Instyle Nails

If there was a no star rating I would give this place very unfriendly and cold the service was horrible worst pedicure I ever got! Don’t go there would not recommend it at all they didn’t even massage my feet as spa pedicure or put the coating the same day colors came off my toes… Will be my first and last time there! The massage on the back was ridiculous the lady was doing so reluctantly and did nothing as far as a massage should do. Didn’t like the service one bit.

This is still my all time favorite place for my nails. Kelly is great with manicures. They are probably the most efficient, price friendly and clean place i have been. The price and service is reasonable. I wouldn’t recommend going when they are busy. If there is a long wait, I would recommend to just come back when they are less busy, but that is anywhere.

Have been going here for years– cleanest, most reasonable prices inside the loop and they always make sure your nails look perfect.

I’ve been going here for 2 years and it’s my favorite. I admit I have occasionally ended up some place else due to time constraints… but it’s never the same. The manager, Peggy is amazing. I’m not always lucky enough to get her — but the other nail techs are also very good.
And if for some reason you have an issue — they make it right. They have been in the neighborhood for 10 years — and there is a reason! They do good work, they are affordable and they are professional.
Bonus — they just remodeled! So give them a try!

$ 35 Mani (Cindy)/Pedi (Mai) w/​$ 5 callus removal=$ 40 Included foot & calf massage, and hand/​arm/​neck& shoulder massage that was worth every penny! Not a lot of unnecessary chatting either. Worth the $ and time. Making my follow-​up appt. for weekly mani& massage w/​Cindy to strengthen my short natural nails… and a bi-​weekly pedi w/​Mai! Yea me!

Very impressed! Did an exceptional job on mani and pedi plus they were quick. Two woman tagged teamed without me asking which got me in and out in about 45 minutes… even during lunch time. Price is inline with other shops. Parking can be an issue but I’ll overlook it because my nails look good! Will be back. This is my new salon.

Im a regular here. Love it and the price is resonable. The neck massage is the best way to end your visit. They get really busy on the weekends so come early or during the week.

Used to be a frequent customer… but not anymore. The nail technicians are way too rough and have cut deep into my cuticles, leaving me sore on my big toe which later developed a nasty puss-​filled bump… TMI? Oh well. That visit will be my last.
The only reason why I haven’t realized that their treatment was out of the ordinary until now is because I have found a much better salon that is very gentle and more hygienic.
Though the cleanliness of this salon is not up to par, the customer service is quite satisfying. Not enough to make me come back though. Haha!

Great place! Brought my aunts and sister here and everybody was satisfied. Cheap prices, good service!!! The bad comments are just absurd!

My iPhone got stolen here, and there was only one other older couple in the salon and the rest employees. I had it out and when they started my hands I gave it to my bf who left it on the drying table with all the magazines. I paid walked out thinking it was in my purse until I couldn’t find it when we were getting on the freeway. We got off back tracked to in style and assumed would just be where he left it… nope they’d already turned it off and stuck it in their pocket and at that time I did not have find my iPhone. I know it was an employee bc the patrons were in their same spot in the spa chairs getting their pedicure. It took them less than 10 mins to swipe it! Crazy. Not cool to steal especially from your paying customers. I wish I could’ve called the police on them but no one cares about a stolen iPhone so I was just out of a phone and had to pay retail for my next one :-(

5 stars for Instyle nails!!! The ladies that work here are super sweet and they do great work. I always walk in and never have to wait more that 5 minutes for a manicure and pedicure. Won’t go anywhere else in Houston!!!

How do you get your nails done and then THREE HOURS LATER the polish mess up like they were JUST painted?! I’ll tell you how, old finger nail polish! Seriously, salons make enough dough, they all need to replace polish so this crap doesn’t happen! It’s 12 minutes after they close and of course no one answered when I called. I’ll be calling tomorrow for a discount or refund of my money. Just ridiculous!

I love Instyle Nails. I’ve been a customer since they opened. It actually wasn’t until after they opened that I found out about the other location on West Alabama (but have still never been).
I think the value is awesome — mani/​pedi, shellac, waxing, etc.
I never make an appointment, so I expect to wait when I go, but have never waited more than 15 min (to me, it’s just a bonus if there is no wait!). When you’re a walk-​in, how can you expect immediate service?
I think the staff is friendly and they do a good job. Excellent? Well, no, but for the price, I feel it’s pretty hard to beat.

They don’t use medically sealed tools. How many feet have seen the same tools that mine just used? Ew. You get a massage which is nice except that the tiny ladies don’t really know how to give a proper massage. I only came here Bc my usual spot (Leon’s nails) was booked up. I don’t think I’ll return.

At the risk of having of having a longer wait on my next visit, everybody needs to know this place is the best. Very clean, very efficient and a great deal!!! Make it part of your regular routine.

Extremely jaded Vietnamese ladies who can tear through my bear claws in under 30 minutes? Hats off ladies.

Never have I ever gotten my eyebrows waxed. I’d have to drink to that one.
My female friend fooled me into going to Instyle Nails by asking if I wanted to get an eyebrow wax with her. Sure, why not? I’m always open to new experiences. Little did I know. that when we walked into the store, I would be the only one really getting my brows done, while she took pictures from the corner.
The lady that worked with me was pleasant and calming while I laid with my eyes closed in anticipation of the pain. I told her to make it look natural and not feminine — and that’s exactly what I got. It was fast, clean, and as painless as it could have been! The before/​after pictures look great (my friend took the before/​after pictures).
$ 10 for eyebrows. Not bad. Perhaps this new experience will grow into a regular venture.

I’ve been getting mani/​pedis here about once a month for the past 6 years and have recommended this nail salon to many friends who have become repeat customers. There have been many times I’ve taken girlfriends here after brunch for their birthdays. I even brought in 13 ladies one day as part of an all-​day bachelorette party. Needless to say, I’ve brought them a lot of business for a handful of years.
After the last 2 visits, I am no longer a customer.
Last month I decided to try getting a shellac manicure for the first time. If you aren’t familiar, it involves several coats of gel. In between each coat application, you stick your hands in a device that pulsates UV rays onto the your nail (and unfortunately your skin, which is another issue but not a complaint against the salon). Well, apparently the UV wasn’t doing its job that day and my nail technician kept having to apply and reapply coats. I could sense she was frustrated and politely asked «is there a problem? Should I pick a different color?» She did not respond but did mutter something in Vietnamese to her coworker then promptly guided me to move from the massage chair I was in to a chair in the front. Eventually, she got it done.
On my most recent (and final) visit, I was a walk-​in, as most people are. They assigned me to a chair and the same girl who did my shellac manicure was working on my feet while another girl did my nails. It’s widely speculated and sometimes proven that the women in Asian-​run salons do speak about their customers. I can say with full confidence that this was happening this date and whatever the conversation, it was not pleasant. For over half my life, I have been going to nail salons. On occasion, someone working on your nails might accidentally cut or scrape you. They usually take your flinching or an «Ouch that hurts» as a cue to stop whatever they’re doing. And an apology might come with it too. This woman was butchering my feet. Many times I flinched, tensed up, and vocalized my discomfort and she blatantly ignored me or worse — rolled her eyes while muttering something in Vietnamese and then the entire staff looked over at me.
This is simply not the way to treat any customer, especially one who has given you much repeat business throughout the years. There are far too many other nail salons in the area that offer the same services at the same price. Now I’m on the hunt for one of those.

I went here to get my nails done for my wedding with my maid of honor, and a year later when she got married, we decided to come back to Instyle because we were very pleased with the service. They do appointments and walk-​ins.
They have a big staff so the wait is never too long, and they handle your hands and feet with care while making them look fabulous.
And I totally agree with Allison M., the free mini massage is a nice bonus!

Free neck and shoulder massage with every mani and/​or pedi? Gooooooaaaalllll…
Not to sound like a Univision sportscaster, but this is a score! $ 30 main/​pedi with extensive foot, hand, neck, and shoulder massage. I used to be a regular here until I moved too far away and discovered Prestigious in the Heights.
All of the ladies are so sweet and they do a great job. My favorite experience here occured one day when I was the only person in the salon (9am on a Tuesday) and one of the nail techs asked me to check over her English workbook. I thought that was so cute and she got a 100%, it really endeared me to this place. I will still stop here on a random day when I get off of work early and re-​route my commute to make it «on the way home».
The salon itself is really clean and the chairs are pretty new. They are open M-​Sa at 9 am-​? and Sun 12pm-​5pm. There is another location in Upper Kirby on W Alabama.
