Worst nail service ever!!! Very unprofessional and unexperienced staff. They don't even have anyone that does acrylic, which was a huge RED FLAG. I should have left then. I came in on a Tuesday, and felt a little unimpressed with my nails. I paid and tipped. At lunch Wednesday, the next day, my nail had lifted. It's been a week and I now have 5 lifted nails that I have glued back down myself. I received the most amateur nail service ever and I'm very unhappy that I paid $70 for such an unsuccessfully outcome. The girl barely filed and shaped my nails. My nails were lumpy, bulky, thick, and uneven. She applied the chrome with her own fingers!! I've never seen anybody do that. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, because where are your applicators to properly apply the product? I know the service I received was very minimum with the least effort applied and it was so horrible! I tipped because I tip for services received, and I'm not a professional nail tech but I know this was not a professional job on my nails. I feel like I was ripped off for $70. I feel like they are advertising professionalism and don't have professional staff available. I was very embarrassed of my nails, and can't believe I trusted this establishment with my body!!! I did reach out to inform them of how unhappy I was with the service I received. Someone did reply back, saying they were the owner, and would like to fix my nails for free. So I told her I needed a fresh acrylic set in the email and I have yet to receive a response back. She offered to fix them for free, then ignored me like I'm looking for a free nail job! I have already told all my friends and coworker to never waste their money there. People know I take my nails seriously and I keep them beautiful. I have pics and witnesses of the ugly nails I got from this place. Anyone ever brings this place up, I will warn them because they are not experienced enough and is a complete joke. I wonder how they get any stars at all!!! read more

I was so surprised to see any positive reviews after my recent appointment. I got a very mediocre pedicure that I could have done myself for free. That wasn't even the worst part. I walked in and was greeted with a judgmental look by one of the workers as if I was inconveniencing her at her own job. The owner was kind, but the workers were so off-putting. Not to mention the beverages being given in red solo cups. My main complaint is how the website is very misleading, and I hope people check reviews before spending money for bad nail and customer service. read more

Saw this on IG and just needed to stop it was so cute! Until I got there, the receptionist was so cute and friendly but my tech seemed like I somehow inconvenienced her by having a pedi appointment on a slow Tuesday afternoon. Bring your own friends and energy here because the energy the workers give is nonexistent. Literally 4 customers in the salon and zero conversation happening. BORING don't market as cute fun girl energy and provide none of that. My pedi wasn't even good especially considering it was over $70. Also maybe just a me thing but the swings weren't comfortable for my legs. read more

My best friend and I stopped here as a planned day trip to Waco. We were so excited because the place looked so cute inside. However, my nail tech was so unfriendly and seemed annoyed. My best friends' nail tech was new and it was clear by her manicure. We both got a pedicure and it seems like both girls were new and didn't know what they were doing. On top of that, the prices were insane for what we actually got. So disappointed and I would not recommend this place. read more

This was a fabulous experience for me and my friends this past weekend. The atmosphere was amazing and we loved the porch swings we sat in while getting our pedis! What a concept! Everyone was very friendly and attentive from the moment we entered the salon. We enjoyed delicious cupcakes from the Silos Bakery and fresh mimosas, all included in the Sweet Magnolia package. It was more than worth the price. I highly recommend this to everyone! read more

Was in town for work and this came up on my social media. Thought it was a cute place to try out and do something cute. Possibly went on an outdoor gf day but damnReceptionist was sweet. I made an appointment online with what I wanted, I don't know what was the point if she did something Completely different. Everyone looks miserable, the girl doing my pedicure looked miserable. Girl who was doing my pedicure was very quiet which is total opposite of me. Worst salon I've ever been too, worst energy, 2 other customer than me. Definitely do not recommend. Perfect example of don't believe what you see on the internet. My girl did better towards the end and then I'm guessing it's the owners daughter ask my pedicure technician ask if she's almost finished. Thank you to her for still taking her time. read more

Rae is THE BEST. She's friendly, thorough and super funny. The rest of the staff is always very friendly and the spa itself is very clean and super cute. But if you want your nails done well and done right go see Rae! read more

Fun! This place is maximalist, fun, and very cute. 4 stars because they messed up our reservation (but fixed it) but otherwise a great time. Got a regular mani/pedi and the technicians were professional and friendly. Reasonably priced and for the area decent quality. Ava was a superstar. read more

We booked two jelly pedicures while we were in town. I booked about two weeks before service. When we arrived they told us they were out of the jelly powder. I was disappointed no one called us ahead of time to let us know, that was the only thing we were there for. We asked if we could have a 10% discount for the inconvenience and they agreed but when we checked out we realized afterwards they charged us full price. This place looks so cute on social media but in reality it was lacking. It was dirty and run down, no one offered us a drink with our pedicures, the pipes above us were dripping on us. Definitely not worth the price. I would not recommend this place or ever come back. I wish I would have read the reviews before booking. read more

Southern Swings - Just started when I took this don't mind my horrible nails. Trust me the transformation was goals. - Wine Bars Near Me - Waco, Texas

I got a full set done on a Friday for $100, assuming I would have them looking nice for a date the following Saturday (8 days after). By Monday, a few were lifting. By Wednesday a couple fell off (5 days after getting them done). At this point who cares because I have time to get them fixed. They were able to get me in on Saturday, where it took well over an hour to get my three nails (as another lifted a lot) fixed. She was clearly rushing as she did not match the lengths at all, my pointer finger was like half an inch longer than the others (I filed it down as much as I could but you can still see in the photos) . Literally by end of day Saturday TWO MORE CAME OFF. I have been getting acrylics consistently for 5 years, I rarely have problems with them falling off ESPECIALLY before the 2 week mark. I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the nails. The shape was not what I wanted (almost duck when I wanted square), even tho the services took extremely long, so I had to file them myself AFTER spending so much money. I am floored at how bad the quality is that they would keep popping off. For such a bougie little salon I am shocked. I absolutely don't have time to go in again for another hour or so to get these fixed, so I'm just walking around with some busted nails now:(. The tech herself was very nice as well as the other staff. Overall, I would not recommend this salon if you want nice nails that last the expected amount of time. I will not be going back personally as I spent $100 +tip for my nails to be intact for a total of 5 days. the photos are from after getting them fixed. read more

UPDATE: Brandi has personally reached out to apologize, and thanked us for the business we have brought to the salon. She stated she will implement further training in the areas with inconsistencies. She also refunded my mom and mother-in-law's drink charges due to the misunderstandings on both ends. I wish her nothing, but the best in her future endeavors. Don't let the glitz and glamour fool you. Please note that I have utilized services at this establishment on three separate occasions prior to writing this review. This business appears to primarily cater to bridal parties, while other clients are treated as secondary. All negative experiences stemmed from management -- specifically the owner, Brandi. The service technicians themselves were consistently kind and professional. During my first visit, I booked an early afternoon appointment online. Approximately an hour prior, I was called and informed that my appointment would be delayed. I appreciated the courtesy. However, upon arriving at the rescheduled time, I was left waiting for an hour -- because my technician had not even been scheduled to work at that time. For my second visit, I attempted to arrange four pedicure appointments for my family. After experiencing difficulties booking online, I left a voicemail, which was never returned. I also sent an email that was never replied to. After several days with no response, I managed to book appointments online. Upon arrival, we were informed that the specialty pedicures we had selected -- chocolate and coffee-themed -- were no longer offered, despite still being available to book online. While we were disappointed, the technicians were excellent, and my family enjoyed themselves, which convinced me to give the salon another chance. Following that visit, I booked another set of group pedicures five weeks in advance. Two weeks prior to the appointment, I requested to move our times from morning to afternoon due to scheduling conflicts. I was informed they could not accommodate the change, which I understood. However, 4 days before the appointment, I received a voicemail from Brandi requesting to move one of our reservations to accommodate a bridal party. I called back and spoke directly with her; although she initially denied trying to reschedule one of the appointments, she still attempted to adjust our times for the bridal group. It was disappointing to see long-standing bookings being deprioritized in favor of newer, higher-profile events. During the appointment itself, services were delivered satisfactorily. While waiting for our nails to dry, we moved to the bar area. Previously, complimentary mimosas had been offered by Brandi so we each ordered one mimosa. At checkout, we were each charged an additional $10. Upon inquiry on my bill, Brandi stated it was for the drink. I explained that she personally had given them out complimentary last time to which her response was "I was probably just being nice last time." Due to the miscommunication she refunded my money which was appreciated, but the same courtesy was not extended to my mother and mother-in-law, who were also charged. It would also be in your best interest to pass by the cute pajamas and slippers at the checkout. Brandi claimed they were sourced from boutique vendors, but I found the exact items on SHEIN that she had marked up 300% or so. Ultimately, while the technicians were outstanding, the management's questionable business practices and lack of consistency left us feeling undervalued. Regrettably, we will be seeking services elsewhere. read more

While the establishment is super cute and I love being able to have a glass of wine while getting my nails done, they are extremely overpriced. I got a pedicure that was 45$ and 2 glasses of wine, 10$ each. However, when it was time to checkout my total was ~$80. Along with being overcharged, I've had my pedicure for about a week and a half and have already had polish completely fall off on 4 toes. Usually my pedicures can last almost 2 months before they even start chipping. The people are extremely sweet and I love the environment it is just not worth the money. read more

Very unorganized salon. I didn't get the service I was expecting much less paid for. I didn't feel that the nail techs had enough knowledge or experience to be offering a service to the customer. Very disorganized salon and wasn't impressed. I've had better service at mediocre salons. So disappointed read more

This place is so cute! If you're shopping for the day at magnolia, this is a great place to drop in for a mani/pedi and a glass of wine. Perfect for moms and daughters or girl groups. Or maybe your husband wants to soak while you shop. Across from two boutiques. We showed up late in the day on a busy Saturday and we were so thankful they could squeeze us in. Great location. Put it on your list when you visit magnolia! Bonus: super instagammable. read more

Absolutely loved the service at this place. The drinks were so good and so big. The vibes are so cute! Definitely recommend for a girls day!

I'm was in town for the day this past Saturday and decided to get a pedicure. Worst pedicure of my life and over priced. Gel was an additional $20, the nail tech was painting my toes within 10 mins of starting my service. My "gel" polish has already peeled. read more

The vibe was very cute, but my pedicure was very underwhelming. I paid for the goat milk and honey pedicure, $55. I hardly received 2 min of massage, and my heels are still feeling rough. I had high hopes for this cute place, but was not impressed. read more
