I went to Cute Nail Studio for a couple of spooky tats. Yes, They do more than nails! The shop is so damn cute, I felt so welcomed, and the vibe is so fun. Delisa gave me the two coolest tats with UV ink! I can't recommend her and this studio enough!! Also I'd like to note that with our new normal, cute is really taking precautions to ensure them and their clients are safe. They enforce masks, social distancing, they text you when your appointment is up, take your temp when you come in, and have you wash your hands before getting started. I am high risk for Covid so I super appreciate these precautions. 15/10 would recommend. read more

I decided to treat myself and get my nails done. Lorb did my nails and did such an amazing job! She is so talented and I loved how the floral design came out. Cute Nail Studio took great precautions which I really appreciated. They took your temp and asked you to wash your hands before getting started. Also they limited their capacity and I was able to park in the parking lot which never happens! read more

Technician was inexperienced with the Apres Gel X product and it was applied incorrectly, I addressed the issue at the time and she was argumentative. I called and left a message for the manager asking that the service be redone or reapplied and it's been over a week with no response. Meanwhile my $120.00 nail service is lifting and curling.

Pretty much the wort customer experience ever. They rescheduled me same day as my appointment from 5pm to 9:15pm. Not thrilled at the new time since my day starts at 7am but whatever - not a huge deal. I get there on time and was asked to wait. There were two people at the front without a lot to do... but after 30 minutes I had to ask for an update. After being gone a while, the front desk person said "another 20 minutes." Almost and hour wait for a 30 minute removal so I can get home at 11pm? Ummmmm No. Really awful experience. I'm tired and pissed. read more

First impressions aren't great here. Our "tattoo artist" popped in 15 mins late. She didn't introduce herself. She walked in frazzled complaining about having to go get her iPad for this appt and ushered us back to a small room. Once there it was obviously clear she didn't want to be there. After waiting an hour to get started because drawing a coffin is super difficult? We didn't feel comfortable telling her we were not confident in her tattoo abilities based on her frazzled nature. Who wants to get a tattoo from a woman that looks like she just woke up, frazzled and clearly doesn't want to be there? She ruined the whole experience. I called well in advance, made sure they knew we were celebrating something fun and I wanted to make it special for us. This place was a flop. There are so many independent artists out there worth your time. Skip the attitude over at Cute. It's been 4 weeks and I'm still irritated this woman almost ruined our day. read more

All hail the artists! This space holds ground for the most bad ass nail techs in Austin. I have seen Tia, Julie, Abagail & Kendall. All were great. If you're trying to find a place that will help rehabilitate your nails back to health, treat you with respect, use professional and sterile tools/products & over all cozy aesthetics then you must go to Cute! I haven't had acrylics since I've been coming here and my hands are grateful for it. My toe nails are strong and evenly grow out. I swear they put something in that water (you get to pick your own bath bomb)! Pre and covid procedures are pristine. Follow the rules or kick rocks. It's pretty simple and have grace with your technicians. They really want to do a great job and their time is valuable. I enjoy every moment from their front desk to the bathroom (pro tip, selfie DOMINATION moment in there)! Thank you for making me feel cute and without all that fake shit other nail salons do to act like you're special. read more

I adore Cute! The rainbow standout has such a fun and welcoming space. The nail artists are incredible at their craft and can easily follow design inspiration and bring concepts to life. Cute provides value-adds including reusable tools given to customers, nail photo shoots and a picturesque environment. Hands down my vote for the best nail studio in Austin! read more

Wow. Cute Nail Studio is absolutely incredible. My sister and I went for the first time this week and were blown away. To start, booking an appointment online was super easy! I really appreciate being able to book online. The name is very fitting- and the place itself is SO cute. It's so fun and has great vibes all around. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which is not something I'm use to at typical nail salons. I had Abigail for my manicure, and she completely exceeded any expectations I had. She's so fun to talk to and insanely talented. I'm not even exaggerating when I say I've never been so happy with my nails before in my entire life. They are so gorgeous, and I can't stop staring at them. I chose the gel simple art service, and I am so in love with Abigail's work. My sister had Tia, who also did an incredible job! We were both SO happy leaving Cute Nail Studio, which is not something we can say about the majority of the nail experiences we've had in the past. We will definitely be back, and I would highly, highly recommend Cute Nail Studio. 10/10 experience! read more

I absolutely love this place. The salon itself is the perfect combination of cute and edgy. I just love the vibe. Anyway, I moved to Texas from Los Angeles about a year ago and I've had a tough time finding a great place to get my nails done. I really like that they do hard gels here. I like that product better than acrylic or dipping powder, but that's just my personal preference. So, I started following the salon on IG and seeing the great work they do. Then I started looking at the work of the individual techs. I made an appointment with Akina and I am so happy I did. She is so lovely and her attention to detail is amazing. It's a very clean salon and they open a new sterilized kit to use just for you. They also use a kit of fresh files and buffers that they give to you to bring back on your next visit, to help decrease trash/waste. Anyway, my nails haven't looked this perfect in a few years. I'm so happy. I finally found my place! Next time I'm going to have Akina do a simple design. I can't wait! read more

Adorable & fun! So many nail places it feels the workers are treated as inhuman, subjected to harmful chemicals, not given time off, not paid enough, not happy because of those conditions. Feels like the artists are actually paid what they deserve and respected for their talent, so that feels really good and adds to the whole good feel vibe of the place. They clearly put a lot of thought into their artists, look and feel of the place, treatment of employees, it just *feels* cute and fun and nice. Cash only so take it out *before* getting your nails done, there is an ATM on site read more

Best place to get fun Claws periodt. Shout out to the Cute crew for all just be amazing. From the nail techs/artists who are always fun to sit and talk to and then privileged to be so talented to always get badass looking nails, to the staff that come correct with their look and their attitude, the estheticians that pube-whisper and skin treat to perfection, and to the owners that somehow created a place that make you forget how chaotic and scary the world is by being so positive and inclusive. If you're looking for a nail salon where you get fast nails by someone that you don't really look at and sort of just reach for Karen-realness by demanding cheap and complaining, then move on please. (Examples would be most of the 1 star reviews here). If you've been stalking the IG and excited to be unique and fully realized then go to this place. I love that me and my guy friends love going here because we feel seen as the 's we are. Thank you Cute Nail Studio! read more

I've been visiting Cute since ~November 2020, and every experience I've had has been fantastic. I am a child of the 00's, and overplucked, overtweezed, and generally abused my eyebrows. I've had multiple poor experiences with threading/waxing my brows in a past life on the East Coast. I always see Scout for my brow services (tinting/waxing), and she's nothing short of communicative and fantastic at what she does. She's an absolute pleasure to work with, and always takes the time to explain not only what she's doing as part of a procedure, but what can be done in the bigger picture to reach my brow goal. Receptionists are always personable, polite, and willing to assist. I've run a few (ie: ~5) minutes late before, and they have always been understanding with a quick call when this occurs. Note that the ATM has a max withdrawal of $200, so if you're getting services done in excess cost, you may want to visit your bank first to avoid multiple ATM charges. I no longer have to cut myself in shame bangs because I hate my eyebrows - I can pin them back proudly and love how my face looks. It feels fantastic. Thanks, Cute! read more

I love Cute Nail Studio! I drove from San Antonio because I've had such a hard time finding a nail art place that can do more than just simple line work and that can do any style or complexity you ask for. I'm probably the pickiest person when it comes to how I like things done whether it's with my hair or nails etc...and Nicolai was so sweet and did exactly what I asked for and what I envisioned! The service I got was custom nail art with soft gel nail extensions for reference. The only con is that it's a little pricey... but to me it's worth it. I got one of the least expensive options for extensions with nail art and I paid $130+tip but again it's so worth it to me. read more

Everything from start to finish was great for my pedicure!! I have skin issues and have been stressed about getting my feet done although they needed it. I messaged cute and they said "No Problem - Please come in!" I made an online appointment with Megan Foxy Claws. Walking in I was greeted by a super spunky fun person in the most amazing vintage colored jumpsuit who suggested I pick a nail color and then I was greeted by Megan. I was torn between the CBD and Flower child upgrade so Megan helped me creat a mixture of them both. The pedicure was amazing and relaxing. I'm super super happy I came in. read more

I drive past this place frequently. It's so kawaii and cute. I looked them up online and the reviews were great, woman-owned, inclusive, love it. So, I looked for a time when three of us to go in. A big ask, I know. And whoever I talked to that day was friendly, accommodating, funny, and patient. I loved it and was really looking forward to it. It was a treat I had planned for my niece and mom. My mom, in particular, was excited about it. We arrive day of and the receptionist informs us that we don't have an appointment. Um. Yes, we do. For multiple services. No, ma'am, I'm sorry, you don't. Back and forth. As you do. They sent me a text message the day of. Exactly one hour before our scheduled appointment. While I was busy picking people up and getting them ready. I smiled and said okay, but was thinking, "Um. You asked me to put down a credit card in the event we didn't show up so you could charge me the full price of the services scheduled." I get it. Respect your time. But it hit me wrong that they cancelled abruptly an hour before with no other notice so I guess MY time isn't as valuable as theirs? Then, I get an email announcing I've been rescheduled for Friday. 24-hour notice, remember? So, on Thanksgiving, when I'm with family and friends, I have to excuse myself to send the salon an email to say I will not be in. I was not happy about how our initial cancellation was handled. I won't be in again, thanks. THEN they call on Friday morning to ask why I skipped the appointment today. And I explain why I would not be coming in and that I had been really disappointed with how they handled things. Person on the phone did not acknowledge that at all. She just kept talking. Then she implied I sent the email to the wrong place. Nope. I emailed directly from their website, ensuring the address was on Congress. So, we'll be going elsewhere. And I'm one of those annoying people who tells everyone about my poor experience: in person, on social media, online reviews. You get it. Cute isn't enough. PS to the sweet young woman who ignored my comments indicating that I was unhappy. Don't ignore angry or upset customers. That's shitty customer service. Ignoring it just escalates the annoyance and then you're poised to lose a customer and/or spread bad news. You only get one chance to make a first impression and yours was extremely disappointing. read more

Their facility is very clean and well managed. I received a tier 1 pedicure which includes a design on the toe. The pedicure set up is a cute bench but unfortunately it's not very comfortable. My nail artist did a great job shaping my toes but the design fell flat for me. It was different sizes and not symmetrical between the toes. I was originally going to give a 3 star review but after only a week, I lost the gel pedicure on 2 toes. For a $90 pedicure, including tip, I expect a higher quality experience and was pretty disappointed in the service I received. read more

It's hard to describe Cute without actually using the word. Believe me, I've tried...there's no way around it. A friend gave me a gift card for this adorable nail spa (that also offers waxing, eyebrow and eyelash stuff, tattoos, and probably more things that are too hip for me to know) before I moved to Austin and I finally had the time to use it. Booking was easy online and I got all the reminders. I had to wait awhile for my scheduled appointment, but I was offered a beverage (water - still or sparkling or an Eastcider) and I read a fantastic little comic book on non-binary pronouns that was educational and funny at the same time. They clearly know how to propagandize a waiting area in a way that makes us all better people when we walk out the door. I wasn't there for some wild nail art...I actually chose to get a Brazilian with my gift card because nail art is amazing to look at on social but doesn't do anything for me in real life and I've taught myself how to do a decent mani, so a lady wax was on the agenda for this visit. Elyse was chill and chatted me up during my service, which was appreciated since I'm new in town and want to soak up all things from locals that I can. She uses hard wax and I don't know if I was just being really strong that day, but honestly, I didn't wince once or really even feel anything. She did my eyebrows, too, and again, it was quick and painless. You get a lollipop when you get a Brazilian, which is, you guessed it, super cute. I felt so comfortable with making it my new wax place, I bought a five-pack for $225 (they're each regularly $60). read more

Honestly they are just extremely slow. I made an appointment for 2:30, they were 20 minutes late to start, took an hour to take off my gel nail polish, and told me my manicure wouldn't start until 5. I have never in my life spent 4 hours at a nail salon for gel mani/ pedi?????????? I made my appointment at 2:30 for a reason... Absolute insanity that it would take 4 hours. read more

I've never been to a salon like this, and I never want to go to a different salon when I get my nails done again! I rarely get my nails done, so this was a really special treat to myself for my friend's wedding. The process isn't like a typical nail salon (you don't soak your nails!), but it's awesome and super clean (they give you the kit after they use it on you to bring back)! I went in with no ideas and Foxy Claws (@foxyclaws on Instagram) helped me through the process and was really helpful and awesome and I loved the end design we got. It also lasted like over three weeks, which was great. Like I said, I don't get my nails done often but I don't see why I would go anywhere else besides Cute! read more

Overall the experience is so so. I recently got a UV tattoo which is promoted at their shop for having but I've had temporary tattoos last longer than the UV that they had. I even had a touch up because the first time came off within a week of having it done and after doing the touch up, it came off before i even took off the healing patch. The normal tattoo is perfectly fine but the UV never stayed. The tattoo artist is awesome and a gem who was very friendly and good person. The communication is very poor. I had multiple messages not be responded to and had an explanation from the manager saying it would clear up but even after that, i tried calling to speak and told the manager wasnt in and a message would be left for them to call me. Its now been over a week and I guess they still arent in. read more
