    Uneven, lumpy and thick.
    Kena M.

    I've gotten my nails done here 12 times. Sometimes, I've gotten a great nail specialist and my nails have looked great! However, like yesterday, my nails look horrible. I'm totally embarrassed. They are lumpy and uneven and super thick. Ugly!!!! Back to trying to find a quality place in Austin. This is not it.

    This is what I asked for

    I tried giving this salon multiple chances regardless of the bad reviews but, the receptionist manager is always rude the second you walk in and, when her social media posts talking about how annoyed she is with customers popped up on my feed, I knew I could not come to this salon anymore. Next, the woman that did my set was so disrespectful. She treated me like a burden and not a customer. No one should be ever have to go home and fix what "professionals" are supposed to be licensed to do. Do not be in the service industry if you don't want to provide a service.

    The damage they did removing and reapplying with a metal attachment on the grinder on my bare nail.

    Bad bad bad. And silly me for giving them a second chance. I get dip nails. From other places, like Triangle and Highland Nails for example, they last 6 weeks and have no cracks. From Adore, they don't last 24 hours. The first time was a month ago. They cracked in a week and I went and had it repaired. More nails swiftly cracked after I got the one repaired. So many were cracked, that I went back the next week for a new set. I told the front desk, a young woman with long straight black hair, about my issue. She didn't apologize and just pointed at the sign in. The tech assigned to me proceeded to use a metal attachment on her grinder on my bare nail, nicking my skin along the way. I winced several times and even told her, you keep doing it! When I checked out, the front desk woman charged me full price. I was shocked. I said, so....if I have this issue again what do you recommend. She said just keep coming back in for repairs. This new set lasted 24 hours, then started cracking. This second job was so terrible it also started disintegrating (back into dip powder form), I'm guessing because she made each powder layer too thick. I noticed she kept going 2 dips for every layer of polish, which is not how it's supposed to be done. As they continue to crack, I realize how destroyed my nails are, and I slowly and carefully removed everything with acetone. Pics attached show how the cracks caused my nails to separate from the beds, and the metal tool indented and thinned my nails out so bad I can't get my nails done again any time soon. They messed up, I gave them another chance, foolishly, and they messed up again. My nails are so thin they are painful. And I spent 3 hours of my time and over $100 on this adventure. Bad, bad, bad.

    Can I give this place 10-15 stars please?!?? I have searched all over Austin for a nail salon to call "home base." It is safe to say after 3-4 years of being on the hunt and prowl. I finally found it. Their cost is about the same as everywhere else. They just opened in May. The staff seem very up to date on the new techniques to achieve certain styles of nails. (Example: the guy airbrushed my ombré nails I had never heard of this being done but they look phenomenal-- something you'd see in a magazine or something). I'm thoroughly impressed and will be coming back here. They were pretty busy for a Wednesday around 5-6pm. They constantly had a steady stream of customers rolling in it seemed. But they seem to stay open a little later than a lot of place because they don't close til 7:30pm which is nice because you don't feel rushed during rush hour to get there only to get there and there not be enough time or something.

    So I came back to get gel X because my last set lasted so long and I was impressed with the quality that I was willing to pay more. Unfortunately my expectations were not met with the service. I showed them a picture of what I wanted and asked how much it would be and they said $70. I asked them to explain and they said gel x was $50, french tip was $15 and round shape was $5. Note on their website it says "Shape (Coffin, Stiletto) $5" So keep this in mind. They will up-charge you for things not stated on their website. I agreed to the design and cost sat down and felt rushed during the process. When she was done with a specific part (shaping, polish) she would have me check and (this part was my fault) but I said things looked good. I should've taken more time to look. When she was doing the top coat I realized the french tip didn't look like the pictures I showed her and told her I know she just did a top coat but I wasn't happy with it. She look irritated and there become some tension between us while she told me "I should've told her earlier" (which I get but she made me feel really bad about it) then proceeded to try and fix the french trip over the cured top coat. Which left me 3 top coats...which I quested but she kinda waved me off and said it was fine. I appreciated her patience but it also felt like she was annoyed with me so she was rushing the process and I was forced to say I liked them. After I paid and got the sunlight I realized my whole left hand had a cloudy look and the french tip lines were blurred. This is because she rushed through the process and put lotion on my left hand then told me to put my hand in the light again to cure it?! So the lotion and top coat cured together. Also there was still gel residue left on my right thumb! Attention to detail lacks. On top of all of this- I left with nicks from the dremel...wow!!! My fingers are still sore. I called to express my frustration and the lady told me to come back and they will "see it in person to decide if they want to fix it" I'll update my review after I go. UPDATED: New nail tech and no problems getting a new set that actually look like the picture. So I'm happy but not sure if I wanna try to come back here since they're inconsistent.

    Really happy they use a newly sanitized pedicure kit. Got a French gel x set and is perfect for the wedding I'm going to

    Great manicure in a great environment. $70 for chrome in a pretty clean space, would've been 5-stars if it was a little more affordable, a little more precise, a little more sterile, and if the sample colors matched the colors in the wall. Overall Tracy was excellent and I'll gladly come back.

The waxing itself is great; I prefer hard wax and appreciate how efficient the appointments are. I've worked with several, more senior specialists over the years, and they've all been great, friendly aestheticians. I've also had great service booking by phone or online. That said, I'm pretty sure I just had my last appointment, and the reasons have nothing to do with the quality of the service (hence why I'm still giving 5 stars). The reasons are more about how the business is run: 1. High Turnover. It's not a good sign that these facilities run through aestheticians. If you find someone you like and trust, it's highly likely that person will leave within about 2 years. Find another person, same thing. Rinse and repeat. 2. Treatment of Women. For this to be a place that primarily serves women, I've continued to hear about European Wax Center's less-than-ideal arrangements for female staff. No maternity leave? No flexible work schedules for new moms? I'll take my business elsewhere for the time being, but I do hope the owners/managers of these locations will take this feedback to heart and make some improvements.

Literally hundreds of dollars spent there for over a decade, and I was blown off today. Because I had the audacity to try to call them, not once, but THREE different times, and they never answered the phone. Desperately trying to let them know that I was running 4 minutes late. Four. They refused to go beyond a five minute grace period. When this place changed to one location, off William Cannon, I was not the only one impacted. There were many of us who were loyal to the 47th St. location, but who kept coming down south, even though it's over a 40 minute drive, because we like the brand. It's this sort of customer loyalty that businesses should be grateful for! Instead? I got no phone call, no follow up email, no attempt to touch base with me to try to work this out, and come to a better understanding. Nothing. So thank you for using me for my money! Way to go. It's not about the money. It's not about not being allowed to be four minutes late. It's about being blown off, when local businesses tout building relationships" with clients. My going there for 12 years, was that not proving that I was loyal? Fuck You, Waxing Studio. Those of you who want to go there still, that's on you. Beware of being blown off, and treated like you are a cog in the machine, just like anybody else. It's that sort of corporate BS I was hoping to avoid in the first place. Period.

I've had to change waxers over and over again because the estheticians are constantly leaving. First, I have to work hard with the actual service providers to build a relationship over several months to get my services "right." In the 15 min appts it is hard to express the exact brow shape you're looking for, in example. Or, sometimes the technique being used is unnecessarily painful compared to another provider I'd worked with prior. Then, after 6 months it's finally right and then the technician leaves, and the cycle begins again. Plus, EWC is constantly selling to you. "Buy a wax pass" or "try this product." I can't tell you how many worthless unused EWC products I have sitting under my sink that aren't effective, or how many times I wish I had never purchased a wax pass... so I wouldn't be locked in to coming back here when it just keeps getting worse. I don't recommend EWC. Here, or at any other location (by the way, there is no manager here, and they canceled an appt once bc the opener missed her alarm clock, and both of my waxers left bc this whole location is a hot mess)! It's time for me to move onto better, more clientele-focused businesses... even if it leaves my money on the table with the wax pass I was stupid enough to purchase.

After waiting, it is now 2:45 and I have yet to be seen. I question the purpose of scheduling an appointment for a specific time if the wait exceeds over 30 minutes.
