This was my favorite place for so so so long but unfortunately under new management and not the same at all. Each time I've come in at the time I scheduled in advance it's been 30-45 minutes past that and then the services take about 1.5-2 hours :( there are 2 techs that are amazing at manicures and the rest just unfortunately are not. Above all it's the timing / scheduling issue that is making me have to move on. Alex was so amazing at scheduling over the phone and organizing their schedule. New manager just does not have this under control whatsoever and can't afford to have to reschedule any more days because of being there for 2+ hours. read more

This place was my favorite! The owner Alex recently sold it so it's under new management. They are good but still working out some issues. Took me 2 hours to get a dip and gel manicure. Turned out pretty good but definitely not how it used to be! They also don't offer the student discount anymore :( Service: 6/10 Dip manicure 8/10 Gel pedicure: 10/10 read more

Walked into this place around 5 PM on a Friday afternoon. Luckily there wasn't a long wait and they had very friendly, accommodating service! I asked for a design and they were able to give me exactly what I wanted. I've been looking for a good salon in the downtown area with reasonable pricing and it seems that I've found it. I'll absolutely be returning and if you're looking for a great nail salon I definitely recommend it! read more

Dazzle was my favorite salon in town, but under new ownership, prices have gone up drastically. Hana and Sophia are great at manicures, unsure about other staff. read more

Shirley did an amazing job on my nails! I always get almond shape, and many nail salons never get the shaping right. Shirley did a GREAT JOB and was personable. The shaping was perfect and exactly what I wanted. Her attention to detail really showed. I will definitely be coming back and recommending her to everyone! read more

Walked in with my mom to get mani pedis. They were very welcoming. We were greeted, immediately in a chair, and started to get our nails done. Everyone was so nice and professional! This was our first time here. They did such a good job in every way and were very fast. We will definitely be back! I work with my hands a lot so my nails were in bad shape and they made them look SO GOOD!! If you want your nails done right come here! read more

I have been coming to Dazzle Nail Spa for over 3 years now consistently and it's by far the cleanest, friendliest nail salon in town! The owners always make everyone comfortable once they enter their doors by offering a variety of refreshments including sparkling water or wine and asking them what color they want for their service. If you're unsure, don't hesitate to ask Alex, he will gladly give you his recommendation! My nails are so strong from getting Dip Manicures here. I also recommend any of their spa pedicure packages, they are so relaxing! They quite literally treat me like family every time I come in and I'm so grateful I found a reputable nail salon in Austin that I can trust every time. Thank you for always letting me get creative with my colors, Dazzles! read more

Ugh! These people saved my life!! I broke my natural nail so far up that I couldn't just trim it. I've been in pain unable to do much. So I ran around downtown in full panic looking for a salon that would help me. Every single one turned me down saying they're booked. I get it, it's 6p I don't have an appointment and they wanna go home but it's one nail with regular polish. I don't even need anything special just glue or that powder thing that makes it hard. Anyways, I took a scooter all the way to dazzle cause I was determined. I walked in 20mins to close basically on my hands and knees and the young gentle man immediately sat me in a chair and like 4 or 5 other techs came over chitter chatting about ion know what but next thing I knew there was polish being slathered on and powder sprinkled. He even asked if it hurt and if I was ok. Literally my hero! Gonna go and have a glass of wine after this! Thank you Dazzle Nails! read more

I tried to be optimistic, coupled with a convenient location for me, decided to make an appointment for a regular manicure at Dazzle. Online reservation form and text confirmation was great! Upon arriving, they acknowledged my appointment and I was seated right away. When I confirmed that I was there for a regular manicure (not dip or gel), that's where the service started to decline. I asked for my nails to be trimmed but was told the almond shape is hard to accommodate with any shorter length. The nail tech decided that filing is best (a day following my appt and one nail already broke, pictured). The buffing and cuticle trim was very quick, and nail polish application even quicker. I noticed there was some cotton / stray strands but the nail tech painted right over it. I made a point to call out a black speck on my thumb to which she responded "I'll have to completely remove the color to fix." I said yes, I want it fixed. Very rushed job and then the tech told me "all done" and left. No drying spray or fan to help with the drying process. I was left sitting in the chair and checked my phone to time 5 minutes before getting up and proceeded to stand at the register to make my payment. Not sure what the typical experience is here for regular manicures but will not be returning due to my recent experience. Photos are from one day after my appointment: shows debris (bumps) mixed in the color, a broken nail due to excessive filing and color pulling away / chipping from the cuticle. read more

Dazzle Nails Spa is my favorite and go-to place for dip manicures and gel pedicures. In addition I've also gotten my eyebrows waxed and tinted for vacations. The salon is clean and the staff is nice. The owner is kind & personable, and ensures that you have a great experience! There is a parking lot that is free, and the salon is within walking distance from the rest of downtown. Whether you're in a rush or need time to relax, I highly recommend you call for an appointment to convenience yourself, but they always welcome walk-ins! They always do an excellent job and give you a reason to keep coming back for more amazing services! Highly recommend Dazzle. read more

I am from out of town and decided to come here to get a dip mani and I'm extremely disappointed with the service I received. First off I had gel on my nails and to remove it she had me soak my fingers in a bowl of acetone rather than foil wraps which dried out my nails and cuticles so bad. After the removal she didn't even bother cutting my cuticles or manicuring my fingers - I had to ask her to trim a couple really bad hangnails but the rest was left untouched. How is cuticle maintenance not standard practice here? Second, I came in with long almond nails that took a while to grow out and I asked for a slightly shorter almond shape. Without even asking me what length I wanted the woman cut and filed them down so short to these awful little uneven nubs that are not close to almond shape. As you can see from the photos my cuticles are insanely dry with cuticle skin flaking everywhere, and there's paint all over my nails and fingertips! My nails are anything but dazzling. Usually freshly done nails make me feel so pretty but these make me want to cry. read more

There was no wait, for it was very empty in there. They did an awesome job and were very welcoming!

I walked in and asked for a polish change over my hard gel nails. I reiterated saying I had hard gel on but just wanted the color changed. They said ok and asked what color I wanted. I said I wanted a to do a clear coat over my hard gel because I liked the neutral pink color that the hard gel was. She proceeded to take off all the hard gel! She did one nail and I was like ok I guess she's putting a new layer of hard gel on. My nails were a mess. Tips from two manicures ago barely hanging on, uneven shape, some nails had more hard gel left than others so they were all different shades with lines of demarcation. She then pulled out a regular OPI gel bottle and asked if the color was ok. I said no you took off all my hard gel. I want a neutral pink hard gel. She said we don't do hard gel. I was speechless. I ended up having to leave with my nails and absolutely mess to find someone to redo the hard gel she took off. read more

I've been coming to Dazzle Nail Spa since I moved to Austin, and now that I'm moving away, I can honestly say this place will be one of the things I miss the most. The owner is so kind and genuinely cares about every customer, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The staff is just as warm and attentive - they go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and happy with your service. It's not just a nail salon; it's a place filled with caring, wonderful people who truly make you feel at home. Highly recommend! read more

Dazzle is more than just a local gem, it's a community. Alex and Vanna run a salon that not only provides the BEST and longest lasting gel and dip services (~3 weeks+) in Austin--but they have created a welcoming, customer-first environment. I've seen countless acts of kindness towards strangers (like having baby gifts ready to go behind the counter for pregnant women). This is a special place and the community is lucky to have them. I have tried several top-rated nail salons ranging from downtown spas to the pricier ones and none compare to the long-lasting and high quality manicures and pedicures I've received from Dazzle. I can't recommend enough! read more

Absolutely love! Such a hidden gem. They are efficient and so friendly. I wanted a lighter version of a color they had but they didn't have the lighter color. They immediately said they could make it by mixing the nail polishes. You can tell they want their customers to be happy! Could not recommend enough! read more

This spa's service was so bad it's really funny when I think back on it. I was clearly on a work video call and holding my phone while my pedicure was drying. I had not asked for a manicure and my friend had been waiting for half an hour next to me for her mani/pedi - her feet were soaking but no one had done anything for her. The obvious thing to do was to work on my friend's nails. Instead, the technician made me switch my phone to the other hand so she could give me the roughest and sloppiest manicure of my life while I was on my call. My nails were so ragged at the end. I had several hangnails. There was still dirt under my nails. When I went to pay, I told the cashier this was the worst manicure of my life and she said nothing. So $18 for a lesson learned! Never coming back. read more

I felt pressured into not getting what I wanted. My nails are bumpy and an odd shape. Not happy.

I came in needing a quick gel manicure before my flight and Ivy got me in and out in under 30 minutes!! I'm beyond impressed with the professionalism, kindness, and speed!! Will definitely come back and totally recommend ! The atmosphere was quiet, calm, and really an overall enjoyable experience! I've never had such a quick manicure read more

Been going here for about 2 years and always had a good experience, but I had one of the worst manicures of my life today. I was stressed out and almost in tears the whole time. Which besides walking away with a manicure that looked sloppy, the stressful experience defeated the purpose of going to the salon to relax. I asked for a basic rounded shape and looked down after a few minutes and my nails were literally triangles - such a weird, unnatural shape. I did ask to fix the shape and the girl kept filing them down more, making it worse. She seemed upset / frustrated that I was unhappy, but I was genuinely so nice and timid asking. Another girl / manager came over and I showed her the shape of my nails and she tried to salvage it the best she could. I really appreciated the effort to try to fix it, but I still walked away with a pretty mediocre manicure. Such a bummer because I do like this place! read more

I was in the area and needed to get my nails done for vacation m. I found this nail salon on Yelp and decided to give it a try based on the reviews. It was busy but I was acknowledged when I first walked in and didn't wait long. One thing I liked was I unsure what color to get and let the tech know what the occasion was he helped me choose and few colors and then match them based on my skin tone through his expertise I could say it made sense. And, even when I changed my mind and went with another color he was nice about it, saying he wants me to be happy. I would definitely go again if I were in the area. read more

I moved to Austin almost 2 years ago and tried out a few nail places before Dazzle became my spot! I usually get my nails done every 3-4 weeks and my nails last forever. They don't crack, they only grow out. I am usually fairly picky about how they shape dip around my cuticle because as they grow out, my hair gets caught on the edges (if you know what I'm talking about then you know...) The woman who does my nails at Dassle does them perfectly and I have never had an issue with that! Dazzle has been great to work with. They do take walk-ins, but they also honor appointment times. I usually just text them to see when they're available, which makes scheduling so easy! Dazzle has an incredible color selection for any kind of polish. It seems like they can accommodate pretty much any kind of request. They even hosted my friends and me when we all came to get our nails done before my wedding. The manager made sure he had enough employees there to do all the girls nails at the same time and even brought in some snacks for us! We had the BEST time. If you're looking for a go-to nail salon in Austin, this is it! read more

Updating my review and very sad to do it. I was really hoping this would be my new go-to but I don't think this is the case. My nails didn't last a day before chipping. And it didn't stop there. They have chipped a ton and broken super easily, not even a week since I got them done. I haven't had this problem with any other salon that I've tried recently, so I don't believe it to be because I'm hard on my nails or anything. I'm so sad and disappointed Sorry Dazzle, but it's not cutting it. read more

Have been here twice already for pedicures and really enjoyed my experience both times! The prices are very reasonable. I love love love how clean this place is, especially the fact that it's spaced out to not be crowded like some nail salons can be. Tina took care of me both times and really took her time on foot care / massage even before painting the colors. Even painting them, she made sure that everything was perfect! The service is definitely one of the best (from Tina) and keeps me wanting to come back! My feet had some blisters that were still healing and she made sure to work around them, even put on bandaids for me afterwards (,: (Also a plus that there's a parking lot in downtown) Will come back to get my hands done soon. So glad I found this gem of a place. Thank you Tina! read more

I'm really sad to post this as I've been to Dazzle many times beforehand and had great experiences, however my last experience was the worse manicure I've ever had so I felt I needed to say something. First of all, I made an appointment for 3 people at 6:00pm, and we showed up at 5:55pm. All 3 of us were sat, but they only started on my nails first and didn't get to one of my friend's pedicures until 6:30pm, and our third friend didn't get her manicure started until 7:00pm. A full HOUR after our appointment time. This let two of us to have to leave early because we had dinner plans and our third friend to Uber home by herself. Second of all, my manicurist was very sloppy. He did not trim my cuticles at all, and even filed the side of my thumb so hard that I started bleeding. When I pulled my hand back and said it hurt, he pulled my hand back into his hand and said "just a moment almost done" and continued to aggressively file my thumb until it started bleeding. When my manicure was finally done (I got tips for my honeymoon), I noticed the tip on the right thumb was glued to the middle of my nail, and there was a HUGE gap between my nail and the tip (see picture and video). I told my manicurist, and he took a look and told me he doesn't see what the problem is, and my thumb is the one with the problem, not the manicure. I was VERY taken aback by the response and said I've gotten tips over 100 times in the last decade and have never had this problem so I don't understand how my thumb is the issue here.. he then refused to fix my thumb and I had to get a manager over to look at my thumb before she confirmed that the tip was glued to the middle of the thumb. What is even worse, is that the manicurist was seemed very mad at me for every bringing something up. And spend the entire time I was getting my nail fixed yelling across the room at the manager who had to fix my nail. Is made me and my friends feel VERY uncomfortable and I am very embarrassed I brought them to Dazzle. I am only giving two stars because I have had good experiences previously at Dazzle, but it is highly dependent on who you get. read more

Update : My friend Ava just came back from this salon with her foot bleeding.. she said it's super painful Hi Alex , Ruby says you were one that rolled your eyes and told her to leave .. super unprofessional My friend ruby , has been a loyal customer for over a year and has given them so many chances. Over 4 times she's left with bloody fingers .. and the women who is the husbands wife told her to get out/ escorted her out. The man who did her nails, Henry was coughing all over her and wasn't trying to cover his mouth. He would get mad at her when she would wince or say that hurt. In the end they all were speaking in their native language and she had no idea what was going on and was super uncomfortable and apologetic. They essentially said who cares see you next time while rolling their eyes. To this day she talks about how awful it was and less then a week her nails started chipping. Ruby and I do not recommend this place. read more

I've been going to get my pedicures and occasional manicures here for over a year now and have always had a great experience. The staff are very nice and always accommodating. I usually book an appointment or go during off peak hours. The shop is always clean and they use sterile equipment. I always get a pedicure here and the polish lasts a long time. I love the foot scrub as well. Occasionally I get a shellac manicure or regular manicure. I like the way they do their shellac manicures. They use Opi and have other brands as well. Prices are reasonable. The owner is usually there and greets your at the door. They have a small beverage selection for sips during your service. Overall a nice place. read more
