To start, I am not an easy person to please when it comes to my nails and salons in general, so it was of great surprise and relief that I found Heavenly nails. I did a lot of research online and read many reviews of places all around Houston after moving back here about 2 months ago. I went to very fancy upscale salons with beautiful decor and dingy places with no clean supplies, and everything in-between. And to me, at the end of the day, service and quality is what matters to me most. That being said, Heavenly is not the fanciest salon you'll visit...but you'll feel like you're in a palace with the way they treat you. The previous reviews did not lie, their service is just that great. The husband and wife (sorry don't know their names) who own it, are as sweet and accommodating as can be. Visiting for the first time yesterday, I was greeted by the husband at the front desk. I asked him if I was ok parking at the ice house across the street where I had my car because the spots in front of the salon were all taken...he told me it was best to not park at the ice house, and told me he would move his own car out of his spot to let me park there so I wouldn't get towed. That was above and beyond. I had the wife start on my hands, another lady do my toes, and then Bella finished up with my hands at the end. All were so super sweet, friendly and warm. I know I can be picky and a bit demanding on how my nails are done and my colors etc, but they were so patient and didn't blink twice with anything I said or requested. They were so easy going and made me feel so comfortable. While I think some of the technique on my hands can be improved a bit, I know that's just more about getting to know your technician and them getting used to what you like/don't like and establishing a routine over time. I'm usually not as picky about my toes, but I was impressed at how much time she took with everything and how diligently she worked.I'm always picky about my color and I used to live in Austin where dip powder was all the rage and gel was on the outs. So the color options at most salons in Houston were somewhat disappointing to me when I moved back here. I discussed the popularity of dip in Houston vs. Austin with the wife, and I had mentioned how I loved a few specific colors in the SNS brand. At the end of my appointment, she asked her husband to write down the name and number of the colors I was referring to so they could order them in and have them in the salon next time I came in. Y'all! That is service that you can't find anywhere else! I was so shocked and surprised that they offered to do that, and acted like it was no big deal. The prices don't hurt either...I was very surprised how great everything was priced compared to other places I've been. Oh, and their cuticle work is included in the price of the dip manicure I got...so no surprises on it being extra like some places in town! And they're open until 7:30 pm which is a huge plus for us working gals. Overall, I'm so glad I stumbled across this place, and will definitely be my new regular spot. I'm so shocked to find service this great in a big city. They really care about their customers, the quality of work they produce and your overall experience. When you're spending your hard earned money and a few hours at a salon, you want to feel exactly the way they make you feel when you're there. I can't wait to come back and use the colors they ordered in for me! Oh and yes, they have a bar. :) Read Less
