    I've been to this nail salon twice now as I like to give benefit of doubt to establishments. First visit was a full set and a pedicure. Today's visit consisted of a fill and a pedicure. Brian did my fill today as well as the full set on first visit and he does not disappoint. Now, let's talk pedicures....ugh! The young lady did my pedicure today and I'm truly disappointed........ pictures to come and you all know, pictures don't lie. I'm not sure what else to say about this, but absolutely horrible. I did not notice how bad it was until I got home or I definitely would have said something to her. Just as a FYI..... the prices they have posted do not reflect what they will charge you ( at least that is my experience on 2 separate visits ) so beware of that as well. Today was my definitely my last visit as I said I like to give establishments benefit of the doubt, but just cannot pay for a pedicure for it to turn out like this! I didn't want to give a 1- star rating since I was happy with the full set at first visit and fill today by Brian!

    I went in for a simple nail removal with only acetone. The woman that worked on my nails was older with a Bob haircut. I requested only acetone, but she was in a hurry even though I was the only person in the shop so she alternated between the acetone and the nail drill. One of my nails were cut down to the skin and instead of her treating it she decided to try and clip my SKIN off with the nail clippers until I jumped then she mocked me and cut my thumb nail down to the skin out of spite. I will never go back to this place. It is my second time going and there will not be a third

    Look at how detail oriented Brian is! I called ahead to schedule an appointment and was pleasantly impressed at their cleanliness. The gentleman handling appointments is also the sweet man who greets you at the door. So professional, kind and courteous. Having not had my nails done in quite some time, I pulled up a picture of what I was looking for - almond short-medium nails, and Brian did a phenomenal job. Take a look for yourself! I almost can't wait for my nails to grow out so I can come back for a fill ;-) Color: 062 Dip powder nails on tips Beautiful work again Brian, thanks for almost putting me to sleep in a relaxing environment while you perfumed art!

    I was a bit concerned to go here after seeing the mixed reviews, but honestly, I don't understand the negativity. I came in shortly after they opened on a Saturday morning for a gel manicure. I was seating right away. I chose my color from their plentiful selection of gel polishes, and someone began to remove my old gel. Once the gel was removed, another employee came to do my manicure. In spite of multiple broken nails, they were able to even put the length of all of my nails without cutting them all the way down. The manicure was pretty quick, and they did a great job. One week later, and my nails still look perfect. No signs of chipping or peeling. Plus, they have great prices! Will come again.

    I just got a polish change on my toes. I asked for French tip and it is probably the worst job I've ever seen. It's so uneven and the girl didn't even want me to look at my nails to correct it. I paid $30 including a tip. Way too much for what I received.

    Really great first experience. When I walked in for a pedicure and a full set, I was the only one in the there. Tom ended up starting on my nails while I was sitting getting a pedicure. Spectacular customer service. I'm very particular about my nails, I try to be very specific when I ask for what I want. Tom made a point to make sure both hands matched in every which way. His attention to detail was awesome. Nothing like watching HGTV and getting spruced up. Total relaxation! Definitely recommend

    Way over priced, sloppy job, and nail tech had such a bad attitude. He kept sucking his teeth an any little request I made as if I was majorly inconveniencing him. It made me uncomfortable enough to not say anything when I didn't like something he did on my nails. The edges of my nails are extremely sloppy the picture shown is 3 days after they were applied and they still look sloppy . Not to menrI was charged 85 for a removal of my old nails and application of the new nails. Never again

    Tom did such a great job with my hombre nails! Exactly what I wanted and they lasted 3+ weeks.

    Good customer service, clean, serves wine...what's not to like? I've been going to 1st nails for about two years now and have always come out liking my nails/toes. They use the covers over the tubs on the pedicure stations. I'm impressed with how clean they keep the salon. The only downside to this place is if you are a last minute person like myself and do not have an appointment, be prepared to wait.

    Tom did my nails and they are so perfect they look unreal in the best way. Definitely found my new place. Asked for ombré and got the perfect pink to white ratio and the coffin shape is flawless.

    Worst pedicure I've ever had. In and out within 20 mins. The lady didn't even scrub my feet. She was so impatient she kept messing up on my nail polish and had to paint twice. Wont be back!

    I am torn with my rating due to It is positive and negative. First time in I absolutely hated the woman who did my nails.. Don't remember her name. I gave this salon a 2nd chance & went in a 2nd time....Tom did my new set. I was pleasantly happy, the price was cheaper then my primary nail salon & he did it in under an hour. I go in again for my 3rd time....4-6 weeks later to get a pedicure without an appointment... They sat me down in a massage chair, got my feet into the water which by the way burned & they left me there .... They made me wait 55-60 minutes in cold water before getting to me! I was so pissed by 35-40 mins in but I was in a bind.. So I allowed them to do my shellac pedicure that almost cost $50 ... Salons are starting to charge to "cut your nails down" that's an addition $3-5 dollars & the "shellac colors" for a manicure $12-15 additional dollars & $15 - $18 for pedicure.... I could go buy a bottle @ Ulta for $12-15... A whole bottle. Just because another salon put shellac on my toes your going to change me an addition $10 to take off the color as well??.... Plus I am then paying $45-50 for a fresh pedi... Ridiculous. The prices change EVERY TIME I go in here... I deliberately one time wrote down the "prices" on the card he gave me & the next time in the price switched... So, go in TODAY... My 4th time. I made an appointment on a Wednesday afternoon for 1045-11am due to I'm thinking people are at work. There are 4 workers and 6 woman... Totally understaffed. Tom made me wait with an appointment this time and yet again.....Another 30 minutes before he could get to me. Mind you this is just for a fill. He rushes to me to start working on my nails, leaves 2 woman in chairs waiting for pedicures & a woman who's been in the salon for 1-1.5 hours at a chair waiting to get her hands done... He did my fill in a mind blowing 22 minutes with minor errors such as scuffed polish, uneven nails, ect.. I felt his hands shaking to rush through my fill. I don't pay you $30-50 dollars for a shit job & I sure the hell don't tip 20-25% for making me wait 1hr or even for that matter giving me crap work on my hands.... As I was getting my fill a woman was just as pissed as I was from my last visit....she got up and left with tinfoil on her fingers due to she probably almost waited 2 hours... I will not be going my back due to lack of staff, lack of compassion & because I can pay the same damn price at my primary salon and get better quality service and work done on my nails.. Sorry. This is why in Austin, Texas I suggest 3 nail salons to rotate between. So inconsistent. Highly considering taking my fake nails off next month for this reason. Hope my review put some spot light on the industry.

    ***Lengthy Review*** Unfortunately 1st Nails has failed my expectations for the 3rd and final time. I was a bit upset because of the following situation- 1st Nails opens at 11am on Sundays, after doing my morning Sunday errands I decided to stop by to get a manicure. I showed up about 5 min before opening & decided to wait in my car until I saw the owner or opener unlock the doors and allow customers inside. At 11am I expected for somebody to open up the front door and allow people to come in but there was nobody opening any door at that time. I noticed other customer also waiting in their cars for opening. Around 11:05 I began to call the store to see if somebody was inside and possibly over looked the time etc. There was no answer. I called again and continued to call for the next 5 minutes, again no answer. I saw some customers starting to walk to the front door and wait at the door. 11:20 rolls around and STILL the doors are locked and there's no sign of an employee. It is VERY unprofessional for a shop to state their business hours and not abide by them. You don't see Target or any other business state they open at a specific time & don't even open till the employee decides they want to come in. You especially don't have just 1 opener. Typically there is a team of openers so that way the store can open properly and ensure services are being taken care of for all customers ESPECIALLY on a weekend when you know it's your busiest time. I decided to walk to the front of the building and ask the other patrons that were also waiting if they knew why the shop is closed when business hours state the shop opens at 11am. One of the ladies actually had the personal cell # of either the owner or one of the technicians and called to ask if the shop was going to open or where the employee was at. 11:30 comes and FINALLY an employee shows up rushing to the front door to unlock it and allow us in, she was also exclaiming the excuses she had of why she is late stating "traffic got her". I completely understand things happen and sometimes you have to show up 5min late but to me 30 minutes is ridiculous especially if you are the opener and nobody is able to get services done because you are late. Once the employee let all 6 of us that were waiting inside in she had us sit and asked "who is First" the lady who was First was in side of SNS service which the technician decided to say to her rude and abruptly "I don't know how to do SNS so you will have to wait for someone else to come in and do it for you". As I was saying she was the only technician and there was 6 of us needing services and the tech said she was unsure when the other person was going to be in therefore she didn't know the wait time. At that point I decided to leave and not waste anymore time here. The 3rd and final straw happened today. I wanted to give 1st Nails one more try before I decided I no longer wanted to give them my service. I called at 11:30am to ensure the salon was open especially because of the Easter Holiday. The technician told me they were open and I set an APPOINTMENT for 12:00pm. I got to the salon about 5 min before my appointment time so I did wait and of course they only have 2 techs working on the WEEKEND. I told the tech I made an appt for 12 & he (Tom) told me to wait a few more min due to the fact that yet again another employee did not show up for work that morning so they are short staffed. If you continuously have personnel problems wouldn't you think to possibly fix the problem and let go of those employees or change your business hours to a time that can better accommodate your employees schedule?? I waited until 12:20 and Tom finally got to me, which ended up being a bad nail service when typically he is one of the best. Tom rushed through and he was done with my FILL/GEL set by 12:35. I asked for a cut down and reshape, my nails do need to be short Bc I do type every day for my job. I asked Tom to shape my nails in an almond shape but keep them short he then told me that short almond shape nails are not cute and do not look good the way I like them. (Which is the way I get them all the time but only when he does my nails is where there's an issue with the length/shape I'm requesting.) To accommodate Tom I told him to go ahead and cut them short and instead do an oval shape. Tom then painted my nails so crappy and had me flinging my hands in and out of the UV light source. I chose a light pale pink color and in the pics you can tell he didn't paint them evenly and there are a few empty spaces of paint, you can also see that he did not clean up my cuticle area at all. I did not get the shape I wanted, the length I wanted. The gel is bumpy in some areas and messy. I am not one the complain ever but I am so baffled by the experience I had that I wanted to share. Everyone has their own experience and you may love 1st nails but my journey has ended with them and I will no longer come back.

    Tammy has done my acrylic sets and fills 5+ times now and she is FANTASTIC! She even ordered a…read morecolor she didn't have that I requested :) She has done awesome cat eye, jelly, chrome and designs for me. I am rough on my hands and my nails rarely break after Tammy does them. Occasionally I get a pedicure while I am there which is really nice too. On weekends they are super busy so I recommend going earlier on weekdays, otherwise you might have to wait. I wish I took pics of all the sets she has done but I only have two.

    I had gone to this salon before for a pedicure and decided to go again to have a full set of…read moreacrylic nails removed and get a gel manicure since I was in the area. Nancy was assigned to do my nails and did not speak one word of English. The only reason I bring this up is because typically, when you need to get your nails removed, they soak your fingernails for a few minutes to loosen the bond, then clip them off of your natural nails piece by piece. Well, an hour and a half later, they finally removed. It was not communicated to me clearly that they did a different process to preserve the nail by slowly filing it down then soaking your nails, then slowly filing it down then soaking your hands times 11! Literally, it took over an hour and a half to get them removed. Nancy was rough with my fingers. She had sharp nails and dug them into my fingers while she was rolling them from side to side to work on my nails. It was painful and I tried to explain to her not to grip my fingers so tightly. She also cut my one of my cuticles. I know I have thin cuticles - I tried to explain that to her but she didn't understand. The manager should have stepped in and explained the process better and communicated to Nancy my complaints. They had me soak my nails for over 25 minutes with foil wraps before switching me out to have John be my new nail technician. John was wonderful. We were able to have a nice conversation and he did a great job. However, I did have an appointment I needed to go to and I was late to it because when I walked into the salon at 12:30, I had no idea it wouldn't be until 2:00 pm before that process was done. I will not be returning.
