Definitely ask for a quote on every single service before they begin. My teenage daughter went in with her adult cousin for a girls day and showed the salon a picture of the nails she wanted. She was quoted $65 before the service started. When she went to pay, the total was suddenly different with several unexplained upcharges. No one told her during the appointment that there would be additional charges or an upcharge added. When she questioned the price, the manager was very snarky and dismissive. My daughter paid and left upset. When my fiancé later called to discuss the situation, the manager was argumentative and rude, saying things like, "Well, she looks like she gets her nails done, she should know," and "If she's old enough to get her nails done alone..." even though she wasn't alone and was there with her older cousin. The issue was never the final price itself -- it was the lack of communication and the way the situation was handled afterward. A simple explanation or apology would have gone a long way, but instead the conversation felt defensive and disrespectful. read more

The ladies here are the best, and the place is cute with a lot of pink and nice lighting. What I didn't like is the prices at the end where I was charged for a "shape" fee when I asked oval instead of square which I think it was ridiculous. $200 for a mani and pedi at a place in Buda is outrageous. read more

Builder gel, too thick. First time I went, I had an appointment and still with an hour. I was not happy! Tony finally did my nails. The next time I called and told them if they could not get me in at my appointed time, I would leave. They did get me in. Tony did them again. Did a good job, just too thick! Nice enough nail place. read more

Followed my favorite nail tech, Kyana, to this salon after she left Forever Polished. She's the only person I let do my nails now and I'm so glad I found her again. Upon first visit I'm so impressed. The aesthetic is clean and the chairs are so comfortable and relaxing. The pedicure massage chairs are also next level. But, the reason to come here is Kyana! She can do any design, she takes her time and is a perfectionist. Her pedicures are also amazing, the massage alone was worth it. She also remembers what we've talked about. I lost someone right before my last manicure and she checked in on me during this one. So thoughtful and caring. Look at these nails though, I can't say enough about how happy I am with her work. read more

I had 4 nails chip in the span of less than 2 weeks. 2 chipped within a week, so they fixed them, and again today, 2 more chipped. As you can see, the tips are a lot thinner than the rest of my nail, hence why the acrylic is breaking off. I paid $65 for a fill (and they wanted to charge an extra $10 for cuticles which is ridiculous and should be included) just to be left with this right before the holidays. I'm not going back a 3rd time. read more

$80 for these nails (excluding tip). Don't waste your hard earned money here. Very disappointed read more

This used to be my go-to spot outside of Austin, but I won't be returning. An older man did my nails recently -- they looked good, but I ended up paying $85 before tip, which is far more than I've ever paid, even for longer nails with designs. He kept suggesting small add-ons like coffin shape, cuticle cutting, and a color-enhancing coat without mentioning they'd cost extra. Each upcharge added up without clear communication, and I felt taken advantage of. Now I understand the tactic. Never again. read more

Very unprofessional management. As a dad, I don't know much about nails, but the pricing and any upcharges should be clearly explained before the service starts not unexpectedly added when it's time to pay. Customers deserve transparency and honesty about the total cost upfront. read more

Services included a full mani pedi, turned out fabulous and exactly what I wanted! Vibes were set as soon as I entered the salon with Gio at the front desk providing an amazing check in experience and updating me on everything I needed to know as it was my first time coming to this salon! 100% will be back and hope to see Gio there next time she truly made the experience with talking me through prices, options, and being kind enough to help me make a color and design decision when I was stuck on what to get!!! 10/10 recommend and can't wait to come back in for a fill! read more

Always come here because I love the way they listen and make your nails look amazing. Recently came in and they got a new front desk girl gio and let me just say she brightens up that place extremely friendly and super professional made it feel extra comfortable. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. It's taken me 15 years of living in Austin to find MY GO TO nail place. The staff is alive and happy, and VERY good at what they do. The ownership is incredible. Anytime I've had an issue, they are more than happy to make it right. And girl I'm OCD about my nails. This is the place to go!! It's clean, good vibes, AMAZING service. They are consistent in price and services. Yes yes yes to Sweet Nails! read more

It was my wedding day and my nail chipped after getting a manicure at milk and honey in Austin days before. Milk and honey would not squeeze me in to fix my one nail which left me to stop by sweet nails. The staff was SO sweet and immediately sat me down and had my nail fixed and perfect within 5 minutes. They just won me over as a customer! read more

Ignore my dry hands... But I went here with a friend to get manis and pedis, the mani didn't even last me 3 days and completely peeled off and chipped and broke my real nails. It's under new management and staff since I've been here and I definitely won't be back again. The pedi wasn't even good either and I paid almost $140 for two pedis and my friend paid $60 for manis (which she didn't get color) definitely not worth a $200 service. read more

This location is under new management and I've followed one of the owners here after being with her for eight years, and I can't imagine going to anyone else! The owners truly prioritize customer experience, making every visit feel special. Every set I've ever received has been amazing and I love how they pay attention to every detail. Whether it's a simple manicure or a full set, their dedication to quality and care is unmatched. Highly recommend this salon for anyone looking for top-notch service! read more

This is controversial because I'm giving this place five stars because my pedi was fine and is in line with most of the monopolized nail salon experiences. By that I mean I think a lot of people are used to the language barriers or differences in polish brands (sometimes unrecognizable and possibly not free of toxins) or inconsistency of encountering a different nail tech each visit with various skill level and tenure. It all comes down to the price you are willing to pay and your expectations. Unfortunately I think the nail salon space has trained consumers to have low expectations for a minimal price. It was what I expected and the service was decent. There are some things that I think were different ( and for me personally unnecessary) like rubbing my legs with orange slices or putting a mask and lotion on my legs only to rub it off with a hot towel that now leaves my pores open and ashy but the people were polite and professional and quick and my pedi looks fine. I got the essentials pedi for $55 and it took an hour. this did not feel rushed for a Sunday 11am opening despite a wait at the entrance. Ive never been here before and was seated within 10 minutes of entering. I liked the music, the massage chairs were fine and a young lady offered me a drink menu which had a variety of things to choose from but I didn't partake. The TV did not have anything interesting on but it did have captions but I preferred the 90s r&b they played. The guy who did my pedi was great. I won't be back, I'm going to give Lacquer and Cure Studios a try. They offer $60 for a polish pedi ($70 for gel) but are known to use non toxic polish and Lacquer has a waterless (if sustainability and water waste is a concern) pedi and both places do not have fumes nor offer powders/acrylics services. Just going to try what a place who seems to be different from the majority is like. I do love Austin for having options. read more

Kyana is a straight up magician. I usually do dip, but she convinced me to try this new type of gel that is easier on your nail bed. It can be sculpted and filled, similar to acrylic nails (although it looks way more natural). I chose gold/bronze ombré, which I was really pleased with. The whole place is really clean, fresh, and pleasant, although I think they could lower the music a little. Bonus points: she gives an amazing foot massage, and she removed 100% of my calluses. I have NEVER had a nail tech go to the trouble of doing that! read more

Kyana is the best nail tech ever. I've been coming to Kyana for exactly a year now and always walk out of my appointments satisfied with the quality, shape and overall experience. My nails always stay on without any lifts 3 weeks out! If you are looking for a new nail tech or need an upgrade from your last, ask for Kyana :) read more

The pedicure I received did not meet my expectations. The technician had a shaky hand while painting my toes, leading to a subpar result. I felt like I could have done a better job at home and saved my money. After requesting a redo, my toenails were filed down shorter than I would have liked. Even after she redid two toenails, I still wasn't satisfied. The picture attached is after I asked for them to be repainted. She blamed the polish for the outcome, but I expressed my dissatisfaction. Eventually, she repainted all my toenails, which was an improvement but still not great. I have decided not to return in the future. read more

I've gone to this place 4 times since they had a re-opening. 2/4 times, I've had someone who was on their phone a lot and the nails only lasted 1-1/2 weeks. Today I went and it wasn't the best experience. It took almost 2 hours, I got French tip and my original nail person was having so much trouble not doing it crooked that someone else had to step in and fix it. I left with a bleeding thumb and a very irritated index finger. I was also confused because I've never been charged extra money for the shape I suggested (was charged $5 for "special shape"), and on top of that I was charged a random $5 that I have no idea what it was for. I'm not sure how their pricing works, because the first time I got French tip it was only $5 extra, today it was $10 extra. I ended up paying an extra $20. I don't want to give up on Sweet Nails, but my experience today was very off putting. read more

I have been going to this nail salon for the past six years and it has changed drastically in the last year. The place itself is remodeled, and the decor has been a nice upgrade. However, the prices have gone up, and there are nitpicky charges for things that did not used to be there. For example, more than one color of nails on a manicure and charging to remove gel polish; I don't seem to recall all of the nitpicky charges a year or two ago. I was also frustrated with the time quote I got when I called ahead and showed up and waited an additional 30 minutes for a manicure and then was rushed through my service and hardly got the full experience. It was very disappointing compared to what it used to be. I didn't even get lotion on my arms or anything in particular that would resemble special treatment for a manicure. It was just dip manicure and done. I hope things change but there isn't any acknowledgment of customer loyalty either. read more

This is the second time I've been to this salon because I wanted to give it a fair shot and I'm sorry but this salon is HORRIBLE. Today I went in for an eyebrow wax and I waited around 45 minutes to even be sent into the back room, the lady was super sweet but she completely ruined my eyebrows. I should've known something was wrong when she hesitated to give me the mirror at the end. I would definitely NOT recommend going here. I usually go to a different salon for my brows but my lady is on vacation, never again will I spend money at this salon. read more

My mom and I went here to get our nails done, and what a mistake that was.

Called ahead to schedule an appointment with Lyla after seeing the photos posted. I was informed that Lyla no longer works there but other people were equally as talented with acrylics. This is false. I needed my set removed and replaced with a new set. They don't soak your nails off, they pry them off which is always painful. She started off with the shaping which was exactly what I wanted until the started laying the actual acrylic. She laid it on super thick, I asked for coffins and got these gross looking things that don't have a shape at all. At the end I was clearly upset with them and I'm not the type to just let things go unsaid. I asked her to make the edges sharp which she couldn't do because they're thick. She got excess paint on my hands and didn't clean it off. Polish was thick and sloppy. Black flakes in my white polish. I asked her to fix it, she ignored me. In the end I got charged extra for length and shape. My nails are SHORT with z. Do not come here unless you enjoy disappointment. read more

I got a pedi with poly gel on my toes and I loved my service. My nail technician was Kyana she is the best ! Everything was great.

Left with sticky nails with a really dull finish. Called to let them know and they suggested I drive 15 miles from San Marcos to fix them. Also told me to use rubbing alcohol which I tried and didn't work. The man that did my mani pedi and was extremely rough. I don't think the clippers, etc were sterile. They were not wrapped in plastic as if they'd been sterilized. I shouldn't have to try to fix their shoddy work. will never go back. read more

I have gone and return to this nail salon about 5 times now. My family and I have owned nail shops in the past so I can be picky yet knowledgable. This one is refreshing because (1) it's new with no strong acetone smell at walk in, (2) it is spacious and (3) have genuine personable service. It's clean and spacious with lots of breathing room. The ambience is more contemporary and luxurious than other places, not cheesy, crowded and worrisome of being unsanitary. Those at the front, greet you immediately and overtime make meaningful conversations. They ask questions to learn exactly what you are looking for and construct your acrylic or SNS to exactly what you like which I very much appreciate when I did Baby Boomer Ombre Nails. Antonio, who works there most of the time, ensures that all customers are being tended to and are feeling comfortable. The service and personality of the salon makes you feel more important than a cash flow opportunity as most nail salon do. He and his staff will make special accommodations and the tone of it seems genuine. The pedicure typically takes longer than expected, perhaps with less experience staff members doing it but I rather have them take their time than carelessly rush through. Highly recommend to go. My go-to and the best place I've been to in a long time. Sweet T Nails crafted fragile, breaking nails. They also had employees refuse service to people that walked in for a pedicure 15 min before close... read more
