    Cat-eye gel manicure
    Camille A.

    Erica did an amazing job on my gel manicure and was very thorough and meticulous. She checked in with me to see if I was happy with the shape and color often. I was greeted when I came in and all staff was super friendly and welcoming. Thanks for helping me get ready for NYE!

    Let me start off by saying that I have been to three different nail salons in the past month and a half. I've been wanting almond shaped nails and not one salon has been able to deliver like C & K Nails. Johnathan was my nail tech and he did an amazing job! This will definitely be my nail salon of choice in Austin!

    My cuticles and nails looked better when I got there than when I left. My pedicure was painful and I don't want to include a picture of my toes. I was there for 3 hours for dip nails and basic pedicure. Staff is rude. Salon is clean at first glance but filthy when you take a closer look.

    Fourth of July nails
    Ruth S.

    My best friend and I have discovered this place and we now love it so much, we've decided this is our new spot to get our nails done at! The staff here are so detailed and caring about doing the best job they can for you. The price is also the best I've ever seen! They even have a happy hour which is so awesome!! I absolutely love this place and I love my nails. We will definitely be going back soon to get cute nails done ^^ I asked for some difficult design for the fourth of July and they made it happen* My nails look absolutely stunning. The facility is also nice and clean and they've got everything you need there. I usually feel so uncomfortable with the people who do my nails at other salons but the people here are very kind. You will not regret coming here!

    I have received continuous services on and off from this location however today when I went to get my nails done I noticed that there was a lot of leftover SNS powder on my cuticle. In the attempt of cleaning it up myself I was told it was my fault that I had dry cuticles. I asked Andy, the nail technician why wouldn't you suggest that I get my cuticles done being that I am not the professional license manicurist, he became very defensive and wanted to argue and got loud with me. I simply was explaining to him that this is not my profession how was I supposed to know that I should get my cuticles clean? He just kept saying he'll clean it next time and I shared with him that I'm headed to essence Fest and it's my birthday weekend. Why would I want to wait till next time or even come back next time if my nails look like I did them myself? And he continued to argue with me and I just said thank you because I realize that I don't have to go there. I realize my little money is not that big of a deal to them so I will take myself to another location to support black businesses. I'm tired of rendering my funds to people who don't appreciate or give good service and it becomes my fault because I'm the professional and not them! Don't want to give any stars!!!!!

    Acrylic by C&K

    Went here a couple of times for an acrylic fill. The first time two of the nails broke off within a day, and the second time the tech was very rude (a younger man who didn't even tell me when he was done working on my nails- he just got up and walked away leaving me to wonder if I should go to the drying station or not. Got my answer when I saw him start working on another customer) - and I left with the worst looking uneven acrylics I've ever had. Definitely would never go here again for any services.

    nails by Paul and nail design by Sammie!
    Jaret M.

    I have to admit I was a bit hesitant in trying a new place. I'm VERY picky with my nails especially because I just moved to Austin from CA and was nervous about finding someone who would be open to listening to my requests. Paul and Sammie really did a great job! I showed Sammie a pic of what I wanted done, nervous that she might not be able to accomplish the look. But she totally impressed me when she said "no problem I can do that, exactly to the details!" Super sweet, great service. Prices are reasonable, but it does start adding up depending on your design requests. Very clean, they open a new/sanitized pouch with nail file, clippers, cuticle remover in front of you! HUGE Plus!! Will be returning and totally recommend this place!

    They use packaged and sanitized tools. This is a big plus for me. :)

    My friend was in town and we decided to get pedicures. I saw this place and looked at the reviews and thought "hey why not try it". When we first got here we were the only people there. Which is fine because it was a Wednesday afternoon, so people are gonna be at work or school. The lady welcomed us and asked if we have been here before and told us about their services. She then offered is soda or water. They have a cooler where they keep all their water bottles for everyone. They even have a small snack bar (nothing fancy) which is unique for a salon. The chairs are nice, they use sanitized tools which are pre packaged, and everything is clean. Overall this place is good. Defiantly try it out.

    It is my worst pedicure experience at C&K nails
    Lyubov L.

    I used to love that place but after my last visit I'm really disappointed. I came for pedicure and manicure. Every time I come I love to enjoy their massage chair while they doing my pedicure. This time they won't let me use because they've started doing manicure at the same time so the chair would bother. And I couldn't enjoy it. But this is not the worst part. After they finished pedicure, my toe nails were not as beautiful as they always were after polishing. Nail polish was all over my cuticles and looked messy. As well previous time they did solar nail for my broken nail, which I do really appreciate. But this time that nail was grown and they didn't bother to correct it's shape and it looked wavy and not beautiful at all. So told them about that and asked them to correct it. They became nervous and angry and started roughly redoing it. At the moment I felt that I just want to leave that place and never come back again. They fixed my toe nail and cleaned the mess with nail polish but anyway it wasn't that beautiful as previous time and after all I have some scratches after their Pedi. Regarding my manicure was another story... I showed them the design I wanted and they told they can do it. When they started polishing they did it with the wrong color so I asked them about it. It turned out that they forgot and lady doesn't know how to do it and I should wait. Later they discussed it and the same lady started trying to do my design. After some time the other lady continued polishing my nails. At the end it was done not bad.

    I found this place here on Yelp. Place is small and clean. Calm instrumental music- good for relaxing. The guy there did my fill on my acrylics- did a really great job. I like how he shaped my nails. Then another young girl did my polish and asked if I wanted a design. I showed her a picture of Pinterest and she totally did a great job duplicating the design. It cost an extra $15 bucks for the design- but she did awesome and it's totally cute! She even has an Instagram account where she posts her nail designs. Cool! There were only three peeps working so they were juggling customers.

    Andy did an amazing job, my nails came out perfectly. Purple with (#12) chromatic powder :)

    I visited H & H Nail Salon on February 28th as a walk-in and have been sitting on this review for a…read morelittle while to make sure I reflected fairly on the experience and whether there was anything I may have misunderstood. After giving it some thought, I do believe I clearly communicated what I wanted, and I ultimately feel that I may have been overcharged. To start with the positives, I called ahead to see if they had availability for a walk-in. They told me it would be about 30 minutes, but I was welcome to come early and sit in one of the massage chairs while I waited. I appreciated that and did exactly that. It was relaxing to sit in the chair while they finished with other clients. Once they were ready, my pedicure began. I originally selected a lower-tier service, but the technician explained the Detox Pedicure very well and suggested upgrading. I agreed, and overall the pedicure experience itself was pleasant. While the pedicure was being done, another technician started on my hands with the manicure, but when another walk-in client arrived, that technician left to start a pedicure for the new client. The technician finishing my pedicure then move to her station and continued with my manicure and applied the clear dip. It was a seamless transition and excellent team work. I will say that I did like the quality of her work on my manicure and the dip. However, I did notice something with my pedicure. I had asked for clear polish on my toenails, and while it was drying it looked like some white dust had settled on the polish. I was trying to figure out how to mention it, but when the technician later applied oil to my toenails, the white appearance seemed to disappear and the nails looked glossy, so I assumed it had just needed to be brushed off. When I took a shower later that day my nails looked like I originally saw with a white dusty and matte look to it with some spot shiny. When I went to the register, I was surprised that the total was $130 before tip. I had calculated the $55 Detox Pedicure plus the $45 dip manicure, which I thought would be around $100. I assumed I may have miscalculated and didn't question it at the time, so I paid and left a 20% tip ($26) for a total of $156. When I got to my car and reviewed the receipt, I noticed there was an additional $10 charge listed for a "Cuticle Trim", along with a $20 "Additional Charge". $30 extra on to the bill. At most salons I've been to, the price of a dip manicure already includes the basic manicure prep such as cuticle trimming and nail shaping before the dip is applied. I get my nails done fairly regularly, and this is the first time I've ever been charged a separate and unclear $10 cuticle trim and $20 additional charge fee on top of the dip manicure price. The menu did not clearly indicate this additional charge, and it was never communicated to me beforehand. While I did enjoy the service quality of the manicure and the overall pedicure experience, I was not happy with the final finish of my toenails and was especially disappointed by the lack of transparency in pricing. This experience left me feeling unsettled. Clear communication about pricing, especially additional fees, is important so clients can make informed decisions before services are performed. Unfortunately, I don't feel that happened here. For that I don't plan on returning.

My hands were dipped into cold, soapy water--ice bath chic--and when I mentioned it, the tech just smiled at me. Not a "let me fix that" smile... more of a "good luck out there" smile. Within a minute, my hand was pulled out of the bowl and she launched straight into my cuticles with full enthusiasm. No gentle snips--just grab, tug, repeat. I commented again, and that same mysterious smile appeared, like we were sharing an inside joke I definitely wasn't in on. When she moved to the next finger with the same aggression, I called it. Show over. I prefer my cuticles attached, thank you. What made it stranger was that no one seemed to notice or care. The salon carried on as if a manicure hadn't just turned into a minor action scene. The pedicure, though? Lovely. Relaxing. Exactly what I hoped for. But between the cold soak, the cuticle rodeo, and the eerie silence from the staff, I won't be returning. I gave it a shot--my hands just didn't appreciate the adventure.

I went back a few times to give them plenty of chances since I had been so happy with their services. Alas, I won't go back and do not recommend.
