After getting tired of dealing with breakage and weak, brittle nails, I decided to try something new. I researched and found AIA, and they've definitely lived up to my expectations. I've had the Russian Gel Mani and Pedi, and my nails have never looked or felt better. The service is top-notch, and they even offer complimentary tea, coffee, or water (plus a few other options). Overall, I'm really pleased with the experience. Just a heads-up: this place books up fast, so be sure to schedule an appointment ahead of time, either by calling, texting, or booking online. read more

I was a loyal client at AIA for over a year and never had a single issue. My manicures always looked fantastic, and I loved being able to comfortably go four weeks between appointments with minimal grow-out. Unfortunately, ever since they hired Kelly, my experience at this salon went completely downhill. My manicures with Kelly started cracking at the base, causing my natural nails to break repeatedly. Every visit required extensions, which added even more time to what was already a two-hour appointment. Giving her the benefit of the doubt as a newer tech, I saw her again and decided to try a Russian pedicure. That was a huge mistake. She applied hard builder gel to my toes--which looked nice initially--but started falling off just days later. I went in for a repair with a different tech, who took off all but three of the nails and redid them, assuring me it was purely an application error on the tech's part, not my fault. Days later, the three nails she left on fell off as well. After multiple poor experiences, I decided to stop seeing Kelly altogether and booked my next pedicure specifically with MJ. I arrived early, only to be informed that Kelly would be doing my pedicure instead. I was never called or texted beforehand to let me know MJ was unavailable or that my tech had been changed. It is incredibly ironic that they enforce a strict 24-hour cancellation/reschedule policy for clients, yet do not hold themselves to the same standard. (A friend I referred to AIA experienced the exact same thing when booking with MJ, only to be told she was "sick" right at appointment time.) Hoping for the best, I let Kelly do the pedicure after she promised there wouldn't be any issues and assured me she would use soft gel instead this time. Just one week later, my big toenail completely cracked and others began chipping. When I went back for yet another repair, the manager and repair technician claimed that hard gel is never used on pedicures at their salon, and that Kelly's initial use of hard gel had thinned my nails so severely that it caused the cracking. (This explanation made little sense, as I know several clients who consistently get hard gel pedicures here.) Worse, I was told that attempting a repair posed a risk of foot infection/fungus, leaving me with no choice but to have all product removed. Walking away with no pedicure and a potential health concern after being promised quality work was extremely upsetting. When I requested a full refund at the front desk, the manager refused, claiming a policy that only a 50% refund is issued after 7 days. As a college graduate balancing a full-time job and career school, I didn't have time to sit for an hour-long repair during the week, which is why I scheduled for the following week. When I explained that $50 wasn't fair after paying over $100 for a failed service that left me with damaged nails and infection risk, I asked to see where this 7-day policy was documented. The manager claimed it was on their website. I pulled up the website right in front of her and asked her to show me--and predictably, she couldn't find it because no such policy exists. To make matters worse, she attempted to give me the 50% refund in cash even though I paid with a credit card. When she tried processing it through the POS system to refund my card, the system coincidentally showed that only a 100% refund could be issued back to a card. Rather than doing the right thing, she insisted on giving me 50% cash. At that point, continuing the argument simply wasn't worth my time. I have since switched to another Russian nail salon for my manicures and pedicures. The new technicians were shocked by the state of my nails and noted that the products used at AIA appeared to be of extremely poor quality and from China. AIA clearly used to be a great salon, but they have become greedy and no longer care about nail health, client satisfaction, or long-term customer loyalty. I, and those I have referred, will not be returning. read more

When I first started coming to the nail salon, I liked that they took care of my nails and were concerned about the health. However, since the last three appointments have not been what I've asked for I made this appointment because I wanted to try an ombre and I had to wait a month to get this appointment for the nail tech not understand or be able to do the ombre as I was requesting. I had pictures so they could visually see what I was asking for And on top of having to go back and forth about what I was requesting, she used a drill on my my natural nails instead of filing them or cutting them then she drilled them down further under the gel application of my nail and I don't know if they're going to break or even grow back the same. I've been coming for almost a year and I'm just not happy and I don't think I'll be back sadly. read more

I've been coming to AIA every month for about a year now, and I can confidently say I'll never find a better place! My favorite technician is Yana, she's absolutely the best. Yana is thorough, precise, and a true perfectionist. Within just two months of seeing her, she completely transformed my natural nails into something I thought only existed on Pinterest. They're perfect every single time! I constantly get compliments on my nails, and people are always shocked to learn they're my natural nails. If you've never experienced a "Russian manicure," the process might take a bit longer than you're used to, but trust me, quality work takes time. I would much rather spend a little extra time for exceptional results than rush through and compromise the outcome. Because of Yana's impeccable work, I only need to come in every 4 weeks (though honestly, I could stretch it to 5-6 if I wanted to). She's that good! I will always recommend AIA to everyone I know!!! read more

You absolutely need to book an appointment, especially for weekend times. read more

First of all the WHOLE salon is just so welcoming, very clean and excellent talented nail techs. I had a smart pedicure which is a dry pedicure and I absolutely LOVED it!

I wish I could give this place negative stars. not only was I here for 5 hrs but my nails look like my little sister did them. The tech was inexperienced in doing gel. She my nails look lumpy.

I don't even want to come back to get them fixed. I am absolutely discussed!!!! Don't waste your money!! read more

I am in town from Austin for Valentine's Day and needed to run an errand just south of Frisco. I also needed to get a gel pedicure, so I found AIA close to my errand. Upon walking in, I noticed it seemed very clean, so that was good. They offered coffee, tea, chocolates, etc, and all seemed to be going fine. Then, she walked me back to the pedicure chairs and to my horror there were no bowls/massage chairs, like I'm used to. The chairs were more like dental chairs. My nail technician didn't speak much English but seemed sweet and eager, so I just decided to sit back and try to relax. Who knows? Maybe this would be the best pedi ever! One thing I noticed right off the bat was that it was incredibly slow and meticulous. Which I hoped was a good thing! They tell you on the website that the gel pedicures are 135 minutes. I was hoping that meant more of a spa experience with a massage. She checked in with me from time to time to make sure I was not experiencing pain since she was using an electronic file. After one hour she was still filing/buffing my nails. They don't use the wet dipped cotton balls with the foil method to chemically melt off the previous gel polish from my last pedi 2 weeks ago. They literally grind/sand/file/buff it off and smooth your naked nail...ONE HOUR! (She also worked on my cuticles during that time). After about an hour she brushed off my toes with a soft bristle brush, soaped them up with foam soap and wiped them off with a wipe, cuz like I said...no bowl. Super strange, but I'm still hopeful. Idk how she's going to do my heels, though. At that point, I'm starting to miss the massage chair because I'm getting uncomfortable and stiff. At this point, she raises my chair super high, asks me to scoot down like a gynecologist would and starts filing the bottom of my feet with the electronic buffer! I'm now I'm in a SUPER unnatural position and not relaxed at all. But, maybe all the tickling from this buffer is going to make my feet feel super soft? Yeah, no. This was just strange and not relaxing at all. My back hurt and i was all tensed up and twitching because of the ticklish grinder thing she used on my heels that sounded eerily like a dental drill. I wanted to leave at that point, but she hadn't even started painting my nails at 1.5 hours in! After that she put lotion on my feet and buffed them out even more, then added oil. I'm sure they're very soft! At 1.75 hours in, the polishing started, hallelujah! The horrific medical chairs were even WORSE when it came time to polish. You're in a totally uncomfortable position which 2 hours in was more than slightly irritating. I started to sweat and regret wasting all that time to be the opposite of pampered and relaxed. Even if this pedicure was STUNNING, I'd never come back. I'm physically sore from the odd positioning and my toes look no better than my regular place at my regular price...oh, did I mention this torture session costs $95? I did tip my nail tech, tho, ($117 was the total) because she was sweet, did her best, and all clients in the chairs at the same time with me had the same procedure, so she was obviously trained to do this exactly this way. Jeez. Never again. read more

I will forever be a customer!! Even though we are moving to Oklahoma I have always received the best customer service for my nails and feet! I LOVE ROZA! She is truly a gem and pays attention to detail and knows how to perfect her craft! The owner is very warm and accommodating when I have appointment conflicts due to my kids! read more

I love this beauty studio. I get my gel nails done now exclusively there and couldn't be happier. I live in Dallas proper so it takes time to get there but it's worth every mile! The vibes are relaxed, very clean and friendly. But what really stands out is the unmatched quality of work. My nail tech (Roza) really listens and since I tend to only have a vague idea of what I want to begin with she has plenty of advice to get to my decision quickly. This is a fun and inspiring space to get creative and walk out with the most gorgeous mani that will last you at least a month! read more

Yana and Roza are the best! I always get the most detailed service and the place is quiet and calm. Once you get a mani and pedi with them, you will never go to a regular nail salon! read more

Best manicure and pedicure I've ever received. Attention detail is next level. My nails and paint never chip and last 5+ weeks. Nails have never been stronger and healthy after getting dip and gel for years. read more

Had a Russian manicure today. Needed help because my nails are degraded from dipping powders. Nail beds are short, thin and weak. Cuticles are dry, cracked and long. Embarrassed to show my hands. I saw Yana. She explained what she was going to do, and advised how to get my nails back to a healthy state. She was absolutely meticulous in treating my cuticles and making my nails healthy and looking pretty. She was gentle and kind. It was a transformation. I could not be more pleased. Studio is clean and has a great vibe. read more

Indira is absolutely amazing!!!! She is so warm and welcoming, very artistic and pays attention to detail. She takes a lot of pride in her work and makes sure you leave satisfied. She cuts the cuticles when doing nails and puts gel material far back on the nail bed which makes my nails last 4-5 weeks. I absolutely love her work and my nails are so healthy thanks to her! Here are some pics of her work! read more

My feet were softer than a toddlers! Book ahead, walk ins not guaranteed . My technician was prompt and professional . Thank you Anna

I had my very first Russian manicure (ever) a few weeks ago. I was pretty nervous because it had been years since I had a professional manicure, let alone a specialized one. My hands looked horrible. I would like to thank Nastia, my nail master. I went to her with thin, rough textured and peeling nails. I had given up awhile ago on having smooth and healthy nail beds. They are always scratchy feeling. I don't know what magic she had but when she was done, my nail beds were so smooth, my cuticle area and sides of my fingers were picture perfect- like what you see in magazines. I was so shocked in a good way, I could not get words out. I booked myself and my daughter for our first gel mani in June. Can't wait for the outcome! Thank you Nastia! read more

Had mani/ pedi. Very clean place. Master is professional, pleasant and did a great job listening to my requests. They provide high quality services. This is not a place to get a quick usual manicure. It is very thorough dry technique without using soaking them the water. Make sure you ask how long it will take and expect to spend longer time. Because of the technique they use, nails look perfect and gel/ polish lasts longer. read more

Nails have never looked better! They are so detail oriented and everyone in the salon is so nice!

I am familiar with dry Smart style manicure for the past as long as it exists- about 7 years for me. It does not use any water bath to soak your hands and feet but special mechanical tiny drills to clean cuticles and calluses. The manicure will last at least 4 weeks and pedicure can stay up to 2 months but I would recommend it every 4-6 weeks as nails grow out. Every process is very meticulous to assure that the manicure and pedicure end result looks perfect and lasts without needing touch up till next scheduled appointment. Actual gel polish is also a bit time consuming as the gel application needs special technique to lay it out on your nail bed and creat a beautiful nail shape making sure it does not leak into the cuticle but goes on as close into the cuticle as possible so that a week later or two when nails grow out you can't even see the subtleness of nail polish moving away from the cuticle keeping your manicure and pedicure looking fresh as if you just had it done. The techs here at AIA as well as the owner Indira are amazing well trained and very experienced. I have been to many different smart style manicure techs when lived in New York( and believe me there were many) and when I moved to North Dallas area 1.5 years ago I have been searching for the perfect dry manicure and pedicure. Gently done here at AIA and lasts a long time. Finally!! My daughter and I love AIA SALON and will be coming back for as long as they are here. Thank you AIA Salon! FYI to those who are used to old fashioned chinese salons with little attention of cleaning your cuticles or using high quality polishing products, but distracting you with an old massaging chair and a dirty foot bath and scrub-this place may not be what you are looking for. However you should give it a chance if you want to be forwarded into the XXI CENTURY of gel manicure. It is also pricier as the time it takes to do the work is not 30 minutes of carressing your fingers and toes making believe you are getting the quality work done, as well as the materials and polishes used are high quality gels, not cheap gel imitation polish that also uses UV lught to dry and oeels off inna week. Also DO NOT mistaken IT for acrylic or powder dip- very different! Check out my pedicure process and the final results in pictures below read more

I found you guys online. I walked in yesterday because of the amazing reviews. The salon is beautiful. Unfortunately the lady at the front desk treated me like pretty women in the clothing store. I'm a nurse I can afford to get my nails done. It was the way she was telling me the cost of things when I didn't ask. So I walked out and had my nails done elsewhere. I have never been treated like that before read more

I got my nails done with AIA Beauty Studio and the attention to detail and craftsmanship is UNMATCHED! I arrived for my appointment at 2pm and was worked on from the time I walked in until almost 5pm. I was offered drinks and frequently got asked if I'm happy with the colors/shape I chose for my nails because the girls wanted me to be happy! All the girls are lovely and do such a quality job! We are so lucky to have a gem of a nail salon like this one in Frisco/DFW! Be ready to be pampered when you come here! I also want to mention how clean everything was.

Amazing work!! patient and kind customer service!

I just had my first pedicure here and let me tell you, you need this salon in your life. As an Eastern European myself, I sadly had a hard time finding the same quality nail services like in Europe. I was always frustrated with the fact that most regular US salons do not appropriately cut cuticles and shape the nail for beautiful healthy nails. Eastern Europeans are trained right! The pedicure here is a very special technique (google Smart Pedicure or Russian pedicure). There is zero pain or discomfort involved and your cuticles and skin are buffed to perfection! The detailed work they do here is impressive and worth every dollar. The salon is so elegant, pristine, clean, I was serves the most delicious cappuccino with chocolate, everything is comfortable and amazing. This is the pedicure salon of the future ladies and gents! I had Daria by the way and her skills are beyond amazing. I highly recommend this salon and I am already going back soon for a mani! read more
