Century Nails

Owner said they just bought the place two weeks ago. Very nice and welcoming. Had a pedicure and it turned out great. He also did a great job on the leg massage. I will be back!

Century Nails is by far the best nail place I’ve ever been to. The owners are very friendly and very great at what they do. They have great prices and a clean environment. I’ve been to a million and one nail places all over and like I said this is by far the best nail place ever!!!

So I remember going to this exact Century Nails to get my nails done before I ever even graduated high school… almost a decade ago. I have always gone to this same establishment when I’m ‘home’ and need something done to my nails.
That being said, apparently it’s been a loooong while since I’ve been home and wanted my nails done.
This place used to be hopping no matter what time of day. They had really great manicurists and pedicurists and they stood out above the rest of the nearby shops on the length of time the color lasted before getting chipped and how long the acrylic stayed on my fingers.
I was so disappointed going back in there the other day. A husband and wife who now own the joint are not anyone that I remember from ‘back in the day’.
They tag teamed my hands and feet and I was super impressed with how quick they were and also how friendly. I don’t take that away from them at all.
BUT later that day, my fingernail polish chipped and my toes the day after. The lines for my ‘French tip’ on both fingers and toes were thick and sloppily done. They scrubbed my already fairly soft heels and never smoothed them over so they were left rough.
Overall, prices didn’t match the outcome by any means. I was highly unsatisfied and even though I previously was an avid regular, I’ll never come back here.

My 9 month old niece could have done a better job painting my nails!
I’m so disappointed with how much the guy who did my nails went over and on to my skin with the polish or didn’t cover the whole nail. I very honestly paint my nails better myself. I was getting ready for a friend’s wedding and I thought having someone else do my nails would be relaxing and that they’d do a better job than me. I was so wrong.
I came here because I loved this place 5 or so years ago when I lived in North Austin. They have gone sooooooo down hill. I will not be going back. It took everything I have to not just walk out without paying, as there was nothing I could see to pay for — which is not something I’ve ever contemplated or done. It was that bad.

For natural nail service I would have given it only 1 – 2 stars. They used a coarse nail file and filed on the sides of my nails resulting in rough edges that snagged on my shorts and nails that will be weakened and badly shaped once they start growing out some. Polish for white tips was very thick and the clear coat brush left white streaks on some of my nail beds. One nail chipped within 4 hours and a pinky nail chipped the next day. I gave it 3 stars because I have friends that go here for pedicures and shellac/​gel on their nails and have not had any problems and their nails look nice.

Very very dirty and messy. Which tells me their equipment is probably the same. I’m talking broken pedi station stored upside down and trashed next to me. Also in the station next to me the workers personal food open and laying about. Just nasty. My nails look just ok. Won’t be back.

Wonderful! Upgraded to new pedicure scrub, feet feel great! Next time may just get $ 25.00 pedi. Ver nice people and no loud talking. Vibrating seats really nice.

This place is great!
Why?

I have had solar nails done, lots of colors, affordable
I now get pedicures and manicures with the gel nails…
SO many colors to choose from! Love them all! The gel nails have lasted me anywhere between 2 — 3 weeks even longer on toe nails. I usually have to go back in because my nails have grown out too long… takes forever to chip.
I always get exactly what I ask for and another bonus is that it doesn’t take forever either!
I’ve never left unsatisfied or unhappy, but if anything does… these guys will give you the best customer service.

I love it here! I don’t get my nails done here (because I never paint my nails) but my eyebrows, yes! Dawn does the eyebrows and they come out nice every single time, I go there so much she knows just how I like them! Even when I like to shake it up a bit, and go thicker or thinner, I’m still please every time. She is also very sweet, and friendly!

Ok… If there was an option for zero stars here that is what I would give this place! Whoever has great things to say about this joint… Is either a family member, lying friend or was paid to say what they did. I have spent a large majority of my life working as a Manicurist /​Salon Manager in TWO different states. I thought because this place was right next to my apartment that «convenience» would be of benefit. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! I went in as a walk-​in and asked to have a pedicure done. The place was empty and I was the only person in there. The guy working there (the older guy with balding hair and one single gold hoop in his left ear) did not talk to me at all. That was the first thing I noticed. I tried to talk to him and he had nothing to say in return. No smile or interaction with me AT ALL! He hurried through my pedicure and I was in and out of there within 20 minutes! And that is INCLUDING DRY TIME! I was mortified! When he did the salt scrub he didn’t wash it off of my feet or legs… He wiped it off! Anyone who knows anything about salt should know it seriously dries your skin out. Anytime anyone uses it, it should always be WASHED off. He had a pedicure tub with water sprayer right in front of him. It would have taken him 2 minutes or less to wash my legs and feet. As a result my skin broke out in tiny bumps and was incredibly itchy! Itching that kept up all night long. Not only that but when he painted my toes the paint job was bumpy. I pointed it out and he wouldn’t fix it. He just put some drying oil on my toes and sent me on my way. I do not care if it is close. I would rather drive across town and get my moneys worth instead of going back to this place. I only tried it because of all of the Unilocal reviews praising them… Well, take it from a beauty salon professional… This place is NOT professional and they are NOT in business to help their clients feel pampered and well cared for. I would have NEVER treated my old clients like this. This place should be shut down just for crappy service and bad attitude alone!!! I will NEVER GO BACK and everyone I talk to will be warned to never set foot in that place. They should be ashamed of themselves… and should be ashamed to charge the money they do for half-​butt work.

Hands down, the best service ever! :) Walked in today for a full set acrylic for myself and a manicure (no polish) for a male friend. Employees were a blast to talk to, kept us laughing, and made us feel very at home. Both of us walked out feeling very pleased with our experience and results… and it was actually my male friend who turned to me after we left and insisted that we come back soon, lol. Definitely worth stopping by!

Dawn and Mike were very friendly and professional with their work. They did a wonderful job with my pedicure and manicure, and took their time and was vey gentle and meticulous with my cuticles and nails. My hands’ cuticles are very thick, dry, some cracked… they aren’t in the very condition, and Mike was very gentle and did a good job with cleaning up and making them look pretty again!
Prices are moderate/​average.
Gel manicure: 25
regular pedicure: 23
Total: 48 + tips. What I usually pay for in both TX and CA.
They are usually busy they told me, since now it is only Mike and Dawn there to ensure quality. So, i would recommend to call to make an appointment so you don’t have to wait.

Fairly new to the Pflugerville area and i thought I’d try a new nail place. I called ahead to check the business hours and the gentleman stated 12 – 5 today and all walk-​ins were welcome. I said great and headed over within the hour. I arrived and noticed one person waiting and about 4 ppl already having their hands and/​or feet worked on. When the gentleman looked up to acknowledge me a bit after I’d signed in (literally less than a foot from him) he asked what I needed today. I said that I wanted to get a pedicure only and he responded with: Can you just come back later. And he immediately went right back to what he was doing. I simply said ummmm, no thanks. I’d don’t think I’ve ever been so caught off guard by the lack of customer service as i was by his response and dismissal. It was almost laughable except that it was downright rude. Of course I left and I’ll never go back. I looked up another nail spot nearby and am currently getting my pedi. I’ll be sure to give a review after.

Friendly AND clean. Husband and wife owners.
My friend who has never had a manicure or pedicure and I went here in May before her wedding in Italy. Awesome customer service. My friend was really leery about hygiene and safety. She was quite impressed. The owners are big about wiping down and sanitizing after each customer. That is quite impressive. The tools they use on us were in clean individual packages they keep on hand for each customer.
Keeping their shop clutter free is a big thing for them. I really like that they do not have random supplies stacked out in the open like a lot of these Asian shops. That is a big deterrence for me.
I received a lot of compliments on my well manicured nails from my first visit.
Returned a month later and they not only remembered us but that we has chosen the same colors the first time (she got red on her toes nails and taupe on her finger nails and I did the opposite) and asked if we wanted the same colors this time too. We didn’t but it was impressive that they remembered.
I am pleased that I found a shop that does great work and is clean.

So friendly here!!! They take their time and are ver hospitable.

New FAVORITE nail salon and spa in the area! Fast and quality should be their motto! Thank you Mike! I was in and out in less than half an hour, for a short cut full set! Can’t beat that!

The people there were nice and I love the way my nails turned out. For a pedicure and acrylic nails with a design it was only 55. That’s a pretty good deal.

I tried this place for the first time last weekend, i came for a full set and pedicure, I was seated and they realized they had never seen me before and asked if it was my first time, i told them it was, they made sure i was comfortable and told me to let them know if i had any questions which i did! the tech that was assigned to my pedicure i could tell off the bat that she was new to the salon. After all the pedicures ive had i pretty much know the second they touch my feet lol. I told him that i would take the 3^rd pedicure on the list which was a little pricey but i wanted it done correct, i think he got the hint that i knew she was new. I absolutely hate when i go to a new salon and they give me the person they are training! in no way was i rude or mean to her at all but that just how i feel, if im going to pay for a nice pedicure i want a GOOD pedicure! anyways… he assured me that she would do a good job so i didnt complain. over all she did an ok job, have i had better pedicures in my life? yes The best part of the pedicure was the massage which is usually the most important to me. I rated this salon 4 stars because of two things #1 the lotion they use for the massage is AMAZING its a butter cream and i felt the moisture for 2 days without re applying lotion, and on top of that it was warm! i will go back to this salon for this reason alone! #2 the staff was friendly! sometimes a little to talkative but very nice people.

Great experience. I went for a pedicure and was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the entire staff, the low prices, and the general feel.
Pedicure came with a foot/​leg massage and salt scrub for no extra cost.
Oh, and the woman doing my nails redid one after I had paid and hit my foot on the counter without me asking her to. Very nice.

I’ve been needing a pedicure badly for awhile now and and my friend kept saying that Century Nails was a great deal price wise and the staff is friendly. We went yesterday and my legs felt like jello afterwords! Anyway for a pedicure, in which they also exfoliate your legs included in the basic price, with hand painted stars (for a rock star party this weekend :)) on my toes the grand total $ 25?! Seriously, I’ve gotten pedicures in the past and the base price alone has been $ 35! Century Nails will be my go to place for my monthly pedi.‘s !
