    Dip powder on natural nails
    Skyler S.

    I went here on a Saturday evening to get dip powder on my natural nails and didn't even have to wait. Staff is super nice and I loved how my nails turned out.

    EM nails did a fantastic job with my nails! I have previously had really bad experiences getting my nails done and was wary of trying again, but Chloe did an awesome job. The nails I got were just like what I had shown in my reference photo. Even though I was definitely being a little indecisive and annoying, Chloe was so patient with me and really gave me the sense that she wanted me to be happy with what I am paying for! I loved how she took her time without doing a rushed job even though it was so late. Anytime I wanted something to be fixed/modified, I didn't feel like I was irritating her and she was quick to see what I was trying to communicate. Although this set was a bit more expensive than what I've gotten previous times, it is well worth the quality and service. I am incredibly happy with my nails, will definitely be coming back.

    Found this nail salon googling from my Waze app. Want to find a nail salon on my way to Dallas without going to far off I-35. I called them while I was about an hour out and they were very helpful with scheduling me an appointment for that day. Once I arrived I was kindly greeted. The salon had all different options from powder, gel, acrylic and so many colors to choose from! KN was very nice and made me feel comfortable in the new establishment offering a complimentary beverage. Q was attentive and ask how I wanted my nails and finished up my gel fill beautifully. The salon was very clean and they even book karaoke birthday mani and pedi parties. I would definitely recommend this salon if you are local or just passing through Waco! They even accept Apple Pay!! PS Q never rushed on my nails. He took his time and they came out just as I liked!

    honestly don't listen to the bad reviews great place. very friendly and clean. price is a bit high but so worth it,i LOVED the way my nails came out. i also didn't have an appointment and took me in as soon as i walked in (they also weren't busy). this place never misses!

    Every time I have gone I have gotten tips with dip and my nails have always lasted about a month! They do charge extra for shaping etc. but it's always worth it. I've seen a few reviews from people who did not like their shape, or were not happy with the results, but they do their best to communicate with you while you are getting your nails done, and if you speak up and do the same you will most definitely get the result you want, there's also a sign in their store saying "we want you to love the results if you're uncomfortable speaking up text this number" which is nice! The only problem I've had before is they get VERY busy (they're servicing basically all the baylor girls) so even if you made an appointment online, chances are they don't really care about that and they focus on first come first serve. Lovely place, I would recommend :)

    Overpaid for a mani/pedi to begin with. The girl doing my nail (dip) said she was finished and i asked her if she could please cut the dry skin and get all the paint off my skin. It looked awful. She was ready to leave as it was 6:30 but they close at 7. Then that night the toe polish peeled off so I went in to have the toes repainted. The male owner the night before said they have a 10 day satisfaction policy (free repair if paint is defective). When the girl who did my nails was assigned to fix my toes, she sanded the black polish off and it splattered all over my white jeans. Then she rubbed it and smeared it. I asked for a partial refund and the female owner (i think) said "no refunds, go home and bleach your pants". I will never return here and will tell my local friends not to frequent this place either.

    Broken dip nails

    I came here last Tuesday to get my dip done for the first time since moving back near the area. I travel 30 minutes just to go here but their stuff has decreased in value. I had two nails break 5 days after having my nails dipped. Went back to get it fixed and the same nails broke again that night. I'm going out of town so I was hoping having my nails done would take away some stress for me but it only added to it. I don't recommend getting dip done here! Will sadly be looking for a new place to get my nails done at.

    Great service! Friendly techs! Clean location! Big selection of high quality nail colors! I was in Waco for work and thought I'd get my nails done since I have some time to spare. Glad I found this nail salon! I'm always nervous going to a salon I haven't been to before. Now I wish it was in Houston because it's that great!

    Went for the first time, and walked out more than satisfied ! They did an amazing job on my nails and feet

    Took about 30 min for these two coats and big gaps. *pic doesn't capture how bad they were

    Honestly, disappointed. We waited 30 min after they said 10 min wait. the man doing my friend's nails left her 5 times to tend to other customers' nail care. They were very rushed doing my nails so the outcome was disappointing. felt like I over paid for my experience and outcome. The tools they used weren't clean and my towel still had cuticles from the most recent customer all over it. I do feel bad because they only had about 7 workers to get to 20 clients. But I'd rather them have told me that they were too busy or be honest about the wait time, so that I could have saved time and money.

    Had my bachelorette party in Waco. My six ladies and I were welcomed with wine and awesome massage chairs! The pedicures were amazing, the atmosphere was awesome. The nail techs were very skilled and hilarious! One of them cheered with us with his alcohol bottle! At the end of it, we were all very happy and relaxed and ready to go play party games. Thank y'all so much!

    Dip powder

    I'm just sad. I have been here a while ago and don't remember any bad past experiences so I decided to try again after not wanting to travel the extra 15 mins to my normal salon. I didn't see the prices listed anywhere to begin with. I picked out my color but once she put it on it looked nothing like the one on the color list, I think those colors need to be repainted after sitting out because the color I chose looked like a soft nude and mine came out light peach/pink. Whatever, that's not necessarily their fault. I then asked her if she could trim my cuticles, she continued to make each of them bleed :( i also asked her to round the edges but to not make my nails shorter and I walked out with tiny nails. All on top of that I looked at my nails this morning to see all the dip has cracked. I haven't even done anything and my nails look like this. Im just really disappointed and I hate writing bad reviews but there's so many places that can do better for $45.

    so dirty. words can't describe how dirty it is. and the guy doing my nails was sick and it was absolutely horrible. worst experience I've ever had at a salon.

    Very pleased! I've been to many, many doctors and aestheticians all over the US - from Dr. Sheila…read moreNazarian in LA to Trifecta MedSpa in NYC - so I've got a decent sense of how knowledgeable and skilled practitioners are. (For example: I'll "joke" about having my platysmal bands removed, and it becomes clear the person has no idea that platysmotomies are even a thing. Yeah. I just have them Botox my crows feet and be on my way.) I quickly got the feeling that Dr. Smith both knows a LOT about facial structure and has some aesthetic sense, so I was willing to go for something a little more involved than I'd normally be: 7 syringes of Bellafill in temples and under eye. Despite popping Arnicas for 2 days prior, I swelled up unrecognizable after the 2nd treatment (3 syringes). The 4 photos left to right are: before, immediately after, 36 hours after, and 6 days after. So obviously if you get a few syringes of filler, maybe don't schedule an appearance that week, and don't freak out if you swell up like I did. (From what I can gather, I'm in a minority of people who swell up this badly.) Dr. Smith knows that he's doing and I'll definitely be returning next time I'm in Waco.

    I am picky. I have been to several Drs for a wiggly and crinkly chin. I get charged for a full…read moreBotox bottle that I don't need and end up with a chin that drags and causes my jowls to be VERY prominent . Body Refinery is the ONLY place that eliminates the chin wiggle, doesn't cause my jowls to worsen and doesn't over charge. I want to look natural, not like I've had procedure done that's gone to g. I drive down from Prosper/Dallas to have this done and it's worth it. I just found out he has a place in Waxahachie that he is starting so now even the drive time is less. I highly recommend Dr Smith!!!!
