OnQ Day Spa

Very expensive. My tech made fun of my natural nails, she did a full set super thick, filed uneven and 2 broke 5 days later. the rest all started length lifting in less then a week. plus she never pushed my cuticles back so they were glued under my acrylic, a mess! I want to go back due to location but never will due to everything else.

I have been looking for a good nail place since I moved here 2 years ago. A coworker told me about this girl named Tae who is amazing at nails. I didn’t believe her, but of course I went to try it out. SHE IS AMAZING! I’ve been back the last few months and she is consistent and friendly. I love going and getting my nails done by her. My nails always look perfect and get a bunch of complements.

Let me start by saying I have religiously been a customer here for 4 ½ years. The service itself here is up to par.
My absolute favorite nail tech was here for years and I routinely went back to her every two weeks and lived my happy little life. She left about a year ago and since then I’ve bounced around between techs but never have found one as good, but kept my loyalty.
That all being said: I will never visit an On Q nail spa again. I actually live closer to their new Leander location but after trying it out earlier this month I was shocked to see their prices much more higher than the Avery Ranch location.
I know, I know — nothing else is out there right now to drive customers to other competitive pricing salons but I just thought that’s fine I’ll continue going to Avery.
Last week I went in for my normal mani/​pedi and all was well.
Today however I went in for a quick polish change on my toes, even brought my own polish, and was charged TWELVE dollars for the 6 minutes it took to complete the service. That is just mind blowing!
I would expect to pay $ 5 – 7 on the high end for a polish change (especially bringing my own in) but $ 12 just seems ridiculous. There are SEVERAL other salons in the near by area charging no where near this.
Avery is going through renovations right now — guess they gotta pay it off somehow! Apparently they have also changed owners in the last month so possibly this has something to do with pricing. But alas — I can’t find anyone as good as Leyna and no longer wish to pay their inflated prices helping to spruce the olé gal up! So long On Q.

I really want to like this place because its so convenient to home and fairly well kept inside. but after one too many really crappy nail jobs here I just won’t be going back. I have done manicures, full sets, fills, shellac, and pedicures here at various times and with various workers so I am not saying this after 1 experience alone. I had actually already written this place off when I went the other day because my favorite new place was closed for a holiday. it was only a simple manicure so what could go wrong right? ugh! my nails are a hot mess! and the paint job was so horrible that i didn’t even bother to let it dry at the dry bar, knowing I would remove it immediately. I just wanted to get out of there so i left still wet and removed the nail polish at home before it was even dry. what a waste, but lesson learned. only my new place from now on!

The place is clean.
The service is ok.
The ladies talk amongst each other a lot in a foreign language.
Always seems like they are talking about me. Not being paranoid.
Seems that look you up and down and treat you by the way one looks.
I don’t need to be judged by nail ladies.
Yeah lady– I look like carp when I come get my nails done. Don’t judge!
One of the ladies even told me my pic on my credit card was really pretty and it looked nOTHinG like me. Alrighty then :-/​
Not only that they always bitch about the way my nails look and tell me the person before them did a shitty job. So t know if this is the way to get me to get my nails completely taken off and start over=more money for them.
It kinda sucks since they are so convenient for me.

They always do a great job on my hooves! The place is sparkling clean and the nail workers are detail orientated. I recommend this business to men and women!

Great Service, they always do a great job on my nails! There is always someone to wait on you so you never have to wait.

This is now my favorite salon around town! Friendly staff and willing to do whatever you need! Good variety of pedicure and decent prices! Request for Nancy she is too cute and sweet! Only thing I would change is they side talk A LOT! But everything else is great!

I live going to get pedicures at OnQ! It’s very clean, friendly and reasonably priced. I also have been waxed there and they do a great job! I had Tammy and would highly recommend her!

If you like to be ridiculed, criticized, and mocked in Vietnamese, then by all means, this is the place to be! My Vietnamese friend came here for a pedicure today. She does not look like a typical Vietnamese person, more of a mix, so many times, she is mistaken for other races — which is why the nail ladies (Lena and Tracy) probably had no idea that she could understand EVERYTHING that they were saying to each other. Really mean things like «her nose is too big, her nostrils are too big, someone should pinch her nose to make it smaller» — and then all laughing about it! I mean, she is giving you business — and this is the way that you treat your customer?
My friend is a regular at this nail salon and usually gets Jenny, who is not like these other girls at all and is unfortunate enough to be surrounded by such mean people.
I understand it’s not uncommon to have nail ladies talk about the customers in their native language in front of the customer. But this is just on another level. It’s just incredible how mean some of these people are.
Word of warning: if you don’t speak Vietnamese, and you come here, and they are laughing and talking, they are most likely making fun of you, and then they put on a smile and expect you to tip them. I wish I could give them negative stars.
(Side note, I am posting this on behalf of my friend because she is the sweetest person in the world and does not stand up for herself enough. Also, she does not have a Unilocal account).

I love getting my manicures and pedicures at On Q. It is conveniently located near my house, and it is always clean, so I don’t worry about picking up any weird bacteria from their foot bowls. The women who work there are very nice, and I’ve never had an unpleasant experience.
My pedicures last a long time, and I run about 4 or 5 times a week. I usually go in every 2 or 3 weeks, but a few times I’ve had to wait 4 weeks, and the polish still looked fine, even after that long. I just get the regular pedicure, not the deluxe, and I’ve never felt pressured to upgrade to their «special» pedicure. Manicures aren’t as long-​lasting, but that is partly my fault! I’m notoriously hard on my nails.
When I first moved to this area, I went to another place for my mani/​pedis, but since I started coming to On Q, I haven’t gone anywhere else!

I’ve had a manicure twice at this location, and I took my husband there too the day before our wedding.
My first manicure, in 2008, was pretty decent — lasted a few days, and I loved the paraffin.
In 2010, the manicure no longer included the paraffin. My husband and I went the day prior to our wedding. By the next morning, my polish had come off in one complete piece on two of my nails. I’ve NEVER had that happen before, even when I did my own nails. I spent my wedding day hiding my right hand with my bouquet because I had used their polish, so I did not have a match or time to fix it.
My husband who just had a clear coat, noted that most of the clear-​coat was gone too by the next day.

I had a really nice time getting a mani/​pedi with a friend here. They did an excellent job. My qualms? A long wait with not that many people there, they do not do the mani the same time as the pedi which also made it take a while. Fortunately I had the time that day.
Lastly, I felt they kind of gave me a hard time about not getting the «special» pedicure and the lady clearly didnt like that I was getting light pink on my fingers — pretty funny actually. I left very satisfied with my mani/​pedi but was not the most fabulous experience I have had getting this done.
Hope this review helps! :)

Probably won’t be back.
My pedicure was fine, overall, pretty standard basic (not hot towel deluxe or whatever they’d do), but my friend’s was AWFUL. The girl who was working forgot to massage one foot and forgot to put lotion on the other. My friend has really really dry, delicate skin, and we always try to explain this in advance (no cheese grating, please), but they just treated us like we were crazy.
Overall, the place is clean enough, well-​run and plenty big. It’d be fine in an pinch, but we don’t really want to talk about pinching and pedicures, right?

I would highly recommend NOT wasting your time or money at this place. My daughter and I had appointments but still had to wait an hour before our services. I wanted a lash perm and eyebrow dye. They discouraged these services and said I should get a nail set instead. I said, no, I do not want my nails done. So when they finally took me back for the lash perm, the woman, Li, I think is her name said she does not guarantee the lash perm. Fine, I was not expecting a guarantee. Clearly they did not want to do it. I said that is what I wanted. After spending an hour with the chemicals on my lashes, it only lasted a week. The eyebrow dye lasted about 2 days. My daughter’s mani and pedi were sloppy and rushed. The staff were very rude and did a horrible job all the way around. My daughter said she was sore from them scrubbing so hard on her hands and feet. This place is a total rip-​off and don’t buy a gift certificate there. They expire in 3 months and you cannot buy any products or tip with it if you have any left over after a treatment. VERY DISSATISFIED AND HIGHLY OFFENDED BY THEIR RUDENESS. DO NOT GO TO THIS SPA UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED RUDELY AND GET A VERY SUBSTANDARD TREATMENT.

I am new to the North side of town, and have had the same nail tech for 5 years. Today, Lee gave me the best full set manicure I’ve ever had. The salon was clean, everyone was quite friendly and they made sure I was comfortable. Lee did a great job and at the end surprised me by including a parrafin dip! Lee asked me to make sure if I was unhappy with anything that I tell her so she could fix it. She was very concerned with client satisfaction. I will see her in two weeks for fills! My nails look and feel GREAT!

i refuse to get a pedicure anywhere else. this place is awesome. 26 dollars for a full spa pedi that anyplace else would cost at least 35. they do an amazing job and they are very very sterile.

I love my pedicures at OnQ! The full-​body massage chairs, the ultra clean facilities, their ability to work you in no matter how busy they are. And my favorite thing is the friendly staff. They really seem to enjoy their work.
I have sent two friends there and they now proclaim it to be their fave day spa.
I hesitate to Unilocal about it because I don’t want OnQ to become more crowded than it is, but it is my duty to spread the good word.

I visited OnQ this past weekend to get a manicure and pedicure. While Li was very friendly and they had a clean and busy spa, I don’t think they did a great job on me.
First of all, my feet were scrubbed so hard with grit that they were sore for three days afterward. This means I missed canvassing for Ron Paul on Saturday and had sore footsies at a baby shower on Sunday. Can you say BUMMER?
The next bad thing was the manicure that I added as an afterthought. Well, my nail polish started PEELING off on Sunday at the baby shower! Can you imagine? I was feeling mighty irked by then. You go spoil yourself and you end up with sore dogs and peeling polish? Nay, I say!!!
