Ann’s Nails Salon

Just noticed they didn’t even bother to cut my toenails as part of my pedicure! I can’t jog with long toenails. $ 45 bucks and it’s all gone to hell because I have to cut my toenails AFTER the polish. Not professional, not going back.

This place is great! Not only was the staff friendly, they were also talented at what they do. First time going on Christmas Eve and they gave out cute gift bags with a calendar and lavender lotion!

I have heard good things about this place from a few friends and decided to stop by. I had a pedicure done by Cong, who was so funny and attentive. I had the green tea scrub as well as a deluxe wax treatment as well as a foot masque. So worth it! Throughout my visit Cong asked me periodically how I was doing and ensured my customer satisfaction. His massages were also so good!!! This establishment gets a 5 out of 5 stars from me just because of Cong!!!

This location on Broadway was really nice. Very clean, quiet atmosphere, large selection of polishes and magazines.
Cong did my pedicure and almost put me to sleep. Richard, the manager, offers you something to drink and then leaves you alone. Nothing looked unsanitary or broken and no «nail salon odor» permeated throughout the salon.
I’m making this place my go-​to until further notice.

This nail salon is tops for us! We were visiting SAT some time back and we needed to find a nail shop. the ones that I used to use were to far from where we were staying. The staff were very friendly, professional and did a magnificent job. So now, when we visit we will be returning no matter how out of the way it may be.

My friend and I went here for the first time the other day and absolutely loved it. The owner Richard is extremely nice and accommodating. We both got the mani — pedi combo ($ 40) and were not disappointed. This is now my «place» to get nails done in San Antonio.

Love this place! Richard the manager is so friendly and always offers a drink when you walk through the doors (sodas and wine included!).
The service is great, not too long and not too short. Prices are great as well!
Come here for your service and support a great, friendly staff and quality run business.
As a side note, I recommend AGAINST going to the Ann’s Salon in the Quarry. They try to hustle you out as quick as you walked in, and for some reason it’s always unnecessarily crowded.

I came here on a whim last month and I’m so glad I did! I had Vivien, and did a great job. I got a pedicure (the basic) and a shellac color change and it was only $ 50.
Serve wine and beverages, and it’s a really nice atmosphere! I’m here again and think I have finally found my new nail place!

After wearing out my welcome at Lynn’s Nails (I never carry cash and they don’t have a place to write in a tip on the credit card slips – frustrating!), I came to Ann’s Nails because of its convenient location on my way back from work, when some TLC and a good chair massage is often needed the most.
The salon is a little on the cramped side, particularly in the pedicure area. However, the owner, Richard, greets every customer right away and that’s a major plus. In the six times I’ve gone back, I’ve never had that standing-​in-​the-​doorway-​while-​all-​eight-​nail-​techs-​stare-​at-​me-​in-​disbelief feeling that comes with many nail salons (you know what I’m talking about).
The price is on par with every other salon in the area– $ 30ish for the basic spa pedicure, though they never hesitate to inquire whether I’d like to upgrade to the sea salt, fancy lotion, etc. etc. special. I never do, but it’s nice that they ask. Maybe someday.
Out of the four different techs at Ann’s who have handled my toes, Amy is the best. She will beat the crap out of your feet during the massage, but it feels/​hurts so good that you’ll start crying when she stops. She does a great job shaping and painting. The best part about the experience is her laugh, which erupts often. I never really understand what’s so funny, but she’s so jolly that it just doesn’t matter.
Overall, Ann’s is a great nail salon.

I thought I would try a new nail place close to home. I love the area this place is located in. When my daughter and I arrived without a appointment; they allowed us to walk in and we signed our names on the sheet. The owner was frazzled; running around everywhere and making phone calls. He was in a rush and would talk very fast explaining prices and services. There’s already a communication barrier; so it was kinda hard to understand. We didn’t wait very long, i liked that. The lady who did my nails was Amy. She told me not to look at her doing my nails; She suggested I watch a informercial on the tv that was almost behind me. She did do a very good job with the manicure and shellac painting. The thing I was upset about is the manager offers every single person that walked in a drink, I was offered nothing. I asked Amy for a drink three times. As soon I was asking; a long term client of hers walked in. She got excited and put down everything she was doing to help her. It’s a good thing she was finishing up, but I asked her agin for a drink and she said She has to help her client first. So they left to the back. The owner ended up finishing my manicure and massage.
So overall they were rude to me and rushed me, but the manicure was good.
I will not b going back.

I tried a couple other nail salons before I found Ann’s. I have gone back repeatedly since. The price is about the same as other salons but the service sets them apart. The customer service provided by Richard the owner and his staff is amazing. They always fit me in as I am always a walk in. I once showed up at 530pm on Sunday (definite perk that they are open on Sundays) and felt bad to make them stay open late for me, so I asked for a quick pedi. Richard and the nail tech, Amy stayed there until after 7pm for me so that I could get a gel mani and full pedicure. That, in my opinion is going above and beyond. I highly recommend this place.

I stopped in for shellac removal and a fill during my lunch break on a weekday. There were 4 other clients in the shop, and after expressing to the man that greeted me at the door (I found out later that was Richard, the owner), the services I wanted, he looked around nervously, saying, «it will take a while. We have appointments.» I offered to grab lunch and come back later, but he pooh-​poohed that idea and asked me to sit at a station. The woman began removing my shellac, using a very rough attachment on her tool, and Tore Up my cuticles. We’re talking, bleeding, stinging messes. After she was done, she asked me to move to another station so that she could take care of the appointments that had walked in and were getting settled in their pedicure chairs. I sat in that chair for 40 minutes, y’all. Not one person spoke to me to let me know how much longer I would be sitting, so at minute 40, I finally decided I need to get back to work. As I stood, Richard pointed to a woman bent over some lady’s feet at a pedicure chair and said, «But she’s almost done.» I offered to pay for whatever it was she did to remove the shellac and beat up my cuticles, and was on my way. Bottom line, if they’d said they were booked and that I needed to come back later, I would have. They’d still have gotten my money. I’m glad they have such a robust client base, because they obviously don’t need my business.

Here’s the thing… nail polish is nail polish. but the service… that’s what makes me come back. From the very beginning, Richard, the owner, has been super nice. The other staff also. They give you a glass of wine or soda as soon as you arrive. Here’s the thing, the second time I came back, they all remembered my name and they remembered most of the stuff I told them about myself. And they remembered what colors I liked. How can it get any better than that, It’s like going to «Cheers» where everybody knows your name!
During the holiday season, they gave me and my friends a gift bag with lotion and a calender. How nice is that?
And today, it was my friend’s birthday, and when i called to make an appt for us, I told Richard, the owner. and I kid you not, he bought her an ice cream cake for her birthday from Cold Stone Creamery! He wouldn’t even let me pay half for it, he said, we are all friends. :) I mean, how can I not say that they are as good as it gets… I think they do a pretty good job on the pedicures and they are good about keeping things sanitary… And they are super friendly and nice. I definitely recommend people to go here, especially those who like to be «regulars» and treated like family cus you are a «regular»!
About Bess M.‘s comment about paying CASH for tips, I don’t think this is true at all. I’ve had many different techs, including the owner work with me, and they have never said that before, and I’ve always paid with my CC. And trust me, I have no boundaries, so we usually talk about everything… :)
PS There are tons of Ann’s nails, but they told me they are all separately owned. The pictures for this Ann’s is not the right one. This Ann’s is next to the Bank of America on Broadway, right after broadway and kennedy. It is fairly small, but they have 6 spa pedicure chairs and about 5 manicure stations. It’s better if you call to make an appt, but for the majority of the time, I walk in, and have never had a problem getting seen right away.

I was a little bit underwhelmed by the service I received here but at the same time happily surprised by how nice the people working were.
The salon is located off Broadway in Alamo Heights in the back of the strip mall behind So Luna. It’s a small space. Three manicure tables and 4 pedicure chairs. It’s sort of non-​descript in décor. Not much on the wall and very little personality. But the people working there more than make up for it. They’re friendly, talkative, funny and personable. Really great.
But the bottom line is no matter how nice the people were, I was there to have a service which I paid for and frankly the service was blah. My nails didn’t look great after and I even went to another salon I trust for a polish change the next day.
So as nice as they are here I just can’t recommend them very highly bc the service was not great.

good service from talented people but take CASH for tips because the owner keeps them if you use your cc! the good techs probably wont stay. the owner and wife provide mediocre service
