I always tell myself I will never come here again but it's close to the house. I reminded myself why I hate this place and I didn't even get my nails done. Why do they always accept and SEAT people if they are not going to start the service for another 45 minutes because they are clearly not staffed enough. I get making money but atleast be honest. You said 15 minutes and I stupidly kept waiting until I watched 2 episodes of some cake show on your tv while seated. Atleast I got a freaking chair massage while waiting as you kept telling me I'm next...even those you also seated 2 other woman before me and still haven't gotten to them. It's not professional or ethical to accept and not offer any services for the purpose of hoarding. read more

I am super happy with the quality of work and incredible customer service I received from this salon. Kim did my nails and Lina did my brows. Both were very friendly and (obviously) very good at their craft. I will definitely return. I've tried 7 places (yes, I've counted) since moving to Austin and have not found one of this caliber. read more

One of the worst nail experience's I've ever had. I've never had to explain so much how I wanted my nails but no the nail tech kept telling me things about my hands that I've never heard before. They kept moving me around from nail tech to nail tech. Back and forth from doing my toe nails and my finger nails. The tech that was doing my toe nails cut them way to short when I specifically kept telling her the length I wanted and when she asked me if I was sure I kept saying yes but maybe 5 minutes after she cut them even shorter. She also cut 3 of my toes trying to get my "in growns" but most of them didn't even have ingrown nails and I can already tell my big toe is going to get infected. At one point I just said whatever they were doing to my nails was fine because I just wanted to pay and get out of there. Never going here again I wouldn't recommend read more

I made and apt for my daughter and I for 2:30, waited almost an hour, not my idea of a pleasant experience. I would rather they tell me they could not do 2:30 or not take appointments. I should have known better when she didn't even ask my name. if you expect people to be on time, don't bother. read more

Amazing job, they were quick and took great care of my boyfriend and I. Highly recommend! read more

My nails bubbled within 30 minutes of leaving the salon, 4 chipped the next day. Nail technician made phone calls, rushed the curing time for shellac nails, played on her phone, and ignored a ruined nail during her final inspection before payment. I brought the ruined nail to her attention, and she was visibly frustrated and rushed to repair it. read more

One of the best pedis ive gotten.i come here regularly and they always make me feel very relaxed and cared about. I show up alot right beforw they close and they never make me feel rushed . Love this place! read more

Van is awesome. I am SO particular about my nails. We recently moved to Texas and this business is THE BEST!

Me and my husband try to come to this nail salon once a month and we always get a friendly service. They offer us something to drink and make us feel welcome. My gel manicure lasts about 10 days depending on how much I leave my nails alone.m. There are so many nail salons that are just mehhh that is hard to find one that is worth coming back to but in general I think they do a great job and my husbands feet look better now read more

Great service. Lina did my nails and eyebrows and did good work. She shaped my acrylic nails great (almond) and did not make them super thick. Only downfall was the wait since I had an appointment for 2:30 and wasn't seen until 3:10. Recommend coming in at off hours. Also they have wifi but make sure and ask for the password. Based on the customer service and quality work I will be coming back for a pedicure when it's not so busy read more

This review is for Pink & White acrylics and pedicure Pink & White: I have been going to Pearl nails for a few months now. I went to several nail salons trying to find someone who does a good pink & white. I don't like a lot of white and I don't like them to feel like giant paddles on my fingers. Most nail technicians fight me on this and either tell me to let them do their thing because they know what I want or that what I want won't look good. Nonsense, I know what I think looks good. Don't argue with my preferences thank you. At Pearl nails, they don't argue with you. They listen to what you want and then do it. Van is the very best at pink & white. She does what you want and does it quickly yet meticulously. She has consistently done a great job on my nails over a dozen times. I get a lot of compliments on them and often people are surprised when I say my nails are fake. Also, Van let me know when she is going on vacation so that I can schedule my nails around when she will be gone. Very thoughtful! Of course they do the regular "You want your eyebrows waxed?" while doing your nails so you're like, "No... but thanks for telling me my eyebrows looks like crap!" They charge $33 for a fill which isn't the most expensive but not the cheapest I've seen either. Pedicure: I have had almost every girl at Pearl do my pedicure. I don't have any nasty toenails or fungus or anything gross on my feet. I am a runner so I tend to have some extra build up of dead skin on my heels. They do an ok job of exfoliating my feet but usually not a great job. I used to only get pedicures once a month but now I need to go every 2 weeks it seems. The technicians don't push you to get the deluxe pedicures but they do ask if you want it. The regular pedicure includes a massage... or a foot+calf rub with additional punching you in the legs for a while. I guess its pleasant. My only issue with they pedicure is that it does not last very long. Toes shouldn't need to be repainted every 2 weeks... in my experience but for some reason they do here. I forget how much it is but I imagine its reasonable as the p&w fill. Overall: - This place is clean and bright. - I never have to wait long to get my nails done - The ladies there are nice enough - They usually have CNN on the TVs so you're not stuck watching Dr. OZ or some bullshit soap opera... but it depends when you go in. Definitely recommend read more

I had prom to go to and I asked a simple design; coffin long nails with GOLD rhinestones on two fingers. She said she can do that. What I got was square short nails with YELLOW rhinestones. Then the next day my nail broke off. Like really? I went back and they redid it for free. But when I was on my way to prom the nail was a totally different shade. This place does not deserve the rating they have read more

I cannot rave enough about this place! Lena and Van are my go to girls for all my primping needs. i go in and get the works everytime i come home from a long trip. Nails, Eyebrows, Detox and full body hot rock massge. Helen and Lena do the massages and they are equally great at it. When i leave I am spitshined and ready for the world again. I tell Lean every time, you keep my feet and hands and body healthy with your treatments and healing hands. I hesitated to review them for fear of them getting too busy:) one of Austin's little secrets I am happy to share. The shop is really clean and bright, the staff is very friendly. read more

I went to this salon on Saturday 8/29 to get a pedicure and a full set. At the time I had been battling what I thought was a severe tension headache (it turned out to be something else, I don't have Covid). Anyway, I was went because I was hoping that some relaxation and self-care would help release the stress I was carrying in my body. I don't go to nail salons to just have pretty nails, I also go for the experience. I will say that my toes and hands turned out beautifully but it was not the most relaxing experience. I sat down for my pedicure first and a woman was seated next to me at the exact same time. I noticed the tech working with the other woman handed her a menu to select a type of pedicure. I was waiting for my nail tech to give me a menu but she just got started. I asked for one and she looked annoyed and gave me a menu. The whole pedicure seemed rushed and the tech seemed like she was just doing the minimum. I look over to my left the the woman sitting next to me (who got the same type of pedicure as I did) was getting a lovely foot massage which I did not get. I desperately needed to relax and I didn't get what I wanted. If I pay extra for deluxe pedicure, then I expect to get a deluxe experience. I want it to feel like I'm getting extra pampering. I was so disappointed that I didn't. The tech who did my hands was very nice but she definitely manhandled me. I wasn't feeling super great so I can guess that I was maybe not holding my hand right at times but my biggest pet peeve at a nail salon is when a tech says things like "help me!" and keeps moving my hands and arms around in rough ways. At one point I was sitting there thinking "idk what this woman wants from me, but clearly I'm not doing it right." Also at after putting on my tips she cut one of the nails way shorter than the others but she kept cutting the rest. When I said something, she snapped "yes, I will fix it for you!" But then she got super sweet. I hate getting mood whiplash while trying to relax. Also, she blamed me for cutting my nail too short (another pet peeve). She said it was because I was leaning too forward. Finally, at the end of my treatment, I verified the cost of everything because my count was lower but I thought she said a different number so it was my mistake. As soon as the tech explained it, I said "oh yeah, got it, thanks!" Said tech then explained the whole think like two more times. It was just not a great experience. I love my nails, but I probably wouldn't go back just because the experience was stressful and not relaxing at all and I made an appointment! If you haven't been here before, maybe try at an odd time and day. You might have a better experience than I did. read more

Kim does my nails (deeping powder) and her work is excellent! She's gentle and clean. Highly recommended. read more

All the staff makes me feel welcome like family EVERY time. Lina normally does my nails (with an amazing massage). However when she was not there I've had other ladies do my nails and I've always been happy. I will not go anywhere else. I'm a male and women tell me all the time how jealous they are of my nails. Thanks for the great work. I'll see you again soon! read more

It's a typical nail salon but the service is 5 Stars. I'm always happy with my pedicures. If they had autoclaved tools, I would have given them 5 stars. read more

I keep coming back here, love this place. Helen is amazing, she takes her time & is so kind and friendly.

A great, clean, professional nail salon. The women here are so nice and incredibly good at what they do. Very accommodating with good prices. read more

So my eyebrows are super complicated and very hard to shape and when I tell you Lina knows what she is doing she honestly does this is my third time coming to her and she never let's me down she is beyond sweet and makes sure i am happy with the way my eyebrows look!!! Thank you Lina..go check her out! read more

I get my eyebrows waxed here and they do a great job. They are also taking great precautions for COVID

Don't come here!! They will purposely cut your toenails into a shape that will give you ingrown nails. I have never had problems with ingrown nails until I came here. Now it's 3 months later and I'm still having to deal with the ingrowns. read more

I been a customer of this place for years but last two years they been rude and a bad service I went to this plane on Thursday morning trying to get a nice gelish manicure for my bday, but I had the worst manicure ever service was so slow (it took one hour and half and my manicure wasn't done yet, still a skin around my fingers and bubbles on the gelish a lot the missing color on my nails... gosh I spoke with the person in charge and even I said I was late and I have to go she insist to redo my manicure after a one hour and half they expect me to wait more time, really? Here is a pic of my "done manicure" I took right away I left the place, last time on there, looking for a different place to get my mani done! read more

Feel the love as you walk through the door. Exceptional service and attention to detail. They have worked hard to meet the Covid -19 challenges. A favorite Austin business read more

They would not let me get a gel manicure, instead making me get SNS even after I refused twice. I heard them doing the same to another customer. The nails then peeled off in 2 days. I won't be back. read more

I highly recommend this nail spa. Lina the owner makes you feel so special and Linda is excellent too. All the ladies there are great. You will not be disappointed. read more

Meh. Pedi- No bottom or top coat and the paint was all over my skin. Might as well do it myself. "Massage" that I asked to exclude was very painful, dug under my calf muscles and hit very awkward nerves, asked her to stop. No attention to the the feet whatsoever. No cuticle detail, no moisturizing. After, no drying under lights - just sent me out the door. Left feeling like I had to go somewhere else the next day. Won't be back. read more

You always have to wait even when you make an appointment. It almost seems like they are doing you a favor by doing your nails. It sucks because Van is awesome at her craft but her salon sucks. I've been left waiting for almost an hour while she finishes other people even when I call ahead. I call trying to make an appointment and get completely brushed off by the manager saying I need to come now if I'm interested in having her do my nails. I'll find somewhere new. Thanks anyway... read more

We had all decided that we wanted to get mani-pedis this weekend and my friend Tracy had been here before so she recommended it. We were WAY late for our appointment and we showed up 12 min before they were supposed to close yet they didn't mind at all. The staff was incredibly helpful and they did a great job. They even stayed late to do some eyebrow waxing without even the slightest bit of snarkiness. I would highly recommend this place because the prices are pretty reasonable, they don't use crappy products like some places do, and you get the sense that they genuinely love their customers. Not too many places make you feel like that anymore. read more

Two stars bc Tao does a nice pedicure. I wanted to do one star bc the manager is terrible at doing acrylics. They're bulky and crooked. I had to show her that she was putting my tips on so crooked they're almost sideways. Very uneven and looks like it was just glooped on. You know it's bad when other ppl are looking at your nails saying omg what did she go to you. I kept trying to tell her that I needed her to fix them, but she argued that they had to look like this bc I wanted them thick. Yea, thick like I don't want paper thin nails, not thick like how I had so much product on that it was even under my nails and pulling my skin. She had even put the acrylic product over my cuticles, which is painful bc it pulls on them and then it gets worse when they try to grow out. I've been getting my nails done for 15 years and do my own on occasion. I know this is not how you are supposed to do nails. They were so bad and hurt that I had to spend even more money and more time to get them completely removed and redone at Kim's the very next day. Don't get your hands done here. read more

My regular salon for mani/pedi. Nice ladies and there is a chair available 95% of the time, possible exception Sat morning. Love that they are open Sunday. Thanks ladies! read more

I got the older lady she was very rough filling my nails and cut my cuticle making it bleed. She made 3 nails look crocked had to fix my nails when I was home. I asked to paint them and she refused because I got pearl tips. Nope never going back read more

I love Pearl Nails! They are sweet and do a great job. The place gets busy though, so sometimes the wait is 30-45 minutes. They take their time and do quality work - I get busy, so I don't get fills as often as I should. I've had a full set (regular, not solar) for an entire month, no problems (except paint chips, but that's not their fault)! Been going here for over 2 years and service has always been great. Pedicures are good, as are waxing services. All prices are great and I love that they keep the door open for some fresh air on nice days. read more
