I don't want to speak too soon but I may have found my go-to nail salon *gasp*…read more West U Nails is really close to my house, and somehow I never tried them out before. They are located on a very busy street (Bellaire Blvd). It's not a huge shop, or new, but it is very clean. I finally came by for the first time on July 18 for a dip powder set with designs. The design was what I found on Pinterest. Somehow I forgot to take pictures then.. but it turned out amazing, just how I wanted it. I was pleasantly surprised that my cuticles were cut and prepped, not the usual treatment I get at other salons because I don't usually choose the manicure package. I went back the second time on August 3, and this time the service was even more impressive. I had ripped out some of my nails the night before, and was in major need of a do-over. I came in right when they opened at 9am on a Saturday, got seated right away and offered a water. I noticed that a sealed set of cutters was used, which is a huge plus for sanitary reasons. I asked for dip powder with french tips in chrome. **Spoiler alert** The whole process took 2.5 hours!! My technician (Sen) really took her time to make sure all the details are perfect, from shaping to painting on french tips with gel. She even helped me put on my mask when I couldn't do it with my nails being worked on at the time. When I requested chrome, I didn't realize how long it would take. She had to PAINT the chrome on top of the french tips, making sure it doesn't get on the rest of my nail bed. Even though it took that long, she didn't take any shortcuts, still lotioned & gave me a hand massage afterwards. I was in awe of the treatment I received. I literally can't wait to go back!

I came here after hearing a bunch of hype behind the nail salon seeing that they do good nail art a…read morecouple of friends going here since they are healthcare workers for the 20% off discount. I came in for a manicure pedicure. For the manicure, I wanted builder gel with design on a couple of my nails and pedicure. Just a regular gel pedicure Pedicure: if I come back again, it's only exclusively to get a pedicure done and that to a basic gel pedicure. And that's because of the 20% of discount that I can get. Other than that, even the pedicure was suboptimal. The massage was just a lady rubbing her finger around in circles around my foot and a little bit of my ankle. No pressure whatsoever and didn't even massage my calf. On top of that, everyone around me was getting a neck massage after or some sort of back massage. I didn't get anything like that. The pedicure cost for what I get is still pretty expensive including the 20% off discount where I might as well go somewhere else get everything I get for the same exact cost. Manicure: I'm actually embarrassed right now to show my nails off for the next month. I do nails at home so I have somewhat of an idea as to how the quality of the builder gel should look as well as certain nail paint and nail design. I got a cat eye done, and I can see the brush strokes of the nail paint on my nails of the cat eye. I can also see the difference of the layers that she did on my nails. I can see the basic nail paint then I can see on the side of my nail where she didn't cover my entire nail with the cat eye color. On top of that my nails are not rounded evenly. They are all not equal in length. The nail paint isn't even applied evenly. It's applied at an angle so you can tell where it's close to touching my cuticle to where there's a solid gap between my cuticle area and the nail polish. The design isn't even remotely close to what I showed her. When I made the appointment, I asked them to book me with someone who can do nail art because I've had bad experience with nail art not looking remotely close to what I show. They promised they would book me with someone who's experienced. I hate to say this, but I could have done a better nail art job by myself. The cherry on top for me was when I had to apply my own cuticle oil on my own nails. At the end of the day if I ever come back here, it's to get a basic pedicure done with the 20% off discount. They are not good at doing cat eye. I'm not saying this based off of my experience. I'm also saying it based off a couple of friends who got cat eye here and were disappointed. The level of work I got done with the 20% off discount is how much I pay at a regular nail salon so I might as well just go to regular nail salon especially if they up-charge here to then give me a " 20% off ".

On Holcombe in the same shopping center as CVS, if you are there, you are in the right place. Parking: Since this Shopping Center is so popular you may have a hard time finding a front spot, but because the parking lot is large, you will definitely get one. Just wait patiently for one or park a bit farther an get some steps in. Ambiance: This place embodies a garden them from start with silk rose bouquets, cherry blossoms and the like, this place is decorated for you to get lost in eden! This place must have like 100 nail bays, it seems huge. Service: Im almost always a walkin so I come in, give my name and number and wait to be seated. Today was my lucky day! I didnt have to wait long at all, which was amazing. I picked my color and we were ready to roll. I got the Paradise Pedicure which includes paraffin. Just coming from a 10K last weekend, it was much needed. Will I go back?: Absolutely! This is the only nail salon that does not make my legs itch with the products they use. Not sure what products they are using different than others, but I am quite cautious. I get a different person each time so I don't have anyone to recommend. I have been quite satisfied with the folks I have received.

1 Star -- Declining Quality, Misleading Charges, Damaged Natural Nails and Greedy Practices…read more I went to Naliq Nail Bar (South Braeswood) on 10/04/25 for a refill and pedicure and paid $200.60 total ($170 before tip). This was my second visit and it will be my last. The first time I came, I actually left a 5-star review because my nails looked great at first. But even then, I had concerns I chose to overlook. The acrylic felt cheap and low quality compared to what I normally wear. I typically use CND Warm Pink, but instead of a true nude acrylic, they used clear acrylic that turned purple with the monomer and then painted gel on top to make it appear nude. The pedicure polish was also applied poorly and had to be redone multiple times, and they even charged me for "length" when my nails were already short. This time, those red flags became full blown problems. I asked for the same pink nude base and pointy shape as before, but the tech completely changed both without asking. My nails are now rounded, the base color is milky and uneven, and the overlay is thick and heavy. The receipt lists special shape, cat eye, French, and chrome, but charging $15 each for both cat eye and French doesn't make sense when the cat eye polish was only applied to half the nail tips. I also requested a cut down, but no length was removed. The tech used a hand file instead of a drill, then filed under my natural nails, thinning them so badly that when I remove this set, they may not even be strong enough for another overlay. The 3D gold chrome design was also layered incorrectly, leaving doubled uneven lines instead of the clean raised look from my inspo photo. For $170 before tip, I expected professional technique and care. Instead, I left with weakened nails, the wrong color and shape, and an inflated bill. I've attached photos and my receipt so others can see what this salon considers "premium" service. I tried giving them grace after my first visit, but this confirmed what I suspected: cheap products, inconsistent techniques, and inflated pricing. Never again. Let's call it what it is, $110 for a refill felt like punishment for being 15 minutes late. If time was really an issue, I should have been offered a reschedule, not rushed work. I was charged $5 extra for a "special shape" after clearly asking for pointy nails and showing a photo, yet still ended up with rounded, grandma shaped nails. And I could have let that slide if the art had been immaculate, but it wasn't. The gold chrome 3D design looks nothing like my inspo photo. You can't blame lateness to justify poor quality and overcharging for a result that doesn't even match what was requested. Make it make sense. Then I paid $55 for my pedicure, and they still added a $5 gel removal charge even though I didn't have them paint my toes. Regular polish was included, but I declined it because of a small green spot on my toe. So why charge for removing gel when no polish was applied? We should have been even. That just shows how greedy this salon is, nickel and diming clients on top of inflated prices, then still expecting a tip.

I asked for a luxe pedicure she gave me a rush job. At first she stated she couldn't do it, due to an incident that happened at her home. I was getting ready to leave. Then, she stated she could do it. I got a shellac pink on my hand and feet. Wendy basically stated that African American people do not pick a light color. They like brighter colors like blue, green, orange basically a bold color. I felt it was very stereotypical. All people get all colors. I came back the next day for the manicure. I had to ask her several times to get the skin off of nails. She did a horrible job. She kept saying she would get the dry skin after. I feel like if you don't want to do the job right. Do not take the customer. I will post a picture of the side of my nails after the manicure. Wendy, kept stating I will get it later. Wendy, also asked me for a tip after the manicure.
