At the corner of Frate Barker and FM1626, this nail salon is so good. They are very kind and do an impeccable job. The prices are reasonable too! I am attaching a photo of their business card here. Very relaxing pedicures and massages with my gel manicure feels great in my tired hands. If you are at the soccer fields on Frate Barker, you should come by during a break between games! Seriously overlooked because it is in a little shopping center. read more

Best spa experience ever! "Mimi" was the absolute sweetest and her team provided stellar care and attention to these hard working feet. I read all the reviews in the area prior to choosing this place for my pedicure and it was so worth it! The place is clean, people are so nice, conversation was great, and I left so relaxed and filled. My "pretty toes" are happy once again thanks to 1626 Nails & Spa! read more

I came in one morning for a pedicure, there was only one person already being helped and nobody else. The lady was super kind and called someone to come in early, I didn't wait longer than 10 minutes. I must have left around 10am and wore flip flops or no shoes until around 2pm. After I took my shoes off the polish was destroyed. It looked like when you do it at home and put way too much polish on so it cakes off/rubs off and has lines all over. I called to get it fixed and they said they would but I didn't have time before a trip. The guy also cut one of my nails weird and I know have a very painful ingrown toenail to deal with. read more

I love Mimi! This place is excellent. A surprise gem with excellent service. Call for an appointment

I took a lot of time to choose a manicure place because most have such mixed reviews with the bad ones highlighting serious concerns. As 1626 Nails & Spa had primarily glowing reviews, I thought I could trust it. I decided to try a dip manicure, which is quite an expense, but I didn't want my natural nails to break like they often do while I was traveling. So I carefully selected colors, but for some reason, Mimi, who I believe is the owner here, brought back different colors. They were similar enough in the pots that I didn't notice until my nails were done. She buffed my natural nails extensively with an electric file, presumably to rough them up to grab the products, but seems damaging and weakening to me. With this quick-whirring electric tool, she also cut open the skin under my finger, and it bled, but she did not comment or apologize. As it was hurting me, I pulled back and she just pulled my hand closer. A manicure doesn't look pretty with a bloody cut, which hurt for days. I'd read it's important for salons to have individual smaller containers of powder to dip each customer's nails into or the larger pots can become contaminated by bacteria, spreading infection. She dipped my fingers into the communal pot, including the one with the broken, bleeding skin just under the nail. Having customers wash hands before the manicure doesn't help much either because many folks don't wash hands effectively. When the manicure was complete, there were so many layers of product that it looked thick and bulbous, like the weight of it was pulling and shifting around my natural nails! After I paid her, she insulted something about my appearance and kept going on about it in order to try to get me to come in for another service at the salon. As if she could convince me how bad I looked, I would want to return to her to "fix" it, when I didn't even like my nails. The manicure is now off and my natural nails look horribly damaged and destroyed. This whole experience reminded me why I rarely visit nail salons and now I'm not likely to visit other ones either. read more

The friendliest service and best nail work. You can tell that they actually care about the work they're putting in and how their customers are taken care of. So grateful for this little spot right by my house! read more

My pedicure friend was out of town and I need a pedicure. Oh no, what's a girl to do?! I didn't want to go to our usual place since it was just me and it is a little drive from my house. I instead decided to pick a nail salon that is closer to my house. I called 1626 Nails before I showed up and secured an appointment. It is advisable during their busy times to get an appointment but this cold wet Saturday afternoon was not one of them. I showed up and picked my nail colors while the pedicure tub was filling up. There are color options but not in abundant like other nail salons. I also let Mimi know that I opted for the deluxe pedicure due to my wear and tear of feet due to kickboxing and nursing school clincials. Mimi did my pedicure and it looks great. She made me feel welcome and gives really good massages. I particularly enjoyed this as I have been having some issues with the balls of feet. She worked out those knots and my feet left happy and looked happy. Overall a great small size nail salon that works to make sure your feet look nice when you leave. read more

Mimi is so kind and very accommodating. Had the best experience with her and her daughter was amazing too! The place was quiet which is always nice read more

I called at 2, got a 2:30 appointment and was thrilled! I was even more thrilled with the service. This is not a modern, upscale place but they don't need to be. The technician was friendly, easy to talk to and she did a fantastic job on my pedicure. She was very meticulous and dedicated to her craft. I will definitely be going back. read more

Mimi did an excellent job and dropped some nuggets of wisdom along the way! Lovely experience

I went here first time with my mom received two deluxe & very good pedicure and they take their time to give a good look and outcome. cautions also taken during covid times ! read more

Excellent environment! Super easy to get in. I called ahead and was able to drive right over. Walked in with my mask on as requested and washed hands as requested. Pedicure station with liner in bowl. I brought my own color as had it on hand (Mimi handed it back after cleaning it). I did the Delixe and it was worth it at $45. Included honey scrub, callus remover, mud mask, hot towel wrap, and the best hot stone massage ever! Ladies shhh don't tell the others, but this is the local place to hit. Oh, almost forgot, massage chairs are the bomb! Coming back in a few weeks for acrylics! Give these lovely ladies a try. read more

Just got a mani/pedi from here and I'm impressed! David and Mimi's attention to detail was spot on. I'm very picky about my nails, so I had to give 5 stars for their work. David was finishing up my pedicure and the place started to fill up. He still took the time for precision effort to ensure my nails were perfect. The location is fabulous as I live in Chaparral Park and their hours afford me the ability to get my nails done after work or on Saturday. I will be back regularly!! read more

Abi is so sweet and so fun to talk to, she's so kind hearted and does whatever nail design you want, I recommend her to anyone.

Found this place via Yelp. A nice family owned and operated salon. No frills but very clean. My daughter and I got regular manicures and I also got a pedicure. Again, no frills, just a basic service but I feel they did a good job. Very pleased with my service. read more

Clean, super friendly, priced reasonably and meticulous manis and pedis! What else could you ask for!!! Mimi does most or all of the manis while David does most of the pedis. They are both very conscientious in their work and very nice people! You cannot find a better nail salon in the area unless you are more about the bells and whistles. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice, average place. They also wax but I have not had that done but would if necessary. Check it out. You won't be sorry!! read more

I've been getting pedicures from Mimi @ 1626 Nails in Manchaca for about 6 years. I am never disappointed! My daughter gets her manicures here, too. The salon is clean, the service great. Mimi is a sweetheart. Prices very reasonable. I love the color selection. I highly recommend this nail salon, especially since COVID - they could use more business. read more

This place SUCKED i asked for acrylic nails and showed her a picture of what I originally wanted. I took a before and after picture. I cried when I left because I have never got my nails done this crappy !! I eventually went to t-nails in buda and I was SO happy when I left. Thank you Hannah at T-nails!!! read more

I recently moved to the area from far north Austin (and far away from my favorite nail place up on Anderson Mill), so it was time to find a new spot. I called ahead to make sure there wasn't a long wait, but she said she wasn't busy so I headed over. I went in for a simple pedicure (my toes were looking pretty gnarly) and a brow wax. The place isn't much to look at from the outside, sandwiched between the Stripes/Valero convenience store/gas and a barber shop. The inside is minimal, but it's clean with simple decor. They have about six pedicure chairs with the electric massage chairs, about 4 (or maybe 2) manicure tables, and two private rooms for waxing and I guess the facial services they offer. I ended up getting the Salon pedicure ($35) which included salt scrub, hot towel, and callus treatment. Mimi was quick but attentive to detail, and did a great job dealing with all the problem spots around my nail beds (the primary reason I get pedicures). She also gave a fantastic foot and leg massage! She was efficient but careful on my brows as well. (Brow wax was $10.) I'll definitely be back! read more

Mimi is sweet and considerate. She suggested I try gel coverage of my natural French tips for a longer lasting manicure. I stayed away from artificial nails after a brief try many years ago, so I was hesitant but she said it will double your manicure time so I went for it. Wow! Was I surprised! Great job! The gel lasted perfectly while my nails grew. This spot is located conveniently for me. I can call for immediate appointments usually. No rush, quiet zone for mediation! Reasonably priced. Facials also soothing. One morning, I arrived early and Mimi shared her great tasting Vietnamese coffee...I was in heaven! This is not your Rush Rush Survive the Heavy Traffic kind of place! (PS: I found her next door to my hairstylist!) read more

Mimi did it again! This is the 4th time in a row I have been to get my nails done here and my nails look perfect! Mimi is very meticulous and I am completely satisfied! She also is great at picking out colors that look great with your skin tone. LOVE! read more

I visited 1626 Nails after having a terrible experience at my regular south Austin salon. I am so happy I tried it out. The location doesn't scream "awesome" as it's in a small strip center with a gas station. However the inside is super clean and inviting. The man who did my mani pedi was friendly and did a great job. The pricing was reasonable, with a big menu of options. Also a plus, both people I interacted with spoke and understood English. 1626 is a small salon with, as far as I can tell, only two employees. While I was there, one customer was asked to return in an hour because both manicurists were busy. This means it's best to call ahead to avoid waiting. read more

I had a great experience at this quiet, clean, personable nail salon. I've walked out of more salons than I've actually gotten pedicures in, usually the smell of acetone and lacquer drive me away. Who can sit for an hour or more like that? And it can't be good for the health of the salon staff. 1626 Nails and Spa was the cleanest and best aired salon I've ever seen. David and Mimi were lovely, and made me and my daughter feel at ease. read more

Went in to get a deluxe pedicure along my husband. Very detail oriented, nice atmosphere, very quiet which is what I like. It didn't smell like a nail salon which was an added perk because sometimes the fumes make me feel sick. It's a husband/wife team and The husband did my nails and did a very good job. I mentioned to Mimi that my husband has been having a really bad headache and so she spent extra time on his massage. Their English is totally understandable and they are extremely warm and welcoming. It's nice to support local business and we will definitely come back. :) read more

I had been trying to find a salon since moving to Austin. I had yet to find one as I'm picky. I went to this salon based on the yelp reviews. Mimi was very sweet from the start. I wanted sns nails and the last place that did them did terrible. Mimi was determined to make sure that didn't happen again. A lot of factors go into sns and a lot of things determine if it will come out good. The odds weren't in my favor today. Mimi tried everything she could think of. Her friend and co-worker was helping as well. It took a while but we finally came up with a solution that made her feel good that I was happy...i was happy and like my nails now. Someone who will go through that....show her patience and make sure her customer is happy is someone I will go back to. It took a few months to find a salon i liked, but I WILL be back read more

This is an awesome nail salon! When you come here be ready to be pampered. Mimi, the owner treats you like family. The shop is always spotlessly clean, bright and cheerful and prices are reasonable. My friends travel from north Austin to come here because they do such an excellent job! David is awesome as are all the nail techs. I often drop in and have never had to wait. read more

I decided to give this little salon a try based on Yelp reviews. I was not disappointed. From the outside, the nondescript signage could be easy to miss. The inside is very pleasant, CLEAN, and well organized. You can tell they take great pride in their business. David did my pedicure and he was very gentle - but not too much so. I never felt he was rushing and he did a great job. Mimi (a real gem of a person) was great in every way. She was patient, gentle, very accommodating, and did a really great job of soaking off one of the worst acrylic sets (from salon in San Marcos) I have ever gotten. She helped me choose a color and didn't get upset when I needed to reshape a few of my nails. It's a 40 mile round-trip for me from where I live in Wimberley but so very worth it! read more

I love this place! Mimi and David do a great job on gel manicures and pedicures, and they are both super sweet. I also have serious issues with cleanliness of nail salons, and always notice when things aren't cleaned properly, and this place meets my standards. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Great place!! I highly recommend it read more

Mimi is he best!! She always takes her time and does great job!! She tries to get you in at your convenience... can't go wrong here.

Quiet, quant and fabulous service. MiMi is like having your mama do your nails. Great English, doesn't rush and treats you like your family. My first time today and I'll come here instead of the more expensive places in circle c. Smaller selection of colors and gels, dnd but the quality is worth coming. read more
