This place is worth the drive! Best nail salon in waco hands down. They take their time and really make you feel like your gettinf your money worth. To top it all off my nails lasted a month and still didn't lift or fall off. Love love love this place Read Less

Loved my dip and pedi, also had eyebrows waxed, and they were done perfectly, but....my debit card number was confiscated somehow, so I had to deal with fraud, the bank, having card cancelled and reordered. I will use cash from now on. Read Less

Worst experience I've ever had. My friend and I went together to have pedicures and just catch up. Because she was getting a manicure also they called her back first. The shop was very busy and when I they called me back for my pedicure I asked if I could wait for her manicure to be done so we could sit together and they just rudely told me that wasn't an option because they were busy (again I was willing to wait) and laughed and made jokes and said if there was an open chair when she was done they would put her beside me. She ended up being set all the way across the room from me. After i was seated I saw 3 larger groups be sat together upon request. The pedicure itself wasn't great, the wax was way to hot and when I told him that he just looked at me like what do you want me to do about it. Then came the neck massage that I was not aware of. This ended up in me covered in the strong smelling cheap lotion all over the back of my neck and in my hair and all over my arms. By the time it was over I had a very basic pedicure, felt like I was hit by a bus after the massage and slimy from all the lotion. All that for $50 and didn't even get to talk to my friend that I went with. I will not be back. Read Less

I guess the nail technician got mad because I only wanted a regular pedicure instead of a deluxe. She did not clip my toe nails. When I asked her about it she argued with me. Also the wax was way too hot when I dipped my foot in. I have been there before and enjoyed my experience. I don't think I'll go back. Read Less

Nails of America is a beautiful facility and the people are very kind, which is why I chose to take my bridesmaids there for manicures before my wedding. However, I am not happy with our experience because we were rushed and therefore our nails were not done well. In fact, I had to go to another place in town to get my toes re-done. Like I said, beautiful facility & kind people, but they did not a good job. Read Less

I loved it. The person who did my nails (I believe his name was Johnny) was really entertaining and always asked or checked to see if what he was doing was what I wanted and it was a very good experience. Extremely friendly also, I would definitely go back. Read Less

Have had dip manicures done here twice now. The first time it lasted over 3 weeks without chipping, this time it made it a day short of 4 weeks before one finally cracked. Amazing! I'm really tough on my nails so this is incredible for me. Their color selection for dip is a little limited, and you don't get the other benefits of a manicure (cuticles, massage, etc), but I still think it's worth it for the quality and length of use! Read Less

I come here regularly and have only had one negative experience in several years! The staff is kind, I can't think of a time that I've had to wait, and service quality is generally consistent among employees. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Read Less

I had such a good experience here, such nice people who are so easy to talk to! My nails came out perfectly, and I felt very at home here. This is the only place where I'll get my nails done. The atmosphere is so nice, and it is so pretty in there! Oh and if you want a good manicure, ask for johnny, if you want a good pedicure, ask for tu (pronounced like two or too)! They're the best and are some of the nicest people in the business. Loved it and love them! Definitely worthy of 5 stars. Read Less

Horrible horrible!!! Just went this morning with my mother to get a pedicure & lets just say they I left with my toes messed up!!! Will not ever be back... Paid 40 for the gel..... No I'm going back in a bit to demand a refund.... Will not get my business ever again Read Less

Everytime that I have come here (3 times), I've walked in and been able to get my nails done right away with no wait. The staff has been friendly to me each visit, as well. The prices are also a little expensive compared to other places in town (which have given me better pedicures, etc.) I've only gotten a pedicure once during these three times and it was AWFUL. The guy who did mine was in a hurry, the polish didn't dry, and the pedicure lasted 2 days before it chipped . With that being said, I've gotten a gel manicure each time and I LOVE it. They take their time and the polish lasts. I haven't had time to get my nails done, and while they're growing out and don't look the best, my gel polish has lasted 6 weeks without chipping. Read Less

The staff is so rude. I asked for a full manicure and dip in powder. I haven't had a GOOD mani in months, so my cuticles needed some TLC. He didn't even touch my cuticles and just threw on some dip in powder. Looks terrible, and charged $40 when everywhere else I have been charged $30-$35. Will NOT go back. Read Less

I didn't make an appointment, but I walked in and they were able to fit me in right away. I was directed to pick out a color and they didn't have too many options. In their defense, it was a little busy when I went so most of the colors were probably being used or just haven't been put up yet. I was directed to a seat where there was a cold water bottle waiting for me which I thought was a great customer service act. I chose the Spa pedicure. She began my pedicure and everything was going fine. The massage was EXCELLENT. However, when we got to the wax for my feet, I got a little bug eyed. I am a licensed cosmetologist, so I believe I have a fair amount of knowledge for sanitation in the salon/spa. She dipped my feet into a warmer of wax instead of taking wax from it and putting it on my feet another way. Who knows how many other people's feet have been in that warmer and it makes me uncomfortable to think about. Double dipping is just a huge no in the beauty industry and I don't believe TDLR would be okay with this. It just doesn't seem very sanitary. I don't exactly know the proper protocols because I'm not a nail technician, but it just seems to be unprofessional. Other than the lack of colors and the wax dipping, everything else was great and I probably would have given 5 stars. Read Less

This nail salon is huge & has a ton of people working here. The up side is there is usually no wait. The down side is you might get someone inexperienced & not very friendly. I had a pedicure from here a few months ago & it was great. I went back yesterday to get one & it was awful. He wasn't very nice, rushed through it, & I was uncomfortable most of the time. I told him the oil was too hot but he held my foot down in it anyway & before that I felt like he was just digging a...t my toenails with that sharp utensil, it hurt! Well I've been up for hours this morning because my big toe & nail are throbbing it pain. It is all swollen around the nail & I can barely walk on it. Don't know if he dug too deep, or if his nails or the utensil wasn't clean.. But I'm probably going to have to go see my doctor because I think its infected. So if you do go there, make sure you get someone reputable so this doesn't happen to you!! See More Read Less

This place is fabulous! My friend has been telling me about it for a while and I finally got around to trying it. My favorite nail place so far! Didn't need an appointment, just walked in with my mom and sister and we were seated quickly (even though they are busy - all chairs filled). Staff was very friendly and efficient. I've gotten basic pedicures from other places and this place did a lot more for the same price. Bottled water and massage chairs to boot! Read Less

I just left here and pedicure was HORRIBLE . I especially did like after I received my pedicure I saw they other nail tech showing the other customers the different choices of pedicures. I was not even informed there were different kinds. The older lady I was given to do my pedicure did not clean cuticles good nor did she remove dead skin on heel properly nor could she polish . WAS NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER LEAVING. Read Less

This place gave me a HORRIBLE pedicure. I told the man several times that I needed him to get all the dry skin off and even had to ask him to get polish off my skin where he painted my toes. I left VERY UPSET and the next day my feet looked like I had really never had them done dry skin and the nail polish job was so bad. So I called the place and they said to come back in so I did and was treated so RUDE, like I was such an inconvenience. They say me down and tried to get the SAME person to "FIX" it but said NO !!! So another lady came and was SOOOO RUDE she started soaking my feet and then started scrubbing and was doing it rough so untold her that hurts so she put that food back into the water and did the other one. My foot started burning so I looked at it and sure enough she had made me bleed. I WILL NEVER BE BACK HERE AND WILL TELL EVERYONE ELSE NOT TO EITHER!!! Read Less

I was in town visiting my daughter. We decided to use YELP to find a good place for aManicure & pedicure.  There wasn't a lot to chose from. So, we called Nails of America. We asked for an afternoon appointment. We were told there were none available.  We went in anyways and were able to get in right away. The decor is really nice and spacious. There are a ton of pedicure stations. We actually opted for the higher priced pedicure which included a foot wax. All in all I thought the pedicure was pretty good.  The manicure was severely lacking. He cut my nails much shorter than I would have liked. And, because they kept pushing it I went for the more expensive gel nail polish. Because he had cute my nails so short I decide not to go with a color. So, spending the extra money on the gel nail polish was a waste. He didn't massage my hands at all. The technician who took care of my daughter did give her a nice hand massage. I don't know why mine didn't. Maybe he had someplace to be. AllIn all it was really expensive.  The visit ended up costing $75 each plus tip.  I would try someplace new next time. Read Less

This place is really hit or miss for me, it really depends on who your nail tech is. Been here 4x for gel manicure (usually $50, I get French shellac) and regular pedicure ($30). First off I feel like the prices are really steep. Service is good enough, they always give you a water and I have decent conversations but it just seems expensive. I'm a college student, and the area I'm originally from is pretty wealthy, but this place is more expensive than where I'm from. I've had polish that lasted for a long time, and polish that chipped or looked really bad after just walking out the door. Major problem is the fluctuation of service level and attention to detail by the staff. Read Less

Do not waste your time coming here! The people are lazy and do not care if your nails look good or not. I got a pedicure and manicure. The pedicure consisted of soaking my feet, putting lotion on, and then painting my toenails. Did not scrub my feet/file on my toes. I asked the guy multiple times to fix my nails which were not straight and he told me to rub my nails after the dry! I do not recommend anyone go here and waste your money. Read Less

Very disappointed with my experience today. It took me longer to drive from my house to this nail salon than my pedicure took. I wasn't asked what I wanted. Because after two days on the road I really wanted the works. But barely received a rushed through pedicure because her regular customer came in. Then I called back to the to the manager and was just given an "I'm sorry". Read Less

This was probably the worst manicure I've had. I was in town for the Baylor/TCU game and decided to get my nails redone for the game. I never went to this place while I was a student at Baylor and I can see why. I got a regular manicure and she took maybe 15 minutes to do everything. I asked for my nails to be cut down and she barely did. Some of my nails were rounded while others left squared. She also seemed annoyed that I wanted a different color on my ring fingers. She rushed through painting my nails and most of them were smudged or bubbled up. I pointed it out to her and she said "it'll be better when it dries." I left with bumpy, uneven, and just all around bad nails. I hope this was an isolated incident, but this will probably be last time I will go to Nails of America. I'll stick to my Houston place.

This is my favorite place to come get a pedicure in Waco. It's a really relaxing atmosphere and the staff does a great job. I always go for the Deluxe Pedi ($40) because it includes an arm, shoulder and neck massage! I mean, who doesn't need that?! It's more pricey than other places but I think it's well worth it. It's always clean, quiet, and professional. Read Less

Horrible horrible place. My sister and I had been waiting when the man who had us sign in took 3 walk in in front of us. All were younger girls. Enough said, guess you have to be young and scantily dressed to get service here. My sister and I walked out. Do not go here! Read Less

Overall the place looks nice but was such a disappointment. I could have painted my nails and toes myself and it would have been way better. My nails look so tacky and I am contemplating getting them re painted somewhere else. I am a baylor student and didn't know where to go, so of you're having the same concerns... do not go to this place. It was a wasted $40. My roommate got solar nails and you can see her nailbeds underneath her nails. She was highly disappointed as well. Read Less

Clean, upscale nail salon. Usually busy but short wait times. Lots of men working, which is rare in my experience. Prices equivalent to salons back in California (which is ridiculous because they are on the pricier side), but compared to other locations in the area, possibly worth it. Give you a bottle of water with every service. Quick and efficient, but the downside is that they will not spend extra time on anything even after you ask. Read Less

I go here every trip to Waco! Great pedicures at a good price, good gel nail selection, and nice employees. Also, what's not to like about the dolphin fountains? If you get a pedicure, go for the deluxe bc you get lotion and the wax on your feet. For a manicure, go with their gel nails. My last gel nail manicure lasted for over 2 weeks! Since this is a popular place, it does get crowded on the weekends. I suggest going on a weekday or calling ahead on a weekend to see what the wait is like.If you need a mani or pedi in Waco, this is the place to go! Read Less

I had a medical procedure done last week that required me to take off two of my nails so that the oxygen meter read thingy would work.  I didn't think 8 out of 10 nails really matched my Easter Dress and I didn't have time to make an appointment at my normal salon in Frisco before coming to Waco for the Easter weekend.I came here Saturday to get my nails done.  I had the set I had removed and another new set put on.While they did an "A-OK" job with the nails... I was appalled at their method of removing the original set... by breaking them off.  OUCH! That hurt! There is no excuse for doing it like that.I'd come back here for a new set... but I think I'd clip off the old set first cause at least I can do it without making tears come to my eyes. Read Less

This place is very nice and relaxing on the inside. I walked in without an appointment for a pedicure and they quickly ushered me back to a massage chair and started drawing up a foot bath in order to soak my feet. It made my first pedi experience very enjoyable with a few TVs, a magazine rack, bottle of water and comfy chairs.The staff was courteous and attentive. Read Less

Update:  Downgraded to a 3.  Place is still nice inside, but they kind of suck in general.  They always rush you out, even when there's no one there.  As in, straight up kick you out.  And have had more polish mishaps since I've been there.  I am taking my $30 elsewhere from now on.  No need to keep trying.Original:Pretty nice for a pop-in nail joint.  I went there for a pedicure.  They have nice chairs, TVs to watch, they give you water.  Price is on the high side, but not terrible.  I used Lisa.  She's an older lady, and she was really good.One bad thing though... they used acetone to clean up the polish on the skin, and it got on the polish and it NEVER dried.  Had to remove the polish.  I figure that was a goof, not standard fare.
