TN Nails Beautiful

I had a shellac manicure here three days ago and it already peeling off. Not chipping, peeling off… If you enjoy a good shellac manicure you will understand how annoying and frustrating this can be when you’ve paid $ 30 plus a generous tip to have it peel off.

I’ve been to this salon twice and I won’t be returning. My first visit was a great experience, aside from the technician asking if I’m pregnant (I’m not!). Today I was paired with another gal and she spent my entire mani critiquing my nails/​cuticles/​skin. If I wanted feedback on that I would’ve visited my dermatologist! I just came here to treat myself after a long week and instead was subject to her insults. At one point she asked if I cut/​file my own nails and when I said yes she started giggling.

It was my first time here. I had a regular medi and pedi done at the place today. And probably would be the last time. I did not like my nails were polished. I would like my nails to be fully covered yet the technician failed to do so. I had my cuticles cut so it would look nicer to have polish on, yet the technician was unable to so. The technician either applied the polish onto the na unevenly or leave gaps between the cuticle and the nail itself.

If I had to base this review solely on the wax job done by Annie, it would be a solid 5. I’ve been coming to her for about 7 months now. Annie is the owner and she knows all of her customers on a first name basis. She’s personable, funny, and really makes you feel at ease. She is incredibly detailed and is the only person that I trust with my brows (and trust me; I’ve gone to countless places). She’s also done my Brazilian wax, and my husbands full chest and back for a very reasonable price; less than the actual places such as European Wax Center.
However, I had a terrible gel full set done here. I have never been so disappointed in my life. The gel looked nothing on my actual nail as it originally did on the selection pallet. I also told the technician the shape that I wanted, but she completely deviated from my request. To top things off, it had barely been a week before it started lifting. Based on this particular experience, I would rate it a 1.
Lastly, I am currently sitting in a chair getting a pedicure done by Lee. She’s executing this pedicure just the way I like it. She’s gentle, but ensures to get all of that dead skin out. And she’s currently using a hot rock with lotion to massage my legs and feet. That’s most definitely a first and it feels oh so great!!! She gets a solid 5 stars from me.
To conclude, I rated it four stars based on this method I like to use:
— 5 stars for Annie, 1 star for that technician who’s name I never got, and 5 stars for Lee, divided by the 3 services I received = 3.66. Following basic mathematic standards, I rounded to a 4.

My new fav nail shop. All of the ladies are friendly but sometimes very pushy with the upsales. Don’t know how much I’ve gotten misunderstood into today. They are also the right kind of rough to where it feels good. But they do a good job. Feet nice and soft and the food message feel great. Only other issue is they can never figure out how to do my blue and white.

They’re mediocre. My cuticles are all cut up and the gel is messed up but it will do. I may be used to a different standard being from Cali and Las Vegas.

I have to write an update and say that I left my Kindle at the shop and called the next day to see if they had it. They did, but unfortunately I was on my way to the airport and couldn’t stop by to get it. They held it for me for the week until I could pick it up. I appreciate the honesty the shop showed.

I don’t know what all the good reviews are about. I had the worst gel manicure of my life here.
The lady who did my nails was very rough. She cut my cuticles so much that one of them started bleeding. When she got to my thumb, she would grab it really hard and twist it around… I seriously thought she was going to dislocate it!
Also, I picked out a really light pink (almost white) gel color. She starts painting it on and it’s like bright bubble gum pink. I told her that it wasn’t at all like the color I picked and all she said was «but it’s pretty right?» Normally, I would have just dealt with it but I was specifically getting my nails done for the event and this bubble gum pink would just not do. I kept insisting that it was the wrong color and finally, some of the ladies came over and scolded me for not telling her sooner.
Why is it my fault that those gel samples they have aren’t correct?
She had to start over with the gel and did a crappy job, painting it onto my skin. It chipped after a DAY.

Excellent shellac manicure. Good price too! walked in and was taken care of very quickly! Manager was on site and very friendly knew all customers by first name basis.

I have never had my nails done in Houston, so when my mom came into town and wanted to get pedicures, I had no idea where to go. I Unilocaled some places around and we decided on this place. It was my mom, me and my two year old daughter. I wasn’t sure how the salon would be with my daughter but they were so sweet to her! She just got her nails painted but they did a great job. My mom and I got the basic pedicure and it was great. I will definitely go back. We got there a little before 11am and got right in. As we were leaving at noon, it got really busy. The salon is no longer south of the 10 like the map says, it is north of the 10 next to Jimmy Johns, really easy to find.

First of all, the locations has moved to 9778 Katy Freeway, next to Jimmy Johns. That being said — this place was *by far* the best place for my girlfriend and I to get pedicures and manicures. They took extremely good care of us, didn’t excessively try to up-​sale, no hidden prices or fees, and the location was very clean. We plan to make this a monthly thing. Happy girlfriend = happy boyfriend :)

This nail salon is wonderful! I had a great relaxing time. I had free time and just walked in.

Stopped in here for a manicure and pedicure because I was across town and away from my usual place.
They took 3 people for mani pedi’s right away and did an excellent job!
They also offer massage for $ 60 an hour! ! I will soon be back to try that out :)

As my check-​ins reflect, I’ve continued to frequent this place. They recognize me now, which is always nice because they are quick to seat me and make sure I’m taken care of.
I’ve had numerous gel and regular manicures. These gals are pro at the gel manicures. I’ve had one last for a month. Once or twice there have been times when a piece of fuzz gets in the polish, or one nail just doesn’t look right, and they are quick to fix it so that your manicure is perfect when you leave. I hate it when nail techs are clearly ignoring a piece of fuzz on a nail and just paint over it hoping you don’t notice.
The nail polish selection here is really great. They have most on trend Essie and OPI regular polishes, as well as Shellac and OPI gel polishes. The gel color selection is fabulous, but if you truly want a long lasting gel manicure I recommend sticking with the Shellac or OPI. The Gelish brand just isn’t as good or strong.

My shellac lasts for 2 weeks + 2 – 4 days, depending on how much outside work I do.
IF you take the time to get it done right your nails will last for just as long. Don’t rush the ladies and then give them a bad review.
If you have a problem let them know and they will be more than happy to fix it for you. If you think they are being pushy, tell them. Speaking up will help future service quality.
They are very understanding ladies.
Direct your concerns or compliments to the owner or Ms. Annie.
*Tip for shellac — soon as you see any tip damage, lightly file it off.

Horrible Experience.
I called this place before going to make an appointment and to ask them if they could do the Texans logo in one of my nails, they said yes, not just yes, but «Yes, yes, yes, we can do it». I showed up a few minutes before my appointment and they took me right away, which I thought was great. Well I sat down, got my phone, and showed Holly, the lady that was doing my nails a picture of the Texans logo I wanted. I asked her if she could do it, and she said «Yes, of course». Just so yall know, the only reason why I went to Nails Beautiful was because at the salon I usually go to they don’t know how to do the logo. Well… Holly started removing the shellac I had, and I told her I didn’t want her to file or cut my cuticles because I liked the way they looked, I usually do that myself. She complained. I understand they charge more if they do a full mani but I didn’t want her to! One of the other workers offered a pedicure, I said no, since I had had it done 2 days before, and she insisted. Again, I know they’re trying to sell, but if the customer says no, it’s no. After removing the shellac, she starts filing two of my nails because according to her they didn’t look nice, I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to be rude, but I had to stop her a second after, she completely destroyed both nails. She had to file them really short to make them look half way decent. By then, I was about to get up and leave, but I thought of the logo, and how hard it would be to find another place to get it done at. She finished the nails, did the three layers of nail polish she’s supposed to do by my request, after complaining and saying she only had to do two, to then tell me one of her coworkers had gone to the store to buy the stickers they were gonna use for my logo! I could not believe was I was hearing. It all got even worse when her coworker showed up and said she couldn’t find the logo, so… as she said «sorry about that». So I had to get up, PAY, and leave without what I asked for, and with two nails completely messed up.
I am never ever going back in there and I would never ever recommend that place.

It was my first time here and I absolutely love the place. I got a pedicure by a technician name thuan and she was so gentle and thorough with her work. She didn’t hurt me at all and I am a very sensitive person. Plus the massage was incredible! I paid total $ 31 and got sea salt scrub + hot stone massage!!! Definitely come back here.

I was in the area looking for a nail salon so I stopped by this place seeing that most of the ratings here on Unilocal had four stars and up. I came in, waited about 5 minutes and was ready to be seen. I decided to get a shellac manicure loving how it’s supposed to last up to two weeks without chipping and all that. Well, at least my other shellac manicure lasted about that long.
So the lady cuts my cuticles and then starts with the shellac polish process. The lady was nice. We chit chatted a bit, and that was it. We were all done. I look at my nails, and it appears to look great. The color is pretty and shiny. I pay, leave a tip and leave. I get to the car and notice that on one of my nails, the clear coat is not fully coated onto my nail. It was a bit streaky, but I said who cares. It’s only one nail.
So here I am four days later. I look at my nails, and a few of my nails have color chipping off the tips and a few other nails have clear coat chipping off of them. I’m usually not a picky person, but when I pay for a shellac manicure that is supposed to last for up to two weeks, it should last for at least two weeks. If not two, at least one! You’ll never know how any place is until you try it. So I did that, but unfortunately, I’ll never be back again.

Great salon. The ladies who did my mani and pedi will spend the time and effort to do a great job. They don’t rush you and they make sure your nails look perfect.
yes, I agree with someone who was saying that they do try to upsell pretty hard. And you know what, that’s ok with me. Just politely and firmly say no. this is a business, and they are simply trying to make money, don’t see what’s the big deal.
Next time I am coming to Houston I will definitely make sure to stop by. hard to find a salon that does such a thorough job.

Oh my goodness… ummm, I have so much to say about this fantastic Nail Salon, & a lot of it was said in my Quick Tips & Pics, so like I’ve said before, I’ll TRY & keep it short… I know, I’m Waisting my breathe!!! Lol.
So, I stumbled upon this place yesterday when I was waiting for my mom’s A/​C to be fixed in her car. Of course, like everything else, I checked the biz out on Good ol’ Unilocal 1^st, & thought, Yep, they should be just fine!!! (I’m picky when it comes to my nails, so new places can have me on edge at 1^st).
Walked in and there are pedicure chairs (massage of course) & nail stations galore! This place is huge compared to Nail Salons in my neck of the woods, but this happened to be smack~dab in Memorial City area so I wasn’t too surprised.
I didn’t wait 5 min before they were ready for me!!! Nice touch! (called other locations in the area & each place had at least a 30 – 60 min wait).
My pampering of the feet started out with one lady & that quickly changed, not sure why, but it was all good! The next girl workin on my feet was a Lil Young thang! Super cool because she, much like myself, LOVED to talk!!! About 5 min into my pedicure, another woman, Lynn, pulled out a seat & started on my hands.
Now, a lot of women that wear tips, or get acrylic overlay, usually start with a new set every other month or so, but that’s not me. MY nails are long & it helps being that way as long as I keep them so they don’t break. But yesterday I figured, what the heck, chop them bad boys off & let’s start from fresh. After all, I had nothin but time on my hands… literally!!!
My pedicure was fantastic!!! Only $ 26 & $ 5 extra for sea salt, not bad compared to how they jack things up out my way (depending on where u go). She, & I’ll get her name to come to me soon, used the Hot Rocks on my legs & feet. Somethin else I’ve never had done in Spring AND it was included, no extra charge!!! YAY!!!
Lena had my feet on point! The feel soooo good!!!
About the same time my pedicure was finished, Lynn was just about done popping all my original nails off. This may seem like a long time to some, but it’s been 3 years since I started over with a new set, & if you know me, you know I wear my nails LONG!!!
Lynn proceeded to put my new set on. We laughed and talked and joked and talked…& about 4 hours after I walked in, I was done!!! Perfect timing, bc my mom’s A/​C was done being fixed at the same time!!!
Now, I know what you’re thinking, 4 HOURS!!! For a full set & pedicure!!! No way Jose!!! But again, I was far from in a rush & Lynn usually doesn’t do nails as long as mine so she was making sure everything was perfect!!! My total for removal & LONG full set, solar, $ 57 (Reg $ 35 if you’re not me, lol). So I paid my total of $ 88, tipped Lena $ 5 for my pedi & Lynn $ 10 for my beautiful nails!!! A little over $ 100, that’s my kind of shop. To y’all that keep a normal length, you’ll walk out paying $ 66 (that’s with the $ 5 extra for sea salt).
I would have NO problem driving from Spring to Memorial City next time I need a refill!!! I’ll def be going to see Lynn & Lena again in 2 – 3 weeks!!!
Oh, there’s a Bally’s, I believe it’s Bally’s, above the nail shop. After about 6pm it can get a little noisy overhead, but Nails Beautiful service is worth a Lil bangin around. Another plus, there’s a Starbucks right next door, yes, Right next door!!! I was able to control myself from going over, but next time I’ll hit them 1^st… yeah I got a little jealous watchin all the Starbucks cups walkin around the salon & walkin past the window. I really don’t see needing to make an app at this nail shop,
Unless you just want someone in particular to do your nails.
Nails beautiful gets five stars in my book, because I thoroughly enjoyed my pampering and my entire afternoon with the ladies over there yesterday! I definitely recommend this place to anyone in the Memorial city area!
