    Hard gel
    Holden M.

    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!

    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.)

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

    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.

    Great customer service:) , they were all very attentive and welcoming. I showed them my inspo and they did an even better job than the photo!!! definitely recommending this place to my friends and family .

    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!

    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.

    Arianna is great. I had gotten the same services done at a different salon for almost 75% more…read morecost, the atmosphere was not nearly as private, and the aesthetician was not nearly as comforting a presence. Ariana did a better job than the more expensive studio so I made an appointment for next week for a different service. Looking forward to it.

    Ok ladies and gentlemen, if you are in search of a place to take care of your waxing/hair removing…read moreneeds, look no further! I am SO HAPPY I found this place. It's a single chair salon and Arianna is who I see. Not only is this place well decorated and eye catching, but it's clean, professional, and calming. Which, if you are having someone give you a Brazilian wax makes it so much better. Am I right girls? I found this place after trying to find a new waxing boutique. I never had an issue with ingrown hairs until I went to a European Wax Center. Plus, it was way more painful than I was used to, so I had to switch. I've been coming here for awhile and am BEYOND grateful for Arianna not only taking care of my waxing needs, but slowly and surely helping me recover from my poor waxing experience. She even gave me a sample of a cream to try (I'll update this review about that after I try it for a bit) to help with the hairs as well as some tips. She does have a few select products, but I have never felt pressured to buy anything at all. This place, and Arianna, is just so great. Quick, less painful, exceedingly professional (I've been getting Brazilians for awhile but I'd definitely try this place if you are a first timer), clean, and a great value for the price. I've already told all my friends about this place. Book your appointment. You won't regret it!!
