PJ Nails & Spa

David is the best! My nails have never looked so flawless. This place is definitely my go to from now on. Request him!

Love my nails!!! Did an amazing job the second time around. David was my nail tech and was very nice. Will keep coming back back. :)

I’ve tried several places around town — «fancy/​boutique» salons, «Yelpers know best» salons, and «I’m on a budget and this is close by» salons — and PJ is *my place*. They don’t abuse my nails (which is my biggest problem with other experiences — ripping, not clipping, my cuticles, filing like they’ve got a score to settle with my nails, etc.), the staff is friendly, they always open the tools from a sanitized pack, and the prices are very reasonable. I get gel on my natural nails with designs — I highly recommend David and Kristy! I bring in a pic or two of the style I’m looking for and let them go to town. They always send me off looking fab and getting compliments up until my next appointment. I call ahead to make sure David or Kristy have a spot for me and I’ve never had a problem getting in when I would like to.
TL;DR I wouldn’t be a regular nail doer if I hadn’t found PJ.

I Love this nail salon! David always does a incredible job on my nails! He’s consistent and always makes my nails look exactly how I want them.

First I’d like to say I am one of those people who just go to the closest nail salon that I am by when I get the random thought of «hey I wanna go get my nails done right now» I am a right now kind of girl. With that being said, this place is a only a few miles away from my home (less than 5 minutes) so I think I will be making this a regular spot.
I HAVE NOT came in for a pedi or man yet, only eye brow waxing. The lady did so very well and took her time with detailing them perfectly before letting me up. The salon it’s self seemed very clean and had many many chairs and people working which is a huge plus for me! I am not a fan of waiting forever. I will update my review once I have come in for my mani pedi session but until now 4 stars is good, they may be pumped up to a 5 star after I come back.
Parking, they have tons I was not mad about that! For my eyebrows it was only $ 10 which is a good price, especially for a salon in West Lake!
The coolest thing was right next door is this foot massage /​acupuncture place that I went into right after my waxing and was so relaxed after an hour foot and back massage!
Mani Pedi then hour massage, yes please! PJ I will be back in a few weeks to check out the rest of your salon.

Laila is gives the best gel manicures and pedicures! I have gone to many different nail salons over the years and she is by far the best! Call and make an appointment with Laila!

Hands down best and most pleasant nail experience I’ve ever had.
Every single staff member was friendly and helpful. The place was clean incredibly affordable. $ 56 for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. They also put a plastic wrap in the tub where we got our pedicure that they change for each guest for sanitary purposes… my mom and I were both very impressed by this. Lynn was helping me and she was so sweet and did an amazing job. Took her time and was very thorough.
We were offered a drink the second we sat down. We both got a glass of red wine — because why not? My gel manicure also came with a free massage! Who woulda thought? My mom and I each also paid $ 5 extra and got an additional foot treatment to get rid of the excess dead skin.
Too bad I don’t live in Austin because I would definitely make this my go-​to nail spot. I highly recommend this place.

I always love coming here and getting my nails done by David. I’ve been going to him for almost a year now because I’m always so pleased with how well he does. If you have places to be do not worry. He is quick but it never compromises how good of a job he does. He makes my nails perfect no matter what and I always get compliments on them. Make sure to call ahead for an appointment because he books up fast. If you want great service you won’t be disappointed! :)

Tia is so great! I’ve gone to so many nail salons and am so picky, they usually do a decent or awful job. Last person who tried SNS did an awful job but Tia made them perfectly angled. Thin and look like fake nails but they are my own! Great place to try! Ask for Tia if she’s working.

This place changed owners a while ago, and unfortunately I think it has gone downhill since then. It used to be my favorite place to get my nails done but I don’t think I’ll be going back.
My last couple of manicures have been kind of spotty, half-​assed affairs. I bring my own polish which other nail salons put on just fine, so it’s not the polish. I’ve been reprimanded for having short nails that the technicians seem to then not really want to bother with doing a good job on. I’ve had regular polish applied many other times at other salons that lasts a week or more, but here it lasts a few days before it starts looking crappy.
The last pedicure I had here was also kind of half-​assed and didn’t last nearly as long as pedicures I’ve had other places. Everyone has always been nice to me, but technique and effort are definitely lacking.

Okay, not only is this my nail salon jam, this is a great place for a massage. Michelle is an angel. Join the massage club for a ridiculously amazing 1 hour massage for $ 40. Cheap but not cheap, just a really great shop all around.

This review is such a bummer to write because they did a decent job on my nails. I work about 5 minutes away and heard great things from my coworkers. I normally never go out to get my nails done because I’m a little particular but figured — what the heck!
POSITIVE– they have soooo many gel colors, they’re FAST, and my nails lasted a good while.
NEGATIVE– and my main reason for only giving them 1 star. My nail tech didn’t know I spoke Vietnamese and was making rude comments about my fiancé (who patiently sat and waited for me) and me. She said a lot of inappropriate things, which I don’t even feel comfortable writing about. We both heard and both understood. I almost lost it. I debated on walking out. I was just so shocked that they treated their customers this way… I kept quiet because I really don’t believe in making a scene at someone’s business, but needless to say — I will NEVER return. What’s really sad is the two girls sitting next to me didn’t know that a few of the techs were saying things about them, too. I just don’t feel like this kind of behavior should be appropriate or allowed for a business.

This place was excellent! I called at around 2:30 and they told me they had an open spot at 3:00. When I arrived, I was excited by the multitude of colors from which to choose!
After I chose my colors, I was led to a comfy massage chair and put my foot in the bath. I had to wait about 20 minutes for the staff to finish up another client, which was no big deal. My manicure and pedicure were extremely thorough, including both leg and arm massages.
After some disappointing nail experiences, I am so glad to have found this place. I will definitely be back!

I chose this nail salon after extensive searching through countless reviews. Many other reviews said their favorite technician had relocated here. My technician was Christy, and I’m very happy with my nails!
I took off my old pink/​white square, French tip acrylics and switched to a light pink almond shape. First, I was impressed that instead of ripping off my acrylics she soaked them off! I didn’t even have to request it. +10points!
I was also impressed by how willing Christy was to let me make changes and requests along the way. I never had almond shape before so after putting the tip on she cut just one to show me what it would look like. She also let me compare colors side by side before committing to one. She also made to sure to paint the edges and pay extra attention, like I requested. Before I started she told me what it would cost, item by item, and made sure I was ok with the price before starting. She was very friendly, easy to talk to, very attentive, and has given me the best nails I have had yet.
Look at the photos and see for yourself. Don’t mind my cuticles though, I was gardening yesterday

Tucked away just off of Mopac, shhh don’t tell. This place doesn’t get too crowded which is why I like it! I’m able to just show up and not have to wait too long. Holidays coming up, just give a call ahead to see. Friendly staff and affordable!

So glad I found this place! I called in for an appointment and they were able to take me in at 1pm. They got me in & out for a pedi in less than an hour. A few other things:
1) Technicians and staff are so nice and helpful. They were very friendly and was respectful, not talking amongst each other too much. I highly recommend Laila.
2) Very reasonable prices — I paid $ 26 for a basic pedi that included a nice massage and hot towel treatment.
3) Clean and sterile. There is no smell of acrylic nails or the polish remover.
Highly recommended!

I popped into PJ Nails & Spa without an appointment … and it was also my first time visiting this salon.
Sometimes going to a new salon can be a bit intimidating… After signing in, should I pick the color or sit and wait; what colors can I choose from; where do I rinse my hands; restroom; water; wine; are they talking about me and how bad my heel callouses… argh… Do I really want to be here???
If you are at PJ Nail Salon — the answer is yes, you really do want to be here!!!
1) Technicians and management are genuinely nice and helpful
2) Prices… awesome! A deluxe pedi is $ 35; and a basic clear coat mani is $ 15 (without tip of course)
3) Equipment. Clean and sterile. Major plus… there is no smell of acrylic nails or the polish remover!
4) Ambiance. There was soothing music and pleasant spa-​like aroma
And another major plus for me… it’s very close to home!!!
I’ll definitely be returning!!!

Had a great experience this evening at PJ.
I walked into the salon around 6:15 without an appointment. Even though they close at 7 and the technicians were already working on other clients, they were more than happy to help me. Even after I told them I wanted a full acrylic manicure! I was offered a beverage and barely had to wait.
Tia did my nails and although I came in wanting acrylic, she told me about the SNS system they offer and I ended up doing that. I’m so glad I did! It looks similar to acrylic but it doesn’t contain all the chemicals and doesn’t damage the natural nail. Tia was so sweet and explained to me each thing she was doing in the process. She took her time which I truly appreciated, especially so near to closing.
I am very particular about manicures and this is one of the best I have ever had! An added bonus is that the salon is in a convenient location in Westlake with easy parking. Will never go anywhere else in Austin!

I bought a groupon for the gel manicure. I called before I went since the voucher said I needed to make an appointment. When I got there they were a little backed up so I ended up having to wait about 20 minutes.
Laila, the nail technician was very apologetic for making me wait. She immediately offered me something to drink, which is really nice to have at a nail salon imo. I started with a pedicure. It was a fairly simple pedicure, but it did include a massage and hot towel wrap. This took about 30 minutes and costs $ 26.
Then I moved to the hand station and got the gel manicure. They have a policy of fixing your shellac nails within 10 days if anything were to happen to them! Normally it costs $ 30 for a gel manicure. After using my groupon, I was given a voucher for $ 21 on my next gel manicure :)
Overall they have a decent selection of colors (for both regular and shellac), they have great service, and maintain their salon well. Despite having to wait a bit, Laila did a great job on my nails. I have been struggling to find a nail salon in Austin, and I will most definitely be returning!

This was a perfect nail experience: quiet, soothing spa music, no wait with my appointment.
Laila was great to talk to, and also have a great hand and neck massage! I definitely gave her a nice tip for that.
It had a nice spa like atmosphere, I will definitely go back!
Update: sadly I had to change my review from 5 stars to 3 stars. Just 8 days later since writing this review my nail Polish is peeling off from the bottom up. Almost all of my nails are peeling so I will probably have to get them redone in a few days. The whole point of shellac is for it to last for weeks and weeks. :(
