Bratton Nails

This is my neighborhood nail salon and I feel fortunate to have such a nice establishment just a few blocks from home. They are always friendly and accommodating, and fast! I always get the same thing, a mani/​pedi with a French. It makes no difference which technician does the work, my nails always look great. The French manicure painting is always the same (white part is same thickness and curve), this consistency is a huge plus for me. Reasonable prices, friendly techs, clean shop, consistently well done manicures & quality products; what more could a girl want?

I have always had a good experience at this salon. I get my pedicures here on a regular basis and they always do a good job. I have also had my eyebrows waxed here and had a pleasant experience with that as well. I would recommend this to my friends.

Great nail salon I’ve been there many times and have never been disappointed, the ladies there are very friendly and they always do a great job on my acrylic nails! Great price also

Unfortunately, the lady didn’t seem to know what she was doing when I asked for almond-​shaped nails. I showed her a picture online and she acted like she could do it. She was very nice, patient, and polite most of the time, but when I showed her at the end of her shaping how most of the nails were different lengths and if she could at least file them to match the opposite hand, she got a little defensive and said they were going to look different since one of my hands is bigger than the other! And that was because earlier she admitted she accidentally cut the middle nail too short. Because she spent a lot of time filing, I let it go after she tried to fix it but I think the most professional thing to do would be to offer to fix it or at least give a discount. Very nice ladies but I don’t think I’ll be going back, at least not for almond-​shaped nails.

I’ve been to this place about 10 times and have had a good experience every time. It’s very clean, the technicians are friendly and my toes always look great. What more could you ask for? I’ve been to probably about 15 different nail places in my life and this one ranks right up there.

I gave this place a try despite the few negative reviews. Unfortunately the reviews we true. Walked in for a pedicure nothing hard about it. My tub was cold. The Décor was old school and not in a good way. I sat in the chair for almost 10 minutes and want offered the control to work my chair. Yes the place is close to my home but in the future I’ll take the extra time to go to my normal nail place.

I’ve been here about five or six times before leaving a review, because none of my reviews would have been very gracious; since the ladies that work here are SO nice, I just kept wanting to give them chance after chance!!!
But no more.
Today I walked in with my father (my mother and I made him realize years ago what good some pampering can do!) and there was only one other customer in the salon. Here are the less than pleasant things we had to deal with while getting our nails done here:
— Cold tub water!
— Dad had to wait 30 minutes in the chair next to me before anyone could help him.
— Overscrubbing and over filing of my feet – OW!
–Language barrier! I told her THREE times to NOT remove the polish on my toes, I only needed ONE nail with a split fixed. She removes the polish on all of them. *facepalm* Also, I’m tired of them being frustrated with ME when I can’t understand their thick accent behind a mask. Like that’s my fault?
–STRONG chemical smell permeating the entire salon.
–Cheap ass, tacky, zero effort décor.
— The material on the chairs stripped, peeling, and in disrepair.
— One of the owners young kids practically climbing on my lap, pushing my chair, and walking into the bathroom when I’m in it. Some people are kid people, I am not. Sorry! THIS IS A BUSINESS, not a romper room – keep your kids on a leash.
— Stylist took FOREVER on my acrylics and I wish I could say that it was because she did a good job. It wasn’t. Most of my nails are tilted, unevenly positioned, or have a drastically uneven surface. The corners of my acrylics are so sharp I could cut through motherf*ckers like wolverine.
— THE DRILLS. God, if I had a dollar for every time they nicked my skin with that stupid drill bit, I would have a free manicure. Also, she wore my already thin nail down so far two nails have nearly exposed nail beds. 8 hours later they are STILL sore!
–The entire treatment on my hands was VERY rough. No gentleness at all.
Unfortunately, I’ve experienced most of these things every time I’ve gone there. But this was by far the worst visit yet, so now I HAVE to say something. Yes, my toes are beautiful, but I was so unhappy with having to tell them over and over to be gentle that the point is moot. I know they aren’t mind readers, but if I TELL you several times to take it easy, then back off!
Jeez.
Sorry ladies, prices are cheap here for a reason.

I go to this nail salon because it’s super close and convenient. I can almost always get an appointment when I call ahead (they take walk-​ins too). Is it the best nail salon? No. Is it one of the friendliest nail salons? Yes. My pedi chips within days every time which is unfortunate & I have to fix it. But they’re close and convenient and I will still recommend them. I have difficult nails so I know not everyone will have the chipping issues I have.
Positives — convenient, close, accommodating, friendly, professional.

Will not return! I decided to try this nail salon because of the reviews and the fact that its very close to my apartment. At first everything went great but then it took a turn for the worst. While the lady was doing my fill she cut/​burned me 5 different times. I’m a television host which means it’s imperative for my nails to be perfect. They are far from perfect. Cuts on my cuticles and uneven nails! I also got a pedicure which came out alright but it took forever and I have had better. Watch out for this place.

I love this place! Not only is it within walking distance to my house and has a mexican restaurant next door, to get margaritas at when I’m done with my pampering, but it’s one of the best nail salons that I have been to in Austin. I have never had a mani or pedi there that I haven’t loved. I also get my brows waxed there regularly, and they always come out looking perfect! I get several compliments on how nice my eyebrows are :)
The girls there are very very sweet and do a great job! When ever my Mom or sister are in town I always bring them there for some «girl time».
I highly recommend it!

I recently moved to this neighborhood and was looking for a nearby nail salon. I found this place and have been going for weeks now. They do a really good job and have lots of regulars always in there. They have been there since ’93, I believe and are very professional. My nails look great and last a long time.

The only place I’ll go to get my manicures and pedicures! People compliment me on my nails all the time. Whether solar, or a regular manicure, they do a phenomenal job. I plan on utilizing their services for my wedding.
