Serenity Nails & Spa

When I first stuck my feet in the water it felt like ice water. Then My water got too chilly 2 times before I even started my pedi. Kevin did my pedi. He did a great job on cleaning up my feet and toes. However, he did forget the hot towel part. He lotioned my legs up then I think he realized he forgot the hot towels and then wiped off the lotion with the towel… he didnt reapply more lotion or anything. He then painted my toes. I was overall happy with the treatment bc he cleaned up my feet and toes so well. But when I got home I noticed that the paint job was sucky. I went back the next day an he added another coat. I wish I could rate them 3.5 stars. It was good but not the best nor the worst. Just good.
They also need to update their Polish selection. It’s spring now not winter. More bright/​pastel colors!

Was given a Mother’s day gift card, and finally got around to using it this month. (I don’t like to venture from my tried and true nail places) All I can say is, don’t believe the hype about this place. I haven’t wanted to write a review, because the tech that did my nails was really sweet, and of course told me her life story so I felt bad. I went in to get Christmas nails done, when she was shaping my nails, I told her I like them very square. She rounds them, even after I repeated myself, and then manages to take chunks out of the corners of 2 nails. So I ended up with 2 incredibly lopsided nails. She didn’t even say anything, or try to fix it! She also put some of the nails on crooked! I then wanted all of my nails painted with red shellac, and two with white shellac with candy cane stripes. It looked like a first grader did it! The first one she did was ok, she put it under the light, then she did the stripes on the next finger and WOW. one was straight across and the other sideways, and I was just over it and told her to take it off I had to go. I had been there for over 2 hours already just to get a regular pedi, and a new set with clear powder and shellac. I was DONE. So I ended up walking out of there with one nail just plain white, one nail looking like a first grader painted it, and 2 lopsided nails. Not to mention the shellac didn’t last a week before it started chipping! I would rather spend the amount of money I did there, at a place where I know I can walk out not wanting to hide my nails!!!

Always happy with the service here. I usually just run in for waxing, but today I went in for a pedicure. I am very happy with the kindness of the staff and how comfortable I felt there.
This was the fourth or fifth time I’ve been there and I will be back.

I’ve been coming here for over 3 years. I love this place. Helen and Kevin are the best techs! Helens pedi massages are amazing! You can get your waxing, manis, and pedis in one stop. If you can ask to get your pedi in the private room. It’s not closed off but it’s dim and much more relaxing. Either way though ask for Helen! Best shellac manis and leg massages!

I live in Houston, with family in Pearland, and I ONLY get my nails done at Serenity. Worth the drive!

I had very high expectations of this place after reading the reviews, but my experience was just average. I came in for a mani/​pedi, (with shellac) and a nail design on my ring finger. My massage chair did not work nor was I offered a drink, however some clients at another station were offered wine.
They were nice and did a great job on my pedicure but rushed my manicure. The nail artist was initially nice but seemed to get upset and spoke very loudly in Vietnamese to her coworkers when I asked her to alter the design to look more like the picture. I do not like the end result but after asking her to alter it twice, I just gave up and paid.
It’s a nice, clean place but I do not see myself coming back.

Came in yesterday for a pedi and French tips. The lady that did my nails was so nice. She did an excellent job! Will definitely be back.

First time doing all the spa stuff. Mani/​pedi/​eyebrows. The attendant was friendly and did a wonderful job. 100% sure my chair was broken. The chair made it painful but I eventually got relaxed. Reasonable prices and includes mimosas!

The first time I went to this place they got me in as their last appointment, which was awesome! It took them over two hours to finish an easy full set, and they sent me home with wet nails telling me to be careful. I continued to go back because I liked the work and every time they just kept getting worse and worse. They would file to deep and split my nail, or file it down to almost nothing! My nails wouldn’t be even or straight. Not to mention how absolutely unprofessional they are, they would leave me sitting there to answer and talk on their PERSONAL phone!!! They were so rude and they didn’t seem to care as long as they got money at the end. I will NEVER go back to this place again!!!

Love this place! Everyone is really friendly! I’ve been here twice now. One pedicure and twice for shellac on my finger nails. Extremely pleased! Ask for Mimi! She is great and always eager to make sure you get exactly what you want! I’ll be back!

The service here was really lacking. The ladies argued over who was going to do my mother’s pedicure. They also lost her color, and one lady rolled her eyes when we had to find it again. My cousin asked for Solar French manicure and when she went to check out they made additions that she did request. One lady was constantly on her phone. They were all around unprofessional. Moreover, my cousin’s nail beds burned for hours after because they had dug into her fingers so much. The overall quality of both manicures and pedicures were meh. We won’t be going back.

Great spot! It’s hard for me to find a good place for pedi’s, this is by far when of the best nail salons in pearland! Ask for Helen

My absolute favorite! I never go anywhere else! The nails always last (in color and strength), great prices, the salon is always immaculate with freshly cleaned told, huge variety to choose from, offers drinks every time, talented and friendly staff. I could go on and on. There’s No reason to not go here for any nail, waxing, or massage service!

Today was my first time there and I was not impressed. Maybe I went on a bad day, but the staff weren’t very friendly towards me. The woman who did my nails never once talked to me other than saying «relax» when she was doing my nails. I don’t mind the ladies when they talk on their phone, but I thought it was sort of rude to make a personal phone call in front of me and stop what she was doing. When my nails were drying, another customer comes in beside me and the lady was very nice and polite to her and asked if she wanted a drink or anything (I never got offered a drink). She did a good job on my nails and the price was good, but it’s debatable if I came back again due to the customer service.

I came to serenity based on reviews… huge mistake. Yes it’s true they have an area that looks nice and yes they have a bar, however I was not offered a drink or a chance to sit in the super nice cool area. In fact when you walk in it’s like stepping back in time or in a clinic. reminds me of when I first started getting me nails done in intermediate… it reminds me of a clinic because it’s super white with pops of burgundy chairs. very sterile feeling. Oh the sterilization of tools is running it under sink water… maybe she used soap but I saw the girl take the clippers and go straight to the sink and rinse them… what is that. Maybe it’s because I came in after 6:30 and they close and 7:30 which is mainly why I stopped in that my paint job was horrible. I’m big in getting my cuticle cuts… they for sure did not do that in fact im sure by next week I’ll need another pedi. My nail lady knew no English what do ever hey I get it not a major issue but you should know enough if I ask a question about my cuticles you can answer. No she had to ask the guy next to her. I’m thinking her not knowing English was why she didn’t ask me now short to cut my nails… cause she didn’t even cut them… at first had to teller her… I’m are you going to cut them I want them super short… At that point u should if just left… I’ve never walked out before but I guess there’s a first time for everything. Wanted something closer to home but now I know driving is worth it to know what your going to get. Will def not be returning and def would not recommend In fact I’m
Writing this just to warm others. I think this is a salon of regulars… two very old women were getting there nails done with there husbands waiting in them. Not that there is anything wrong with that… but a salon like that is not what I would like in a salon. The manager I guess Lynn was very nice and did give me coupons for future visits but coming home and having to repaint my toes is no bueno. I posted a pic if 3 toes that shoes the paint job.

I like getting mani/​pedis, but I don’t get them very often because it can be expensive. I’m going to be in a wedding soon, and I have been browsing places on Unilocal in the area. This place has good reviews so I decided to give it a try.
When I arrived, I was immediately greeted. I chose my nail polish and then proceeded over to one of the pedicure chairs. There were a few other customers in the salon, but it wasn’t too busy. Holly did both my mani and pedi. She offered me a drink (not sure if they have alcohol, but they have water and soft drinks), but I declined. She immediately got to work.
They have a menu with the different mani/​pedi options. I chose the deluxe pedicure (#2). It came with hot wax and lavender scrub. The water was a little hot, so she cooled it down for me. I did have a hard time figuring out how to control the massage remote for the chair, but eventually I found a setting that would work. The chair itself is kind of small. I had a bulky bag with me, so I felt awkward holding it in my lap, but it was fine.
While I was getting my pedi, the lady next to me was finishing up hers. She was not satisfied with the shape of the nail or the amount of polish that was used. Lynn the owner sat down and redid it all for her. That’s good customer service. This was about 20 minutes before closing time too. The customer was nice about it and said she would come back, but Lynn insisted that she stay and let her fix it. Once Lynn did, the customer was satisfied. I was very impressed with that.
I got my mani done in the same chair. I noticed there were gnats flying around, which isn’t uncommon in nail salons, but it’s still annoying. One even landed on my thumb as Holly was putting on my top coat. Uhhhh really? She pulled it off and of course it left a dent in the polish. Holly was nice enough to redo it. It’s only March and the gnats were bad. I’m wondering how bad it will be in the summer months. That’s really the only negative thing I have to say about this place.
The staff is so friendly and professional. When I went to pay, I received a coupon for 15% off my next visit. I also got a punch card. Five stamps gets you $ 5 off. The best part was that my mani and deluxe pedi was only $ 35! I was prepared to spend about $ 50. I may have to start coming here more often when my finances allow for it. I’m so satisfied and I’m happy to have found this place because of the reviews from my fellow Unilocalers! Thanks ladies!

I loved this place the first time I went for one reason… this thin asian lady with a voluminous short bob I can’t remember her name. She did a wonderful shellac mani on me. The younger guy Tri who did my pedi didn’t use toe separators so got red toenail polish in between my toes…
My second time around today and I am
Extremely disappointed… actually was pissed off earlier but now I’m over it.
I called an made a same day appt at 11:30am. She told me it takes 35 minutes and I had places to be today. Showed up at 11:30am. I just needed a shellac French manicure. Tell me why it took 1 hr. and 25 minutes to get done and it looks like dung! I walked out of there 12:55pm…with a hair appt at 1pm in the Heights that I now had to reschedule for my husbands bday tonight. W-​T-​F?! 85 minutes?!? I’ll never get back. $ 30 I’ll never get back… and my beautiful, strong, natural nails look like a POS!
The shaping was all off, she got French white part on the sides, the white wasn’t even matte white but translucent white with dull spots on the nails. the tips aren’t even… she hurt the crap out of my cuticles when she filed them. she filed my skin in it…
Deal breaker: letting my nails soak in a plastic bag filled with acetone? No, no! I’d rather have the laziness cut out and them use foil and cotton balls like normal nail salons. Cutting it the easy way made my hands smell, dry, age, and wrinkly… I didn’t want all those chemicals on my whole hands soaking for 20 mins…
So would I come back? Probably not. There’s many asian women including my mother to do my nails. Too bad she’s in the motherlands right now. Btw-​I had Holly. Sad to write this bc she is a nice woman but dang!!!

Quick service, very friendly, and I love the shape of my nails. Lisa did my nails, so go check her out! The smell of nail lacquer and acrylic was a little overwhelming at first, but the end product was worth it! I was in and out with time to spare before my flight!

I came in to get an overlay & I have to say this is the absolute BEST overlay I’ve ever had. I like my nails to be a natural length & width. Mae listened to every detail I asked for & took her time to cater to my needs. I highly suggest requesting her for your next appointment :)

I have been to every nail salon in Friendswood it seems on the search for a place that was good. I went to a particular place for a year and got shellac manicures and stopped going there due to getting tired of paying 30.00 for shellac that was supposed to last 2 weeks and only lasted a week. After that I went on the search for a salon that was going to last so I have tried many until now!
The staff are extremely sweet and guess what? They actually do last 2 weeks! It’s amazing and I got my nails done the week before thanksgiving and they lasted threw that craziness and a week after that!
Attaching a picture of my nails right before getting them done after 2 weeks.
I will come here for now on and would recommend them to everyone!
