Second time coming here today! They are sweet, fast, and absolutely fabulous! Finally found a place that does a great job and my shellac stays on and does peel from the cuticle off within days. Highly recommend! read more

Love this place! I can treat myself without breaking the bank. The service is fast, and my nails usually last 3-4 weeks solid -- even longer as they just grow out naturally. Definitely a go-to for quality and value! read more

If you want to feel like a quarter pounder with cheese on a McDonalds assembly line, then sure, go to Lovely Nails. First time the service (gel mani) was okay. Gave them another try today with a mani/pedi and remembered why I detest receiving these services simultaneously. I hate that you're twisting in the chair, hate that the mani person doesn't have good light (and it shows!!). If you have your nails done strictly to have neat, polished nails without any (and I mean ANY) relaxation or enjoyment of the actual services, I guess this place might be for you? Except my nails are far from neat. Why bother doing a manicure at the same time as a pedicure if you can do a clean job that the customer will actually enjoy? I had not 2 or 3 but FOUR different people working on me at different times. It was like a tag team job. I was like a burrito bowl being pushed down the assembly line at Chipotle. Best part - no one washed their hands. They didn't have me wash my hands before I sat down, they were all working on other people and then bopping over to different people (including me) and not a single person washed their hands. Yeah, not going back. I guess it's about par for what you'd expect at a sketchy strip mall on east Oltorf. You get what you pay for. read more

It's a nope from me.. I tried. I really did. Unsanitary tools, washed the lotion of my legs and didn't complete the massage for the "lovely" pedicure, watched as they dug out nasty, ingrown nails without gloves two chairs over. They tried to cut white paint off my finger until I almost bled (told me it was dead skin when I watched the man bump the girl do my nails and smear paint across my finger lol then did the same thing to my big toe) Some gloves, some without. Will not return. Bumpy polish. read more

I don't like leaving mediocre reviews for small businesses who are trying to make it in these covid times... but user know that while they did complete our mani pedis in 2and a half hours- with an appointment... lord knows at what time those other poor ladies who were walk ins and soaking got out ‍‍ it was like they didn't know how to say "no"!! There were only 2 people actually technicians, working full brunt speed. And 2 helpers who would get you to soaking point. Then you had to wait. Once you're soaking: you're a sitting duck! So we sat and sat and waited... eventually I got the guy. He was rushing and hurting my feet with his brusque movements while taking my polish off!! I took my foot away. He understood it hurt ( oh yes there's also a communication issue) he started a bit more carefully. Well no frills pedi completed and the lady doing my daughter goes to do other persons nails... what? So I cling to my guy and luckily he stays to follow with my nails. Halfway thru I had reminded I was wearing acrylic and needed to soak: they didn't have aluminum wrappers: he hands me a bowl of acetone to soak ... ok- primitive time. I soak and scrape my acrylics off to help with the rush and keep my fingers semi- alive...overall we were laughing throughout the experience but it was annoying and wouldn't do it again. Get the wine. They offered drinks at the beginning that we turned down: well at 6 pm, my nails done, I got the white wine while waiting on my daughter and it was good! We left at 6:30pm and those poor ladies who had been soaking feet since 4:30... were still there... Results: look good. No massage on the mani: one cuticle burn. Pedi: good job overall except I kept asking for a thin white line for my French pedi and he didn't understand- so I got what I got. It's ok. read more

This place is awesome - they almost always have immediate availability for walk ins and they are so attentive. They have no issues doing requested changes or touch ups. They usually do a touch up a few days after for free too! Clean line work and good color selection. It's nothing fancy but a good quality inexpensive manicure with great techs! read more

They were lovely, my manicure and pedicure was really pretty. But they did not use clean tools! I woke up to the worst itch in my foot the next day. Realized I got Athletes Foot because of their pedicure. If you still want cheap service and pretty nails, take your own tools and towels. Or ask them to clean the tools in front of you. It is not worth it to wake up to a fungal infection. read more

Very nice people, but charge too much for still needing improvements in their work. Maybe just coming for something more simple will work. read more

I haven't had such a well done gel manicure in a while. I left very impressed and was enamored with my nails. This is truly a hidden gem

Rose is really good at what she does. She paid attention to detail and my nails look beautiful!

I didn't exactly love my experience there. i first started with one lady and ended up in someone else's chair. this lady had no good understanding of much english so trying to communicate with her was hard itself. i told her multiple times that either i didn't like the shape, the was lint on the nail, etc. everytime i had the chance to check my nails before the next step began (just to make sure i do like the nails so far) she would rush me to put my hand back down or under the light or anything that hindered me from looking at them. she would tell me that whatever problem i found was "okay, it'll look good later". my nails are white so you can see the lint on them. that was my biggest annoyance. read more

Very expensive and not a good work I payed 110 for really short nails and simple, I got my toes done and they didn't even filed them , I do not recommend yall going very expensive and poor quality read more

There is only one person who does finger nails, and because of that expect a rush job. My pedicure was the best part. My feet felt clean and taken care of, but this not a relaxing place.

Everytime I go to this location they take their time and do a good job. I normally go for a gel manicure and I am never disappointed. I noticed when I would get a gel manicure in Austin the gel would start peeling within a few days from quite a few places. Since I have started going here my manicure lasts around 3 weeks.

This used to be my go-to salon.. last time I went it was not the level of service I've received in the past. My sister came with me and ended up leaving with one of the worst manicures she has ever gotten from I believe the new owner of the salon? They were making cocktails for a woman and her boyfriend. Meanwhile my sister and I weren't even offered a bottle of water. My nails were ok but there was some black stuff showing in my nail polish? That confused me. As a regular customer for about two years, I'm disappointed and would not recommend this nail salon anymore. read more

The lady did EVERYTHING rushed. When she was putting on oil on my cuticles, she was talking to her coworker and wasn't even paying attention to where she was putting it. She applied it under my cuticle. I can't believe I actually paid for this. My 5 year old could have done a better job. read more

I recently came here (Friday, January 22, 2021) to get my nails taken off and a pedicure. The pedicure was PERFECTION, loved the work the women did on my feet. My hands were another issue. TLDR: The procedure to take off my nails was very painful and left with me bleeding nails and bad hangnails. Would not recommend coming except for the cheap pedicure. ------------------ Several times I told them I need to only take off my nails today and come for a fill later on because I wanted a break from having a full set. But they still proceeded to suggest to me to get a fill and were in the process of preparing my nails for a fill until I reminded them for the last time that I only want my old acrylic nails removed. The way they went about removing them was very painful, I told the woman to stop and go slowly with her procedure but it still caused me so much pain. Enough for me to never go again and to tell you all to not go either. The person who did my nails previously, at a different salon, had attached my acrylics really well to my nail bed, but the method of removal performed at Lovely Nails was unorthodox. At one point my thumb nail was bleeding because of how bad the procedure was. And the woman did nothing to stop the bleeding. "What is this procedure?" Well let me tell you, they used acrylic nails to swipe and lift my old full set from my hands, kind of how one would use a credit card or string to pull under the fake nail in order to make it pop off. Three times this procedure didn't work and has now left me with painful hangnails on my right hand. Normally, when I request a take off, nail techs would buff the paint off my nails first and then wrap each finger with aluminum foil and a acetone-soaked cotton ball. And thankfully for my left hand they let me soak it in a bowl of acetone. But I now have to delay getting my nails done for another 3 or 4 weeks vs the one week break I anticipated because I need to give my nails time to grow out these hang nails. I have attached pictures for evidence read more

Very lovely people. I stopped in for a mani/pedi. They definitely work to accommodate everyone that comes in so I recommend expecting that and don't go if you're in a hurry. Overall it was a great pedicure. Fantastic attention to detail. When I asked for a gold stripe on my gel mani I wasn't met with disdain but excitement from the sweet gal doing my nails. read more

I got shellac color change for 20$ and pedicure for $25. The two ladies that attended me were very nice.

Heaven On Earth Always a personal experience. Such a clean and relaxing environment. They remember you when you come inside. Hardworking, talented and careful professionals at work. I have bad toes because of soccer and surgeries and they have healed them up beautifully. The Tropical Pedicure is sensational. I love the lava that molds to my feet and then clean off. The recognitions take time on each toe. Even massaged my back while I had my toes drying. Clearly overqualified talent here! I hope someone takes care of them like they take care of me!! read more

After telling the technician SEVERAL times, she still left my nails lumpy and ugly. She told me that if she went any thinner that they would break. She kept huffing and puffing when I told her I didn't like them and said there was nothing she could do to change them. I'm never going back! These were supposed to be my nails for graduation and they are hideous!!! read more

I won't post a picture of my toes online without cash up front, but I got a beautiful pedicure at Lovely Nails yesterday. I've been going to them sporadically over the years and am always happy with their work. Every single nail tech I've had has been amazing every time. It's really comfortable in the salon, and everyone has always been really friendly to match the vibe. I'm writing in particular about the pedicure I got there yesterday, the Tropical. Holy cow it was otherworldly. I couldn't even speak I've never had a foot and leg massage like that. Hot stones. Paraffin. Hot towels. It was beyond lovely. I think the young lady who worked on me is magic It was the best thing I've done for myself in a really long time. Go and spend all of your money at Lovely Nails!! read more

I love the pedicures and getting my eyebrows done here. Staff are so nice and welcoming every-time I walk in.

Very nice! Worked me in. Pleasant. Did a great job on both hands and feet. I had a powder dip manicure and gel pedicure.

I have been holding off on writing a review of my nail place for a long time because I don't want the word to get out on how cheap and awesome this place is. I have been coming to Lovely Nails for over 3 years now. Is this some fancy pants place to get a pedi where they serve you sparkling wine and chocolates? Nope. Is it in a strip shopping center located near a check cashing place, liquor store and ethnic food shop? Yep. Is it on the East side? Yep. Is it clean, professional and all around certified awesome? Yep. Every person who has ever done my pedi here has spent a great deal of time buffing, scrubbing and painting my toes. The basic pedi allows for hot towels to be wrapped on your legs and lotion. The chairs are comfy with nice massage options. The decor is simple. They have a flat screen TV, plenty of magazines to keep you busy and plenty of O.P.I. nail polish to choose from. My toes always look awesome and you can't beat the bargain price of $20. Now stay away so it doesn't become too crowded and/or they raise their prices. ;-) read more

Two stars for bad customer service from the nail tech Amie . She huffed and puffed because I wanted short almond nails the last time & I ignored it & tried to be pleasant . I tipped her nicely . I came back because she did a good job & again huffing and puffing & rolling her eyes . She's basically told me she can't do almond nails short half way through & told me I can get short square nails . Very rude & unprofessional. I won't be coming back . read more

Both pedicure and manicure are so thorough and relaxing. I'll be coming back here every time! I seriously couldn't be any happier!
