    PLEASE do not waste your money here!! My nails look like they were painted by a 4 year old. I came in was greeted, everything was fine. The owner ends up doing my nails and again everything was going fine. As soon as she started on my hands thats where it went downhill. I had to asked her about 4 times to fix something and got annoyed like its my fault. I can tell she was rushing me because some more people had came in. She didn't take her time with me at all and you can tell by her work! She didnt even bother to cover my full nail with the top coat she was going so fast and was unnecessarily rough w my hands. By far the worst nail salon i've been too please do not bring your money here. Responding to Joannes comment, She asked me when she was done what else can i fix, she never asked if i was satisfied. At that point i had pointed out so many mistakes i just wanted to get out of there bc she had an attitude at that point. Thanks for the kind gesture but no you couldn't pay me to come back, thanks!

    Thick nail bed

    They were open on the 4th of July, which was great! I was going on vacation the next day and work didn't allow for me to get my nails done before and my regular salon. Also, the pedicure was fairly priced and great. This place is very dated, not relaxing and definitely caters to an older crowd who have been doing their nails the same since the 90's. I paid $90 ($120 with tip). I normally go to a beautiful, luxury nail salon on Buffalo Speedway and 59, so an upscale area. I get shellac on my toenails and dip on my nails and spend the same amount. This place charges a lot of $ to remove shellac and dip which is not the case at my regular salon. So when I compare their unpleasant brown interior, price and quality of work to my regular but better priced salon, it's disappointing. I went in with dip from my regular salon and told him I wanted the same shape and thickness. Their dip selection is TINY- they have like no on trend colors, so I went with basic red. My natural nails had grown a lot and I told them I wanted them to be trimmed just a little and to keep the length so I could have an almond-oval shape (which requires longer nails). The lady clipped my beautifully grown nails so short. Not natural at all. They are super thick at the cuticles, not blended at all and the thickness varies across each nail. The girl did not know how to file evenly. She filed my nails to a square and I had to ask her to stop and retell her what i had asked for. Now the nails are super short and the shape is just not what I was looking for. But the WORST PART is they painted shellac OVER the red dip. NEVER had this done- like why?? The shellac started cracking immediately after I left and flaking off. Anything I hit my nails on caused a huge scratch, and I had to constantly use oil to try and hide the scratches. Dip nails are supposed to be shiny and pretty and ALSO not use the light. My nails look like trash less than a week in. Half are dull and rough because of the scratched off shellac. I have to go to my regular salon to get them fixed. If you want French tips or a simple pedicure, this place might work. But if you're younger than 50 and want nails that are on trend or look shiny and have a modern shape, you should avoid this place.

    I've lived in Sugar Land for over 20 years and this is my first experience with Nails By Yen, I wasn't disappointed. Joanne did a fabulous job on my nails. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she did it. She was gentle and took her time on each nail, so I didn't feel like I was being rushed out the door like other places I've been to. Thanks Joanne.

    I like my nails simple but sometimes it's difficult finding someone to so just that! Joanne did a great job on my nails! Myle did my toes and she did a great job too! Both of these ladies were super sweet!

    Wow! I've come three times and already am in love. I live right around the corner and this place is a hidden gem. I've had three different techs each time and all of them have treated me kindly and with respect. However, Judy stood out the most to me by taking her time and teaching me about the health of my own nails! Such a great place! I'll bee seeing y'all again soon! Thanks for the hospitality.

    Pedicure time!

    I booked the $20 Brazilian wax and I guess the phrase you get what you pay for it really is true…read more Let's first start by saying I was 10 minutes late, which I did call to inform the Esthetician unfortunately their calls do not go directly in-house but to a overseas receptionist When I did arrive, the receptionist did not greet me nor did she introduced herself, but stared at the screen with her back to me to verify my name and asked me if I had wax before so she could gauge if she had enough time to still take my appointment. My, I am nothing about her look was professional she had on a hoodie the entire time definitely kind of sketchy. Also, she didn't make any conversation. All she did was ask me to put my legs up and if I can open them more. I am from a place where service providers often do run late and the payer is expected to still have a pleasant attitude which I did not experience. Definitely would not recommend the vibe is definitely not there, and I will not be back for sure. Also, may I add anybody may be 10 minutes late because most people are probably looking for a storefront but it's not it's in a salon suite. Might I add, also at the quality of these products are nothing special their basic things you can buy inside of a Walmart or a beauty supply store with no aesthetician license. and the after post wax things that she use are not pH balance for the bikini area. I am a licensed aesthetician, so take my word for it. "Esthetician" Name is Nikita

    Arely is amazing! Great customer service and distract me from the pain. I was little bit lost…read morelooking for the room she was in but I found it. I will be coming back soon!
