CC and the staff were great! Yes, what are the chances I have the same name as the lady doing my nails!?? Crazy. Definitely going back. The only complaint I have is that the prices are a little high. I just moved from Atlanta where the basic pedicure was $25, here it's $30. No biggie because the service made up for it! read more

I've have visited this location over the last 6 months. Every time I visit I get a different person but they have all done an excellent job. There is rarely a wait and the place is always neat and clean. Seriously people....neat and squeaky clean!!! I love it. read more

Mehhh, I give it a 4 out of 5 stars. It's a very clean shop. Friendly atmosphere. I loved my pedi but as far as my full set, a little messy but still decent. Not very impressed for the first time here but I do see myself coming back though. read more

Fabulous pedicure today. Service by Angel. Expert, friendly. Wonderful. She told stories and jokes to distract me during the ticklish parts. She gave me s flat surface on which to work. She was honest and real. Also super talented. read more

So I am very new to Austin and I had been asking around for nail salons and I had gotten recommended this place and I would say I'm a very particular girl when it comes to my nails so trying to find a new salon was a big thing for me. Pulling up to envy nails it's right next to a Starbucks which is a huge plus for me and a nice HEB so I love the location already. Stepped in and was greeted immediately, asked to sign in, and was sat with in a few minutes with a tech. He asked a few questions and helped with picking a color and an accent design and got right to work. I can't express enough how great that was and how fast he just knew what I wanted and how I wanted it. His work was quick, precise, and just what I wanted. The pricing was also fair. Especially because he took off my old set, put a new set on and gave me two accent designs. I have since then been back for a second set with the same tech which he also did a flawless job on, have had a pedicure done, which was also in my opinion very relaxing, and I have gotten my eyebrows waxed. This salon truly is my new happy place when I need anything done. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SALON! Great location, beautiful and clean inside, very professional and kind staff, great services. I hope this review helps! read more

First time and wLill be back. Clean, polite and I think my nails look great.

I've gotten a shellac mani and spa pedicure here, and both services were excellent. Usually you can just walk right in and sit down.

Less than average service. The guy who did my pedicure was very careless and barely filed them. I had to redo at home. My manicure was average too. read more

I love this place. I am a very picky person; especially when it comes to my nails and feet and this place always makes me feel like I am get more than I paid for. Becky is absolutely amazing and is always very entertaining! Tha is my nail guy.... Not only does he do great work and keeps my nails on point he is very sweet and patient with me even when I don't know what I want to do with my nails! Everyone here are always helpful and kind! FYI they are reasonably priced too! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! read more

I got my nails done here this last Friday so it's been exactly a week. I wasn't going to leave a review at all I was just not gonna come back here and here is why... my first impression when I walked in was oh it's nice clean the ladies there were friendly so I was excited for I had seen some of their work on instagram. But i absolutely regret coming here I payed to get my old acrylics off which I thought they would soak them for (that's why I'm paying for that service) which they didn't my tech yanked them off!! Super painful! And she cut me with the electric file! Which also was very painful. Anyways all I got done was powder nails with very few diamonds on two finger nails which was a grand total of $60 so not worth it and this morning one of my nails broke ! Very poor quality work. Truly sad I was really exited about this place but I literally threw $60 straight to the trash because I'm going to get them redone only a week after read more

This is my first time here so it's going to be long winded. With that being said, I definitely like the location. It's right by the HEB and is only 5 minutes from my apartment. When I walked in I was a little confused at first because I immediately saw spa chairs and people working on customers. I was pointed in the right direction as their check in/out desk is in the middle of the salon because they have 2 entrances on opposite ends. Both ends had pedicure spa chairs, plenty of them, and in the center was the desk, waiting area, and manicure stations. It was clean and had pleasant decor. Layout wise I think it could use some adjusting. It's nice to have a lot of spa chairs, but the manicure area was limited which brings me to why I took away a star. I was told to sign in and I did. There was only one other person in front of me, and she was getting a pedicure. I was asked what I needed, and for the first time ever I was going to try a shellac manicure. I typically get a set because when my nails get to the length I want, 1 or more always break and I have to wait for them to grow back out. I was told 10 minutes. Cool. So I sat and waited. The lady before me gets up and is escorted to her chair. Another woman comes in, she speaks with a tech and needs for one of her nails to be fixed. She sits next to me, and I continue to wait. At least 20 minutes have gone by at this point. I stayed patient because again, their manicure area is limited compared to what they have for pedicures. Then finally a lady comes to grab me except she's trying to escort me to get a pedicure. I tell her that I wanted a manicure. She politely apologizes and was very nice about it, but it was about to be almost 45 minutes since I got in (I got there a few minutes before 6, and they close at 7). When I go back to sit down, I notice that the lady who needed to get a nail fixed had been taken. I get that what she needed may not take long, but if I sign in and arrive before you, it should be first come first serve, or at least the tech could have asked me if I was ok with her going before me. My tech finally comes over. I was looking down at my phone and she slowly walked up to me waiting for me to notice her instead of just saying something. Broken English isn't hard for me, I grew up with a Thai grandmother and I've learned that sometimes things come off harsh or rude when dealing with other Asian cultures who speak broken English. But since I was already a little annoyed, the tech asking me what I wanted just rubbed me wrong. I felt like, I wrote down what I wanted when I "checked in" which from what I could see not too many people actually looked at the list. I saw that she did, so I didn't understand why she had asked. I told her I wanted the shellac manicure. She asked me what color. I didn't know or took the time to look because most people that I saw getting gel/shellac picked when they were seated so I asked if I could do that while I was seated. I could sense a little annoyance, but I was just as irritated. I didn't tell her that it was my first time either. So I sat down with the choices, I pick out my color and wait. After waiting just to be seen, I could say I sat there for what felt like another 15 minutes but it wasn't. Maybe 5-6. She came back to ask what color, she grabbed it, and we got started. I did have a snag on one of my nails that I was hoping she could save when she asked me about cutting them. She said she could so I told her no cutting just to file. I should have asked her to make them even in length, but that was on me. The file job was all right, but she never asked me a shape. Most of my nails are naturally square so she did a rounded square shape. When she was done, she never asked if I liked it or if I wanted her to do more. Cuticle work was excellent, and as I watched her, she kept checking everything she did which I liked. Even if she moved on if she noticed something she would go back until it was right. She never fixed the snagged nail, but with the layers that had to be done for the shellac, I don't think I'll have to worry too much about that nail breaking I'll just have to be cautious. She always directed me when I needed to stick my hand under the light. She wasn't chatty at all which is ok, but it's a bonus when someone engages with you. As expected she did speak with other techs in her native language. The paint job was perfect. She regularly checked it and made sure there was no polish on my cuticles or anything. When my right hand was done, she then asked me if I liked it. Which I genuinely did, and I can't lie I had this goofy grin on my face. She did a short massage which she wasn't consistent with. Really I got a massage on my left hand and just lotion on my right so I do wish that she would have done the same to both. Overall I would come back. Like other reviewers state, the wait times aren't accurate so I might call ahead next time. I tipped well because she really did do a great job. read more

Envy Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

3 things that make or break a pedicure for me: Good message, dead skin cells removed, and a good paint job. I got a great paint job but there was no message. The guy literally sat the stones on the bottom of my feet for a sec, then picked them up and placed them on another part of my feet and never messaged. The "cheese grater" as I call it was never used and he barely went over them with the rough pad. I walked out with the same rough feet I walked in with. 1 out of 3 for me means I won't be back. Disappointed! read more

My first time visiting but definitely not my last... I have been searching all over Austin for a nail salon that can deliver exactly what I asked for. I have not been able to find any place until I came into Envy Nails today for the first time. I LOVE Tha and his talent. He took my nails to the next level. I'm very impressed. Thank you so much. Just ask for Tha. read more

Sophia is excellent! She has done my solars nails and shellac several times and I am very picky. She does a great job!.

I was a little nervous after reading some of the less than stellar reviews on Yelp but since Envy Nails & Spa is so close to my house, I decided to given them a try. I'm so glad I did. I went in for a fill and a spa pedicure. Carla did my nails and she did an absolutely fantastic job. I was so impressed with how careful she was to get them just right: they look gorgeous. My pedicure was good too, nothing super fancy but definitely worth the price I paid. This salon is clean, open, bright, and affordable! Looks like I've finally found my go-to nail place in Austin. read more

This place is great. Clean, quiet, really good customer service. I've been here twice now for a manicure and pedicure and I'm really pleased. They have a large selection of colors and a ton of shellac colors to choose from. The prices are pretty good too. Deluxe pedicure and manicure for $50, not bad. read more

Will not be going back and do not recommend this place. The manicurist was obviously in a rush and was very rough. She cut my cuticles until I bled, even though I told her several times that she was hurting me and cutting too much, she just kept ignoring me. When I complained to the manager (owner?), her response was: "next time let them know in advance if you do not want your cuticles to be trimmed"... really? since when trimmed cuticles equals pain and bleeding? The person that did my pedicure did not smile a single time, and she was also obviously in a rush. At some point she rinsed one of her tools by submerging it in my feet tub...yuck! read more

I never had a bad experience at this place everybody is polite and do a good job on my nails especially Leo!!!!!! read more

I love this place....they are nice and friendly and they do every kind of nail you can think of Todd and San are the best for doing your nails....oh and they serve wine read more

I have been here several times because the location is very convenient but no more. The guy with "heaven" and "hell" tattooed on his forearms was so incredibly rude to the woman he was working on (not me, she sat next to me), that I cannot go back. She was trying to engage him in conversation and he put his headphones on. Then when she asked for an almond shape nail, does so without saying anything then at the end wants to charge her $5 extra for this shape. I have had the same fake nail shape and not charged any extra. Oh, did I mention she was a young black girl? She was friendly, and sweet and very respectful and did not deserve this awful, snarky service. Rude, rude, rude. read more

Today was my last visit to Envy ... Avoid Ky ... After the 4th or 5th time she stabbed one of my toes with a sharp-pointed instrument - and I jumped and said "ouch!" every time - I took the sharp item out of her hand and set it aside ... she never apologized ... I'm done with them ... should be less than 1 Star!!!! read more

nail tech cut my skin with nail file and repeated on multiple toes. staff is rude, non-communicative, and the salon is dirty. closest salon to my house but, it's a terrible place to go. read more

This was my second time there and it was very disappointing. It was clear that the tech was not ready when I got there, so was in a bad mood. She was very brusque and cut my skin as she was clipping my nails on second hand. I told her to stop and that if she wasn't in the mood, we could find someone else. This created a flutter in the back with other techs? after which, another tech appeared same MO. I got up and told them that I preferred to leave it for today, that if they were not in the mood, I was leaving. Furthermore, I was not there asking them for a favor, I was there for a service, for which I would be more than happy to pay. I silenced every one. I doubt it will change. I think they are not only rude, but sexist and racist. I will never go there again. read more

I've been coming to envy over a year now. The employees are friendly and offer great customer service. The salon is always clean and offers a variety of regular nail polishes and gel nail polishes. My gel manicure usually last for three weeks!!! read more

Such a great place! Great environment & great customer service. Go in and ask for Leo he's great with gel nails, you can also look him up on Instagram @leonaildesign read more

I have been coming to Envy Nails for a few years now. I specifically see San and Tha only. I drove 40 min just to come here even after moving further South. However, after today, I will no longer be coming here. I had an appt scheduled 2 weeks in advance. 3 minutes before my scheduled appointment I received a call from Leo (SAN's husband) that San had to take their son to the ER. Of course that's terrible and I was understanding that San could not do my nails. My expectation was that they would want to immediately accommodate in some way, since I drove 40 min and was in the parking lot already. He let me know that tha was all booked and I said, "okay well can you do them" and he said, "maybe 11:30, hold on" and then began discussing (in Vietnamese) with a co-worker. Then, whenever he began explaining to me the situation about his son again (yelling at this point), I told him that I understand that, but that I also have to get things done for my week/schedule. He said he would do them at 11:30. So I walked in, already being there, and was going to make sure he felt comfortable doing them and that I could get a pedicure while I wait. He told me he will not be doing my nails and doesn't want me to wait & then asked if I had ever been there before????? I have Tha's phone number in my phone. I was going there the entire time his wife was pregnant and I was greeted by name when I would arrive. Every single person, including Tha (who did my nails for about 6 months straight every two weeks), acted as though they had no clue who I was! Such a shame that people can act like this. I see that loyal customers and customer service isn't at the top of the priority list! read more

Leo is amazing! He never fails to do exactly what I want. He has the best prices and is always so nice and talkative. I don't plan on ever going anywhere else. read more

I drive almost 30 minutes to get my nails done by Leo every 2 weeks. He always does such an amazing job and never lets me down. I always get complimented on my nails! Thank you Leo read more

I don't recommend. I came to get a pedicure and it was sub-par. First off I asked 3 times for the water to be warmer. I had goosebumps from such cold water and my feet were mottled. The gentle laughed when I asked for warmer water and said I should have dressed warmer....secondly I was not offered water or anything to drink.....2 ppl came in after me and were given drinks...I paid $32 for a pedicure with cold water and was treated poorly. I'd definitely NOT go back. read more

This salon is beautiful, clean and so relaxing. San is very professional and sweet. She did a great job on french acrylics and eyebrow waxing. Luis gave me the best pedicare ever. Very nice spa chairs also. I will be back read more

I went there for the first time today and I was really impressed. Both the nail tech and the pedicurist were super friendly and funny. The atmosphere was very welcoming and because there were so many techs there I didn't have to wait long before I was seen. My nails and pedicure turned out so much better than I expected. This will definitely be my new nail home. read more

Just had a very bad experience here - first, I had to wait 45 mins for my scheduled appt. They actually started the 2 women whose appt was 30 mins after mine before they started my nails. They did not address this or apologize. Then they started the wrong service, and when I corrected them, they had me pack up my stuff and move to a different area. While they were moving me, they dropped the polish I had chosen and the bottle broke, so I had to pick new polish. They also did not give me the nail technician I requested. They rushed through my appt and then started vacuuming next to me because they were closing up (keep in mind that they started my appt 45 mins late). The lady doing my nails dug into one of my nails so hard that it started bleeding. They made me pay up front (including tip). It was just an overall really bad experience - and I was only having a basic polish done! No acknowledgement, apology or discount. I will not be going back. read more

First time there. I had a pedicure and eyebrow wax. Nothing out of the normal. Whoever did my toes hurt me a little, but I didn't think anything of it. Now my toe is infected with white pus and throbbing. This makes me very sad. So sad. :( Two stars for nice employees though. read more

I never write reviews but I feel the need to since I was treated so poorly during my visit today. Went in for a full set aside from getting a pedicure for my birthday and ended up walking out in tears and partially dry toenails. I didn't get his name but this man who was going to do my full set was extremely rude to me. I very nicely asked for help to get a dip powder color that would match my toenails as closely as possible because I wanted to look good for my birthday and he was no help at all. He was very agitated and short with me and was visibly frustrated pulling his hair and sighing and looking around the room as I rummaged through the different colors trying to find something on my own. I had asked for his help since I had noticed his frustration and it was making me really anxious. He seemed to be very in a rush and was upset because I was looking for a color. After a few minutes of him still acting this way as I looked through the colors I couldn't take it anymore and nicely asked him why he was so frustrated with me when I hadn't done anything to him and he tried arguing with me instead of apologizing for coming off that way and that just solidified my need to leave. He never apologized to me and instead kept dismissing me and none of the other workers stepped in to apologize or say anything so I got up and paid for my pedicure and left. What should've been a positive experience for my birthday ended up being completely ruined by this man. I won't be returning. Do yourself a favor and don't come here to get your nails done which is a shame because I'd been here before and loved my nails but the people working today ruined me ever coming back. I understand having a bad day but since no one apologized to me I'm left with a bad a taste in my mouth. read more

This place really pissed me off. I am from Florida and was vising Austin for fun and decided to get a mani/pedi. I looked over reviews and they were all great so I decided to go. When I get there, I got ignored for a few good minute or so. Nobody said anything to me. Then I tell them I wanted a pedi/mani and they take me straight to the chair and start doing the pedicure. I told the girl I wanted a blue color (I SHOWED it to her) and she completely ignored me and was wanting to do a french. I was so annoyed and told her AGAIN the color I wanted. Then I finally go get my manicure done and a different lady comes and forces my hands on her table. She starts scrapping off the gel manicure (currently on my nails) with HER FINGER NAILS. I was so disgusted. How can anyone do that? Is that even sanitary? So I mentioned to her I didn't like that and she goes "is ok, is ok" and I was like, No, please don't do that. And she continued. I let it go because I did not want to make a scene. But, holy jesus! Worst place in the world. NEVER AGAIN. read more

this place is absolutely wonderful! all of the technicians are extremely talented. leo is my go-to. he is always so reliable with his work and it always turns out amazing. leo is personable and sweet and nice as well, and always makes me feel welcome! thank you leo! read more

Envy Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was so excited to see a salon opening up close to my home and one that could compete with Great Nails over at Mueller. I love that they have an huge selection of polish and they have a beautiful, clean salon. Staff is somewhat friendly. I've only been twice to this salon and I've been disappointed twice with my basic manicure. The color is left on with streaks and laid on thick. I had polish left on the skin all around the nail and one fingernail was cut extremely short. It bled slightly. They have been quick both times and are not exceptionally busy when I've been. I would be okay with them taking longer if it produced quality work. Disappointed overall. read more

I hate to leave a bad review, but I just have to share my experience. I had been looking for a new nail shop since moving back to Austin. I heard about Envy, and decided to give them a chance. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and location. I had been seeing Leo and decided he's be my "nail-guy". Well this Monday, I went in because I had I noticed a crack in my nail, mind you, I just got a fill a week ago and he had to fix this same nail due to this same crack. So, Monday, I called before I went in, and he was cool at first. He opted to fix my nail with no problems, or so at least I thought. I am currently wearing false nails with encapsulated glitter and so Leo decided that we should soak off the nail, and just a complete new one. The problem came when he did the new nail, he didn't put the glitter on. I asked him why, and he said because we were polishing my nails, he didn't put the glitter on. I was a little upset but more so confused because I would still like for all of nails to look the same whether they were being polished in the end or not. I told him that I wanted glitter. He then told me that they "ran out" of glitter. I got upset and asked hhim why didn't he tell me this in the first place. He gets up out of his chair, talking in his native language and proceeds to walk in the back. About 5 minutes later, he comes back with what? You guessed it, the glitter! Once he re did the nail again, he tells me that he does not want to polish my nails and that I should find somebody else. I thought he was being rude and his piss poor attitude didn't make things better. I never cursed, raised my voice, or treated him rudely. Once he was done applying my nail, he immediately went to help another customer. I went to another station to get someone else to polish my nails and then I left. I was very surprised in Leo's behavior and will not return to get his services. There are way to many nail salons in Austin to settle for poor customer service. read more

Love love love this place! They are always so accommodating with both me and my daughter! She loves going to see San and Angel! We are always greeted and offered wine or water!! They are very quick but do a great job! The atmosphere and music is so relaxing and I'm usually not ready to leave. It's my mommy getaway! I would definitely recommend! read more

I have horrible fungus on my nails. It's so bad on one nail that the top half is black and the perimeter of the black is turning yellow. So nasty, filthy, disgusting, non-sanitized, and non licensed people. I'm blessed not to have a staph infection. STAY AWAY!!!! read more
