Vanessa is the absolute best for cute, detailed nail design! I've been to see her twice for two very different styles, and she did an amazing job both times. Booking is really convenient through her website. She requires/prefers you to send her your nail design inspiration 1 week prior to your appointment or right at the time of booking to give her time to acquire any supplies she needs to fulfill your request. The first time I booked with her, there was a section on the website you could upload your design. I couldn't find it the second time I booked, but I just sent it to her via DM on Instagram and there were no problems. At the time of writing, her salon space is located in the Phenix Salon Suites in Katy. Parking is ample since it shares a huge lot with other businesses like Joanne's Fabrics. She has a TV with Netflix/Hulu/etc on it to keep you entertained during the appointment. My appointments with her have always been pleasant and the results have always exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend! read more

I first came across Vanessa on TikTok and decided to take a chance after several bad experiences at different nail salons. I kept jumping from one place to another hoping to find a place that would stick, but no luck. Her salon has always been so welcoming and full of light, it's easy to relax and take a step back from everything. My first appointment was during the pandemic and I was extremely grateful for how clean and careful she was, and she still is to this day! It is the ambiance and her super friendly demeanor that makes every visit a comfortable and worthwhile one. I'm the kind of person who has a hard time speaking up for herself. If something isn't the way I asked for, I tend to take it and try to be content with the result. It is Vanessa's kind nature that makes it easy to speak my thoughts. If I ever have any questions, she answers them. If I ever have any concerns on my nail design, she fixes it. Above all that, what I really appreciate is that she doesn't always wait for the customer to say something. Vanessa asks if I'm comfortable with the length, design, color, step, etc because she wants to be considerate. Vanessa is not one to boast about her skills, so I will do that for her. In the amount of time I've known her, my nails have NEVER lifted, and I could go for weeks without seeing her. I have always been satisfied with the results and have naturally gotten compliments wherever I go. The one time something went awry after I saw her, I immediately messaged her and she offered to fix it. I had always been envious of those who had amazing relationships with their nail techs. But with Vanessa, I have gained more than just a skilled nail technician. She's a friend I trust and someone thoroughly enjoy to spend time with. So, do I recommend? Absolutely. read more

I got my manicure by Vanessa on March 27th and it's been 3.5 weeks since I've had them. No lifting and they still look so pretty! She also painted on the little stars. I'm still in love with them! I plan on going back to get another set. Thank you, Vanessa! read more

if I could give Vanessa a negative star I would. As my first time going there it was a horrible experience, Vanessa did not greet me she has rude she changed my time of appointment a day before, when I got there a little late she mentioned I had a fee and I didn't have a problem paying for it but she was rude and never explained the process of the manicure I was getting I asked a few questions and all of her answers where short and with an attitud. I decided to leave she cut my cuticles and buffed my nails and I paid $35 for her 10 mins of rudeness i DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Vanessa she was so sweet and kind offering me a drink once I came in for my appointment. Not only I felt so comfortable she was fun to chat with and got to enjoy watching music videos and talk about our interest. Booking was fast and easy and she helped me out figure out what designs I should go for and she was also considerate letting one of my friends do her nails with her after mine despite how late it was getting. She took good care of us and I was so happy with the results of the hand drawn designs she did. She also not only does beautiful nails designs she also does K-Pop, Anime, Holiday theme nails and my oh my god they are so beautiful unique and well done. Ever since going here I haven't had no problems with my nails. I do a lot with my hands so I was scared they wouldn't lasted me long like other nails but to my shock they have been holding up strong and I had to personally take off my nails just to get them refill and that was a hassle. Got to do my nails with them again just in time for the upcoming BTS comeback and still they don't disappoint on the hand drawn design. This is the place I'm always looking forward to going when I book a appointment again! Not to mention her Studio is so aesthetically pleasing perfect place to take pictures of your nails! read more

OMG! I saw Vanessa's TikTok for her business. Immediately booked an appointment with her. On the day of appointment gave her my idea of what I wanted and she executed it perfectly. I have been getting so many compliments on how pretty my nails are. I highly recommend booking your appointment with her. It may be small, but it is the intimate atmosphere and her kindness and hospitality that makes your visit 10x better. read more

I had left a review before, but the owner of this store posted it on Instagram and made me feel uncomfortable leaving it up, but at the end of the day, she didn't do a good job on my nails, and I get to leave an opinion. the stickers she put on my nails are wrinkled and the gel didn't dry right and is rough and spotty. I was there for two hours and she didn't do a good job and is upset with me being upset. i didn't see how poor of a job she did until the next day in sunlight. has by the time she finished, it was 8:15pm and dark. See the pictures for yourself and judge for yourself if she did a good job or not. She did give me a refund, so I'll give her two stars, but she's been mean and rude to me. Not once has she actually acted like she wanted to help remedy the situation. not good business practice at all. read more

Amazing Customer Service! Super Friendly. Everything was clean and sanitized. They offered me a drink. Definitely did a great job on my nails. I have a little baby and got glitter on my nails so she added a layer over the glitter to protect the glitter from falling on my baby which I thought was very thoughtful. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

I love the whole experience when coming into her little shop. She's very welcoming, very kind, and very skilled at what she does. Her nails are absolutely beautiful, and a good quality. Her services are also very affordable and when coming in she allows you to watch whatever you want on her tv. When you're in there it feels like you're with a friend watching a show and getting your nails done, it is truly an amazing experience. read more
