    Extensive drink offerings
    Danielle D.

    I wanted a pedicure before my vacation and because this place seemed to be the newest one in my area (South Austin) I gave it a whirl. First, you can get 10% off your first service if you sign up to their rewards program. So save some money! I went with the "pedicure in a box" option. It wasn't the cheapest but hardly the most expensive either. I also opted for just plain nail polish. The cost was $54 - this seemed pretty standard given my experiences at other salons in the area. I didn't make a reservation online but did a walk-in on a Wednesday at 11am. The place was definitely busy but I didn't wait and was seen promptly. The service itself was nice. Standard pedicure with some nice additional perks like a nice calf and foot massage. I always trim my nails before I go because they usually don't cut them as short as I like to have them and I asked that they do NOT cut my cuticle (I've been hurt too many times). They have a pretty extensive beverage offering and it's clean. I would definitely come back in the future when I need my once yearly pedicure!

    I've been here a few times and yesterday was my first poor experience. I came in with an "aura nail" inspo photo, and left with clunky gel. My nail tech burned me four times, cut me twice, and was not at all careful with me. When I expressed not liking the color, she was extremely rude and did not want to fix it. I wound up just asking her for another coat of the weird color she already put on so that I could be done with it. She cut my long natural nails without asking me (not at all what I wanted) just to add smaller gel tips (also not what I wanted). 6/10 of the nails are shaped very awkwardly and don't look at all close to what I wanted. When I tried having anyone fix it I was brushed off. $66 for ugly, clunky nails is insane.

    Always a great Job! Pale pink love

    I was a walk in to change an old dip set and they were, like always, very kind when you don't have an appointment, accommodating me within a few minutes. They have expanded their space to add new stations and a pedicure room. It looks amazing! I am In love with the pale pink z blend dip Win picked out.

    It's really a hit or miss here. The last two times just fell short. I feel like the male technicians are not as good. I didn't make an appointment for it and just walked-in. They offer complimentary drinks but when I got my green tea, there was a piece of paper inside, so I sent it back and requested a new one. That's ok, accidents happen. The technician who did my nails used a polisher to remove my old coat of gel nail polish, but in doing so, he scraped my skin multiple times and caused it to bleed. He poured alcohol over it but my pinky finger is still swollen. I got a gel manicure and after days of getting my nails done, one nail has already broken. Gel manicure should not be easily broken-that's why I got it! If you pay in cash, you get a discount. I'm not sure if it's worth me risking my fingers again. I will look for a new salon.

    This salon is really nice and I was able to walk in and be helped pretty quickly. I got a dip manicure and Vinny did a wonderful job. He didn't do the dip too thick and shaped my short nails perfectly. My only complaint is that I'm not sure when it became customary for cuticle care to not be included with a nail service but I've seen it become very common across multiple salons. There wasn't exactly a "manicure" aside from the dip and nail shaping. No cuticle care, no hand massage at the end. Felt a little rushed but would still come back because he did do a good job

    LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS REQUESTS!! My engagement nails were RUINED. I've been a loyal customer of this salon for almost 3 years and today was the worst experience I had and it was the most important set of nails. I came in knowing what I wanted and expected them to deliver. These are the nails that I am getting engaged with and envisioned what I wanted for them to look perfectly. I trusted this salon because I've had beautiful nails in the past. I first told the attendant at the desk exactly what I wanted. I expected him to have had the information relayed and in the beginning of the service when realizing it was not being done how I had asked, he DISREGARDED what I wanted. I'm not sure if the manicurist I had was new but my wants and requests were not listened to AND he told me to hurry up to decide if I liked the design which had me fighting back tears because it was too far in to have it all be redone. I brought this up to the girl at the counter because I was so upset with his demeanor and the fact that I asked for them to be done in a particular way that he literally told me he is doing them the way he wanted to. She unfortunately wasn't empathetic and proceeded to charge me. Discount it at some sort of cost, offer to have them redone as requested. It's just so appalling that someone who was a loyal customer was disregarded and not taken care of. I literally cried the moment I walked out because I was so upset at how poorly they cared or did. I'm truly not one to place poor reviews but this was so upsetting for someone who has one of the most important and perfect days of their life coming up and can't have nails to match it. Please treat your frequent customers better.

    I've been coming here for the past couple months. After a few times I found Steven who is amazing!! He is super detail oriented and makes sure the nails are what I want each time. Highly recommend him! The shop itself is super clean and calm. They provide free drinks and everyone is super nice. I usually do walk in and they always make time!

    Dipped Manicure - I like them, but wish the cuticles were clean up better.

    I've been back a couple times and I have to say, Golden Nails is incredibly hit or miss. Unfortunately most of my experiences have me feeling weirded out in some way. Because the mani stations are compact, I feel like I'm dodging (not to mention my drink) nail particles from those nearby. I went to grab a straw once, and it had a thin layer of dust? I hope it was dust. The staff is nice enough. They do work pretty quickly. The services (whether gel or powder) don't seem to last very long. It's a gamble.

    WE WENT TO A RESORT WHERE MY DAUGHTER COULDN'T EVEN ENJOY HER SPRING BREAK DUE TO THIS INFECTION

    NO CONSENT AND INFECTION!! I had came in for a pedicure before spring break and ended up in a very uncomfortable not only for me but for my daughter. Connie kept being rough, cutting me with tools and burning my feet. I did redirect her a few times. Towards the end of my pedicure I realized it was because she had an appointment waiting for her. I work in the service industry and I WOULD NEVER speed through any interaction to get to my next appointment. I simply don't overbook for greed and then on top of that give poor service. Shame on you, Connie. NEXT TO ME was my 14 year old daughter. She has a very hard time wanting any services. She agreed to a nail polish change. I was charged for a pedicure and my daughter had to endure an infection caused by Hien. HIEN went ahead and my daughter a pedicure and also began using foreign objects to cut and remove a side of my daughters nail. My daughter did not complain of any discomfort OR in frown toe nail PRIOR to us walking in the door. I myself, have been going here for years. I know whenever I request for the sides of my nails to be cut, the person performing the pedicure will let receptionist know. Receptionist will then walk over with a clip board along with a consent form. No form was presented OR ACKNOWLEDGED. We never request any additional services. My daughter reacted at one point. When I looked at her I could sense discomfort and of course, as her mother I ask Hien what she was doing. She then stopped what she was doing and quickly finished nail polish change. When we walked out, I kind of had a feeling that that would be the last time I would be coming here. My daughter ended up with a nasty infection during spring break, which delayed us from plans that we had out of town at a resort I reached out to staff and management. This was weeks ago. I keep getting the runaround. The owner and business partners decided to pretend this never happened. I say this because no resolution ahas been offered as of 4/8/2025 Staff let me know that the business owner was "very busy " and after getting no response I went ahead and went to this location to demand some answers. I spoke to the owner over the phone as she resides in a different country. She let me know she had to speak to her business partner and review footage. I'll attach pictures of infection for credibility since these facts are being questioned. It's now been one month since this incident and I got no resolution. This happened almost a month ago and I never got a resolution, no acknowledgment, no refund. My daughter had to be medicated with antibiotics due to this infection on top of that because my daughter was punctured with a metal object. Her pediatrician advised that she get a tetanus shot. This is unfair, cruel, and malpractice do not support this entity. As all you are is a transaction again no consent and no acknowledgment. This salon recently boasted on expanding in size and lured clientele in with a promise of a gift card. Instead they should invest money back into employees to become knowledgeable, clean and abide by TDLR. When I went in, I requested to see the license of the person that performed this on my daughter. They went back-and-forth because they couldn't even find her license where it should be. Do your research. THIS TOOK PLACE AT AUSTIN LOCATION BUT IT CAN HAPPEN FREE OF CHARGE AT BOTH LOCATIONS

    I finally found my new nail salon! I've gotten a full sets with Emily and she's a perfectionist at her job. 10/10 on both my full sets, and pedicures. This nail salon does amazing work. I love the ambiance, the vibe, nail color selection, and their drinks. ;)

She even ordered a…read morecolor she didn't have that I requested :) She has done awesome cat eye, jelly, chrome and designs for me. I am rough on my hands and my nails rarely break after Tammy does them. Occasionally I get a pedicure while I am there which is really nice too. On weekends they are super busy so I recommend going earlier on weekdays, otherwise you might have to wait. I wish I took pics of all the sets she has done but I only have two.

    I had gone to this salon before for a pedicure and decided to go again to have a full set of…read moreacrylic nails removed and get a gel manicure since I was in the area. Nancy was assigned to do my nails and did not speak one word of English. The only reason I bring this up is because typically, when you need to get your nails removed, they soak your fingernails for a few minutes to loosen the bond, then clip them off of your natural nails piece by piece. Well, an hour and a half later, they finally removed. It was not communicated to me clearly that they did a different process to preserve the nail by slowly filing it down then soaking your nails, then slowly filing it down then soaking your hands times 11! Literally, it took over an hour and a half to get them removed. Nancy was rough with my fingers. She had sharp nails and dug them into my fingers while she was rolling them from side to side to work on my nails. It was painful and I tried to explain to her not to grip my fingers so tightly. She also cut my one of my cuticles. I know I have thin cuticles - I tried to explain that to her but she didn't understand. The manager should have stepped in and explained the process better and communicated to Nancy my complaints. They had me soak my nails for over 25 minutes with foil wraps before switching me out to have John be my new nail technician. John was wonderful. We were able to have a nice conversation and he did a great job. However, I did have an appointment I needed to go to and I was late to it because when I walked into the salon at 12:30, I had no idea it wouldn't be until 2:00 pm before that process was done. I will not be returning.
