Pros: Friendly staff, good service, reasonable prices, great selection of gel and polish colors, good massage (as part of the deluxe mani and pedi), everything appears individually sanitized or disposables are used... Cons: Needs additional staff, Facebook appointments may not get checked. I came in after calling to change the appointment I made through their Facebook page. I'm not sure they check those, so probably just call them if you want an appointment. They seem reasonably popular as there were already four people there before me, and two more came in after I did. Services took longer than I expected because they were in process with other people as I got there. Since I wasn't in a rush, this didn't bother me. Staff checked in with me at every step of the process and multitasked really effectively. I'm very happy with my gel French tips on my natural nails. read more

I live in Virginia and used their website to request a mani/pedi for two. They were prompt and polite in responding, and my Bobcat and I enjoyed our mini spa day today! They did a great job with our nails and they are priced competitively. Tip your service people. I'll be back the next time I come to San Marcos. read more

Queen Nails - Thumbs up! - Nail Salons Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

I decided to get a pedicure at Queen Nails since I desperately needed to give my feet some tlc. So glad I did! I got the Basic Pedicure, which comes with a lotion massage. The foot and leg massage was honestly the best part, as always, because I'm a sucker for massages. The man and woman who did my pedicure today were very kind. The nail shaping and painting could've been done a little bit better though. Minus one star for that small inconvenience. Queen Nails, overall, is a yes in my book! read more

Yesterday afternoon I got shellac done after full removal of dipping powder done at a different salon. This was my first time here since I'm from Austin. The staff was nice and took me in right away as a walk in, which i appreciated. My nails were a bit uneven when I left but I have not had shellac done it a while so I assumed it's how shellac sets. The staff asked me how I was throughout this process and listened to how I liking my nails. That evening my boyfriend grabbed my hand to hold it and one of the nail repairs (fake nails) that was added during my visit broke off along with half of my real nail. Then this morning I woke up to one of my regular nails with shellac being broken in half. Since I was displeased I went to the salon where they apologized and fixed my two nails right away. read more

My son brought me in to do my nails. Came for a full set and this is what I left with. 50.00 at that. Absolutely horrible. Even after I told the woman doing my nails they were crooked they still came out like this. Paint on my fingers. Acrylic nails way oversized. She pushed them so far back that you can't even see my cuticles. They look like a horrible press on nail job. 4 stars is a complete lie. This place is not even worth one star. Never ever will I go back. read more

This was my first time getting my nails done in San Marcos and I definitely will be back! I decided to get a mani / pedi in preparation for my birthday and I'm very glad I came here to do it. I came midday on a Monday so it was pretty slow, allowing me to seen immediately. The woman doing my nails was very kind and gentle. She took great care of me and my nails look wonderful. Prices are pretty reasonable here. It got a little busier towards the end of my visit, so it may be beneficial to go at odd times but you can always call ahead and get an appointment if needed. Thanks for the great experience! read more

1. I called and asked for a ballpark price for a short basic acrylic set. They said $35 on the phone but when I went to pay it was $55!!! Insane. My nails are literally almost as short as my real nails and I requested square but of course they never listen and did coffin instead. 2. I scheduled the appt for 3:30 but they didn't start on my nails until 20 mins later. 1st red flag because they were catering to other people who didn't have an appt. 3. Once I finally got in the chair she rushed through them and did a horrible paint job. I believe in tipping so I tipped well but the quality was terrible! The picture I took was exactly one week after getting my nails done. I've had nails last 3 weeks untouched in my hometown. This place rips off college kids! Do not recommend. read more

I just moved to the area about a month ago and was looking for a place to get a pedicure. This salon is about 10 minutes from my house, so it's super convenient. I walked in without an appointment about 15 minutes after they opened and they took me right away. The entire experience was absolutely wonderful! I saw Charlie and I believe she said her name was Karin. Charlie took off my previous polish and gave me my calf and foot massage which was to die for. He did such an amazing job and I felt so relaxed afterwards. Karin then came over and painted my nails, and I asked her to round my tips a little bit because they were a little sharp for me liking, and she did a perfect job! I will 100% be back to this salon and highly recommend them! read more

Absolutely Terrible SNS / Dip manicure. I asked my manicurist multiple times to fix some issues, and it just kept getting worse. I finally gave up trying to communicate the problems, bc she was clearly not going to give me what it was wanting. I asked for an almond shape, but first she gave me round and when I asked her to fix she gave me something resembling what I'll call 'soft coffin'. There are also both dips and bumps, not smooth at all. Some nails are super thin, some are incredibly thick. They also charged me $10 more than they did for the exact same thing 2 weeks ago. Oh! And she got the dip product all over my hands and I asked her multiple times to use polish remover to get it off and Instead SHE USED A ROUGH NAIL FILE ON MY SKIN. I'll never go back read more

I want to start by saying the people here are super friendly and nice. It was my first time coming in here and all I asked for was a short all white full set. Pretty simple. My nails were crooked and uneven and each nail was a different length. The nails were also very bumpy and not smooth nor clean looking. Overall each nail looked different besides the fact that they were all white. I would've said something in the moment but I was honestly just waiting to see the end result in hopes of it turning out good. I'd give my nails a solid 3/10. I even looked over at the girls getting her nails done next to me and her short nails were also uneven, bumpy, and crooked. After refilling my nails myself I have them where they are presentable (barely) but there was only so much I could do due to the unevenness. But the people were nice. read more

I loved loved loved this nails salon! I'm so sad they opened when I only have half a year left in San Marcos. My friend and I went in today without appointments and they took us in right away. They offered us something to drink (water, soda, wine) and asked us to choose a color. I got dipped powder that's originally $40 but had 20% off because of their grand opening! All the staff was super nice! The guy that did my nails was super attentive of details and making sure I liked it! I got a single color but the don't charge for choosing more than one color. They also don't charge for square, square-oval, and oval shapes but they charge $5 more for stiletto, coffin, and almond, I believe. They also mentioned how if one of our nails was to break, they would not charge extra to fix it, which I think is amazing! I just love this place and I think it's probably one of the top nail shops in San Marcos for sure! read more

I love this nail salon so much! I've been looking for a new nail place in San Marcos for a while now and I think I'm going to make this my new regular spot. The staff is super friendly and really made my comfort a priority. The one older man who owns the salon did my nails as well as two of my friends and he made sure to take his time even though he was busy. I got the dip powder and it was reasonably priced, considering how expensive other salons are in the area. They offer student discounts as well so if you're a Texas State student I would highly recommend! read more

I've only ever gotten pedicures here, but I've been really pleased each time I've gone. The first time I went was after not having had a pedicure in seven (!) months. My technician was very sweet and took the time to do what she could to get my feet looking soft and nice again. I was back a week later because I messed up the polish by dragging my toes against a pool wall trying to get out of the water (I think; I had had a few beers...). I was annoyed that I had the spend the money again, but truth be told, I really needed another callus treatment regardless. I just had my third pedicure from this place yesterday, and it looks great. The previous pedi, which I had gotten three weeks ago, still actually looked pretty good and with no chips yet, except it was growing out. Aside from being satisfied with the service, this is the only place I've been to in San Marcos where they didn't try to upsell me or spring a surprise charge on me during payment (I got a manicure at another place in town that advertised for $15; I asked for buffing instead of polish, and wasn't told it was an extra $5 until it was time to pay. Boooooo!). Other things I like: it's clean, the techs have always been friendly to me, they offer a drink before service (with COLD bottled water), and as a Texas State student, I get 10% off. read more

Everyone who works here is very sweet. I got a mani/pedi with gel polish and it looks perfect!

My classic pedicure came out terrible. I had a bunch of dead skin left over. My nails weren't the same length. The lady half assed it and was rude. This was definitely a waste of $27. Don't waste you money here. I would give them zero stars, if it was possible. 10/10 would recommend the tony moly foot mask from Ulta over this place. read more

The place gets the job done. I went in to get acrylic nails done. I wasn't wowed by the end result but it's not horrible, I can live with the nails. My only complaint is that whenever he was in the middle of doing my nails, he was on the phone and making phone calls. read more

I asked for a black french tip, something so simple and i had to correct her at least 5 times because she couldn't do it right. Eventually I gave up and they don't look at all what I wanted them to look like. It was a very frustrating experience and I wouldn't recommend getting your nails done here unless you want one simple color over ur whole nail then maybe they can do that. The lady was pretty nice but if she couldn't do something this simple when I showed her the picture she should've told me and I would've gone somewhere else. read more

I've come here a couple times since moving to San Marcos and they never disappoint !! The staff is super sweet and they're all very knowledgeable on what they're doing. I always feel welcome even when I come as a walk in when they're a little busy!! Would definitely recommend this place. read more

I had made an appointment for a basic pedicure($25) and a full set with colored powder ($40). I arrived 20min prior to my appointment incase there was a wait. However, being that it was Monday, they took me in right away. They had very Friendly service and offered beverages as well as Sanitary conditions with new utensils used per costumer. As I moved from the pedicure station to get my nails. The nail tech was a bit rushed and left one finger nail not to my liking. Despite that everyone was friendly. They did make small talk and conditions of the nail salon were good. They do provide a 10% discount for college students however, per their website this offer does end by the 15th of December 2019. My pedicure came out flawless. And overall I did like my nails. There website is equipped with the prices for all their services which made a huge difference instead of having to call in and ask. I really liked this salon and think it deserved 4 Stars for my entire visit. read more
