These ladies are sooo sweet, and try to get you a good price especially if you’re a student! They did both my nails and toes in less than an hour and they came out so nice. They aren’t very busy so if you’re looking for a local salon to go to on the regular this is the perfect place! Read Less

Was very disappointed in my experience here for the first time. Although the ladies are very friendly and clean, my fingernails look horrible. The polish is bumpy, has lint in it and the top coat was only applied to part of my nail and is very noticeable. My nails were also filed unevenly. As for my pedicure, the water was freezing but my toenails look okay. Will not be going here again because it's just not worth it. While I was here, I saw many other customers who were dissatisfied with either the quality of work or lack of communication for pricing. Would not recommend this place but if you do decide to go, make an appointment or call ahead of time to see how long the wait is. Read Less

Tried to go because I had heard good things about the work but was disappointed when the door was not even open. They claim to open at 10am, I tried to go at 10:30am. No one was there. Kind of a put off. Most likely won't be back. Went across the street to iSpa nails. They did a wonderful job. And were open on time. I suggest going to them over this place. Read Less

I've been hesitant about dropping the cash to get my nails done after several bad experiences at other places. So happy to have come across this one! I came in with a picture of the shape and length I wanted and got just that  not too long of a wait either, definite plus for busy schedule. Read Less

I gave them a one because I could no give a zero.  3rd salon I've tried in San Marcos. Still disappointed.  My nails where thick, poorly no horribly shape, they looked like spoons.Unfortunately, I had to wear  them over Thanksgiving Holiday.  Not one complimented my nails.. (Which has never happened)When I returned to have them fixed they said that was how they were suppose to look. They  were thick because of the tip.  Tip or no tip my nails have never been this thick.  I usually keep my natural nails and I allowed her to cut them off for this.... They were lifting and I had to pay for  another full set after two weeks of this mess.. If you are new to San Marcos and know quality, RUN.....If you don't know any better and this is what you are use to getting try somewhere else you might be surprised.... Read Less

no stars for this terrible unprofessional place. went in with a picture of how i wanted my nails done! then nail tech proceeded to take off my nails even after telling her i was there for a refill only! my nails look horrible, nothing like the pic! also not sanitary, bathroom is dirty with bad lighting i will never go to this place again & walked out telling next customer how their service sucked! stay away people, owner came across as greedy, it was her telling nail tech what to do. i am disgusted with this place!

I've been coming here for years but not anymore. The same lady, kim, has worked there for a long time and I recently had an experience where I tried a new salon and they messed up my nails so I came back to this salon and everything was great until I left. I had a chunk of gel still on one nail and it was already started to chip after 3 days my nails turned yellow like I'm a smoker! I'm not a smoker at all! I called and she gave me hassle about coming back but I left out of state that day i got them done and she knew I did because I told them that's why I rushed to their shop and not to the original ones who did my nails. She argued then told me to come in when I get back. I went in today and she argued with me in front of customers saying maybe I'm the reason they turned yellow and that she has lots of customers and it never happens. She finally agreed to redo them. I got seated with a nail tech and he told me the lady who did my nails original probably put a water based top coat on. So...I won't go back. Read Less

Horrible first time experience trying an organic nail set for my graduation. After awhile I noticed two spots on my nails. I go to another nail salon and find out I had not one but TWO nail infections!!! The manicurist was shocked at how my nails were done. As she was taking the nails off we both had to wear mask because there was so much dust. Which she said was a classic sign that the "organic dip" was cheap and fake and that the nails weren't even done right. It scared me so bad because she said that if I had waited another week or few days then I would had probably had to lose the worser nail. As my first time doing the acrylic set I most likely will not do it again for a long time and I know for a fact that I will NEVER come back to this location! Read Less

They are the best! I've been a customer since they opened. Always a pleasant experience, clean & sanitary. Never a wait if I make an appointment. I have received Mani/pedi, full sets & fills and gel nails . Always a friendly and relaxing experience. Read Less

This is my go-to nail place, although I only get pedicures. Have never had a bad job although some of the workers are better than others. Even got nail art on my big toes once for a cruise and the woman did a great job. I showed her a picture of what I wanted before she started and she didn't have to ask to see it again. It wasn't an exact copy of the picture but I liked it just as much and thought the palm tree looked nicer than in the picture! I go to other places if I'm not close to this place, but other places have cut too much or scrapped too much or the nail polish started chipping off a couple of days later, etc., or they are good one time and not good the next time. I have never had any of those issues here. This is the only place I've been in San Marcos that is consistently good. There are others with better massage chairs or nicer TVs or more TVs, but have yet to try a place that does a better job and that's more important to me. I even splurge once in a while and get one of their upgraded treatments with hot stones and/or paraffin wax! Definitely worth a try! Read Less

I am a senior at Texas State. I have been to ever nail salon in San Marcos and always ended up disappointed and waiting until I went back home to get them done BUT this place changed everything. Although the exterior may seem off-putting -needs updated- this nail salon is phenomenal! I went in for a Shellac manicure and I will keep going back. The employees were very friendly and unlike other nail salons, they spoke fluent English. I went to a young guy named "Esther" and I would recommend him to anyone! Very impressive place, wish I would have found it as a freshman. Read Less

Tried this place out for my eyebrows today and what a waste of $10 that was. First of all they seat you in a desk chair...the heck? Once she was "done" she showed me the results and it did not look like I'd just gotten a wax. I asked her if she could please pluck out the stray hairs but was very reluctant about it. Spa Pro of Tx-80 was much better and also $10. Read Less

We called last minute for two pedicures and they were able to take us right away. The salon appears clean and the pedicure thrones are newer.  There was a bit of a communication barrier. I couldn't carry on a basic conversion. Pedicures were affordable. Under $30.However, it is quite a long process and left with rough feet. Read Less

Nothing fancy but they did a very good job on my nails. She filed them and cut them really short I will admit but I didn't specify. However I never specify and they've never ended up this short. I sat in the pedicure seat so long it made my butt sore! Read Less

Worst set of nails I have ever had. They were lumpy and way to thick. They were unwilling to give any refund back. She wanted to add more powder to make them smoother. They were already too thick. Also implements did not appear to have been used in the autoclave for the pedicure.  After she was done with my pedicure she wiped the nippers with her fingers and put them back in the drawer. BEWARE!!! Read Less

After attempting 3 other local nail salons today (2 were closed for spring break...?, 1 was booked up) I, and my 3 sisters in law, ended up here. The place is clean, the atmosphere is comfortable, no loud music or tv, and the techs are extremely nice. They offered us bottled water or tea. Nice touch, especially for a low cost salon ($15 mani, $25 pedi). They let all of us sit in the massage chairs, including my niece, even though we weren't all getting pedis. Again, nice.They didn't chat amongst themselves in their native language constantly, which can be distracting and can become rude. Instead they engaged us in appropriate conversation, without "ruining" the relaxing experience.I got a manicure and a pedicure with nail art on my big toes (which I wasn't even charged for-BONUS!!). The water temp was perfect, the prep work and massage were amazing (not rushed and no nicks or ouches!), the hot towel was wonderful!!, and my polish looks great. Bottom line: great prices for exceptional service in a clean, comfortable salon. When I'm in need of a good mani, pedi, or both I'll definitely return. Read Less

The ladies at this nail salon are really sweet. They do not rush giving massages and they are good at them too. My mother and I aren't that picky when it comes to nail salons, the main thing is that they need to smell good and look clean. After going to three nail salons we finally came to this one because it did not stink and it looked decent. Read Less
