Top Reviews about 19 Nail Salons in Austin, TX

Destiny Dawn Farish I’ve been getting my nails done since I was 12 and these are the best nails I’ve ever had !!!! Kelly was wonderful she was quick but still detailed!

Julie Chen Really really bad. I came here for a full set of Acrylic nails and I wanted a certain two colors which they later on after applying all the acrylic stuff and gel base coat, told me that the color was only for dip which they could’ve specified earlier. Then, when the lady was buffing my nail with the drill she took off my skin which hurt like a mf. And then on top of all that, my nails didn’t even come out good they’re crooked, the polish isn’t even covering the whole nail, the top coat isn’t covering the whole nail. I’m going to redo it myself. I personally don’t recommend for nails. Other services, i don’t know. Good luck.

Lorissa McCoy I had a gift card for this place so I went in and ask for a manicure and pedicure plus brows. I went 5 days ago. My toe on 1 foot is now infected. Im not sure if its because of the cut she did or dirty tools or what but I left in a lot of foot pain. I ask to leave kind of fast she looked at me like she wasnt done with my feet but it hurt so bad I just wanted to end the service immediately. I didnt get the set I ask for and showed a picture of and they did the set then when I showed they didnt match the picture at all they then told me they couldnt change it. My eye brows look the same as when I went in as well and I have broken out a little bit around my brows, that could have been that she basically just put the wax on skin then ripped off Im not sure. Please save your money and time and go somewhere else. Even if I received another gift card for this place I would not return. I would post pictures but Im not sure how to do that in a review.

Juliet Clark Don’t believe the hype! I’m giving 2 stars because the people were nice and the service was cheap. But the quality is lacking. First, they either pulled the wrong color or their example is not the same as what they use. That was unfortunate but the deal breaker is the quality. They did not smooth the nails. They are bumpy where the tip was added. Many of the nails are pinched in the sides. AND they didn’t match the lengths of each hand so the length of my left hand is significantly longer. I came here because people raved on Reddit but it should give pause they don’t have many reviews for the # of years they’ve been in business.

Dats Rite Customer service good. Prices are right! May take a tad while the staff warm up to you, but if youre a reg, you get good svs. They should update their reg OPI colors though. They already have GADS of gel colors!

Jessica Morales seriously love her work shes so sweet and my nails last me weeks! she def specializes in designs and french tips would recommend 10/10

Allie Mae Overman soooo happy with my set!! angel’s set up is so welcoming and comfy. sweet girl with amazing conversation. everything was clean and professional. 100% recommend i’ve never had a set so perfect for me, i can’t wait to keep coming!

Ivana Flores Angel is amazing, I’ve gone back to her several times already and plan to continue using her services! She provides a cute, comfy and clean space and always puts her clients needs first! Her work is by far the best! Unlike other nail techs she’s very cautious and gentle with your nails but still swift! She’s a also a french tip specialist! Her lines are crisp and clean! ✨

Rachel Savell Quality service, the friendliest staff I’ve ever experienced, and not to mention the beautiful hand painted nail art my technician meticulously applied with the precision of a surgeon. I want to say her name was Katie and she was by far the sweetest nail tech I’ve had the pleasure of meeting! This will definitely be my go to place from now on.

Kayla Ysasi Today was a doozy, some tears were shed. I had TWO manicures done in one day. The first manicure was a major flop. I ended up getting my nails fixed within hours. The sweetest lady named Joyce revived my nails. She was so understanding about my bad experience at another salon. She took her time to help me find the best way to go about fixing my nails. Please go here if you want quality service. I am going to add before photos (blue nails that were thick and poorly done) to my current nails that Joyce did. Again, thank you so much Joyce for helping me out today and giving me a beautiful set! Also sorry for crying. Fresh set that Joyce did will be the coral colored nails. Absolutely love them.

Jake and Shaya Snyder Ken and Katie always do such a fabulous job! Loving my most recent Disney inspired nails. ETA: just going to keep adding photos as I get special nails done.

Sharon Islas I have been coming to this salon for a few months nos and not once have I walked out not liking my nails, I always get dip powder and love that have so many colors to pick from!

Wendy Martinez I enjoy going here because everyone is so nice and welcoming. I’m always asked what I wanna drink and they put in their time to make sure the experience is great. I love my nails! Price is good compared to other places. I got a refill almond shape on my nails and got a classic pedi with gel for $95:)

Alejandra Alcala They welcomed me in, gave me a nice brochure and after I found what I wanted (foot pedi) I was seated. It looked good inside and smelled wonderful! The services were impeccable and they offered me so many beverages (which i indulged in a mimosa or 2 lol). After getting my pedi, I decided to last minute do a manicure and they didnt hesitate to service me, which I thanked them immensely! I now have a beautifully well done mani and pedi!! 10/10 would recommend and would come back! The employees are so funny and kind and always attentive ❤️

John Schocken Ive been coming here for several years for mani-pedi with Dan. I am always treated well and they are all very kind people. Jackie is always so sweet and they know who I am and feel welcomed like a friend. They have also been doing nails for my mom and other family members, and we are always happy with the result. I would recommend them to anyone in the area who needs nail services because I know they will treat you well.

Laurence Paquet I LOVE this place. All of them are really friendly and respectful. They don’t rush, they take their time to take care of each their clients. Helen is so nice and really meticulous. She does an amazing job with my manicure and pedicure every single time! I highly recommend S&S Nails & Spa!

Mari Schwanke I’ve been coming to Jacqueline and Dan for over 4 years and now I bring my 92 year old mom also when I come in. They are always so friendly and kind to us and are like family! The salon is clean with lots of choices for colors and nail services. We personally get dipping powder for our manicures, which is much easier on the nails than gel. We do gel for our pedicures. The color lasts and nothing ever “pops off”. We come in every 2 to 3 weeks. Highly recommend!

Sarah W Clean and a huge selection of colors offered so youre sure to get what you want! Theyre quick but give you quality work. Suni was fantastic and helped me design exactly what I wanted!

Seli W My 2nd time and I tried 2 people. Both were exceptional! Anna was my first nail tech. Asked for a matte base with shiny tips. Wish I took a picture because it was exactly like the picture I showed her (attached). Kevin was my 2nd experience and I did another challenge…a chrome ombré on top of a color. Amazing!!!

Taylor Gomes E’Shee has been my go-to nail spa since moving to Austin in 2022. To start, front desk employees have always been welcoming and helpful, plus I’ve never had to wait longer than a few minutes to sit down for my service, just enough time to pick my colors. They routinely offer refreshments, and the nail techs are friendly and so helpful. Kelly in particular is amazing! She’s done my nails quite a few times, and each time she has gone above and beyond my expectations. I get so many compliments wherever I go after I’ve seen her. She communicates how she’ll execute my ideas before beginning, offers good insight and recommendations when needed, and just overall makes sure I’m happy with everything every step of the way. Love this place!

Kate Len OBSESSED is an understatement! This place is the real deal. Everyone that works here is the bomb. Maria and Amy are my favs for the nail services I like: acrylic + gel, and Michael is my fav for pedicures; however, I trust all the techs there to do a great job. I visit every couple of weeks for years now and they never disappoint. Great prices too. Thanks Austin Regalia!

Alex Garcia *EDIT* been 2 weeks now and my nails have held up perfectly. Got my first set here a week ago and couldnt be happier! No price surprises, beautiful atmosphere, just so accommodating. My nail tech was gentle and the nails look so sleek. Go here!

Kerri Battles I brought my mom here for two pedicures and my mom also got a polish only manicure. First off this place is posh as nail salons go. It has a real lux feel. The decor is really nice and they have tons of high end new manicure chairs. They go the extra step in terms of having essential oil diffusers going and nice music. The pedicures were well worth the cost and the care they took with my polish was above and beyond what I’ve had at other places in South Austin. The bathrooms are clean and nice, very pleasant. Their polish selection is out of this world. I think they had nearly 20 types of yellow for instance. They were so nice and patient with my older mother. I will for sure be coming back.

Betty Chen 4.5 stars. Overall happy with nails. They removed a poorly done gel x nail from another salon and gave me hybrid gel instead. It looks a lot more natural. There are a few imperfections - fluff stuck in between layers of gel polish and a few bubbles. Im sure if I noticed during appointment they would have fixed but I only noticed when I got home. Would come back for my infills and get the imperfections fixed.

Antoinette Perry I had such a lovely experience at triangle nails spa! Ivy did my nails and did a fabulous job. She made sure each step was to my liking (the length of the gel extension, the color, the shape) prior to completing the other steps. They turned out great! I am very pleased. The prices are reasonable too :) i highly recommend! I don’t live here full time, but when I am out here I will be coming back!

Mia Rivera I have been coming here for three years, and I absolutely love it! Even though it’s a 45-minute commute, I don’t mind making the drive to receive their excellent service. I often invite friends to join me for a pedicure or manicure. I especially love getting my nails done with Vivian! She always does amazing work with nail designs and polishes using the Hybrid Gel. The hybrid gel has made my nails strong, long, and healthy!

Deanna Logan I have had my nails done on numerous occasions but always requested dip, acrylic, or gel polish. This time she asked if I wanted to try the zen nail builder. There are multiple natural looking colors to choose from or you can get clear and paint over it. My color is milky white with a rose gold glitter polish. It did not take as long as acrylic would. Give nail builder a try!

Laura Perez I can’t say enough good things about Sandy and her amazing team! Not only are her prices incredibly reasonable, but the quality of her work is outstanding. Sandy is so thoughtful and kind, always making you feel valued and cared for. One of the highlights of her dedication is the Thanksgiving lunch she throws for all her customers every year and it’s such a special gesture, and the delicious Vietnamese food is unforgettable! The other two employees are just as wonderful attentive, kind, and always ensuring an exceptional experience. The overall service here is unmatched. If you’re looking for a nail salon that truly goes above and beyond, Sandy’s is the place to go!

Lisa Franco Sandy’s nails is the only place in south Austin I trust in for my manicure and pedicures. I’m always very happy with the outcome. My pedicures are pain free and leg massage are amazing. I’m a returning customer for over 3 years.

Maddy Franco I was wanting to try out a new nail place and I came across this one. With all the good reviews I was excited to try it out this place definitely exceeded my expectations and I will definitely come back. They had great service and the prices were very reasonable!!

Marin Solace I got the deluxe mani and it was lovely. My nails turned out great, the hand massage was great and long. I would def come back here. Everyone was really nice ❤️

Blaire Benoit Update: Reply is definitely a LIE. She never once said she couldnt achieve the look. She was too busy answering phones, paying attention to customers walking in and not paying attention to my nails. I will be there TOMORROW! Scheduled a new full set, polish change on my feet and eyebrows. The nails were ridiculous! I asked for coffin shape, but i hate them. Cancelled all other services. The lady that did my nails did what she wanted to do.

victoria almogabar I have gotten a few manicures by Dylana so far and I’ve never been happier! My husband notices and compliments every time which should tell you something! She is very knowledgeable on nail care and extremely gentle. Obsessed is an understatement.

Haiti Design Collective I had the best experience at Mèo Nails! The space is gorgeous and Dylana is crazy talented. She can take any idea or inspiration that you have and bring it to life on your nails, plus she makes the experience fun and chill vibes. Highly recommend booking with her!

Cristi Cruz I have been going to Dylana for a couple years now and can’t recommend her enough! The focus on natural nail health has greatly improved my nails, I hesitate to even try other places anymore. Her new studio is clean and spa-like, I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. She is easy to communicate with, she’s also well-versed in the products and services she provides. I never have to worry about how my nails will turn out. I prefer the one-on-one, calm and high quality experience to your other run-of-the-mill nail salons. Going to Dylana at Mèo Nail Studio is like visiting with your friend who also will make your nails look fabulous!

Brooke Blomquist Amazing experience! I was greeted with a menu for nail/spa services and drink menu. Super great pricing. Best pedicure I’ve ever had. Every time I come back to Austin I will come back to this nail salon. Service, cleanliness and technique are top notch.

Reneé Taylor I came in to see about getting my eyebrows waxed since I’m going out of town. The asians there hardly speak any English and always have some family member running the front. The young lady w/ glasses who I spoke with asked the reason for my visit and she tells the other asian lady. I then speak to middle aged asian lady and she basically tells me to come back next week because “we have a really good eyebrow lady.” I explain to her that I’m not coming back and that I’m going out of town. I usually do not come to this location but I was on lunch break and thought it would be okay given that I’ve been here before without any issues as a walk-in. Also, there is a big walk-in sign on their front door. Usually when I come here, the customer service and care seems off. They also want you to tip in cash and check only which is laughable. Get with the times and take your walk-ins welcome sign off if you are not able to do services. I do not recommend anyone coming here.

Sabrina’s American Girl Channel Loved the way my nails turned out and the service was awesome. My nail tech was Tammy and she was so nice and worked so hard while trying to make my nails look good. I’m in love with them. Definitely recommend coming here.

Lauren Galea WOW! I have had my nails done at high end salons in LA, NY, and Paris and no one has ever blown me away the way I was blow away here. Alex and Lee gave me the best manicure and pedicure of my life. They listened and delivered exactly what I wanted with incredible attention to detail. True masters of their craft for extremely reasonable prices. So happy to have a new nails salon I’d swear by in Austin. Can’t wait to come back.

Amelia Vick This is the place to go! Ive been coming here for over a year for a dipped manicure and Ive never left disappointed. Ive had my nails done by Jasmine, Moon and Alex and truly its been amazing every time. Sometimes I get just one color and other times Ill get a fun design, regardless this has been my favorite place. I dont have to come back because the paint chipped or something didnt look right. Everyone is really friendly too!

Rachel Behnke Each time I’ve visited Galleria Nails, I’ve been really pleased. They take their time and want to make sure you’re happy. They pay attention to what is healthiest for your nails. I do builder gel and they are able to keep it really thin. Highly recommend!

Chandler Bartlett I called when they opened to make an appointment because it was my birthday and I wanted to make sure I got my nails done before my dinner. They gave me a super late appointment time, 330, and when I showed up every single chair was taken. I waited an hour and ten minutes for a gel manicure, I didn’t even have any polish or gel on to take off. I know nail salons give vague appointment times, but over an hour was insane. At the end of my gel, it was empty and three people were sleeping in the chairs. On top of it, worst gel I’ve ever gotten

shelbi lawrence Great service every time! The massages are fantastic and the color options are endless! The price is unbeatable, I won’t go anywhere else.

Erin Very welcoming and great service! They are also one of the best priced salons in the area. My friend and I came in on a Friday morning, despite already having quite a few customers, they were able to seat us next to each other and do our nails at the same time. We were both very happy with our manicures!

Lorena Jauregui Bernal Jimmy did a fantastic job! I walked in with this image and he nailed it! I love my nails. I will definitely be coming back. The fact that they do gel x is a huge plus.

Zeinab Haji I usually don’t like getting my nails done. But this place was amazing. Excellent customer service and they did exactly what I wanted. I ask for simple and that’s exactly what I got. On top of that, I got massages on my hand massage on my feet. I highly recommend Modern Nails 100%. Come visit and see what I’m talking about.

j elkins Ann and Jimmy did a wonderful job. The photos dont do it justice. First time here and definitely recommend!

Trey Wiley Dané is the best!! I gave her this inspo pic and this is the results. I’m a dude and just started to get my nails done again & it’s the coolest thing. 10 stars

brygette geiger first time here today and these ladies were AMAZING. Tina gave me probably one of the best french tip pedicures i’ve ever had. Danë did my acrylics and her attention to detail is not something you see often and they came out perfect. Will definitely be going here from now on

Jennifer Berrong Dané is amazing! She is incredibly talented and always helps me choose the perfect color when Im indecisive—which is often. She’s very patient and takes the time to pause between deciding on nail length, shape, and color to ensure Im happy before moving on. This is especially helpful for someone like me who finds it hard to ask for changes during an appointment.

Jamie Beltran They were very nice and they make you feel very welcome, my nail tech was very sweet and very patient, she did such an amazing job , very clean I definitely will be coming back

Denise Horton I will never give Lilly my money again the ladies that did my nails an toes was not experienced at all its the next day an my nails are already chipped this is the reason my daughter turn me on to press on nails tired of waisting money to these Chinese an the owner was very rude because I didnt get a full set

lisa duran We love coming to see Lily. Every experience has been top notch. From prices to customer service. The shop is clean the colors and choices are endless. We pass a lot of other nail salons to get here and its so worth it! You wont be disappointed.

Kelsey Rodriguez I’m extremely disappointed with the service at this salon and will not be returning. After getting my nails done, four of them chipped and the gel started peeling off the same day. I had to waste my time and gas coming back to get them fixed, and this is how they look after the second visit—absolutely terrible. They were supposed to fix them, but I didn’t even receive an apology. Instead, I was told that they weren’t dry the first time and that my hand wasn’t in the light…(it was) that was but that was their explanation. This is not how nails should look fresh out of the salon. I can’t wait for them to grow out so I can get a new set somewhere else that’s actually worth the money. They look awful, and for the price I paid, this kind of service is unacceptable. I’ve attached a picture to show just how bad they turned out the SECOND time. (Scratched, dull, no shine of the ones at the end) I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Nova Segreti This is the only nail salon I will go to in Austin. The prices are extremely reasonable and they do such a good job!!! Request my girl Huong or her husband Thang (I think is how his name is spelled. Her design work is flawless and his nail shapes are always perfect. ✨

Jasmine Hernandez I’ve always done gel nails and my nails have never chipped before until coming here. I called if I could get them fixed and they said they only have warranty those first 7 days. I understand their policy, but even then gel nails should not be chipping as if it’s regular nail polish.
