Advanced Nails

Best salon! The experience was great & everyone was friendly. Was super clean & love my deluxe pedicure & gel manicure!

I have been going here for years. The people are super sweet and patient. They always listen to my sometimes crazy requests for designs. They are also wonderful when I bring my daughter in. They do a great job at acrylic, NEXGEN, and gel polish. They have several pedicure options now that are relaxing and enjoyable.

First, the good. If you get Nextgen nails, this is your place. I am SUPER picky about my nails and have tried dang near every shop in town. I’ve finally found a place that gets it right and Helen is the best at the them. Perfect thickness, gets the entire nail, listens to you, and can take your old ones off lightning fast. I’ve had a few experiences where it takes forever to get the old ones off and it makes me crazy! «T» did my pedicure and was super detailed and did a great job applying my lacquer. Overall, they do a lovely job and are worth every dollar.
EDIT: They have moved locations since I wrote this review (just one door over), and their new space is awesome. Still no wine but the pedicure selections have gotten better and they have those «fancier» lotions now. They’ve stepped up their game.
Because of this, I have removed my negative comments about the ambience and not having fancy products, etc. I’ve also changed my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars.

Always feel good to know that you’re in a good hand, I preferred vivian to do my nails, even is not her day work, when I call make an appointment and they’ll call her to come in to take a good care of me, that’s What I love about it, business is not just about money, about keeping their customers happy, vivian she does excellent job, she makes sure all the cuticles are clean and neat…

Worst Pedicure Ever!
Just moved to McKinney and live very close to this location — so I decided to give it a try.
The lady working on my toes hurt me several times. As a matter of fact, my big toe aches and I’ve been slathering Neosporin on it. I opted for the upgraded pedi and had the most disappointing paraffin wax and hot stone massage.
At the end of the torture session, my toes looked OK and I was just ready to GO HOME. The older lady took my payment and asked if I’d been there before. I said, No, I just moved to the new neighborhood beside Walmart. She asked, «How much you pay for house?» Being caught so off guard by this inappropriate question, I gave her an answer (even tho it was none of her business!) and she said, «OH NO! TOO Much! You pay too much!»
(I’m pretty sure she’s not really too in touch with the real estate and new home construction industry.)
To top off the lovely experience — when I was writing in my tip amount on the CC receipt, she said «Only $ 5???» (Normally I like to tip twice that when I’m not being tortured)
I went straight home to my «overpriced» house and had to hop in the tub to remove the excessive oil that was left on my feet.
STEER CLEAR of this place!

Quality and customer service were ok. I definitely don’t think I’ll go back. There are too many other places I can walk out with better looking nails for the same $$.
First, my nails are too short and crooked. I shouldn’t have to ask for them to be fixed because they shouldn’t never leave a ‘finished’ nail that way.
Second, I went in with colors in mind and she kept trying to talk me out of them. She told me, «Oh, you want the pink and white». But no, I really didn’t.
Third, she asked if I wanted my brows waxed. After I responded «No thank you» she said «Oh, you like your brows square?»
No, I like an arch but I like to have them threaded, which I explained. Not her business & rude. She could be nice once you get to know her but my first impression was off putting.
Finally, after being put at the nail dryer they forgot about me. Which would have been fine but I hadn’t paid. When I finally got annoyed enough to leave the dryers they started telling me bye. I could have definitely left without paying but I like good Karma and hate thieves so I let them know I still needed to give them $$. If you’re in a pinch, this place will do. If you have the time I think you’ll have a better overall experience somewhere else.
