Run, don't walk, and ask for Helen! She's phenomenal and was SO patient with my daughter who was there for her 7th birthday. She gave us some recommendations around the city and was very friendly and thoughtful! If we lived in the city, she would be my go to for sure. read more

Went in for a pedicure and had a great experience. We got the mid range pedi service and had relief from an ingrown. Scrub, paraffin wax, & massage was amazing. Everyone was friendly, we will be back. read more

My experience here was great! I walked in without an appointment on a Saturday morning (about 45 minutes after they opened) and was seated right away. I told my nail technician what I wanted and she complied without trying to upsell. I got the signature pedicure which was amazing and the shellac manicure. I'm usually very ticklish when it comes to my feet but my tech took her time to the point where I got used to her touch and could actually relax and enjoy myself. The tech kept checking in with me to make sure she wasn't being yo rough or the towels and water weren't too hot. I will definitely be back! read more

Van's Nail Salon - Shellac - Nail Salons Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

It has been four years since my last pedicure of any kind (October '21). Then, two years ago I dropped a 70lb steel object on the big toe of my right foot which probably broke it (September '23). My big toe was swollen and dark purple for some months before the toenail became detached in my shower (March '24). When the nail grew back it went sideways as a result of my now misshapen toe, slicing into the side of my toe to create a separate peninsula of skin. Naturally, the blood and then the pus would flow out and for a time I had to frequently apply a tincture of antiseptic to manage the developing infection but once that subsided my foot fell into a resting state of low-medium but manageable pain. The purple of my toe had subsided to a tender red, and the nail took on a yellowish sheen from the pus. For some months I hadn't sought treatment or even clipped the nails as I had feared the resulting pain which usually followed might disrupt my participation in local footraces. I thus concluded that my right foot would serve as the perfect control group to assess the level of care that could be provided by Van's Nail Salon. I immediately got on a plane to San Antonio and entered the salon at about 11:30am local time on December 11th. The staff greeted me and offered me a complimentary drink for which the options were many but I chose the Long Island Iced Tea (wow!). The staff was nonjudegmental of my foot and even took the care to be gentler with the Pedegg due to my sensitive feet, while still not cutting a corner or sacrificing any measure in the harvest of dead skin deposits. I went with a clear coat finish bolstered by the cucumber aroma and could not be happier with the relief in my toes. The technician was very observant and even spotted an abscess on my toe which had previously gone undiscovered. Overall I could not be happier with the level of care I received for what I paid for, which was somehow cheaper than my last pedicure four years ago. read more

I would never go to another nail salon. This place is fantastic. Everybody has great attention to detail and cares about their clients. Lena, in particular, is my favorite. I will ask for her every chance I get. She's very gentle and kind with fantastic attention to detail. 10/10 recommend, this is the only place I'll get my nails done. read more

For the price of pedicures here and then for the tech not even to listen to me. Ouch, should sum it up!! :Several times I said, you are bring to rough and to slow down and nothing :( Ugh read more

Van's Nail Salon - Unbelievable! ! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

She was so much of an rush. I've gone to this lady for three years since I moved back from Wyoming I never had had an issue the last three times that I've gone. My nose are crooked as you can tell on one of the nails it is she tried to make it bigger because she had made it really small. My fingernails for my fingers are cut open the nail when I asked her to put the little image on there. She got mad because she messed up three times said she said it was a nail polish his fault then she said it was my finger and then she wanted to just leave it like that and if you can't see the word kiss, it's all scratched off then she had to know to say where are you gonna pay and I said why are you gonna fix my nails right worse ever never will be going back there again read more

Van's Nail Salon - The word is all coming off this is just walking out - Nail Salons Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

They had a lot of drink options just wish they where a bit stronger got a piña colada didn't even feel like it had rum but very good message chair they have for pedis and they have prices are very reasonable if you feel like getting a cheap fast pedi to something more extra. I got a $45 dollar one just to try it out first and honestly it was amazing hot towels + paraffin wax +18 shellac reasonable for the area ur in. read more

I always have a wonderful experience from the moment you sit in the chair and the tlc you receive for your pedicure experience and complimentary drink menu , also my friend came with me and needed alot of work as they had never had a pedicure it reallly made a difference in their daily life . read more

I told them how I'm extremely allergic to nail gel and he still decided to put nail gel on my feet so now I'm Itchy and pain and I told him several times do not use nail gel and he kept asking to put nail gel on my feet after I told them no And he did a shitty job on my toes Not worth $50 read more

To start off I got there at 12 pm thinking ok this won't take too long, I was soaking for about an hour before anyone came to do anything. When the guy finally gets to me he asks me if he could file my nails instead of cut I told him if he feels that's better than ok. I wanted to do a gel color but aside from the basic pedicure priced at 32.00 they added 18.00 on top of the pedicure price for gel. I opted for a regular nail color instead. By this time he finally finished everything and it was paint time it was 1:38, I asked him if it would take long and he said yes so I just told him I had to leave because my child care was only for 2 hours. I get home with no color whatsoever whatever fine, but this mad didn't even take my hang nails off or anything l was so upset with the worked I shouldn't have even tipped. I should have listened to the reviews and gone somewhere else. Save your time and money do not go here! read more

I decided to try this place out and I was a little disappointed. My pedicure was amazing and they did a great job, but my acrylic set wasn't good. I think my nail tech was still learning or maybe he wasn't feeling well that day, but they were really lumpy and the shape was inconsistent. Pedicure was great though, I just wouldn't recommend it for acrylics. read more

My 5 stars is for Kevin specifically. Any picture or idea I show him he executes perfectly. read more

Their service is awful.. even with an appointment you will have upwards of 45 minutes to be taken care of. I walked in to get my eyebrows waxed and had to wait over an hour to be serviced. I am always SO disappointed by the time it takes to be seen and taken care of. read more

love this place the ladies are awesome! another great thing is that it is very clean. they really try to keep you happy and they offer you something to drink read more

This is a wonderful salon with excellent prices! I came in as a walk in and they took me right away! While I was getting my pedicure, many people came in (walk ins and appointments) and they made sure to accommodate everyone in a timely manner. All of the employees are so kind and beautiful! Everything was very clean and they offer you a refreshment. I got a basic pedicure and a manicure with gel, and they both were beautiful! They both included massages, so I left feeling so soft and moisturized :) I had such a pleasant experience, I definitely recommend! read more

It's my Birthday and I went in for a manicure and pedicure. I was waiting an hour with my feet soaked to the point they were so wrinkly from waiting so long. No one came by once to check on me. I walked out with wet feet and one of the employees asked if I was finished and I said "No one came by to do my pedicure I've been waiting and hour" and he and all the other employees stayed really quiet and I left read more

I was a repeat customer for a couple of years. Recently, I noticed the quality of work was declining. They seem to rotate nail techs and it was hard to establish a rapport with an individual. My last appointment was the worst. The nail tech couldn't get my nails even or shaped. He kept filing each nail too much and I wound up with very short misshapen nails. Additionally, he started applying the wrong shade of polish and insisting it was the same color as the polish on my toes. He didn't want to fix it and kept blaming the polish manufacturer. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Never gotten a pedicure before so I decided to try this place out because the prices were cheap compared to other places. Staff is extremely nice, they did good with the painting and the pedicure overall. But just so you all know you need to be patient when you come to salons. This lady was complaining about someone taking longer than others. Just appreciate that they're doing this for you. I like when they take their time, you can't complain about someone not rushing a pedicure that you're paying for, they ensure you're paying for the service you get. Everyone has their own thing going on. Don't be the straw that breaks the camels back. read more

My first time here started off good. They sat me down and wrapped my nails as soon as I arrived. The problem was that there wasn't anyone available to do my nails for a long period. I waited about 25-30 minutes before anyone came over to start my nail dip. It would have been nice to know ahead of time that I should expect to wait that long. It was kind of deceiving thinking they were taking me in right away. I know it takes time to get your nails dipped, but I was there for 1.5 hours from start to end. Now, I did give them a four star because aside from the time it took, they did a good job. The lady assisting me was super nice. I have only had my dip polish for two days, but so far so good. The place looks clean. I'm not sure about other prices, but for dip, it was $45. I'm used to paying $40, but I know some nail salons are going up in price. I would definitely return, but it would have to be on a day that I don't have other things to do read more

GROSS this place is so dirty and unsanitary i walked in asked to get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed we walked into a room with a super old bed and yellowish towels laying on top of it, she didn't wash her hands or wipe off my eyebrows with alcohol before she started waxing. would not recommend read more

On a very busy intersection, No wait time but soon as I sat down people started coming in. They did not have numbers on the colors so it took them some time to figure out what color they were looking for ( color came out right) but I must say that was the quickest shellac manicure I've ever had, needless to say service was decent and my nails came out good. read more

If you're in a hurry and not looking to relax this is your salon ! I waited over 45 minutes , then was rushed thru my mani / pedi ! Obviously the gal had somewhere else she'd rather be ! In addition the shellac is chipping and coming off after 6 days ! I would give a zero if I could ! read more

The last time I got my nails done, They turned out very wacky and unprofessional so I decided to give this place a try. My nail technicians name was Jessica and not only was she cute and bubbly but she was very friendly and also commented that she liked my nails. She did an amazing job and I would definitely recommend coming back here. Great service. read more

My favorite nail place ever!! Always do a wonderful job. My husband and I relocated to Dallas over a year ago and I still make every effort to stop and get my nails done whenever I'm in town. I've tried other places on Dallas and have yet to find one that does as good of a job. read more

I made a visit here because it's close to my apartment. I truly felt discriminated against as I was there before several women who came in and was not helped. They are not clean when it comes to COVID we need to be very very on top of cleanliness at a time like this. Very rude, do not recommend ... read more

I was greeted promptly with a smile. A very clean facility and friendly staff all around. They did a great job and I will definitely come back. My nails look great too! read more

Went here for years. New people took over and quality went down severely. Argued with me about my daughters age (she's tall but still a kid) Kept asking me when I only had one child and the tech told me I was selfish to only have one child. (How is that appropriate or anyone else's business?) Was over charged and had to go line by line to get things corrected. read more

I live 30 min away from this salon, but keep going back to it. They are very kind, they seat you in a timely manor and they have lots to select from. When I get a full set it will last me 2 mo the with out any chips or breaks. They are fast at filling and making sure that you leave with the design, color and shape that you are happy with. They also are super kid friendly. When I go get my set I bro k my 3 and 4 year old daughters with me to get their nails painted. They use gel on their nails and the girls love it! It last then about 3 weeks, it would probably last longer but my girls start picking it off as their nails grow. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a set that won't ever pop off or break. And looking for a place that is very friendly and doesn't make you feel awkward as you sit there because they are very engaging in conversation with you read more

Great service and I much very appreciated their COVID safety protocols! I got a pedicure and shellac manicure and both look great. I chose this salon specifically for their COVID safety measures - they had check in with temperature checks at the door, masks required, plexiglass set up and distancing enforced, and hand washing. Being 39 weeks pregnant I particularly appreciated these measures given that it is no longer "required" for businesses in Texas. Will definitely go back! read more

Service is great! Prices are very fair. Don't sacrifice quality to save a few extra dollars-'come here. My manicure and pedicure lasted

I had such high hopes for this place. Great reviews, and the store is very clean. My sister and I came together for pedicures. We were put in seats and our feet in water, where we waited. After 45 minutes, they started on my sister. I'm still waiting. Meanwhile, more people have come in and are being worked on. After an hour I decided I was done and would not be getting a pedicure. A total waste of time on my part. Won't be coming back. read more

Waited for an hour but I was a walk in. I would recommend an appointment, other than that I got SNS nails and I absolutely love them! Will definitely be back! read more

Lovely salon, clean and nice decor. Lots of stations so no waiting. Tonight they took me just as they were closing and were so kind! Thanks for the great service ladies!!! read more

Van's Nail Salon - Nice salon. Very comfortable massage chairs. - Nail Salons Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Wow this place doesn't even deserve one star! I saw them using a sponge to clean the pedicure basins after my pedicure. They are too preoccupied with other customers coming in that my pedicure turned out terrible! My clipped my nails too short and now I'm in pain. I was then constantly reminding them to fix the nail polish on my skin, and I didn't get a top coat. When I told them about the top coat they argued and said they had already put it on. The worst. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else. read more

My favorite place for manis and pedis BY FAR. The staff are all so sweet and friendly and do the best job. I drive over 30 minutes and pass probably 30 nail salons just to come here. The salon is big and clean and bright. If you're looking for just a quality mani and pedi, this is the place. read more

Van's Nail Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Super friendly and attentive staff! They really took their time with the pedicure and I couldn't be happier!

I made an appointment for a mani/pedi and they did not start my pedicure for over 40 minutes. I had to cancel my manicure because of time it was taking. At the end, I pulled the owner/manage aside (he is the one who gave me my appointment time) and confronted him about the wait. He proceeded to say I was being unreasonable for expecting to get my pedicure started within 15 minutes of my appointment time. I explained I was extremely disappointed and felt he had been dishonest when I called ahead asking for a time that I could come in for an appointment. He took no responsibility and shifted the blame to his employees and me. I will not be returning. read more

Bad experience, horrible customer service, gel polish was terrible quality! Chopped and bubbled after 24 hours; came to get fixed but they refused to fix and had an atrocious attitude. As I was speaking to them, they ignored what I was saying to answer the phone rude on all levels and super expensive!!! $105 for mani and pedi. I asked for manager and owner information, they refused to release to me. Had to pay somewhere else to fix my nails :( read more

Not a good salon. One of those (bad) places that the workers work on time instead of quality. And customer service is embarrassing for them. My first time was really disappointing. read more
