    Mani after less than a week
    Amy R.

    Nice ladies at Sweet. Will ask about your ethnicity if you're Asian. Haha. They're quick and efficient. I needed my nails done before a trip to Vegas. Sweet is close to my new home so I decided on a mani + pedi there. Two ladies worked on me simultaneously. I prefer traditional nail lacquer. Sweet has a limited color selection. The ladies pointed me to 1 tiny display of color options behind the cash register. Half of the colors were old and separating so that was disappointing. The gel nail color options was much better. The quality of the mani was below average. Square shaping was good. Minimal buffing to smooth out nails before polish. The actual color application was thick and uneven. I had to ask the manicurist to paint closer the sides of my nails and fill in some missing spots before the top coat. It's been less than a week, and half my nails have chipped. Luckily, the lady who did my pedicure was much better. She looked at and cleaned up my manicure too but even afterwards, I felt it wasn't great. Feels like skill set varies, and your experience depends a lot on who you get. $55 + tip. Credit cards accepted, tips in cash. No Venmo. I'm looking for my go-to nail salon in South Austin. Sadly Sweet won't be it.

    Terrible application, terrible shape
    Quyen D.

    I want to preface this review by saying that I never leave bad reviews, but I hope this helps just one person in the future to avoid this place at all costs. Thursday afternoon, there were probably 2 other customers other than myself in the salon. It was quite empty, so I know my lady wasn't rushing. Immediately I did not feel welcomed but initially I asked for a white tip in dip, and I wanted the straight tips because I like my nails a little bit longer and I don't like it when it curves. She didn't understand me at first but afterwards another lady found the tips I wanted and they said they have to charge me $5 (which is bizarre BTW, I get my nails done twice a month and at a ton of other places and have NEVER been charged for straight tips) to which I say okay that's fine. As she's doing my nails I notice immediately that this lady doesn't know what she's doing -- when you're doing the dip for white tips they have to manually dip the white part, she was on that part and on my 4th nail I knew I would've hated it, so I asked her to just remove it and give me like a solid color (less to mess up on) and I asked very politely & nicely. She gives me an attitude, proceeds to talk shit in Vietnamese (I'm fluent in Vietnamese and I guess with my mask on she couldn't tell, lol) . I ignore her this entire time and she's talking shit. Unfortunately for me, I rly wanted my nails done for a date I had. What I should have done was left, right then and there. For $55, (single color dip, I took my nails off before I got there, and I did square shape. WTF are these prices?!) and a $10 tip, I am so embarrassed of them. I would've been better off doing my nails on my own even though I have no idea how. They're all different lengths and my right hand's nails are all longer than my left hand's nails. The application is horrendous because in a lot of my nails you can see spots where there's no powder. It's bad. REALLY bad. Just go somewhere else, please. The salon itself is nice, it seemed clean but the staff are nasty, rude, and are 100% talking about you in Vietnamese. I would know. Don't make the same mistake I did in coming here.

    I've been here a few times now and I'm always so pleased with the service. The ladies here are very friendly and get you in right away. Thank you to Wendy and Lilly for their wonderful work

    Pinky toe nail is all messy
    Diem W.

    Went and got a pedicure on Sunday. It was the deluxe one so I knew it would be about 45 minutes to an hour. Ends up being over 2 hours. That wasn't an issue. What was an issue was that when I woke up on Monday morning (yesterday) one of my toe nails' paint is chipped! And upon further inspection of my toes, they weren't done all that well. The technician was super sweet and she seemed like she was really trying to do a good job ... I just don't know what happened. It was gel nail polish ... but my toes just don't look all that great. I even tipped her pretty damn good.

    French Tip, Almond Nail Shape

    Great Service! Loved my nails. It is my first time at this location came in after shopping at target. The staff is friendly and takes their time with your nails.

    Acrylic nails

    I was so exited to come to this place until I went inside and sat me down to wait half hour, which I didn't mind I had time. When it was my turn the lady asked me what shape and I asked for coffin, the lady ended up shaping them square and uneven. The gel is bulky and some of my nails are uneven and for the size she made them to thin. I could tell she was annoyed by the shape and did not care to fix them. It was originally going to be 75 but she gave me 5 back because she knew she didn't shape them right and really bad gel application.Horrible experience so dissapointed. She also apply the acrylic to close to my cuticles, I know they're going to lift. Just a waste of money, not going back.

    Got my nails done on Friday (Dip). Within 12 hours they looked like this. So much money to spend for absolutely nothing.

    Uneven, patchy, short, lumpy nails.
    Eva S.

    Well, I don't think it could get worse than this. This is the worst set of acrylics I've ever seen in my life. Period. Completely outrageous prices and definitely overcharged. I don't even know where to start with my nails. Everybody was rude and had attitude to them and they were not even busy. It's only Tuesday evening, not Friday night. The picture shown was the furthest thing from the result. The nails are uneven, poorly shaped, sloppy, patchy, too short, and all around bad. It's nothing like requested and completely overcharged. Tried calling around 30 minutes later for a refund to be met with a rude and standoffish reply of "No refunds! It's a policy.". Do NOT come here.

    I came with my Daughter and we both love this place. Lena and Wendy did an excellent job and were so sweet. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.

    Inconsistent lines.

    Tried this place out for the first time. I have very little good things to report, unfortunately. Cleanliness- other than the tub liner and one of the foot scrubbers (they used two) nothing came out of a package and everything after being used on me, went back into their "spot" in the cart. They weren't set aside to go into the enclave or sprayed down. Perhaps they clean afterwards, but I can't say for sure and I didn't see anyone else who wrapped up before I was done cleaning their tools. The chair I sat in had stuff stuck to it too and even the menu could have used a wipe down. Gloves were used for the pedicure but not the manicure. Unfortunately you don't know what you have gotten into until you are IN the situation. Not much I could do at that point. Prices- a bit higher than average. For example, a shellac mani goes for around $28, it's $35 here. Quality- chunky and spotty paint job. See pics. Cuticles cut so low it was stung in two spots, I've never had that happen. Shellac nails were painted with a gap on top, which makes a refill needed faster- pet peeve. Scalding hot towels used to wrap legs, I love heat usually! Water temperature was inconsistent as well. Service was really superb and friendly, which makes writing this even harder of course. We didn't have the best communication, but we made due. White wine was served warm and was undrinkable. Chair worked well. Music was relaxing, it is as nice not to have TV noise. Massage- if you like your legs rubbed, not your feet, this is the place for you. I asked three times to skip my legs and that was all she would focus on. The massage was really long, due to a heated convo with the coworker next to her keeping her distracted. It didn't bother me, I ended up getting the better end of the deal, even if it wasn't my feet getting the love when badly needing rubbing. I get pedicures just for that, I can paint my own nails. I paid and tipped, but won't be back. I hate writing bad reviews, I really do. But if you are like me and you don't treat yourself often, I don't want you to feel slighted too. :-( Plus, potential health concerns aren't worth it. I am headed home to swim in some rubbing alcohol.

    Horrific nails
    Amy S.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. Don't be deceived by the interior. Sure it's nice - has to be for the lack of professionalism and skill. I got my nails done - wanted SNS with a simple oval shape. I wish I had taken a photo of how horrible the nails looked. When you looked at the side you could see the "fake nail", my nail, and then the polish. It was so embarrassing I had the technician take them off. She cut my nails so far down that I bled 3 times and left me to leave like the picture below. Even though I paid to have them removed! Never go here. Ever. For real. Just stop.

    Right hand nail bending

    Should be zero stars. I went to get a full set of SNS nails. After an hour and 15 minutes, I left with all the tips bending!! The technician wanted to remove them all and start over. I gave the technician $10 and will never return. I am at a loss for words.

    Very chic and spa like setting. Friendly staff, easy check in, clean and well worth the money. The nail and pedicure areas are separated, Austin is a great tech. She does really natural looking Brenda and great pedicures!

    Alex did a great job on my nails and Tri did a great job on my pedicure…read more I'm very picky about how I like my nails. I don't typically go to the chop shop -- I prefer to go to a nail tech! But since I'm new to living in Austin, I returned to this nail shop as they did a good job on my nails a few years ago! This will be one of my go-to places for sure, now. The only con is that they do charge a lot for a simple full set and pedicure but the prices are average nail shop prices so I expected to pay what I paid. Also, for the price I paid for my nails and toes they could've at least oiled my cuticles after completing the service. The customer service with the front desk staff was friendly and hospitable. I also like that they offer complimentary alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. They'll be seeing me again for sure.

    Overall I do really like this place, BUT I've had numerous experiences where the color I chose from…read morethe book looks really different than it does once on my nails. And because I get uncomfortable telling them I don't like it once they've started OR in some instances don't realize that I don't like the color until after the fact or the next day, I'm stuck walking out with a color I didn't want. Most recently this happened and I even told them immediately afterward that the color looked really different than what was shown in the book (be careful with 065 - it's more of a barf yellow than a spring green!!) but that I would sleep on it. Still didn't like it the next day so I went back for a color change which (with tip) came out to $50!! Making this whole manicure experience around $150+ They did give me a 15% discount but I still feel like that's an insane price to pay for a color change esp based on the circumstances. Overall, still a fan but feel like there's an opportunity to show up better for your (repeat) customers
