This place is below average. I am not a hard person to please and have never broken nail with hard gel, before I came here. The first time I came it took them 40 minutes into my manicure to have someone help me with a pedicure, mind you there were 4 employees sitting on chairs on their phone, bizarre. When i asked for the 3rd time when my pedicure would start, the lady says "Oh you want them at the same time?" No... I want to be here for hours and waste my time. Lol. The guy who did my pedicure barely cut my cuticles and gave me a sloppy pedicure. The lady who did my 'hard gel' manicure gave me the most thin layer of gel that one of my nails broke a day later. Mind you, I haven't had a nail break in YEARS. I decided to come back a 2nd time. I asked for white on my toes. I had to ask for it to be redone 3 different times because the lady who painted it made it look like a blob of paint with two very obvious layers. It took 3 different employees to do a clean job and it is still not great. They kept telling me 'gel looks better' although I did not want or ask for gel, just regular paint. You should be able to paint white nails, that's your job. I had the lady put a fake nail on my broken nail, the way she filed it, it's now crooked and it points inward. I definitely will not be returning. read more

Diana, the owner, and her team are EXCELLENT and serve their clients with a smile and professionalism every time.

Modern Nail - pedicure thrones - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was honestly really really excited about trying this place because I was yet to find a good nail salon in the belterra neighborhood. I got builder gel on my nails and regular gel on my toes. The builder gel fully doesn't cover my nails. The nails themselves are super uneven. But the worst part of it was my pedicure. The tech was jamming the tools into the sides of my toenails. And making me bleed it hurt and I expressed it multiple times yet he kept going. My big toe nails are way smaller than I wanted because I said I didn't want them cut and he still did it. My toe nail is now infected and I am going to have to pay way more than I did for this mani and pedi than I wanted to. read more

Walked in without an appointment on a weekday, early afternoon and it was pretty busy! I thought, oh no I'm going to have to wait a while, but nope! They got right to me. I only got a pedi this time because it was my first time here. Ivy did a very good job on my toes and feet. She also gives a real leg massage, not a pretend one! It's a bit pricier than where I have been going the last several years at $48 for just one level over the most basic (they have MANY levels) but it was a good experience. The chairs are in great condition, they appear new. They have a good massage system in them and are comfortable. I will try a mani and a pedi next time and hopefully it will be so good that the extra cost will be a non issue :) read more

Had a hard time getting seen as a walk-in, so I decided to make an appointment to see what all the buzz is about. They were awesome. Busy as heck because people dont show up to work anymore, but they were really fantastic. Nice to know there's a good place close by. read more

OH MY GOD. Do yourself a favor and do NOT come here. I really don't know how these ladies are licensed or if they even are for that matter. If I didn't have any shame I would have gotten up and left mid pedi. She basically filled my whole foot and did a total hack job on my cuticles. The massage was about 10 seconds on each leg of pressing. I actually asked for her to give me the tool so I could clean under my nails since she couldn't seem to do it completely. DON'T. COME. HERE. read more

New owners are fantastic. Temperature taking, sanitizing, mask wearing and plastic barriers between you and an esthetician. Not to mention a nice pedicure massage and O. M. G. Nail art! Excellent craft and clean edges on mani and pedi. Shared WiFi, great massage chairs and even offered a drink. I had SNS removed and not a single burn. I hope they keep this going! PLEASE read more

Came in with my daughter as walk-ins. Both of us got SNS Dip and the teen got a pedi. She text me from the pedi chair as I was getting my nails done just to say she never wanted to go anywhere else for a pedicure again because it was the best she'd had yet. Kristen and Rose did our nails and both did a phenomenal job!! There was no wait, the space was peaceful and the massages were very relaxing. We live in South Austin and will make the short trip out here from now on for nails! read more

I love Modern Nails on HWY 290. The spa chairs have several options for massage, my wait time has consistently been under 30 minutes, the color options are numerous in matching sns dip to toe polish, and the parking is easy. My husband likes to join me for the pedicures and he enjoys this location too. Plus, they do eyebrows! I have been very happy with all our services. Great group of folks here read more

I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE ANGRY WITH A NAIL SALON IN MY LIFE. I came in for a mani/pedi and waited until the water in the pedicure chair was cold for 45 minutes for someone to finally get to me, only to be told that they couldn't give me a manicure because the acrylic on my nails would take too long to take off and it was already after 7:00. WHY THE HELL COULDN'T YOU HAVE MY NAILS SOAKING IN ACETONE WHILE I WANTED FOR 45 FREAKING MINUTES?!!?!!?!! read more

I am new to the area and was looking for a nail salon. I read multiple reviews and they had the best reviews. I had to find out why they were recommended. The customer service was amazing! family owned and run was my reason for going. They did a awesome job on my pedicure. I will be going here from now on! read more

If I could put ZERO STARS I would. DO NOT GO HERE. The whole place is unsanitary and totally unprofessional. There was clipped fingernail on the "fresh towel " that I put my hand on for my manicure and while the lady was buffing my heel ( without any gloves) she collected all of the dead skin in her palm and actually had me look away from the other lady doing my nails and wanted me to TOUCH THE PILE OF DEAD SKIN. When my manicure was finally started it was terrible. The lines were wobbly and my cuticles were never addressed. However, when she finally finished there was nails polish under my nails and on my skin but instead of using nails polish remover she CLIPPED AWAY AT MY HEALTH SKIN and actually caused me physical pay. I walked out of there in real tears super embarrassed and completely frustrated. The first thing I did when I got home was soothe my raw skin and re-paint my nails my self. read more

I rarely get my nails done and every place I have been to I feel shaves the top of my nail down so much when I get acrylic as well they shave the acrylic down so much it looks like a need a fill when I walk out. Modern Nails was fabulous... Brian was so gentle with my nails and he did a beautiful rose design. I won't go anywhere else!!! Modern Nails is the place to go! read more

I'm sorry but I have to say this, today I was in this business with my daughter and I'm very angry. A person told me her name Lee made my daughter's eyebrow and did it terrible very badly I'm very angry because they have no idea how my daughter felt. They apologised I know it's not everyone's fault but I have to say So that it doesn't happen to someone else they cut a lot of eyebrow from one eye they tried to fix it with paint but it looks terrible because there is missing an eyebrow. They also promised that they will fix her eyebrow until she is happy in about a month or two but for now my daughter is crying and very sad I hope the manager can talk with me tomorrow My name is Reyna Bautista read more

Hwy W 290 needs a nice nail shop SO BAD. The good: -they have a hilariously awesome kids spa chair that my daughter would dig -the staff was friendly -we came in on the last day they offered 20% off for the grand opening The bad: -I ended up just getting a regular manicure/pedicure with polish because I found their gel prices to be extremely high! -the hand/arm massage was non-existant -I had grey gel on my nails before this baby pink polish manicure and they didn't take all the grey off the sides. She made it sound like the polish would cover but she didn't even try. I wasn't pleased with the end product with grey showing on the sides of most nails, but I didn't have any more time to stay due to my babysitter. The ugly: -If I can help it, I wont be back. read more

This place continues to be my jam! I bring in my art ideas and they make it happen. Most recent is a fall theme with foxes and acorns.

Pretty happy with this place only once my gel manicure didn't last two days after I went to get my nails done it started shipping but it only happened once they're very good here I'm happy with them. read more

Everyone we came in contact with at Modern was super professional. Our appointment times were honored (more or less ;), the service providers were great communicators and they did an excellent job. Modern will be our go-to from now on! read more

New favorite nail place. Affordable and the best quality nails I've had in awhile. I'm comfortable expressing what I want and if I don't like something it is fixed no problem or questions asked. I chipped a couple nails a day or two after and they were fixed at no charge. I will be back for the third time as I have tried others and been unsatisfied read more

This place just opened up near where I live and it's great! I was looking to get SNS nails for my graduation and they did a fantastic job! I'm really picky and dislike when I go places and they make the powder too thick or uneven. But as you can see from the picture they're perfect and they look amazing and are super smooth. This is definitely the only place I will be coming to from now on to get my nails done. 10/10 would recommend. Everybody is also super friendly read more

Modern Nails is the best. It is clean, you never wait, and my nails last longer than they ever have anywhere else I have gone.

Always impressed with the quality and time taken to get my gel manicure and pedicure done. Today I tried the peppermint twist pedicure and it did not disappoint! You can tell Kim enjoys her job and cares about the quality of her work. I found a design I liked on Pinterest and she helped pick out the colors to match and a color that would match my toes. LOVE the way they turned out! Cindy did my pedicure and took great care in making sure my toes looked just right and did an amazing job on the massage. Kelly and TJ have a great nail salon. I have been coming since they opened about a year ago and have always been satisfied. All of the technicians here are great at their job! Would totally recommend Modern Nails to anyone looking for a clean, serene and great quality nail salon with lots of choices for gel colors and styles along with excellent prices! read more

Love this place. I stop in on my way home in the evening and have no wait. My feet always feel very soft and smooth after they are done. The massage is great and they will customize the pedicure to fit your preference. Consistently one of the best pedicures in the area. Polish selection is great and they have my favorite colors. read more

I've seen Tiffany every 2 weeks for a year now. She is so meticulous and cares so much about the job that she does. I went to about 12 nail salons in S. Austin before I found her, and I'm so glad I did! She does a fantastic job, but is also a really lovely person! read more

I walked in for a pedi and SNS on my hands. I got back to a pedicure chair immediately and my nail tech started on my toes. I asked her to trim my nails straight across as I have dealt with ingrown toe nails in the past. Instead she digs around on the sides of my toes and cuts my nails in a very short round shape. She then took a phone call and stopped working on me, her phone was passed back and forth amongst the staff on speaker phone and then back to her. Then suddenly all the staff got up and just left the store, including the tech that was doing my nails... I was still in the chair with half of my nails trimmed and the one girl that stayed behind wrapped my hands to soak off the SNS and then resumed my pedicure. At least 4 customers walked in and the store had no other employees to serve them so my lonesome nail tech had to stop my pedicure several times to answer their questions and run interference. 30 mins later, 1 staff member returns. The girl that was doing my pedicure stopped and the new girl took over. I opted out of getting my SNS redone on my hands and just asked them to stop and take off what had been on originally. On top of that the paint job on my toes was so rushed that she got polish all over my cuticles with no effort to clean it up. Terrible experience, terrible and unprofessional customer service. I will not be returning. read more

I've been using a Kristin for years and I follow her everywhere. Now she has her own salon. I suffer from horrible ingrown toenails and she's an expert at cutting them out. Most pedicurists just ignore them. Don't hesitate to try out her full service salon. read more

Extremely rude staff. LAUGHABLE considering they don't give you half the skill or service that others in Austin provide for the same low price. The woman who did my nails me jerked me around harshly. Constantly critiqued my finger placement. Basically refused to touch my hands when they started sweating because she made me so nervous. I gave them a second shot, same experience. I'm not stingy by any means with my tipping and figured that MIGHT change my second experience. Nope. I've gotten my nails done elsewhere with ZERO issues with the way I hold my hands (which is normal, I just have longer fingers so if you're jerking them around I'm going to try not to let them hit anything). And each time I went for dip powder she did the bare minimum with shaping them and smoothing them out on top. The whole experience felt unhealthy. Hope they learn from this and change their ways. read more

I'm am thoroughly IMPRESSED with the neatness and quality of the shellac done! I ONLY had my nails done when I would go back to California because I couldn't find anyone in Austin that did a good/decent job. I don't want to give out the manicurists' name because I don't want that person to become busy! Did an awesome job on cleaning up my nails and the application. It was $30 - thats the going price for Austin and Cali. They have a huge selection of shellac. Since they're new, you know that the polishes aren't old. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. My manicurist receives 10+ Stars!! read more

Modern Nail - Shellac manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

This has been my go-to place since they opened so it pains me to write this. The work is normally good, but the service has really gotten bad. The last two times I walked in, they said it would be a few minutes and put me in a chair where I would wait up to 30 minutes. Okay, I get that can happen with walk ins so today I called around 12 and asked about an appointment. She said they were busy until at least 3 so could I come in at 4:00. A little late for what I wanted but I said sure and rearranged my day. I got there at 3:55 and saw that all three people were busy, but they immediatly put me in a chair with water. It seems like they think once they get you in the chair you will stay no matter how long you wait. I saw the person was starting to paint someone's toenails so I knew they would not be on time. She finished up and then went somewhere in the back and that was the last I saw her. I decided that 15 minutes late would be the amount of time I would allow for them to get started. I may be picky but when I make an appointment, I expect it to be honored especially when I changed up my day and made it around their schedule. At 4:15 with no one in site, I walked out since I wasn't sure how long they were going to have me sit there. I hate having to find a new place but what I hate more is a disregard for my time when I have made an appointment and show up on time for it. I won't go back. read more
