Came here for a quick walk in after work. I was sat down after 5 minutes. Catherine was great! Go to her for dip nails!!! The place was clean and bright inside as well. read more

This place is unhygienic. I just left with multiple of my fingers bleeding because they cut my cuticles too short. My toes have polish all over my skin, she didn't even try to clean them up before she moved on to the next customer. The man doing my nails used the same Dremel on myself and another customer, he went back-and-forth between the two of us without washing or sanitizing any of the equipment. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

First off, my nails are now gorgeous!! That being said, the salon here was so beautiful, clean, and the staff is so friendly!! Great atmosphere and quick, professional service. I cant wait to go back read more

My daughter and I LOVE this place! We go every 2 weeks religiously like clock work. The employees are incredibly nice and make you feel like part of a family. They offer a wide range of drinks to customers. I feel very comfortable having my 4 year here as they never seem bothered by her presence. Brian always kills it on my acrylic manicure with gel. The establishment is very clean and welcoming. Price wise - very good price considering their location! They also validate 2 hour parking. Seriously nothing could be better about this place! read more

look I'm not usually one to leave a negative review because a lot of things in this life are subjective. However, when it came to payment was here, unfortunately their system was down. But I've heard that at other places before too. I generally don't use Zelle for payment because I've had multiple frauds with Zell. Let me process. I am a Barber so I've used cell in the past business until I didn't anymore. However, I am going out of town and need my nails done which is also something I never do, and I heard really great things about this place and it was also a walk from work. Everyone was nice and the service was really good and quick, which is what I call efficient and that's how I see myself as a Barber and they were really nice and then it came time to pay and so was the only option because she couldn't find me on Venmo for some reason , but I have multiple transactions taken out of my bank account which I have reported fraud and my online baking in my debit card were shut down until I went into a bank in person which is not convenient for me when I work the hours at the bank is open and I don't have a normal schedule. so it was a very inconvenient happening that happened. I don't know how else to put it, but I won't be going back to a place. It does not take a credit card. And I'm very very upset about the inconvenience that it caused. I would like my full money back for it the time and stress that this situation has caused me. Also, the reason it was fraud is because that Zelle is connected to a bunch of different bank accounts and that isn't great. So I don't know what's going on with them and money, but I don't trust it and even if the service was good and everyone was nice I will absolutely not be back. read more

I had a lovely experience the first time. But I went again, and the lady who did my manicure cut me at least eight times; she was looking to the other side of the room until she cut me badly, and I had to tell her. Then I asked for eyebrow service, and another lady did it, and it was so bad and aggressive, and she cut so much of my eyebrows and left a hole plus product in my hair. I am very disappointed in this place, and these two ladies should be doing their job better. read more

Very fast service and always able to squeeze me in last minute. Done a great job every time I've come in!

Catherine gave me the most amazing foot massage during my pedicure. She also was able to get me in last minute for a mani pedi. Go see Catherine she does a great job!!! read more

TJ did my gel manicure exactly as I asked for. I couldn't find the exact color but told him white sparkly snowy for the holidays, and he said "he's got it" and he did! Great service and great manicure. Sonny gave an excellent pedicure and great polish job. So nice. The atmosphere is clean and beautiful. Being from out of town, you never know what you will get. I was extremely happy and will come back the next time I am in town. Highly recommend!! read more

Nails On 5th - Sparkly and Snowy for the holidays - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Those of us that get our nails done often come to expect a certain quality and standard, and this place does NOT measure up. My manicurist was not only very rude but completely sloppy and scoffed at me when I expressed I was in pain as he was trimming my cuticles. A manicure should NEVER hurt. I could have done a better job at home. I have the utmost respect for the hardworking men and women that keep these places running smoothly. I had never had a bad nail experience in my life until today, but I cannot in good faith recommend this place. Way too much hard-earned money to spend on poor service. read more

I wanted to love this place because I live right above at the Saltillo. My mom and I had gel nails done - which chipped and lifted on the sides to start peeling off after 5 days. I went back in to get them fixed (to give them another chance) and they were talking in another language about me. The nails did not last and it was a very uncomfortable experience with rude staff. Not to mention, their cuticle work and the actual manicure portion was terrible. read more

Honestly, I do not understand the bad reviews. They were amazing and quick. They asked all the right questions, they helped you match the colors and they were SUPER clean! read more

My friend went there last night and her full set was horrendous to say the least. The nails were all messed up. From the first application to the final result. Her nails looked NOTHING to what she asked for. They were bumpy, crocked, and all different sizes. Her pedicure looked nothing like the picture she showed the technician. I would honestly save my money and go somewhere else read more

It's one of those things where you wished you would have listened to the reviews. Walked in and was impressed by how quickly I was placed in a chair, but things changed quickly. I say down and placed my feet into ice cold water, I asked 3 times for the lady to make a bit hotter. She made it seem like I wasn't sure what I was asking for and completely ignored my request. I should have just got up at this point but I'm visiting so I just went with it. Worst pedi ever completely rushed and painful, and I was made to feel like I was an inconvenience to the lady doing my pedi. To make things even worse she was upset that I didn't want her to use the cheese grater on my foot. Needless to say I will need another pedicure when I get back to HTX ‍ read more

Worst gel manicure I've ever had. Didn't even last a week. :( over priced low quality .. bummer

I would give this zero stars if I could, I got my nails done on a Tuesday and two days later one of my nails broke. I went in to get it fixed and the owner made sure to let me know that "it was NOT their fault" all I even said was "hey I was just here two days ago and my nail broke" I never accused anyone of anything. He was quick to jump to conclusions that I was indeed blaming them. Sunday two of them broke and I was not doing anything aggressive to make them fall off. I turned off a light and one broke and the other one just literally came off when I opened my fridge to grab something out of it. I called first thing this morning (Monday) to let them know. Who ever I spoke to was understanding and told me I could indeed get them fixed for free since it was less than a week. I get there and the owner greets me and I tell him that I was the one who called explained again what happened and he was quick to let me know it wasn't their fault. I told him that it wasn't my fault either and usually SNS stays on for up to 3 weeks not less than a week! He refused to help me and was yelling at me making a scene in front of all the other guest. He told me to get out. I told him he needs to refund me if he isn't willing to help me. He refused. This is the worst service I have ever received I work in the cosmetology world and do hair and I could never imagine speaking to any client of mine this way. It wouldn't have killed gin to make it right. If he would have I would have come back. The ego this man has is so bad for business. I literally was shaking and so upset with how he treated me. Do your self a favor and go anywhere but this place!!! read more

I have been here a few times and absolutely love it. Friendly staff and excellent service. My nails always look amazing when I leave

Probably one of the worst manicures I've ever had. I wish I'd checked Yelp beforehand. In town for work and stopped by before my flight home. The woman went so fast on my nails, I got acrylic done and she just did a really shoddy job. Uneven, bumpy, she just rushed through without doing a good job. Won't be back since I don't live in Austin but would definitely not go back if I was in town. 2 stars because the nail nail salon itself is nice and clean, the woman was nice, and there were a lot of color options but the manicure itself deserves 1/5 stars. read more

Was so excited to come try this salon out for a pedicure. I received a gel removal and then a gel pedicure. I don't know if they drilled my nails too hard removing the gel, but the next day when i left both of my big toe nails split horizontally. Not just the polish- the physical nail. Now my big toe nails have been bleeding and are extremely sore. I will not be returning. I've never had this happen before in my life. I shared a photo to show you how my toenails have split and ripped off, but it's pretty gross so sorry about that ahead of time. read more

Nails On 5th - both big toenails split and ripped off after my pedicure service. - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I really wanted to like this place. The location is great and convenient. The place is nicely decorated. I gave them 3 chances. Had a dip manicure done there for a special event and the service for what I paid was disappointing. The nails were unevently shaped - some were too square on one hand compared to the others and the look on some of the fingers was chunky because they didn't even them out. Had a gel manicure done a few months later and it started chipping on day 4. Likely because they rushed everything. I do not like leaving bad reviews for businesses so I sent them an email using their Contact Us on the website providing them feedback and sent them photos of nails that were starting to chip. What really drove me to write this review is that I never even got an acknowledgement back from the business that they received my email. I would rather they say no when they are busy and ask me to come back as opposed to rush through my service with a sloppy result. read more

Catherine does a great job! She's so personable and gets me in and out in a timely manner which I LOVE! Check them out if you're in the area. Also the complementary wine is a huge plus lol, love this spot! read more

this was the worst dip manicure I've ever gotten, was cracking and chipping as soon as I left the salon and way over priced. most expensive dip manicure I have ever paid for and it lasted not even a day. read more

The salon is clean and the staff are kind, but I left pretty disappointed. My service was extremely rushed even though the salon was virtually empty. The nail tech didn't trim my cuticles until after the dip powder was already on my nails and massaged my hands/arms halfway through the service which all felt out of order. When trimming my cuticles I was cut pretty deep and they put nail glue on my cut to make it stop bleeding. After some pretty aggressive filing my nails look okay overall but the lines aren't very clean and the final product was subpar. I'm normally not one to complain because it's just nails at the end of the day but this experience was not good. read more

I have given this place multiple tries. I've also tried a few different people out. Each time I leave dissatisfied. The location is great for me and the facility is nice. I have really tried to make it work but the nail techs are very disappointing. Last week I got nail tips for a vacation. Once again, I left disappointed. They looked horrible. If I had time I would have asked for a redo. Today (a week later) I went back and just asked for them to be removed because I didn't care for them. The man that worked on them never asked if I wanted a manicure or other services even though I was trying to inquire about care for my nails after the tips were removed. He cut me with the drill. He left my nails jagged and unshapely. He never asked what shape I wanted them filed in. I had to ask for the file to finish my nails. After the service was complete he told me to insert my card. I asked what the charge was. He said $15. I said okay but I'm paying you to take off the bad nail job from a week ago and the bad nail service that I just received. He said that "you don't get 30 minutes of work for free". "Pay your bill and get the f*** out". He called me a nasty woman and that I don't know anything about nails. He used more bad language. I asked the other ladies having their nails done if they heard what was going on. Everyone was shocked at the outburst. It was bizarre. Please do yourself a favor and don't waste your money on this place. As nice as the facility and location is the service isn't worth it. read more

I seldom write reviews but this has happened to me on more than one occasion so I'm writing. This afternoon I called to make 2 appointments for pedicures at 5pm. We arrived about 5 minutes early and we were told to "pick a color". After sitting for another 15 minutes, we were taken to the pedicure chairs where we sat for another 15 minutes. At no time did they say that they were running late and would be with us soon. Or even given an apology for making us wait. I understand things happen, but don't let me make an appointment that you cant actually keep. I feel I'm just told I have an appointment when in actuality they just keep taking people and making the people who have appointments wait. Why bother making an appointment. After all that we just left. I guess they get 1'star for answering the phone. That's a low bar. read more

Well I really wanted to like this place. My coworker recommended it, and now looking at the only other review I wish I had looked at Yelp before hand. Catherine was extremely friendly and really nice so I'm giving 2 stars, versus the 1 star. But as you can see from the picture, my nails came out looking awful. I asked them when I walked in if they could do the design on my phone and they said yes. I realized half way through my manicure as she's putting my nails on that she has skipped through any cuticle treatment or anything that the girl next to me was getting, and she was also just getting a manicure. The shape came out ok, but it was the moment that other people started walking in that she quickly sped through the painting and designing part of my nails. It was hard to point out the errors made because she finished so quickly, I could tell she just wanted to move on to the next girl. They have a culture of regulars who walk in without appointments, and you can tell they are the priority. I made an appointment and she even mentioned about it being my first time and leaving a review... you would think she would want to do a better job knowing I was leaving a review. Now I'm terrified to even go back and ask for a refund or for them to just remove the paint and do it over after reading the other review. I waited a few days and almost went back in to fix it, but the tools she used must've been dirty because I have an infection on the side of my cuticle now. Also my coworker was charged $55 and I was charged $65 for the same thing.... read more

I am traveling for work and have gone to 4 different nail salons in the Austin area. I wish I had found Nails on 5th in the beginning. Joseph did a Hot Stone Pedicure for me and it was the best leg/foot massage I've had in my life. Every time I thought the massage portion was over, he would add another moisturizer and begin again. The manicuring and polishing was perfection as well. I will be going back, and I wish I could find a comparable salon in my hometown. read more

Katherine did such a fabulous job with my almond shaped nails!!! My nails were short to start with but she made it work with zero pushback!! Get attention to detail was amazing, and she let me relax so easily. I'm so happy with the job well done.

Definitely making this my new go-to nail salon! read more

Very friendly staff. They got me in last minute on a Saturday and were so kind to me. My normal polish pedicure was great. Looks nice, and the accompanying massage was amazing. But my gel manicure was botched from the start. I had an event to go to that day so it worked for that but it immediately started peeling that night and the glossy finish did not adhere to my nails. Making them glossy in some parts and matte in others. read more

2.5 stars on Yelp, that explains alot. Wish i would have looked before going. Honestly the interior is so gorgeous and the woman that did my nails was very nice. I went in for a gel manicure. She had me pick from a "menu" so i chose Gentleman's Manicure $36. Manicure is fine. Basic. Looks good. Go to checkout and its $51. Plus tip. Extra $16 charge for "shellac add on". I didn't ask for shellac. I didnt want shellac. Major difference between shellac and gel. Would go back to complain and get my money back but im sure thats a lost cause so I'll just never go back. read more

The first time I came here they drilled my nails down so much to get the gel off that my natural nails were so thin and ended up breaking. I had worked so hard to grow them out. My hand massage during that mani however was great. I ended up going back because I was in the area and pressed for time, but had to go back again two days later because two of the gel nails had already chipped. Upon fixing them, the guy just put a little dab of paint on the chipped part instead of redoing the paint on the whole nail, which I've never seen anyone do before. A day later and now a 3rd nail has chipped. I also didn't even receive a massage during the second mani. Only giving 2 stars because they have a great color selection and overall the place is nice inside, but lazy job and they're clearly not using quality product. read more

10/10 review! Nails on 5th is amazing!! Brian is my go to and always does an incredible job...And I know all of the others do as well. I've left here so happy every single time!

One of the guys did my nails and was SOOO aggressive and impatient. You can tell he was in a rush due to some people walking in. Lady picked out the wrong color and he assured me that it would go to a lighter purple (what I asked for) it never did. 2/5 Lady at the front was very nice. read more
