I've been going to Nails by Judy and every time I go, it's a great experience. The whole staff is friendly, professional, and they actually make you feel welcome not rushed like some places. I usually get the deluxe foot package along with a manicure, and they always take their time and do it right. The quality is consistent, everything is clean, and you can tell they care about their work. It's just a solid spot. Good people, good service, and I always leave feeling taken care of. Definitely recommend. read more

Ask for improvements and got half poor service from color to hospitality team shape. I'll be back to see if they'll correct it for real

I had a terrible experience with my pedicure at this nail salon. The nail technician could not communicate with me in English and I did not see a Texas Cosmetology license displayed for them. I only saw one license on the wall, but every nail tech should have their own cosmetology and individual license. My toenails were cut too short and the polish was not smooth. There was still some polish left on the skin around my toes instead of on the nails. They were very sloppy with their work and also rude.. I will never visit this establishment again. They deserve zero stars. Avoid this place. read more

The nail tech Ann was great with my feet masssage, she was a bit quiet but only because of the language barrier. She had no problem repeating herself tho very sweet lady! read more

I stopped for the first time cause it was close to my place and I was tired and didn't want to wait a long time at my regular shop. Hell no, the tech that did my nails was very rude because I had to keep telling her shorter nails after I showed her how long I wanted them which was barely over my fingertip and oval. So once she started placing acrylic on my nails, she used a dollop of acrylic and barely was able to cover the entire nail so I asked her to add a little bit more because you could still see the white parts on the corners and she told me don't worry about it. I'll fix it at the end. I ended up telling her to put another layer on after she filed it down because you could still see the white on the nail and I used acrylic powder that was brown. She was seemingly irritated and tried to hurry and do my nails, and I wanted to hurry and get out of there too. When I went to pay, she tried to charge me an extra five dollars because I asked her to cover the full nail with acrylic. They always have space because they are trash. I will gladly take the longer wait than using them again..TRASH read more

The man at the front desk tried to shame me because I left a 18% tip. I could come back and not tip at all, but that would be unfair to his workers. Instead I won't come back at all. - read more

They use used equipment on you. I also had to dispute my purchase with them because i didnt tip and i put on tip $0.00 while writing my total so they know it was no tip. Wake up next day to see they added a $10.00 tip. They dont even deserve that, you have to tell them to warm up the water because if not they are just going to fill the foot tub with freezing cold water . Good thing i dont stay there or i would return to their store to tell them about theirself read more

This nail salon is under new management with new staff now, so I decided to stop in, as it is very close to my apartment. I was a walk-in and was seen as soon as I came in. The staff was super friendly and my technician did a perfect job on my pedicure! Love the massage chairs too. I'm really happy with my service and I'll definitely be returning. read more

Worst nails I've ever gotten in my entire life. I had an hour long lunch break so I figured I'd get my gel dip french mani redone...it was a BADDDD decision to come here. I should have known by the less than three star review, but I took a risk. The staff was nice, but Kim had clearly never done this type of manicure before. To put it lightly, she jacked my nails up!!!! And I mean they were ridiculously bad. None of the french tips were even or dipped correctly, the tops of my nails looked huge and bubbly, the nails literally pointed up towards the sky...And the worst part was it took TWO HOURS! It was so embarrassing I had to get them redone two days later by my normal salon. Upon taking the nails off done by Kim, there was a brown fungus on my nails due to Kim not gluing the nail down correctly. I have never had this happen before. Overall, don't waste your time or money. And especially don't get a gel dip manicure here - you will definitely regret it. When she finished, she said "they didn't turn out how I wanted, I'll give you a $15 discount". I ended up paying the $30 which I should NOT have done and left. Now all I can do is warn the rest of the Yelp community. read more

Bad business, they don't use fresh or new tools on clients when doing pedicures. They don't have a good variety of colors or products. They are very impatient... my nail lady walked away from me today twice once to have a snack after cutting me and causing me to bleed and didn't apologize . Then the second time she went to do another customers pedicure who just walked in because I didnt want dark pink and she was frustrated and rude. She then came back and said "I don't know what you want so I'm not doing it" when I simply ask for a baby or blush pink smh... I got a full set and asked for almond shape I got stiletto shape, and had to leave with just acrylic powder and was still charged $50 for unfinished work. I ended up going to secret escape nail lounge much better service and quality.. I will never support this business again they should be ashamed... now I see why there's only 2 people or none everyday. read more

I would give zero stars if I could! I had a manicure in January and shortly after developed a serious infection in my nail bed. I have since lost most of my nail and the doctor says I will likely loose the whole nail. I tried to discuss this with the owner but she tried to say it didn't happen here. I warn anyone who is thinking about getting their nails done there to make sure they are using new/sterilized equipment! read more

See all

I've come here several times but never stay. I'm always asked to wait or come back because they only have two people working. Today i came in for a polish change. This was the most rushed job ever. Didn't ask if i wanted to cut down or file, which I'm used to at other nail shops. Didn't even use a base coat. And the lady with with the short bob was arguing with me about cutting/filing my nails. I tired to give this place a chance but this was the last straw. read more

This nail salon is a little hole in the wall between my friends house and mine so I was hoping for the best. The bad: $20 for pedicure but $40 for shellac! ZERO foot Massage! They add $20 for shellac! Ladies ignore you and dont speak one work of English. I had to ask 3 times if she could turn on the water for my pedicure. NO FOOT Massage. Watered down polish- poor selection. Attitude from everyone except Tiffany- they made me feel like it was a burden to service us. The Good: Tiffany did a beautiful job on my full set. I didnt to the shellac so the $27 price tag wasn't bad and she speaks good English. The lady who did my toes I had to direct her every step of the way because she kept shaping differently than I asked for and it was ok for $20 git my heels good but no massage at all. $47+tip was ok for the service. If you must go here, get Tiffany. Everybody else literally sucks! read more

The guy is a good a masseur for pedicures, he has a strong hand, but it's true he's no good at painting nails. I had to redo them myself at home. I've been twice to this place and I can see why the first two reviews were so positive. Compared to the cold, assembly/sweatshop feeling of some nail salons in higher income areas, this is a simple neighborhood place where they know their clients by name. They'll all be watching the film and commenting, and I have to say it was a welcomed change--5 stars on that. The people working here seem happier and more relaxed. The quality of the work was inferior though. Their selection of nail polish is small and old (the manicurist thinned it out in front of me!). I was also surprised with the price for Solar nails because I could see they were not experienced with them (the nail person told me it had been 'a long time' since anyone had asked for them). And their selection on powders for nail tips was minimal. When she was done I asked her to file them oval, and she left them triangular... great for Halloween. And they were too thick and not well finished under the tip. I fixed them myself as best I could. I won't be going back. read more

I don't usually leave reviews but I tried to give this place a chance because it's close to my house. The people are sweet. My problem was with my nails. After years of not having acrylic I tried something new. My nails started to lift after the first day. I went back to get that one fixed. After one week they were all lifting. I spent a little over $30 and was extremely disappointed. read more

After seeing how my nails were three days later, the paint chipping and everything else I didn't like, I decided to go to another nail shop called Tipsy that is my usual. I won't be back here, at least for nails waste of $30. read more

I've been here twice in hopes of the place redeeming itself. The pedicure I got done was mediocre he only gave me a massage of less than 30 seconds. However the nail art he did on my toes was not too bad.I got an acrylic full set done twice and each time the nails lifted and came off before two weeks.while the nail technician was using the drill he burned my fingers at least three times. I will never be coming back here again. read more

Had to wait but I didn't have an appointment on a Friday evening so that's understandable. The ladies in the salon were friendly and took their time. The color options were a bit sparse which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. I'll return for sure $42 for Mani/Pedi sea salt scrub. read more

WORST NAIL SALON EVER!!! I just got an acrylic fill for $23, just for them to start lifting before a week....A WEEK!! During the time there the tech burned my fingers with the drill and when she broke one of my nails..that wasn't broken before I got there, she still charged me!! I am never going there again!! read more

The guy sucks , Idk why men think they can do nails last time I have a male do my nails horrible .

Y'all should not come here save your money and go somewhere better. Plus you'll be waiting for a lifetime to get them done. Ya it's cheaper than most places but KIM sucks so bad. I have better nail technicians went to this place because it's right by my job. Haha worst decision I asked for some coffin nails bitch they were ugly as hell. I told her to take them off and she got so offended. You know what's offensive your eyebrows boo. Now I walking around with a crooked full set . But honestly this girl kim can't do nails for shit. She made my acrylic so bubbly inside of it and they have a lot of old powder mixed in with some specks of glitter when you didn't even ask for that. Bottom line they rush people, no more than two employees working and they don't update there powders and keep it clean. Seriously how is this place in business. Ya of you're reading this go home before you get mad at these people. read more

Great place for a manicure, and very reasonably priced. My manicurist took her time and made sure they looked literally perfect. She would constantly shape and clip back my nails and cuticles as she went to make them all even and pretty. She also took her time putting the polish on to make sure she covered the whole nail as opposed to just rushing through to get it done. Incredibly good job. read more

I regret coming here, I was desperate to get my nails done and stopped by. First let me start by saying the pedicure chair did not look clean when I sat down, my tech lady had her stuff all around the chair, but I figured she just got done cleaning (who knows) 2nd I realized she did not take her tools out of the DISINFECT bags, instead she had a basket with other tools in them. That is so unsanitary, I got the "super deluxe" I would like to say it super sucked, my tech lady was so old she did not do a great job at anything, her massage was weak and I think she has short term memories because I told her how to do her job. She kept nipping me and pulling my skin when she was cutting my cuticles, I had to watch her every move because I did not understand why she kept tugging at my cuticles. Then when it came to the polishing, she did not put BASE COAT on first, she went straight to polishing. I told her did you put base coat yet. Her reply was "OH", you do not understand I wanted to smack that idiot tech. The way she polish she was so irritating, it was like as if she never held a brush before, not to mention the same day my polish came off the same day on one of my toes. I was hesitating on getting my GEL MANICURE because I am very picky on the tech. but my friend said just do it, holly crap I regret getting it done so bad. When she massaged my arms, it was only my hands that she massaged and she just smoothed it with lotion...it was such a joke. She did a very bad job on my manicure she kept trying to get me to get the same color as my toes, no I want white. I understand white is hard to polish with shellac but you are the tech get over it. I had bumps when she was done. My nails looked better coming in then coming out. I was so mad leaving this dump place of a nail salon. I should have said something right then and there but did not want to make a big scene. My polish was over lapping my cuticles, I wanted to jump over the table and choke that tech. She was so careless, so after the salon I went shopping and I noticed my toes were bleeding!! They were so red and I did not realize it when I was at the salon so I figured that's why my toes were aching so bad. I paid $60.00 for a piece of shit job plus tip that she clearly did not deserve. I am still mad till this day and I got my nails done last week. read more
