I showed a photo of the nails I wanted and chosa color. I ended up with thick, uneven, bumpy Gel X extensions with glue touching my skin (that causes allergies.) The tech wanted to say "that is just how we do them." She gave the option of taking them off or fixing them- there was no way they could be fixed. I had them removed. THEN THEY ARGUED WITH ME AND CHARGED ME $15 for removal even though I said I would do it at home. My gel pedicure was $55 and she spent under 15 min on it and didn't remove my calluses or trim my bails. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I just wasted my time and $70 on a service I did not even receive. read more

I went to Relax Nails & Spa for a pedicure and was told to come back another day because a big group was coming. A minute later, I called to make an appointment, and suddenly they said they were available right away and I could come immediately. This made no sense and felt very inconsistent. It left me upset and unwelcome. read more

I desperately needed a pedicure and this nail salon was located within a 2 minute walk from where I was staying for the weekend. I was in a bit of a rush, so I went with the most basic pedicure that they had on their menu. It was anything but basic! It turned out to be one of the best pedicures I've had in a while. I wish I remembered the nail techs name, but she did such a great job and took good care of me. My feet are still SO soft! I wish I could have gone back the next day for a manicure but my time in town was a full schedule. I bet it would have been just as great though! I will definitely return when I'm back in Austin! read more

They always do such a good job and this time was the same! I came in with a reference photo and T.O.D. replicated it exactly. Love coming here! read more

June does an amazing job ALWAYS!!!! She cares about her customers and stays up to date on trends and education. I can't recommend this place enough. Every picture I've ever shown her was Executed perfectly. I drive 50 min to come see her because I know I will be happy with her work. I usually always get pedicures if I have time and they are amazing as well, And reasonably priced!! read more

Relax Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Let me preface this review by saying that I don't take dragging others businesses down lightly. However, my experience here was just unacceptable. The lady doing my nails, alongside their manager, were both very rude to me. At the beginning of the session, prior any design work done, I had asked to change my nail design to one being displayed on their TV. They both acted like it was some world-ending hassle, as if I weren't a paying customer either way. Additionally, they charged me more for my design that was simpler than my friends, saying that it was because they were using blooming gel, but then continued to not use blooming gel for my pinky, ring, and pointer fingers despite saying that's why they were charging me more. I'm not the one who does nails for a living, so I will believe you when you say my design is more complex. However, to say you are charging me more for something you never did is a whole other topic. They also were very belittling overall, acting super inconvenienced when i spoke. The fully grown manager even made whiny, childlike noises when my body twitched during some more complicated designs (drawing the french tip part) Not only that, but my nail popped off two days later. I've gotten nails my whole life done very regularly, and a majority of them have been mostly gel x and none have ever popped off, so to me it doesn't seem like user error. People are all human, so I don't see why they felt the need to treat me poorly. It isn't hard to be kind. read more

Relax Nails & Spa - broke off after two days. - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

If I could give 0 stars I definitely would. Do not waste your money here. I had a terrible experience at this nail salon. I showed the nail tech a photo of the nails I wanted, but what I got was the complete opposite - the ugliest nails I've ever seen. When I asked for help, they insisted on charging me an additional $20-$30 upfront for a fix or offered to remove them with no refund. The employees, including the nail tech, were unpleasant, treating me roughly and lacking professionalism. She also made me bleed as seen in the photo. The owner, Travis, was unbelievably rude, laughing in my face when I sought assistance. Avoid this spa; they clearly prioritize money over customer satisfaction. (On the left what I asked for, right what I got) read more

Cute nails but I was almost carjacked in the parking lot. Very unsafe, do not recommend

I followed my previous nail tech Cherry here and I've never been happier. She's been gone for a while but during that time I've been seeing Austin for the SNS. He always does such an amazing job and is incredibly gentle on my hands. His attention to detail is wonderful because I can be really picky about the fine details. I've been to other nail salons in Austin over the last 10 years and never could find one place I could really rely on and trust until I came here. All the staff I've interacted with are incredibly sweet and accommodating. The atmosphere is very welcoming and they always have on good current music. They even have on movies sometimes which is nice. I've yet to get a pedicure but I'd love to do that soon read more

Service was pretty bad during my experience here. My tech was super rough with my hands flipping them in every which direction, telling me I need to "help her", which is fine. I was trying to flip my hand and assist her, but I don't read minds unfortunately and this tech was RUSHING. Continuing on and she didnt even both to properly remove my regular black polish from the sides and around my nail. I feel like if she would've just slowed down my entire experience would've been better. This was not a relaxing vibe. I told her about the polish and she took one look at it and said "it's fine". (My nails are also crooked, but not a big deal.) When I told the man at the desk (who had wonderful customer service when we walked in) he said that her English is no good and there was nothing her could do farther to fix my nails. We were up charged from $55 to $67 too. We paid it because I didnt want to seem like I was complaining for a discount. *if you're looking for fast service go here **if you're looking for enjoyable service go literally anywhere else. read more

Love, love, love!!! This is the best nail salon I have ever been to and will always be my go to when I am in Austin. I've been going here for two years and have always been satisfied with my nail shape and designs. The staff is super friendly and put in a lot of effort to make sure you are satisfied with your nails! read more

I asked the nail technician to be careful because one of my nails was bruised. However, she struggled with English and didn't fully understand my request. As a result, she was rough with my nails, even damaging one of my cuticles. When I told her to be gentler and expressed that it was painful, she seemed to dismiss my concerns. As a result, my nails were left in a fragile and painful state for two days. She also ended up putting cuticle oil on top of my open wound, so this is not a sanitary place. read more

First time here, we were in town for the week for my daughters birthday. We walked in and they accommodated us right away and made sure we all sat close to each other. The service was great. The vibe was friendly. My sister, my daughter and I all left happy with the end results of our nails. They did a great job. read more

I have visited this salon three times and had a wonderful experience each time. The nail techs are gentle yet thorough. I have watched them open new, sanitized, instruments each of the three times I've visited. Whether the salon is bustling with other clients or just a few, they make you feel valued and are careful not to rush your service. Each time I've visited they've invited to me return and bring more friends. Check them out! read more

I am so glad I found this place! The staff was so so nice! I went in on a Tuesday around 1:45 and they got me right in. They kept apologizing because they were short staffed but I was able to get a pedicure and an SNS manicure in just over an hour. They took such good care of me! It's bright and clean. Their tools are all cleaned and they use liners for the pedicure baths, which I really appreciate! If I'm ever back in Austin I am definitely coming back! read more

Relax Nails & Spa - Sns dip - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had been coming here over 2 years but will not be returning again. They seem to have undergone major staff changes. On my last visit 11 days ago, I asked to get a new set of dip nails and I was persuaded to get a new set of gel instead. The color started peeling & chipping off the next day, & progressively became worse. When I returned 11 days later they asked me "what do you do for work" and had difficulty understanding why I was wanting them "fixed", seemingly blaming me for the damage. They put a new color on only, not a new set & charged me $35, overall it was a $100 manicure. Great place to go if you want ugly peeling nails & love wasting money. read more

I don't typically get my nails done, but I wanted the "hailey bieber" chrome nails for my 21st. The lady was extremely nice and they offer drinks. I made an appointment for 3:30pm but didn't get seated until 4pm. They were very busy, so I understand getting pushed back. Just something to keep in mind if you're in a rush. The overall experience was great and everything was clean except for I could tell that the buffers and nail files were not new. The thing that bothers me is that when I look at my nails, there are gaps where I can see my natural nails. (Pics are from the day after.) Also, on my right hand, my ring finger's extension looks a bit crooked. Compared to my other fingers, it also seems to be glued at more of an upward angle (posted pics compared to my middle finger). It came out to $75 minus 10% with my student discount + $12 tip. I might just spend the extra $$$ next time to get the gaps and the extensions fixed. read more

After a long and busy week of stress, my boyfriend treated me to a mani and pedi from Relax Nails and Spa. Exactly. What. I. Needed. This new nail salon near UT just earned a new long term customer because the service, vibe and overall nail job was phenomenal!! My nail techs Daisy and Donna did an amazing job on my acrylics. I had no irritation and she did an amazing job shaping my nails. She respected all of my suggestions and gave me a wonderful nail job. I also had such a relaxing pedicure. Great massage chairs to tie up the experience. UT students get 10% off with their IDs so I will be taking advantage of that offer! Make sure you look through their chrome collection! The white chrome added such a nice touch to my acrylics! Thank you so much Daisy and Donna. read more

I've been coming to see both Van and Daisy for 10 years- they consistently do an amazing job on my hands and feet! I love getting the CBD pedicure- highly recommend and it smells really good! The salon is very calm, clean and sanitary and they wear masks as well. It's nice to be able to get your nails done and actually relax. They offer free garage parking as well, and it's conveniently located next to Via 313 and Cheba Hut, so it's nice to be able to walk over and grab lunch or dinner after. read more

I cannot recommend relax, nails, and spa more highly. They always do an incredible job with my nails and are really kind and friendly and accommodating. This time when I came for my holiday nails, they even sent me home with a little gift of some moisturizer. I even came back after a day because one of my nails chipped and they fixed it immediately. The ladies are super sweet and I would highly recommend checking out and supporting a small business. read more

the staff is nice and does a great job! ask for Lynda if you want detailed designs - The staff are pretty fast too - I was in and out for a full sett of acrylics with an intricate design in 1.5 hrs read more

I am veeeery picky when it comes to my nails. I love this place! Vy (pronounced "Vee") did an excellent job with my acrylics. She took her time to make sure all of the details were perfect, including the shape and color. One thing I really love about this salon is that they will take your suggestions/input and incorporate it into your design so you are leaving with exactly what you want. The only reason for the 4/5 is that the cuticle clippers did not appear to have been sanitized; they were laying out and didn't come in a sealed autoclave bag, which can be a bit concerning. Overall, I will definitely be back. read more

Came here for a nail removal and Thu was amazing. She was very gentle and patient when removing my dip polish, and shaped my nails beautifully. Did not rush or hurt my nails in the process. As for the place itself, you can tell the owner took time to make this place aesthetic and clean. Very spacious and pretty inside. Plus, 10% student discount! Give this place a try. read more

Hands down the best nail salon I've been to in the last five years! I've worked with 3 different people there and they all have been so kind, taken their time and done excellent work. I had a nightmare experience with dip polish removal up the road that took months to repair and this salon is always so careful not to damage my nails. They get busy with the UT crowd during the week but you can always call and see how they're running or make an appointment! read more

Called, set up an appointment for two and upon arrival we were sitting down for our pedicures. It was a calm environment and the service was great from beginning to end. I don't always get my nails (hands or feet), so the price was surprising (expensive- mainly because I'm frugal) but, for a random self care day, it was worth it. I highly recommend Relax Nails & Spa. Thank you! read more

I had a great customer experience today! First time at this place, too. When one of the nail techs asked if I had ever tried a different style of nail polish, I hadn't so I wasn't too sure about it, but the patrons chimed in & said I should. So I did & they were all right! Wow! I've been looking for a new nail salon - and I do believe I've found just the right place for me! read more
