Nail Salons 15 Reviews in Waco, TX (Part 3)

Alyssa Sevilla The first time I came here a year ago, same people, I was told that there was a lady who knew how to care for ingrowns and was treated well, Today was my second time coming here and I completely hated it. First off they didnt reshape like it was said on the menu, she knew I had ingrowns and didnt bother, she painted over them, and at one point I was choking and kept asking for wat r and all she did was smile at me. I never wanted to cry so much like I did today. I never want to come back .

Jennifer Charlton Went with my sister. They did great on mine. But I sister ended up with fungus on her nail it’s gross. Now she has to treat it We went 2 weeks ago. She had a different nail tech than me. So be picky and make sure they use clean everything .. I really like the lady who did mine but after that. I will not be returning. Zero stars

S R I went in on a Monday when they weren’t busy at all, got seated quickly and was taking care of the whole time. I was a little iffy on the design but they turned out amazing. Let’s just say this is the place I’m always going to get my nails done now!

Christie Harris Summer! Summer! Summer! She went above and beyond to meet my expectations. I didn’t feel rushed she kept checking with me to make sure I liked the shape, that I liked the color, that I liked the length.

KARINA REYNOSO I recently had my nails done at this salon and I went back to have them file down a little shorter, and this is was I walked out with. Lynn, who did my nails obviously did not care about her work as it took her maybe 5 mins to do. The length is what I wanted however she did not care enough about her work to shape the nails. Now this is not the first time I go in here and have had a bad experience. I had actually not been in about a year for the same reason their staff there have horrible customer service skills. They take their customers for granted and it shows. I think the reason they are so popular is their location not necessarily their service. On top of the fact that they do a horrible job (there is maybe 1 or 2 people in there who actually do a good job) they are rude, and they don’t like for you to tell them exactly what you want. 0 of 10 do not recommend.

Jennifer W. Ryan was amazing. He removed the color from my toes and repainted them and then moved me right into his chair to get my nails done. I was trying to read on my kindle and he offered me his phone stand to use so he could do my nails and I could read. He made sure that I liked the length and shape of my nail before he moved onto the rest of my nails. He offered if I wanted anything to drink before he got started with the service. This was my first visit and the first time I ever did Cats Eye polish and I love it. He made sure to show me the design and then finished my nails. It was an amazing experience and I cant wait to go back. Very well done ZiZi Nails!

Unswella Ankton I had the absolute worst experience here today. I arrived at 10:15am for a soak off and a red French full set. This should have taken a maximum of 2 hours. Not only did I walk out with misshaped, off colored, poorly filed nails, but I was charged $105 and I didn’t walk out until 1:45pm! I sat for 45 minutes before THE HOST began soaking my nails off. I have no idea if he’s a manicurist or not but he was very kind and apologetic. Never once during this wait time, where there wasn’t that many people present, did a manager come address me. The host had to start and stop my soak off/drilling process as more customers arrived. I also watched the two customers ahead of me come and go before my soak off was completed. I sat for another 30 minutes or so before I asked the host to just wrap up the soak off and I was going to leave. He said “oh my manager said it’ll be only 10-15 more minutes to get you started.” I said ok, 20 minutes or so go by before Lynn gets started. She sweet and kind but I’m over it. Before my she starts my set, she brings me a bill for $105 and I say audibly “are you serious?” Im disgusted at the lack of customer service they have shown here. I’m showing my nails here. This should be free with how terrible they look. They look nothing like the photo I showed. They’re bubbly, misshapen (which I had to pay extra for the “length and shape”) and you can’t even see the chrome. This was a complete joke. When I was paying, and even after I tipped just to be kind, I asked to speak to the manager. The host said oh she’s over there but she’s busy. The audacity is unreal. The first photo is what I asked for. The second one is what I got.

Paige Barfield Summer is a miracle worker!! I got a full acrylic set done at a different salon and it turned out so horribly. I went to Zizi to hopefully get them fixed, but I honestly was afraid I would have to soak them off and start over. Rather than push me to get a whole new set, which would have been more expensive, she said she would try to fix them. She did better than just fix them, she made them perfect! She was so quick and efficient but did not lack any attention to detail. First 2 pictures are the before, and last 2 are after Summer worked her magic. So happy with my nails!

Angel Anjeanvieve I must say this is one of the best nail salon experiences Ive ever had. The service I received was absolutely wonderful, so much so that I brought my coworkers to this nail salon. Mia is awesome and willing to give you what you request and Yue is very attentive and does a great job! Its quiet and calm and the entire staff is professional and give great customer service. I will be their customer from now on.

Emily Feuer GO HERE! Just stopped by on a whim based on seeing other reviews and it’s amazing. I got a gel manicure with 4 nails with designs and it was $45. Mia did an amazing job with the manicure itself and the designs are exactly what I wanted. They use a separate packet of clippers and cuticle tools and it feels clean. Everyone was friendly and they take tips on cards.

Cindy Esser My daughter and I went in yesterday, no appt and they were so nice! Greeted us when we walked in, offered drinks and were personable. My nails turned out beautifully and will definitely be going back!

Savannah Walker They are amazing! I got exactly what I wanted for my nails. It was also my first time getting a pedicure and it was great!

Elizabeth Serrano I had a NIGHTMARE experience at a salon in Clifton TX (2 photos of before). I googled Nail Creations and found photos of Ariel’s work, so I specifically asked for her and if she could help me. My fingers are sore as hell but she grinded down, built them back up and fixed them and made them sooooo pretty again. I will follow her wherever she goes!

April Corpman I usually go to Killeen to get my nails done but decided to go to Nail Creations. The front desk guy was rude and yelling at people because they put people in the wrong chair. I asked for a fill ,gel polish and shortening. She gave what I asked for but trimmed one hand shorter than the other and charged me the same price my old place charges for specialty nails. I didn’t get anything special. It was a very big bummer. I would have said something but I was afraid she would have gotten yelled at. I wasn’t familiar with there place.

Erika Torres First time visiting nail creations on valentines 2/14. Super sweet staff and super efficient. Had the best nail tech of them all Ariel. She did an absolute amazing job. i love my nails and my toes because of her. Most definitely recommend coming and asking for ariel shes the sweetest , kindest and funniest person ever. YOU ROCK ARIEL.

Lucy Chafin I saw David today in Waco and he did a wonderful job! When I went in my nails were pretty beat up but now they look very good! Great service and a clean facility!! Very impressed!

Alyssa Sotelo David did an amazing job! I was in NEED of a pedicure and he did great. He was able to get my ingrowns and went to work on my heels! Thank you David.

Taniqua Griffin Michelle did my toes and Linda did my nails. They both were awesome!! Great and friendly customer service. They have really sweet wine if you are into that it was good. Very clean, great for girls night out. Beautiful Christmas tree and flower wall. The decor is very beautiful. Prices are reasonable! Will definitely be back.

elizabeth brown First time in and the staff were very friendly and the business is beautiful. My nails are just what I wanted . Just found my new nail spot and couldn’t be happier !!!

Angela Montano I had the best experience at Nail Studio in Hewitt, Texas this evening. I got off work late I wanted to get my nails done But most nail salons were closed. Luckily, I found nail studio and was helped My technician named Mimi. She was so awesome Needless to say, my nails came out beautiful! I definitely recommend going to nail studio.

A C Hannah did my nails and I am pleased with the outcome! Thank you Ms. Hannah. This was my 1st visit & I plan to be a return customer.

Nicole Valenzuela I love this place! I had a wonderful pedicure and full set with gel. My technician was professional and provided a nice service. She made sure that I was pleased with the color and shape of my nails. The salon is clean and very well maintained.

Hannah Lee Nails are great, but she didn’t put a second coat of white so it’s streaky. Don’t realize she wasn’t going to put another coat of white on until she had already put on the top coat

Briana Jones Update: I was able to go back today and Chloe fixed my nails for me and did amazing! The picture on the left is what I asked for and the other one is what I left with. I told them I needed a basic white French tip with glitter clear coat. Brian did my nails they are super thick and not at all what I asked for. He charged me $70 for something that I did not want. I told him I was on my break and he told me I should have said something from the beginning and someone else would have done my nails. When I go to get a French tip it usually does not take longer than 45 minutes and I always go on my break

Megan Had a great experience. The staff are always extremely kind and hospitable. My nails chipped but they have a 14 day warranty so I plan on going back!

Mallory MacCollister The WORST experience ever. Will never go back. Got busy towards the end and everything felt rushed. My sister got a mani/pedi. The manicure is terrible. Left her in the manicure chair to start a pedicure. By the time we walked out her nails were uneven and THE PAINT WAS ALREADY CHIPPED. LITERALLY WHILE WALKING OUT OF THE DOOR. No top coat on the nails– that or they use terrible products. I got a pedicure and they did not scrub the dead skin off my heels. Isn’t that the whole reason for a pedicure??

Andrea Powell They did an excellent job. I was pleased with the color and shape of my nails. The young woman who did my nails also did a great job. The salon was pretty clean and well managed. I do have a crack in on of nails that they painted over but I was told they have 14 dya warranty if it voke. So we will see if they honor it.

Candace wachsmann I came to this place looking for a new nail technician because my previous one messed up my nails. They took great care of my kids, and the prices were very reasonable. Not only that, but they fixed my nails for an excellent price. I will definitely continue to go here.

Heather Nessler I don’t get my nails done often but when I do I always come back to Tiffany’s! I’ve always had great experiences and she is always able to take my crazy inspo pictures to make me a beautiful set!

Annie Frost I often come here to get my nails done. I always appreciate the skills of the staff here. They work very carefully and meticulously, and are also very agile and flexible. Customers always feel satisfied with them

Gladys Russell My first time trying a dipping manicure, and I loved it! The staff was very friendly and paid great attention to detail. The salon was clean and comfortable, and I’ll be back again soon.

Sha-Lyn Watson Tiffany was great!! I absolutely love my nails, and I was in and out really quickly!! Highly recommend!

tricia Dresner Tyra, Jason, and the whole team at Luxury Nails are absolutely fantastic! The customer service is top-notch. I’m not a fan of long nails, and Tyra made sure to trim them exactly how I like. When you walk in, you’ll receive dedicated attention from a nail tech. What I love most is how focused they are on you during your appointment—theres no rushing from chair to chair or loud, distracting chatter. Its a truly relaxing experience! Thank you, Tyra!!! I ❤️ my nails 2-8-25

Camarra B. The other day I decided to check out Luxury Nails & Spa, and I can definitely say that I will go back to them again. Before I went, I called to see what their prices were and what time would be best for me to stop by. Luckily they werent busy, and to me their prices were very reasonable for all that is included in the service. As soon as I came in, they greeted me, got me seated, and started my pedicure as soon as I chose my color. I decided to go with the milk & honey pedicure and it was so relaxing!! The whole time they had classical music playing, the massage chair had so many options, and Tony, who serviced me, made me feel so right with how she treated me. She also did a great job with massaging my feet and legs, she had me drifting off to sleep. Besides the massage, I really like the polish on my toes. I recommend them if youre looking for a nice nail shop!

Christie Harris My mother n law took me here for my Birthday. I have never had a better pedicure in my entire life! I will never go anywhere else!

Michelle April (onehappyb) Always a 5* experience here as I have been coming monthly for two years. Tyra and Jason always do a wonderful job and make a great duo!

Kamryn Harcrow Tiffany was quick to get me in with the Christmas rush, did them fast and so cute

Taylor Semulis This place is amazing! The salon is very clean and the people are very friendly. Lee has been doing my nails and they have never looked better. He is very easy to talk to and is always makes my nails looks amazing. I highly recommend going!

Evy Hicks Such a great experience at Ocean Nails Spa. Lee is amazing! He is so friendly and kind. Always seeking to ensure you are happy with the outcome of your nails. He did this set for the holidays and it was one of my favorites. They were exactly how I asked and pictured. My daughter had her nails and pedicure done by Be and they were amazing as well. I had my pedicure done by John and really enjoyed it. The team here is welcoming and does a great job. Highly recommend visiting this spa!!!

Shelly Culver Such a calm & relaxing atmosphere even when they’re super busy! Lee ALWAYS makes sure that I have my nails the way I want them. He knows & makes recommendations based on my skin tone & haha- he puts up with my indecisiveness. Hands down- THE best in McLennan County

Jamie Williamson Highly recommend Ocean Nails, especially for pedicures (best I have ever had!) and dip nails. Absolutely adore Lee, he is so sweet and always does a fantastic job on my dip nails. Everyone is super friendly and I have never had a bad experience here. Well worth the money.

Erica McDonald I walked in with no appointment and was immediately sat down. So thankful! Lee seriously just gave me the best set of nails I’ve ever had! Wonderful location that’s super clean and well taken care of. He took his time and made sure I left thrilled with my set. I will be back!

Sindhuja Dasari I am so disappointed with this salon. Three weeks ago I came in for Acrylic French Tips with gel that was ok. I went in today for an acrylic removal which was $10. She started by cutting the lengths of my nails. Then she used acrylic tips to wedge, chip, and pry the acrylics off my nails. When I asked if she would soak my nails in acetone she told me that the acrylic was too thick when she applied the acrylic in the first place. The process was extremely painful and I can’t believe I paid money for it! Afterwards, even the shaping wasn’t done right! All in all a horrible experience!

Jennie Goodwin My gel pedicure turned out so perfect! The pink & white finish was exactly what I wanted. The waxing service was quick and painless. The manicure lasted so long without any chips. Definitely coming back for more beauty services!

gabriela Larkin I really enjoyed my time here! The technician was skilled and made great suggestions for my nails. I left feeling satisfied and happy with my beautiful manicure. Looking forward to coming back!

sandhya patil I was very pleased with my visit! The staff was attentive, and my nails looked beautiful. The salon had a calming vibe, making it a perfect spot to unwind. Highly recommend!❤️❤️❤️

Gwyneth Doris I really enjoyed my visit! The technician listened to my preferences and did an amazing job. My manicure was perfect, and the atmosphere was so calming. Highly recommend this place❤️

Christie Harris Very disappointed in my services here. I got the gel manicure and the 80 minute pedicure and for the amount of money that was paid , you would think at least the polish job would be decent.

Jessica J I’ve gone here quite a few times without issues for fill in and pedicures. However, when there was an issue, nobody helped rectify the issue which is extremely disappointing and because of that I will not be returning. I had two nails lifting and they were fixed, but not 100% and were getting worse and my nail underneath starting breaking so I called and asked if they could repair those two nails before I left for vacation. I got there showed the two nails and she said ok and questioned why I was choosing the same color. I should have saw that as a red flag. She did a complete fill in and was arguing with me that I needed a fill in. I wasn’t ready for a fill in, yes I know they grew out but my nails last 4 weeks and I just paid for a fill in. I made it very clear when I scheduled the appointment and when I walked in I just wanted my two nails fixed. I guess I should have just got up and left. I didn’t really know what to expect. I reached out to the salon and they didn’t offer any solutions to resolve the issue. As a business owner you should have offered to fix those two nails or some kind of credit.

Maritza Arroyo Paid for a pedicure #2 which it’s for an hour. The tech did it so fast she did it in 40 minutes. Didn’t get my money’s worth. I complained in the front desk. They didn’t care. Not coming back.

Lamma Bunzz This was such a nice and comfortable experience. Jennifer was so gentle and soothing, she really went in depth with the massaging and I couldnt have been more comfortable. I almost fell asleep 5 different times haha, it was pretty cheap for everything I got. I purchased the pedicure organic pomegranate package with gel too. Lasted about a whole hour so it was definitely worth every penny!! My mom also got a manicure, I kid you not her hands looked way brighter and also smooth. 10/10

Linda Gray I came in to get my manicure and the service was great, it was very relaxing getting my hand and arm massage when I got my manicure..

McDonald Alexa (LexDIY) Tina is THE BEST! She always has the cutest designs and is my favorite! Everyone here is so sweet and kind! I’m in Henderson and it is worth the drive because they are so good!

Jones Juarez Wonderful neighborhood salon! Best full set with gel Ive ever had. As a full-time artist, Im rough on my nails, yet they still look great 3 weeks later. I’ll never go anywhere else!

Indy Reeves My nails came out sooo cute. Kim was my nail tech and she did an amazing job. I highly recommend coming here!

Arianna Phillips Kim was my nail tech and she did an amazing job, she made sure I was satisfied throughout the service. I showed her a reference picture and I got exactly what I wanted! Will definitely come back!

Catherine Tillinghast, LPC Julia made my day! I was going out of town and my usual nail girl cancelled on me last minute. I came into Skyline and the girls helped me right away and made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. I appreciate them so much. Julia was meticulous with my nails, her technical skill is amazing and she accommodated all of my weird requests. The end result is beautiful, pictures do not do these nails justice. I will definitely be back. Thank you guys!!!

Jana Dvorsky I’ve gone to Skyline for years but today I wish I had gone somewhere else. I asked for a manicure with dip and after I got my current dip soaked off, I asked for manicure/cuticle cleanup and she told me she didn’t have time. She had a client coming soon. She half cleaned up my cuticles with a tool later, but should’ve just left when she said she didn’t have time. I asked for them to be short and round, she said she had already clipped them and she’d just file now. I could tell she was in a rush and hurrying because her other client was waiting but they could’ve told me they didn’t have time to do it then. My nails are uneven lengths and shape, I’ll be going to get them fixed at another salon. I love their pedicures but they lost me as a nail client.

Briana Molina Nice and quiet on Monday evening and got a very nice gradient done in an hour! Nice and even and a very fair price. Will be returning! EDIT 1 week later: Have to remove some stars as my nails are all off just a week later. I usually have acrylic powder last about 2-3 weeks when I have it done and I had one pop off after three days. Was able to glue it back on with nail glue but all were lifting today and ended up coming off. They were still beautifully done and I got what I paid for, just upset they didnt last.

Cassandra Alexander It was a wonderful! My nails looked hideous and Kay fixed them !! I’ve been wearing acrylic over my nails for 6 months and my pinky nails came loose last Thursday. He was able to redo my nails from a great start and make them look good as new! I highly recommend the dip! I definitely will be going back! Thanks !!

Katherine Hudson Southern Swings is my new go-to place for nails and drinks! I have never been to a nail salon with as great atmosphere, music, and people. They offer many drinks like lattes and mimosas so you feel truly pampered when you get your nails done. Almost all of the pedicure chairs are swings which are so fun. If you want to have a girl’s day or will be visiting Magnolia, I highly recommend this spot.

Kiersten Nawara Rae was AMAZING! New favorite nail/toe place! The wine was great, customer service was awesome. Will be coming back to see Rae! Absolutely loved her and the atmosphere! Rae absolutely killed it as I had no design set in stone and she completely used her creativity and vision. She was amazing!

Kaylin Perkins Great staff. Originally a walk in so we scheduled an appointment but they were able to squeeze us in prior to appointment time. Staff was attentive and very patient. Did a wonderful job and will definitely come back for more manicures and pedicures in the future.

Danielle Potthoff Tonight was my first night here, and I absolutely loved everything about it! From the mimosas, to the decor, to my amazing artist! Bethany was so much fun, we even have matching tattoos on the same finger which I thought was so funny! I will definitely be back! It was such a fun relaxing experience!

Cameron Wiles I totally recommend this new Waco staple. I had a great manicure and pedicure with Ashley this morning. They totally pampered me on my day off! Brandi was so welcoming and the place itself is just adorable. The prices are reasonable too. Go check it out!’
