Loved my nails!! These black and white nails were my second trip here and Kevin did amazing!! So much attention to detail and my nails turned out stunning. I also posted pictures of my most recent visit. I love this place!! My third time I asked for XL nude to blue ombré square nails. I love them!! I did add pompoms after my appointment but it truly is the nails Kevin did for me that make this set beautiful.
All I can say is Wow! This was my first impression of the salon and I must say I was extremely impressed. Kevin did a Beautiful job on my nails; plus the decor was lovely and the the service professional and welcoming. Whenever I go through Lubbock I'll defiantly be stopping in again.
I'm from out of town and this was my second time visiting this salon based on rating and reviews on Yelp. The first time I visited, I only got a pedicure which was good. But this second time visiting I decided to try their gel manicure. The gel manicure ran about $35 which is typical. The woman who did my manicure was very polite, but seemed a bit distracted. Needless to say, the polish on my right hand does not match my left. The color on my left hand nails are not as vibrant and even as my right. I'm not sure if she was distracted and just didn't notice that she didn't put enough coats on some nails compared to others or not, and unfortunately I didn't notice until I got out into my car how uneven it turned out. Also, I noticed that they didn't sanitize their chairs or the color samples between clients which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Overall, the service was decent, but I don't think I will return.
I've been to 5 different nail places here in Lubbock since moving, and I was not impressed. I decide to see which had the highest yelp rating and try that one. This led me to Venice nails. Upon entering we were greeted with a big smile and cheerful personality. I was a big difficult and chose 5 different colors for a spring look, I LOVE how my nails turned out. The entire experience was wonderful, I do believe I've found my new nail place!
Short version: Pedicure was good (5/5 for attention to detail, 3/5 for massage quality, 2/5 for products/price paid), general service was poor (2/5), aesthetics wasn't great either (3/5) First - this place doesn't match the pics, they've done some renovations and it smells very strongly of acetone. I made my appointment over the phone, showed up and picked my seat but still waited 15 min for anyone to get to me. They started the water running and the "bubble maker" popped off and wouldn't go back on so had to replace it. I think the gentleman that did my nails might've been having a bad day, but he barely greeted me and didn't speak the whole time. Did a good job in terms of the pedicure itself, but I was really looking forward to a glass of wine and was never asked if I wanted anything (everyone around me did, though).
I came here about a month ago to get my nails done - and give Lubbock nail salons one more try -before I moved back to Dallas I came in on a quiet Wednesday morning with an appointment already booked. I got a fresh set for dip powder. I'll attach pics of what I got and what I asked for. (LOL) I never got the name of the man who did my nails... he was very eccentric with his pinky nail painted a bright color and his constant need to show me things off his phone as he was doing my nails. He was very extroverted, but almost to a default as he chastised me for my cuticles. I don't go to a nail salon to be told what's wrong with my hands. I go for a relaxing experience and to make myself feel better. Furthermore, I'm a firm believer in writing positive reviews unless I've just had a complete miss of an experience. And this was terrible. Not only did I not get what I asked for in regards to shape, I was there for over an hour and a half as this man picked up almost three phone calls and spoke for about 10 minutes each phone call. He spoke on the phone AS he worked on my nails. Not only do I find that VERY disrespectful, but I find it very unsanitary as he had no gloves on. My nails were thick and had bubbles in them. They were filed down until they were almost the length of my actual nail. He charged me $45 even though they apparently offer student discount, which I mentioned before paying that I am a student, and their menu lists a fresh set for dip powder being $40. I had nothing extra done. I still tipped him good and paid the amount, but I will NEVER return here and I will turn all my friends away from here. I've been out of the country and have just returned to really sit down and write my experience down; not out of anger but frustration with spending money on a nail job that made me really upset. Perhaps I just had a faulty experience and I do like to give businesses the benefit of the doubt.... but the unprofessionalism of this man was horrendous.
Came here last Friday, I live in dallas and was looking for a good nail place here in the LBK. I came in with my mom and my Nana. Let's talk about my nails first I got the dip and it wasn't shaven down enough so the look very thick and unnatural. Now for my nana, she got her pedicure and she said the massage and extras were good, but her polish didn't last long, it messed up after basically sitting at the salon for an hour (while she got here nails done) She wanted just a polish on her nail but the lady kept trying to up sell the gel saying it doesn't chip and it lasts longer, my nana kept saying no but eventually gave in. she has very bad arthritis and her hands are very big so her hands didn't fit in the machine that dries the nails, and the guy kept pressing him her hands to try and make them fit. Well long story short, her toes messed up and her nails chipped! NOT HAPPYYY ABOUT PAYING ALMOST $100 FOR HER ALONE AND IT DIDN'T EVEN LAST!!! As for my mom, she got the dip done and they look good. Her toes though are a different story, the color she picked was beautiful but the paint job was awful once we got into the sun we could see all the flaws. We didn't have time to stop and get all of the nails fixed because of a busy weekend. My cousin actually recommended Venus nail bar off Indiana and I guess I didn't pay attention and thought this was the place, next time we will go there. Also... if I had payed attention to the fish tank when I walked in I would have walked right back out, IT'S ABSOLUTELY FILTHY! Hopefully they clean their tools better than the fish tank.
I got my nails done with my aunt & the guy who did my nails seemed like he was in such a rush & was very rough with my nail & my nails feel very sore now as a result in him rushing & he also only did 1 coat of white on my nails so they look very sheer in areas & unevenly painted he missed a few parts of the nail with the paint so I addressed it & he attempted to fix it but they look bad the shape is also to narrow & it looks like my nails are pointing upwards I definitely don't think that the work that was done was worth my $70 it's very disappointing I've never paid that much for a manicure before especially one that looks this bad. My aunts nails were pretty though & the lady she got took her time & was gentle
From afar my nails look nice but up close not so much. The lady had to redo my thumbs 3 times because of her mistakes:/. She said she was gonna charge extra if she redid it again. My sister got a pedicure and they cut her toe nails crooked.
Loved the forest theme back pedicure room!!! I researched pricing at a bunch of places and their Felix pedicure ($35) is the best value in Lubbock! We sipped on complimentary wine and completely relaxed! We will definitely be back! (And I didn't even mind wearing the mask for this lol)

Update: Kayla did my nails for a wedding and they are perfect. I was there a good while, but she makes sure each nail is perfect. They don't rush you in and out...they see you as a person. She said they will last 3 weeks. Would go here again. Very happy! Kayla is a good person. I went here solely because of all the positive reviews others have written (and Taco Villa Happy Hour.). I was not sure what to expect. Kayla, who said she was the owner, became my technician. She was friendly, took her time, and made sure each nail looked good. She was willing to offer advice and didn't get mad when I was having a hard time deciding between two colors. Instead, she showed me how they would look once on my nail which made the decision simple. She listened to how I wanted them shaped. She also painted my toes ($10). Basic shellac is $25. This is a small shop (7 employees) which I liked. Maybe it's because they weren't super busy today, but I enjoyed not being herded in and out like cattle. Soft, relaxing music. I was offered water. Cons: They do not have the kits here to get exact color matches but they do have lots of colors to choose. Employees napping. read more

Kevin did an absolutely fantastic job on my nails. He even knew I was from out of town and would probably not be a repeat customer and he still spent an hour and a half PERFECTING these bad boys. Highly recommend. SNS French manicure was $50. Would have liked to see some massage/lotion for that price, but what do you do. read more

They did a really good job here my nail tech took her time but they turned out good the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because she took almost 2 hours and on my middle finger on the ombré the side aren't ombré and you can see the color clearly as shown in the picture read more

This is my usual favorite lace but today did not live up to my expectations. The lady cut my toe then tried to stop the bleeding by spraying it with something that burned like crazy. So one toe has dried blood all around the nail bed and then the polish job was horrible. I'm guessing she was in a hurry since she spent so much time trying to stop the bleeding. I'm more than disappointed in my pedicure this time. Sadly, I am leaving town in the morning and do t have time to go back and get it fixed. read more
