Communication, I had asked for a French manicure with polish and once they were applying it th French white part was very thick and made my toes look terrible. I then asked for skinnier French polish and was told they couldn't do that and it would have to be gel - which didn't make sense to me as I have gotten this before elsewhere and they looked better. I asked to remove it and went to pay for the foot soak and polish removal where they tried to charge me 37 dollars - again did not make sense since I was upset with my service. I asked for just the price of the soak and removal and paid 34 dollars for that. In the past I also have come here with a 30 percent off coupon and the lady gave me a dollar off instead of the 30 and tore up the coupon when I asked for it back. Just not ran professionally or as if they care about their clientele. Just another chop shot read more

Not my favorite nail salon, and it was a sub-par experience overall. Unfortunately, I took my sister here for her first manicure, and it did not meet expectations (one of her nail's polish chipped the next day...). I had wanted us to get the Russian e-file manicure and when I called this establishment the day before to make an appointment, the person answering the phone said they offered it...but I guess all they heard was "manicure" and said "yes" so that they could score some business. The techs were nice and professional, but the technique could be better. I got simple gel polish over my natural nails (needed a break from acrylic). I showed an inspo photo but the result did not meet my expectations. Of course with a natural nail, there will be natural imperfections due to the strength and shape of the nail, but what I received was something I could have done at home... I was hoping for a mint-colored french tip but the tech only put one, light layer of color, so it ended up looking white on my nails. And I was charged $17 bucks for it. All-in-all, will take my time to go to a salon that works for me and my needs, even if I have to book it well out in advance. read more

Sola Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had been coming here for a year and I have left disappointed the last few times. It is really shame. The quality of their new technicians has gone downhill. My nails had paint everywhere and uneven shapes. I unfortunately won't be coming back and they've lost a loyal customer. read more

Sola Nails - Uneven nails with paint everywhere. Not clean. - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Had a phenomenal experience here I was greeted with kindness and immediate attention. I was late to my appointment and they were super kind and super forgiving. The atmosphere was phenomenal. And I got exactly what I asked for. Couldn't ask for a better place to go to get your nails done. And the price was amazing. I don't think I've seen any prices in Austin that are this great for such a job Well done. Thank you guys and I will be back again. read more

I think this place has changed hands. I didn't think to look up Yelp reviews as I've been here several times over the past few years. Things have changed with the set up inside. I usually do my own toes, but came here to treat myself. To a cut toe (it bled for a while), a deformed toe trim, and a much worse nail polish job than I could do myself (and I'm pretty bad). read more

Sola Nails - Polish not covering all of toe. Skin not covering all of toe. Nail of toe, well, there's still some there, so I am thankful for that. - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I think I have been here 3 times. Of those 3, I have only left once feeling good about my nails. They are conveniently located next to my work so I kept giving Sola nails a chance, but now I will no longer return. Each time I have been, I have waited 30+ minutes for my nails to be done. To be fair, I did not have an appointment, and I am new to acrylic nails so I am not sure if that is normal or not. On top of the wait, my sub-par nails have taken 1.5-2 hours. This last time I had my nails done was the tipping point for me. I waited 30 Min and it took ~2 hours for my nails to be done and this is what I received (see photos): at least 7 coats of nail polish on my left hand and 5 on my right, two different shades on my left versus right hand, and nail shape very different from what I asked for. Please see the photos for reference. At the end, there were at least two upgrade charges for $15+ and one upgrade charge for ~$5. Because I have been in the service industry, I know the value of tips, and still tipped 20%, bringing my total to $92.40. The French tip nails with white tips, are the nails I went in with and I asked for the same shape (round almond). The shape I received is thicker on the tips than at the cuticle. Additionally, some nails are very thick, and there is nail polish left all over my cuticles and skin. Overall, for these reasons I will not be returning, and have been disappointed with most of my services here. read more

Angry. Thats the best way I can describe my experience so far. I've been going for about 5 or 6 months now, so I've had several services - I'm not saying this without consideration. I've sat through having a great pedi but then my gelx manicure was massacred. Not the length I wanted, and nail shapes all wildly not uniform or any semblance of it. I've had a good pedicure, but my request for hot wax was ignored and then I was upcharged for a pedicure I didn't request. They did fix it after a few minutes of back and forth with the receptionist. An ok pedicure but ultimately bad. The color I showed on my phone of a sheer pink, she confidently said yes, well do this color then this color over. 1.5 hours later for what should be a 45-60 min service max, after she applied the 3 coats - I'm hangry. I'm exhausted. This is partially on me. I was not happy but instead of communicating, paid the overpriced fees then went home and had to attempt to fix. My at home job ended up looking better and I should have learned. Why did i come back? I don't know. Convenience. In my routine. Next to Target. they have a booking appointment on their site which they do follow which I like a lot. Since they just took over this place in February I guess I keep hoping. Next pedicure, good. Kai did a great job. Actually, excellent. Today. I made an appointment earlier this week for 11:30 pedi today with who I thought was Kai. My mistake I did not get Kai. I didn't even get the same presenting gender as Kai. I needed powder on one of my toes as it came off due to injury. Fine. No problem. Taking off my existing gel, and shaping, I got cut the f up. This honestly doesn't usually bother me but wow, I'm not sure how she didn't notice how much she had cut into my big toe. The powder shaping was bad. Really bad. I had to ask 2 times to please make it thinner, my nail bed is no where near that wide. TMI but I had an ingrown toe nail surgery at 13 so I'm very aware how uneven my toenail beds are. I don't usually take pics of my toes but please understand that my right toe bed is slightly more wide than my left. I have attached a photo, it's disgustingly overdone and this was after some reshaping. The technician said kind words but the feeling was wearing thin. I literally told her exactly the same - I had surgery and although it's gone I know exactly where my nail bed is at. I was there at least 1.5 hrs for a pedicure that I need antibiotics for (I would have tried to stick up for myself longer but I had a work call) i got a shape and service and color that I'm underwhelmed and/or unhappy with. In my ideal safe world, would never have gone home with my feet looking like this. It's disgusting and a waste of money. TLDR: HEAVILY don't recommend read more

Sola Nails - My right toe is wildly silly. - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

After finding my new nail tech Henry, I've been coming to this place. Even after he left I decided to come back. I always bring my five year old to get her nails and toes painted as well. We do not do gel because it does not last as long as polish does for her. We have tried gel previously and it came off in two days. Well here we are again. After going back and forth with the nail tech telling her it doesn't last and picking polish. I gave in because she would not stop! Something that went from $15 to $20 plus $8 then in the end cost me $40. Today after two days, the whole piece of polish came off. So disappointing!!!! read more

This was my first time here- It was beautiful and was so exited that maybe I found a new nail place. The nail tech started digging with a tool I've never seen, I screamed ouch multiple times to the point where people were looking over at me. She never asked if she should stop or seemed alarmed at all. She was literally pulling away at the skin to the side of my nails whereas I'm pretty sure it should be cut. Then when it started to bleed, she didn't even flinch and just put some type of clear polish on it then said "feel better now?" It's now infected and I have to go on antibiotics and potentially have it drained. Steer clear of this place. read more

Sola Nails - SNS manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm so glad I gave this place a shot! I'm not very knowledgeable about nails and have been going to the same place for years. The staff here helped me pick what is best for what I wanted (I don't like the colored powder because I prefer refills over a whole new set) and got right to work. They were kind and friendly. My nail length and finished look came out perfect. This is now my spot! They're running a special right now since they just opened! Go here! read more

Every tool was dirty. I asked for matte and my tech agreed, then I see she put gloss on instead. when I asked why it wasn't matte she said "oh it gets dirty in a few days." I wish that was brought up in our convo but instead she just did whatever she wanted. My actual fingers hurt from how hard she was gripping them and my nails are so thin after drilling off old gel. I used to come here all the time but it's actually a hazard to be operating like this. read more

Henry did an amazing job on my gel nails! I called ahead to make sure there was no wait and as soon as I arrived I didn't wait anything at all to be seated. Henry took his time on my nails and asked multiple times if I wanted any changes and was extremely patient with me! This will absolutely be my new regular spot. This is the best experience I've had in over a year in Austin! read more

Christina is the BEST!!! Very professional and always does a fantastic job!! Very clean and very sweet.

My daughter booked an early Mother's Day manicure for the both of us and after doing some research, she found this little gem. I have my normal place so when my daughter told me she she made arrangements for us to get manicures together I was excited but a little nervous to try a new spot. But I'm glad we did. The inside is beautiful and the service was exceptional. We will definitely be back! read more
