I have been using Kathy and Tony for my pedicures and acrylic nails for seven years. They are both fantastic and I rely on them to take care of my nails because they are highly skilled nail technicians that do a thorough Job at a very good price. This Salon is Always Busy so when I noticed there were two new nail techs when I went to my appointment today, I was pleasantly surprised. It was great news to discover that Tai is Kathy's Brother and he brought his wife, Tammy to work at the Salon as well. This is GREAT NEWS because Fairy Nails is always crowded and they needed more Nails Techs. I watched both Tammy and Tai working on walk in customers and they are BOTH VERY SKILLED. I totally recommend Fairy Nails to anyone looking for an extremely Clean and Professional Nail salon. Although Tai and Tammy are new to this Salon, they are experienced and very skilled at their jobs. The entire Salon is extremely friendly and treat each customer special. I will always use Fairy Nails and recommend you give them a try. They are conveniently located in the Mission Oaks Center near the intersection of Blanco and Bitters. Their prices are also very good. You should try them. Techs, Tai and Tammy because kills are read more

They do pedicures fine but if you are overweight, one of the guys will look at you rude every time you get in their old crappy pedicure chairs. Mind you, I'm not 600lbs. I'm just big. But the chairs are old and creak when I get into it. The first time, maybe it wasn't me, I thought. The second time, ok this guy has a problem. The third visit, and it will be my last, he shot me a look and I shot him one back. Later, I heard him "playfully" argue with a lady about her nails trying to upsell. When I left, he- super fake- told me to have a good day. I'll never go back. He's got a problem. I'd hate to think what he was saying about me in Vietnamese. read more

Always fast and long lasting nails I've been a few times and they always last over a month ask for Steve he is quick and his wife does the prettiest designs. Very good vibes read more

My father in law and his best friend had an appointment , but unfortunately, they were turned away and treated unfairly. Despite having an appointment, they kept seeing other people being attended to while they were ignored. The staff cited 'lack of staffing,' but it was clear they had the capacity to serve other customers. This behavior felt discriminatory, and none of my family will be returning. Very disappointed by the lack of professionalism and respect. Clearly this was a sign of racism, being they were two black men. read more

I've been a customer at Fairy Nails for years. At first I was just having the most basic nail services but in 2019, I started having Christy (one of the owners) do fancy nail designs. She's very talented and can copy many cute things if you bring her a photo. I get a dip, then she freehand paints the images I request. Every now and then I need some kind of fix (I've broken a nail, for example) and they will fix it for me for free. My nails typically last about two weeks before the growth is enough that I want it redone but I have gone longer. My pedicure typically lasts about a month, so I end up with every other nail visit needing both. The salon went from a much larger one before the pandemic to one with just four techs, so it's better if you make an appointment, but they will try to fit you in if you walk in. Photos are of designs I've had done. read more

First of all ; OUCH Girl, I am still SHOOK while typing this. The "nail tech" began on my first nail and before finishing the second nail, sliced my skin with the drill bit. My finger bleeds. "This is painful. Can I speak with your manager?" she tries to avoid that. She then removes her mask with a smirk and a face that says "here we go again" She's telling the other employees and manager but they're all shaking their head saying "no". Manager walks up to me says sorry accidents happen and they simply want to keep customers happy. So I ask , "well what can you do to make this right? this is unacceptable." Manager: "if I give you a discount I have to give everyone a discount" My response : " so what you're saying is your cutting slicing everyone fingers?" :/ He began arguing with me that if he gave me a discount everyone would come in asking for a discount lol I don't know why he was so defensive. Easily could've offered a 10-15% discount. I felt like I was arguing with Mr.Krabs No thnx , I work too hard to be treated like an annoying customer by rude staff. Go to Miracle Nails, You won't regret it. They even gave me a bandaid at the other salon read more

I'm crying.. I might super emotion right now but gosh it's so upsetting :( I hardly ever get my nails done so it's really upsetting when they do NOT turn out the way I asked. I am not the type to speak up however I did this time and he still did not achieve the look I was asking for. Photo 1 is what I asked for but with a white tip instead of the color photographed. The rest of the photos is what I got and there is so much discoloration in the white :( I cried because Im the type of person to still tip regardless and I did tip but it's upsetting that I left without what I asked for :/ read more

Amazing place clean and very accommodating! Even had a glass of free wine! pretty adorable for a very clean and pretty salon

My new nail spot! I had an old favorite but the service and quality here has me driving a little further for some pampering. My go to is shellac for my nails. I love how my nails have come out there. Also you get a friendly greeting and will get asked frequently if you need anything. I went in today for the works and left loving the end result. Also the color is exactly what I wanted. read more

I absolutely love it here at fairy nails! The owners are friendly and make me feel welcome. They remember my name and provide the best personal experience with every pedicure. I receive consistent superior customer service every time I am here. I've been coming here for 4 years. During covid they don't seem to be missing a beat in their great service. They are sanitizing after each customer, using face masks and gloves (and ask each customer to wear their mask and to wash their hands upon entry. They check temps and survey each customer for possible exposure. They even have these wooden frames with plastic windows to place between customer and employee. Always 5 stars from me! I'm never disappointed. read more

I was very disappointed in the behavior of the owner. His behavior was so irrational. I had been to see him twice and both times felt like he wanted to talk me into more expensive treatments or didn't approve of my choices. The 3rd time he waited on me (I knew I shouldn't have gone back to him but I was needing my nails done on a Sunday- I knew they were open- he did ask for me to come back- so I did. He made me feel as if I was a bother to him). I accidentally bumped a nail and he literally fussed at me, others heard him, it was so uncomfortable. I thought he was joking so I laughed - thinking he would to....nope... he continued to fuss and made such a big deal out it. There is no way I would go back to him. The first two visit were hard but I thought I would give him another chance. Silly me. There are other places that treat their customers so much better than this man- don't waste your time. read more

I would give negative stars if that were an option! The lady (dark hair wore glasses) who did my pedicure refused to tell me the different pedicure choices when asked and did what she wanted. She didn't get all my original polish off, cut my toe when she was using the cuticle tool, poured polish remover in the open wound, didn't turn the massage chair on and slapped the new polish on where it looked like a first grader painted my toes. She rushed through the entire process. She was exceptionally rude and what was supposed to be a relaxing pedicure took 20 minutes. I will NEVER be back! read more

If you are looking for some pampering..these people know how to treat you like a queen. I went with a friend for some girl shopping/nail therapy time and I think I found heaven! We were walk-ins and even though they were busy they got us to our pedi-chairs fast. After being helped into our massage chairs, we were given strawberry margaritas (they had several options I believe) and some wonderful foot massages and beautifully done toe nails. After relaxing in our massage chairs and finishing our margaritas, we got our fingernails done and they did an outstanding job on my French tip shellac and my friends acrylic nails. After everything I would say the price was reasonable and about the same as most nail salons, but that little bit extra with that top knotch customer service makes them stand out above all other salons I've been to in town. The manager and techs are very friendly and always work hard to make your experience a relaxing paradise. read more

Update: still will never set foot in this place again. The quality just isn't there at this shop. So many better options just on Blanco alone. While he was detailed -detailed meaning he took awhile- it's still poor work. The owner mentioned only first timers to his shop have troubles or complaints about the work and that his clientele is 99% repeat customers. I'm convinced if those repeats went to even a half decent shop they too would never return. read more

Fairy Nails - Leslie is amazing! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I went here to get my nails done for my vacation tomorrow. The owner did my nails and I am not happy! The cuticles were not cleaned up, he left a huge gap from where my acrylic ends and my cuticles. It is even lifting on one finger. I called him to ask, very politely, if he could fix them. He got hostile and told me I did not know what I was talking about, but reluctantly agreed to fix them! I am scared to go back and have him fix them. I went to this place because they were highly rated on Yelp. And I know what you all are thinking, why didn't I noticed when I was there instead of an hour and a half later? I was in a hurry. However, it should not matter. read more

This is my first time ever to download and create a profile on yelp just to leave a review. I walked into the salon and it was crazy packed. I was very skeptical of staying because even though they say 5-10 mins it usually means more like 20-30. I replied with a umm well how about I'll just come back. Then a women that was getting her nails done said said you should stay if he say 5-10 he means it. He is not lying trust him. I chose to stay not even 10 mins had past I was already soaking me feet in warm water. Oh and drinking a delicious margarita. This was the best experience I've ever had.. trust me I get me nails done ever 3 weeks so I've been to plenty of salons. I would suggest everyone to come check this place out!!! They are simply amazing!! I can not wait to go back:) read more

Fairy Nails - Thank you Ben for your amazing work! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great customer service! They have been my go to for years! They are quick and always do a great job!

Unprofessional and Horrible experience!!!!'had my nails ruined!!! Needed fills but shop didn't carry my color powder so I agreed to get shellac and be on my way to a very simple shorter nail with slight point which I had a picture to explain ...a picture paints a thousand words right, you would think!! Owner gets loud comes over, then wife come over then it becomes a family argument in front of all the clients !! After I explained to tech she cut too deep into pointer nail including that she almost cut my skin as she filed down with both drill and file, I let her know she went too deep and nail was ruined but the entire shop decided they weren't going to have that and created a terrible scene I videotaped the scene simply because it became so uncomfortable I felt unsafe! See for urself how awful my teeny cracked nail looks as oppose to the rest of my nails!! Then to add insult to injury the screaming wife wants to demand payment for clear powder and the time they took to ruin my nail?!' I'm filing a complaint to the BBB for harassment after that they are told they did a botched job!! I think they feel if they get loud and berate you long enough Making you think you did something wrong they can shut their clients up and take their bad service?? I am embarrassed for them. I had had enough trying to be patient and calm they insisted in yelling and screaming all kinds of blame at me. I was out of there while the wife kept yelling her her license plates on the phone trying to get me to pay for a botched job? She should be asking how I can be better served or apologize for the wrong but instead they took the defensive route Unbelievable. read more

I had high hopes for this salon after reading the reviews. My manicure was not great. There were signs of my last nail polish still left on the sides of my nail bed and my cuticles should have received more attention. But the worst part is the painful new wart I contracted as a result of my my first. Will definitely not be returning. read more

I recently moved to San Antonio and needed a new nail place and Fairy Nails did not dissapoint. Their pedicures range from $25 -$45. I chose a $35 deluxe pedi because I really needed the lavender exfoliation and oils for my heels, plus I couldn't resist the sound of Hot towels and a leg massage. They offer you a complimentary drink from Margarita, wine to water. The massage chair was very relaxing and the lady doing my pedicure was amazing. She was very thorough and I didn't feel rushed even though the place was filling up quickly and women were waiting. I also loved that the water you soak your feet in was very hot and the towels were super hot as well, personal preferences but these were the norm here. Overall luxurious spa quality for bargain prices, I'll definetly be back! read more

I have been coming to this nail salon for years out of convenience, but NO MORE!! The salon manager Steve is rude, obnoxious, sarcastic, and VERY unprofessional. I kept returning because his staff was nice and I would ignore the obnoxious manager. However, I noticed he told his staff today to make me wait and take another customer ahead of me. This guy has no clue how important repeat customers are and I'm happy to take my business else where. BEWARE of the rude/obnoxious salon manager- Steve. read more

Never again will I come here! When I arrived they quickly sat me down and started without me even picking out a color for my manicure. I felt very rushed and I am not satisfied with the color I selected. The man didn't even acknowledge me the whole time he was doing my nails and I felt like he kept starring at the door to see who was coming in. I will not be recommending this place to any of my family or friends. read more

This place did a HORRIBLE job on my pedicure. The man barely scrubbed my foot and the water was cold the whole time, no matter how many times I asked them to turn the heat up. On the nail polish, so many areas are missing polish completely. In the picture I know I have short nails but he barely got half of nail with polish. For the manicure I got dip powder and I kept having to ask the woman to make the nail shorter, more even, or more of the shape I wanted because she wasn't doing what I asked. It also seemed like she was getting annoyed with me the whole time. The fingernails ended up not being terrible but they honestly weren't the best. They also never pushed any cuticles back once, and I know some people don't like that but I do :P. Overall, I'll save my money at another place. read more
