Nail Spa One

First visit to the salon on a referral and had one of the worst manicures ever. So disappointing. Immediately they try to upsell me on extra spa pedicure treatments. When I said I just wanted a regular pedicure because I was in a hurry they started the chatter amongst themselves (pretty funny). Not a relaxing salon with tons of tacky décor and clutter all over the place. They don’t do the cotton ball method for shellac removal, they soak your nails, which I don’t like. They don’t have color match so I had to use two different brands on my nails and toes. Can’t believe it was $ 65 for a regular manicure and pedicure. Totally not worth it. I will not be coming back!

I’ve been coming here for years and love it! The staff is always so friendly. It’s always very clean and never smells strongly of chemicals. Alex is amazing!

I just went there on Sunday 4÷24÷16 and made an appointment for 2pm. I got Kim who says she has done this for about 8 years. First of all she doesn’t look old enough to have been doing nails for that long and second she butchered my nails!!! I have been getting my nails done for YEARS… I used US nails off northpark with Jean but after my appointment was canceled without my knowledge and I showed up and she was unwilling to fit me in for 3 more days I was done. So I tried this salon by referral and was very disappointed! I was hardly left with any nails after going in for a refill and then she ended up taking my nails off and starting over. After seeing what my nails looked like when I went in, I walked out with a completely different look of nails. I think she did my nails to her liking not to mine. When I said something about them being too short she said «you don’t like short?» I said «no!, did I come in with short nails??» Sh had nothing to say after that and ended up charging me $ 50 for nails I HATED!!! FIRST AND LAST TIME EVER!!! I advise you not to use Kim!!!

Quality pedicures and manicures here. Just love Julie and Alex. Their years of experience shows in their work and customer service. A little pricier than other places but I wouldn’t move else where. Advice is quick and professional every time.

Terrible customer service and nail job. This is my first and last time going to this nail salon.

Great place! Really nice inside and the ladies were very friendly! Fast service and they did a good job!

This place is definitely not what the reviews made it out to be. First of all they really need to switch their technique for removing shellac. The girl totally scrapped off all my natural nail. I was also charged $ 43 for a regular shellac application when I asked the lady why she said she had given me a full manicure. That was not the case.

Went in for a pedicure, no chip (gel) manicure, and was disappointed with the service and the price. I had read the reviews that the prices were higher, so was prepared for that but didn’t feel the quality of the services or customer service met the price. Had both services done at same time, which I don’t normally have a problem with, but do have issues when they are conversing in their own language with each other, taking personal phone calls (on cell and landline) during the service, and ignoring my requests how I want my nails done (they started oval and ended up square). I had polish all over my toes, so they looked sloppy. The trimming on the nail sides had my toes sore within a day. Too early to tell if I will have issues with the no chip but my nails were rough on the underside and I have fibers in the polish on two fingers. I will continue to search for a salon where I don’t feel ripped off when I leave.

Terrible. The place is crowded and cluttered. The service I received was not good. My nails came out ugly and my toenails are shaped like a three year old cut them. Horrible and expensive for such a waste of money!

I’ve been going to this place for 5 years now. I’ve had some problems with them but I finally found someone that can do what I like. Last week she couldn’t take me and I had two new people work on me (one did my nails and the other my pedicure) and it was awful as well as an unprofrofessional experience. My toe was cut and was bleeding badly and they were upset that I was mad. Then I kept telling the one that did my nails that she had to use a different gel on my nails or they would turn black and she continued to use the wrong one. When I brought it to her attention again she, the girl doing my pedicure, the owner and my regular nail tech started talking about me in their language and looking right at me. No one in there likes to serve me because they say I’m picky, but I have that right when I’m paying my money. They are always talking in their language about me, but I’ve always ignored them. This time I was so angry and wanted to curse them out but I said I can do one better. They will never get another dime of my money. I even feel like reporting them to the State Board. No one should feel uncomfortable being serviced. I spend $ 100 plus dollars every time I go and that type of behavior is unacceptable…

I was getting disappointed in my previous salon that I was going to down the road from this one. So I was on the hunt for a new one. I was even thinking about going to the hieghts area.
So I go to Unilocal to help out. I was not so sure about this one because of the mixed reviews… But I am glad I went.
There is a lot of space and a lot of techs on hand… This place is slightly higher than others but so far totally worth it. My tech took her time and wasn’t too abrasive about constantly talking to me. She knew when to talk and when to let me relax!
It was the best mani pedi I’ve had in a long time and was completely relaxed by the end of it… I will definitely go back…

I usually get GCs here for my parents since they like getting pedis here. So I decided to try it out since I was on this side of town for the weekend. Maybe I’m use to paying Houston prices but $ 35 for a basic mani & shellac is cheap!!! Not sure why this place is rated with higher prices. As for the wait it was pretty quick for walking in on a Saturday. 10 – 15 mins max.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. The wine didn’t hurt either. Clean and friendly! I’ll be back!

If I could give Nail Spa One negative stars, I would. I’m new to the area and received recommendations from a local online community. This place is awful. First, it wreaks of chemicals and cheap lotion like from the Target dollar bins. Second, a number of the staff do not speak English well, so it made it difficult to communicate what I wanted. The upselling and pushing of the staff to sell you pricier services is embarrassing. After days of unpacking and many more days of unpacking and cleaning ahead of me, I just wanted my shellac nails removed, a paraffin wax treatment, massage and cut, file and buff my natural nails. I paid $ 70 for someone to lightly rub hot rocks on my calves and literary wrap my appendages in vegetable bags from the grocery store filled with wax. Third, there were flies and gnats in the salon, which was disgusting and unappealing. And fourth, the hollering of the staff to one another across the store is less than desirable for a self proclaimed «spa.»

I’ve been coming here for over 2 years now, and I love it. I’ve been seeing Crystal and highly recommend her to anyone. I come about every 2 weeks to get a mani, pedi $ 70 (includes the OPI lotion with wax, hot towels and hot stone massage) and my eyebrows waxed $ 8 (by Alex). Everyone is so friendly and I love when I walk in everyone knows my name. I always get squeezed in if needed and have no problems with making appointments. They started doing facials $ 45 and I go about once a month and get a mini facial. It’s wonderful! They also offer free drinks, wine, mimosas and free wifi. I love the service and like everyone that works there.

EXPENSIVE! I came here after reading the excellent reviews because I was in town visiting. I received an excellent manicure and pedicure and excellent service. I never even thought to ask about prices! Well $ 132 later, I wish I had! I have never in my life spent anywhere close to this on a manicure and pedicure! They charged me $ 52 for my pedicure, $ 47 for a gel manicure and $ 33 for threading (lip and cheek)! Absolutely outrageous prices compared to FL! This does not take away from the job they did. As I said, it was excellent but next time I will definitely pay closer attention!

I feel a little let down by my fellow Unilocalers with this place. We recently moved to the area from out of state and I’ve been trying to find my new ‘usual’ spot. I guess I need to keep trying.
Positives: they have a large staff and I didn’t have to wait, despite not having an appointment. Their selection of nail colors I very good. The place looked very clean and even uses liners in their foot baths.
Negatives: I had a set put on and a regular pedicure, by two different technicians, which were both $ 10 – 15 more than I am used to paying. Just three days later, two of my nails started cracking and broke. During my pedicure, the technician kept trying to upsell me to a more expensive deal. I understand trying to do that at first but in the middle of a pedicure I don’t want to hear about «If you had paid more you would get xyz.» Let me enjoy my experience, please. She also left lots of calluses on my feet and said this was because I didn’t get their fancy $ 60 pedicure. I have paid twenty bucks for a pedicure before and had all the calluses removed, so for $ 35 I would expect to have smooth feet when I walk out. I also didn’t like how everywhere you look, there’s some kind of «special» advertised. The place makes me feel like I’m being forced to watch commercials in the middle of an experience which should be somewhat spa-​like, even though it’s in a stripmall.

Really like this place. Been twice and each time have enjoyed it. A little pricey because I get the deluxe pedi and shellac nails. Kelly is sweet and does good work. Only thing that bothers me is everyone speaking in another language besides English, but what nail salon do you go to that they don’t do this? Everyone that i have been to.

I was a walk-​in and they took me. I was a bit surprised how busy they were for a weekday. I don’t remember her name but she took her time. I did mani and pedi and she did a wonderful job. She took her time painting my nails and massaging my legs. She made sure I was comfortable and I was relaxed. Even though I was Vietnamese, I lied whee she asked. I heard her saying in Vietnamese to get coworker how she accidently told me $ 60 instead of $ 50 for the pedicure. However, she took off on the $ 10 on manicure so it even out. Pretty decent place. I would come back here.

I’ve been to a variety of salons in Houston and L.A. Nail Spa One is by far the best I’ve ever been to. Admittedly I’ve never been to a super posh day spa, but in the Humble area it doesn’t get any better than this place.
They offer free beverages including wines (yum, from a box! lol) and the salon is nicely decorated, comfortable and super duper clean. You get a personal set of pedicure tools sanitized between visits.
I won’t mention the name of my favorite manicurist since I don’t want to not be able to get an appointment if a lot of people read this, but she’s great.
They offer manicures, pedicures, solar nails, waxing, and facials. It’s the most popular pedicure spot in the area, and last year they expanded the salon so there was room for more massaging pedicure chairs. It’s also very popular for men’s pedicures, and it’s very common for me to see a guy getting a pedicure after a round of golf at RedStone.
