Iclips Hair & Nails

This place is dirty, and dusty. Nothing in this place seemed sterile. My manicurist was rough with my hands and did not talk the entire experience. I thought the women there were silent, and rude. When I got home, my standard manicure latest less than 3 days. Not only that, but my left thumbnail bed became mysteriously painful — possibly infected. There is no way you could ever drag me to this business again. STAY FAR AWAY!

I went in to get a gel color change and they did a pretty good job. The lady took her time making sure I liked the shape of my nails and even asked me how many coats of polish I wanted.
I’m also surprised that my manicure lasted over 3.5 weeks! In general, nail services in Austin are pricier compared to Dallas salons. I paid $ 25 for a color change but I have found $ 25 for full gel manicures in Austin so it’s kind of high but for the quality of work, it’s reasonable and it’s close to campus.

It’s 2015 and there are more threading spots in Austin now. If you have hella thin hair, go to this place. If you have thick hair, don’t go. All they do is a hella minor job of threading and then tweeze you for like ten minutes. I was never impressed with my service or the end result and will never go back. If you have blonde white girl eyebrows, then I’m sure this place will be it for you. If you are in the thick hair club, move on.

I guess this would be considered more of a tip but it’s the absolute best place that I know of so far to get your eyebrows threaded at and only for 10 dollars!
Today I paid 6 dollars, so I’m not sure if every Wednesday there’s a 6 dollar special or not.
Anyways if you’re looking to get your brows threaded this is the place!

I wish I could give this place zero stars! I went into get my eyebrows threaded today and left with big red splotches all around my eyebrows. The lady took off half my skin along with the hair! Hands down the most painful eyebrow threading experience ever and I have been getting my eyebrows threaded for the past ten years! The shaping was also imperfect and lopsided. The lady who did this did not speak English very well and didn’t understand what my concerns were after the job was done so I asked to speak with her manager. She told me to talk to some guy who was giving someone a haircut. So I spoke about my concerns with him and how I was not happy. He took one glance at my eyebrows and said — «its not bad. you will be fine». I was really confused. Thinking that I hadn’t heard him clearly I re-​told him my concerns and pointed out to the obvious scabs that were forming around my eyebrows and he insisted that this was normal. I told him it wasn’t and that I am not happy with their service. He basically said «Thats ok, please pay and go». Appalled at this, I told him that this was no way to treat a customer and that he is forcing me to take my business elsewhere. Well, to this threat he replied «Sure, take your business elsewhere. This is no big deal to me». Shocked and disappointed by such poor customer service, I left extremely disheartened from Iclips. Needless to say, I am never going back here again!

Great place! Rupa did my gel manicure. Had a lot of gel mani’s done and she’s up there in top 3 for neatness! Very very happy with it will be back tmrw for a pedi.
Great price, fast service and fantastic on cleanliness /​sterility.
Highly recommend.

If you’re expecting a best friend out of your new threader, that is not what you will get.
Things I don’t like:
1) Parking situation is awful. Consider the fact that you are on campus and will likely drive around looking for a spot and have to pay $ 1 for parking.
2) The threader is not talkative or very warm, and she will move your hand around your face for you, something I have never experienced.
Things I LOVE:
1) You get in, you get out.
2) I have some nice thick brows with my perfect shape maintained.
Despite the fact that I get a little sensitive when I can’t make small talk, I will definitely go back here because it’s the first place in Austin I’ve found that for $ 10 you can get a good shape, and they do not take off wayyyyy too much.

For guys avoid the older Vietnamese lady at all costs. I made the mistake of letting her cut my hair and it ended up being the worst haircut I have ever received. Then she had the audacity to say that it was bad because of my hair type? I have been getting haircuts for over 20 years and never have I had such a disaster of a haircut.
Oh, to top it off she demanded a tip at the end.
If you want your haircut done in less than a minute and looking like its been cut with a lawnmower then this is definitely the right place. If not I would choose a different place, I know I will.

I usually go here to get my eyebrows threaded by an older lady. Yesterday I went and a new girl had done them. They looked really bad, I almost cried. I thought something was off when she threaded my brow so hard my eyes started watering, which they never do. Then when I looked, a big piece of my right brow was missing hair. I addressed it to the lady, and she tried making the OTHER side look symmetrical… NO. I still paid the 10.00 and had to run to Sephora to buy a brow pencil to fill in the missing hair.
Overall, was not happy with the younger lady threading my brows.

When I get my eyebrows threaded at other places the person threading usually shapes them (along w/​cleaning them up) and I didn’t get that shaping here. My friend came along and got just her bangs cut and she says they did an average job. The woman who cut her hair was very nice.

I rave about this place when it comes to eyebrows, but I recently went here to get a much-​needed manicure. I decided to get a french manicure, and it took about a good hour and a half. I’m not sure if I’ve just had really great service in my past experiences, but an hour and a half for a french manicure is extremely long to me.
In addition, the person that did mine, I think his name was Matt, but he didn’t wait long enough to put a second coat over the first, and the white tip kind of got messed up on the index finger, and he fixed it the first time. And then, he did the same exact thing and did not wait long enough, and the white tip of the same finger got ruined again.
Overall, I don’t think the manicure was very neatly or timely done. I was kind of upset because I went to get a manicure to relax and relieve stress, but it was more stressful rather than stress-​free.

Still 5 stars because of VALUE and QUALITY of work. Great job for gel nails here. This time I saw Matt. I’ve paid double for a job not nearly as beautifully-​crafted. Matt, who was very nice, was busy when I first arrived and like the other Unilocaler, I, too had the gal who just prepped me who hurt me and didn’t say sorry– they need to teach her about that– but I say ask for Dao or Matt and you cannot go wrong for gel nails. They take drop ins but I’d schedule an appointment to get the person you want.
This will be my go-​to gel nail spot, henceforth!

I have been here a bunch of times to get eyebrow threading and waxing from Roopa. She does a great job, except that the last time I was left with a huge, intense scar for a week. Most women have sensitive skin at different times of the month, and mine was very sensitive. She commented on this but perhaps has not dealt with this issue, because what happened was that she went to low, too close to the eye, and that skin couldn’t handle the force of a wax strip. I felt violated and angry and that she did not take the sensitive skin seriously or else she would have been EXTRA careful not too wax in a place where she shouldn’t have.
People thought I had been in an accident, it looked horrible and traumatizing and I was concerned about permanent damage for a few days.

This is my second place to try in Austin. I was fine with the finished product (a polish change on my toes,) but the atmosphere was so weird. I felt like I’d just interrupted a strange family get together. It’s teeny tiny small, there was a loud game show on the television, it was pretty hot in there… basically I’ve never been to a less relaxing salon in my life. As far as color selection, I wound up getting french because their Essie/​OPI choices were pretty limited (and the bottles they did have seemed dated.) Also, I don’t know why this is tagged as inexpensive? I paid $ 12, pre-​tip, which I would say is definitely average.

Honestly the worst experience ever. My friend and I go in together and the lady starts to do my toes, while my friend sits there for 20 mins so she leaves and I’m stuck. Then the lady scrubs my toes so hard they start to bleed. After that I choose a simple two colors on my toes which is an opposite French– she fails to do that so then I settle with just one color. The ladies were clearly talking shit about us in a different language. Also I left with a hint of blue polish in the corners of my toe nail, as I leave my toe starts bleeding again. Don’t ever go here! Not to mention I believe this is the first time I’ve ever had to write a bad review.

I love my nails. I didn’t get the name of the man who did both my mani/​pedi but he is awesome! He was very detailed and was casual with conversation.
Went in after work on a Wednesday and although it took a while it was totally worth it. It was nice and quiet and relaxing.
There was no wait and the chairs are good too. Usually I don’t think the massage chairs do anything for me but these weren’t bad.
The price was average: $ 48 for both regular pedi and shellac mani.

The first experience was great! I forgot her name but when I got pedicure from her it was very good. Few months later I went to get gel nail… and the regular manipedi ladies were not there. They are the Asian ladies and they do a really good job. (I should have asked for names). But when I went for gel nail… they were not there and I was going to turn back but a lady who usually does eyebrows said she can do them fine. So I entrusted my nails to her since the other ladies does a fine job…
She cut my cuticle and it started bleeding! No apology no nothing. Put alcohol on it which hurt like hell. Now there is a bloody spot on my nails! Even if you do good job with nail… blood spot makes them look ugly! With bluish red spot smack in the middle of my cuticle. Not even small. BIG spot. And it hurts like hell. At least apologize or look like you care.
The nail shape was terrible. Very uneven. I could do better job. The gel nail itself was not smooth and was unevenly spread out. Even worse after two days my nail polish colors changed… what? Did they use some old gel nail polish or something? I don‘t know… but it went from light pink to a discolored beige pink color… in spots…
Nothing was good. Not the cuticle job, not the polish job, not the nail shape job, not the service.
Not coming back unless the Asian ladies are coming back.

I will never get my eyebrows threaded anywhere else again! IT’S ONLY 10 BUCKS! Threading is such a better experience on my sensitive skin than waxing. The ladies always seem happy to see you when you walk through the door. It’s a quick in and out service that I will use as long as I am in Austin. Go get threaded!

Please Read my 2hr Long Horror Nail Job. Save your money!!!
Well since I have to pick a star it’s a one star. Wish there was an option for no star!
Really, they call themselves a nail salon??? I think not. You want your simple shellac to take 2hrs? Read about my awful experience and maybe this will save you from wasting your money. Feel bad for the young girls who have to settle with this establishment!
First off I called ahead to set my appointment, the person who answered the phone confirmed with the nail tech that the time I was told was open.
I wanted shellac on my nails and had already removed shellac from 7 nails, saving time in the removal of the polish.
I showed up 5min before my appointment. I was surprised how small it was. Only 2 nail stations and one was pushed out of the way against the wall. So I knew they only had one nail tech.
One woman finally pulled out the station that was up against the wall 15min after my appointment was scheduled for. Fine.
Another 15min later and the only nail tech finally came over to start the «process»
I have never experienced such awful nail service before. I have been having my nails done since college, so about 12yr.
So now 45min after my appointment was supposed to start he proceeded to soak my cuticles, which the water to soak in had no soap and was cold, and «shaping» them was the slowest unbearable process ever!
The nail tech seemed as if he had never done nails before. I had to ask him why he did two clear bottom coats on my right hand and only 1 clear bottom coat on my left. Obviously I could have done it myself, I was reminding him what he was supposed to be doing.
Ok so now 1hr and 15min in as he’s dabbing polish on, yes dabbing, not using a stroke, he does three nails on one side then 3 on the other, then the other 2, etc. ass backwards! Made no sense. WTH!
Finally clear coat 1hr 15mi in!!! It’s sticky after its in the dryer!!! So he runs over to get the correct top coat.
This guy is probably not licensed!
Should have just waited to go to the amazing nail salon I’ve been going to since moving here! At least there in an hour I get shellac, paraffin hand treatment & massage!!! In an hour.
This crappy service was 2hr long. WORST NAIL SERVICE EVER!!! Do NOT go here. They don’t know nails. I don’t think he’s even got a license.

I’ve tried many nail salons in west campus and this one has the best service for what you pay.
$ 10 mani and $ 25 French tip pedi $ 10 eye brow threading
All three services were amazing. Always get your nails by Dao she is the best! They have a great nail polish collection including: shellac, Essie, opi and china glaze.
