This place is fantastic. Price is reasonable for the service you are receiving. The owner is extremely warm, welcome, and accommodating! They were so flexible with timing, which is important for me and my busy schedule. The only con is that the place is a little dirty, but nothing out of the ordinary. Perfect outing with your girlfriends, mom and some you time, esp. if you end up ordering their delicious frozen margarita! I ended up getting a dipping powder manicure and gel pedicure, which is still going strong without a trace of it going away after two weeks, which cost a total of about $70. Parking is easy, since they have a parking lot, and it's conveniently located by the Freeway and a gas station which came in very handy once I was done and realized I was vvvvery low on gas. Would highly recommend, and encourage people to try this place before it gets too crowded and known around the city. read more

Quick, well done acrylic mani and a pedi. They accept walk ins which helps me. I have severe arthritis and it's hard to make appointment so I just need to walk in when I'm feeling able to get my manicures.. read more

In response to the owner- I was respectful and friendly. Since your employee seemed disinterested and was not friendly, I put my headphones in and watched videos on my phone. After I showed you three different nail styles, you told me you were unable to do any of them. So please don't mislead people on your salon's capabilities and call your customers disrespectful. You can take the opportunity to improve your business. read more

It's disappointing but not surprising that instead of addressing feedback with professionalism, the owner chose to launch into a personal attack, complete with insults, caps lock, and emotional outbursts. Let's be clear: customers don't exist to serve your convenience. They pay for a service and when that service is inconsistent, overpriced, or delivered with hostility, they're entitled to speak up. That's what reviews are for. As for the language comment: no one said you can't speak a foreign language. But let's not pretend people can't sense when they're being talked about especially during a service they're paying for. It's not about controlling language, it's about professionalism and basic respect. This isn't a private vent session, it's a public business platform. A professional owner would know that. Instead of addressing the issue, you wrote a review of me, complete with personal jabs and petty assumptions. That alone says more about your customer service than anything I could've written. Clients don't owe you silence. And businesses don't get to retaliate when they're held accountable. You offer a service. If you can't handle critique without spiraling into character attacks, maybe customer-facing work isn't for you. This is exactly the kind of energy I warned others about. read more

I've been going to Charisma for over 4 years and have never had a bad experience. Everyone is so friendly and listens to your specific wants. Rae is amazing and always fits me into her busy schedule, and my nails always come out amazing. I recommended Charisma to all my friends and will keep coming here for a very long time! read more

I had high expectations for my deluxe pedicure but unfortunately, it was a major letdown. First off, the service felt way too rushed. The old gentleman technician barely spent any time on each step but not with much care, and the polish was applied sloppily. He didn't bother cutting my cuticles at all, which is usually a standard part of a good pedicure and manicure. On top of that, there was no massage during either treatment, which is supposed to be part of the "deluxe" experience. It felt more like a basic, rushed service than anything , For the price I paid, I expected much more attention to detail and relaxation. I won't be returning. read more

My technician was Ray! She was super friendly and easy to talk to. I decided to get a full set of ombré acrylics. These nails have lasted so long, I am beyond impressed as I'm going on 4 weeks already. Photos are from the day of service. I was surprised at how quickly this set was done. The shop is super cute and bright! read more

The worst experience i have ever had in my entire life. I went in for a full set and i showed them a picture of what i wanted. i ended up not being satisfied with my nails and kindly asked them to take it off. The guy that was doing my nails clipped them off rudely and screamed at me to leave the store. read more

So glad I came here, as I haven't had acrylic nails in years and as a nail biter it can be a challenge. All staff were warm and pleasant and made for great experience. No crooked or bleeding fingers here! Tu was great, I really appreciate the attention to detail and patience. Will be back! ***update... light color went on very very thick so I wasn't ultimately happy with the pink, went back to explain this and sat down to pay for new color while being lectured the entire time how I was wrong and they were right. I understand some of the aspects to this argument, but poor tact for maintaining customers that want to return. I returned NEXT day after paying and tipping well, and was treated to pretty unpleasant experience. read more

First timer. Place was nice, spacious and clean. Walking in I was approached by the owner, she welcomed me and asked me what I wanted. I got a full set and a pedicure & was in a chair immediately. I had decided to go with another type of nail design and about 5 minutes after, I hear the owner telling the lady who did my nails that I had no money because I looked young (or b/c I'm a student?) in private & in Vietnamese. Considering that I'm Vietnamese I understood what she said. I didn't get upset, I kinda just let it go. The woman, her name is Thu, who did my nails was real sweet and made me feel comfortable while I was there. Some of my fingers did come out uneven from the other hand but overall I like how they came out. One thing I noticed was that she measured my nails ONCE throughout the entire time, usually nail techs measure nails throughout the service to make sure they are even. The woman who did my pedicure did not cut me too deep or make me bleed so that's always a good sign. I like how she was very clean and careful with the polish so my toes came out perfect. However, she missed some parts with the topcoat on multiple toes so I can see where areas that are not covered. She scrubbed my feet for like 5 seconds, literally. I noticed that the toe color did not match my nails, which is my fault, I usually like for my nails and toes to match. She kind of got upset but asked if I wanted to change the color. I decided to just keep the color because I was gonna feel bad for making her redo everything. Now overall this salon makes me feel like I'm in the ones back my hometown. The other workers there were very nice and friendly. I want to say that I would come back again but honestly I'm not too sure. read more

DO NOT GO HERE I went here for the first time recently and had a horrible experience. This place was so unprofessional and treated my husband and I unfairly. The girl manager and the guy that sits by the front door would NOT do a service on my husband because he had sensitive skin. They were racist and discriminated against my husband and I. The guy became very aggressive with my husband and I and caused a scene in front of the entire store. We have never been mistreated like this at any nail salon in San Antonio like the way we were treated at this place. We thought we would give this place a try since we dont live far but never again! you are better off going anywhere else but this joke of a place. PLEASE REMEMBER CHARISMA NAILS AND SPA AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY NOT TO GO HERE. read more

The interior was under construction and everything looked unfinished. The nail polish they used for my manicure was a brand I'd never seen before and smelled really bad (and still does even after the shellac dried under the light). Though the people were nice, they did not speak to me but instead spoke only to each other Vietnamese. I can't help but feel like they way overcharged me; they charged $40 for a subpar French shellac and the lowest tip option was 18%... so it ended up costing almost $50. Also, they don't do military discounts apparently. Not worth the visit if you want a clean yet affordable manicure. read more

I wanted to like Charisma since they were sweet about working me in near closing. I opted for a standard polish French tip on the toes and shellac on my finger nails. The fresh fruit mani/pedi smelt amazing, yet I'm not convinced that it keep my skin moisturized as long compared to other nail places. Additionally, the pricing and social media discount was not clear. They want you to share the salon in a VERY specific way on FB or Insta to get the discount, which resulted in a random person's face on my feed. I deleted it from both platforms. Finally, the quality of the shellac was not great. I'm used to my shellac lasting well into week 3 without any major peeling, chipping, or bubbling. After 7 days, the shellac was already peeling. Next was chips on the edges. Soon after that, bubbling. The fact that the standard polish outperformed the shellac polish was interesting. I see their acrylic sets and designs, which look amazing, yet it's not my thing, so I probably will not be returning. read more

Hi there! Thank you to the business owner for responding. I apologize if my review was unclear. I was not over charged, I felt that for the price we should not have had the issues we did. It was around $400 because we tip at least 20% and even though we didn't love it, the techs did take the time and provided a service. After spending hours there we did not want to sit for another hour for polish changes and repairs. One of my daughters is learning to budget so she has her own card, maybe why our transaction couldn't be located. We were there at the very end of December and not in February. I totally understand that it could have been fixed. The point is when you pay for professional services it should reflect that in the finished product and not on the second try. What we got the first first time was not the quality we expected and paid for. We should not have to return for the issues to be fixed. I've updated my rating to reflect that they were more than willing to fix things. read more

I'm honestly convinced people who complain about the customer service, are just looking for a reason to complain. These people were so incredibly nice and respectful. I chose this place after seeing how the owner Hanh respond sooo wonderfully to the Karen who called them racist for not serving them even though her husband had a foot infection. I was willing to give them 5 stars before I even got there because of how she handled it. Service was 10/10, great prices and great service. I paid $35 for a sea salt pedicure which was great. My feet look fantastic and I will definitely be coming back since its also so close to my apartment. read more

I found Charisma Nails & Spa on Yelp. I recently moved to San Antonio & had already used one other nail technician in the area and I was not pleased with the work from the other salon. After coming to Charisma twice in a row, I have found my go-to salon. Jason is a wonderful nail technician & takes his time really focusing on what the client asks for. His skill and technique is high quality that I can wait three/four weeks in between fills. If you're going for a salon that can give you quality, this is it. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! These people will make a scene and tell you to leave if you have acne or a skin condition on your leg, even when it is due to gluten intolerance. Manager and staff made a scene in front of customers, yelling at my wife and myself and telling us to get out. All due to skin intolerance....unacceptable behavior from a place of business! The man who sits in the very front of the store is very aggressive! BEWARE! The manager and staff have "no class" and look for drama, verbally accosting customers. Using profanity, this is not a place to go or support!! read more

I am no from San Antonio so I'm very hesitant on trusting people to do my nails. However, this place was one of the best I have ever had. I paid $43 for a complete and nice pedicure. I wish I knew the lady who did my nails but I will sure be coming back. They cleaned my nails perfectly, and made sure they took their time. It was clean and everything was disinfected. After I was done I originally tipped $7 but I felt so satisfied with my experience that I tipped an extra $10. It's not easy finding salons that take the time to make the costumers happy, but this place it the right spot! read more

They looked great originally but this is the second set I've ended up disappointed in. The first i came out with bumpy nails, the second not 3 days later my nails are falling apart due to too thick of a coat, and i didn't get a top coat either. There was also drama between a customer and employee when I went so that may be why the second time wasn't great as my tech might have not been able to focus . The people are nice and efficient. It just kind of stinks read more

I've had my fair share of bad experiences in nail salons, but this one was by far the worst! Upon arrival I ask the nail tech if she did designs and I showed her a pic of what I was looking for. A shellac manicure with stripes and dots with with a little design on one nail, easy right? She nods her head not really sure if she answered my question. I wanted one nail to a different color, well she forgets and has to redo it she then to tries to draw the design with regular OPI nail polish but the design just looks like a blop at this point. I ended up walking out with my nails all polished the same color - which was after a week the shellac polish is already starting to chip. I will never return again. read more
