This was probably my 5th or 6th time getting my nails done at Arbor. Yesterday, I called to make an appointment for 3pm. I arrived on time today but unfortunately the service was not as timely as I would have hoped. I was told to sit and wait and it wasn't until about 3:30 that somebody actually started working on my nails. Once they started, everything was great. I was really happy with my design and the woman doing my nails was sweet. I just wish my service would have started on time!

I've been coming here every two weeks for about 6 months for gel overlays. I have gotten my nails done by several techs here and have never received a less than perfect set. The owner is super sweet too! Update: A year later and I still have not received a bad set. I've done dip, acrylic, gel, and hard gel at this salon with a different person almost every time and they always turn out amazing. The pedicures are fantastic too!

I came into town for a comedy show with bestfriend all the way from Virginia. Brayden and Alex resurrected my hands and my hands feet good. My toes and hands were looking like a crypt keeper lol . Now they look blessed. Go see about my boys .The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing . Customer service was great , they were very attentive. Don't just look book !!!! And tip them well

First impression was not great, but the nail tech I had did a very good job. So I said you know what let me try again. Well second time I waited to get a new set, I paid $85 for a base coat. After getting left in the middle of my services again for someone that needed their brows done. I had High hopes for this place but this is my last time attending. I legit got up and said I will find somewhere else to go

$125 manicure

I've been to this salon many times, and while there are some skilled nail techs who do great work, my last two visits were so disappointing that I will not be returning. During one visit, the nail tech cut my finger deeply--so badly that it took weeks to heal. Not only did I have an incredibly painful wound, but my nails looked nothing like the nail art I requested. To make matters worse, I was charged full price for this experience. When I reached out to management, they would not refund me but offered to redo the nails on my next visit. I had to wait until my finger healed to return, and the manager gave me her number to coordinate. On the day I returned, the manager asked if I would allow the same nail tech to redo the manicure. I reluctantly agreed, hoping for a better experience. The nail tech was friendly and even offered to redo the nail art for free, though I hadn't asked for it. At checkout, however, I was charged full price for the manicure, with only the nail art being free. I contacted the manager again, but she chalked it up to a misunderstanding and said she'd "take care of me next time." By that point, I decided I wasn't coming back. Recently, I was in the area and thought I'd give them one last chance. I went in for a dip manicure, which I usually get. While discussing options with the nail tech, she suggested chrome since I hadn't tried it before, so I agreed. During the appointment, the tech accidentally broke one of my natural nails while removing the old dip polish. To even things out, we decided to add tips to three nails. The manicure itself was fine, but when I went to check out, the price shocked me. Manicure $50, Nail fix (3 nails, including the one the tech broke) $10, Chrome $20 (I was not informed about this additional charge), Shape $5 With tip, it came out to $100 for a simple manicure on short, natural nails. Three days later, the top coat is already chipping. I'm incredibly frustrated with the lack of transparency and the poor quality of service here. After everything I've experienced, I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend this place to anyone. (Attached: pictures of the nail art, the cut from my earlier visit, and my recent $100 manicure.)

The first time I tried out Arbor Nail Bar, I didn't like who did my nails. She accidentally stepped on my wet toenails while doing my nails but was like whatever with it. The lady who did my pedicure wasn't happy because she couldn't redo them so she had to just put a top coat on it. I went home really irritated because I spent all that money to leave with messed up toes. I decided to give it a try again asking for another lady to do my nails and I absolutely love Linh. She's very detailed on prepping my nails and shaping them. Linh will be my go to girl as long as I live in the area.

Had really wonderful experiences both times I went! Love my nails! Had ideas instead of straight references and they worked with me both times :)

Arbor Nail Bar is the best nail salon in ATX, hands down! From the super friendly and talented staff to the gorgeous and luxurious interior that is always spotless, I cannot rave about this salon enough! If you're looking for nails that look exactly like the pic you bring in, Kayla is your girl! She has done my nails for the past few months and kills it every single time. So sweet & BEYOND talented! She's also very up-to-date with the trends, new techniques, etc! I have been searching for the perfect salon since I moved to Austin back in 2020 and I'm so excited that I finally found this salon! Thank you Arbor & Kayla for another incredible experience! Can't wait to be back in two weeks!

Full set of nails done by Lee at Arbor Nail Bar.

I went in on a Sunday afternoon for a pedicure and a set of nails. I was taking care of quickly and the service was phenomenal. I had my pedicure done by Natalie and my nails were done by Lee. I provided Lee with a photo reference and she did even better than what I provided, amazing service quality work and the vibe was relaxing.

Shape was a little off today and middle fingernail crooked!

This is my favorite nail salon near my neighborhood, but some of the nail techs are much better than others and there's no way to request a specific tech/artist when you book. The lady with the glasses, I think her name is Mary? is my favorite. The guy who did my nails today took 1.5 hours for sns powder, no manicure. He didn't offer me a drink & was way too rough and slow with the nail file. I usually get oval/almond shape, which I was charged for, but they came out more round than usual. I think maybe he was new...but if you're training someone maybe charge less until they are up to the level of the other staff. It's a nice location, comfortable, owner is friendly, reasonable prices, some five star nail techs but a few 2-3 star ones too. Give customers the option to select their tech when they book! Edit: Arbor Nail Bar fixed my uneven nails, and they look great! The owner said that I can request a particular nail tech in the future if I call instead of booking online, which I plan to do. I think any busy salon could end up with some techs who aren't up to standard--I still think it would be worthwhile to give a slight discount to techs who are new/still in training, or have them test on another employee before hire. Even someone very good might be slower when they're getting used to a new salon/equipment. If you get a less-than-perfect nail tech, they will fix it! I included a picture of my not-great nails and nails after they were fixed.

Nice place. Nails started chipping after a week. For a refill to pay $100 for a week. Not worth returning!

The most expensive nail salon I've been to in ATX for a pretty subpar experience. Nickel and dimed on everything! Will not be back.

When I was first looking in the area several months ago, I took a chance in trusting a review and have not looked back. Maddison is so professional and efficient and makes you feel so comfortable during your services. She is a genuine, lively person who is incredibly easy to connect with and is always more than willing to accommodate any requests you may have. She is intelligent and informative, and is so good at the work she does. Her consistent vibrant energy has made these appointments something I look forward to now rather than dread. Thank you Maddison! The front desk staff is consistently warm, kind and professional, as well as being very easily reachable in the case that you experience traffic or need to adjust any appointment details over the phone. This center is very clean, well maintained and managed, and I have not had a single negative experience in the past 6+ months that I have gotten services here. Overall, I highly recommend this center and greatly appreciate all of the staff members for cultivating and maintaining a welcoming, clean, and professional space!

She is able to get the waxing done quickly efficiently, and about as painlessly as it can be. She's also got a great sense of humor and can hold a conversation, which adds to the experience. Camryn at the front desk is also awesome. Friendly, polite, helpful and informative without being pushy.

Since they aren't in the Domain proper, no dealing with the massive parking garages. That was a bonus! Upon arrival my friend went to the chairs while I picked a color, she did gel. They have ample color options and only downside was some were a bit hidden so you had to hunt to find the perfect one. The staff who assisted me did a wonderful job, and followed directions for what I needed done. Same for my friend she wanted her nails short, and they kept confirming the length as they went. They offer drinks, I got a water and she got a tequila sunrise. They have liners for the foot tubs and I got the Aroma pedicure. This was great as it was very relaxing and the fresh cities used really gave it an aromatic experience. Hot towels and hot stone massage and I left feeling refreshed. They weren't that busy but I could see it getting packed on the weekends. Overall great service and I'll be back! For $55 this was a great time.

They do a good job in general but the salon is kind of dirty and I've had 2 experiences where the…read morecolors I picked looked nothing like what I received. Maybe because they only did 2 coats, idk. I just don't think it's worth the price. Update: $70 gel manicure chipped the very next day.
