results or the experience here.

    I've been back 3 times after finding this place, I love it! The inside has a great aesthetic and is so clean. I've gotten 2 manis and brought a friend with me for pedis. I would suggest always booking online (since it's a smaller shop), which is super easy as they prioritize booked appointments however you can get a walkin in a pinch, but if it's busy you might be out of luck. Parking is a little tough bc it fills up with the stores next to it and the lot is small. Right next to it, there is a paid lot you can park in for ~$8 an hr.

    Jenny is the best! She's so good with looking at what design I want and executing it perfectly! And she's fun to talk to which is always a plus. It's very cute and calm inside, I always have a great experience.

    Honestly super impressed with Drip nails! If you're going to a normal salon, you're paying at least ~$50 for a simple gel manicure. At Drip, the quality of service is much better for around the same cost! I'm a big fan of builder gels, because they help protect my natural nails but it's been so hard to find a salon that does them well until now. Drip also specializes in Gel X extensions, which are a much healthier alternative to acrylics. I made an appointment for 2:30 and ended up waiting ~25 minutes past that, but otherwise had a great experience here!

    I've been to this salon a few times already and have been loving my experience so far. The vibe is very serene. The aesthetics are modern and refreshing. The front desk staff are always welcoming and professional. They offered acqua panna water! Lol made this place feel expensive but the prices are actually reasonable. I've gotten three different treatments on my fingernails (gel x, gel overlay, and just gel polish). I think I personally prefer the gel overlay because it makes my nails feel stronger while retaining the natural look, but if I'm feeling boujee I might go with gel X. I've also gotten two pedicures. Your experience will vary on who you get like most places, but I feel like most of the manicurists and pedicurists here are very skilled. I do recommend Mia for manicures: she's very detail oriented and does a great job cleaning my cuticles. She is also great with designs. I also recommend Ms. Kim for pedicures. She got my toes really cleaned up and also does a great massage. My boyfriend came with me and he also really enjoyed his pedicure. Can't wait to come back for my next visit.

I went in for a shellac pedicure and a short almond builder-gel French manicure. The services came to $164, and I paid $187 including tip. I was told the pedicure was $65, so the manicure came to about $100. My complaint is about the manicure, not the pedicure. Jennifer was great. During the first attempt, Kimmi cut my thumb. The nails were also different lengths, the base looked clear near the bottom, and I could see white spots through the pink. I raised my concerns during the appointment. The owner stayed late to adjust the nails and added tips to two that were too short. I arrived around 5:30 p.m. and left at almost 8:30 p.m. I waited, talked with her, and still tipped because I appreciated her effort. After the adjustment, I was still unhappy with the finished set. The builder gel looks thick and bulky from the side, the shapes and lengths don't look consistent to me, and the French tips vary. I'm posting photos of the first attempt and clearer photos of the finished nails taken four days later. When I called back, I was told they had already tried their best. The owner said she had asked me how things looked throughout the appointment. I appreciate the time she spent trying to fix them, but being polite and tipping didn't mean I was happy with the result. After four years as a customer, I expected a cleaner manicure at this price.

Very clean and spacious located in heights area. It is extremely important to book correctly, if you want a detailed design you have to book "Nail design" and if you have nail removal you also have to include that when booking. To account for the time you need. If you book incorrectly, the nail tech wouldn't know until next client arrives and then they rush or switch you to another nail tech to finish. Although they are still very kind about it, it is clear you have to book correctly. I came for birthday nails in late April and expected it to be pricey but didn't realize nail asking for a 3-D nail design increase price significantly. Normal French tip charge at Adore is $20, so anything additional like polka dots or another color is added on the $20. Total nail design was $60, gel x short is $70, nail removal $10 = total of $140 for nails alone. Although I realize you are paying for art, for their time, dedication, expertise and their patience to design the nail how you want. It is pricey in my opinion. I would go back but only for solid color or French tip only.

The woman at the front desk is welcoming and everyone was kind that I interfaced with. The waiting area is cozy as well. Vivie was an absolute joy to work with and I enjoyed her personality--we had some good laughs! I highly recommend her. Thank you Vivie and Adore Nail Salon. p.s.
