Chelsea at YNB was recommended to me by a friend whose nails were always on point. I went to her for the first time for a gel-x set for my birthday and she did amazing work! She listened to what I wanted, gave suggestions, and worked meticulously on fine details and finishing to make my nails look amazing! When my wife and I were planning our wedding, I did not hesitate to book with her. We talked through the references I gave her and our vision. Our coordinating celestial nails looked so beautiful! For our wedding we also got pedicure services from other techs at YNB who are just as thorough and attentive with their services. The facility is clean, chill, and very modern without being pretentious. Their online booking service is easy to use, and I appreciate they offer multiple payment methods that put more money in the pockets of employees and less in the hands of credit card companies. Chelsea is now my go-to nail artist and YNB is my favorite nail salon! read more

Such a lovely experience! I was instantly greeted at the door, signed in for an appointment immediately! They asked if I wanted a beverage! I normally only get clear nail polish no matter what today I was helped step out of my comfort zone by an inch lol! I did gel nail polish in a neutral color, as I'm going to a graduation and I wanted something classy! read more

Very Nice place. I liked that the young lady that did my pedicure was very gentle with my cuticles. She understood me and listened to what I wanted to get done. I would definitely come back. And i also recommend this place. read more

I was looking forward to a good service and I was disappointed. To start off they cut the back of my heel during my pedicure and my nail technician for my manicure, Chelsea, left the salon to go home before my nails were done. She didn't do the top coat right. She claimed that she has not used/done the top coat in two years so she was not sure how it would go. I had to stay at the salon for another 30 minutes if not longer, while two male nail technicians came over and redid my whole top coat. they filed, drilled, and redid it, they were great. At the end, the front lady apologized for the mistake but no discount was given. I paid $100 to be cut and my nail service redone because my technician left before her client was even done. I had plenty of small things that happened as well. I am very disappointed. Do not go here! read more

Mimi will always be my savior when it comes to my nails! She took her time which I always appreciate and i love the way is able to have me check on my nails to make sure it looks good :,) love her read more

I've been going here for over a year. Always happy with pedicures. All technicians are so careful to remove callouses and clean nails. It would be great if the music was more relaxing. It was a bit loud and agitating. My pedicures are a rare time to relax. read more

My first visit to Your Nails Bestfriend was wonderful! I was referred to the salon by my niece and I'm so happy she did. She also recommended me to have BIAB (Builder in A Bottle) service done. This service is a gel polish that is applied as an overlay on your natural nails. Making an appointment was easy peasy. You can go to their website and make an appointment, text, or call. I opted to make the appointment online. They will text & call to confirm your appointment. I live a bit far from the salon, but it is definitely closer from my job. I think next time I will make an appointment after work on the weekday. I arrived on Sunday, the salon just open so there was not a lot of traffic going in and out. What I love about this salon was it was quiet; the salon is much smaller than the franchise nail salons. The salon played soft melody music and offered complimentary beverages. My nail tech was very professional while working on my nails. I asked questions about BIAB before getting started since it was my first time with the service and my first time at the salon. I wanted to wait a week or two before writing this review to see if my nails are intact. My nails are still looking fresh and are still shiny from being a little over a week old. Everyone seems friendly and worked together as a team when a hiccup occurred. I highly recommend this nail salon to everyone who is debating to make an appointment or not. You will not regret it. Asks questions when you are unsure of their services, they are open to hear your questions and concerns. read more

I would like to clarify that I was not offered a service redo at the moment when I expressed, I was not happy The man handed me a five dollar coupon for my next visit. I am not a liar. I'm telling you the technician didn't even put a base coat on my nails. I was forced to change my design due to the time constraints. After two hours, I was still simply left with a basic half done set. I have not publicly accused you of anything. I simply left a comment to reach out to me on your Instagram. Therefore, you decided that was inappropriate of me and blocked me. I have called your business and yo have blocked me as well the phone. I paid for a service that was not well executed regardless of my expectations. Yes, I am particular, but I am also not looking for a fancy set. Therefore, after two hours, my nails should be perfect. You did not provide a full service by not doing a base coat and fully curing my nails so fixing one nail would not fix my problem. I find it extremely unprofessional of how you did not even speak to me on the phone and after several calls. I was the one who was disrespected by Julie. Technicians aren't perfect. Julie even stated Stephen takes a long time. Therefore, his timing should be reflected when booking your website which I did. I did not walk in. I booked an appointment. If you want to be defensive and excuse your poor business practices, that's on you, but I have a right. To get what I paid for and not providing a base coat is not a full service Choosing to attack me says more about you and how you decide to handle complaints then about me I created an account because of how bad my service was. This was my second visit. My first visit with Chelsea was amazing! I had a recommendation to come and my first visit was so good, I came back. Chelsea was not available but so I was booked with Steven. When you make the appointment, you specify exactly what you need, I needed a gel builder refill, cuticle trim and 30 minute design. I showed Steven I wanted a red French. The service was supposed to be 1.5 hours for everything. At 1.5 hours, my nails weren't even remotely done let alone a design. I told him I did not have time for French since I was already running behind. So I didn't get a base coat and a quick nail polish job. I was in the chair for 2 hours. The tech knew I wasn't happy. The male receptionist asked how everything was and I told him I wasn't happy. He didn't care. He didn't apologize nor offer to fix. I called the next day and spoke to Julie. Wow, she's miserable, her voice was monotone and uninterested. I told her my experience, I told her I wanted to speak to either the owner or manager. He's "not available". Julie called me back. Said I could come in to fix the "one nail". I said. You want me to drive 40 mins to fix 1 nail when I didn't get anything I had requested? She said there was nothing else she could do. I asked again for the manager and still " unable to get a hold of". I waited all day for a call and around 6 pm I called back. The manager was "with another client". I messaged their IG and left a comment. Who ever manages it, deleted my comment and blocked me from their profile. So now I am being ignored. I have NEVER had a business treat me so disposable. I would have given them another shot but their lack of customer service and pettiness of blocking me after leaving a comment to contact me says enough about them. Do your self a favor and don't even bother coming here. If you aren't happy with them, even if it's their fault, they will block you and not call you back. No wonder there wasn't anyone there on a Sunday. Stay away. read more

Not your nails best friend at all. I wish I could say differently since they are my neighborhood nail salon. I've been coming for years here not because of quality but because of convenience. I have to say it's not convenient anymore. They never ever have enough technicians. This is the small place you walk into and see multiple empty stations. Many empty chairs. Not even full and they say they don't have a spot for you. Then hire more technicians!!!!! Bad bad bad rude customer service. read more

Came here for the first time, and the place is so clean and cute! Was looking for a place to do cat eye design nails and found them through IG, and made an appointment with Ethan (@nailsby_ethan) for Gel-X nails. I chose this light pink almost translucent shade and it is GORGEOUS!! I can't stop looking at it when I came out of the salon. Ethan was very attentive, and my cuticles were so clean, and made sure that I was okay with everything throughout the process. It was my first time trying gel-x nails, and now I might just be a regular here from now on. FYI- they have a credit card surcharge now of 3%, but they do offer Zelle/Venmo payment!

I was looking for a new nail salon that does Gel X and so happy I stumbled onto this one! I've driven by it a million times and never stopped by. They have online booking and are super communicative/take the appointment times seriously. Theres so much parking (it's also by a Starbucks) and the space is really cute and clean. Harry did my Gel X and it was literally the best, most careful, and detailed application I've ever had. He double checked with me on the color after the first swipe which I love because I will not speak up otherwise lol. I also love that they're really transparent about pricing like every step of the way, I heard techs double checking add ons with customers nearby too! I will definitely be moving to this salon! read more

Today was my first time here. I made my appointment from their website, it was super easy. I appreciate that they sent me a text to clarify my appointment time! That alone made me feel comfortable coming here. Everyone was very nice a greeted me upon arrival. The check in process was simple (at least for me having a appointment). They have the Christmas vibes vibing!! When I sat with the lovely Mimi. I let her know I wanted to take off my acrylic nails and switch to dip, but was interested in builder gel also. She took her time and gave me the pros & cons of both dip & builder. Now I'm a simple nail girl, I want my shape right & a color that pops with my skin tone. I asked for short Christmas red nails. I showed Mimi my simple inspo pick & Mimi matched it perfectly! I absolutely LOVE my nails (builder gel w/ shellac polish) Mimi did an outstanding job! Mimi has a returning customer with me! read more

Stopped by for the first time with my sister and both our techs were kind and neither of them cut us! This is the biggest fear and unsettling thought when getting your nails done, so walking out with no cuts and cute nails is a great feeling! Thanks guys! Definitely will come back to try new nail styles! read more

Lynn was so kind and helpful! I needed to get my nails done for a special event and she helped me narrow down my choices with ease.

Don't fall for everything you see on Instagram! While the advertising is great, the actual services were underwhelming. If you blink twice, the next thing you know, they're charging you 10 dollars here, 5 dollars there. The next thing you know, your bill is excessive. I can't stand a nickle and diming nail shop. I don't mind paying, but PLEASE let it be worth it. This was not worth it. I'm sorry ladies, save your coins. Trust me on this one. read more

Great customer service- it was really easy to schedule online. I showed them a picture of what I wanted and they recreated it perfectly! I love that they color match for you and everything is very reasonably priced. I went to Ethan he was great, friendly and did a solid job. Will be returning! I definitely recommend this place, so glad I found it. I had been looking for a place that can do designs well without charging an arm and a leg! Finally found one. read more

Your Nails Bestfriend Studio - My first time trying gel Nails by Tee. - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

When booking my appointment, I saw on the services listed they offered BUILDER GEL. I usually do dip but my nails were so fragile from it, I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to try builder gel to help my nails get stronger especially because I've heard of it multiple times before but could never find a nail salon that offers it! It's usually just gel x or dip/acrylic and my nails can't handle it anymore. I booked the service with Ethan and omg even just the manicure before the builder gel was applied was exquisite. I've never seen my cuticles look so clean and concise and trimmed WITH NO KNICKS OR CUTS! I didn't think my nails could be saved because they were already broken and uneven in length. I sealed the builder gel with shellac and my nails looked great! I'm definitely coming back for the builder gel service! read more

First time I came here I only got my hands done and it was great! However, I don't think I will return for pedicures. Both times I've gotten a pedicure from here my cuticles were cut and bleeding. The polish was not applied evenly and clean. I will probably come for manicures, but definitely not pedicures. P.S. they offer 10% off only on main services...not all services apply. read more

This was my first and last visit to this salon I came to get a builder gel refill and pedicure I asked for French which wasn't easy for her to do When she got them right I noticed how thick and lumpy the gel was By that time 3 hours had passed, I felt really bad so I asked for her to please thin them out and just paint them the base color to save time since it had taken so long First she asked me to leave and come back which I really didn't want to do , so I asked for no French just base color They were still so heavy and thick but by then I felt bad asking for them to be fixed again paid and left I came back the next day to have them fixed but the staff was so rude, I asked just to have them thinned not a full manicure they said no I had to make an appointment and kept changing the time First they said a 1 hour wait which I agreed to then they changed it to "some time tomorrow" It was very obvious the owner did not want to fix them at all I was able to get them fixed WITH a perfect French in 20 minutes at the salon next door If your expectations are nails done properly in a timely manner with great customer service you won't find it here I wouldn't recommend this salon read more

Editing a third and final time and changing it one star review. I came into salon today 5 days after my initial service to get my nail fixed as the gel polish started peeling already. As I was leaving the lady who works the front desk stopped me and literally told me bc of the review I left I was not welcome back LMAO I was never going to give this business another dollar regardless but the audacity to say that to a customer who's been nothing but loyal to this salon since moving here is quite insane to me. She then tried to be passive aggressive with me and said "our technicians are clearly not good enough for you" as if I'm in the wrong for wanting my nails that I pay $100 for after tipping to look good. Fuck this salon. EDITING TO REPLY TO OWNER - as I mentioned in my review I have been going to the salon since November and receiving the same service same nail shape same design every single time. Yesterday was the first time I was ever charged for FILING. It is part of the job to file a nail. I did not request a coffin nor an almond. I have a wide nail bed and like my tips to fit my nail bed and not be super wide. The nail tip that is glued to the nail is already quite tapered. I have never once been charged for a square shape. Never received an email or text or call or notice of any change in charges as you try to mislead in your response. I've posted two photos. The one with gray shirt is how my nails have always come out. The nails on right are what I left the salon with yesterday. They're not tapered at all. They're SQUARE. I moved to the Houston area late October and I first came to visit this nail salon early November and initially I just got a pedicure. I was pleased with the service so I then made an appointment to come in to get a full set. I probably have come to this nail salon for maybe five times to get a refill since November today. I decided that it was time for a fresh set. It was long overdue so I requested a removal and I got the exact same nails that I have been getting since November, which is a tapered square French tip, they already charged $25 on top of their $50 full set just for the French alone OK cool no complaints I've always paid $75 for my nails whether it be a fresh set or a new set today I knew I would be charged an extra five dollars Because of the removal but caught me off guard and has completely turned me off at this point now is that I just got charged a five dollar fee for a "special shape" on my nail. Let me remind you that I got a square tip glued on my natural nail, and the amount of filing that the nail tech did was minimal because I did not request a coffin. I requested a tapered square Which to be frank my nails look very square in my opinion they don't even look tapered. They're the most square that I've had since coming here I have never once been charged a five dollar additional fee for filing I could understand if I was getting almond again. I could understand if I was getting coffin but to charge me five dollars to shape a tip which is what should already be done I think is excessive and unnecessary. the woman who was checking me out could tell that I was not pleased about that extra five dollars because I have never once paid that for the shape that I have been getting since November And I saw her talking to what might be the manager. I'm not sure who he is and they still charged me the five dollars I have frequented and only gone to this nail salon since moving to Houston but I will now be looking for a new nail salon because for me it's just the principal. If you're going to be adding fees that have never been paid, you should at the very least let the customer know. read more

I had been visiting this salon for over a year since I followed Jack (co-owner) from Gloss salon. I was happy to support his new entrepreneurial endeavor. The last time I went for a pedicure I had a very unfortunate experience. I had booked with Tee but for whatever reason they had me scheduled with another tech. I thought against allowing anyone else to perform the services but decided to move forward. I was badly cut by the technician that serviced me.(see photo). I understand that things happen, but I have never seen anyone bleed this bad from a pedicure service. I asked for Jack, the manager, and they acted like it wasn't a big deal. I obviously couldn't continue to have my toe nails painted considering how bad I was bleeding, so they gave me a bandaid and sent me on my way, saying I could come back another day to finish. They took a very lax attitude, unfortunately. I sat in my car outside the salon and tried to wipe away the bleeding, which was getting worse. It got so bad that I went back in the salon and showed them. Only then did they offer me a wound cream and told me the service would be at no charge. I came back to the salon today and chose a service that was $30 higher. Should be the least they would do considering the blood was pouring from my toe because of one of their employees right? Apparently not. Ethan (another manager) told me I could not choose a higher service, which was very disappointing. Again, I've been a very regular customer and followed the owners from a very nice and popular salon (Gloss), trying to support a small business. As you can imagine, I will never return to this salon due to their disappointing response to this situation. read more

The business is small but they get the work done! I had just got off my flight and needed an immediate service for my nails. I was able to get an immediate response and upon arrival I was told to check in on the tablet first; okay! I had my pedi with Harry and he did a good job: Tee was kind and thorough on my acrylic/mani which turned out great. They do offer beverages, the place is clean and opening. Unfortunately, when I got back to my Airbnb my basic French polish on my toes seemed to have not dried thoroughly because when I took my shoes off some polish was missing, no biggie. The service was great, will definitely stop by whenever I come back to Houston! read more
