Note: One Star Rating for the woeful condition of the furnishings not the staff…read more The Good: The staff at Embellish Westlake Hills are fantastic. I've been coming here for about four years and the technical work is consistently excellent. My favorite tech is both talented and a pleasure to talk to. The Bad: The furniture is in "gross" condition. The pedicure chairs have large stains and dried wax on the footrests, but the tech stools are the worst--the vinyl is ripped to shreds. My tech actually has to cover the stool with a towel so the torn material doesn't scrape my skin. The Verdict: For a place that brands itself as "Austin's Original Upscale Nail Salon," the lack of maintenance is disappointing. This is a premium-priced salon, yet the equipment is falling apart. The owners need to invest in repairs to match the high quality of their staff's work.

The color sample wasn't accurate to the gel options they have. Not the worst experience, but I do regret trying this location today. I don't expect this gel to last as the manicurist touched the prepped nail surfaces with the oils on his fingers and didn't create a dry/isolated environment before applying the gel. Wouldn't recommend unless you're in a rush and aren't a detail oriented or aesthetically driven person. Vibes were a little dated, but not unusual for a small salon - no complaints there.

They confirmed what I wanted and reviewed the nail design price before starting, which I really appreciated. The massage chairs were a relaxing bonus. I booked Sammy for my manicure and pedicure, and she did an amazing and very detailed job. I also liked that there was no pressure to make conversation.

This place is truly a hidden gem when it comes to nail salons. I had an outstanding pedicure, and my nail technician, Moon, did an absolutely amazing job. She was attentive, thorough, and made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. The salon is very clean, welcoming, and professional. My only complaint was that it was extremely hot inside when I first arrived. However, when I mentioned that the temperature was uncomfortable, the staff immediately lowered the air conditioning. That level of responsiveness speaks volumes about their customer service. Overall, great customer service, a spotless salon, and excellent work. I will definitely be back and highly recommend giving them a try!

I went to the Barton Creek Mall to make an exchange and decided to get my nails done for an…read moreupcoming wedding. I wanted to try the 'glazed donut' trend, which should have been simple enough... a light pink base with white chrome on top. First of all, there was no nail care involved or included with this $50 (base) dip manicure. When I noticed the nail tech was going straight in with a drill on my hot mess cuticles (I'm a new mom and hadn't gotten my nails done in months) and wasn't going to soak or trim them, I inquired about it and she said she would do my cuticles after she finished my dip nails. I've gotten at least 100 manicures and I've never witnessed this practice, although she acted like it was routine. After she applied, cut and filed the tips, I noticed some were super misshapen and asked her to correct them. She said she would do it after she applied the powder. Not sure why she wouldn't just do it before and I ultimately had to remind her once the powder was on. Some still aren't a good shape; I'll be trying to correct them at home. The photo I showed her had a solid base color on the nails. She just used the light pink she already had on the counter, telling me it was perfect. It was not perfect. It was way too light, you can completely see the white spots on my natural nail underneath and the tips are white, not pink. They basically look like super grown out nails. What might bother me the most, though, is that, since she didn't trim my nail underneath, and because she applied what might as well be clear powder on top of the dip tips, you can see the ends of my square naturals nail through my almond shaped extensions. It does not look good. When it came time for the chrome, she pulled a bag out, opened two seemingly random containers and asked ME which one she should use. How should I know? One was clearly green, so I told, "her probably not that one," and showed her the reference picture again. I asked her if the chrome would cover the imperfections of my natural nails and she said no lol. She chose pink chrome and you can tell it's pink. It's not the more subtle look I showed her or was going for. Also, you have to get up and wash your own hands here during the manicure. And the cuticle care never happened. I guess she thought the drill did enough. No lotion at the end, no hand massage. I was so excited about this self-care experience, my first manicure after having a baby, but every time I look down at my hands I like them less. I really, really wish the base was solid. It's so frustrating. Especially since I paid like $64 + tip for these (the weird pink chrome cost extra). Needless to say, I won't be returning to this nail salon.
