First, of all I would like to say that I do not write reviews because I think it's a very "Karen" thing to do. However, after my experience at Angel's Nail & Tanning. I think it's only fair to tell the truth of what people are walking into here. I have been getting my toes and nails done in Austin for years and since COVID-19 have been going to different places to try and help business during this time. So I googled "most relaxing pedicures in near me" and Angel's popped up with great reviews so I decided to give it a try. I walked in and sat down for my shellac mani & pedi. A woman wrapped my nails and a man started my pedicure. Anyone who gets shellac regularly knows it can be tough to get off sometime however in all my years this was by far the WORST experience I've ever had. Talk about a hack job (view pictures below) he literally scrubbed the skin off every single one of my toes. I kept letting him know it was painful but it was clear he did not give a shit, since he was on the phone most of the time. At one point he held my toes tight after scrubbing them and then soaking them with alcohol trying to get the shellac off ( I almost came out of the chair it was soo painful.) and apologized to me as if it was no big deal, at one point one of my toes started bleeding and he just wiped it away and looked at me like whoops! I wanted to get up and just leave but I was in the middle of the process and thought I would just tough it out and obviously never come back. My feet hurt soo bad when I was leaving. I went to pay and it was $100 for my pedi/mani and still tipped 20% (because I'm in the industry and I feel like it's a Karma thing) so total $120 for the nastiest pedi cure I have ever gotten. Also my nails chipped the next day. The place it self was not as clean as reviews said. Just overall a horrific experience. read more

Went in at 6:30 and they made me wait 30 minutes till someone came and helped, and when she did come she was extremely rough, was rushing, andkept calling her daughter and telling me her daughter was hungry. She cut me at least 3 times and at the end charged me $95 for this. I came in with bare fingernails I don't understand how it came out to be $95. Definitely never coming back here again. read more

The staff is very nice and I've been going here for years however the only person who's really good at nails is an older man and the owner Lisa, any time I've had anyone but them do my nails I've left disappointed. Last time It took 3 hours and asked for coffin shape and for my nails to not be thick and at the end they were extremely thick and uneven shapes and not really coffin also the SNS wasn't applied all the way at the base so it looked like my nails had already grown out a ton, once again very nice customer service but in terms of if you're getting what you're paying for I'd suggest only booking Lisa or just going somewhere else read more

Go see Lisa! She does such great nails and lashes at a great value! Do not overpay for 1/2 the job! This is my go to for beauty!

Went in for just eyebrows. I said it at least 3 times. I get to the back and the waxer keeps trying to add on services. I declined another 3 times. Before I know it wax is being smeared on my face. I again, said," no thank you." Annoyed, she uses oil to get the wax off and says,"well why not? You need." I kept saying," no, thank you." She wipes my eyebrows off and says," you're done." I get up and exam my eyebrows. She rushes me out of the room and we get to paying. I hand her cash and she's says," great thanks." Doesn't offer my change doesn't look up or anything. I stand there and give her some time thinking she's just busy. Finally I ask for my change and she just stares blankly at me.Finally she rolls her eyes and finally gives me my change. I'm not sure what has changed. This place use to be awesome. read more

Clean, sweet, cheap, great job, good timing, great location! I never have time to review, but I had to review this one!! This was the best manni/pedi I have ever had. I have had many! I got shellac on my toes and fingers. They were so kind and so friendly! I didn't have to wait at all! They gave the best arm and leg massages. My nails have never looked better. It was clean, quiet, and close! I'm a nurse so I am picky about being clean! I kid you not, this was the cheapest I have ever gotten out of a nail salon and I didn't skimp. I have been looking for a nail salon in Austin since I moved here in April of 2013! I have had nothing but terrible experiences! This was beyond what I have ever had in a nail salon! They even rubbed my shoulders! I can't express how sweet they were. The nail salon I tried two weeks ago cut my cuticles so low I bled. I told my nail tech today and she was so gentle and made them look so healthy and healed again. I appreciate them so much. They are my number one recommendation and I am definitely returning! read more

It breaks my heart to have to write this. I had really wanted to like this place but just had a very unpleasant experience. My sister and I have been salon hopping looking for a good place to do shellac. I was adamant we come here because of my wonderful pedi experience and the price ($25). So We come in about 40 minutes till closing on a friday and everyone is busy which is totally understandable. we waited picking colors for about 5 minutes (which is hardly a wait considering how busy they were) and were seated. this was about to get very unpleasant. The shellac my sister and I had gotten hadnt chipped or crack, it was very thick, and the technicians couldnt take it off so they rubbed really hard on our nails to scrape it away with the metal tool. I could literally see pieces of my nail bed coming off WITHOUT shellac so i asked her to stop and let it soak because it was very very unpleasant. My sister was on the other end of the salon and didnt think to ask her technician the same so he chiseled away at her nails leaving them paper thin and very damaged. this aside, because i can attest to the fact that that shellac DID NOT want to come off, the mani's we both received were very rushed and are very poor in quality. As soon as we walked out my sisters nails got air bubbles and her tech. didnt apply it evenly (its lumpy) and actually left spots of her nails naked. my job is much better than hers, but the shellac is streaky and has some lumps and pieces where the clear coat/brush scratched the polish ... its hard to describe but it doesnt look like a solid, even layer of shellac. Although the flower I got is indeed very cute, we wont be coming back again. Update: pictures of my mani. read more

I wanted to treat myself because it was my birthday and this salon is so close to my house. I don't get my nails done often, maybe once a year so I usually pay a little extra and get shellac. I asked for that and showed her the colors/design I wanted. I belive her name was Lisa. And then she said something about a no chemical organic nail color for $10 more. So I said ok. I'm sure I should have asked more questions but I didn't. But shame on them for touting solar nails as all natural and anything but acrylic! Again, I should have asked more questions. The purple I chose is beautiful but up close the leopard print is poorly done. Several of my nails are not smooth but I'm most upset that I had to get out nail clippers in my car to fix the shape of 3 nails. Because of the convenient location, I'd love to go back but I won't because of the poor outcome of my nails. read more

Am glad to see another Yelper is as much in love with Angel's as I am. I can walk to this little salon which features great service, accommodates walk-in appointments with a smile, and routinely delivers impossible-to-chip manis and pedis. Once I walked in just 15 mins before closing and they were happy to help me out. Sweet! read more

I cannot believe how bad this manicure is! I came here today because it is close to my apartment. My nails actually looked pretty good going in, and now they look like crap! My manicure was completely rushed, and the cuticle work was a series of pulls on my skin. The male technician seemed very distracted and didn't clean up any of the nail polish. He kept looking up as he was painting my nails and it shows. I have never gotten a worse manicure in this city....ever. I get my nails done every 2 weeks, and this is by far, the worst manicure I have ever gotten in my life. Do not go to this salon. Not worth the money. Terrible. ugh, I can't wait until next payday when I can take this sh*t off my nails! I'm so embarrassed on how my hands look. I normally tip $10 per service and I left just that for the nice lady who did my pedicure. I left $0 for this manicure. I want a refund. They should pay for me to go to another salon and have my nails fixed by a professional. I'll go to my normal place from now on. I learned my lesson. read more

I want to start this review by saying, DO NOT GO HERE!!! The service was poor, and that is, to say the least! Total waste of money and I now have small bumps on the top of my right foot, which happened right after my "spa" no so spa-like pedicure. My friend and I went to get our nails done on 8/29 and the next day 8/30, they looked as if they were done a week ago. While we were getting our pedicures, they had to try and find a nail polish that was not old or dried out...should have been the 1st red flag. Then the male tech was not painting my friend's toenails all the way to the edges, there were spaces and when she acknowledged it, he became visibly irritated and let someone else take over the job but not before throwing the cotton ball down in a child-like manner. We were both upset and tried to correct their actions while it was happening but they seemed to not care. Today, I called and spoke with John and tried to explain the situation to him and how poor the quality to was and he said if I couldn't come in today, there was nothing that could be done! I am going out of town today, hence the reason I wanted to get my nails done. I told him I had pictures and he said that wouldn't show the quality...LIES...YOU CAN SEE HOW TERRIBLE A JOB IT WAS!! So, instead of him fixing the problem like a professional business owner, I know how to join the other past clients who have equally poor experiences. Also, will be writing a review on the Better Business Bureau website. I suggest that if you've had a bad experience you do the same. Business owners cant continue to take advantage of customers who work hard for their money! Signed, Petty Pedicure read more

Horrible! I was told to sit at a table but no one came to me for over an hour to do my nails. Adding a pedicure to my services would have added more time to my overall visit. I was there for 3 hours to get a full set and they were poorly done. The tech even cut my finger. I can't believe I even had to pay for that. Never going here again!! Save yourself the agony and save your money for better service & quality elsewhere. read more

Wasn't offered any upgrades on my pedicure- would've gone all out as in 34 weeks pregnant and really wanted a massage and some hot stones. The lady who did my hands was nice, but my nails look pretty bad. The dip is all over my skin and cuticles. read more

Wow, just left and I'm almost in tears because that massage was so good. Thank u so much, Chi! I'll be back

Lisa and the whole staff are incredibly friendly and take such great care of me every time I go! The prices are amazing and Lisa has made me feel so comfortable. I have recommended this place to all of my friends and family. I have had many specific requests for how I want my nails done and Lisa has done a perfect job every time! The wait times are never long and they have great color selections for gel, solar and regular polish. I highly recommend this place! read more

Was super excited to come here because of the good reviews. To my disappointment it was nothing like I expected. Maybe it was who did my nails but I am not impressed. Asked for almond for some oval some half almond. Asked her to cut them a tad shorter she is Oates they would not be long because she has to file them. Flooded cuticles so bad that the acrylic was literally overflowing onto my skin. Asked for thin nails and got an array of different thicknesses. Showed a picture at the beginning and asked if they were able to do the design said yes and when the time came she did not deliver. Looked so far from the picture I had her wipe it off because I was not about to pay for something that wasn't what I had asked for. When it was time to file my nails she answered a phone call and proceeded to file into my skin on multiple nails only to seem to give up. Nail polish is smudged and doesn't cover the acrylic completely. Mind this took 2 hours for her to do a below sub par job. She also used the electric file on the underside to try and clean up the overflow only to again file into my skin, it felt like she was mining for my soul. Must have found it because as you can see from my review I seem to not have one anymore. Wish I could go back in time and go somewhere else. UPDATE: lowered to a 1 star because day two and my nails are already lifting and polish is coming off.... DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! In the 8 years I've been getting my nails done I've never had them lift this quick. read more

Do not go this place at all!! I'm never coming back again. My gel nails for 40 dollar literally look like thick bear claws and each nail is thinner/thicker than others. Some nails are thicker than my finger itself I came out more stressful than I walked in!! read more

Extremely disappointed will not be going that I was very rushed and whenever I placed a concern nobody listen to me.

I've been going to Angel Nails for many years and within the last two years, the service has gone down hill. I keep saying I won't go back, but after yesterday's service, I will definitely NEVER go back. All I got was a regular manicure and pedicure. The lady did not even use cuticle remover. Then they charge an extra $2, I guess for the hot towels they use(not sure). They lost their best girl Chi a while back and the place has not been the same. Terrible service yesterday. Needless to say, I did not tip for the first time ever. I will not ever go back. dibgIt-marvaw-9vebce read more

I've been getting my nails done for over 25 years and Angel's is, by far, the best place to get them done. The prices are reasonable, the quality excellent and Tuan and Lisa are great owners and are very accommodating and personable.

WHAT IN THE FUCK????? This place is absolutely horrendous. Just left ... I recently took my nails off to let them breathe for a bit & found Angel's by accident today. I had a very recent pic of my nails to show the tech EXACTLY what I wanted, as well as fully explained how I prefer my nails. From beginning to end I had to correct her & re-explain what I wanted, then ended up spending 10 plus minutes of my own time filing & trying to fix crooked, uneven nails. They're not fixable. I will have to remove these & start all over. She handed me off to a male tech who painted these ugly ass things she calls nails & the polish is also terrible; bumps, bubbles, spots missing polish. Too bad I actually had to pay for these pieces of shit. ZERO STARS. DO BETTER, Angel's. read more

My current favorite "walk in at any time and get a good, cheap pedicure close to home" place. I've been there enough that a few of the ladies recognize me. The chairs are good. There's usually trashy TV on the flat screen (I've seen stuff from "Vegas' Most Sexiest Jobs" to the Kardasians [talk about TRA-SHY]). I haven't used the other services, but lots of folks seem to like to tan (no, really, people still do that--I was surprised, too!). I've always been happy with my pedicures and have had one manicure there. Last pedicure, I even got embellishments and a little blue sparkly. It was enough to make my day! I've taken several friends there and no one has been disappointed yet! read more

I second Jessica S. on another one of her nail reviews with this being my "walk in at anytime and get a good, cheap mani, close to home" place. There was a time there where I went to 7 different nail salons within a 4 mile radius of each other looking for the highest quality in nails, best service possible, and all for a reasonably inexpensive price. Needless to say only 3 made the cut. That was quite the expensive research project, and unfortunately had to go through a few bad Mani pedis before I found two that I will consistently patron. Angel's is one of them. Highly staffed, you'll seldom have to wait. That is critical! Great art skills as well as I like to get flower designs on my big toes for the warm weather. Current shows are usually playing on the tube too. Most of all, I appreciate that they have never accidentally burned my nail while filing it with the oh so scary hot electric buffer! Yikes! This combined with living minutes away and not breaking my wallet keep me smiling like an angel. read more

The water's too hot. The water's too cold. Ow dude, that's my skin not my nail. There are little gnats flying around here like the pedicure bowls are filled with rotting fruit...You just tried to kill a bug with your hand and then put your hand back on my foot. Disgusting. I should walk out right now... Oh wait, it's the end of the quarter and you send in a sub. She's more delicate and understands where the nail ends and my skin begins. She even compliments me on the bag I got in Chinatown...Things are looking up. Then we get to the massage. Anyone who knows how to give a massage knows you apply pressure to the muscle, not the bones. I try to tell her this and she says, "ok I be gentle. Don't want to make you cry." **blood starts to boil** I tell her I'm not going to cry, and then explain where the bone is and then where my muscle is...that she doesn't need to rub hard on my bones. Ugh. She asks if I've been here before and I tell her, "yes lots of times"...but I won't be coming back. In the end, at least my toes look cute...pedicures are supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable. Apparently Angel's didn't get the memo... maybe their manicures are better... AVOID THIS PLACE. read more
