BLISS NAIL BAR - georgetown - Georgetown (TX)

5 /5 Kcs S: This is probably the 6 or 7th consecutive set of GelX nails Van has done for me. I love her work and shaping. I have never had a single nail pop off. I am pretty hard on my hands. I usually come once a month to a month and a half to get them filled. I always love my new set. Thank you Van.

1 /5 Maegan Harless: I have been going to Bliss for a few years now. I took a break when my tech went on vacation as I hadnt given my nails a break for nearly a year. It took a long time for them to recover and I had done them myself at home in healthier ways than acrylics etc. This week is my birthday so I went back to my nail tech and got gel x done. Unfortunately, my experience was far from what it was in the past. She had to redo 3 of my nails more than twice due to shortening them with a regular nail cutter instead of a round one which made the nail split up the middle. Meaning she had to soak and drill them off multiple times on the same 3 nails. One nail she did three times and it still isnt on my finger correctly. The nail done 3x is still not covering the side of my nail, it is lifted. My cuticles were not pushed back and the gel x nail was put over the cuticle themselves. The amount of glue under the nails on my skin in genuine CLUMPS is insane. I was told "it will help keep the nail and your real nail attached" - except it isnt on my real nail, its on the gel x nail and my skin which can cause contact dermatitis. I asked many times for her to get it off my skin and she did a little but not much. The shape is not consistent. They look as though Ive put press-ons on my nails as they are so high up on my nail bed. They were so sore last night and red... I went to bed only to wake up to swollen, angry, painful throbbing pain. I go on a trip this weekend for my birthday and do not have time to go back in to get them fixed. Im going to have to soak them off at home and spend my birthday trip without my nails done and now extremely short as she cut them all way down (another reason the glue isnt even on my real nail). I gave Bliss the opportunity to refund me for my $65 service that took an hour and a half because she had to redo so many nails so times so many times and they said no refunds. I tipped 15% and even asked them to keep that but due to not being able to keep the nails on I dont think its fair they keep the service fee for a service I cant have/appreciate. They did offer to redo them, but even if I had the time to go back in, who would want to give that another chance after this experience? I have recommended this salon to so many people over the years and always raved about my tech. The lack of care and lack of ability to take ownership that its a bad job is genuinely so off-putting. I sent them photos that I am attaching below and they only made a comment on how they are unable to see any swelling but do not address anything else. They also told me that this is completely normal as I have not had my nails done in a while??? I am now forced to leave this negative review - which I hate doing - and work with my credit card company to be issued a refund.

5 /5 Ruth Clark: We just moved to Georgetown last year, and this has been the best nail salon we’ve found here. It’s always a great experience! Even though it’s always busy (rightfully so), they are quick to accommodate people. Adding my latest dip set! It’s exactly what I wanted. The girls are super detailed and don’t rush at all!

2 /5 courtney saad: I popped in this nail salon on my way home from work because it was on my route but I had never been here before. Let me say the 2 stars are for how nice and polite everyone was while I was there and because unlike the place I typically go to which is always slammed they are slow. Several things went wrong. They gave me the free complimentary drink of hot tea however the glass still had the person before me lipstick on the cup, disgusting. The nail tech tried not once, twice, three times but four times to up sale me on a special rhinestone on my ring finger. I politely refused three times before the last time I said I’m a nurse I can’t have that on my nail. The lack of attention to detail in there. Not with just my personal nail tech but perhaps everyone, when she started to dip my nails the color had the right number NU117 on the lid, but the base powder was NU105 so someone else had put back the wrong lid to container. She had to take off what she had put on, find the right dip bottom, and start over. Then she convinced me to do my ring fingers a glitter color but when she started the dip she forget and had to redo my ring fingers from the color to the glitter. Fast forward to the next morning when I woke up my right pointer and middle finger had already cracked and chipped. I didn’t take a picture of that sadly just the fix job they did. I will say I went back and she fixed the two fingers that had chipped but just blamed it on the powder and said ‘idk why I didn’t just do three coats’ and then when she tried to clip off the excess dip from my finger pinched my finger and apologized. All in all I’d rather wait at the other place than go back here again. Oh also it’s the same price $62 with tip as the other nail salon in town where I’ve never dealt with any of this. Update it chipped again probably because they only patched the chipping originally and didn’t redo the entire nail.

5 /5 Paige McDaniel: Staff is so so kind and put forth their best work. They were able to squeeze me in even close to closing time but they didn’t rush. I enjoyed spending time there not even for just my nails but the staff rocks. I got a gel x manicure and a pedi - beautiful !
