Studio Nails and Spa

What I like about this place is that there is usually no wait. They are fast and efficient. The price is about 10% higher than most nail salons in the area, but they provide quality.

Just had my cuticle sliced open and had to argue with the nail guy (short man with blue necklace) about crooked nail filing a few times. Definitely won’t be back.

Love this place! They never mess up my eyebrows and my nails look perfect everytime I go in. They are also patient with children.

Terrible! Had my nails done last night with shellac and there was polish all over my fingers. It is already peeling off. Worst paint job ever! I continued to question it and they ignored me. They argued with me as they continued to pull the wrong colors and then grabbed the colors out of my hand! Rude customer service.

Once again in my quest to find a great nail salon, I’ve failed. It’s not the worst place I’ve been but definitely won’t be getting my business again. I walk in to get a mani and pedi and fall i love with the setting. Freat colors and relaxing environment. there are 9 employees I counted and not a single customer. They all look at eachother as if they’re done for the day and someone has to take one for the team… they tell me to pick a color so I did and wait as 2 of them finish their lunch, 3 finish the article they’re reading on their tablets, 1 seems to be taking a nap and the others have hidden. Once I finally sit in a chair, 2 women begin with me one on my feet and one on my hands. I started looking around for the massage controls and noticed they were watching me with smirks. I then had to ask «does this chair massage?» And she said yes the remote is on the side. With a struggle to reach around the back of the chair, I managed to get the control by myself while the 2 women began talking in chinese. Thanks for the hospitality. The pedicure massage was was fantastic so I began to think it was just a rough start. The lady doing my nails used a brand new nail file which as us ladies know are very hard and scratchy. She begins scratching my polish off and I think took some of my nail bed with the polish… did a great job of cutting my nails to be even but didn’t touch my cuticles. I laid my head back to relax since the pedicure felt so good and heard chuckling and laughing. I look up and 2 employees were sitting in the chairs on either side of me, and 2 were standing behind the lady doing my pedicure have full blown conversations about something very funny, making it impossible to relax. By the end of it, I was digging under my nails getting left over polish out and excess polish of my nail beds. Then I noticed my toe nails which were once pretty long even nails were now below where my toe starts… atleast the color is pretty, right? UPDATE: 5 days later and I’m on my way to get a new manicure due to the gel lifting off my nails I’m just about each one. And chipping. Pissed.

Thoroughly average — reasonably clean, large selection of colors, large space. My tech was nice and did a good job on my toes, but the polish was watered down with acetone, which resulted in thin spots in the polish. I did not see that the tools came from a sealed package.
I also got an eyebrow wax, but it looks like nothing was done. The techs also talk about you in Vietnamese — typical, but still unacceptable.

I’ve been coming here for over 2 years now, twice a month for a deluxe pedi. So relaxing and hot rock massage! I have really loved the service and the price until my last visit a month ago. The young man sent to work on me was clearly new so I changed my deluxe pedi to a standard pedi. I didnt want to waste money on someone who didn’t know what was up. This pedi experience was hands (feet) down the worst I’ve ever had. This guy just butchered my toes. Instead of trimming the toenails, he filed them off along with a good portion of my cuticles and surrounding toe flesh. When i asked him to use the clippers, he did, he also cut my toenails so short and into the nail bed that over a month later they are starting to recover and not as tender. The polish job sucked, bubbled and was so sloppy there was polish all over the mutilated toe flesh and let me tell you it burned like heck when I had to re-​do my polish at home. I’ve had great service here for a long time, but I wont be back after the last experience.

I’ve been going to this place once in a blue moon for as long as it’s been here and every time I ask myself why I keep coming back. The owners are sweet people and most of the staff are as well. I’ve never had a complaint about my pedicures. But I swear every time I get a manicure I regret it. This last time was the worst. I just don’t understand how this place just cannot seem to paint my nails neatly without putting thick globs of polish and smudging them like crazy. The shaping is always off and don’t even think about getting a pink and white set, I’d do a better job at home. I’ve gotten my brows waxed one time from this place and the shape was awesome, but SO THIN! Apparently they now do lash extensions, and I was able to see a girl who had just gotten them done. Not horrible at all just not my thing. I can’t completely rule this place out due to their pedicures, but never again will they touch my hands!

Well I’ve been on the hunt for a new nail place as the one I’d been going to came under new ownership and the service quality began to suffer. After asking around, I decided to try Studio. I was wanting something south, somewhere I could stop on the way home to Kyle or stop in when I’m in the area (which is often). My friends came through!
I walked in and was almost immediately sat down at a manicure station. While it did take a bit to actually be seen and manicured, I was kinda okay with it. They were extremely busy with walk in after walk in after walk in. I’m assuming the guy with the clipboard is the owner and he made sure to approach everyone walking through the door to see what services they wanted. Now, like I said, it took a bit to be seen, but what do you expect with a business that relies (probably) mostly on walk ins? It’s first come, first serve. That being said, the wait wasn’t too horrendous.
The ambience is nice. Lots of mani and pedi stations.
Amazing shellac selection. If you want shellac and you’re south, come here. Seriously there has to be well over 500 colors to choose from… it was kind of overwhelming, actually! Regardless, awesome color selection.
I saw Jenny for my shellac mani and I just adored her. This was the first time I’ve had a manicurist actually talk to me and seem interested. I know it’s her job to make her clients feel welcome, but it was just really nice for me. So thank you, Jenny. Mani was on the fast side but I guess I understand. Still got the standard lotion massage on arms and hands but I wish it had been longer. That always feels so good!
Anyway, please come here! Maybe make an appointment, though :)

This is my absolute favorite place to get a pedicure. I hate going anywhere else and I’ve even convinced my husband to get pedicures here as well. I never have any issues and even if they’re busy, I will wait. This place is fantastic!

I Moved to Austin recently so I’m not familiar with the local salons. My first experience was at UT Nails… it was awful. Bad customer service, technician was not good at the stiletto type shape, and made my nails waaay too long after I asked repeatedly to make them shorter.
Today, I saw Ly for a fill at Studio Nails near Southpark Meadows by Jo Ann’s Fabrics. I couldn’t be more impressed! She paid great attention to my cuticles, corrected the shape (I asked for «very pointy» and she delivered. Claws biotch! Rawr!), and the length is perfect! Ly and Studio Nails have my recommendation.
The only set backs were that they were very busy and the salon isn’t particularly well laid out or interesting to be in. No drinks, only one TV that I saw, slight chemical smell… basically don’t expect an ambient experience.
In my opinion, it’s worth the sacrifice for FANTASTIC looking nails on a budget. THANK YOU LY!

Had this studio mixed up with another one. Been to this one once and was pleased with what I received.

Excellent service. They always do a great job and really care for the details. I’ve had many of the technicians and I notice that they all take their time to ensure that their customers are satisfied, and they’re very kind, friendly people. I get compliments each time I get my nails done, so I highly recommend Studio Nails and will definitely return.

This place has brought out a new addiction in me! I have gone twice and seen two different nail artists and was happy with both results. The first lady did a great job (didn’t catch her name) went in for a second visit and saw Lu. She was a very sweet lady and did a great job. I’m a hairstylist and was worried about having acrylics and them not lasting but they held up over a month until i took them off. Highly recommend! Thanks studio nails!

I love this place.
If you want a good pedi and shellac mani then ask for Jenni!!!
She is wonderful and always takes her time to make sure I’m happy.
She always makes sure I have my water and my chair is comfortable.
I’ve probably had everybody there do my toes and have never have any complaints.
Kim is also good for manis!

I would not recommend coming here. I had been a loyal customer for several years. I had gone in for a manicure, chose my color and was waiting for my turn. A few minutes later, the polish leaked (I never opened the polish at all) and ruined a $ 360 Coach purse that I had just rec’d as a Xmas present. The owner took multiple attempts to get a hold of, and then they did nothing. I was able to get the same purse at a discount since it was discontinued at a cheaper price and the owner was still unwilling to reimburse me for the cost (only $ 120). I’m disappointed that the customer service was so poor when it was clearly not my fault that their polish leaked. Please do not give them anymore business.

I am currently here getting my nails done for my wedding in 5 days bc I had issues with my appointment at another place due to recent weather. The technician is not taking her time, very rough, hardly looking at what she is doing and speaking in her native tongue constantly to other employee’s (which usually doesn’t bother me, but she’s not paying attention to what she is doing). I told her I was getting married saturday and that I would pay extra for extra care. I think this went in one ear and out the other. It’s almost painful. I would say the customer service is terrible. She is actually brushing the middle of my foot currently with a nail brush.
The place doesn’t look very clean and I’m not sure that the tools have been properly sanitized. On a positive note I didn’t wait very long.

AWFUL! I came in with a friend, they sat us both down in the pedicure chairs (we were getting manis) because all of the tables were taken. Not a problem.
When we were asked to pick out shellac colors, they were very rude and rushed us. Then, they forgot which colors we picked. The man who did my nails was prompt and did an OK job. My cuticles were pushed to far back, he left the polish on my skin and my nails were uneven. They clearly do not care about results, just getting their «clients» in and out.
My friend, sat in the chair for a good 15 minutes before anyone came to her, and when one did, he asked which color she wanted, and since she didn’t remember (because it took them so long to get to her), he then was obviously irritated and walked away to do someone else’s pedicure. I scoffed at the situation, and the man doing my nails laughed and said someone would be with her soon. 10 minutes later, another man came to her and was asking her questions that she should’ve been asking him. He blatantly said that what she requested was complicated and did a horrible job shaping her nails, I mean, they weren’t even round or square, just jagged. The shellac machines they have just don’t seem to work, and he had her set one I. Her lap to dry her nails.
Totally not worth twenty five dollars and an hour of our time. I will never EVER give this place my business, and I will absolutely deflect people from spending money here.

Horrible experience. I asked if they could do a shamrock design on my big toe for St. Patrick’s Day (I brought in a very simple picture to illustrate) and the lady just laughed at me! She then called over her other friend who also just laughed! What the hell?
They also did my nails and toes at the same time without asking, which I find to be inconsiderate because then they always tell you that you can’t use the massage chair because it moves you around too much. And pretty much the only reason I get a pedicure is so I can sit in the massage chair, relax and read a book. I decided to let it slide, and just stay seated in the chair while my nails and toes dried, like I’ve done at many other places before. When I told the guy at the end that that’s what I’d like to do, he flat out UNPLUGGED the massage chair right in front of me so I couldn’t use it!
Then he brought over two nail dryers that were totally broken. They would only stay on for 5 seconds and then you’d have to take your hand out and put it back in to restart it. I did this about 5 times and was then like «Can I just not do this? This is kind of irritating. I can just let them air dry.» and his response was «Just do it two more times.» What?!? They obviously just wanted to hurry me out of there, even though they weren’t busy AT ALL and it wasn’t even CLOSE to closing time.
In addition to this, my nails looked horrible. I repeated the word «round» at least three times and ended up with totally square nails. He hurt me multiple times and was not careful at all. He even started just using a slightly different colored nail polish at one point and I had to point out that two of my nails were totally a totally different color than the rest.
At the end I think he could tell I was upset and that he wasn’t going to get a very good tip, so when I went up to the counter, he ran my card and then said he «forgot» to charge me for the design so could I please add $ 5 to the tip line. My response was «No. You can run my card again for the additional charge if you need to.» and his response was «No just add it to the tip line.» Yeah, I don’t think so buddy. You explain to your manager why you’re not getting tipped.

First nail chipped 15 minutes after I left. Polish was uneven. Three nails were chipped two days later. In a shellac manicure! Unacceptable. Will never go here again. Staff also unfriendly. Doesn’t look very sanitary either.
