Mirada Nails and Spa

I stopped in for the first time on the way to Randal’s. I decided to treat myself to a pedicure & lower leg wax. The woman that helped sat me quickly and started her work. I asked for extra massage on legs/​feet and wished I didn’t bc all she did was stroke up and down lightly with no effort or attention to the massage. The gel pedicure turned out good at $ 50.00. Then she took me back room to wax my lower legs. The little room was filthy & had numerous fast food bags strewn around. The surfaces didn’t look clean. The towels next to wax warmer had some dark brown spots. Looks like they don’t clean the room very often. This made me worry about just receiving a pedicure & weather or not they clean their instruments properly. After that I paid the $ 90.00 for subpar pedicure and lower leg wax.

Took my daughter today to get her nails done and was really disappointed. Her manicure lasted literally 5 minutes with no massage or any special treatment even though she was getting gel. I would not return — they seem more about getting people through quickly than taking their time.

I was getting my nails done for prom (just a simple French tip) and the lady was clearly sooo rushed. She filed my nails unevenly, painted them slightly crooked, and didn’t wait until they were dry to paint the clear red (which she forgot on my right thumb!) so there’s some visible white streaks in my nails. To top it all off, she didn’t even remove all of the nail polish from the last time I did my nails so now there’s several flecks of gold in what is supposed to be the clear part of the nail. I’m sure they are very good when you are getting a more expensive option, but she barely tried for mine. Not worth $ 19, I would not go back.

The lady at the counter is very nice and easy to usher stand. They will wax your eyebrows better than any other. Also their selection of nail designs for fake and real nails are great. Defiantly go here

I used to be a loyal customer at this place. But seems after Tiffany left the service given has suffered. I am going elsewhere.

This used to be my go-​to nail salon, but the last few times I’ve been, they have done a very poor job. The staff seems annoyed to have you there and many of their utensils seem dirty/​used as they pull them straight off their cart instead of from a sterile bag. Also, the fact that they are pushy about only paying by cash is not only inconvenient this day in age, but it also makes me feel like there’s something fishy going on here. I’ll go somewhere else from now on.

After living in Austin for a little over a year I finally found the right person to shape my eyebrows the way I like it! Great job Kathy! My nails and feet look good also.

I’m done with this place. Been a regular for years and every single time I’ve gone the past 6 months or so — something went wrong. Nails cut too short or not enough, uneven trims, poor polish jobs, cuts to skin, etc. Cleanliness of the salon is/​has been a huge concern. Hate all the up sells they do, but can deal with that.
The nail techs seriously concern me with the continual use of their (dirty) cell phones while doing manicures and pedicures. What is up with that?! They put gloves on… then proceed to «touch» everything around them including their cell phones (which are proven to have more germs than a toilet)…then put their phone in their (dirty?) pocket or lay them on the dirty floor… and then start working on Manis/​Pedis again. Which means everyone gets germs from the previous clients as well. This does NOT seem like an acceptable protocol.
A few days ago, I went in for a pedicure (the hopeless optimist that things will get better like before!). Long story short, I ended up at Urgent Care yesterday with severe toe pain next to the nail, red and swollen. Doctor put me on antibiotics 2x/​day for 2 weeks due to an infection from the pedicure procedure.
Out of curiosity, I just looked online at the state licensing website to see if this salon has had any similar complaints — their license to operate is EXPIRED! Wish I’d known that earlier this week and I would NOT have went to this place. Sure could’ve saved myself alot of pain, money, & stress.
Can anyone recommend a CLEAN, SAFE nail salon in nw Austin/​Cedar Park area?

I really liked this nail salon. It’s the first one in the area that I will return to. Very professional staff when making reservations and checking out. She did a great job on my French manicure and was super friendly too. I would have given 5 stars but I was turned off by the upselling. Over all a nice clean place with competitive prices. Will definitely go back and refer friends.

What a treat! A nail spa with compassion for us ladies with sensitive nails and finger tips.
I did my research and walked in early on a Monday at 10am. Everyone was busy but bothered to look up and say hello. I asked to use the restroom first, you can always tell how clean a place REALLY is just by how well the bathroom is kept.
Bathroom was clean, up to date, simplistic, with a stack of clean cloth hand towels… very nice touch, no paper towels. A wicker basket was below for the used towels.
Stephanie had just gotten there. I passed her on my way to the bathroom and she smiled cheerfully while giving a hello. WOW, you can’t go wrong with a smile on a Monday morning. I came out and noted the very well kept, clean salon. Oh and somebody did not go cheap on the furnishings. Beautiful foot basins and pedi chairs. Stephanie called me over; she was ready faster than I would have been on a Monday.
I sat down and immediately noted how clean her equipment and work area were. Ok, so I’m not a clean freak but when it comes to someone touching my body, I’m sort of into sterility. Do you blame me???
Stephanie asked what I would like, I told her square short acrylic nails filled with a nice french manicure that I could show off for her. She smiled and giggled. I was a fill project as I was coming from a salon in Round Rock that was just too far away. I complained about how thick my nails were, so thick that I could not open the charge port door on my phone; I’d been using a gift card to pry it open for the last 2 weeks… ANNOYING
She totally understood me and listened! Bonus! She was meticulous and careful as I watched an HGTV show on the big screen above me. She had to completely replace one nail and the glue stuck to my skin. As I tried to pry it away a little bit of my skin tore, ugh… she did something I’d never seen before, she put super glue on the tear so the file wouldn’t hurt it again. She apologized over and over. Just a super sweet caring person and very good at her job.
Another bonus was the drying station with cool fans. No gizmo with lights that can burn sensitive fingers and turn french white yellow. So happy I’ve found my close to home relaxing nail spa. Stephanie is my go to girl!
Do: Bring cash for the tip. It’s easier for them and
It’s respectfully asked.
Be a nice patron, bring a positive attitude.
Make an appointment, it gets busy.

Mirada Nails is THE BEST hands down.
Tiffany is soft spoken very professional and speaks Fluent English which is an added bonus ! When I call to make an appointment she actually greets me by name. Tiffany never lets her customer leave dissatisfied. All I have to do is mention something WHILE ITS BEING DONE and it’s rectified before I finish my sentence. As customers we must communicate our wants and needs. bringing a photo is very helpful to the staff
Thanks for always making me look and feel
Pretty
Thanks Mirada

If I could give no starts I would. I have gone multiple times in the past two months and have never been completely satisfied but I kept wanting to give them a chance. Every time I have gone in, I have had a different tech which is no problem at all. The problem is that with every different tech they have ALL at some point in the service stopped to answer phone calls and use their cell phones. Today while I was getting a pedicure the technician half assed my leg massage so she could talk on FaceTime and have her conversation as she pleased. STRIKE NUMBER ONE. Then as always they up sold me on a design my design is on both of my big toes and are two totally different designs… Uh… What… STRIKE NUMBER TWO. After that I got my nails done and the different technician proceeded to cut three of my fingers while using the machine to file down the top of my nails. And to «polish» this whole ordeal off THE LADY ASKED WHAT GEL POLISH I WANTED and I picked it out for her and told her the number of it she STILL USED THE WRONG POLISH.
Working in the service industry myself I deal with clients as well and would have never even had the chance to act like this. These ladies are rude and talk about the clients as well. 0 respect is shown to the clients. And don’t even get me started on the cleanliness of the salon, these ladies double dip into everything, and do not clean up to tdlr standards. If an inspector came in they would be fined for many of different reasons.
Ladies if you want to go to a good salon keep on driving past this one!

Still going to this place and after about 4 years I’m still never disappointed. They still do such a great job on my nails and are always eager to please all their customers. I am a devoted and loyal customer to this nail salon I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

All of these women are amazing! I have been coming here for about three years and have never been disappointed. They all do a great job and are always on time with appointments. Tiffany is excellent at managing and making sure everybody gets taken care of. I highly recommend mirada nails!

Sue is wonderful for manis, pedis, new sets, fills, anything! She is gentle, quick but not messy, and never pushes for extra services. The manager is great about appointments and it’s rare that you can’t get in right when you need to. Their equipment is always clean, and services are very fairly priced. I’ve had a gel peel off from not being dry enough and they redid it for free when I came in to show them what happened. Love this place.

Best nail spa in Austin. I have been a regular customer for 5 years. Great place for nails waxing and massage.

Vicki did my fill on my nails, she did an amazing job and I’m very picky. The place is clean and welcoming.

Been going here to see Vicki for a few years now. I followed her from another a salon and have to say I love this place. Vicki does incredible nails! No lifting, no breaking and she is quick. Very clean salon and professional.

I was in the shopping center where Mirada’s is located and thought I would try them out. I was a walk in and they sat my right away. Jenny was great but on the slow side. The salon itself was not the cleanest place around and I agree with the other reviews bout the UPSALE. I am a big girl and know what I want, I really don’t need you to try to tell me what you want to give me. No, I don’t want a wax. No, I don’t was upgrades and my nails. No, I don’t want you to pull my nails off and start all over (WHY would I want that)
I most likely won’t be back but I don’t live in the area so no huge loss

They’re extremely friendly here, which is a big plus, and my pedicure and gel mani turned out just fine, but I wasn’t impressed with the salon itself, or the cleanliness. It was very much an OK experience.
They’re quite bad with the upsell, too. Asking me for this and that all through the service, including a pointed look at my eyebrows before asking if I wanted a wax. Um, just got them threaded but thanks for trying to guilt me into paying for more stuff.
There’s a whole lotta nail places out there (even if me and my mom are still searching for a truly good one in Cedar Park), and this one just doesn’t stand out much above all the others.
