Luxe Nails & Spa

I didn’t have an appointment for my daughter but called ahead and they said they could take us whenever as it wasn’t a busy Tuesday. They have two chairs for kids and my 4 year old really wanted to sit in the pink chair that looked like hello kitty. It was her first time at the nail salon so she was excited and scared a little, but Linda was very friendly and made her feel comfortable. She got little flowers on her ring fingers and big toes so she was over the moon when we left. It was very fast and for $ 20 it was the best afternoon experience for both of us. I have gone here to get my nails done previously but the highlight of this review was how happy they made my daughter and me.

This was my first time to hand a mani pedi here. I would say overall, it was fine. Everyone was polite and attentive. I came after work before a big crowd. But once multiple clients came in, I could tell they were rushing to finish me up. My pedicure was great but my manicure was really rushed– nails not fully filed and cleaned. I also realized when I washed my hands when I got home that my technician actually cut the side of my finger.

Luxe is clean, very fairly priced, and has a great polish selection from a variety of the nicer brands (Butter, Zoya, Marc Jacobs, etc). They’ve always done a great job and are super friendly. The wait is never too long, and there’s plenty of parking in the area. I’ve recommended this salon to many people, and they love it :)

Similar to many salons… but I’ll go back because the chemical odor wasn’t overwhelming and I didn’t have to listen to constant Vietnamese talk. NO, I“m not racist, but it’s not a pretty language, and call me paranoid, but I believe when these cosmetologists speak in a foreign tongue, they are talking about their clients, and sometimes giggling. Me no like. I have only been there once; I hope I still like the place when I go back.

I’ve been to luxe several times since my first visit and I have to say that I’ve been really happy with my nails. I’m not sure what happened that first time but every time after my nails were the length and shape I asked for. The nail polish was very neat and my nails lasted for weeks. Even if I did brake my nail they would fix it at no charge. Ladies working there are really sweet and make you feel welcomed.

Bad bad bad service ever. I be in USA for 4 Yrs and I do my nail every 2 weeks all over place when I travel. This place is worth place I ever have .
They invite u sit down there and wait 90 minute doing nothing .
I will prefer they tell me «we are busy «instead of let me sit there.
I end up tell thems I want to leave.
No nail done and my time is sit there almost 2 hrs
Bad bad bad customer service!
Don’t go!

I didn’t have any serious gripes with this salon, they did a good job taking off my old shellac manicure and shaping and applying a new shellac color. I still did some touch up nail filing on my own when I got home. The ladies inside were friendly and didn’t pressure me too much to keep a convo going (I don’t know if I’m the only one but I prefer to just stare at the TV when I get a manicure).
The location is in a ‘meh’ spot, overall it’s just nothing better or worse than any other average salon. If they were open later hours I would consider going back after work.

Love the ladies at Luxe. The pedicures are great, and the next gen manicures are even better.

LOVE this place! I have been going to Luxe nail spa for over two years. The employees are all very nice, accommodating, and experts at what they do. I have yet to have a bad experience here and would recommend it to all my friends in the Austin area.
My nails always look fabulous when I leave here. I always get shellac on my nails and it always lasts at least two weeks. The cost of a shellac manicure is $ 29 which is super reasonable.

Nice nail salon. $ 25 for a «classic pedicure «I called while I was in the area and they said I could come in for a pedicure without and appointment. When I arrived I had no wait but I wasn’t the only one there either. They had a nice selection of colors and my nail technician did a good job. I was offered water about 15 min after entering, a little later than I had hoped after it being so hot outside but I appreciated that they asked. Overall the staff was friendly and I will probably return. My reason for 4 stars is simply because my toe nail polish has chipped with hardly 24 hours of usage.

My first time here ⁷⁄₁₈ and the paint is already chipping. I chose this nail salon because it was between work and home and they got me in a chair within 10 mins as a walk-​up (probably the only plus). I simply would not pay more than $ 15 for the «Luxe» Pedi I received here, that ended up being $ 40 with a $ 5 tip (I normally tip more, but didn’t feel like this particular nail tech earned it). Her file job was careless and she didn’t ask about my preferred nail length. The massage was weak and quick, she didn’t cover my feet entirely with the paraffin wax, and I’m pretty sure she didn’t put on a clear top coat.
What they did do was confirm that my regular nail gals (KB Nails in Bee Caves) are the best I’ve found in Austin so far.
Maybe Luxe is as great as most of the reviews and I just got a bad tech that day. Oh well, bad enough that I won’t be back.

This place is awesome!!! I got my very first shellac manicure from them yesterday and I am SUPER pleased!!! The price for shellac is $ 29– which is insanely reasonable, and my manicure looks beautiful!!! I am so happy. :-)
The only reason I subtracted one star is because the details in the polish around the nail beds is a little bit sloppy and careless. The tech was on the phone for a bit of a time, and after that point I think the detail became careless and sloppy. But still, for $ 30 it’s nothing that I would complain about to them, necessarily. From a normal distance my nails still look so gorgeous and beautiful and I am definitely happy with them. I will FOR SURE be back. A lot. :-)

Sandy, the owner’s Mom was so very nice and welcoming! She did my shellac, and did a fantastic job!!! I WILL be back each time I visit Austin bi-​annually.
The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because, although clean and neat, luxury environment it isn’t. But, it is a great place to get nails and feet done at a very reasonable price.

Really like this place a LOT. TONS of color options… like toooo many! Seriously! Lots of Shellac options, gel, etc. Prices are spot on, parking is easy, and the staff is super friendly.
I’ve seen ladies come in with their little girls, and the staff is always happy to accommodate a ‘kids pedi’ which is really cute! (think panda chair with foot bath). Staff is right amount of chatty in my opinion. No Angelah Johnson ‘why you no get no french manicure’ stuff going on. They have all the prices printed on a laminated flyer which they hand you so you can pick the type of pedi you’d like, and it clearly states the what the services are. Very helpful as sometimes I feel they just quote me a random price for a ‘special’ pedi.
They sometimes offer a beverage, sometimes they forget. It’s not a big deal to me. I’ll ask if I’m thirsty!
Enjoy!

This has become my go-​to pedicure place, thanks to the fabulous Alexandra S! The color and brand selection is wonderful, including selections from the more expensive polish lines like Julep, Butter, and Dior… for no additional cost! Every pedi I’ve had here has stayed in good shape for longer than should be expected. The people that work there are incredibly friendly and don’t really try to pressure you into things that you don’t specifically ask for. If you go the mani/​pedi route, they typically try to provide these services simultaneously, so you’re not in the place forever.
Pricing is reasonable and you get a variety of different options at different price points. I typically go with the «Luxe» pedicure which offers one of four different skin treatment choices. The massage chairs are comfy and have a sandbag around the hips, which is weird, I always turn that part off. There are also two tiny chairs for kids!
Unfortunately, the only beverages offered are soft drinks and water, but it is possible/​allowed to stop by the liquor store a couple shops down and grab a tasty adult beverage to bring to your spa experience.

Thanks fellow Unilocal Reviewers – I went based on your positive comments, and really enjoyed it!
Atmosphere: They have the massage chairs, but other than that, the place is really basic. Don’t come here for the atmosphere. BUT…
1. The service was very friendly.
2. The prices are great.
3. I didn’t feel rushed at all through my shellac manicure, and those getting pedicures didn’t appear to be rushed, either.
I enjoyed my time here, and look forward to trying their pedicures.

Decided to visit because of the reviews, it’s worth it! I got artificial nails. The workers were friendly, the lady that did my nails made conversations happen.
Various colors to choose from!

My 7 year old is pretty social and tried to start a conversation with her manicurist but she was ignored. She tried the whole time. She got the kids mani/​pedi that included 4 designs for $ 20. She asked for hearts but ended up getting flowers. She said they were pretty but sighed with disappointment, she knew she was being ignored and ended up asking to watch Netflix instead. I picked this place because the reviews said the customer service was great. On behalf of my daughter, she rated it with 3 stars. Lowest she has ever given. Again she is super social and easy to please so this is saying a lot. She loved the chairs and the variety of colors.

I love love love love love their polish selection! So many colors that it’s sometimes hard for me to choose! There’s a ton of wonderful designer shades that I’d be hesitant to buy myself unless I absolutely loved the shade. (I’ve gone out and bought a couple Butter ones after trying them out here first, though!)
That being said, after a couple times of slapdash work, I can only give them three stars. I’m so sad. This was my back-​up for when Passion was full or when I didn’t have a shade of my own that I really wanted to wear for a while. Probably not anymore.
This is your average nail salon, so there can be a language barrier, depending on who’s doing your nails. So, when you get a streaky, thin, or uneven nail, it can be pretty tough to say exactly what the issue is in a way that’s easily understood.
Thing is, I shouldn’t need to explain «you accidentally over-​corrected here and took polish off the nail» or «this nail has a thin streak on this side.» I hate micromanaging a pedicure as much as I hate paying for meh work. I shouldn’t need to point these things out – they should be done right the first time.
The last couple times, I feel like they’ve been rushing through the work itself. They weren’t even busy last time, and I still had to ask for a lot of re-​dos on my toenails. I don’t think the last person that did my pedicure here did a great job with the massage, either, which is pretty much half the reason to get a pedicure in the first place.
I really, really, really wanted to like this nail salon. The ambiance is nothing to write home about, but it’s clean and the polish selection is fantastic. If you want meticulous work done, though, just wait for an opening at Passion.

Went for my very first mani/​pedi appointment this morning. I arrived before they opened and sat outside for a short while. When the first employee arrived to unlock the door and open up, she greeted me really warmly. To be polite, I continued to wait outside while she set up and didn’t go in until the 9:30 open time. She told me I could have come in sooner, which I thought was very nice of her, especially since I arrived before business hours had started.
They have a ton of really nice polish to choose from, and so my friend who I had invited to join me & I took quite a long time to pick out the perfect polishes for us. I got seated in my chair quite comfortably, and as we were about to get started, my nail tech who introduced herself to me (Kathy) noticed that my choice of color for my toes was not a solid color, but a sparkle, and so helped me find a color almost exactly the same that would work well.
Off to a great start, I settled in for my «Luxe» pedicure and basic manicure.
What a relaxing wonderful experience for my morning. I left the massage part of the chair turned off after reading several other reviewers comments here about how they are a bit aggressive. I just don’t find them very comfortable. The foot bath however, was quite relaxing. Kathy made sure it was the perfect temperature for me. She did a fantastic job with the pedicure, was very gentle with all her tools and took a lot of time with the scrub, leg mask, hot towels, paraffin wax dip etc. so it truly felt like a spa treatment. As my legs were soaking up the magic, she did my nails, then switched back to my feet for the polish.
The only reason I have one less star here is because when it comes to painting my nails, I am hard to please in that I have very high expectations. I want my polish on evenly so that the whole nail is coated well, with no awkward gaps on the sides or back by the cuticle. While Kathy did a great job cleaning the edges, my nails are not evenly coated and there are some obvious gaps in the polish on a couple of the toes. Luckily, I am so in love with the color I chose for my toes that I will probably buy some so I can always touch it up myself, but if it had just been even upon leaving there, this would be a five star review.
Still, I really like this place and will definitely return again. You can’t beat the prices for what you are getting (my mani/​pedi became a combo pack and was discounted that way) and they are so friendly, clean and professional.
Let me also add that my friend who came along enjoyed her manicure, and her paint job came out great. Her nails were done by Anna who was very meticulous about it. I know everyone paints differently, so it may just take a while for me to find a tech there who does the best job for me. Still, even if I have Kathy again, I will just ask her to be mindful of the polish edges, because she gives a really great pedicure and manicure.
