I was walking by this place and I had a little time to kill so I decided to pop in to get a manicure and a pedicure. I thought the place was very clean. They took really great care of me and give me a great hand and foot massage after the manicure and the pedicure was done. I think the prices are insane. I was in and out pretty quickly and altogether after the tip I think I paid 80 bucks which I think is outrageous for dude who is not getting any fancy nail polish
Service was top tier and quality was amazing the VIBE DEFINITELY GOODT!!! Make sure you get John he will make you feel welcomed! The only that needs upgrading is the wine (drinks) I don't drink much but I know quality & quality drinks and music makes a place worth going back to!! HAPPY FEET HAPPY CUSTOMER!!!
Katherine was amazing!!!! I recently visited nails on 5th and I couldn't be happier with my experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and attentive. The salon was clean, well-organized, and had a relaxing ambiance. What I loved most was how gentle they were during the process--no rough filing or overuse of tools, which I've experienced at other places. It's been over a week, and my nails still look flawless with zero chipping. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for quality service and long-lasting results. I'll definitely be coming back for my next apt.
**One Star - DO NOT GO TO NAILS ON 5TH!** I never leave reviews, but after what I experienced at Nails on 5th, I feel compelled to warn others. I went in for a basic manicure and left with an infected finger, a painful condition, and a terrible experience trying to get any sort of resolution. First off, the technician *cut my cuticles* *way* too aggressively, and not only did they cut my skin, but they also filed my nail down *to the skin*. After that, they tried to cover it up with a thick layer of gel polish, which I now know only made things worse. To make matters worse, they used a *dirty* cuticle cutter, which I later realized was the source of the bacteria that caused the infection. The next morning, I woke up with my finger *so swollen* and sore, and it only got worse from there. I ended up having to go to the doctor, and was diagnosed with **paronychia**, a painful infection caused by bacteria entering through cuts around the nail. I had to go back to the doctor a SECOND time to have the infection drained because it got so bad. I immediately contacted the salon and spoke to Tom, who was absolutely no help. He kept saying "Brian is out," and after a long wait, Brian finally called me back. Let me just say--*he was incredibly rude*. I explained what my doctor had said, and he hung up on me in the middle of the conversation. No apology, no empathy, nothing. This is absolutely unacceptable. After looking through all the other negative reviews, it's clear that this isn't an isolated incident--others have had similar problems with infections and poor hygiene practices. I will be posting daily or weekly reviews if I have to, because a place that causes harm to customers like this does NOT deserve to be in business. **Please save yourself the trouble and avoid this place at all costs.** If you want a safe and professional manicure, go literally anywhere else.
I had a great experience here! I was pleasantly surprised given some of the reviews- i would give this place a try! The location is convenient and they do have parking! Walking in the salon is new and clean. The staff was really friendly and I appreciated the conversation - i didnt catch his name but one of the manicurists was really funny. They do have beverages complimentary with your service, and they were efficient. I get annoyed sometimes when salons take hours to do a mani/pedi service- but this place was good. You weren't rushed, they did good work, but also were cognizant of your time. My nails also turned out nice! I keep short nails but they filed straight like I asked and did a great job painting.
Took my 11 year old daughter here to get some special gel nails. She had found photos online of the type of nails she wanted. We showed the photos to the nice staff. They came up with plan and made it happen. Everyone was very nice. The man was super sweet to my daughter and took his time. He even let her change her mind on a couple of nails and reworked them. Very talented staff. Nails turned out great. Check out pics. Starfish, seashell, all custom worked.

Coming from Houston, it's been really hard to find a nail salon that I love!! Katherine did my nails and she was amazing! I got dip with a almond shape. Not thick at all!!!! KC did my toes and they are beautiful! I will forsure be back so excited to finally find a nice nail salon!! read more
Visited during sxsw and wasn't disappointed like the other reviews. Perhaps they took the feedback because my experience was great! I did a walk in, showed them a picture of what I wanted and the guy did it fast and efficiently. I was worried going too fast was going to result in lack of detail, but he knew what he was doing without errors. If you're in town, I'd recommend giving them a try because it seems that they took the critical reviews seriously and made an effort to change (from my 1st experience) read more

Trust the bad reviews. I live in the apartment building above Nails on 5th and was really excited about it opening. I've been here 3-4 times now thinking that maybe it'll be better each time, especially since it stays busy but yesterday was the last time I will ever step into this place. I went for a gel mani, basic pedi and also decided to get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed while I was there since I was leaving for a trip and didn't have time to go to my usual threading place. The pedicure - this was the most rushed and useless pedicure I've ever gotten. I think I was done with my entire pedicure in 15 mins, if not less. She did not cut my cuticles and barely filed my nails, despite asking her to do so twice. My heels are just as dry and rough as they were when I went in. She massaged my legs for a bit so I guess I'll give her that... Gel manicure - again, rushed. When I go to a nail salon, I want a relaxing experience. This was far from it and was pretty stressful. I asked for the guy doing my nails to cut my nails down short. Now I've been getting my nails done for the last 20 years, every 2-3 weeks. So you can do the math on how many times I've gotten a manicures and I always say the same thing - cut them short because I don't like long nails. This guy cut my nails down SO much that the skin from under my nails is currently exposed. It is so raw and painful. I also wanted square shape. They're all a very round. I have to be so careful with how I use my fingers because it feels so uncomfortable around my nails. When someone says short nails, you're supposed to cut them to the fingertip. Not beyond. And to add a cherry on top, he did a sloppy job on painting the nails too. I'm so mad about this because I have a bunch of trips and plans coming up in the next few weeks with the holidays around the corner and it I will take me a while to regrow my nails enough to fix the disastrous shape. Waxing - I usually thread so this was probably my fault for even getting it done. Again, the sloppiest job ever. There was so much hair left on both my eyebrow and upper lip that I literally told her just forget it after she did 1-2 strips on each one. I came home and had to tweeze and thread my eyebrows and upper lip myself. Overall, worst $100 I ever spent. I wish I could get my money back so I could go elsewhere to get all the same services again in a couple weeks because this was an absolute waste of money. You truly might as well throw $100 in the garbage. read more

I have tried this place 5 or 6 times now because I want to like them. They're in a fabulous location and beautifully decorated. But every time I go I am severely disappointed. This last time was the worst. I had to ask the lady to buff my calluses on my feet. Then I had to remind both her and the guy doing my nails bro cut my cuticles. They both forgot. Then, he filed down my nails so short they look absurd and the paint job is a joke. He didn't go to the back of the nail and left big gaps of color. I took pics to show. read more

ade a 2.30 appt against my better judgement with somewhere to be at 4.30 close by - never have I made an appt here that was actually honored or even pretended to be valid [they don't care; walk in or not, people are taken in the order they come in - I've called once to make an appt and literally didn't even ask my name] My friend is sat before me, has her nails done, and by the time she's on the last coat I am finally seen at 3.15pm and not allowed to sit next to her. THIS IS 45 MIN PAST MY APPT. the moment I sat down I had shown what I had wanted (see image below) and then proceeded to sit for another twenty min to have my current (gel) color removed. By the time I had to leave my nails looked TERRIBLE (see below) - sides are covered and cracked, uneven, and the top coat is not flat at all from the rush job. I sat for two hours, with an appt, and have never been so dissatisfied with a half job that still isn't even good. Will never be back. read more

WORST SET OF THE DECADE! If you want your nails worse then your 2020 go here! Lady's my man has never said anything about my nails until I came here! I asked them to be thin but they were as thick as Marshmallows. He did not drill them evenly and they came out bumpy! Not to mention how much I paid. $$$$ Every time I requested something he would continue the same way. I would not recommend this place and disappointed with the service. read more

I was desperate and in so much pain after I realized my fingernail was infected due to cracking and since it was a Saturday. I didn't think anybody was going to be available to help out my situation but I explained my situation to Tom and he immediately sat me down and helped me! He was so gentle and fully repaired all of my nails that were so brittle! Thank you Tom!!! read more

They are very nice but I just don't think their products are quality. I got chrome finish ($15 extra which is a little more then I'm used to) and in one day it started cracking. read more

I asked for bubble bath dip and they gave me not that. It's white and definitely not bubble bath OPI which is pink. I trusted they knew what they were doing and didn't question it until I realized I had fuqued up by not asking where the hell the bubble bath color was because this is white. They filed my nail so close to my skin that it burned and now I have to wear a band-aid since the area of skin is exposed. My toes are the same color except less white so it looks milky and ugly. I'm bummed that I spent $110 + on this mani/pedi. Don't go on a Saturday if you don't want to be rushed. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! ID GIVE THEM A 0 IF I COULD!! They over priced and did a sh*t job!!! Don't be deceived by the quality of the shop. Obviously it's ment to lure you in. Didn't tell me it was $100 till I got the the register. When asked about return/cancellation policy. Was told they don't have one, they couldn't do anything to fix it. read more
