DO NOT COME HERE !!! Since my usual nail salon was closed due to easter, I saw that this place was open. When I first got there, I wasn't told a wait time and then proceeded to wait 30 minutes just to start. It took them 2 hours just to do my toes! I wanted to get a manicure too (glad that I didn't) but since I didn't have enough time because i had to get to work (when I thought I would've had enough time) I asked them just to do a simple clear gel polish & they charged me 30 just for that. After 3 hours, i had to pay 75 just for a pedicure & gel manicure. My pedicure isn't as clean looking as I would like. Absolutely ridiculous and never going back. My friend also got her nails done (for her birthday) and they look horrible. She told them she was dissatisfied and they didn't even offer her a discount or anything! read more

DO NOT COME HERE !!!!!! Lady with the puffy face did my nails . Horrible ! Did not trim nails , or cut my cuticles and charged me $70 for a horrible set. I wish I would have read the reviews before I came here !! I feel almost nail salons now a days do a shitty job and just expect you a ridiculous amount . I seriously want to see if I can call the BETTER BUSINESS BEREAU because this lady did not seem licensed , and no where did I see their licenses posted anywhere . Also my nails are lifting after only 3 days. Save your money , go elsewhere . read more

I went in to get my nails fixed from "Sweet Nails" because they were a total mess with lots of heat spots so my nails were very sensitive. I was taken care of and welcomed! I am very happy. read more

I really wish I had stayed loyal to my usual salon. The color I wanted wasn't available and what I got was not what the swatch looked like. They cut my nails way shorter than I wanted on my manicure and they didn't do the shape I wanted. They didn't cut my toenails enough so those are still too long. I specifically asked for them to not put anything on my new tattoo on my leg a couple of times(6 days old) but still they used an exfoliating gel on it and then instead of washing it off they just rubbed it off and left the remnants on my leg for too long. I asked them to rinse it but they ignored me and then put a scented lotion on my legs. All of this was $10 more than what I pay elsewhere for better. I learned my lesson and will just stay loyal. read more

Wendy and her husband are great! I've been twice now and the first tome my nails lasted through the shut down. They both pay attention to detail and have sooooo many colors to pick from! read more

Trust the bad reviews. Horrible service and job! An older man did my gel nails and added about 7-8 coats of gel and they came out lumpy and he kept messing up one the chrome and wife had to adjust after (which added more coats). I got a French tip pedicure by a younger man and the white lines are drastically different sizes and he didn't do much with my pedicure either. Not to mention the man painting my nails had to turn off my pedicure massage bc it was unconvincing him. Will not be back and do not recommend!! read more

I have had a few services done there mainly gel manicures, and most recently a full set of pink and whites. I really enjoy the environment they've created in the place it feels very warm and welcoming. They usually play something interesting on Netflix and I end up watching something I wouldn't have otherwise tried. One time my friend and I were there and my friends tech came around and gave her a full shoulder, neck, and scalp massage - with no extra charge. Really an awesome place read more

Great experience, everyone was very kind and sweet during my pedicure. Great family environment with a perfect place to relax and also laugh with strangers. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a manicure or pedicure because they are kind and also do a great job! My manis/pedis last 3/4 weeks with no chipping! read more

I went in there today with my sister for a mani refill. We were the first ones in there, my sister got a eyebrow wax and I was seated to start my mani, I am that type of person I don't ask how much it is from the beginning. So I trusted the lady's work, I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she said she could do it. I wanted something short, and she nailed it. But she did NOT do a very good job at painting my nails. I showed her where there was a spot not painted and she tried correcting, but didn't do it right. I didn't even bother telling her again, my trust was broken right there. When she finished, she charged me $45.00 for just a refill!!!! She did not cut my cuticle, no hand massage. I was shocked! I paid $50.00 for a FULL set previously. I can't believe I actually paid that much + 10.00 for the eyebrow wax. Now I am sitting here hating my nails and writing this bc I am too nice to speak up. But best believe I keep learning from this, and know I won't be going back!!!!! Do NOT recommend. read more

Saw this place had 4 stars and was closer than my normal nail salon so I decided to check it out. After leaving, I'm not so sure how they have such a high rating. Left with bubbles in my nails and not a single nail is consistent with the shape I asked for. They didn't bother to trim my nails or push my cuticles back. The color is pretty but my nails just look so dull and frumpy. The pedicure was okay. Some of my toe nails were cut crooked and look bumpy. I rarely leave reviews and I'm not one to speak ill of places, but I wouldn't recommend or return to this nail salon. For the prices they charged, I just would've expected to leave with better work done on my hands and feet. read more

AMAZING pedicure with the peppermint mask, and really sweet friendly family. Chyna is my go-to for nails and does an incredible job every time! read more

Excellent dip powder manicure! Very friendly and attentive. Didn't feel rushed even though I showed up close to closing.

Three words: ask for Chau. I have a toenail that I generally get filled to fix the look from toe surgery I had long ago. Not only did he give me the best looking fill I've ever had, his Deluxe pedicure had me this close to proposing to him. Honestly, the massage alone is worth the trip. Do not skip this amazing experience. Visit VA Nails today to be pampered like a queen. Enjoy water, soda or even as wine as Chau works his magic. You won't be disappointed. read more

This nail salon is the most unprofessional establishment I've ever been to. I was given a nail tech that did my $70 set of nails incorrectly. Some nails were longer than the others, the design was completely uneven and bumpy, etc. When I confronted the manager about it, she told me to come back the next day. Next day comes, they tell me it will be a two hour wait. For the third time I come in, just to be yelled at by the owner of the store. She claimed that she didn't know who to believe since her workers were telling her one thing while I, the paying customer, was telling her my experience. I would highly recommend going somewhere else to get your nails done if you can. I wanted to treat myself with this set of nails but instead was given a horrible experience. read more

Discovered this shop around the corner from our place. Smiling happy service! Great relaxed environment, complimentary beverage.

So I've officially been living in south austin for a year now and have tried several nail salons. I used to have a favorite place on slaughter but one day they were busy and I stumbled upon this place 3 min away. There is nothing spectacular about this place in regards to the decor or building , just your regular neighborhood nail salon. What is great about this place is that customer service and service has never disappointed!!! They are all such friendly and attentive people who want to make sure you leave happy. The lady husband who does pedicures, man honestly some of the best pedicures I haved in my life are from this man. I haven't been disappointed with my nails yet. My lack of a star only comes from my most recent visit where I picked out colors and the bottle was either empty or the polish had gone bad. Also, my service being higher than normal . read more

One of the best nails salons in Austin in my opinion. They're always friendly and my manicure is flawless every time. I'm a bartender so I also appreciate how durable it is too. My friends and I make the drive to this salon whenever we can! read more

Wasn't impressed. Wasn't unimpressed. Your typical nail salon. Came in for a pedicure. They had a lot of colors but nothing special and not that special of service. There are better places but there was no wait for a Sunday. read more

The best pedicure my partner and I have had in a while and we're pretty consistent with getting our feet done. The place was very sanitary, quick and the pedicure was most definitely satisfying. We'll most definitely be back soon! read more

I thought to myself, I'll just go somewhere close to the house today...big mistake. I could have stayed home and painted my own nails better than the shellac manicure I had at VA Nails today. Hands down, pun intended, the worst manicure I have ever had. There is gel covering my cuticles as well as 'leftover' spots of gel on the tops and sides of my nails. Also, they have very few colors to choose from. When I showed my husband, he thought I was joking that I paid someone to make my hands look as bad as they did. The only thing VA got right was having a clean salon and good conversational skills. Big. Fat. Fail. read more

Wendy and her husband are so sweet and kind. I went to Wendy with a picture of what I wanted and she gave me exactly that. The pedicure was also exceptional and not rushed at all (like other places). I have been coming here a couple of times before but after today I have definitely made this my new nail place. 100% recommended going. read more

She cut my big toe and made me bleed pretty badly. It was still bleeding when I got home. When it came to my nails, she suggested for me to do dip instead of acrylic, did not ask me to wash my hands before she dipped my fingers in the same dip as everyone else and they came out super lumpy and uneven. Not worth $115 they tried to charge me. read more

This is the only nail salon in Austin where they didn't remove my cuticles and cut my nails unevenly for a basic manicure. The pedicure was sort of sloppy as well. The paint color I chose was thicker, potentially older and on one toe came out thick, sticky, and smudged. My part is that I didn't say anything, but on top of the poor quality, it really took a long time for a basic pedicure and manicure (nearly 2 hours?), and I had other places to be. I'll go someplace else next time. People are nice, but quality is poor, and there are so many other options. read more

I went to get my nails done and a pedi and she told me she was to tired to do my nails after my pedi was finished, while taking another customer who came after me!!! She should have told me from the beginning so I wouldn't have spent my money in there at all!!! Very Unprofessional!!! I will never go back!! read more

I feel so bad! I have loved coming here and was very impressed with the work. Had my eyelashes done and they started falling out the next day. They were all gone within days. Thought it was a fluke had them done again ended up gluing a portion of my top lashes to my bottom corner lashes but rather than saying something or using the eyelash remover, my bottom lashes were cut and left glued to the top lashes. Was not worth it, they fell off in less than a week. Really disappointed!! Have been a steady customer for months now and they didn't have the decency to tell me they cut my lashes!!!!! I'm also sad because they are good at nails but definitely don't trust them anymore:/ read more

Came here with friends during COVID-19 season and just found the experience to be OK. Nothing to write home about, definitely going to be on the look out for other nail salons for pedicures. The pricing was alright, but one of the nail techs that was working on my friend wasn't wearing gloves, which I found to be very odd. He also kept coughing, which was a little alarming during the current economic status. read more

I usually don't leave reviews but this is a Family business, is the best customer service, I love it, I did my first pedicure and it's soooooooo perfect I love it, I appreciate everything they have done and will be coming back to checkout my first acrylic nails with them. Definitely awesome!!!!! read more

I got my first ever set of dip nails here in September. The guy who did my nails, Victor, was very nice and we had good conversation. However, the nails were simply not done well. They were chipping within a week and he shaped my nails unevenly. Now that I've gotten my nails done elsewhere, I know that the quality is much better at other places. However, the price was lower than most other places so you get what you pay for. I would go back because they were nice but I would not get dip nails here. read more
