    Before: 5 hours before procedure, during my flight to Van's Nail Salon
    Johnny O.

    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.

    Unbelievable! !

    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

    The word is all coming off this is just walking out

    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

    Nails weren't even filed properly.

    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!

    Acrylics side view

    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.

    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!

    What a beautiful Nail Salon! The place was clean, and had the most amazing massage chairs I have…read moreever seen. The price was typical I believe I paid $70 for a lavender gel pedicure. My technician Don was polite, worked at a good pace and gave a wonderful calf massage. The drinks were delicious and staff was super friendly especially to my little girl who had to tag along. Although I don't live on this side of town, I will be back when I need a pick me up! Thank you Verona!

    This is my first time visiting this nail salon and they are truly a luxury nail bar!…read more I love the layout of the salon and they were servicing a lot of customers at the same time. They have the manicures in the middle and the pedicure and other services on the side of the room. They also have a mini bar in the back of the room! They give you 1 free drink for your service! These drinks can be sodas, coffee, alcoholic drinks, or hot chocolate! I think that was my favorite part of the service haha My nail tech Erin was really nice and so talented!!! I haven't got my nails done in years and I wanted to do something special for lunar new years. I gave him a few inspo pics and described what I wanted, I didn't have a strict preference on the design so I let him choose. He gave me something even better than my inspo pics! He was so precise and careful in the design and it was so fascinating watching him work! I got gelx and the cateye polish. I also notice that the staff really work together and help eachother out. It was nice to see everyone so kind to eachother. They were also really kind to me and made sure I was comfortable. Overall, I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE my nails!! They are so gorgeous I can't stop looking at my nails!

I politely said no and asked for something short and simple. His demeanor immediately changed--he lost the smile and rushed through my nails. The results were uneven, with each nail noticeably a different length. I didn't realize a square shape could be so difficult to get right. Still, I left a tip and went on my way. Unfortunately, one of my nails popped off the very next day. I returned to get it fixed and was greeted again by the same tech--friendly at first--but he was busy giving a pedicure in the back. A different tech at the front asked what I needed. I explained I was there to get a nail fixed but didn't know the name of the person who originally did them. She asked if it was "the guy in the back," and I said yes--only because I had just seen the same man at the pedicure station. I now realize she may have meant someone else from the back of the nail area. Then, a different male tech came over, glanced at my nails, and started speaking to another technician in his native language. I clearly heard him say "the guy in the back" while they laughed together--it felt like they were making fun of the situation, which was uncomfortable. They had me sit at a station for a long time. The tech whose station it was kept checking on me but never started the service. He kept pretending he had forgotten something in the back and left several times. I was on the verge of walking out just to avoid making a scene. Eventually, the original tech returned and reluctantly started working on my nails. He forced a friendly tone, rushed through the repair again, and walked off as soon as I was under the lamp. Once my nails were dry, I had to get up, walk across the salon, thank him myself, and then I left. This was not the experience I expected based on the good things I had heard. Sadly, I won't be returning.
