    Tina is amazing. She's a total perfectionist and made sure every detail matched my reference picture exactly, even going back to fix the smallest things. I asked for no rhinestones and she suggested a different option so my nails would still look like the inspo, and I'm obsessed with how they turned out. The whole staff is welcoming and attentive, but if you want flawless nails, book with Tina.

    Ombré, 3D art, and rhinestones.

    I've been coming to Aura for almost 2 years and i won't go anywhere else. Their service is un-matched and the staff here is so sweet and genuine. I get gel x and i always request Selina because she literally does my nails exactly like my inspo. She pays attention to the details and always will ask if i like certain things (shape, length, color) and if she's not available i've had other nail techs do my nails and everybody (except 1) did a perfectly good job as well. My pedicures are always great as well and they're very attentive (ask me about my drinks, details, polish etc.) Both front desk girls are super sweet when checking in & out! The salon owner/manager is always super sweet to me too. Love this place!

    I needed a regular polish change so I called Aura since I was in the Heights and they were able to take me in. There was plenty of parking out front so I was able to get in with no issues. Check in was smooth and I grabbed a polish that I wanted. However, upon closer look, I noticed the polish was watered down with acetone, which means it'll chip quicker. Luckily I brought my own polish. She did my nails well, or so I thought but after I got in the car, I noticed bubbles in my nails. I was so pissed because I had another appointment AND I'm traveling so I can't even go back to have it fixed. I really liked how clean the salon was, the friendly staff and the overall ambiance but my nails are bumpy.

    A receipt

    Charging $35 for a POLISH CHANGE??? This is absolutely ridiculous honestly. I've been here roughly 6-7 times since I've moved to the area, and everytime I got a polish change it has always been $17... I went today per usual and was told that the polish change is now $35??

    Now my go-to nail salon. Always excellent service, technicians listen to you, a light vibe inside. Not spa-like but friendly and upbeat for sure!

    Love this place! I have come here a few times before giving a review. They always will take me as a walk in or appointment. I never specify a nail tech because every person I try is good! I came in for a walk in today and Rachel did my nails. Cute design for Valentine's Day, she did them quick and perfect shape! They are always so nice and accommodating. I switch between here and Gloss Nail Bar, but Aura is cheaper and pays more attention to you! Try them out if you are close, you won't be disappointed

    Wow! What an incredible experience. I scheduled a pedi appointment for 9am on a Saturday with Helen, will be coming back to her! She was amazing and had great attention to detail, without asking she even tested the polish color on my nail to ensure I liked it! Never had such a great experience at a nail salon!! Very clean, very professional, and very aesthetic atmosphere. So cute. Love my pedi!!

    I mean I could not have asked for a better turn out... Tina started then the owner had to finish (they got busy, rightfully so) They were all so nice, even with my high expectations and asks. Reasonably priced and service was amazing. Highly recommend!!'

    andrew and henna did an amazing job on manicure and pedicure! definitely coming back aga

    Full set acrylics by Tom

    Decided to give this new nail salon a try after my friend recommended me to come here! Definitely clean and super cute place. Overall I loved my first experience with Cam she did a full set and it lasted me up to 3 weeks! She's very professional and has amazing customer service. If she's not there I definitely recommend Tom, loved how my nails turned out after my first time doing full set acrylics with him! David is also really good at pedicures, takes his time and is very detailed. 10/10 Rec give this place a try!

    What an amazing Monday! Thank you Aura Nail & Spa!

The technician blamed the issue on me for "scratching my nose" instead of keeping my hand under the light, which was both rude and inaccurate, as the problem occurred on both hands--not just the one I briefly moved. Even after the redo, the polish did not cure properly. Less than 48 hours later, the nails are still malleable and the top layer of polish is already flaking off. Although I could return to request a redo, their website notes that refunds are not offered--only corrections within a limited timeframe. Given the experience, I do not feel comfortable returning or spending additional time on a service that should have been done correctly the first time.

They spoke Spanish and laughed the whole time, which was a little uncomfortable for what was seemingly an upscale place. He worked very fast and ended up cutting my cuticle too far back, making me bleed. At the end of the service my nails (both mani and pedi) looked worse than when I walked in. He left my nails uneven, with snagged edges and wounded cuticles. The pedicure tech left the toes painted outside of the lines, uneven finish and even the tips weren't completely painted. If I hadn't been with clients I would have asked for a manager and complained on the spot. The service is NOT worth the price. Find a different place.

Everyone was very friendly and was promoted quickly to my chair for my mani. My manicurist was nice but did not seem like an expert in nails. She did not use a brush with acetone to clean up my nails and unfortunately my fault i did not really check until i got to my car. The color is beautiful but for 80 dollars for mani/pedi with regular polish i expect it to be flawless. Again partially my fault for not really looking. Also the towels, foot scrub was nice. The massage so-so. Would i come back maybe. *i do have a messed up nail thumb which does have very bad ridges but as you can see theres one spot that doesn't really have polish on it.

She takes her time, really listens to what I like and don't like, and I always walk out with a smile--feeling like a princess. She's even encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and play with some fun colors I never would've tried on my own! One thing I really appreciate is that they never make you feel rushed.

I love how they all have their own unique nail art styles and are always happy to share ideas with me--so much so that I often get inspired to try their designs on my next visit! Peri and Elsa always greet me by name and check in to make sure I'm comfortable throughout my visit. It's those thoughtful, personal touches that really stand out. It honestly takes a village to make me happy--and PAINT Nail Bar makes me happy every single time.

I was charged $75 for a refill with cat-eye polish, even though I already had my nails on. The service was just a basic fill, removal of the previous polish, and cat-eye gel. I did not add length -- I actually shortened them, which makes the price even harder to justify. For that price, you would at least expect the design to be consistent, but the cat-eye effect wasn't even uniform across the nails. The whole service felt very rushed, like they were just trying to get it done as quickly as possible. The bigger issue for me was the customer service from the receptionist, Amy. I've encountered her before at another Aura location and stopped going there because the quality became inconsistent. When I called to make the appointment, the information about closing times and last appointments was contradictory, and the tone of the conversation already felt irritated. When I arrived and when I was checking out, the interaction was very abrupt and unfriendly. There was no warmth or basic customer service, which really affects the overall experience. To make matters worse, even after being charged $75 for a rushed and inconsistent refill, I still generously tipped. At this point, these prices for the level of service provided are just getting out of hand. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.
