    i absolutely loved every second i spent here. everyone was so friendly and sweet. the vibes in the salon are absolutely adorable and aesthetically pleasing. my nail tech Isaiah was not only very talented in his craft but also such a great person to chat with! he went above and beyond and my nails turned out even more amazing then what i'd imagined. i would love to come back, they have a huge menu outside of nails that i can't wait to explore!! highly recommend this place!!

    Interior - My Little Pony lives here and amazing people !

    What a great experience from the phone to the end of the service. Super clean and not even a pinch while doing a men's mani/ pedi. Christopher was exceptional and I'd highly recommend for anyone ! Give them a call and try them out - you won't be disappointed!

    Hard gel extensions popped off on days 8-10 despite me never using my hands for anything strenuous
    Erika G.

    I excitedly and happily paid around $500 to go to this salon for my daughter's birthday, and would like to submit this review as a warning to anyone thinking of doing the same with their hard-earned cash. 1. My hard gel extensions popped off of my hands around days 8-10. I am a stay-at-home mom that doesn't get her hands dirty. (Photo attached, where you can see there's no growth on my nails when they started coming off) 2. My tooth gem package was applied incorrectly (verified by multiple other professionals--photos attached.) The glue for my tooth gem was left all over my teeth, crossing over the space between my teeth like a bridge that made me unable to floss, and trapped bacteria in my mouth. When I did floss them, they immediately popped right off--which I later found out was due to incorrect application. See the gunky glue on the gems in photo attached. Another tooth gem pro described this application as "foul". 3. They don't do real pedicures, and didn't inform us of that when they charged my husband $90 for a 10 minute nothing. That's fine, but let your clients know you don't do luxury pedicures despite your more than luxurious pricing. 4. They are just plain rude on the S Congress location. I had 4 different service providers to tip, and when I asked how the tipping works, the front desk girl ROLLED HER EYES YALL (?!) and said "you just choose a percentage on your total like ANYWHERE ELSE" but then when I asked if they tip share, she said no..? Regardless, you don't treat your customers like they're stupid!! I had a good attitude and a smile on my face my entire visit there, and the employees seem miserable. 5. The girl that did my tooth gem did that cliché mean girl thing. I smiled at her when I saw her and she gave back a stank face....then when she realized I was her client, she tried to change her attitude, but still couldn't help being rude. I tried asking a question about my gems (my question was if I could pay to replace 1 out of the 4 if 1 fell off early) but before I could get the question out, she interrupted me and said there is no guarantee on the tooth gems because of SXSW. I just stopped talking because I realized it wasn't even worth it to try and come back to this woman. My husband was in the room with me, and immediately made a comment about how impolite she was when she left the room. Terrible terrible experience. For a place that charges such a premium for your visit, the least the employees can do is not act like they're better than their customers. I was so excited for this day, happy to spend the money on the experience, and went into the salon excited and relaxed...only to be repeatedly mistreated, and to find out the services rendered weren't of quality in the end. STAY AWAY.

    Had the best gel manicure from Lauren! She takes her time on each nail and we had the best chat. She is really talented and thoughtful with her craft. I will definitely be returning for another manicure. The studio is fun with bright colors and the staff are all friendly.

    We came here to celebrate the birthday of a 10 year old. When I originally made the appointment it was at the 7th St one due to me not knowing there was one on Congress. When you drive by you can't miss the storefront bc of all the pink vinyl on the window. When you walk in you get a blast of pink and I LOVE IT! The walls are painted in different colors with splashes of glitter. My daughter got a Hella Cute Gel Pedi + Simple Art minus the gel. They don't do a pedicure with simple art so this was the alternative. Christopher Navarro was who her appointment was scheduled with and he was the best. He helped her pick out the color and the stickers for her nails. I got the Hella Cute Pedicure with Tiffany DeLeon in white due to me wanting something simple. Tiffany was hilarious and we were singing along to the music of the 2000s that was playing. I will say that we had a great time and everyone told the birthday girl Happy Birthday.

    It's been awhile since I've gone to Cute but wanted to try the new location. Christopher did an amazing job! He's not only super talented but made the experience great! Highly recommend!

    They didn't it again!! I can't say enough good things about Cute on South Congress! I got my wedding nails done and I couldn't be happier. Everyone was so incredibly kind and friendly. They even played "going to the chapel" for my fiancé and I.

    ~*Cute Nail Studio*~ accurately named, staffed and interior designed:) I brought my girl here with me and we had a mani and a pedi... all of our hopes and nail dreams were indeed actualized in that glorious pink and rainbow pastel puffy good space filled with fem notions in rugs and pastel chandelier and cloudy cotton ball puffed lighting. I was delighted-needless to say upon arrival in this Kawaii Heaven. I felt so lady and majical there. Nail art and artist on point and the decor inspired me to get a pastel rainbow art and stylized eye on an opaque mint base * My girl got an opaque indigo nail job with purple ombré flames and the most delicate celestial golden star bursts. Definitely returning here and definitely upgrading to Tier 2 or 3 Art next time. Worth every penny and moment. I wish more businesses would take cues from Cute Nails and make their business space so special and memorable*

    Cute was exactly that, cute! Very fun decor. Very overpriced. I like my nails but I don't LOVE them, and it took 4 hours, so I likely will not return. Everyone knows, time is valuable... my evenings are precious to me and I didn't get home until 10pm, after my 6:15pm appointment. Not to mention I got a fill and a gel pedicure and it was $256! As someone who gets their nails done every two weeks, the speed at which I get them done is important to me. As well as precision and my nails have looked better after a 1h30 min appt.

    I looked for almost a year to find a great nail salon. Moved here in March 2021 and I had the hardest time finding a place that did gel nails. It is my personal preference and I think it's a better product than the dipping powder. But wow, these nail techs are also artists!! The nail art they do is fantastic! I follow the shop on Instagram and I'm always blown away. I'm pretty boring and I do very simple nails. The salon is also very clean, and of course, "cute", with an edge.

    Yes. There is a parking garage beside it. And there is also a shared lot with the complexes behind it.

However, this last time they messed up on my hair. For the first day my girlfriend couldn't stop laughing lol. As you can see in the photo, it is very uneven in the back. I tried calling to see if I could come back in the week to get it fixed. Their number seems to always go to voicemail and their VM says for a quicker response to send a text message. I did just that. Explaining what happened, showing a picture and asking if I could come back. 0 response and it's been 2 weeks since then.

    I tried this salon just because I liked the vibe. And I'm very happy I did!…read more I needed a haircut. Sara was my stylist. I showed her some photos of the cut I wanted. She asked excellent clarifying questions. She worked slowly and carefully. She paid attention to individual locks, getting them to fall just the right way. I had made one mistake -- I hadn't asked what the haircut was going to cost. I'm used to a haircut (including the post-cut styling) taking 30 minutes. As Sara went past the 30-minute mark and then past the 60-minute mark, I started to wonder: What is this going to cost me? $200? $300? More? After 90 minutes, she was finally done. The result was fantastic! Exactly like the photos I had shown her, and very, very flattering. I asked how much I owed her, and she said just $60! I even asked, "Are you sure?," but I certainly wasn't going to argue with her. I made sure to make another appointment with her before I left. I'm a little reluctant to tell the world what a great experience I had, because I'm afraid Sara will get all booked up and/or raise her prices! But fair is fair, she did a terrific job and I recommend her highly.

I left the next morning for the trip, so I couldn't get them fixed in time. I emailed them with pictures the next day, no response. I went back in today to explain what happened, and they offered to repair them but since I got them done for a trip that is now over I didn't really need them done anymore. I asked for a refund, which of course they do not give. After a lot of back-and-forth, they explained that this is industry standard for nail salons. Whether that is true, or not, I don't know maybe it is! However, the fact still remains that I paid for my nails to be done and they weren't done correctly and I wasn't able to come back to get them fixed before my trip. They couldn't make an exception for that which is their right, but I will never go back. They said they couldn't afford to give refunds, and I can't afford to pay for nails that aren't done right. Ivy, who I think is like an assistant manager or something was super rude about it. There was a guy manager that was way more chill but still didn't fix anything. Boo, this place! Seriously take your money and find a place you can trust.
