I have written great reviews for Lux in the past but sadly they have declined greatly. First off the technicians are GREAT! It's management and the direction they are going. I had bought a gift card before they changed management and when I went to use, they would not honor. Manager gave me the owner's email, and I tried reaching them several times with no reply. If it were not for the great technicians and being a long time customer, I would not have gone back. Management has now changed their nail polish supply and to carry only 1 brand, doing away with OPI others. This polish does not last and chips within days! First time, I thought it was just a bad color, but then it has happened a second and third time! My technician offered to do again, but I am done. If Lux is not interested in carrying high quality polish, I'm not interested in doing business there.

Love the experience. I was offered a drink when I sat down and Jennifer made my experience too notch. She gave me suggestions on how to add litter to my nails because she noticed my previous set add litter. She also quickly helped with solving a problem with my pedicure. She went above and beyond to make my experience excellence. They are running a special right now since they have new ownership go and check the spot out.

This is the WORST nail salon I have ever experienced. If there was a way to give businesses 0/5 stars, Lux Nails would receive it. Atmosphere 1/5 - Odd. Nothing about the decor was lux. Most nail salons follow a pretty standard design scheme. This place was filled with at least a half dozen strange-looking white statues. I should have turned around and walked out when I saw them. The one star in this category is because the establishment was clean. Costumer service 1/5 - When the employees started debating in their native language about the price of the service I requested, an acrylic overlay with gel polish, I should have known this wasn't the place for me. They brought a young lady from the back to clarify service and price. She spoke English very well and presented a very nasty attitude; no smile, no greeting. I'm giving star in this category for offering me a can of Sprite when I sat down. Nail Service 0/5 - The man who did my nails tried his best but simply lacked the skills needed to properly deliver the service. He was unable to evenly apply the acrylic and did not cover the entire nail with product. Each finger was uneven and poorly shaped. Next, he was unable to evenly polish my nails. Paint was on his gloves and all over my hands! My nails were so bad I asked him to remove all the color and have someone else paint them. Can you guess who was called? Yes. Her. Her painting skills were also bad. When I asked her to fix them before curing them, she asked, "what's wrong with them?" Are you kidding me? Take a look at the picture attached to this review to see her work. Save yourself time and money. Go somewhere else.

Full set, acrylic color in 'bubble bath' with special 3D flower.

Request Kat ! She is amazing. She gets me right every single time ! She is so attentive. She is also super caring and sweet.

Cindy is amazing! I've been coming here for years and I'm always happy. She takes care of you and the new owners are very attentive and kind

GEL MATTE BLACK PEEL OFF SAME DAY :(

Ehh. Guy was nice but keep calling me cute / sexy It was a bit Odd. And my nails came out bad so lol

After the salon...

This was my spot. They did some serial messed up stuff. They don't listen. They put you into items that really are not what you want. Then the follow up is poor. Misinformation is constant. One does something and the next one talks about the practices of the other one. There's not one nail tech I would trust here. They are nice enough, but overall a train wreck. My nails hurt (one in particular). Plus~ this salon isn't cheap, but they don't do it right and I'm never going back.

London Bridge (color) shellac full set

I recently visited Lux Nails Bar for a birthday manicure and pedicure. It was a perfect birthday treat! I saw the sign that said Grand Opening, so I figured I would stop on by after my birthday visit to The Joint. (The shop itself had apparently been open for a while, but is still fairly new). When I walked in, I felt like I was walking into a Grecian palace with the light colors, vaulted ceilings and arch ways. After choosing a color, I sat down at my pedicure station and watched My Lottery Dream Home. The employee who took care of me was super nice and wished me a happy birthday and chatted with me some about the show. Then when it was time for my full set, I moved over to the manicure chairs and settled in for the long haul. Fake nails (as I call them) take forever but are worth the wait! This is only my second time getting fake nails, so I was still unsure of what to ask for/the process, but I absolutely loved my nails at the end. They were the epitome of my spirit color (I believe it was called London Bridge or Fog) and I got so many compliments on them! It was hard to type my midterm the next day, but worth it. They lasted me about 3.5 weeks, but could've lasted longer if I didn't type and pick at them as much. My reason for giving 4/5 stars was although some of my friends paid for my nails, I was still shocked at the price. I did spring for the second cheapest pedicure and shellac fake nails, but the sticker price still through me. Additionally, try as hard as they could, my pedicure water was either way too hot or just barely warm, it couldn't seem to hit that sweet spot. Overall will visit again next time I decide to treat my hands and feet!

Literally the worst nail salon i've ever been to. Not sure what their name were but my friend and I went to get our nails the other day and the people who did our nails were talking mad shit when we literally speak the same language like please. Not only did they talk shit and complain about MY NAIL LENGTH, they also rushed through the whole process, did not cut or push back my cuticles and ended up cutting 3 of my fingers. The lady who did my nails were so rough and only wanted to be done early, she did not shape my nails the way i wanted it and my french tip looks like it just got out of WWII, my nails also feels super fragile and sore? which have never happened before. Long story short, they don't care about the customer satisfaction and experience, plus they TALK BAD BEHIND UR BACK. SAVE URSELF THE MONEY AND TIME AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

This was a routine appointment--my usual services with the addition of a simple eyebrow cleanup. What I walked away with was not only physical damage but an experience so shockingly unprofessional that it has permanently soured my trust in this brand. The so-called "wax specialist" managed to get wax stuck in my hair and proceeded to over-wax one of my eyebrows to the point of it being practically bald. This was the complete opposite of what I clearly requested: a basic, minimal clean-up to maintain my natural shape. The difference between my two brows is glaring--something no competent technician should ever allow to happen. When I expressed my horror and asked to speak to the manager, Victoria Willis, a multi-unit manager, I was flat-out refused. Let me repeat that: A manager refused to speak to a customer who had just received visible, damaging, and unacceptable service at the hands of her staff. I've worked in the corporate world both as an employee and a customer, and never in my life have I witnessed such blatant disregard for customer care or accountability. In what world does a manager hide from a legitimate complaint involving botched services and physical injury? The sheer lack of professionalism, empathy, and basic human decency is appalling. To make matters worse, I had redness, irritation, and inflammation along my brow line and scalp from the wax--documented in the photos attached. No one in leadership offered an apology, or any form of resolution. I was only offered hair growth product AFTER I burst out in tears over this horrific experience and my close to bald brow. In the end, I was dismissed like my experience didn't matter. This location is an embarrassment to the EWC brand. If Victoria Willis is the standard for leadership, it reflects a toxic culture of negligence and cowardice. To the corporate office: Do better. And to other customers--go elsewhere unless you want your appearance and dignity left in shambles.

The facial was amazingggggg it was so relaxing and the massage was to die for. She gave such a detailed arm, shoulder rub down that at first made me think wait did I book a massage as well?!? But nope it comes with the massage! :)))) also the facial bed was so comfy, I honestly don't say this much but I feel like it's better than my own bed at home and my bed is really good. Also my brows came out perfect!!! Their products are all quality high end products which you can even purchase from them for at home use. I love the friendliness and homey feel of the salon. Very aesthetically pleasing. Def 10 stars if I could. I really do feel like they are already so busy that I hate to give a good review and won't be able to find an appointment. But I'd be doing a disservice to all women to keep this little charm to my self. So thank me later ladies.

The lash tech got glue in my eyes and had me hold a fan to dry…read morethe glue as I'm crying and telling her I'm in pain, making it even worse as the drying glue cuts the corneas of BOTH of my eyes. Although one was much worse than the other. The tech kept telling me, "Oh it's your first time, don't close your eyes." Yeah right! I looked in the mirror and asked what I was seeing and it was glue stuck to the rim inside the lid! She started flushing my eye with water and grabbed a Q-tip to pick off what dried with some solution that burned. OMG, I barely made it driving home with blurred vision and ran to my husband crying even more! It was so bad! I tried taking the lashes off the one eye that was swelling and it didn't take the pain away, so I went to the emergency room just a few hours after the lashes were glued. I was prescribed several medications to treat my eyes as well as several follow-up visits to an Ophthalmologist for continued care and treatment. Even the Ophthalmologist had to remove glue that was still inside my lid and take my lashes off, blocking tear ducts and losing some of my natural lashes. The ONLY THING THIS SALON DID WAS GIVE MY STUPID LASH MONEY BACK!!! After all I went through!!! :(

However, I have a cruise coming up and couldn't look crazy "down there" when my bathing suit bottoms are rather revealing. So, I had no choice but to suck it up and go. I decided to look on Yelp at all San Antonio locations and saw the other locations (281 and Basse Rd) had not so great reviews so I checked out this location and stumbled upon some reviews for Ashley. Man am I glad I did because let me just tell you, she was phenomenal. The atmosphere was great and initial customer service upon walking into the facility was great. I actually called them before because I got lost trying to find the place and the receptionist took her time and guided me there. I arrived right on time and only waited about 10-15 minutes. Ashley came out and it was time to get started. The room was basic, but clean. I told her it was my first time being waxed in quite a while (this wasn't my first wax but it had been years because I started shaving, terrible choice, lesson learned). Ashley was very patient and gentle. She explained the process and she went. I love that she kept conversation throughout to distract me from the pain and she didn't tell me when she was ripping off the strips, which was a plus for me because I'm a normally anxious person. I received an armpit wax and Brazilian wax and honestly, the pits hurt worse. There were a few times when I screamed during the Brazilian and wanted to punch something but overall it was as good an experience as it gets for this type of service. This was my first time at EWC so I received half off my Brazilian, only paid $25 and $21 for armpits. No half bad! Thank you Ashley for providing impeccable service. I've already booked my next appointment and can't wait to return.

After the service, they really push their products and other services, so unless you're firm about saying no, you might end up getting charged for extras you didn't plan on.
