Location: 20th st Staff: friendly, fast. Girl at front desk was very friendly, greets everyone as they walk in and makes sure everyone is taken care properly. Cindy did my pedicure and everything was great. Price: moderate Parking: plenty, front and side staff was very friendly and fast. Location was very clean, they use a new plastic for each pedicure and open a new utensil bag for each person. Kids: took my daughter and niece and they both loved it! Ladies were friendly and made them feel comfortable. Unfortunately my manicure didn't last, as I walked out and started driving manicure started to messed up as if it was melting. I called and they right away said to go back to get them fixed. I went back but it once again happened. Not sure if it was the brand as I waited 8minutes with the tiny fan. (Brand is Essie ) read more

Don't get your nails done before vacation. Wait and get it done here if you're staying in Houston Heights. We were staying in the neighborhood on vacation and I had a pedicure, manicure, and eyebrow threading for less than $100 and the service was great. The only confusing thing was I made an appt online and the prices were different online vs the store. read more

Relaxing, moderate and reasonable prices. Love The lining on the bowls and that a fresh and new utensil is used for each customer. Complimentary drink is offered which adds to the experience. Cindy was excellent on the foot massage, firm but gentle, exactly what my feet needed. The de stress pedicure includes neck and shoulder massage. There was not a wait time and so it made my Sunday that much better. Great place to give yourself some "me time". read more

I visited this location based on a colleague saying it was her "go to" nail salon. I should have looked over the reviews on here, because it was very much a one time trip after my experience. I made reservations late in the day for a same day appointment for mani pedis and was able to get in. When I walked in, I was told to choose a color, then ushered into a room... next door? The layout was really confusing. I waited in the massage chair for about 15 minutes until someone came over and met me and started on my pedicure. I run as part of my regular workout, so my heels always need a little bit extra attention. When I asked her to use the heavy duty scrubber on my heels, she started using it ALL OVER my foot, really hard (OUCH), and didn't focus enough on the heels. I was assuming someone was going to do my manicure as my pedicure was being done, but no one ever came. Once the pedicure was done, I was taken back to the first room and sat down at one of the tables. At this point, I was already in there for over an hour. I chose a really light pink/almost white color, and the nail tech only put two coats on. Needless to say, it's been under a week, and my thumb nail shellac has already chipped. All things considered, the girls were nice, so I tipped 18% like I typically do. But this mani/pedi job was NOT worth the $90+. read more

I had time to kill between a facial and a hair appointment & desperately needed a gel manicure. I didn't want to go far from my next appointment, so I stumbled upon this nail salon with no appointment on a Saturday morning. The front desk was very welcoming & didn't pressure me to get a pedicure, as a lot of other nail salons do. I was immediately seated & attended to. I was very happy with the service & the salon is beautiful. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Yes, I still love Prestigious. Yes, they're still BYOB. Yes, my gel nails still last about three weeks (get OPI) Yes, walk-ins are still welcome ... HOWEVER ... I do now rec calling ahead of time for an appointment. Even if it's 30 minutes before running out the door, trust me. It's better than getting there and waiting 30 to 45 minutes. It's growing in popularity, and I'm lucky enough to work from home so I can swing in during off-hours ... but as soon as things pick up, the groups start flooding in. Just a note. Oh, and the back private room (to the left) that holds 3 people is great for group outings. I got to kick it with my girlies and fellow yelpers Terah and Alison. We had a great time with wine and a few giggles. read more

Prestigious Nails - I was their first client to check out OPI's gel polish. - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time coming to the this spot near my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I needed to get a pedi done on my lunch break before the Mother's Day weekend rush. The employees were attentive. Throughout getting my pedi Myra made sure her services were to my liking and I was okay with how everything looked. Even with the rush, she was efficient to have my pedi done in a timely manner. I appreciate her courtesy and kind nature. I will definitely be a returning client. Note to anyone wanting a specific time of color. They have tons of colors and new bright colors OPI colors for the summer season. read more

Use to love this place, clean, does a great job and my shellac lasts. But recently they've started charging $5 to remove shellac. No other place does this so it made me typically $30-33 shellac $43 - will not be going back! It was also annoying because they did my nails last time, so if I'm a returning customer then they should remove it for free. read more

Prestigious Nails - The Mani & Pedi Area is amazing!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had booked a mani/pedi through ClassPass here and got a confirmation for my appointment. When I arrived, they told me they no longer accept ClassPass and refused to honor my confirmed appointment. They also refused to go into their system to cancel the ClassPass appointments forcing me to pay twice! Everyone I spoke to refused to try to solve the problem and just kept saying "We don't accept ClassPass". They left me sitting in a pedicure chair with cold water for 20 minutes and refused to get started until a manager showed up and I said I'd pay with a card. All I wanted was for them to either honor the ClassPass appts or cancel them so I wasn't charged twice. I've never had a worse experience at a salon in my life. This business does not care about fixing their mistakes and they certainly don't care if their customers have a decent experience. The technician was good, I'm sure it was an awkward experience for her but none of it was her fault and she did a good job regardless. read more

0 stars. The yellowing of the top coat that I asked to be removed and they refused ended up turning my nails green/yellow. It became fungal and it's because of their tools and polish. I have had to escalate to a doctor to treat the fungal infection they gave to me. Avoid this salon for the health of your nails. read more

Went in for my first time and left extremely furious. The wait was not long at all, but when I saw how my nails turned out, I knew I would never return to this place again. Mostly all of my nails were uneven, and not glued properly. I kid you not, as soon as I opened the door to my truck, my index finger nail popped off. They charged $50 for work that was totally not worth it. When I asked for a re-do, they only cut them down which made it look even worse. I'd never recommend this place to anybody. read more

GO LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE! This is the worst nail experience I've EVER had so it warranted me creating an account to post this review. After cutting my finger so bad that they couldn't do the nail the first time I went, I decided to give this place another try. I asked for gel nails and halfway through I realized it didn't seem like gel. Upon telling me it was regular polish the girl offered to redo them. Since I had to get back to work I asked if I could come in the next day to get them fixed and she confirmed that was ok. So I paid for my manicure and left, fully expecting to pay the price difference for the gel the next day. The following day, I took off work and even called ahead to get them fixed, but to my surprise they rang me up for a full set. When I questioned it the lady grabbed my card and charged it herself. The lady argued with me, yelling at me that I was in the wrong and didn't understand, all while I stayed kind and calm. Eventually I was told the manager would call me and discuss my refund. After 2 weeks of calling I finally got the manager on the phone who was also argumentative and not accommodating whatsoever. Long story short, I have never encountered such rude and incompetent staff, poor management, and sleezy business tactics. If you make a mistake, do not blame the customer and make them spend their time and money to fix it. Side note: if you read through their past reviews there's many similar awful experiences obviously flooded over with fake posts to boost their ratings. read more

The relaxing atmosphere at prestigious was exactly what I look for in a nail salon. Very clean, great massage chairs and friendly staff. Vincent did an awesome job on my shellac pedicure- great attention to detail! Overall didn't feel rushed like at other nail salons. First time here and definitely coming back! read more

Ok so I'm fully aware that nail salons are struggling due to covid but the very least please be personable. Most nail salons I go to are amazing they are ready for conversation and making the person feel welcomed. It's a place we go to to relax...... and this experience was awful the nails themselves were good not great but good. I had chao and unfortunately she made no attempt to even have a conversation with me they were like robotic the. There was a lady that was working on nail trays and yelled out shit ! Very unprofessional... as soon as I walked in it seemed as tho I was an inconvenience! Not coming back here again. read more

The picture is of the redo because the first manicure didn't dry. I went back 4 hours later to show them that the polish was easily getting dents. They told me that it takes two hours for polish to dry. This kinda annoyed me because I am pretty familiar with how nail polish works. They redid the polish with a different brand, but this time there are bubbles. The staff is great. The service is awesome. The quality of their polish selection is iffy. I would suggest bringing your own or get gel. read more

This nail salon is clean and I have been a customer there for numerous times. They always offer a drink, which is nice. Their prices are not cheap, but not expensive, actually just like the norm. An appointment is not required and I have not had to wait, since I go on Mon or Tues, during the day. read more

I requested a polish removal and manicure. Waited 10 minutes as four others walked in after me were helped. Was the request to remove polish to much of a hassle?

I love it here... feels so relaxing and enjoy it alot. Great customer service and especially the nail tech named Loan is very sweet and does a marvelous job on pedicures and massage.

I have been coming here for years. Easy walk in style or you can make an appt. very clean and well kept. Nevertheless worry about who does the service as they are all good. Calm environment and relaxing. Has been recently updated with new pedicure chairs. read more

I tried giving this place a chance as it's very close to my house. My nails look SO bad. Im really not sure my technician knew how to do dip nails. I went in with one nail completely broken, and had to ask her to put a tip on. Then she did not make it match the others. Before I finished I had to ask her to redo two of the nails because she had smudged them. I got home and they look even worse then I thought. They are crusty all around the edges. Unfortunately I will not be able to make this my regular salon. read more

Good location - check. Economical - check. Quality - check. Good customer service - check. Clean - check. Freebies - check. What more can you ask for from a salon? The decor is nice with a French/romantic (and not cheesy) feel. There are high-def flat screen TVs tuned in to HGTV. There's also granite counter tops. I got a pedicure and I have to honestly say this was the best pedicure I've ever gotten... especially at $23. I got to sit back in a massage chair while my feet were soaking in the awesome foot spa. The pedi was not rushed and my pedicurist took his time. My feet and calves were massaged. It. was. awesome. I think I was in that chair for 45 min. They have matte OPI polish! As my friend and I were waiting for our toes to dry, we were offered a complimentary neck, shoulder, and head massage. Sweet! We took them up on the offer and we really didn't want to go out into the snow. This place also does hair cuts. I told the hubby he needs to go here -- it's only $6.99 for a men's cut. I will be back! read more

This is a great nail salon in the Sawyer Heights area next to the Target. I've been here a few times now and I'd totally recommend it. I thought it helped to make a reservation as I have tried both ways -- walk in and reservation. I was seated a little quicker with the reservation! The only con is that there's usually a wait (because it's busy and soo good). It also does take a while for everything to get done, so do not go if you are in a hurry! I got a full set with shellac one time for engagement pictures and it took almost 2 hours (not including my wait time of 15-25 minutes). However, the selection of colors and the ability of the nail artists (from what I've seen and experienced) is awesome and of quality work! They'll work with you to make you happy if you just talk to them about your expectations. I'm not fond of when my nails are super thick when I get dip or acrylic sometimes, but communicate that and it won't happen! I even saw a dad with his younger daughter getting nails for the first time and the artist worked with both the girl and the dad to compromise! It was cute, but also a testament that they focus of customer service no matter your age or situation! read more

When they tell you they don't have the hardening spray & you put your sandals back on after 35 minutes. Then take them off. I really like this place but seriously. I will have to go back tomorrow because they're closing soon. read more

I have had two experiences at this nail Salon and I have not been happy for either. The person who did my manicure was so rushed and it don't feel nice or relaxing. The outcome also was less than pleasing. I wanted clear polish. For some reason she used the filer to rough up my nails before she used the polish. She also didn't clean under my nails. The result is rough scratched up nails that don't look like anything happened to it. That happened both times. The unfair part is that the girl who did my pedicure, the second visit, was thorough and did a great job. But this second time I had an important engagement and what she did to my nails was just too bad to give them a good review. I tried to excuse her in my mind and aloud, by remarking that they must be tired since they are so busy with the holidays. The lady who did a terrible manicure responded that she wasn't tired at all- she likes when it is busy bc when it is slow she feels like falling asleep. So really, no excuse for her. read more

Before they remodeled the nail techs were amazing and the pedi packages and pricing were both great. Now the new staff is very mechanical, the pedi packages are lame and the prices are not worth the services that are received. Never going back. I used to go with a friend 2-3 times a month... Heights Nail Spa is so much better. I'll let them take my money! read more

I use to came here a while back with my grandchildren when they were young. We loved it and appreciated the thoughtful service. I went today for the first time in a long while. Everything had changed. The front desk acted bored and non responsive. The foot massage was worth the trip. Otherwise I will not return again. The communication was dead. The loving enthusiasm at it's lowest. Nothing is personal anymore. They have lost their glow. read more

I have been coming here for the past 2.5 years because it's so close to where I live. They do a great job and their pricing is very reasonable. I usually get the shellac or dip manicures and regular pedicures and I'm always pleased! Update 06/2020: prestigious just did a remodel and everything looks updated and clean! Great move on their part! read more

Oh Shnap! The secret is out. The nails side of the salon has been booming for some time, but now the massage side: the precious, fabulous, absurdly priced massage side is booming too?? Psst. You. Yeah, you! If you haven't heard you can get a ONE HOUR reflexology massage for $28. Yeah, I freakin' dare you to find a better deal elsewhere in Houston. Walk-ins "welcome" but appointments necessary. read more

Every single month for the past 3 and a half years, I've been getting my acrylic nails refilled (don't judge me- it's my guilty pleasure). So when I moved to Houston a little over a year ago, I asked around to find out where a good place is in the Heights to get my nails done. Every single person recommended Prestigious, and after doing some Yelp research, it was clear that this salon has a monopoly on the Heights. So I went, got a great acrylic fill, finally settled on a nail tech who does a consistently good job, and continued to go for the past year since living in Houston. Unfortunately, with each appointment that passes, I am less and less happy with the service. I'm pretty sure the nail tech I routinely request hates me- she always looks disappointed to see me and refuses to make conversation during my hour long appointments. I even tried generously beefing up her tip, but still nothing. Last time I came in to get a nail fill, I asked to make a pedicure appointment for afterwards. The nail tech (Trish) agreed and said ok, but I never saw her put my name on the list. I asked again to make sure I had an appointment set for when my nails were done, and she nodded. After she finished my nails, I asked about getting a pedicure and she shook her head and said no, I'd have to wait with everybody else coming in. I paid for my nails and left immediately. Prestigious knows they have a monopoly in the area, and their actions show it. Going there feels like running through an assembly line. They want to get you in, get the work done, and get you out as fast as they can so they can take the next appointment. The nail techs don't care if you're getting your toes done for your best friend's wedding that weekend. They don't care if your gel manicure chipped after 2 days. They don't care about much of anything besides finishing up their work and running your credit card through their machine. And do you think that they'll ever care or even notice that I'm no longer getting my nails done there? NOPE! read more

OK, yelp has usually helped me, but I think prior reviews are overated. First, this place was hard to find, as 20th st has WEST (where all the stores are) and EAST (past the school). Parking is limited. English is broken. We were taken to the back for pedicures, and while we booked together, we were seated apart. The chairs are comfortable, human touch, the kind you find at Brookstone. The instruments were not all sterile, as in I think they re-used brushes and loofahs. I hate to be picky, but their towels were all discolored - probably from the mud. The mud gave me a rash. Massage was light, not that great. The lady who did my pedicure made a lot of mistakes and had to bring a brush with acetone to clean it up at the end. They did use a base coat, only 1 coat of color, and one clear coat on top. Was it worth $34, me thinks not. I didn't really feel that relaxed and I didn't think it was that clean. The pictures look better than the real deal. Bora Bora was soooo much better. Won't be back, and I was ashamed to have brought a friend. read more

I don't know about you, but I am accident prone to ruining my nails. Well, good new for those people like me.... They have a new nail polish that is gel based. And it is AMAZING! It is similar to when you go to the dentist and get an impression and they put that blue light in your mouth. The same technology is used in a nail salon now. They put on the polish then you place it under a blue light, 4 coats later you have completely dry nails without any dings. The new polish also last for weeks without chipping. It also make my nails feel stronger compared to the OPI nail polish. I am a big fan - it is truly amazing! read more

I've had happy, healthy nails my entire life. I've never had any medical problems requiring treatment. I moved to Houston in March. Based on the recommendation of a friend I gave this salon a try. They seemed to do a competent, if a bit aggressive job on a pedicure. About a month or two after I started going here, I developed a nail fungus. I guess I was pretty oblivious to the risks at nail places; this one seemed clean enough. It took six months of a prescription ointment to cure it. read more

Seriously? A super cheap but clean nail spa in The Heights? That's all I need to hear and I am hooked! I got a mani-pedi last week and it was fantastic. Add to that, that it was only $38 and it's one of the best I've had. Hot towel massages, salt scrub, and jewelry cleaning for no extra charge. The service was spectacular, and the spa is amazingly clean, with 6 or 8 flat screens for your enjoyment. My only complaint is that they did not have Essie's Mademoiselle, which should be standard in all nail spas. Fortunately, I found a similar OPI color...but still. They were extremely busy for a Friday 10 a.m., you may want to call for an appointment. read more

This place has a lock on the quickie manicure market in the Heights, and for good reason. The price is right and the service is efficient. The staff are friendly, though not effusively so. Personally, I like not having to make small talk when all I want to do is veg out, so it works for me. It's pretty much always packed, so call ahead to save yourself time. I usually call 30 minutes or so in advance and I haven't had a problem getting in. There are TONS of Shellac/Gelish/etc. colors, and they do a good job - my manicure was going strong for two weeks before I started compulsively peeling off the polish. My only qualm is that the machines you put your hands in to dry the gel manicures are absolutely filthy. I think I contracted finger cholera (or I would have, if that was a thing) from sliding my hands into those nasty little boxes. read more

I cheated on my regular nail place, and sincerely regret it. I got the shellac manicure, and am not happy. I previously had gel polish on my nails, so the manicurist used the file to loosen the gel. She was so rough that she filed my skin around the nail, causing me to bleed. When I pointed out what happened, she did not apologize but rather laughed about it. I've been clipped before on my cuticles, and it stings, but never so roughly handled during a manicure. Some of the nails are filed down to the quick, others aren't. I also have polish on my cuticles. The massage was also very rough, and I was concerned she was going to bruise me. I question the cleanliness of the salon. I didn't like seeing her flick other people's cuticle skin out of the cuticle trimmer and then use it right on me (especially since at that point I had an open cut.) Very disappointed with this place. read more

I'm from out of town, so this is my first time going to Prestigious Nails. I made an appointment with a friend to stop in at 6pm for a full set of solar nails as well as a pedicure. I guess it was a bit late for me to venture in for both services, but I had specified the things I wanted done when I was making the phone appointment and they had said they can totally accommodate both before closing time (7pm). So when I got there, a lady starts me off on my full set of solar nails....but before she barely had all my tips glued on, she decided to go help another client who is complaining about the wait for a facial. So I was pushed to go get my pedicure, with my tips hanging off, and my nails half buffed. The pedicure, thankfully, was much better done. I really have no real complaints there, besides the fact that the girl who did it kept checking her blackberry every once in a while (which is fine because she still did a great job). After my pedicure, I sat around and waited for the lady who started on my solar nails to get back to me....but she was nowhere to be found. 10 minutes later, another lady decides to finish the job herself..and began to pack on the solar powder on my nails...and before I knew it, she was "done" with the job. I didn't get my cuticles trimmed or pushed back. I didn't get any sort of a hand massage. My nails are unevenly trimmed/cut, and they are filed weirdly at the edges. I am aware that getting a full set of solar nails should take around a hour if done right....but this set I had on only took max 30 minutes. I definitely felt like they were rushing to get the job done so that I can leave. This poor treatment became even more apparent after they asked whether I was from Houston or out of town...and once I had admitted that I was from out of town, the irresponsible services became ever more evident. I guess they assumed that they didn't need to please me as much since there is little chance I'd come back anyway. But I'm posting this review up because I am utterly dissatisfied with the services I received. The only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is because the pedicure warranted some merit. read more
