Reshma

I had the pleasure of going to Reshma for over a year, and her nail work was always flawless and consistent. If you're looking for a nail tech who delivers top-quality results, I highly recommend booking with her!

Laura Lemon is Amazing with a capital A! She was so detailed and patient when it came to my cuticle care before applying my nails. This was my first time getting Gel-x and I don't think I'll go back to acrylics after this. She helped me pick out a wonderful color and gave me a chrome top to elevate the manicure a little :) I already have my next appointment set!

Worth making an appointment. All of the nail artists here are consistently GOOD. My nails last longer when I get them done here than when I go elsewhere. Also, they're all really talented if you like nail art!

A really really awful job. I got gelx with extensions. There was an insane amount of gel between my nails and the extension (as pictured) that made my nails look extremely thick and some were sticking up in a funny way as if the nail was growing up from the nail bed. My nails are wide so you have to make sure to shape them on the sides to make them look slimmer. These nails were not shaped at all and looked extremely wide and fake (also pictured). The cuticle work was very good but aesthetically the nails themselves were awful. The overall look was that of a regular stuck-on nail that I could buy at a convenience store and glue on myself. I did call and got them taken off for free, however I was not offered any sort of compensation for the horrible $80 job that was done (even though when I sent in pictures they did agree with me that there is too much gel between the nail and the extension). While I was there I saw the tech next to me do a great job on someone else. Was I offered any sort of voucher, I would of returned to see that tech. That did not happen however. I went elsewhere, paid nearly $30 less and left with nicely shaped and much thinner nails. Perhaps if you're going in for a manicure with no extensions this could be the place for you, as the cuticle work was really good. I, however won't be back.

Cute polish wall decor

I came here on a whim for a pedicure on a random Tuesday at 5pm. I loved the experience! Everything for the beautiful decor to getting wine in a wine glass helped create a very classy, relaxing atmosphere. I got their summer special watermelon pedicure and everything smelt sooo good. A lot of time was put into every part of the pedicure and I ended up being there for an hour. The woman doing my nails, Erica, was really nice and meticulous. The place was pretty quiet with only two other people in there.

I went to have an awful acrylic nail job fixed. I had the pleasure of meeting Ayanna. Now, this gal kinda freaked me out because she was so sweet, and so gentle, and really talked to me about my nails and the techniques that she used. I'm not a glam girl, I just have junky nails that are week and that I use as tools too much. She told me all about gel nail builders. We went that way instead. The whole process took quite a while, almost 2 hours. For her to safely remove the acrylics and then treat my hands and nails, and then the gel buildup. Now I have my own nails, they are strong, and just the way I wanted them. Ayanna was great. I've already rescheduled for my fills. Thanks!!!!

Appliqués sticking out.
Kelli J.

Where shall I start...I booked and appt for a gel manicure with level 1 nail art. I simply wanted a neutral color with star appliqués. In theory I thought it was pretty simple. But the nail tech just wasn't able to accomplish it. The lady was nice, I just wish she would have told me that she wasn't comfortable executing what I wanted. The manicure was uneven and the appliqués are sticking out of the polish. It's looks very rough and looks poorly done - pics attached. All of the above isn't even where my issue begins with this salon. I called to address my dissatisfaction with my service. I explained the aforementioned and before even finishing the lady who answered, very abrasively, explained that my only option was to come in and get it fixed... being that I just received a service I wasn't happy with I didn't feel comfortable going back to have them "fix" my nails, that they just messed up. I simply wanted a refund and to move on. I don't live close to this salon so to drive back to it again would be an extreme inconvenience, I'd already lost time going the first time. I initial asked to speak to a manager, the person who answered the phone refused to give me to someone else. Instead she insisted that she was the manager, I'd be willing to be she wasn't. And if she was, the owner seriously needs to reevaluate who they have managing their establishment. Jordan was extremely rude, abrasive and overall not the person you want to be greeting your paying customers. No where on the website or social media does it state they don't offer refunds. Needless to say, I will not be back to this salon. Not because of the nail technician, I would have definitely given her another chance. But Jordan has forever put a bad taste in my mouth with how she so comfortably talked down to me. Beware, stay away.

Today I went in with Alondra, she was so sweet and patient. I told her I wanted a dainty French tip. Throughout the whole process, she asked me for my opinion on the nails. Alondra literally nailed it! I left very satisfied.

The 4 stars are for one thing and one thing only - Whitney. Meticulous and clearly takes pride in what she does. Wonderful nails and and warm personality. Oh and btw she has nice nails (y'all know nail techs with nasty nails is sooo common). Got a pedi from Erika and it was lovely (nice massage too!) Only issue is the wack lady in the front. The salon and people were so nice and the place is cute - then there's the receptionist. Rude and unkempt. No girl. Whitney left me and my girlfriend looking all sorts of cute. Love it

One week after my gel manicure - not worth it
Heather T.

I'm really disappointed. Polished seems to have a good reputation, and the price is reasonable. However, my manicure was somewhat streaky and is very chipped after only about a week. I was not offered anything to drink. All of the manicurists sit at the same communal table and just look at their phones, even the person helping you. My manicurist sat directly across from me and looked at her phone while my old gels soaked off. It was awkward. I think my polish could have used one more coat. She didn't put lotion on my hands or massage my hands when she was done with the polish. I won't be back.

Loved Lu!

This business is super new and I had to try them this weekend based on their work shown on Instagram. I walked in immediately at opening time and others had already beaten me in. I was handed a paper to fill out about what services I would like and picked out my colors. I was also offered a beverage and they had the normal wine, soda, sangria offerings. My nail tech was Lu and I loved her. Lu took her time removed my dip powder nails from my prior salon and even hand filed them down as to not damage my nail beds. The best part of the experience? I didn't feel like a number. And I felt like Lu would really take care of my nails. I have been looking for a boutique salon for some time now and am so glad to have found them. I ended up with shellac nails with a metallic and studded accent nail. The cost was $45 before tip which is the same as many salons in the area.

Ok update on the horrible gel job I got at Polished Nail Lounge.after the paint finally peeled off my skin it chipped off nail In 3 days
Jessica B.

I think the girl I had today was confused on where to stop painting. She had it all over my cuticles and now on the tips of my fingers. I asked her to remove it and she made a face so I told her never mind. I was excited that I had found a new nail place, but I didn't, wont be back. It's been 5 days since the rudest worst nail teck did my nails & still no call from the owner or Mngr even after the receptionist saw the paint all over my fingers & skin. This location will probably be up for lease soon, hopefully a good salon will take its place!

Chipped after 4 days.
Elle G.

I wasn't going to write a review I because it wasn't really worth it, but here goes. I went in for a manicure and pedicure yesterday afternoon, the salon wasn't super busy. The overall look of the salon when you walk in is cute, a little dark but nicely decorated. They have a lot of color options for dip, which is nice since many salons are still just adding it to they're line up. Not sure if there was a receptionist or not, there's no one there at the front to check you in - which if your appointment based, there should be. The girl who did my nails was nice, not very talkative and keeping sniffle and wiping her nose with sweater - not the best thing when your working with people. The pedicure seemed quick. I paid for the black and white one which was suppose to be an upgraded version of their regular pedicure, but honestly seemed like a regular pedicure with a towel wrap at the end. The chair they sat me in was broken, which is not a big deal it happens, but there was no one else getting a pedicure, could have chosen literally any other chair then the broken one. By the time the manicure came I was a little weary already. The counter they do your nails out was a little dirty with nail polish stains, nail dust and what not. It wouldn't hurt to just clean it up a little with some nail polish remover. Again, manicure was fine but my nail tech seemed to be a little frazzled and lost. To take of my dip, she gave me the tiniest bowl for both hands. It was big enough for 1 hand. She didn't seem to have the patience to let it all come off in its own and kept using the mechanical tools to drill it off. I typically like to let it all soak off and use the tool as little as possible to not harm the nail. For shaping and filing, they use the cheapest and smallest nail files. They're like the little files you give to little girls at birthday parties. My $1.00 nail file from Walgreens is 100x better. My nails turned out fine but my nails themself were a little sore and burned a little afterward and passed it off as the tech having the power up too high or going over them too much. Except when I got home and ran something over my middle finger and noticed it was burning and stinging did I notice quite a large cut on in my nail. It literally still burns today. Overall, it's fine if you want a quick service but it's overpriced. I paid $20 more than where I normally got and it def wasn't worth it. The nail tech was fine, but just fine. Seemed frazzled and maybe like she was new. **UPDATE** It's 4 days later and my nail is already chipped. Dip usually lasts me 3 weeks, this chipped while washing dishes. Won't be back.

I got there on time and checked in and they gave me some nail swatches to look thru. After a few minutes, they sat me in a Pedi chair. I continued looking at the swatches and saw Sandy still doing a Pedicure. I turned on the massager on the chair and just chilled out. When she finally got to me, we exchanged pleasantries because it had been awhile since I last saw her. She's very friendly, kind and personable. I like to develop relationships with my Self-Care peeps and it's important to me that they're engaging, talented and easy to get along with. Sandy is that type of person. She's fast and helps me out. I showed her my one broken nail that I told I kept trying to grow out but kept breaking and showed her my thin, scraggly nails. I told her I was trying to grow them out for months after I stopped using Dip Powders. She hooked me up and made them look pretty even if the nails weren't long. Kudos to her and thank you for not letting me feel embarrassed about the state of my toes and nails, LOL!! She'd just say "It's okay! I'll take care of you!" :-)

As I'm new to the San Antonio area, I scrambled to find a nail salon near me with reasonable prices. I came across an Instagram ad/ offer for Trio Nail Lounge (25% off your bill) and figured I'd give it a go! I called and was told they're very busy and that I could go online to make an appointment. I quickly logged on an made a 3:30PM Appt. I was a bit irritated they wouldn't just make the reservation over the phone, but things could be worse. When I arrived at my appointment time.. they weren't ready for me and had no clue what I wanted/ that I would be coming in. As such... they didn't get me in until close to 4. I learned while getting my nails done that they were short on techs that day and just really pressed for time. Unfortunately, that did mean my manicure was very rushed as well. Now for the positives- my nails looked GREAT when they were finished, they had a fantastic selection of colors, this place was clean, and with the offer- you couldn't beat the prices. I originally thought I would go back and give them another chance because it's a good location and I had rocking nails when done, but on my second time going... even getting an appointment was too difficult with them. They never confirmed my online booking appointment and then when I called, they made it difficult as well. One thing to note at this salon is they ONLY do GEL Polish on pedicures... no regular Polish. So be prepared for that! My nails are overly short in the photo because they kept breaking from a previous manicure- not because of this place!

The service was wonderful. The salon is very very clean. It's beautiful! Perfect location next to…read morean authentic Italian Restaurant too! My daughter for old nails removed and new put on.

I showed her what I was looking for and because my nails were still growing, she told me her thoughts. I wanted a design that incorporated a French tip but it would look awkward on a short nail.

Her attention to detail and the time she took made it all worth it because I loved how they came out. The vibe was relaxing as always and we did a little catching up as well.

Update: I found Hectors Nails and they are the best thing to happen to me they were kind and were even amazed at how poorly my ombré nails were and were super quick to fix them!!
