Crystal and Holly is the best. My feet feel and look 20 years younger. The staff is always polite and professional. I tried other places but I always come back here. read more

I recently moved into the area and desperately needed my gel manicure fixed and a pedi. Empress Nails is very clean and beautiful inside, but it about stops there. My pedicure looks great, and the prices were fair, but the massage was a bit lackluster. I told her she wouldn't hurt me, but there still wasn't enough UMPH. To remove my gel manicure, they had me put my entire finger tips into a bucket of acetone. Now, I'm no physician, but I don't think that's good for you. I much preferred if they would wrap them in foil and only use a cotton ball. My fingers hurt after a few minutes, so I had to remove them from time to time to be comfortable. Also, the lady doing my finger nails (Truc?) kept trying to upsell eyebrow work, which I kept telling her I was going somewhere else afterwards to get them threaded. I respect she needs to make an extra buck, but come on. Also, she kept saying how terrible my nails are and upselling something I didn't understand (from her accent) to treat them. The worst part was my nails didn't even look good! After I left and got into the sunlight, I noticed bubbles on my right thumb and a hair embedded on the top of the nail - ugh! I did talk to the guy at the front and ask for a student discount - $5. He didn't have to do that, so it was appreciated. I would come back, but hope I get somebody else besides the two ladies I had during my first time. read more

Empress Nails - Nexgen almond shape - Nail Salons Near Me - Little Elm, Texas

I've been here two times now. I moved from Houston 7 months ago and have been trying to find a good nail salon ever since. None have compared to this place. Ana does an amazing job with Dip NextGen nails!! and Vicki does the best pedicure ever! So relaxing. The prices are great too. $30 for dip nails and $27 for a basic pedicure. This is my new salon to go to. SO happy I found this gem. read more

It all depends on who you get here. Manicure 1/10 pedicure 10/10 When I got there the woman at the front desk was polite and let us look at the nail polish, but quickly seemed annoyed with our presence. I had a mani pedi. The woman who did my pedicure was an actual saint, I never got her name, but she was patient and nice and did an amazing job. I run a lot so my feet were messed up, and it still feels amazing. Unfortunately, my manicure was the exact opposite. It was rushed, she took less than five minutes to be completed. The coats on the nail polish are gloopy and thick and uneven. My thumb is chipped and the nail is ripped so low that it bled. I am so disappointed with this service. The nail polish is coming off as I type this, I'm never getting a manicure here again. read more

I received the Royalty massage and it was very relaxing. I wanted to fall asleep but the massage chair was doing a number on my back which really needed some work. All in all I would say this place is great. I got a back massage and my feet done. read more

Don't even waste your time. The worst nails I've ever gotten in my life and I've gotten plenty. The guy who did my nails literally finished in less than 20 minutes. He got nexgen all over me and in my cuticles. I asked for almond shape, I'm not sure what shape he gave me honestly. I had to come home and file my nails myself and could barely fix his terrible shape. My sister showed the owner a picture of the color she chose and he brought a completely different color and started to apply it (dark pink instead of purple) she was too shy to say something. Only positive is there's this older nail tech named Ashley she was awesome at doing my friends nails took her time and was a perfectionist get my girl a raise. read more

Do not support this place. We walked and was greeted rudely. No one was really there and no one asked us what we were there for and waited for about 5 minutes and ended up walking out. We went down the road to a friendly place. We use to come here often but the last few times weren't great but them them being to the 3 of us was uncalled for unprofessionally and bad for business after being closed for a while. Do not support this place. read more

Witnessed the "manager" talking about a customer today in a derogatory manor. Shameful behaviour that was completely unwarranted, this establishment is in need of a change of management or will continue to lose customers. read more

So it's two days before Christmas and I need a gel manicure and a pedicure. I moved to Frisco about a year ago and haven't found a nail salon that I am really happy with so I decided to give Empress Nails a go. I called at 1:00 PM and set a same day appointment for 4:00 PM. I arrive at 4:00 and see that there are plenty of open chairs. More open chairs than customers really, but I'm glad I made an appointment anyway. I choose my color and was told where to sit and a gal came up and asked which pedi I wanted. I chose my pedi and sat down to soak my feet and the pedi gal starts to work on my tootsies. Ten minutes later and no one has come to wrap my nails to soak the gel polish off so I ask the pedi gal and she assures me someone will be there for me soon. At 4:22 a lady brings me a VAT of acetone to soak my fingers in. I immediately said no, I prefer foils as I have very dry skin and want to use the least amount of this chemical on my nails. Another TEN minutes go by before someone comes to wrap my nails to soak. So the mani lady, (sorry I didn't get names) polishes my nails, and when she is finished I see red polish steaks on the top of both of my hands. When I pointed it out to her she took her nail file and tried to sand the paint splash off of the back of my dry as hell hands! I quickly told her no and she stopped and when I showed her on my other hand that polish had seeped on to the side of my nail she gets her cuticle nippers and starts snipping always at the polish that is left on my skin. I could not believe you eyes. I mean really, am I getting PUNKED?? Where is Ashton? Come on cutie, you've got to be hiding out somewhere or I've just landed in the Twilight Zone for manicures gone wrong. So I go to pay and the manger/owner? charges me $32. For a second I thought about saying nothing but that's not who I am, so I paid my bill and gave each gal a $5 tip because hey, it's two days before Christmas and I would have definitely felt guilty. So in the end I walked out of the salon with two red splotches on my right hand and also polish on the skin around my thumb and a streak that is dull where she painted the color on unevenly and it's not even shiny or as saturated as the rest of the nail. Oh I had asked for them to use the same red color on both my hands and tootsies and once I got home in better light I could see my toes were candy apple red and my fingertips did not match at all. Needless to say, I will not be returning! ***Check out my pics!*** read more

Very pleasant and relaxing. Great service and they did an amazing job on my nails. I am new to the little elm area and I decided to go here. I wasn't disappointed. read more

Extremely clean and very nice staff. I love my nails, didn't have to say much, Tammy ( believe that's her name, sorry!!!) knew exactly what I wanted. Very nice people and atmosphere overall, this is definitely my go to place from now on. read more

Just came in for an acrylic over lay on my natural nails with no colour and was told it would be $40 - which is $10 dollars off of a normal set with extensions and colour. I asked why so expensive and the Manager (who said he owned the place) said because that was their prices. Without knowing that I had come a month before and asked about the service and prices which was actually $35. When I said but normally that should be cheaper and my other place even offers the service for less than $40, and he proceeded to tell me to go to them then and tried to take away the leaflet I had including all the prices of services - I told him I'd keep it for reference. I stepped outside to look at the leaflet and it clearly was cheaper. So I went back in to complain and was greeted by another lady (the lady who served me before) and she told me the service is $35 and started to set me settled down into a seat. Then the manager proceeds to talk rudely about me to another employee in their cultural language which I understood. When I told him I'd appreciate if he didn't speak badly about me to others and if he had something to say, to say it in English and to me. He then proceeded to kick me out because he got caught out. Worst thing is, most of the workers are lovely, but he completely left a bad impression with his unprofessionalism. Never going back - at least not until they get rid of the manager. I suggest all of you do the same! Save yourself the hassle! read more

I have to be honest, I am extremely disappointed in the service that I received last Friday. My friend and I stopped in to get a manicure and pedicure. Although the pedicure itself was OK within an hour of leaving the salon my nail polish on both my hands and feet was starting to smudge off. I was done probably 30 minutes before we left the salon. In no way should the nail polish smudge off within that time frame. It should have been dry. When I contacted the salon on Monday, they refused to discount any of the services. Since I had to re-do my nails/feet when I got home, I was hoping that the merchant would be willing to work with me. Will never be back to this nail salon again. read more

Awesome staff! Great next gen color choices. Had a mani pedi. Feet, gel which did not turn out the color I asked for. Only negative thing about the experience. Otherwise 5 stars! Ken was hilarious, nice, attentive, & efficient! The complimentary margaritas were a major treat(: I will definitely come back to empress nails! read more

Best nail spa in Little Elm! Great customer service as soon as you walk through the door!!

I just left and I am NOT impressed. The girl who did my nails didn't ask if I wanted large areas of white on my pink and white fill. To say its a white with a bit of pink would be accurate. They nails aren't even gelled on top. they are rough and misshaped. The last time the nails were perfect. This time, I feel like I need to go and get a new set. YUCK, YUCK read more

First time there and it was a good experience. Everyone was friendly and place is clean. Holly did my pedi. She is so sweet and gives a gentle great pedi. I highly recommend you give empress nail salon a try! read more

Holly is the absolute best! I love the service I receive at Empress! I would definitely recommend this place for a positive experience!

Love this nail shop. I have been coming here since they opened and have never had a bad experience. Helen and Lee know how to really pamper you. read more

This is my favorite place to get my nails done and Jon is the best!! They also serve yummy margaritas.

I've been going here for several years & would not go anywhere else. They r very accommodating to me as it has been hard for me to get in on a regular basis due to spine surgeries over the last 2 years. Kimy is the best nail tech I've ever had & I've been getting my nails done almost 30 years now. Even when I can't get in till about 4 weeks for my fill my nails still look great. I still get compliments & haven't broken a one. Please Kimy never leave where I don't know where u r. lol. But, also, everyone there is always polite & offer a beverage for ur comfort. Which on hot days is very welcome. Thank u Empress Nails. Alisha read more

This was the worst nail experience I've ever had. I went in for a nail trim and have my cuticles removed. The tech that trimmed my nails was very unfriendly and left them all uneven and crooked. The tech that trimmed my cuticles needs to go back to school. It looks like a kindergartner tried to do them. Needless to say it was a waste of money and I had to go home and do it myself. Don't be fooled by a fancy looking salon. They need to worry more about the quality of their text work than what the salon looks like. read more

I LOVE this place! The prices are the best and always good quality! I wish that there wasn't so much construction from The Colony to here so I could start going again. read more

Super clean. Great foot and leg massages. Wonderful, professional staff. The spa pedicure tubs have disposable liners so you never have to worry about how well the tub was cleaned or who used the tub before you. The salon is new and well appointed. Empress is the only place I'll go for pedicures. read more

I went on a Friday for a manicure. The experience was bad. The service was rushed and the nail "tech" was rude. I won't return.

Do not waste your time or your money at this place Crystal does a rush job on my feet and nails I had to go to the nail shop down the street to correct the problem and on top of that she has a smart mouth!!!! read more

I had a great experience today. A girl named Sara did my gel nails and eyebrow wax, and Mary did my pedicure. They were very nice and did a great job. They use the "Gelish" brand polish for the gel nails, and it's the best one in my opinion because it lasts a long time. I thought the prices were good - $30 for manicure and gel polish, $35 for a pedicure (with sugar scrub, parifin and massage) and $10 for the eyebrow wax. read more

Ana did a fantastic job on my nails! Awesome job on the shape & length! I am very picky when it comes to my nails & for my first-time visit I was impressed. read more

worst service ever made an appointment and i was waiting for about 50 minuets and one of the nail artist came up to me and asked me to wait longer, so I ended up not getting my nails done at all, do not come here read more

Terrible experience...all starting with a nail technician spraying the psoriasis on my shins with hydrogen peroxide. She had not asked what condition I had, did not get my permission, did not warn me or inform me of what she was spraying on my skin. She just walked up to me and started spraying the patchy areas on my skin saying "I'll dry it out". How completely inappropriate, I'm absolutely appalled that anyone would just go spraying someone's skin with chemicals that way. The rest of my experience was sub par, I didn't feel like I was being listened to and left feeling disappointed in my nails. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING, they're lucky I payed them. read more

AWFUL experience. I actually got up and left bc my tech was so rude! All I did was ask her to round out my nails and she made a huge scene about it. Then wouldn't drop it. Just kept talking crap to me! I will NEVER go back. read more

I was really excited to get my nails done by professionals for the first time but the guy that did my nails ruined my cuticles. It sucks its right before prom and my nails look horrible. I'm disappointed that I paid 50 dollars to have to redo them at home. read more

This was my first tine getting my nails done and I didn't have a good experience. Im not rich and I had been saving up to get my nails done for a long time. I got a pink and white full set and there are air bubbles underneath my nails. I don't know what it is but there is stuff underneath my nails also. The acrylics on my nails feel like they're about to come off and it's not even been two days. They were also talking about me in another language, they knew they messed up so they gave me a discount. Well my good $40 I had saved up for a year now is gone. NEVER COMING BACK, EVER!!! read more

Oh my goodness this place is amazing. I don't write reviews, but my experience here was so great I had to. Everyone here is so friendly and care about you. This is my second time here, the first time I got a shellac manicure which was great and this time I got a pedicure. Lisa was the one who did my pedicure and she was fantastic. She paid attention to little details and made sure my feet were well rubbed and as soft as a baby's bottom. I also get my eyebrows done here. They do exactly what I want and I am very happy with how they turn out when I leave. Any other nail place should not exist because this one is the only one I've found to be worth five stars. Very pleased and will DEFINITELY be returning. read more

yea it's new and nice yet VERY BAD SERVICE!! i'd rather go to a small salon like HD nails down the street behind chevron ... can't do any designs and my nails lifted after one week and i paid 45 dollars for it ... i will not be coming back read more
