Cindy’s Nail Spa

Just came from Cindy’s Nail Salon.
I came in to get a new set. At other salons, I’ve always requested to get solar with a shellac finish. Today, My technician suggested me to get solar with a powder finish. I was hesitant because I’ve always heard that shellac was THE BEST. She informed me that this was better and «more natural» looking.
I have to AGREE with her. I really love the color outcome! I went for a soft pink and it was very subtle with glitter. But not the type of glitter that will make a 5^th grader excited. Like a pink pearl glitter.
The only suggestion I would make that i love at other salons is the hand washing area. An area to push the old brushes from the new brushes. Also, they should get away with the paper towels and use actual towels.
It was busy in the salon with pedicures and manicures. I can see that the prices and service is what bring people back!

I love little nail places like this. I hope that if you come here, Miss Hollee does your nails! She is friendly, sweet, and does an excellent job.
My toes are now a nice, smooth lavender color. No bubbling, no problems with the polish at all. I do wish that they had more blue and green color options, but overall I enjoyed my visit. :)
Pricing: spa pedicure is 27, deluxe pedicure is 37, shellac pedicure is 42, shellac deluxe pedicure is 52, shellac manicure is 30. 5 $ extra for French tips, and a 30 $ charge for a 30 min foot massage.

One of the best places to get a pedicure! I always ask for Mimi! She never disappoints, and always pays attention to toe nail needs. Her foot massages are also great.

I’ve been going here for 5 years and never had less than great results. Love it. My daughter goes here too and agrees.

Really inconsistent salon. My daughter received a great pedi/​mani… Mine on the other hand not so good. The salon needs to be cleaned. Minor changes would make this salon so much more appealing… Paint, dusting etc. I totally realize it’s hard to keep a nail salon dust free but believe me everything had an inch of dust including the towel I was suppose to lay my hands on.
Very nice people, just not over the top impressed.

I came here based off of other reviews. WORST DECISION OF MY LIFE! Okay maybe that was dramatic… But you get the point. First red flag the design I showed my tech he said he couldn’t do… the asked someone else and SHE said yes we can do a verbatim of it. So we came to a compromise. The shaping is uneven, a nail is not centered, cuticles were no tended to. The shellack (that is extra) was not even painted on evenly.
The pedicure is mediocre at best, I literally times my massage it was 68 seconds each leg (I got the shellack pedicure) I will give my tech this she killed on tending to my cuticles!
Overalls this place is fairly clean, a decent variety in nail colors and colored tips.
I would never recommend this place to anyone. Especially for the $$$ price tag I paid WITHOUT tip!

Great experience! They took time to do a great job! Very relaxing I was falling asleep getting my nails done! Will be returning! And not pushy at all with offering other services!

Absolutely loved cindy’s. Professional, sweet and knowledgable. Got a shellac manicure at a very reasonable price ($ 30) and it lasted for about 2 weeks.

I really liked this place and the staff was really friendly, but this is the only shellac manicure I’ve had that chipped very quickly afterwards

Best shellac manicure I’ve had. Just happened to stop in since I was in the area. I will def be returning.

I went there on a Sunday and only had to wait 10 minutes to be seen! I got a solar French tip set and the cost was only $ 35! The only reason I would knock 2 stars off was that my nail separated from the white tip… I have NEVER had that happen before and a week after I got them done! But, the staff was friendly and very family friendly!

I’ve been here a couple of times and have had good experiences and not so good experiences.
They employees really do seem to love their profession but will all do respect, Cindy exceeds in professionalism when it comes to taking care of her clients. She is really diligent and precise with the shellac manicures which makes all the difference from a good looking and tailored manicure or a half butt one.
Recently, I got the shellac manicure with French tips. I can’t tell you which salon artist I got but she really didn’t take care of my nail needs like shaping my nails, cutting the cuticle, and getting the dead skin etc. Also, she left some parts of my nail without nail polish and the French tip line was uneven and jagged. Other than that, she was excellent conversation, friendly, and didn’t rush things.
Before 24 hours surpassed, I went back and pointed out the manicure imperfections. I told them I loved my manicure but that the imperfections needed to be fixed. Cindy was really quick to step up and help assist my needs. She took her time, completely redid my nails, and attended to my nail needs like shaping my nails evenly, cutting away the cuticles, and making sure the French tip was smooth and straight. She did an excellent job and I highly recommend her for shellac!
Thank you Cindy for taking good care of me! I look forward to services in the near future. As for her other employees, please take this Unilocal review as constructive criticism and a tool for bettering your quality of care to clients.

I hate salons that are the get you in, get you out type she really took time on my foot massage and I felt super relaxed! However. Don’t get waxed. I literally went home after and had to pluck :(

I have come here often and just had the WORST shellac manicure of my life. I have never had very long nails, but Cindy did my nails and got so much shellac on my fingertips! I told her about it many times throughout my manicure but she ignored it until the end and then got annoyed I pointed it out. I will never be coming back here.

Had a spa pedicure and manicure for $ 50. Cindy (namesake) was very kind and did a great job cleaning up my cuticles on my toes and fingers.
My last manicure at a different place resulting in bubbles in the polish and was not impressed. Here, Cindy makes sure the polish dries real well in between coats for a beautiful and smooth polish.
Would recommend this salon. Will definitely be returning.

I wish there were an option of no stars. This was absolutely the worst nail experience I’ve had in a long time… or ever. I was visiting San Antonio and went to this salon based on the location and ratings. The pedicure itself was ‘fine’, as in it was nothing special; the manicure was awful. I have decent length nails and asked that they be filed square. The technician filed them down to a Y shape??? Is this even possible? I asked that she correct the problem and she then filed one nail down to the skin and made it worse. Nicely, I showed her what I’d like and she then told me to do it myself. I asked if another technician was available and I was not answered. The owner was at the next station and did not attend to the problem nor apologize and correct the problem. I left without a manicure.
A basic manicure should be a very simple request. Needless to say, I do not suggest this salon.

While visiting my family in San Antonio I decided to get a pedicure in celebration of my up coming graduation. I had decided on wearing peep-​toe shoes and wanted to make sure my toes looked the part. Now when I go to nail salons for pedicures I always get nervous because I am prone to ingrown toenails, I needed a salon I could trust to remove them quickly and efficiently. My mother had just started going to Cindy’s and she recommended her and said they’d take care of me.
I liked the location and feel of Cindy’s. it was small and the staff was polite when greeting me. The polish selection was okay at best, they had good brands but not a huge variety of colors. The problems came only when I actually sat down for the pedicure.
It started off normal enough, I was relaxing and fiddling with the massage chair (yes they provide those) but then came time for the painful part, the tech found my minor ingrown. I thought she got the first pretty quickly but she kept digging into the side of my toe, trying to get the rest of it I guess. I sat trying to take it, knowing it would feel a million times better when she finished. It took her a good 10 mins with one toe and 5 with the next. It might not sound like a lot but when you have a sharp nail tool digging into the side flesh of your toe, you just want things to be done with. I have had techs breeze through worse in the past, it has literally taken others 20 seconds at most to clip the problem part and be done with it. So you can understand my mounting discomfort when she repeatedly failed to handle the problem. And to make matters worse she repeatedly asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the Deluxe pedicure for $ 10 more. I’m a poor college student guys, I didn’t have much on me. I had to decline a grand total of 4 times and with her last attempt came her convincing argument of «your feet stink, you should get deluxe pedicure». Ummm alright? What a sales line. I am barefoot inside most of the day, I’ve never had an issue with foot odor, and if I did, I’m sure her deluxe pedicure would only make a difference on my wallet.
So I finished out the day with painful toe beds and a mediocre polish. What was worse is that when I got home I realized there was still part of the ingrown left in the toe she spent an absurd amount of time on. I’m actually really scared at how that nail is going to grow now because it hurts even more than when I went in. My other toe swelled up the morning of my graduation after the pedicure and it hurt when I put pressure on it. Awesome, like heels aren’t uncomfortable enough. Needless to say I had a terrible experience and WILL NOT be back. You go to a salon to relax and feel pampered, not be hounded and in pain.

I dropped in here on a whim after dropping off some dry cleaning because I was in desperate need of a pedicure.
This shop is tucked into a corner of a shopping center and there is ample parking.
I did not have an appointment but walked in and was helped immediately. A basic pedicure ran me $ 25 w/​o tip. Their color selection is good — they carried brands that I have found to be reliable (OPI, color club, essie). The nail tech was polite and my pedi ran about 45 min.
A major perk is that it is so close to my house, so I will likely be back very soon!
