Quality Nails

The workers did ok job, wasn’t impressed like some Unilocal reviews. May be it was because the boss wasn’t around or may be they just wanted to go home? One of the guys just rushed and did sloppy job on my French. The curves were not nice and the sides were not colored fully.

When I walked in, the place was empty and kind of sad. The people where laying in the chairs and seemed bothered that I walked in. I asked for a mani-​pedi and was looking forward to a relaxing pedicure (I have a baby and found child care for this)! The man did my toes and the women did my nails and they spoke between each other with out taking a breath. Then a friend of theirs showed up and she set to the right of me and it was three people conversing back and forth all around me in another language the entire time. I had no magazine, I was just sitting there listening. Once my pedicure was done they ran my card and never took me to the nail dryers. In fact I don’t know if they have nail dryers. I’m sure they do, but pretty sure they just wanted me out of there so they could finish their conversation. So i left with freshly painted nails and of course my polish smudged. The mani-​pedi was cheap and not great at all. I would have paid more for a better experience (I actually wanted to get a spa pedi, but it wasn’t an option given to me) I recommend T-​nails. Their prices are around the same, but they are amazing! I would have gone there, but they’re far from my new house.

I’m the first timer & the lady that did my brows was amazing! Highly recommend!

Not only did they stay open late for me but they still took their time instead of rushing through. I needed a fill and scheduled some time with «Le with one E!» that’s his official name. He was nothing short of amazing! So meticulous, detailed and super energetic! I was so sure I was going to end up with someone grumpy since it was late but he not only had great energy but had enough spirit to tell me some jokes. I wanted to change colors about 5 times but he stayed so patient with me! The only thing missing was my arm/​hand massage at the end, but I guess I can do without since the price was so great!

Fantastic place! Nina & Tina are both excellent and very good at what they do! They are professional, prompt and quick! Good prices and exceeded my expectations! I will certainly come back again!

Lame… Maybe their manicures and pedicures are good but, the lady who did my acrylic sucked. It’s happened to me before; I literally had to fix them at home. She also didn’t paint them very well at all. left large spots unpainted on the sides, etc. Not much attention to detail. She Left dried acrylic powder on my fingers (didn’t even know that was possible). What was funny though was that I showed her a picture of my nails previously (another time I had to fix them) and she told me the girl’s nail shape the picture were completely different so it wouldn’t be able to look the same. and it was literally a picture I took of my hand.

I have been a customer for a few months. Walk-​ins like me get quick attention. High quality pedicures and manicures at modest prices. Highly recommend.

Best manicure I’ve ever had! I’ve had tons of acrylic nails and these were by far the best. Didn’t wait at all and they really took their time. If I wasn’t moving away, I would go here every time. Great service & great manicure. Highly recommend them!!!

5 reasons why Quality Nails is THE BEST place in Austin to get your nails done. 1) They do an awesome job 2) They are very affordable, actually the very lowest price I have found 3) They speak English and have all the talent that Asian nail places are known for 4) They seem to truly care about their customers and remember details about life that you share with them and last but not least 5) They seem to really appreciate your business. I’ve been going there for years. I tell all my friends, take them in there myself and buy gift certificates. I highly recommend them!

I alway have a great time there! Everybody is so nice and kind, yea is obvious that they talk about their costumers but they do their job. I been going their for almost 2 years and I love it!

Great service! Very nice ladies and they were really detailed. I will definitely be going back!

Tina is awesome! Felt like a queen. They pampered me to the nines. So nice to find a nail salon that is customer oriented and pamper you. Didn’t rush to get me finished even thought they had a couple people waiting. Everyone who was waiting said Tina is the best. Totally agree.

I have been going to them for years and they do a fantastic job. Very thorough. Great foot massages.
The only drawback is it’s a small salon so you will have to wait because they don’t rush their pedicures, that’s a good thing. I went someplace the other day because Quality Nails was closed BIG mistake. They are very affordable considering the care and attention they put into it. They do attempt to engage you in conversation and are very sweet. Thank you Quality Nails, I will never cheat on you again.

Love coming here! ! Very reasonable so I can come more often! Tan is my favorite by far!

I’ve been going here religiously for about 9 months. I only stopped because I moved 45 minutes south. The prices and work were great. There’s hardly a wait on weekdays. The eyebrow wax was only $ 8, where the place by my house now is $ 10, kind of pricey. I hope to find a salon like this by me.

I’m the Vietnamese who walks into random nail salons and act like I do not speak Vietnamese so I can see if they talk crap about people.
While the water to soak my feet in was running, scorching hot water, I had to use the ladies room and the lady that was doing my nails says,“omg, she has to use the restroom.” What’s wrong with me using the restroom? She goes on wiping the nail polish off my nails, digging her nails into my toes. When she’s cutting the skin, I feel like I was going to bleed… I felt like she was over doing it. Paint job is alright. Could be better and I’ve seen better.
Only plus side, price is cheap and she gave a good foot massage. Also, they didn’t mind staying late for us.

I had been here before and it was… alright. Either it has come under new ownership or the entire staff has changed, however, so if you’re coming back from a previously good/​decent experience, *you’ve been warned.*
I came in to an empty salon and held up a broken nail saying «I need a pedicure and to get this fixed.» I’m told to pick a color and sat in a chair where I received THE worst pedicure I’ve ever had. When she’s «finished» she says to wait a few minutes and gestures to the other lady in the shop so I assume I’m waiting on her to come fix my nail. After I wait a while I finally ask and she tells me «oh, there’s no one here to do acrylic.» Are you being serious right now woman? There is no one in this nail salon, reeking of acrylic-​primer fumes, who does acrylic?!
I had to go to another salon down the road to get ANOTHER pedicure and an acrylic touch up. Never in my life have I felt the need to get a second pedicure in one day. Pathetic doesn’t quite cover the disrepair that this place has fallen into, but it comes close.

This place is amazing! I had a chance to speak with the owners and this nail salon has been around for over 15 years! Pretty impressive and so are their prices!
My friend and I went to get a pedicure and shellac manicure and let me tell you… they gave one of the best pedicures I’ve ever had. Not only did they have a special going on, but we also got a free bottle of nail polish.
The shellac manicure lasted over 2 weeks without chipping. Compared to other salon’s I’ve frequented, they actually took their time. They have some new UV machine that makes it so much faster, but that didn’t stop them from taking great care of us and making our nails look awesome!
They are also very creative with the polish and don’t charge for the little things that other places do. Like extra glitter, two toned nail color, etc.
If your on the north side of Austin… trust me… it’s worth the visit. This place will become your neighborhood nail salon. They are friendly, caring, patient, timely, great customer service, quality… and that’s putting it lightly.

I have never written a review on anything before, and I am not one to complain about service really. But before you mistakenly think that ANY pedicure is worth $ 22, PLEASE learn from me and think again.
My boyfriend just returned from Ft. Hood and I wanted to treat him with a pedicure. We live on Scofield Ridge, so this place was the closest to us and I thought I would give it a whirl. What could possibly be that bad, right?
WRRRRRONG.
We came in, three ladies were sitting around eating. There was nobody else in the salon. It was dirty and cluttered and completely trashy.
My boyfriend and I sat down, my feet were soaking in luke warm water for all of 30 seconds before one woman demanded I give her my foot.
She cleaned and cut and trimmed for about 5 minutes then put this horrendous scrub all over my legs (hurt like hell), followed by a «mask» on top of my foot and THE HOTTEST TOWEL WRAP KNOWN TO GOD. I even told her it was way too hot and tried to squirm out of the towels but she said «no it’s okay» and made the wraps even tighter. My toes are still red (three hours later) and they still hurt to the touch! AWESOME. –_​_​_​–
She massaged my feet while talking on the cell phone. The massage was absolutely awful. There was NO pressure put on my foot whatsoever.
The polish job was the worst I’ve ever had, and I have gotten pedicures regularly for the past 8 years. I could’ve done better and that’s saying something.
The woman who did my boyfriend’s toes cut his toenails crooked and actually cut his skin to the point that it was bleeding. Great first experience. NOTTTT.
It was $ 64 for two of the worst pedicures in Austin. I will literally never go there again and I suggest you do the same. I will go to Arboretum Nails next time instead!

A friend and I went in to get manicures yesterday during a Girl’s Day Out on Valentine’s Day. My friend got a regular manicure with polish that included designs on her nails, and I got a manicure with shellac. While the ladies were nice, we had a lot of issues with service.
1. There were only two women there running the entire shop. When we came in, there was no one else there, but other people filtered in and out constantly. One lady who was getting set up for a pedicure ended up leaving because it was taking too long to get to her. Another lady came in for an eyebrow waxing and was taken care of almost immediately by the lady who had been doing my manicure. She told me to get up and wash my hands, and when I did she left into the private separated room to do this other lady’s waxing with no explanation to me, and left me sitting there waiting until the other lady, (who was finishing my friend’s nails) was available to finish mine. That meant my friend and I were done at completely different times and my friend was left waiting for me to get done. Seriously?
2. There was, (as other Unilocalers have mentioned) a pretty big language barrier. My friend wanted simple hearts painted on two of her nails and that did not happen. She got flowers with gems instead, and for the hearts they had some polish with tiny confetti hearts in it that were put on a few of her nails. She ended up not liking the quality of the flowers or how they looked on her nails. I don’t know how this ended up happening, but my friend basically said they didn’t quite understand she only wanted hearts and I guess it just sort of happened. Later in the day, the paper flowers that had been painted on her nails oddly started to tear and separate under the clear coat which was a bummer.
3. Both my friend’s and my nail painting look *really* inconsistent. I have spaces where the nail technician missed near my cuticles and on the sides of my nails, and then places where my cuticles got painted. If I’m paying for a professional service, I expect that the person is going to at least do a better job than I would do myself.
4. I happened to notice that the cuticle cutter being used on me had already been used on someone else and hadn’t been properly cleaned before being used on me. The lady quickly wiped it off before using it on me but uhmm… gross. Not cool at all.
All in all, it wasn’t a terrible experience. I’m mainly really happy with the shellac color that I chose but because of the above issues I’m not compelled to go over two stars. Honestly, I’d really like to go 1.5 here, but I feel one star is a bit too low. There are so many nail places that my friend and I probably won’t be back — even though the pricing was fair, it needed to be a more professional job and better experience.
