Nails Unique

I live in Austin and most places overcharge (even at the most basic ones, ~$ 35) for a regular pedicure. I hardly ever get a mani and/​or pedi and feel like my money was well spent on it. Until today! I came here based on proximity, and I’m so glad I did. The staff is nice, prices are beyond reasonable, the environment is relaxing and it’s very well kept. I honestly wish this nail salon was in Austin! However, I’ll definitely come back every time I’m in Houston :)

Good location
Great prices
Wendy for Mani
Heidi for pedi
Lynn for facials
Highly recommend these ladies for a day of pampering
Been a loyal customer for 10+ years

Very friendly and helpful staff coupled with a nice pedicure at a great price!

This is my favorite nail salon in Houston! A friend brought me here after a half-​marathon last year and I have been a regular ever since. The place is clean, staff is really nice and professional. Both my manicures and pedicures last. The location is perfect and I couldn’t be happier with Nails Unique!

Clean, everything was in individual packaging. Pedicure spa was 26.00 which is reasonable for the area. It was professional and the people very nice. As a guy my feet gets very calloused and this is probably one of the better places I’ve been to since moving to HOUSTON. It seemed packed for a weekday morning so I can’t imagine what it would be like on a Saturday morning but I can see why this place gets high ratings.

I have been a customer for 15 years. These are professional manicure and pedicure ladies. They do a superior job. 10 stars!

Super-​solid $ 20 pedicure that included a fair amount of scrubbing and [very light] massage. I wish they had a UV light for drying, but they killed it with their fan contraption. The ladies that worked on my sister and I were VERY friendly and went out of their way to make conversation with us. Great selection of high-​end polishes. I would definitely go back the next time I’m in Houston and my feet look scary.

Waxing — Lynn seriously is the best! She is very gentle and careful with your skin. She uses Nufree wax for full face waxing, under arm waxing and bikini waxing. Their prices are unbeatable. Really really good!
Pedicure/​Manicure — Again, they are very careful meticulous with their work. No shortcuts are taken. They massage and scrub well. Use good products. And once again, their prices are unbeatable!
The entire salon is super clean, neat and tidy!

Unfortunately I have to change my review on this nail salon. Tina my «go to» girl left and when I went this past week to get a manicure/​pedicure it was horrible. The pedicure was okay, but the manicure was brutal. She didn’t cut my cuticles and when I told her that I wanted them cut, she cut me on two fingers. I refused to let her finish and probably will not be going back. Time to find another salon! So unfortunate!

Not the best pedicure I’ve but not the worst. It’s a cheap place that gets you in and out quickly. very quick! My pedicure was 20 min. I like longer pedicures so I wasn’t a big fan of this place. Also, there isn’t much of a variety in colors– which is disappointing. Wouldn’t come back.

I wouldnt come here. They barely scrubbed my feet, the massage was just them putting the lotion on. They made me wait 15minutes when a ‘regular’ came in to get waxing services. Totally not worth it. I want my time and money back.

So today is my birthday (YAY!) and I wanted to treat myself to a nice relaxing pedicure. My nails are much too short to do anything with so I just opted to get my toes done. They have a great selection of OPI and Essie polishes, lots of amazing reds and pinks. The woman was very patient with me while I picked up and put down every color they had, even when I ended up with my first pick after all that looking :)
I just felt so relaxed with the hot foot spa, the foot and leg massage was incredible, and the massage chair… I was drooling! I was in complete heaven! The décor is nothing special but it is nice and relatively quiet with a gentle Oriental soundtrack playing in the background. The ladies were so friendly and do great work. I came with a friend who picked a beautiful pink color that when used for the second coat, turned a weird orange color. They were so sweet and let her pick a new color and start over, no charge. I thought that was very generous, considering the nail technician would have to do twice the work.
My toes came out gorgeous, so now I’m ready to ruin them when I go out dancing later ;) I wish I could come here every day, seriously. Such a fun experience; I’m glad Unilocal brought me here.

Visited yesterday for the first time after receiving a gift card for a manicure. With the location being so close to Highland Village, I was expecting pretty pricey services – but their manicures are only $ 15!
I went with a French manicure, and Helen did my nails. One of the best manicures I’ve gotten – I just felt completely pampered throughout. The massage was relaxing, and I am so please with how my nails turned out. Helen was super sweet, and the staff in general were all very friendly. Great service, with little things – as one reviewer has already mentioned, they remind you to take your card out and pay first so that you don’t mess up your nails in your wallet afterward. The environment was clean, as were their tools. Nothing to complain about at all. I’ll definitely be going back again!

I have been a client for about 20 years. Lynn runs a very professional salon. The service is always fantastic and everyone is very friendly and accommodating. The price is very reasonable for the service that is provided and the atmosphere is always relaxing and comfortable. They go above and beyond the necessary requirements to take good care of their clients. I have recommended nails unique to many people over the years including my family. We have three generations of satisfied customers and we hope that more people find this jewel of a salon.

I have been a client of Nails Unique for 8 years. All the technicians are talented, polite and do a fabulous job with manicures, pedicures, facials, mini massages, and waxing. They are completely careful with sanitizing their equipment; I have never had an infection. I like to have a spa pedicure separately for my own enjoyment but they will do mani-​pedis simultaneously if you are in a rush! I always make appointments they have very loyal clientel and are very reasonable even though they are located on the fringe of River Oaks.

Best nail salon in Houston! Nails Unique is consistently a clean, calming, professional salon experience. In business for over 20 years, they routinely receive a sanitation score of 100 or above by the State of Texas. They sanitize all instruments and have a wide variety of color selections from Essie and OPI in new, fresh bottles — unlike other salons where it appears the colors may have been mixed or added to. This is not one of the rushed, cheaper salons in town, so reservations are recommended, but walk-​ins are welcome and/​or calling on your way there is usually all it takes. Many of the nail technicians are related to the owner, Lynn, and they will in turn treat you like family.

I have enjoyed this place for a few years, but my last visit not so much. I got a nail infection on 4 fingers. Ouch!

$ 35 manicure and pedicure in the fancy massage chair, Esse nail polish, nice ladies, and they pretty much always have an opening. They even remind you to take your credit card out right before they put on the polish so you won’t mess it up by putting your hand in your purse. Once when I was in a rush one of the ladies actually took my keys out of my purse and started my car for me so that I wouldn’t ruin my fresh paint (please note that I begged her not to do this, but I admire her dedication) $ 15 eyebrow wax and they shape them straight across not with the fake looking arch. Friends have told me they have the best facials too. One million stars!

I love this nail salon. I have gone here for 13 years and have never had a a bad experience. Ask for Lynn, who is the owner, and I promise you will never have a complaint!

Wonderful place, wonderful nails
I received a gift certificate from my daughters for a mani and pedi and I was blown away by Nails Unique! The service was wonderful, the hour that I spent there went by much too quickly as it was so relaxing getting my nails done there. And best of all, my nails have never looked better :)
I’m always been hesitant to try new nail places because I’m worried about sanitation but this place was spotless. They use the autoclave and they have a wall of little boxes, one for every regular customer to keep their own nail file in. I was so thrilled to have found this place, I asked to have a box immediately.
The shopping center itself is nothing special but the salon is really special.
