amazing service and beautiful results! they have the best color selection as well. I get the gel x and it lasts me 3-4 weeks

This was my first time at Queen Spa and I had a good experience! I got a gel pedicure. It was a bit pricy but nothing too crazy. There was an up charge for both gel polish and callus removal (which isn't unheard of by any means), the charges were just a bit more than I expected. Service: I made an appointment and they immediately had a spot ready for me upon arrival. There are tons of colors, add-ons, pedicure variations to choose from which I appreciate. My biggest complaint is that the gel polish completely peeled off one of my toes the day after I got my pedicure. Luckily, it was a pinky toe so it's not super noticeable but still frustrating. Parking: There's a small lot and some street parking. I believe there's additional parking across the street as well. read more

I had a great overall experience, but a there were a few things at Queen Spa that didn't sit right with me. First, I made an online appt with Danny, and when I came in, he was not assigned as my nail tech. Not a huge deal, but why is there the option to pick a nail tech when making an appt online if it is not honored? Second, I wish I had been given a heads up on how incredibly PAINFUL the hard gel is. I got a Russian manicure with hard gel, and I have never experienced this kind of pain in my life. I have a high pain tolerance - I'm covered in tattoos and piercings. When I asked my nail tech if it was normal, she said it's because I had the Russian manicure first (pushing my cuticles back, etc.). If this was the case, why would she fail to inform me of the pain I would experience, or why would she not suggest doing something else? Another nail tech next to us was coaching her, so it didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. She also cut my cuticle so badly that it continued to bleed throughout the entire time she was doing my nails. So this is a warning for anyone looking at reviews wanting to get the hard gel - IT HURTS. A LOT. I did some research and it sounds like the thicker the layer of gel, the more it will hurt. I would think that a professional nail salon would know to do thinner layers as to not hurt their customers. I will probably be returning as I have had good experiences before, but I will be going back to SNS dip. I definitely think Queen Spa should give some sort of warning to people new to hard gel, because the pain really ruined my experience, and it was pretty scary. My nails turned out nice, but there is still some residual pain today (one day after). **EDITED TO ADD:** River reached out to me after reading this review, and was very sweet and apologetic. She spoke with the nail techs to remind them that nothing should be this painful, and to communicate with customers better about what to expect with the service they select. I appreciate how River went above and beyond to ensure I knew that she cared about my experience and that she took what I said seriously. I have a lot of respect for business owners like River. If you have any issues at Queen Spa, I know that River will be happy to discuss and make sure something similar will not happen again. read more

I was really trying to like this place. I've been going to them since October, why? Because I didn't wanna go looking for somewhere else. But honestly. Save your time and money. If you need to pay more to go to a better place. Take my advice and do it. My last 2 appointments were terrible. First they removed the gel from my skin that the lady had dropped on me with a nail buffer, now I have a discoloration. I even decided to go back. Got builder gel and a pedi. And I'm embarrassed. They're all different sizes. Design looks like my niece did it. And they were so rushed. Again I really wanted to like them even for the basic things. But save your money. Trust me, you can find a better place. read more

Pedicure 5/5! Amazing. Dip Mani 2/5 - really subpar. Just depends on who you get I guess. My mani was rushed, nails are all different shapes, thicker than it should be and no cuticle work. Had to ask for them to unstick my nails from my fingers with a file. Big gel rings at the base of all my nails. Just really bad. Otherwise it's a nice spot but I had a really poor experience and I'm well versed in manicures. Sadly I won't be back. read more

I'm pretty sure I've written like three reviews now but I am consistently impressed by the staff at Queen Spa. I am autistic and oftentimes can become non-verbal when other factors in my life are too much. I was really nervous about going into the salon with a note explaining this, but all of the staff I worked with was wildly understanding. River, Lee, and Lana really made my day. Historically I have worked with Sammy and Vivian and they are also rockstars. Thanks River for making me feel safe in your salon time and time again. Thanks for providing accommodations and being the most inclusive salon in town. I massively appreciate it. read more

If you are looking for an AMAZING nail salon in Austin the search is over! Queens spa has become my all time favorite nail salon. Their website makes it incredibly easy to book an appointment as well as check out prices. As soon as you enter your greeted by a king staff and beverages upon request. That being said the true gem of this place is nail technician Lee! She is a true artist and is always able to create the exact design I was hoping for. Everytime I come in with a crazy new design I found on Pinterest she always outdoes herself! Not to mention these nails always last me about three to four weeks without ever breaking. When you come in request Lee and I promise you will never need to look for another nail salon again! read more

My friend recommended Queen Spa when I began frequenting Austin in October of 2022 and I have been back to their spa time and time again and always leave happy with a perfect mani. I usually always set an appointment but they're pretty accommodating when it comes to same-day appointments/walk-in's. My go-to nail tech is Iris. She is the sweetest and does an amazing job with dip manicures (SNS). But I will say that I have gone in last minute, as a walk-in and will have both a manicure and pedicure with whoever is available, and they all do great work. All their nail techs are professional and friendly. If you're looking for a great manicure and chip-free nails, Queen Spa is your place and worth every penny. read more

Queen Spa came highly recommended from a trusted friend and 2 years later, they are the only salon I go to for my manis/pedis. I love many things about this salon, mainly that they respect appointment times, River, the front end manager/owner, is amazing and runs the salon with an iron fist, the salon is always clean, they offer you drinks, they are on trend with the latest offerings with catchy slogans to include "Yass Queen" and they have many technicians available, with my top two favorite technicians being Lee and Cindy. I have been seeing Lee for the past year and my nails are always on point! She knows me so well, that she knows what I like whenever I come in. Cindy is a great pedi tech and I love chatting with both of them during my visits. We are so close, that when I'm dozing off, we all get a good laugh. read more

UPDATE: I was contacted by the salon owner who is working with their team to update training and safety measures on their Russian manicures. As previously mentioned in my original review, I truly enjoy going here and have always had a good experience in the past with this exception. I look forward to trying the Russian manicure again after they receive more training. ORIGINAL: To start, I've been here before and had a great experience in the past. This last trip did not live up to my expectations. I got a Russian manicure after seeing it advertised on the window. The nail technician was so rough on my hands that almost one week later there's still blood where my cuticles were on several nails. One finger is bruised at the nail bed where she dug out my cuticle too. Six days after the manicure it's already chipped. If you're looking for a Russian manicure, recommend going elsewhere. read more

This place always does an amazing job- especially if you're doing dip/ and. I go here at least once every 5 weeks. Doesn't matter who you see, male or female, they do great. Pricing is average for Austin too- about $45 for a full set, pedis run about $5 less but again, still a great service/job. Mine always come out the perfect almond shape and not too thick, very natural. Note: even if you have an appointment, and I highly suggest you make one, you will likely spend 5-15 min waiting. This place is always packed, especially on weekends. Try for early morning on a weekday read more

Love love love coming here. I usually just walk-in for a mani-pedi and have never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes. Every nail tech I've had has been wonderful, though I know some people book with the same person every time they come! The place is like a well-oiled machine, rotating people from pedi chairs to the manicure tables as needed. Sometimes they'll start the mani during the pedi and just help you carefully relocate to a table for finishing once the pedi is done. I believe a solid variety of drinks are available though I always get the free water. I only started getting my nails done this year after 25 years of never even painting them, so I may not be the best person to comment on quality and other details-- but from my experience, I have no reason to go anywhere else and I will keep coming here as long as I can! I ended up getting my nails done for both my engagement photo shoot AND my wedding done here as a walk-in (risky, I know), but I was so happy with the results both times and the women loved talking weddings with me. I felt so cared for. My (now husband) sometimes comes too for a relaxing pedicure and opts for the nail buffing instead of paint. read more

Poor quality nails services. Chaotic, rushed and rude environment from workers. Salon is DIRTY, old nail clippings all over and dirt. Appointments made online also mean NOTHING read more

Many things to be said about this place and in no particular order: 1. Lack of personal space - the pedicure area looks fine but the manicure area... all the stations are so squished in close together that's it's almost impossible for you to move. You will be right up close to the stranger next to you. 2. Poor quality supplies - I have had my nails done here several times and every time my nails will start to lift within the first week (my guess is the primer they use is trash). They also must use some industrial strength glue to secure the acrylic tips onto the nails bcuz omg are they stuck on there and incredibly painful to remove. So not only do you have the problem of your nails lifting at the base within a week, but if they lift enough that majority of the nail comes off... you can't just pop the rest of the nail off bcuz the tip of the nail is still so stuck on that it painfully rips your natural nail tips off too. Even when I do the proper soak off method this still happens. 3. Price - Prior to moving to Austin I was blessed with having one of the best and most creative nail techs in Houston for 3+ yrs so I am no stranger to the costs associated with having medium length acrylic nails with intricate designs. HOWEVER, this place is insane. For the quality of the nails and novice level design skills this place is a joke. First time I went they charged me $130 (not including my tip) for a full set, med-long length (not even an inch long), and some foil design work. Thought the price was a little high but I did get foil on every nail so I kinda wrote it off. Mind you, I still went home and had to file down excess gel powder that had hardened underneath my nails and had not been removed/filed down by my tech. Second time I went I had to wait 30+ min after my scheduled appt time. I got a fill and kept the same length but the new designs were very basic and minimal. Still, they charged me $130 and again, I had to file down excess gel powder that had hardened underneath and was not removed. I'm sorry but $130 for a FILL, no additional filing down, and basic basic designs.. like you're joking right? They charged me the same price the first time I went and that was for a full set with way more intricate designs so please - make it make sense. I would normally argue the price but it was already an hour past closing (due to my appt starting so late) and my nail tech was the only one left in the building besides me so I knew there wasn't much she could do about it without management there. So I paid it and told myself I would never be coming back here again. read more

I've only been to Queen Spa a handful of times, but this last experience left me really impressed. It was a random Saturday and I knew that I had a slim chance of getting in due to not having an appointment. Anyways, I called ahead and asked if they had room for me and the staff member advised me that they had room for me if I showed in about 20 minutes! So of course, I hopped in my car and zoomed right over. I had a minimal wait and was able to choose the color I wanted for my pedicure. I like their basic pedicure because it gets the job done without all the frills. My tech was efficient, kind, and nice. While I was in the chair I decided to add getting my nails done. This is where I became impressed. I had a vision in mind (from one of the pictures previously posted) and my tech new exactly what to do. I didn't need to add a tip (I like my natural nails REALLY short) and I am incredibly impressed with the overall look. I've gotten tons of compliments and overall just a really good experience. read more

I stopped in on a visit to Austin from out of state, and wanted to get my nails done for a bit of me time. I would not recommend this salon. The male nail tech doing my pedicure went through my pedicure so quickly that he forgot to exfoliate my other foot. The other male nail tech who completed my gel-x manicure sped through it SO quickly and while I was fine with the results because they turned out alright, it's now been less than a week and my nails are already popping off. I understand that more often than not, it's about maximizing the amount of clients that can be serviced, but the quality is just not there. At the end of my visit I was charged for "extra long acrylic nails," and when I pointed it out I was told the charges were all the same. For reference I got relatively short Gel-x nails with a basic French tip design. They aren't transparent about pricing so I'm not even sure if what she said was accurate - maybe someone can confirm. The atmosphere is really nice and clean, and maybe my experience would have been different if I had other techs but I will not be returning once my move to Austin is finalized. Gel x pedicure - $80 Basic queen pedi - $60 Update: I called to confirm the price of the gel x manicure and was told it starts at $68. So, apparently, this is considered "extra long." Seems very shady. read more
