    I was debating on doing a review but I'm just going to do it. If you care about the health of your nails I would certainly refrain from coming here. I had my nails done by a younger guy with glasses. I had asked for hard gel and my nails WERE BURNING. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FYI!! This damages your nail bed. The application he was putting was so thick!! Hard gel only needs a thin coat, and I know this because I get hard gel with Russian manicures. I usually get Russian manicures, but my lady was booked and I thought I would give it a try here as I knew they did hard gel. if you have never gotten russian manicures done I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Russian manicurists actually CARE about the health of your nails and aren't rushing to finish a set to get to the next person. Also 61$ for this? Please lmao. To top it off he was rude and shaped my nails HIDEOUSLY. Absolutely do not recommend coming here Also: why does my nails look like they are already a week old???? He didn't even apply it right.

    Great service today. Very reasonably priced. Jayden does a great job. They always do a wonderful job. This place has reasonable feed for waxing the chin. They always go above and beyond basic expectations. They fixed a nail that had gotten messed up after the last time I came home. I appreciate their dedication and caring.

    Service: Great and appreciated! I came here on a walk in with my teenager who only got a manicure and I got a gel pedicure, and gel mani fill. Got in after 2pm they were very busy we only waited 15 mins. They kept checking on us throughout our service asking if everything was going well and if we wanted a beverage. Quality: Pedicure - most people are very particular about their nails, me it's my feet. My pedicure was so good, my feet and toe nail beds look so clean and neat and oil was used for my massage and then lotion on top which is the very first time I left a nail shop and my feet and legs were NOT ashy, I was very happy with my pedicure. Nails - Now my nail service was outstanding! I've been trying to wear buda gel nails and been a few places and my nails would just look so thick and ugly, but Tara listened to my concerns looked at my nails and understand the assignment! She took her time and she filled my nails with a brush stick instead of the brush that comes in the nail polish. She also used that really tiny brush they use to make designs to fill the gel out on the sides of my nail bed. She was very attentive, did a good job and kept checking that I was happy throughout. Vibe: everyone seemed happy to help the clients to get their services and the prices were very reasonable especially considering the outstanding service and quality of work they provide. Conclusion: I'll be a repeat customer! Ps. Parking is a bit hard, it's by the community college so street parking is scarce and garage parking is also scarce so you might have to park further and walk depending on the time of day I guess, just FYI.

    I've been to this nail salon twice now and both times have been great experiences! Both times, I got a dip manicure with a specific nail design that I showed a picture of and each time they were happy to replicate it and did a fantastic job. The first mani lasted me about a month and probably could've gone longer but they were looking overgrown and I was antsy to refresh. I was a walk-in the first time for a Friday evening which was very busy and called ahead to schedule an appointment the second time around for a Friday afternoon which was a little quieter. Service is fast and efficient, making sure to seat you right away, ask if you want something to drink, and ask multiple times throughout if you like the look. I also got their most basic pedicure service on the second visit and was very happy with the look and the thoroughness. The location is tucked away right next to the Austin Community College campus so pretty easy to find.

    I got a mani/padi before going to my evening courses at ACC. Nail technicians are very dedicated to meet your expectations! The place looks nice, and they make sure you are satisfied with the outcome.

    Had a wonderful experience at this spa, Tara was my nail tech during my visit and she did a wonderful job!! She made sure of the length and colors I wanted and was able to beautifully recreate my nail inspo pic.

    Just got my nails done here at Highland Nails & Spa .... I've been coming here for two years now and they never disappoint.... Nails in the picture are done by Tara, BUT they are all super good at what they do! I was able to walk in and show them a picture from Pinterest of what I wanted and results were AMAZING! I LOVE THEM! Prices are def reasonable and most importantly they take their time, never felt rushed!

    I was in the area and decided to walk-in without an appointment. I checked in on the iPad in front and then was immediately seated and started looking through the color options. I asked for a dip manicure, and Tin removed my old polish while I searched for the color I wanted. I settled on a beautiful dark brown! I was able to secure parking just behind the nail salon in one of the retail spots in the parking garage. It's always nice when you can find covered parking in Austin! Tin expertly removed my old manicure and let me know it would be $8 extra to remove the old acrylic. He told me I would need to do regular dip (not acrylic application) with the dark brown color I chose, which was fine with me. He re-shaped my nails into an almond shape (they were square-oval before) and the whole appointment took maybe 1 hr, start to finish. I think he did a great job, and I look forward to returning next month!

    Great service. Can always do a walk in. They always do my nails great and they last at least 3 weeks. Affordable.

    Rose just gave me the best pedicure I have had in years!! This is only my second time coming here because I don't live very close to it and I don't spoil myself enough. But it is worth it. I do hair and nails, so I'm very picky about my services., and I don't have to be here they do everything correctly. The atmosphere is very chill. Everything is very clean.. The retail parking is easy to get to.. I will be working closer to this area so I'm definitely will be coming back more often.

    Apparently this is what a 15$ "manicure" looks like

    -5/10 experience I have been coming here for a while and was extremely upset to be taken advantage of at my last appointment. I initially was going to get a gel manicure and after having my old gel removed and seeing how paper thin my nails were I decided to skip the gel and just get a regular manicure with cuticle trim, gel removal. The woman told me it would be $30 to get the gel removed and trim my cuticles/dry skin around my nails. I felt completely taken advantage of as a gel manicure is $40 but I would be paying $10 less to have my old manicure removed and my nails cut. She was absolutely taking advantage of me and price gouging charging me $15 to trim the dead skin around my cuticles, and now I will never go back. I paid $13 after the very nice man up front offered me a $2 discount for my experience, however they've just lost a customer forever for this woman's actions. I didn't get her name. I can imagine they get away with taking advantage of people daily, so be aware. Absolutely unacceptable.

    The staff at Highland Nails & Spa are always friendly and efficient. Most techs frequently ask if everything is looking how you'd like. I've been more satisfied with some sets than others and have found that quality can vary by tech. It's not the fanciest place to get your nails done in Austin, but it's a solid choice with a more lowkey, quiet vibe.

    This place exceeded my expectations! The salon was spotless and had such a relaxing atmosphere, and the manager was genuinely so kind and welcoming. Tammy did my nails and she is unbelievably talented, her attention to detail and skill really show in her work. My nails came out perfect, and I've already gotten so many compliments. I would highly recommend Tammy and this salon to anyone looking for top quality service.

    Hi, how much does dip or builder gel cost?

    Not sure but it's not cheap. I think 20-30, but not positive.

    How much for a pedicure with regular nail polish and a fill in with acrylic polish?

    Hi Denise! It's $37 for a basic pedicure and $52 for a refill with acrylic. Thank you!

    Do they take walk-ins?

    Yes they do !

    I have actually seen shakila for years and tolerated her chronic tardiness for the appointments…read morebecause I did like the way she tinted my brows, but I can 't tolerate it any longer .,l. She was 45 min late for the scheduled appt time again today. I even confirmed the time with her the night before so she could arrange her schedule to not be late. It is sooo rude and is disrespectful to her clients as well as to her own business. It's a reflection of her and being unable to manage her time. If it was an occasional tardiness, I could let it go , but it's habitual!! I am done with it. I will look for someone. I shouldn't be aggravated and frustrated, and then late now with my schedule because she cant manage her work schedule.

    SHAKILA SALON IS A ONE STOP SHOP!…read more I love it here, I originally heard about it through a Groupon Special for an eyebrow threading. Redeemed it for $5, $2 off the regular price. I was thrilled, it would be my first time that I have ever had an eyebrow threading. Shakila was very thorough and gentle with the process. She is very friendly and she is also very engaging as a person. I don't know about you but it's nice to get beautified and not have someone with a Resting Bitch Face the entire time... a nice conversation makes it so much better. This is part of what I pay for...SERVICE. Anyway, I loved my brows, I even came back once I needed them redone. She also pierced my ear, replaced my nose ring, and and the boyfriend got a beard trim and a haircut. SCORE! This was all in the second visit. Shakila and her talented stylist will get you IN AND OUT. My new regular.
