Grand Nail Spa

I did enjoy my pedicure here although it wasn’t the best experience. I had an appointment with a friend at 6 we arrived 10 minutes early. As we waited choosing our colors, I smelled the strong smell of nail polish. My friend looked down and she had blue nail polish all over her sandals. I quickly grabbed paper towels but sadly the nail polishes ruined her shoes. Being the chill laid back gal that she is, she was very calm and said «whatever it’s just shoes and they were only 5 dollars» For those of you reading I was spared and didn’t step into the messy trap. We sat waiting already 15 minutes over our scheduled appointment time. Now I’ll add I haven’t gotten my nails done in some time. So I really don’t know if waiting after a scheduled appointment is in the norm. Finally get to out luxurious spa chairs we sat and dipped out feet in the blue water. The water being a perfect temperature which my gal pal might say «my feet are in heaven» My girl Kelly did a great job cutting and tickling my feet with the scrubber she had a sense of humor which I enjoyed! My friend didn’t seem to enjoy her experience since her pedicure took too long and she was left alone while I got my feet dried. All in all not bad!

Worst nail salon experience ever! I was in desperate need of a pedicure in between meetings up north and went in there based on positive Unilocal reviews and location. The woman assigned to do my service didn’t know English so I relied on the employee in next station to relay messages. I had a French pedicure on as a polish prior and told her to take note of it because I wanted that style/​arch. She completely messed up and placed a terrible pink polish over it that clearly was dried out and didn’t apply smoothly/​was clumpy. Use a NEW product! By that point I was over it/​frustrated/​and late to next meeting.
I expressed my dissatisfaction at check out to management/​owner and instead of taking note of feedback she lashed out and talked to me in an aggressive manner (everyone in salon was staring, extremely embarrassing) and I asked for her name and she refused to share. Never have been through this, I just wanted to finalize payment and never go back. BEWARE.
BTW: I actually had to schedule another pedicure appt at my usual location that same day. It was that bad.

I loved this place and was not only a client since they day they opened but continued to be a patron up until this year.
They have recently changed owners and it is nowhere near the same quality it was when Anita and crew were still there. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t horrible (hence the 3 stars) but it has caused me to explore different salons in the area considering the prices.

Let me start by saying, if the language barrier is a huge inconvenience for you then you NEED to see Selena. She speaks fluent english with no accent (she’s from Oklahoma after all), is great at what she does, and is too cute and funny! She did my first fill there and I couldn’t be happier. I even referred my mom to her and we found out that my sister is actually Selena’s esthetician! Small World! When I came back for my next fill, Selena was on vacation so I saw Annie! She was professional, gentle, and kind! She let me relax and did my nails PERFECTLY. I am so happy to FINALLY call this place my nail home! It is crazy clean and doesn’t need gaudy gimmicks like peacocks.

I am new to Texas and was preparing for vacation so I stopped by this place for a full acrylic set and a basic pedi. I chose place simply because of location convenience but was very disappointed with the service. To begin I called a few hours ahead of time to schedule an appointment In order to avoid a long wait — when I arrived they did remember I called but did not have anyone readily available, they had me sit in a pedicure chair soaking my feet and by the time the woman came to me to start my pedicure the water was no longer warm. Then I she completed my pedicure and put me at drying station and I was sitting there for about 20 minutes when I reminded the woman that spoke English that I also needed a full set and have been waiting 20 minutes. It took them about another 15 minutes for someone to become ready as they had already started doing nails for walk ins. So apparently an appointment does not matter at this place. Then I got my nails done and requested a flower design which was done very poorly, my 5 year old could’ve done it. All together I paid $ 75 for a BASIC pedi and acrylics set for sitting 3 hours and receiving poor service. The next day I flew out to my vacation and to really put the bow on top of this, my nail broke within 3 days. Then another nail broke on the 5^th day. I will never go to this place again and would not recommend anyone to waste their time or their money

Ann gives an amazing pedicure! I was very happy with it but their massage chairs aren’t very good.

This place is amazing. If interested in a pedicure I highly recommend the peppermint pedicure. I found this place due to my regular nail salon was closed on Labor Day. The staff are very friendly and the services offered are a direct reflection of excellent customer service. I have yet to return to my precious nail salon nor have plans to take my service else where. I highly recommend this place. Selena always does a beyond excellent Job!

Everything I want in a quick nail salon experience. My manicurist worked wonders on my nails which I had made a mess of. They were quite short and damaged after wearing gel nails for over a year straight. She cleaned up my awful cuticles and did a spotless polish job.
They do get really close to the living cuticle but no cuts. I like them that clean, but others prefer not to have the cuticle trimmed. They will honor your wishes either way. They do have wine and snacks, but I will be coming back for the work. Very moderately priced for such good work.

Ask for Selena, she’s my favorite!!! She’s super sweet and takes her time, and always makes sure you love your nails.

Upon arrival, they seemed busy, but we got in super fast! Andy took my daughter and my mom had Cindy (?). They were satisfied with them. My sis and I… Um… Heck nah! Silence & stares… Really?!! I dipped my feet in the water… Hella cold! Really? So I mentioned it, but nothing was adjusted. STRIKE 1! Satan then had the nerve to start talking to the other devil (evil twin) like I was not even there. I swear it was Genghis Khan in drag, the way she waged a war against my toes! Hell, I didn’t even know we were fighting! Dang Minions! My sis & I agreed that we should’ve waited for Andy & Cindy. Smh
Anyway, they tried it! Let’s just say that we will see Andy and Cindy only –if we go back.
I gave them a 3 because their receptionist and 2 techs were friendly to us all.

Came here for the first time today, and I already know I’ve found my new nail salon! ! Lee did an amazing job with my solar set and pedicure!
This shop was very sanitary as well. There was a great selection of nail polishes too.
Beverages (alcoholic and non) were offered, along with snacks.
Prices were pretty average.

I’ve continued to go back to this place for my mani/​pedi needs and receive consistently good service.
Wanted to share something I observed today … a homeless man stopped in to ask for some money. The owner rushed to get him a cold water and a soda and also paid for his meal next door. He didn’t make a big deal out of it – if I wasn’t paying close attention, I wouldn’t have known it had happened. I just thought it was a graceful way to treat a human being, and it speaks to his character and how he runs his business.
Also, to update: They have recovered their pedicure chairs! They are no longer shabby looking!

I do a better pedicure on my own feet. It literally looks like a 5 year old painted my nails. The lady didn’t use any pressure on exfoliating my feet. A 40 minute pedicure took over an hour and forty five minutes, which usually isn’t a problem, but thats a little ridiculous. A waste of $ 40 and 2 hours of my life.

Unexpected treat in my neighborhood! When an out of town friend wanted a pedicure, and I realized it had been WAY too long since I had one, I started looking for local options. The place I usually went had me spending an arm and a leg for a pedicure, but the experience was always great. The prices here were just about half of the other shop. You can get a simple mani polish change for like 1 bucks, and the pedicures start in the high 20’s. For 35 I got the peppermint pedicure– and I’m not kidding, they scrubbed us with all sorts of lotions and potions for well over an hour (even though they said it would be 40 mins.) They offer you a drink (wine or a wine cooler) and have a little snack table. My actual paint job was fantastic. Ill be here again.

This was one of the best pedicures I have ever had! I got the peppermint pedicure, which consisted of several scrubs and oils and lotions and hot stones– all with massages. The service was not rushed and was given a lot of effort. I left feeling refreshed, pampered and really pleased. I’m super impressed with this place! The polish looks excellent. The price was great. The place was clean and I was offered my choice of complimentary beverages. A must try!

The BEST nail place I have been in the North Austin area. The staff was extremely nice and took their time. I love the complimentary snacks and beverages. Great shellac manicure and I can’t wait to come back for a pedicure.

I’ve tried to give this place a few tries. Their customer service sucks. They have nobody that can speak english well enough to explain their different pedicures and then roll their eyes when asked. I stopped going to them for a while because of their horrible service but they are close to home so I went back to other times… no.more.
The chairs are tired and worn and they have mediocre technicians that do not give proper pedicures. I got injured the time before by one lady digging into the side of my toe and shaped my nails horribly. Gave them a final chance and my pedicure was horrible again. No time taken to shape my nails, callous removal and my nails chipped the next day and look like crap. Couldn’t even say anything to the nail tech since she doesn’t understand a word I’d say. Time to find somewhere else

The BEST nail place that I have ever experienced in my life. AMAZING job.
Extremely clean. Very polite. Very very clean.
Worth to give a try.
Andrew and Anita you guys ROCK!!!

I didn’t consider myself terribly picky about nail salons before. The whole idea of paying someone to scrub my feet and paint my toenails was a novelty. I’d never even gone to one of these salons until about five years ago when I moved to a place where I could wear sandals eight months out of the year.
This place has raised my standards pretty high. I’ve never had to wait long for a chair (though I usually come in on weekdays). The shop is clean and the tools come in wrap from an autoclave. The people are really nice. I love the charismatic manager guy. And I’ve met the owner, who is very polite and professional.
This is a case where those Unilocal check in specials as a marketing tool work. A few years ago they had a free paraffin treatment with a Unilocal check in. Thought I’d give it a try. I have gotten those treatments ever since.
By a wax treatment they don’t mean hair removal but a lovely warming soothing hand and foot soak in warm scented soft wax. It’s incredibly relaxing and a great treatment for my hands and feet when they’re sore and have very dry skin. Perfect treatments for the day after Christmas and thanksgiving when my feet and legs are sore from standing in the kitchen and my hands are dry from the cold.
They might as well call what I get the «Noelle Special» — clear shellac gel manicure, full pedicure, with paraffin for both hands and feet. A wonderful indulgence.

For whatever reason, it is hard to find a nail salon that is affordable and offers good quality work. I finally found what I was looking for at Grand Nail Spa. I’ve been here a few times and just can’t imagine going anywhere else. They offer snacks and beverages (including wine). I don’t think they offer iPads for guests to use anymore but I have a smartphone so its fine.
I mostly just get pedis here although I did get a mani once which didn’t end well because I am just too rough on my nails. Anyways. My toes always look fantastic.
I always get the peppermint pedicure (My favorite tech is Thi). It is about a 2 hour experience and so relaxing as well as inexpensive ($ 35 or $ 40 I think). There is a leg massage and hot stones involved. It is fantastic. Not to mention the massage chair you’re sitting in. I’ve definitely seen some ladies fall asleep. On the flip side, if people could NOT be on the phone the entire time during their pedi that would be fantastic. It ruins the experience for others and honestly I just don’t want to hear your conversation. I am hear to relax and de-​stress.
It does get busy at this location. If I think I may be going at a busy time then I call ahead for an appt which cuts down on wait time. Oh I should probably make my next appt. :-)
