    #99 Natural nude pink, Acrylic Gel Powder
    Ellie A.

    Nails look great! I've stopped by twice so far. You're offered a beverage, wait time was not so long and the overall experience was pleasantly quick. In and out, no fuss during a week day.

    The only nail shop I will go to in Houston. I'm not originally from Houston, TX, however this nail shop gives me the feeling of my former go to nail shop in my hometown. Very homey and everyone is nice and accommodating. It's not your top notch nail bars that you'll find around Houston, however that doesn't bother me at all. It's perfect. Mimi is my nail tech, she knows what I like and I always leave satisfied. I recently got the OPI Sugar scrub pedicure, absolutely wonderful!! My feet still feel soft and smooth. The prices are good compared to other places and they take their time. I choose to schedule my appointments, however they do accept walk-ins.

    This is my go to nail shop. I've never had a bad experience here. They are a very busy shop! The workers are all very nice and good at what they do. Usually I only go for a pedicure with the occasional manicure here and there. This visit I decided to get my nails done. I did a full set with the powder. Total $45. They are a little longer than I would have liked but I'll just get them cut down when I go back.

    This owner of this little 25 year old nail salon probably has one of the sweetest, most inspirational nail salon stories I've ever heard. While getting my brows waxed by Lily, the owner of the salon, I asked why her English was so good. Cuz we all know the countless numbers of times we've always had to repeat ourselves over and over at these nail salons, ("Whaat? No I don't want "crital jail"!). But her English... She formed complete sentences! And pronounced every letter! I was so impressed. But it hadn't always been like that for her. When she first moved here 25 years ago... her English was awful, and she cried every night because she was so frustrated that she couldn't speak to her customers. She wanted to say so many things, but there was such a huge language barrier! One day, one of her customers told her, "Don't cry, honey! It's okay! You just have to practice!". The next day Lily said that very customer returned with a children's book... and took the time to slowly teach her her ABC's, how to pronounce things, how to read. "Keep trying! And watch lots of TV! TV is good just listen to it!" So over the years Lily practiced and practiced (and probably watched lots of TV). Now her English is pretty impressive for a Vietnamese nail salon owner! And that customer? Yep! You betcha! 25 years loyal and probably one of her best customers! The warmth of this nail salon truly reflects in all the customers that come in too. While getting my nails done by Angela (the sweetest gay guy ever! And nail quality on point!) I noticed a constant flow of customers coming in. But they were never mad that the wait was soooooo long! In fact, some of them just marched right on in and made themselves comfy around the salon. ("Don't worry, I know yall packed imma just sit down over hurr and watch some tv I ain't in a hurry momma"). One lady waited beside me for 1.5 hours jUST to get her brows done by lily. Apparently it was her birthday too! So Lily didn't charge her, told her not to worry about it. Now if that's not warmth, I dunno what is. Anyways I shared that story because I wanted to thank whichever customer it was, who from the kindness of their own heart, first taught Lily English. Not everyone takes the time to be kind to foreigners, let alone an immigrant you just met working in a random nail salon. You are a kind soul. Thank you. I hope you read this. "Wait but who's Sonny though?! The salon's name is Lily Nails by Sonny!" you ask? Well you're just gonna have to ask Lily for yourself when you come in to get your nails done. :) (My total was $54... $8 brows, $18 shellac nails no mani, $28 deluxe pedi. A bit pricey. But I shall be returning.)

    Great manicure Benny!!!

    At first I was concerned that the guy doing my nails didn't understand anything I was saying but then I was pleasantly surprised that he gave me a beautiful manicure. I soaked off my organic powder overlay and was going to try acrylic overlay again but decided to just let my nails breathe a while. Benny was thorough and pleasant and this place is close to home! Thanks :)

    I'm very satisfied with my experience here! I got a dipping powder refill and my nails looked fantastic after! They offered me wine while I was getting my nails done. 2 weeks later, my nails still look great.

    The nail polish is already pulling up and chipping off.

    This was my first time coming and while my experience was good, I won't be returning. I got a shellac manicure, pedicure, and an eyebrow wax. The manicure was nice when I left but I knew they wouldn't last long due to being painted so close to my nail bed. Today is Sunday and I went on Tuesday of last week so it hasn't been a full week yet and my nails look terrible. They are closed today so I can't even go get them fixed before leaving out of town for the week. I'm very disappointed because this was a waste of $30 and my time.

    First time coming here but probably won't be my last. I just moved and was looking for a new nail shop and I might've found it! I came on a Friday afternoon around lunch time and I didn't have to wait. I got a shellac full set and pedicure. The place quickly filled up but they still took their time on my nails. Their customer service is great and the place is clean and smells good. I'll definitely be back

    Really pretty with matching toes
    Brandi V.

    Surprisingly amazing. I was desperate and Couldn't get across town to my own regular salon, so of course I was a little nervous to try someplace new. They exceeded my expectations! CLEAN!! Great options. Fast and friendly, with really fair prices! This is my new spot from now on!!!

    I had been looking for a new nail place since being relocated due to Hurricane Harvey. Out of frustration I turned to Yelp only to find this place. My first experience was incredible! I arrived right at their closing time and Ms. Lily told me no worries, she'll be right with me. She is so sweet and her conversation made me feel like family. I was her last client last night but she took her time to insure I was happy with my nails. I have found my new spot! She told me that she never reads her Yelp reviews and I encouraged her that she really should! So if you're reading this Ms. Lily, thank you! Everyone that left was so happy and appreciative of their services and that is so important! I look forward to seeing you in 2 weeks!

    Pedicures!
    Briana J.

    The owner lilly and another guy in there named Danny are really good! Very good hospitality in this place!

    Shellac!

    I've been a longtime customer of this establishment, and one thing I can say is that the quality of…read moreservice is consistently good. However, over the past year, I've noticed a recurring issue with appointment wait times. Typically, I make appointments in advance but still end up waiting around 30 minutes or more for my preferred technician. I completely understand that they're in high demand and can get busy, but my time is valuable as well. If it looks like a service won't begin within 15 minutes of the scheduled appointment, I believe customers should be notified so they can decide whether to wait, see another technician, or reschedule. During my most recent visit, I arrived 15 minutes early and checked to confirm if my technician would be available at my scheduled time. The receptionist mentioned they should be finishing up with a walk-in client shortly. Unfortunately, I wasn't seen until nearly 30 minutes after my appointment time, resulting in about a 45-minute wait overall. Had I known there would be such a delay, I could've easily stepped out to run an errand and returned without issue. A little more transparency with timing would go a long way. That said, I still enjoyed my visit and would recommend this place. My advice for anyone on a tight schedule is to be proactive and assertive when confirming your appointment time. A major perk: they offer 20% off main services for medical staff (Monday-Thursday), teachers (Monday-Tuesday), and students (Wednesday). Just be sure to have your work badge or ID present to receive the discount

    I came here after hearing a bunch of hype behind the nail salon seeing that they do good nail art a…read morecouple of friends going here since they are healthcare workers for the 20% off discount. I came in for a manicure pedicure. For the manicure, I wanted builder gel with design on a couple of my nails and pedicure. Just a regular gel pedicure Pedicure: if I come back again, it's only exclusively to get a pedicure done and that to a basic gel pedicure. And that's because of the 20% of discount that I can get. Other than that, even the pedicure was suboptimal. The massage was just a lady rubbing her finger around in circles around my foot and a little bit of my ankle. No pressure whatsoever and didn't even massage my calf. On top of that, everyone around me was getting a neck massage after or some sort of back massage. I didn't get anything like that. The pedicure cost for what I get is still pretty expensive including the 20% off discount where I might as well go somewhere else get everything I get for the same exact cost. Manicure: I'm actually embarrassed right now to show my nails off for the next month. I do nails at home so I have somewhat of an idea as to how the quality of the builder gel should look as well as certain nail paint and nail design. I got a cat eye done, and I can see the brush strokes of the nail paint on my nails of the cat eye. I can also see the difference of the layers that she did on my nails. I can see the basic nail paint then I can see on the side of my nail where she didn't cover my entire nail with the cat eye color. On top of that my nails are not rounded evenly. They are all not equal in length. The nail paint isn't even applied evenly. It's applied at an angle so you can tell where it's close to touching my cuticle to where there's a solid gap between my cuticle area and the nail polish. The design isn't even remotely close to what I showed her. When I made the appointment, I asked them to book me with someone who can do nail art because I've had bad experience with nail art not looking remotely close to what I show. They promised they would book me with someone who's experienced. I hate to say this, but I could have done a better nail art job by myself. The cherry on top for me was when I had to apply my own cuticle oil on my own nails. At the end of the day if I ever come back here, it's to get a basic pedicure done with the 20% off discount. They are not good at doing cat eye. I'm not saying this based off of my experience. I'm also saying it based off a couple of friends who got cat eye here and were disappointed. The level of work I got done with the 20% off discount is how much I pay at a regular nail salon so I might as well just go to regular nail salon especially if they up-charge here to then give me a " 20% off ".
