    I made a collage of inspiration for my burlesque Valentine's nails. Thanks for your patience Michelle. Love my nails!

    I am so impressed! Michelle is an absolute artist! Being a hairstylist I love fabulous over the top nails, as well as being in a clean professional and fun atmosphere when I get them. Michelle's Nails takes it to a whole new level she has almost EVERY color in essie, OPI and other major lines of Polish, gel, and shelac. She hand sculpts her acrylics and, AND she is VERY particular about how much buffing she does to your nails. Keeping them at their healthiest condition. So often I have had to "Take a break" from acrylics because my nail beds were too thin due to over drilling. She has glitter, bling, bows, and a ton of other 3D items to bedazzel your nail. Whatever glue she uses, those bits of bling are not coming off, I can attest!!! On top of all this she has he own little sweet room in the building labeled "Tara's Salon" on Anderson. She keeps it and her tools clean. I did see part of her manicure set in the sterilization oven (not that gross barbicide fluid often used, that people never seem to change.) Patient with my many color demands, good conversation, and a quick and detailed worker, I will TOTALLY be going back to see Michelle for fills and polish changes!

    Second time seeing Michele and I couldn't be happier.

    I have a terrible confession to make, I'm a nail art addict. My nails have never had a hard time growing, but working as both a barista and an esthetician, they weren't quite holding up like they used to. Between chemicals and water weakening my nails, getting stray wax stuck to my nails(eventually pulling chunks of polish off of tediously applied designs) and normal breakage associated with natural nails, I had to have a better option. I opted for acrylics, and was quickly talked into a pink and white set at the local cheap nail shop. I loved the durability, but after three applications between two nearby shops, I was tired of wasting my money on carelessly applied solar nails. I found Michele through Instagram of all places(@itsasetup), and you can bet your ass I'm never going anywhere else in Austin ever again. Yesterday was the second time I had the pleasure of having my nails designed by Michele. I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of her work. Her shaping is immaculate, polish application is meticulous (she didn't even have to do any cleanup on my most recent set), color selection is unbeatable (600+) and she's real as fuck. I went four weeks between fills and had zero visible lifting. Today I worked a very busy six hour shift in coffee land and didn't lose a single stone. Yes, she's going to cost a little more than your usual mani-pedi place, but she's not unreasonable at all on her pricing. You get what you pay for and here, you get what you ask for. Square, round, stiletto, almond, ballet, coffin, squaletto, lipstick, Miami slant, she'll do it all and perfectly. Pearls, stones, studs, crystals, charms, caviar, chains, wraps, Minx, yeah, she's got em. She carries so many colors, so many brands (OPI, butter, Zoya, Essie, Marc Jacobs and much, much more). If you don't want to spend the money, feel free to go waste it elsewhere, but if you work hard for your money and want what you deserve for your nails, come see Michele. Tell her I sent you, but don't take my appointment time.

    Don't look any further. Michele is the best nail therapist in Austin/central Texas. Yes she's A1/ with designs and glam. But the overall health of the nails and the quality of her products speak for itself. Try her, you won't be disappointed and you won't wanna go anywhere else.

    Michele does amazing designs and quality nail care. The pedicure feels amazing! Best I've ever had! Pricing is reasonable and the location is very easy to find.

    I saw her yelp and instagram (@itsasetup) and knew I wanted to entrust her with some stylish new acrylics.

    had a really great experience w adore nail lounge! went in for a builder gel refill & really happy…read morewith the shape and apex of my nails. i didn't get the name of the nail tech but she was a bit older, and she did absolutely amazing with the design. i love how close the shade match is (compared to my natural nail) for the nude base color she chose, since that was something that was important to me. love the stars she free handed and the gems she arranged. total was $100 excluding tip which i think is great value. also want to mention that we came in at 6:30, and the nail tech stayed past their closing time to finish the design and do it really meticulously if half stars are possible, i might give 4.5 because i also booked a lash lift and when i got there, they told me their lash tech is on vacation for a month. i was just visiting the area so idk if this is common or something, but i'm used to the service always being available if it's able to be booked online/confirmed via text following an online booking (which both services were), so was a little bit disappointed by that.

    I returned to the salon today for a regular mani/pedi. My techs name was Ken. Ken wasn't too…read morefriendly, I wasn't asked if I wanted water etc.. My service felt rushed. He was a little rough to the touch as times with my pedi. The pulling and moving my feet & toes quickly and/ or forcing them down from time to time was uncomfortable. I didn't say anything but looked at him. The manicure wasn't done completely. He massaged my forearm but missed my hands. I asked if he was going to massage my hands, he looked at me and said yes, but no massage to my hand was performed. I looked around at other customers and their hands were massaged a little after their forearm. Their tech had them wash their hands afterwards. Ken had me wash my hands right after my forearm. He polished my nails and said thank you. He placed a fan in front of my hands but didn't say how long I needed to stay in front of the fan. Normally im told 2 mins etc...I touched my nails after 3 mins and turned off the fan. When I checked out I did let the lady know it wasn't a good experience for me this time. She inquired, I told her Ken didn't ask me if I wanted any water etc..as I watch other customer receive sodas & waters. The lady replied, oh really he normally does. I replied he didn't. I said I didn't appreciate all the pulling / tugging as well as him placing the fan in front of me and not saying how long I needed to dry my nails. The receptionist excuse for Ken's behavior was he doesn't speak English which I thought was bananas. I still have a small tip, but asked that he not be assigned to me again. She agreed in doing so. I thought about my experience on my way home. A mani/ pedi is not cheap. If I can't enjoy it and relax I'd rather not return nor refer any more friends to their shop. I'm disappointed. R. Chambers

    I was unsure about this place considering it's a little bit hidden, and I've never heard of it…read morebefore. The reviews were great although many of them were from 6 to 13 years ago, but I decided to try them out anyway. I walked in and was immediately set up at a pedicure station, and Lily took great care of me. The salon is decorated beautifully and I enjoyed the ambiance. I got a gel pedicure for $40 which is amazing compared to other places nowadays. Aside from the amazing pricing and great vibes, I would come back for Lily's customer service alone! I'm very pleased with today's service and I would definitely recommended this place to anyone who's looking for a friendly and affordable salon.

    It had been years since I had a cut I liked, and the last time I did was by a celebrity stylist in…read moreBend, Oregon... well I can't fly out every 3 months for a haircut... Enter Micky Vo. My cousin introduced me to Micky (the owner of Expo Salon) and the first time he cut my curly hair, I was totally smitten. His way of working with me and my hair, and watching how I do it, how I work it myself, is really cool. He actually cares and learns how to cut it better next time, or how to cut it now for the results I want later. He explains what he's doing with every cut and motion, and how it's going to behave based on what he's doing... and my goodness, he is just always right. He knows what he's doing. So, yeah... I totally had the hair I loved... Until I moved to another state again for a year and couldn't find a stylist that compared. I was so happy I was only gone a year and my life brought me back to central Texas, right back to Micky's salon. Anyway, I recently moved out of town... again... and am about an hour's drive away now, so the other day before the COVID-19 quarantine started, I randomly settled for a stylist I'd never met just for a trim... I ended up with a hairstyle I hated and needed to get it "fixed" by another cut. It had finally grown out from a short 'do, but due to the lady's non understanding of what I wanted, now it's short again and still needs work... Needless to say, I cannot wait until COVID-19 is stable enough for me to get on Micky's list again... there is no other like him.
