One of the workers was coughing frequently with their mask pulled down under their chin, which made the environment feel unsanitary. To make matters worse, I felt pressured into leaving a tip despite the poor quality of service. Between the lack of cleanliness, the health concerns, and the rushed atmosphere, I would not recommend this salon. I suggest taking your business elsewhere.

I came in for the first time today for a regular manicure and will not be back…read more I was seated quickly, which I appreciated, however, the rest of the experience raised many concerns. About halfway through the service, I noticed the clippers being used appeared rusted. The salon overall also did not feel very clean, with a noticeable layer of nail (?) dust on pretty much every surface (supply carts, lotion bottles, even the décor). The service itself felt rushed, and I had to ask multiple times for my nails to be evened out. I had to give up at some point and they remain uneven. Same with the paint - I had to ask for multiple corrections (bubbles in the paint, paint on my skin,...) and they still look unkempt. While I was drumming my nails at the end of the appointment, I also noticed a posted notice of violations, which added to my concern about cleanliness and standards. Lastly, I was pressured to add a tip at checkout, which was uncomfortable and didn't align with the quality of the service I received. Overall, I would recommend others take a close look at the cleanliness and service shortcomings before booking here.

I've been coming here for a while now, and I can't say enough great things about this nail salon…read more The entire team works incredibly hard, and you can tell they genuinely care about their clients. Lena, the manager, does an amazing job keeping everything running smoothly. She's always checking on customers, making sure everyone is happy! Helen gives one of the best pedicures I've ever had she's thorough, gentle, and always makes the experience so relaxing. Lynn is my go-to for full sets, and she never disappoints. My nails always look beautiful, and she pays so much attention to detail. If you're looking for a salon with talented technicians, great customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend this place. Thank you all for always taking such great care of me!

I mentioned one of the colors was too lite and asked if we could find a different shade and you would have thought the world was falling apart for her. She was so rude that I asked if she was okay to kinda hint how rude she was being. Going to check out the bill was $25.00 more than anticipated for stuff they didn't tell me about. I got multiple colors and they charged 10.00 for that. Not the charge itself but not telling me knowing I'm not a Reg customer there and not having it printed. 10 outta 10 would NOT recommend.

But since I'm new to living in Austin, I returned to this nail shop as they did a good job on my nails a few years ago! This will be one of my go-to places for sure, now. The only con is that they do charge a lot for a simple full set and pedicure but the prices are average nail shop prices so I expected to pay what I paid. Also, for the price I paid for my nails and toes they could've at least oiled my cuticles after completing the service. The customer service with the front desk staff was friendly and hospitable. I also like that they offer complimentary alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. They'll be seeing me again for sure.

The foot massage was good, I was sore for a day or two after it. But the price is ridiculously high. I paid $70 for each pedicure which for using cat eye polish on short nails they charged us $10 extra. Not worth the money, I can find places that are cheaper and provide better customer service. I won't be back. The ambiance is good, they have a nice aquarium and the place looks clean, however the prices and the attitude of the employees is preventing me for coming back to this place.

The stellar service in question: pedicures for $35 including a full 30-40 minute leg massage! The manicure also includes a 15 minute hand and shoulder massage which is heavenly! The massage is the star and that is why I keep coming back here. Whenever I have family visiting I bring them here because of this. The atmosphere is always welcoming (seems that they have slight staff changes :)) and friendly each time I arrive, they don't pressure you into adding on additional gel x etc! This time around I got a mani $20, pedi $35 and my eyebrows $7 waxed --all for $62 which is an unbeatable price and my toes and nails came out so PRETTY! Some things to note: They are renovating the area pedicure chairs where the pedicure chairs are, so it looks different and seems to be less busy in the morning. They used to serve beverages about a year ago so I'm not sure if that's on pause due to the renovation. This is a no frills shop! What you see is what you GET! It's very basic in appearance but has consistently good service. It's located right off first street and they do have onsite parking but the lot is tiny FYI.

It started pleasant enough with a receptionist that spoke fluent English, and they had a wide array of color choices. But this place was anything but "zen". I was in and out in under 45 minutes which would've been fine if they hadn't cut corners. If they'd billed themselves as "express" nails, I would have known what I was getting into. So if you're on your lunch hour or otherwise have limited time and need a quick fix to make your nails somewhat presentable for a big event that evening, this is the place for you. If not, you'd be wise to go almost anywhere else.

But after my moisturized up hands went back to the norm, all the sides of my fingers and around it looked like I chewed them up. I was even embarrassed to show my nails.

During my first visit, the technician rendered a poor manicure service where she ended up bruising my hand. Attaching pictures for reference. Also asked too many personal questions. I understand you want to do a small talk and keep your customers engaged but that does not mean you can ask personal questions!! The next time I went for a polished change and was shocked to see that the price is almost the same as a full service. That's absurd and when I politely questioned about the pricing, the guy at the front desk gave me a weird look instead of explaining it professionally. I hope this salon invests in better customer service (well mannered people at front desk). Being the only salon in the neighborhood doesn't matter, quality and humbleness is what brings customers back. Services offered at Queen spa riverside and Highland nails and spa can be unmatched. It's definitely okay to drive a few miles down to get a better service.
