Always gorgeous nails, fast service, and the best management. I love everyone that I've had the chance to meet but River and Lana are the absolute gems keeping me coming back as a lifetime customer! Stop looking for your next best place and just come in. You can almost always have a pedicure and manicure at the same time which most places hardly ever accommodate. They all go above and beyond! read more

Queen Spa - Dip nails - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

Today the owner turned me down from a service because they said that their skills are not up to my standards. This is actually not only intended to embarrass me, but it's self admitting that they would do a poor job and rush through it. Also they tend to charge prices that are not listed on their menu read more

sorry not impressed. The reviews were good and I'm from out of town, so I went. It was packed! The girl who did my nails was rude and they are chipping all over the place! Will not go back. They had us sandwiched in there like sardines. read more

Was recommended to come here & the staff was very friendly and kind just the quality of the service was not that good. I got the builder gel and gel on top and it's already peeled off. It's not lasting as long as I was told. I also don't think she got it on lol my nails because the lady kept looking at her phone. read more

Queen Spa - Builder gel already peeling off - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

2 stars and not 1 for the lady who did my toes. Thank you. Went to get a gel mani pedi yesterday and left with lumpy nails. The guy who did them rushed. Went back today to ask them to fix it and they said gel designs aren't even on the nails - uh Yes they should be. You shouldn't send people out of a nail salon with lumpy uneven nails, that's crazy. They fixed one nail yesterday before I left (didn't realize the others were so uneven before leaving) by filing the design down and the color was still where it was supposed to be and the nail was flat and not lumpy. Today they tried to fix it the way I wanted making me feel like a nuisance the whole time. Sorry someone didn't do their job right the first time? Look, if I spend $120 at your business and I'm not happy with lumpy nails I think I should be treated kindly and not rushed out the door with still lumpy uneven nails. For that price I should be satisfied. I work in customer service and specifically respond to bad google and yelp reviews for my company. I hope the owner sees this and knows their people are rushing and not giving 5 star service when I'm paying a 5 star price. Why am I always having to write bad reviews for nail salons. Where are the good ones that care about their customers nails actually looking good. Won't try this place again. read more

Auna was great!!! Super sweet & ensured that I was happy with everything before I left. Thank you!

Full set with tips, dip powder. I'm a nail biter which means a lot of work to make them look good. I've going here for years and have never been disappointed. The techs are experienced, friendly and responsive. read more

My favorite place to do my nails! When I moved here, I was nervous about finding a spot that can execute on my unique designs AND maintain good quality. A year later - they've done nothing but go above and beyond! It's nice calling up there, they know my name, and being flexible with getting me taken care of. Can't recommend this place enough read more

Love this place!! Everyone here is always very friendly and accommodating. I recommend Manzy for any acrylic nail/ manicure, she always checks in to make sure the nails look how you want and does a perfect job!! read more

Queen Spa - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was my first time trying this salon. I had high hopes because it had good reviews and the tech I chose had good reviews too. The salon and tech were very nice during the session. The tech helped me pick the colors and order of the colors and I was very happy. At first glance the nails seemed nice enough. Bonus points for not over filing and burning me, didn't clip, cut, or scratch me at all - top notch comfort. But upon closer inspection the quality is not what I wish it was. There is a large gap on almost every nail where the gel x was not fully adhered to the surface of my nail and around the cuticle which suck because things like lotion gets stuck in there and you need to use a brush (like toothbrush) to get it out. The gel wasn't cleaned up around the cuticle and I can already feel voids around the cuticle where my hair will eventually catch when I'm tying up my hair, etc and it'll cause the nails to fall off faster. I've gotten gel x all across Texas and multiple states (I travel for work); so I've come across a lot of sub-par places, but have also found some talented and quality techs. I needed to find a solid place in Austin because I'm here indefinitely for work, but back to the drawing board. read more

The last two gel manicures I've had here have been the best I've ever had. They last and look great. I'm impressed.

I've been going to Queen for many years They are truly the best ! River does an amazing job of keeping things running smoothly and meeting everyone's needs. I can't say enough about my nail tech Ruby ! She is gentle and my nails are perfect every time !! Grateful for Queen Spa!! read more

IVY DID AMAZING !! Second time working with her and I love how she shapes and does my nails. Alice did my pedicure and also did an amazing job!! Thanks guys. I've been coming here for years and only had one bad experience I can recall, and today Ivy made my nails perfect!! read more

Queen Spa - Adorable - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

Reduced stars for bad parking, packed seating without ample space & my nails only lasting for 7 days before chipping. I looked up this business on IG and Yelp before setting an appt. I took the first available nail tech. Really sweet girl. Paid attention to detail except for in the end when my nails needed to dry & be caped. Having simple SNS dip on my natural nails was a great price maybe $40. It jumped an additional $30 just for simple flower/gold stickers. That's expensive $70 nails?? Gel pedicure, perfect. Still looks brand new. I had to return to the salon within 30 mins because my thumbs felt sticky & unsealed. Corrected right away. Matter of fact, the owner rushed to get me service & remembered my name from having just walked out with a mask on. Many customers weren't wearing masks even while the salon offered them @ the door. That's all over crazy Texas! read more

Queen Spa - Dip powder on natural nails with sticker design $70 - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

Absolute 5 stars--such a great experience! I came in and wanted a design to match a dress I had just bought, but unsure of the exact style and complementary colors I wanted. Lee was AMAZING (and very patient with me, as I kept changing my mind lol!) and she helped me pick a perfect color scheme for the VIBRANT and FUN vibe I was going for. I 100% recommend coming here--go to Lee!! read more

Queen Spa - Summer nails - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had an appointment and everyone was busy, but it was a very quick wait. They have you pick out the colors during the wait. It's my first time at a nail salon, but I always see the horror stories online about designs and subpar technicians, but this place was very comfortable and everyone was so knowledgeable! My technician's name is Mazy, shes very friendly and I love that she expresses her opinions on a design! The pricing is fairly reasonable, and I love how the details came out in my set, I'll definitely be back! read more

River, sweet as always, texted me and asked me to come back to get my nails fixed and they did an amazing job. I really appreciate the Queen Spa team for reaching out and making time for me on a very busy Sunday morning. I still recommend this place to my friends and will keep coming back here. Thank you, River! You have earned my loyalty back for sure with your kindness and customer service. read more

She didn't know what she was doing, my toe nails were still sharp around the edges and when I asked her to make my big toenails look she same she looked at me like I was speaking another language and still did nothing about it. $55+ for crappy fake toenail fill read more

I've been going there for a few months and I love being able to book online. The staff is very nice and welcoming and always try to be respectful of your time. I love going to Jess the most, she is sweet, perfectionist, gentle and she always get my nails looking amazing! River, the owner, is also awesome! She makes sure you get what you wanted, in time, and bonus is she remembers her customers. read more

Queen Spa - Ombré by Jess - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

I visited Queen Spa for the first time while I was in the area and decided to give it a shot. It felt a bit pricey, but the quality of the service made it worthwhile. I had a manicure and pedicure, and everything was great. They also accommodated me as a walk-in, which was nice. read more

I don't have a preferred nail salon. I always go to different ones depending on the Yelp reviews I read. I'm usually disappointed. I'm so happy to say that I was very surprised by my experience here. PARKING This is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. It's so hard trying to find parking around this part of South Lamar. I was afraid my car was gonna be towed by Black Sheep Lodge (which I love btw!! please don't). You shouldn't park there but I was short on time and hey at least I got a beer here afterwards ya know :) STAFF As soon as I walked in River greeted me and asked what I was getting done. I made an appointment online and it worked out perfectly. I didn't wait more than 2 minutes! I was like what?! I quickly picked my color, black matte with a gold foil accent nail ($5 per nail with foil btw) and was seated right away. My Nail technician/ esthetician Mimi hooked me up! I haven't gotten a manicure in almost a year yall!!! My nails needed some major love. She was really fast, friendly, and adorable. Two of my nails puffed up but she fixed them super fast and I didn't feel like it took long at all. I was really shocked when she told me we were done. These men & women are absolutely kings & queens! NAILS I saw all the beautiful work they've done online. I was not disappointed. My nails turned out just as I expected them to. I can't wait to show them off and get all the compliments! I'm ready for 2022! I will be coming back again. I'm looking forward to my next visit. Give them a try. I hope your experience is as lovely as mine was. Mimi you're the best!!! UPDATE Ok, it's been one day since I had my nails done. Four of the matte nails starting peeling off and the gel underneath isn't even dry?! What! I'm removing the 4th star and giving them 3 now. Not cool.. 2nd UPDATE I appreciate the business owner reaching out to fix my nails. I emailed them to schedule another appointment but I haven't heard back. Regardless I appreciate her offering. read more

Good place to get your nails done! I had a mani pedi done with my daughter and they did a fantastic job. She got gel X nails and they were amazing. They were very considerate and I got excellent service. I loved my mimosa too! ;-) I hate that the parking is not fantastic, but that's Austin..lol. This place is so busy, but I can see why it's so popular. I'd like to come back when it's not too busy so I can relax a little more. read more

My go-to nail salon!! It's always clean, comfortable, and they have a wide selection of manicure options and services. A few days ago I went in for my bridal nails and Lee did a fabulous job. She really took her time to shape them as I wanted and to create the design. Will definitely continue going back. read more

Queen Spa - Gel full set with design - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

Very disappointed. My gel manicure is chipping after less than 24 hours. The technician doing my nails was extremely rushed and only fixed a bumpy uneven bottom coat on my thumb after I pointed it out twice. She hardly let my hands sit in the light and rushed through the painting, looking over her shoulder and talking to other employees most of the time. As a mom of a little one, it's hard to get to the salon. I definitely don't have time to go back to get it fixed. I've been here numerous times because it is convenient and it always feels rushed. The manicures never last long (have had dip and gel). There is often a wait because they get very busy. You then feel like they rush to get you out and move on to the next person. They sometimes tell you there's no wait but you sit in the pedicure chair waiting (up to 45 minutes in the past). I also don't think they sterilize their instruments between clients. They pull them out of an already open autoclave bag, which is obviously not ok. I definitely won't be going back here again. Would NOT recommend. read more

Pretty good! Lee did my SNS dip manicure and she was very pleasant. The manicure color looks great. It is a little thick for my taste and there are a couple imperfections, but that's pretty standard and overall the manicure looks very pretty. read more

Queen Spa - Holiday nails - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

The BEST nail salon in Austin! The first time I went I got SNS and was so happy with results that I thought I just lucked out! I forgot to get the technicians name who did my nails so I went second time and got a different person and was so happy again. After that I just kept going without requesting anyone in particular, and they always do such a beautiful, thorough job, like they actually care and take their time not just rush through it so they could start on the next customer! Also, they last so long, I used to get my nails done when I lived in LA all the time, and I have never had them last as long as these ones from Queen spa. Highly recommend, they're also really good with designs if you're into that, bring an inspiration photo, and they will do exactly that. Decently priced, not cheap, but also not through the roof. read more

Queen Spa - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

I feel like I can objectively say this is the hands down best nail studio in Austin. When I moved here 13 years ago, I was not an exclusive kinda nail client. I went to any studio that was nearby, and used any aesthetician they had. Over the years have tried a few dozen different salons, and eventually I found myself going out of my way to visit Queen Spa. I rarely make appointments with anyone in particular because they all do an EXCELLENT job. You may find a favorite, but rest assured you can book with anyone in a pinch and have gorgeous nails that last. Above all else, the thing that makes me so loyal to this place is their consistency. I am simply thrilled with my nails and experience every time. You won't regret going here... and tip well! These folks are worth it. read more

Love this place!! I regularly go for nails and brow maintenance and have only great things to say. 100% recommend. Specifically for brow lamination - MICHELLE!! She's so talented and made my brows look beautiful. She is also extremely funny and authentic and hanging out for an hour was so much fun. Would like to be friends IRL. I have probably been to this place 100 times over the past few years before leaving a review, but the above and beyond exceptional service and experience with Michelle was what made me want to leave a note to tell everyone how good it is. read more

I was very pleased with the friendly service at Queen Spa! My nail technician was super kind in making sure I got what I wanted and allowing me to be seated next to my friends. The manicure experience was overall pretty good, but I do feel like it was a bit rushed, but this was probably due to the fact that we came in close to closing time. I do like how my nails turned out, but I've also had better nail experiences before that were more precise and attentive. Additionally, I do think that the salon could improve by taking more sanitary precautions, like asking clients to wash their hands before the manicure. Regardless, Queen Spa is still a great place to go to and the dip powder ended up costing $48 pre-tip which is pretty standard. They also provide complementary drinks, which was such a wonderful surprise. My friends and I all got mimosas and felt very pampered during the process! read more

Good service, great pricing! They have plenty of space and staff so the wait was short. I didn't like the color I originally picked out but loved how my nail stylist picked out a few colors and painted each toe differently so I could really get a sense of which I liked. I will be back read more

This place is great! I scheduled an appointment for my bridal party to get manicures and pedicures. They offer a drink out two as well. My nail technicians listened to me and did a wonderful job, especially on my bridal nails My flower girl had her first experience getting nails and toes done and absolutely loved it! Pricing is reasonable for Austin. Parking is scarce is the only problem, but otherwise an awesome little shop. read more

Queen Spa - Skin Care Near Me - Austin, Texas

There's nothing "queen" or luxurious about this place. Not the vibe I was expecting at all. With "queen" in the name I was expecting something bright and sparkly and it's just grey, sterile yet unrefined. They were cranking people out like a sweat shop (granted it was Saturday afternoon) not an inviting experience, and I felt rushed to pick out my color. Maybe I'm used to boujee places, but they didn't even offer a beverage of any kind. While fast and affordable and decent work, I didn't feel like a Queen coming or going. I was specific about what shape I wanted on both my nails and toes and both were incorrect and had to be fixed. Also not sure why my pedicure even had a tub to soak my feet because they only sat in there for about 30 seconds. I personally look forward to my feet soaking in the warm bubbles and I didn't get the pleasure of enjoying that. It also doesn't feel like my feet were massaged at all and I got the Deluxe. Very run of the mill all around. The staff is very friendly, but I won't be back unless I need something convenient with my expectations set lower. I honestly couldn't wait to leave. read more

I love it here! The customer service is amazing and everyone is extremely kind! My nails always look great and generally don't chip quickly! I highly recommend!! read more

I've been coming here for months now and have loved my experience every time! I always ask for Lee for my SNS manicures because she has such a careful hand! She's also so sweet and funny.
