I visited H & H Nail Salon on February 28th as a walk-in and have been sitting on this review for a little while to make sure I reflected fairly on the experience and whether there was anything I may have misunderstood. After giving it some thought, I do believe I clearly communicated what I wanted, and I ultimately feel that I may have been overcharged. To start with the positives, I called ahead to see if they had availability for a walk-in. They told me it would be about 30 minutes, but I was welcome to come early and sit in one of the massage chairs while I waited. I appreciated that and did exactly that. It was relaxing to sit in the chair while they finished with other clients. Once they were ready, my pedicure began. I originally selected a lower-tier service, but the technician explained the Detox Pedicure very well and suggested upgrading. I agreed, and overall the pedicure experience itself was pleasant. While the pedicure was being done, another technician started on my hands with the manicure, but when another walk-in client arrived, that technician left to start a pedicure for the new client. The technician finishing my pedicure then move to her station and continued with my manicure and applied the clear dip. It was a seamless transition and excellent team work. I will say that I did like the quality of her work on my manicure and the dip. However, I did notice something with my pedicure. I had asked for clear polish on my toenails, and while it was drying it looked like some white dust had settled on the polish. I was trying to figure out how to mention it, but when the technician later applied oil to my toenails, the white appearance seemed to disappear and the nails looked glossy, so I assumed it had just needed to be brushed off. When I took a shower later that day my nails looked like I originally saw with a white dusty and matte look to it with some spot shiny. When I went to the register, I was surprised that the total was $130 before tip. I had calculated the $55 Detox Pedicure plus the $45 dip manicure, which I thought would be around $100. I assumed I may have miscalculated and didn't question it at the time, so I paid and left a 20% tip ($26) for a total of $156. When I got to my car and reviewed the receipt, I noticed there was an additional $10 charge listed for a "Cuticle Trim", along with a $20 "Additional Charge". $30 extra on to the bill. At most salons I've been to, the price of a dip manicure already includes the basic manicure prep such as cuticle trimming and nail shaping before the dip is applied. I get my nails done fairly regularly, and this is the first time I've ever been charged a separate and unclear $10 cuticle trim and $20 additional charge fee on top of the dip manicure price. The menu did not clearly indicate this additional charge, and it was never communicated to me beforehand. While I did enjoy the service quality of the manicure and the overall pedicure experience, I was not happy with the final finish of my toenails and was especially disappointed by the lack of transparency in pricing. This experience left me feeling unsettled. Clear communication about pricing, especially additional fees, is important so clients can make informed decisions before services are performed. Unfortunately, I don't feel that happened here. For that I don't plan on returning. read more

I got a pedi & gel manicure (walk in). I had acrylics on and the nail tech I had suggested just getting a fill (maybe to save time?). I was adamant on just a simple gel manicure. Pedi was great no complaints but manicure on the fence about. My nail tech was really polite just maybe I should've just done a fill. Manicure was mediocre unfortunately. read more

Very affordable and good attention to detail! It was 35 for a simple gel manicure. I am a bad nail biter and my nail tech gave special attention to making sure my nails and cuticles were as clean as possible. Will have to come back to try something more involved! I'm not someone who regularly gets their nails done but I feel this was a good bang for your buck. read more

Stumbled across this place while looking for another salon. I came in and was greeted right away. I was promptly put in a chair for my deluxe pedicure. I thought the place was clean. They do offer complimentary beverages. I was not offered one but a guest after me was so that's how I'm aware they have them. Monday-wed they do 20% off services for "happy hour". A deluxe pedicure was $40. If in the area again would come back. read more

This review is coming from someone who never gets her nails done. My nails are SO bad, that I bite them down to the cuticle. No, I'm not over-exaggerating, I literally bite until I literally can't anymore. Sooo basically - I have NO nails what-so-ever. It's a bad habit. But I yearn to have pretty nails so I thought I would treat myself to some acrylics. Last time I went to a nail salon (another one, not this one), they were rude and pushy/pully with my arms and hands. I didn't like that and I didn't want it to happen again. So I was nervous walking in to this salon. But THANKFULLY, to my pleasure, these ladies were a lot nicer and not rough at all. I walked in on a Sunday afternoon, they had like 2 other people in there. I was able to seen right away. As someone who is super new to this whole nail world, I walked in with a faint idea of what I wanted but didn't understand the whole sns, dip powder, gel, etc... stuff. I didn't want to be scammed into over-buying something I didn't need because I was clueless, but thankfully these guys didn't do that. I was going to stay simple with just acrylics with regular polish, but they told me since my nails were non-existent, it might be better to do something a little thicker like dip powder and they would put on extra to help the nail look more natural since they were basically working with only a nail bed and no nail. So I agreed, chose a simple color, white, and my nail tech went right to work. This is not one of those frilly nail salons that have chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and serve you alcohol while you get serviced. As long as they're affordable and do good work, that's honestly all I care about. And this place definitely hits that nail on the head! My nail tech made small talk with me and working diligently and efficiently to get my nails done. She was not pushy or pully with my hands which I really appreciated. She put on the extra powder just like she said she would and they came out looking amazing. Roughly took like 45 min for a full set of acrylics with dip powder. They had a 10% off coupon on yelp if you check in which I took advantage of, you just mention it as you check out. Not gonna lie - as a nail newbie, I was nervous walking in. But this place made me feel comfortable and their work is really nice. So I definitely see myself going back! read more

H&H may not have a lot of frills, but it's a gem. I've been twice since moving to the area, and it's now become my go-to. Let me give you 7 reasons why. 1. The folks who work here are so kind. And they engage in just enough small talk without being too chatty, which is cool with me. 2. The work is quality. I've gotten dip nails (with and without tips) and a pedicure and loved how they came out. After 3-4 weeks, my nails were still looking great. 3. The prices are reasonable. 4. Prompt service. I've called ahead same day and never had to wait once I've arrived. They are also efficient and will have multiple technicians helping one person when possible. 5. It's quiet in a relaxing way. I've been on Saturday afternoons and the place has not been super crowded. 6. TVs with HGTV for the ladies. They know we love it. 7. Complementary beverage. Water and wine is not uncommon to see at nail salons, but when I saw margarita on the menu, I had to try it. It looked like orange juice, but you know what? It hit the spot! Give H&H a try, you won't regret it. read more

Very fast service Mani Pedi was done so quick and so well. Friendly workers and awesome job!! Definitely going back soon!!

This place is good, not great. Cons: They reuse tools on your nails without cleaning them from the prior person The filing of my nails is super uneven There are bubbles in my uneven gel polish Pros: It's cheap - gel manicure was $35 They are open on Sunday's Overall, I'd you're in a pinch h&h is fine read more

I haven't found a local nail salon since moving to Cedar Park/further north west austin. I took a gamble and just searched for one near me to get my nails done quickly before Christmas time. I walked into H&H Nail salon, the greeted me quickly and they were able to take me for a mani and pedi immediately! I love it when they can do both at the same time(if it's not too busy). My dip mail color wasn't my favorite but that's not their fault i went out of my comfort zone and i have gotten compliments as well! Y'all it's been 2 and half weeks and my nails haven't chipped, cracked, or even lifted when washing my hair. I'm so impressed!!! Would definitely recommend ! read more

I came in the 1st time close to my birthday to have birthday nails. Absolutely LOVED them! Shale was perfect color was exactly what I wanted and I also added a couple decals to my ring fingers. Went back again earlier in the morning a few weeks later to have them done - explained what I wanted (black with hot pink ombré and I wanted them longer - so basically was needing a complete new set) - I didn't get the longer nails, nor did I get the hot pink I wanted. I got bumpy, uneven, sharp edges at the ends of every single one of my nails. Not to mention, the drill got hot enough that I pulled my hand away... Thoroughly enjoined my 1st visit, 2nd visit made me decide to not come back. Picture is of the 1st set, I don't have a pic of the 2nd time... I was so frustrated with it read more

I am so DISAPPOINTED! Initially I read the reviews and decided to try this place out. I made an appointment on Yelp and was initially super happy with the way my nails turned out! I thought I had found the perfect place. Maybe it still is a great place because the folks here are super nice, patient and attentive to details. Plus my tech was gentle with my nails! Maybe my experience was just bad luck or maybe not. I literally got my nails done (SNS mani and regular pedi) 3 days ago for a Vegas birthday trip. I noticed that by day two, a few of the SNS nails were cracked so I went back and they were fixed. I thought, no big deal and was super appreciative but now I am out on vacation and 4 of my nails are broken and cracked. I'm absolutely horrified and disappointed by the fact I have to find a nail salon on my trip to completely redo my SNS set. This wasn't in my plans or budget because I had already spent with tip $77. I just can't walk around to events this week with nails this way. Maybe I'll try my luck again here another time but I don't know if I can come back. read more

I'm pretty bummed out with the result of my nails. I would always love coming here but I came here Sunday to get an SNS done and I feel like they rushed it honestly. They didn't apply enough coats because it's not even 2 days later and 3 of my natural nails have chipped. The photo is an example of one of my fingers on my left hand and on the right hand I have 2 nails that have also chipped. They only dipped my nails once in the powder, I'm pretty sure they're supposed to do it atleast 2 or 3 times for a thicker coat. I spent $45 for this..... really feel like I got suckered. I don't think I'll be returning especially after paying that much only for it to chip within 2 days. Spent $85 for mani and pedi AND tipped $15 for this?! Ridiculous. Didn't even last 5 days. read more

Found this place through Yelp! I was closing for a place close to my apartment and work and this was the one. I did the appointment over here and I had a quick response to go in the afternoon. When I go there I chose the color I wanted, I was promptly seated and taken care of... had a coke because it's summer and it's so hot!!! The service was 100% professional and quick, very clean and efficient, thank so much! I'm definitely going back and redeem my offer :) read more

H & H Nail Salon - First time here - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been going here for over 20 years ( over 3 different owners). The quality of the work now is unpredictable. Kevin and Henry are long gone. They don't honor their clients who are thoughtful enough to make an appointment in advance. I went today, for an appointment at 1 pm for a new full set. I was greeted and told to wait "a few minutes". The few minutes turned into over 30 minutes and Ben was nowhere near finished with the client he was working on when I came in. I had to leave at 1:30 in order to have time to make it to another appointment I had at 2 pm. There were only 3 techs working and they obviously took a walk in mani/pedi client at my expense- both time and money wise. It was really hot inside ( can they not afford AC?) and I left hot, bothered, tired, and with untended nails. I have a dinner party tomorrow and am leaving on vacation in a few days and will now have to figure out a plan B for my nail care. I won't be back here. Their loss- as I always kept my appointment times, tipped well and often paid with cash. Buyer beware!!!! read more

I have been going to the same nail salon in OC for 7+ years and finally decided to go somewhere local because I was desperate to get my nails done (it had been 4 weeks). I am overly particular with my nails, and Rachel absolutely exceeded my expectations, especially with a new salon I've never been too. Sally did a wonderful job on my pedi as well. I am so excited to finally be able to go somewhere local since moving from Costa Mesa. read more

I have reviewed before but I wanted to review again. Sometimes I go other places, but I always end up back here. This place is not as fancy as some, but you can usually get seen quickly without an appointment. They do a good job for a reasonable price. Everyone is friendly and the customers seem to be repeats who have been coming there for a while. I love that they take the time to actually get any polish that is on your skin off and they will file and buff even gel nails to look nice. Not the case for many of the "fancy" places that charge much more. My only issue is that they need to clean the nail dust off of the drills and tables between every person. read more

H & H Nail Salon - Cute gel nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I made my appointment after seeing great reviews on Yelp. I also made my appointment through Yelp, they answered pretty quickly. I went in on a Friday around 3 PM and it wasn't incredibly busy. There were a few people in the shop and it looks pretty basic inside but the employees are amazing! They greeted me and helped me choose a color, I asked for stars ahead of time and they had them ready for me. I asked for stars and some little accents around them and she did exactly what I wanted! Ended up being $60 for an acrylic fill with shellac and stars on each nail, they honored the 10% off. I want to come back for my music festival nails! read more

I've come here 3 times now. Just for a color change. I like the gel polish. They have a lot of colors to choose from. Takes about an hour. Usually I get 3 layers with the light box in between coats. The gel hardens instantly, which is fantastic. The cost is competitive, they even offer a "happy hour" so great savings during those times. The parking lot can be challenging, as it is a busy shopping center. There is more parking around the corner. read more

I made an appointment through the Yelp app and Kevin responded almost immediately upon my request. I made my appointment for 9:30 on a Saturday. It was 18 degrees this morning and I wasn't sure if I could get out of bed and face the cold. But I'm so glad I did! The salon is cute, clean and neat. The pedi chairs are relaxing and have a ton of functions. There are TV's if you don't feel like staring at your phone. And if drinks are a must for you, they have those too. I was greeted by Kevin and Hannah. I chose my color and sat in my chair. Hannah asked if I wanted a drink and out of the options she gave me I opted for a mimosa. Yes, at 9:30 in the morning. Hannah was super sweet and I truly enjoyed my conversation with her. She was very gentle - I could barely feel her clipping away at my toes. The hot stone pedicure took about an hour and it was the relaxation that I've needed. Halfway through, Kevin refilled my mimosa and I was on cloud 9. On to the manicure - it was super quick and clean. Hannah did the best shellac job around. Personally, I'm not a fan of the thick amount of polish - I like it to be relatively thin and even and she did just that without me having to say anything. I'm so pleased. I've been to many salons around Austin and the lot of them have all the thrills without the talent. If you're looking for a place for superb looking nails and you want to feel relaxed come here. I will definitely be a regular from here on out. Update 2/22/18 Henry has been doing this ombré look on my nails and it's amazing! He is amazing and quick! Love it! read more
