    This is NOT normal removal. This is damage from incompetence, period

    I had one of the worst salon experiences I've ever had at this location. I came in with clear photos of what I wanted, but the tech applied extremely thick, uneven acrylic that looked nothing like the pictures I showed her. When I tried to explain why it didn't match, she asked to see the photo again and then snatched my phone out of my hand to take it to another coworker. I have never been so blatantly disrespected at a nail salon. When I asked for the acrylic to be thinner, I was told that "if they break, we won't fix them," which was unprofessional and dismissive. The product they used caused a burning sensation on my nails, and the tech handled my hands roughly the entire time. When I decided I didn't feel safe continuing and asked to have everything removed, the staff became visibly irritated. There was no apology and no accountability instead, they charged me $20 just to remove the poor-quality acrylic they had applied minutes earlier. I ended up leaving with my nails partially removed because the treatment was so hostile I didn't feel comfortable staying any longer. Between the disrespect, the rough handling, the poor technique, and the lack of basic customer service, this was an awful experience. I will not be returning and do not recommend this salon to anyone who expects professionalism or even basic respect.

    PERFECT salon!! I've been trying to find a place that actually gives a good pedicure and this was 10/10. I've tried about 12 different places that all gave mediocre pedicures and overpriced and rushed. Jason did an amazing job on my toes, Im a marathon runner and they aren't that pretty and he made them all brand new! The free wine with the service is also very nice and the massage was great. The cheapest pedicure was $36 and was just what I needed. I'll 100% be back.

    Great atmosphere in the salon! There are cute iced coffees that they pass around and nice decor. The staff was very nice, but my nails unfortunately didn't look like the photo I showed the tech. The color was much lighter than the photo. I asked the tech if he could shorten them and he said no.

    My favorite nail salon in Austin! I've had a different nail tech every time and they all have been wonderful and very precise in their work. My nails were starting to be break easily at the last place I was going to and since going here they have been strong & no longer breaking. Drinks are good too :)

    Got nails done for my WEDDING (high stakes!) for the first time here -- and they did a great job! Especially for my manicure, Ni is meticulous and so great at what she does. I love how they turned out! It was over a week ago and they're still looking fantastic :) The pedicures feel amazing, even the most basic packages comes with an 8 min massage - my fave part! My feet felt rejuvenated. They also offer a drink although they forgot to bring mine out... lol but no worries, I also didn't say anything welp! I have to say the pedicure did not last as long and while the shape was decent, it wasn't as meticulous as the mani. The place is cute and clean. Overall enjoyable experience and I would definitely return :)

    After hot yoga, I decided to treat myself to a manicure. I was a walk-in and was seated right away. The interior looks super clean & tidy. The vibes were super chill. They had reality TV playing, which is sooooo my vibe. The pros: very nice people! I had the tech named Jessica. She was very gentle with my hands. I usually do my own nails and am quite the perfectionist. It's hard for me to give up control! Cons: Jessica was very gentle with my cuticle care, but I don't think she had the attentiveness to make sure she didn't miss a spot of nail polish. There are a few bumps on my nails and I think she was really trying. Overall, good experience. I would come back, but I would ask for a different nail tech.

    I've been going to Square Nails for over a year and have always tipped generously and supported their business. But after this last visit, I won't be returning. I showed a clear reference photo of what I wanted--simple yellow nails with daisy designs. What I got looked nothing like the photo: sloppy flower decals, mismatched shape, and overall poor execution. I told the tech five times that I wasn't happy with the design, and instead of fixing it, she applied the top coat and walked away. When I brought it up to the manager, she brushed me off with, "You should've said something." I did--multiple times. Being ignored and then blamed for their mistake is completely unacceptable. Loyal customers deserve better. I left disappointed and feeling disrespected.

    What I look for in a nail salon is a chill vibe and clean space, Square Nail fit both of my requirement. Plus, I was impressed with the service care because they constantly checking on me, make sure I'm satisfy with the service. So happy I found this place

    Cost me $71 not including the tip for this builder gel fill! I think they did a great and thorough job. Took about 1.5hrs. They even have a coffee bar in here. Would come back!

    I was working an acting gig in the area for a commercial, and the client needed my nails to be a certain kind of blue! Square Nails had exactly what I was looking for, and for not a bad price either! Their service was pretty good, it was early in the morning, so I was quite literally the only person there at that time. The ambiance was much like any other salon though, but it was clean and kept well! I'll definitely be going back should I need a manicure or pedicure in Austin again!

    Basic pedi is like $35. The one I recommended is the milk and honey, it's $59. The place smells clean, looks great and they have a very pretty bar for their complimentary beverage, I am very satisfied with the quality of service I recieved, I highly recommend this place for a future service . Ann did an amazing job!

    I've been coming to Square Nails for about two years now, it's the only salon I go to and haven't ever had any issues! I used to get acrylic nails and now get gel x and both services have been great, I also get gel polish pedicures and they do a great job! They also have good complimentary coffee, wine, & margaritas the salon itself is very nice & clean and staff is very friendly

    Arianna is great. I had gotten the same services done at a different salon for almost 75% more…read morecost, the atmosphere was not nearly as private, and the aesthetician was not nearly as comforting a presence. Ariana did a better job than the more expensive studio so I made an appointment for next week for a different service. Looking forward to it.

    Ok ladies and gentlemen, if you are in search of a place to take care of your waxing/hair removing…read moreneeds, look no further! I am SO HAPPY I found this place. It's a single chair salon and Arianna is who I see. Not only is this place well decorated and eye catching, but it's clean, professional, and calming. Which, if you are having someone give you a Brazilian wax makes it so much better. Am I right girls? I found this place after trying to find a new waxing boutique. I never had an issue with ingrown hairs until I went to a European Wax Center. Plus, it was way more painful than I was used to, so I had to switch. I've been coming here for awhile and am BEYOND grateful for Arianna not only taking care of my waxing needs, but slowly and surely helping me recover from my poor waxing experience. She even gave me a sample of a cream to try (I'll update this review about that after I try it for a bit) to help with the hairs as well as some tips. She does have a few select products, but I have never felt pressured to buy anything at all. This place, and Arianna, is just so great. Quick, less painful, exceedingly professional (I've been getting Brazilians for awhile but I'd definitely try this place if you are a first timer), clean, and a great value for the price. I've already told all my friends about this place. Book your appointment. You won't regret it!!
