You know that is time for a pedicure when you cuticle bed and nail polish lines forms a big gap. Monica was able to fit me in with a quick appointment for a pedicure. After choosing my color, we were off to the pedicure races. Glos + Glow Nails is a cute, modern nail salon with a welcoming vibe. The space feels open and inviting. Monica, my nail tech, was super personable, friendly, and humorous. She painted my nails a periwinkle color. I was pleased with the final outcome. read more

I struggled with writing this review because this wasn't just a random appointment I booked for myself. My daughters gifted me a head spa experience at Glos + Glow for Mother's Day. They know I spend most of my time taking care of other people, other people's pets, businesses, responsibilities, and all the little fires life throws our way. Their hope was simple: for a few hours, someone would take care of me for a change. I wanted so badly to love this experience. Let's start with the positives. The facility is impeccably clean. Not "spa clean." Immaculately clean. The restroom, treatment rooms, common areas--everything was spotless and well maintained. The staff was polite when interacting with me, and when I mentioned I was cold during the treatment, another blanket appeared almost immediately, which I appreciated. I arrived about 15 minutes early for my appointment, checked in, and was escorted to the treatment area. The space itself is calming and aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, things became uncomfortable almost immediately. As another guest and I were settling in for our treatments, the two technicians entered and began preparing. The technician assigned to me repeatedly complained to her coworker that my appointment was "TWO HOURS." Not once. Not twice. Repeatedly. Maybe she was having a rough day. Maybe she didn't realize I could hear her. But when you've been gifted a relaxation experience and the first thing you hear is someone lamenting the amount of time they'll be spending with you, relaxation becomes difficult. From that point forward, I felt less like a guest and more like an inconvenience. The scalp massage itself was pleasant. The shampoo portion was probably the strongest part of the experience. However, I wasn't particularly impressed with the lymphatic drainage or gua sha massage components, which felt robotic and lacked the level of care I was expecting from a premium service. I also think it's important to mention something for those with hair textures that may differ from the salon's typical clientele. My hair is wavy on top and much curlier and coarser underneath. The products used seemed better suited for finer hair types. By the end of the service, my hair was detangled thanks to an additional product they applied before blow drying, but it wasn't particularly soft, moisturized, or shiny. I don't believe the products were poor quality; I simply don't think they were the best fit for my hair texture. One thing I also noticed was the timing. My appointment was booked as a two-hour experience, but it did not feel anywhere near two hours. I didn't sit there with a stopwatch, but it was noticeable enough that I questioned it. Then came the pedicure. And unfortunately, this is where the experience completely fell apart for me. My daughters had added a pedicure to my gift, and I selected a basic service. I didn't want polish. I simply wanted my feet cleaned up, rough skin removed, and my nails trimmed and buffed. I've had many pedicures over the years. This was, without question, the worst one I've ever received. I had spent nearly two years carefully growing out an ingrown toenail on my right big toe. After a lot of patience and discomfort, it had finally reached a point where it was growing correctly and no longer causing pain. When the technician began working on it, I immediately told her not to cut it a certain way. She assured me she knew what she was doing and would fix it. She did the exact thing I was worried about. The following morning, I woke up in significant pain and found myself right back where I started, facing the same issue I had spent two years correcting. To make matters worse, my feet didn't look noticeably improved when I left, and my toenails looked uneven and poorly shaped. The hardest part of writing this review isn't that I spent money and didn't enjoy the service. It's that my daughters spent a considerable amount of money because they wanted to do something thoughtful for their mom. I haven't even had the heart to fully tell them how disappointing the experience was. When they recently suggested booking another head spa treatment for my birthday, I quickly steered them toward looking at other places. I genuinely wish my experience had been different. The facility is beautiful and clean. The concept is wonderful. The staff was polite. But between hearing my treatment complained about before it even began, leaving without feeling relaxed, and having a pedicure that actually created a painful problem I'd spent years resolving, I can't justify the cost and I can't personally recommend it. I sincerely hope others have better experiences than I did. read more

Glos + Glow - I just don't think a freshly pedicured foot should look like this. My toenail looks awful. - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I seriously don't know how this place only has 3.5 stars when it should be 5 ! This is one of the best nail salons in all of Austin TX. I came for a pedicure and a manicure and the attention to detail on both was impressive. The staff is so friendly and makes the experience enjoyable. Highly recommend checking out especially for a Russian Mani (mine lasted over 6 weeks - see photos below!) read more

This is a nice place and my tech Ann provided the best massage I've ever had with a basic pedicure. But there were some things I didn't love. They switched my pedicurist after starting ( delayed my finish and frankly is insulting ) and there is a definite pecking order vibe here. Sort of a mean girl vibe. Not sure I'll go back. read more

Head/neck spa treatment! Went for my birthday and don't regret it. Great atmosphere. Relaxing. Absolutely amazing: 10/10 Will do again!!!! read more

Very thorough, Mae was amazing!! The overall vibe & aesthetic of the head spa was so relaxing, the facial made my skin feel brand new. Mae genuinely cares about her client's hair and face experience. She is so sweet and helpful! She did hair masks and dried my hair straight- just the way I like it! Will definetely be coming back to see her! Love this place read more

As if being a single father is difficult enough I walk into this establishment astonished at the decor but it's too bad they can't have the same level and expectation in the customer service department. Walked in with my two daughters just looking to get their nails painted waiting in the lobby with ONE other customer at 10:59 am (prior to opening to beat the rush) just to be told we can't be seen Because they are all busy and booked.... I'll paint my own girls nails 1000x WRONG before I come back here! read more

Glos + Glow - Ironically the trash can is in the picture - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is a great place to have a mani/pedi. I found the staff to be very friendly. I came at a slow time, so I was able to have both at the same time. At no point was I pressured to upgrade my services. At times, the people spoke to each other in something other than English.  One of them would then turn to me and tell me what they were talking about.  I didn't feel paranoid that they were talking about me. They have a wide selection of polish colors and good brands such as OPI. If something happens to your nails after you leave (the day they are finished), you can come back, and they will fix it. My toes looked great, but later in the afternoon, I threw on shoes quickly, and one of my nails was damaged. It was fixed free of charge! read more

Me and my mom got a spa massage and facial here twice now, and we will continue to come here! The ladies are so nice and so welcoming. The place is beautiful and the spa room is so relaxing. read more

Came here after E'Shee across the street was struggling to take off dip that they put on. The front desk greeted me with hot tea. Annie gently took off old dip and reshaped my nails/did a great job. Also this place was super clean. read more

Ooops! I got so excited, I forget to take pictures. Next time. A spontaneous stop for a box of Nuts 'n Chews rewarded me with the discovery that the people behind the nail shop I had once loved had just acquired the shop next door to See's. The staff from Moonlight Nails are here!!! They hadn't been able to contact me or all their previous customers at Moonlight Nails because their customer base was part of the sale deal. Now they are the new owners and management here. This is a large shop, but still a mom and pop business - literally - plus Ken who has been working with nails for something like 12 years. I wouldn't come here if I wanted 2 inch nails encrusted with jewels. That's a different kind of shop and a different kind of art. These people are knowledgeable, thorough, gentle and calming. And friendly, too. Ken did such a great job on my mani pedi, and my nails still look great, many days later. His acupressure massage was a stress busting joy, too. read more

New nail techs!! You have to give this place a shot, despite the less than stellar reviews, because the nail techs are new! CC is the best nail tech I've ever been to. I followed her from Moonlight Nails. She is so sweet and kind, is patient, and is meticulous. She takes her time and always does excellent work. I promise you won't regret going here! Make an appointment to see CC! Bonus- there is a candy store next door. read more

I stopped by this salon that I had gone to before and I will never go back again. I went in for a manicure and I was out of there in 20 mins! The girl doing my nails was in a rush. Nails aren't horrible or I wouldn't have paid but they are not what a good nail salon would do! Not going back read more

Amazing head spa treatment, I felt like a new person waking out of there! They had such a soothing and calm area for this treatment

Lifestyle Nails & Spa was my go to pedicure spot pre- pandemic because it was conveniently located by my work office and the staff were always so friendly and always did a great job with getting my toes looking oh so, purdy! :)) My visit on 08/22/2020 to get a pedicure was the 1st time I had visited Lifestyle Nails & Spas since all of this pandemic craziness started & I just wanted to share this helpful info with everyone. COVID precautions taken at Lifestyle Nails & Spa: -6 ft distance between each pedicure chair -staff & customers wearing masks -clear barrier used between the nail tech and customer Appointments and walk ins are taken. Hopefully, this info is helpful. -Rebecca out read more

First impression as we went in - this place was very clean and had a spa-vibe. The nail stylists were friendly and accommodated our needs. I took my daughter for her very first acrylic nails and I got the usual gel manicure. Both the nail stylists did a great job and did it in an impressive 30min just because we had mentioned that we had another appointment after. We both were more than satisfied with the work and this will be our goto for manicures and pedicures. read more

First impression is CLEAN and aesthetically pleasing. The vibe is relaxed and calming. I have been seeing Lisa for awhile here and she always takes the time to make sure I enjoy my visit: from manicure, to pedicure and the head spa. I am picky about where I go, and highly recommend this place. read more

These women are absolute angels! They are delightful to talk to, do a great job with the massage and nails, and always have big smiles for their customers. I am a repeat customer! read more

If you didn't know, CC and her husband took over Lifestyle Nails recently. They are no longer at Moonlight Nails off Anderson, next to Wal-Mart. So, if you are familiar with CC's great work at Moonlight, please be sure to go see her at Lifestyle, just down the road! It's seriously only a five-minute drive from their Anderson location. They are now in the shopping area off Research where HEB, McDonald's, First Watch are located. Lifestyle Nails is to your left as you pull into the shopping center, right between Jenny Craig and See's Candies. I was unaware that they had moved, so I'm sure a lot of their clientele is also unaware. From what I've heard, it was a sudden departure from that location. I actually went to their Anderson location as a walk-in last minute, and I immediately knew it was not the Moonlight Nails that I loved. So I took to the Internet to do some research and saw on Yelp that they had moved. I immediately gave Lifestyle a call to make an appointment, introduced myself, and they were so happy to hear from me! I went in the next morning for my pedicure, and they saw me immediately. They were both so happy to see me, smiling ear to ear, as usual. CC did a great job on my pedicure. My toenails are trimmed, cleaned, and look fantastic! I will not go anywhere but here! Not only do they do a fantastic job, but they are so incredibly sweet, loving, and humble. I would highly recommend new customers to give Lifestyle a chance and urge past customers to follow them to their new location! read more

Ashley was the owner before and now it's Thi. She is wonderful and her and her team always accommodates me and my insane schedule!

The best nail salon I've ever been to! Like others, I followed Cici and Hung from Moonlight Nails on Anderson to this new location. They are the nicest couple, and they always take time to ensure my nails are perfect and offer free drinks during your service. I'm always a little nervous to get a pedicure as my toe nails aren't the best, but Cici and Hung have always made me feel and look better. Huge fans of them and recommend this spot to everyone I know. read more

Awesome place. 5 stars. East to get in. Very nice. Very happy with mani pedi. Great inside

They have remodeled and have brand new, awesome massage chairs. I had an excellent pedicure with a great massage here.

I recently got my eyebrows waxed from Lifestyle Nails & Spa so I decided to use them for a pedicure. I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I was with my eyebrow wax! For $10 I walked away as a new man. Now for the pedicure, Tiffany paid immense attention to my feet and even diagnosed a condition with my toenails. She was super sweet and unafraid of painting a man's toenails which I was floored to experience. I will be returning for sure! read more

Had sns nails done in 30mins - yes 30!! No cuticle trim, did not cut my nails so they were all the same length and then filed them really aggressively so I have thick nails n tiny nails.... Not even any hand lotion afterwards. read more

I recommend CC at Lifestyle Nails & Spa. She is such a lovely person and her pedicures are phenomenal! Previously, CC was at another salon located about a two minute drive from my home. When she left the salon, so did I. Imagine how happy I was to find her again (thanks to an online reviewer). I won't let anyone else take care of my feet. read more

Excellent nail salon with friendly, attentive technicians at a fair price. Has massage chairs for pedicures and water/soda. Ceecee was great! read more

I could honestly say that this is the best place anyone could go to get the most amazing pedicure anyone has ever gotten. As a guy I just went for a basic pedicure, and I honestly felt like I was being pampered. The owner was not only professional, but she did an amazing job making me feel welcomed, and even make me feel like part of her family. I don't live anywhere here, but I would definitely fly back just to get another pedicure at this place. read more

So this place recently changed management and all the workers. Actually the new people all formerly worked at moon light spa nails (and I followed them here!).The old reviews don't reflect the good job they do. Ms. CC is extremely thorough with manis/pedis and their prices are super reasonable for the area. Recommend! read more
