    white polka dot nails

    The man who did my nails did a great job! Last salon i went to made them too thick, crooked and they stuck upwards for some reason. I let him know my past issues and he did them perfectly. For acrylic nail tips plus the design total came out to $75 (without tip) which i feel is avg austin price.

    Quarantine nails.... before. lol

    I always have a good experience. everyone is so nice! I'm a very picky person and I shake a lot of hands so my nails need to be perfect. I show them a picture and they get it done for me. They have a bar with alcohol and non alcoholic drinks. Occasionally, they will have a special where they even offer treats. Very clean, nice, and quiet. I will be coming back. Thanks Diamond Nails!

    The nail lady i had was very sweet and kept up the conversation. My nails came out OK and i had a inspiration pic but they basically did my nails nothing like them except for the black french. She was really rough on my cuticles and blamed that my cuticles were dry and that's why theyre bleeding.. (been to a nail tech before and there was little to no bleeding) my cuticles were sore for 3 days. i needed to get my nails done last minute so that's why i came here but it was 83 dollars WITH a discount and no tip....

    My pedi's are always amazing. Lena massages my legs just right & does an amazing job.

    Lena is amazing! I always come to her. Always great service with my main's, pedi's & brows.

    I've been coming here for YEARS. Probably 8 years or so. I've experienced many nail techs and I have to admit - I just had the BEST manicure so far. True is one of those nail techs that are really detail oriented - and not just aesthetically, but functionally too! From years of acrylic application, my nails took a beating - they were super brittle and breaking so easily. I decided to no longer do acrylic and wanted to go back to gel manis, but my nails weren't strong enough (got them done at another salon). When I walked in, True listened to me, and immediately went to problem solving. She suggested polygel and she understood that eventually I'd like to nurture my natural nails back to health - and hopefully get them super strong again. Until then, she's got me on a polygel plan. I was very impressed at how she applied the polygel, talked me through the steps she was doing, and also just being someone I could chit chat with All in all, this manicure is CLEAN. Perfectly straight nails, cuticle work, consistent gel application, and shape is A1. Totally coming back!

    A literal chop shop. I can't stress this enough. I asked for a dip manicure, they knew they would have to dip my fingers in community dip powder. My cuticle was literally picked apart. I'm shocked, it just kept bleeding and I was told "wash your hands". I washed my hands and then just left...like... I just...yall, look at this photo. Suffice to say, I did not let them finish. I recommend you just find somebody else to do it, I doubt their certs are valid.

    My favorite spot for the best nails in Austin since 2013. They have the broadest selection of colors and finishes (even a wide range of colors in acrylic, which is great for me having super weak nails), and Livia is the most exquisite artist I've encountered - she can create any design or technique you bring with the most meticulous attention to every detail. Hana and Brian are two other lovely artists. BONUS: I can normally wear my set for 3+ weeks which is such a treat when needing to spread my budget.

    I went for my first time recently and had a good experience. It took a bit for them to take me even though I had an appointment but overall, my nails turned out beautiful, they also have a really great color selection for both Dip and Gel. Annie did my nails and my friends and I will be going back to her again next time. She was very accommodating and diligent.

    Yay! Diamond Nails has reopened and just in time for a summer pedicure! With quarantine measures relaxing, I appreciate the extra efforts they're going through to keep customers and staff safe and comfortable. All manicurists and customers wear masks, and only every other station is in use, allowing sufficient distance for safety. The nail stations now have a plexiglass partition to separate the customer and manicurist. An opening at the bottom gives access to hands and lower arms (for that nice massage you don't want to miss!) When I was at the drying station, I watched Mai (my manicurist) meticulously clean the manicure table and the pedicure station we had used. The place is sparkling. I was equally impressed with my beautiful manicure and pedicure. Good job, Mai! Now, let me slip into some of those summer sandals and show it all off!

    Best mani pedi in life!!

    Came here while visiting Austin and had my nails done by Kim Lee. It was the first time I tried dip powder and let me tell you, it was amazing! Not only did she do a beautiful job on my nails, but also, they lasted 5 weeks. The only weird thing was when I asked if I could have her number in case I'm back in Austin, she said she had to ask her manager, and the manager said no. This is very unusual in California, and I have no idea why the manager things she has the right to determine that. If I go back, and Kim no longer works there, I'm not gonna stay anyways so... anyways it was weird.

    Update 6/20/22- This salon recently got bought out (or so I assume). All of the original staff was let go and my fill with a designed increased in price from $65 to $145. The new staff has not been friendly so I no longer recommend this salon. 11/21- Pure luck! when I moved to ATX I needed a new nail salon and was scared to try anywhere. I ended up at Diamond Nails and haven't left! Sonny does my nails every 3 weeks and is great with every design I show him. I recommend making an appointment every time as they are very busy and the wait times can be long.

    Nails by Huy. I'm in love.
    Felicia F.

    So, I have been 'shopping' for a new nail Solon. I think I found it! My tech was Huy and boy was he nice! This place is affordable and also clean! They were busy at 10 am on a Friday (yes, an appointment) but I witnessed 2 walk in's. Diamond Nails took them without missing a beat. Amazing. Check out my digits.

    What I got
    Ugochi E.

    These people are not good nail techs and they are rude on top of that. I tried to call ahead and give them a picture of what I wanted beforehand. They asked for my number so I could text the picture to someone and never heard back. I called again only to find out they never scheduled my appointment . So, I get there and this man is aggressively filing my nails. It's as if my fingers and him had an inter generational family fued and this was his chance to exact revenge. Not only was he handling my nails so roughly. He did not have the proper colors to give me what I asked and didn't say anything until I noticed the color was off. Then, he says they don't carry this color. I wish he would have told me before because I would have changed the style I asked for. Long story short, I was not satisfied in any way and I got charged to extra dollars for asking them to put another coat of polish on my big toes because I could see through the polish after 3 coats.

    Ask the Community - Diamond Nails

    How can I make an appointment?

    You can call, but they probably won't actually keep track of it or will overbook and rush on you, so you may as well just walk in.

    How much does a gel manicure cost?

    $35 for basic gel manicure or $53 for deluxe gel manicure (deluxe has cuticle cleaning, trim, shape, exfoliation, mask and 15 minute hand and shoulder massage)

    How much is for dip powder on regular nails and taking of acrylic nails?

    $45 for dip. Not sure on taking off acrylic.

    I've been a longtime patron of European Wax Center, like 10+ years overall and at least 5 years at…read morethis specific location. The waxing itself is great; I prefer hard wax and appreciate how efficient the appointments are. I've worked with several, more senior specialists over the years, and they've all been great, friendly aestheticians. I've also had great service booking by phone or online. That said, I'm pretty sure I just had my last appointment, and the reasons have nothing to do with the quality of the service (hence why I'm still giving 5 stars). The reasons are more about how the business is run: 1. High Turnover. It's not a good sign that these facilities run through aestheticians. If you find someone you like and trust, it's highly likely that person will leave within about 2 years. Find another person, same thing. Rinse and repeat. 2. Treatment of Women. For this to be a place that primarily serves women, I've continued to hear about European Wax Center's less-than-ideal arrangements for female staff. No maternity leave? No flexible work schedules for new moms? I'll take my business elsewhere for the time being, but I do hope the owners/managers of these locations will take this feedback to heart and make some improvements.
