Nail Salons 19 Reviews in Corpus Christi, TX (Part 2)

Jazmin Espinoza Lauren is the most talented nail tech I know! She is so creative and amazing, she even bought duck shaped nails for me to try

Naomi Cruz If you are looking for precision and attention to detail for your nails, Lauren is your girl. Im pretty basic and simple with my nail requests and Lauren always deliver exactly what I want. She always makes sure its just you and her so the whole focus is on you as a client. She also makes sure that every little thing in your nails is to your like. The nail salon is personal with a very relaxing atmosphere. Im so glad I found her and I will never trade her for another nail artist!

Sarivale Iglesias Amazing service, Lauren did an outstanding job on me and my 6 year old daughters nails. We will definitely be returning clients!

Kayla Andy did an amazing job getting my nails glammed for the holidays! I’m so happy with the end result. I highly recommend them to anyone in the surrounding areas. Extremely nice and friendly staff! :)

Shelia Hinds Mistreatment and poor job in CalAllen area. Nails Chipping after 2nd day. He forgot to put sealant as the last step. I was going to a wedding 3 hours away and didn’t have time to waste. He only used a fan to dry my nails. I had no shine at all! They said they took walk ins. I asked for a mani pedi. Guy at 1st chair took me. After I came in, the shop got busy. Midway through a nice woman came and asked for a mani pedi. She had no appt. After she waited about 10 minutes, while doing my nails, my tech says “I don’t think we will have time to do your pedicure.” I said ‘it’s okay I’ll find someplace else. But while paying, and giving him a tip, (which I should not have) he tells the nice lady to go in the back to get her pedi. I gave him the look. Apparently I had the wrong characteristics. Moved all the way from DC/MD area to get treated like this. I feel skin color had a place in the treatment I received. I found another place that was so nice and comforting. Toes look better than hands. Solar nails you should be ashamed!!! I will not return.

Kloe Torres i do not love my set . i have never had my set look this bad ever in my life . i showed a picture for my homecoming set & i was thinking i was going to walk out of the salon looking exactly like that well i had to walk out with something completely different i did not like it what so ever . i do not recommend going here . the first picture is what i wanted & the second one is what i got i am so upset & disappointed. & made me pay 120 for this like come on??? let’s be so for real right now .

Amanda Delapaz First and last time I will go here. Did not like the customer service. Man who did my daughter’s nails was not very friendly. My daughter who has gotten her nails done before, could not even move or flinch he would get upset and tell her to stop moving. Then of course he would start talking in their language with the other workers and it’s pretty obvious they were talking about us. We asked for pink nail white tip. The pink looked sooo pink it did not give the natural look I was wanting. And on top of it all the girl who polished my daughter’s toe nails cut her nails super short! So with French tip, it looks ridiculous. We will not be returning to this business again.

Linaa Longoria This is the best salon in calallen. I would give 10 stars if I could. Quality customer service and the nails / pedis are consistently amazing. Also love that they are affordable, plus the hours and payment methods are so convenient. If you need a good salon to get your nails done here is the spot. I have been a customer since December of 2022 and I keep coming back because this is a great place. I am one happy repeat customer.

Norma Ramirez Use to be good.Went for a manicure. No water was used other than when I was told to wash my hands. Nancy messed up my cuticles using only lotion and a very bad manicure throughout the experience. The other older lady always did a great job on my manicures.... If I go back it will be for that kind of manicure.

Kimberly Dawson Everyone is always.very welcoming. If there is a wait time the try to make it as little as possible. Pedicures are fantastic for me. Manicures are quick but precise to my and others liking. Thank u for your service

Mama Llama Unsanitary. They do not clean tools like they are supposed to. They will use it on someone before you and then come over to use it on you. If you dont believe me look at the purple foot files. They are supposed to change those for each person but they are always so used looking and thin. Shop is dirty and they are rude unless you are a regular. Everytime i have been here my nails have hurt for days after, but have since learned that is because they are either using mma illegal monomer or they just file your nails way too much. Either way is not good for your nails. Take your chances if you want.

Mackenzie Lopez I came in for full set they where rude ad she didn’t even do my nails right they look ugly what kind of nails are these

Mrs. E Lifting! My nails started to lift at 10 days. Ive never had this issue. My previous nail tech does well and I can go 3 weeks before needing a fill. But my nails do not lift. I tried someone new. Good price. But I guess you get what you pay for. Id rather pay more money for quality.

Keryn Garcia I normally don’t get overlay nails.. but it was the best decision I made! She was very helpful in helping me choose the best color for my nails! I cannot thank her enough! I’m definitely coming back with her!

andreamb13 Nayi did wonderful work. I had a nice break chatting with her. She focused on nail health and good technique. I appreciated the time she took ensuring to provide good service. Would recommend her as a nail tech.

Brian Cramer If you let your girl go anywhere else for her nails she’s not at her full potential! Anai has good communication, she’s punctual, prices are amazing and the work she does speaks for itself. Highly recommend!!!

Chloe Meerkat She perfectly did my nails! It was a beautiful blue aura nail that was so gorgeous! Definitely recommend her services! She is also very sweet!!

Kayla Canales My nails were all cracked and damaged from another establishment and Anayi made suggestions to help them heal instead of adding something that would do more damage.

Katy Flickz Cute nail Salon! Not only is this place beautiful inside, the staff are equally beautiful and talented! My nails last a month long and I only have to polish change if I want to change my style up.

Karina Amaya I had gel done last month. I had my nails one for one whole month before needing to get them redone. Now thats impressive! I love this salon! Everyone is very sweet and friendly and it is a very clean salon.

Philomena Richard Ive gotten plain manicures, nail art, gel nails, and pedicures and been extremely happy every time. Which is such a nice touch! Cant recommend enough!

Tiffany Broyles I LOVEEEE THIS PLACE, I just got my nails done for homecoming and they look beautiful. I showed her the picture of what I wanted, and she did way more for the same price and I love it. I got these nails done for $75

Jo Ann Pena Mya was amazing ! She did my daughter’s nails exactly like the pic !

CC Lynch Wanted to try this place based on the reviews, and had a 20% off coupon. Wasnt able to sit and get a pedicure with my mom and sister due to being short staffed. So I got my manicure. The guy didnt finish taking off my previous work done on my nails, nails are extremely crooked and I left with glue all over my hands. My mom just wanted a clear coat that they charged me $25 for and they didnt even shape her nails! Went to pay out, totally disappointed with the job done. Mind you I still left a tip and the lady told me that the tip wasnt enough. That they all 3 shared the tip. I was in shock. $15 on $120 isnt 20% but look at our nails. Ridiculous! I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. EVER! Mind you nothing was 20% off, its just something to get you through the door.

Abi Suazo Johnny always does an amazing Job! He did my birthday nails for me & I couldn’t be happier!! And can you believe these are my NATURAL nails!!

Brenda Cantu I got shellac on my hands.. it barley lasted ONE week. Also I got a pedicure and the girl there made me bleed a lot… that’s not safe at all! After my pedicure she stored all the tools away without cleaning them. It looks dirty in there. Never going back what a waste of money..

Alexis Marie Kim was amazing! She did a wonderful job on my nails for my upcoming vacation. I came in about an hour and a half before close and they took me no problem. I had never been to this nail salon before. I highly recommend them! I will be back here again. I believe Judy is the name of the nail tech that did my pedicure. She was amazing as well. She was very attentive and thorough with my pedicure which I appreciated!

lilmissann Always professional service and such friendly workers! They always pay attention to detail! I can literally them a color and Johnny will run with his ideas and always comes out so beautiful!

Scout Pels I love going to get my pedicures here. I am from port an and we only have two places that are either really expensive or not very great. Every time I ask for something specific they do it no problem. And the pricing is amazing. I’ve never got my finger nails done there but I’m sure it’s the same. They are talented and very kind. I will recommend them to every one In I know! Thank you so much again!! Sorry for the weird foot pic but I just want to show the work that was done for me in such a timely manner. 10/10

Blakeee Botha Always exceptional service and remembers me even when I last came in a few months ago I always love my nails and they clean it up well

FeeFee McEvans Great service, free beverages, quick service. Was here on vacation and she was perfect. Only thing that i was bothered by was the $15 uncharge for gel polish... but thats at alot of places so I still give them 5 stars

chad moore Nice people! Pedicure was really nice and relaxing but didnt get my bunions ground down! So if your looking for alot of foliation not the spot but nails and massage perfect!

Kim Nguyen We’ve been going here for pedicures for years. I really loved the hand painted cherry blossoms. It added such a lovely touch to my pedicure.

Brianna She was the best person that had done my nails, the last person that did them at a different place was ruff and going very fast. She wasnt in a rush and was very gentle

Lucy Turnbaugh I love this nail spot. The one woman who works there is so nice, accommodating, and friendly to chat with. I got a full set of acrylic with gel polish and they came out phenomenal, not thick and clumpy at all, really thin and gorgeous. I would absolutely recommend this place, just know coming in that there is only one employee at the moment so you either need to be patient or make an appointment. 10 out of 10.

Holly Miller Ive been coming here for years. Love the service! Lots of colors for nails in regular polish, shellac, dip and acrylics. Waxing services available. They can almost always accommodate walk-ins too.

Melinda Licon Great atmosphere and everyone is so friendly. The most amazing technicians. Top nail techs to ask for are Phillip, Julie and Destiny. You will not be disappointed. Owner Tommy is always on site and he does nails too!

bridget macias Very bubbly nails. I understand they are short and that is why the guy who did them said they are fat but let me tell you that I normally get my nails done this short and they are never fat! I asked for square with sharp edges and I got round! I used to live in corpus and would always go to golden nails so I looked forward to them and I am disappointed. 3 days later by the way and they are chipping and lifting. The guy who did them must be new or something because the prep was awful and he just drilled away my cuticles and didnt even ask me to rinse my hand with water before the clear coat. That or the products are cheap… Before these awful nails I had a full set on that I had for about a month with no chipping, no lifting and all in perfect condition and still shiny but I got them done in Austin Texas (where I will continue to get them done). The only thing was they were grown and ready for a new set. I will not be going to golden nails again.

Tanya Valdez I was excited to get my nails done and asked for a very simple look. I wanted a more natural square look and emphasized that request. I also asked for a simple cat eye gel design. The guy doing my nails was very rough, didn’t say a word to me the entire time, and didn’t know how to use cat eye gel. I kept asking him to go shorter, and he said the design won’t work on short nails (which is not true). He didn’t even put cuticle oil on me, which I thought was the norm. They came out too long, very thick, and much wider than my fingers or what I asked. I kept hiding my hands because they looked bad. I still gave a tip, because that’s what I do, but decided that was the first and last time I was going there. This picture is about 7 days after getting them done. I kept filing down the edges that would scratch me.

Bavaria Heckenbach Honestly if I could leave 0 stars I would. I came in to get a soak off and a polish change on my toes and left only getting the soak off and very dissatisfied. I came for the first time because they got recommended to me and I liked the shape of my friend’s nails and will 1000% will never be coming back or recommending this place to anyone. The nail tech I believe Long was his name was trying to pop off my nails using acrylic tips and even after I expressed to him that it was painful because I felt him ripping my nail! He finally did a normal soak off after the third nail where I continued telling him it was painful and giggled while saying sorry when I dont think ripping my nail bed to the point where I’m bleeding is a laughing matter. Still made me pay for the take off and didn’t apologize once or offer any type of compensation just told me it was because my nails were too thin but then later said its because they were already ripped??? But when he soaked off the rest of them none of them were ripped nor do they feel too thin. I was trying to upload a picture but it is not letting me

Diane Cavazos This is not my usual place but they were recommended by a coworker. I started wearing acrylic overlays over my natural nails back about 3 months ago. The lady who started my nails said the next time I would need them replaced and I said ok. Some other finished me because her appointment showed up, which was no problem. I left happy. They were thin and they looked beautiful. After a few days, I saw some spots in my fingernails. They didn’t hurt, so I thought they were ink stains showing through my polish except they wouldn’t wash out. Didn’t think anything of it. Went back to my usual place, because of convenience and he said the stains were from water seeping through the acrylic, probably because they were so thin. Golden Nails should have told me I needed replacements at that time or shouldn’t have made them so thin. Now I know better and hopefully anyone reading this now knows what I learned. Replace often and don’t make them so thin.

Stephanie Powers To say I love this place is an understatement, my daughter and I have been coming to this amazing place for well over 10 years or so and even after we moved over 40 minutes away I still return to have my full sets and pedicures along with brow wax here at Perfect Nails! Kathy, Kim, Belle, Amanda and everyone else have always been so beautiful and amazing with what they do for us. Besides being the most wonderful women they are just perfect as they are. Even when I hadn’t been into the salon I came in almost a year later and still received the same kind treatment I always receive. You won’t be disappointed! Always get what I need here! Atmosphere is great as well!

Jaelly Longoria Bella did an amazing job!! Love how fast, professional and precise her work is. Will return for future services.

Audra Munguia I was in a hurry & this happened to be the place next to my home so I ended up going & getting a French tip & although the guy didn’t know I was kinda in a rush, he was done in a timely manner & even sang a little bit, which was soothing to me, while he did my nails. Mostly because he didn’t have bad vocals at all & I was ready for a nap . Only thing I disliked was that the AC wasn’t on when I went in, but after 2 other customers went in after me, they turned it on & then put a movie on. It’s been 2 weeks tho & ALL my nails are STILL on & I be busting down in the kitchen w cooking & cleaning & has expected to lose at least one by now. It’s already time to redo them actually. I recommend this place if you want nails that stay on for awhile.

Carmen Bingaman I havent visited this place in 8 years! They did an awesome job on my nails. This is my first time getting SNS, and I will be sure to be back. Perfect Nails has great customer service too which is hard to find when a nail salon is busy. Kathy is awesome and so is Linh.

Angie Always great, friendly, professional service. Clean, up-to-date products and services and great staff.

Susan D Nice salon. I appreciate David (owner) and Maria. Consider their original salon Porcelain Nails out Everhart past Saratoga if you live in the south side.

J M Sample Very nice decor & relaxing atmosphere. I thought the pedicures were a little pricey. But she did a very good job & was friendly without being irritating. 10 pedicure chairs & 2 children pedicure chairs.

paula blivin Queen Nails is the best! Aside from doing outstanding work - they book appointments and stick to the appointment time. They only take a walk in if they truly have someone who doesn’t have a client - otherwise they give you a time to come back - unlike most salons who say yes to everyone - and then leave everyone waiting. Queen Nails recognizes the value of your time and books their clients and walking accordingly! Love this place!

Alana C Very clean, super friendly. Not at all expensive and short wait times. The best experience I’ve had getting my nails done.

Geneva Hobbs The first time visiting Classy Nails, we were impressed with the decorations of the salon. All products were in sterilized packaging. Area super clean and relaxing environment. I was a walk-in and I was taken in immediately. I really appreciate the attention to detail and my satisfaction during the entire process. Will be returning!

Adrianna DeLeon i recommend jolie and the salon to everyone :) i got 3 of my close friends to get their services done here. I’ve been going here since last year and it never disappoints. ❤️ love the environment and affordable services.

Karen Gonzalez I usually have good a good experience here with quality work. This time, not so much. I got a gelx pedicure and the polish in 3of my toenails came out in less than 3 days. Also the man who was doing my nails burned my toe with their machine. Didnt apologize or anything eventhough he saw that he hurt me. He just kept on spraying alcohol on my toe. Thats never happened before. Im not confrontational so I didnt call them to get the issues resolved. Based on other reviews, if you do call, they give you issues and give you the mean look. Due to this Im afraid to ask them to fix them. I Normally spend over 200 dollars per visit since I always bring someone with me. After this experience, I dont think I will recommend them again. *edit* After I posted this. They gave me a call and offered to fix my nails, but unfortunately, I couldnt go back.

Alison Gilbert Very impressed with the quality of service, cleanliness, and overall design and environment. This is officially my new nail salon! Their prices are very competitive.

Lexie M. Went in December 20th a bit later in the evening, around 6:30 or so. My friend and I were quickly and I mean QUICKLY rushed to pick out our nail color by an older woman. We were instructed to sit on opposite sides of the room with my friends back to me. I would have preferred to sit with my friends to get our nails done together but I do understand if it’s a matter of their personal stations. Nevertheless, I was picking my shellac color off the little slides they have. They basically picked my color for me after looking for a few minutes, overhearing me say turquoise and then her son just placing 2 color options to choose from. I proceeded with the nails anyway as I felt as I was being rushed, even though their closing time was 8 o clock. The color itself wasn’t that bad even though it’s not at all what I hoped for but the nails themselves were horrible. Bubbles underneath, the polish didn’t even reach the bottoms of my nails toward the cuticle nor toward the side of the nail. Huge gaps of empty nail. Not to mention she hardly cut and cleaned up my cuticles or nails before paining. My nails began peeling and chipping within a day. My friend’s nail tech was amazing. She is a young woman, trying to be a traveling nurse: She talked to her throughout, gave her a great set of nails, and took her time. We both only got shellac polish and when my nails were done, I walked over to my friend’s surprise at how fast I was done. I’m not sure I’ll ever be back but if I do, I hope to get the artist my friend got!

Keren Garza I am honestly very disappointed and dissatisfied with the service. I am very picky but I can work around some things but this was unacceptable. I did an overlay on my nails which I think they were long enough to do it, but I believe that if the guy couldn’t do it they should have told me they couldn’t do an overlay to do SNS. Within the same day and maybe 2 hours later my nail completely popped off my nail. He tried to fix the all product all over my cuticle but you can see that it was cut and not filled properly. I am not returning back.

Alexis Lyle not at all what i wanted! my nails are already lifting and i just got them done wednesday. she was so rough with my nails. they are way to over dipped. i paid 85 dollars for this set! i am not happy!!

Danielle Gonzales Had both a pedi and mani done…. Employees were great however their work was not even subpar. Close to 200 dollars later I left with polish all over my cuticles with my nails set with debris from towels and nail drill dust. Hate leaving bad review but for what I paid i should have been satisfied

Kristina Kovanda First time here. Kim and Jonny are incredibly welcoming to their salon. Very clean with tons of color options. Massage and hot stones were so relaxing! Good prices. Hope to update to 5 star if mani/pedi last 3-4 weeks! Update- manicure only lasted one week. Wont be back.

Mz Mac Came to get a $56 gel fill from Vanessa who did an absolute amazing job and understood the assignment on my mail shape. I will most definitely be back. I love the atmosphere, the cleanliness of the establishment and the staff customer service.

April Linan This place is very underrated i feel, i went for my first time today and when i left i was SO relaxed.. when i walked in it was very quiet and the receptionist welcomed me in and offered me a beverage i got the iced coffee (it was actually very good). the pedicure room is very different from other salons in corpus, its very dim (there’s a light over your feet) the chairs were SO comfortable i felt like i melted in! & they also gave me a warmed up neck pillow as well! :) i got the luxury escapes pedicure from danny and it was worth every dollar! they’ve definitely gained a new client! 10/10

Dar Osberg I love this place’s ambiance, the quality of work and service is wonderful. However, since they first opened, it used to be nice and quiet and relaxing, now there’s usually kids wining while mom gets her pedicure or climbing around in the chairs which I don’t appreciate. I know sometimes you have to have your kids with you but I’d gladly pay more to have an adult only experience. With that being said. I will definitely keep coming here because the staff are wonderful and the quality of service is stellar.

Hannah beck This is my new favorite place!!! It was such a nice experience and they were fast and very gentle which is something I’m picky about when getting manicures. The coffee was really good and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely will keep coming here.

Radlil Nguyen This is my 3rd time getting Gel X by Nisa and I have to say they never disappoint. My nails always come out exactly the way I wanted them to and lasted a whole month. The appointment system they have make it convenient and stress-free to have my nails done and pamper myself. The relaxing music, the dim light pedicure room, and the steady flow of the salon give me such a cozy and zen vibe that I can’t find anywhere else in town. For drinks, I recommend the Iced Vietnamese Coffee and Iced Matcha. Overall, 10/10 recommend, like LITERALLY.

Savanna Castillo Vy took very good care of me and got my ingrown toenails out! Enjoyed getting pampered by you ladies! Thank you very much!

Robert Trevino My daughter loves their services and friendly staff. Miss Tina always does a marvelous manicure. Gotta love the free candies as well

Michelle Recio Super cute nails! Tina took me out of my comfort zone and amazed me with a style and color that made my hands look amazing❤️ highly recommend!

Bianca Guardiola Ladies were in a rush, multi-tasking back and forth. I have been there 2x now and the same girl who does my nails is rough, cut my finger, was almost not going to apologize, and we left with our nails sharp-I think they still needed to be filed. They have affordable prices, but I did not like the customer service. No beverages offered both times I was there. Will not be back.

Lillianna Loved my nails looks exactly like the pictured i showed! Amazing service!! Thank you Tina

Julyn Gomez Gossip is always my choice of place when doing my toes and nails! The staff is respectful and professional. I dont ever have issues here! They have a vast selection of colors and pricing is extremely fair!

Elena A I have been going to this place for many years. I have done many manicures and pedicures by my nail tech.Moch, she’s amazing always knows what to do today she gave me one of her original designs that she did buy and it’s not a sticker. Here’s a picture. Love it. Great job.

Kristina Kovanda Anna is the BEST. Gel lasts longer than I should allow...4-6 weeks. Rarely get even a chip. Fair prices for amazing results.

Adolfo Calero My wife made me get a pedicure. I enjoyed the regular pedicure and the feet massage. We’ll be back.

Sydni Collette Gossip nails has been my go to for almost 4 years now. I have always gotten exactly what I expect and I leave happy every time. Much is my personal favorite. Everyone who works in the shop is so kind and always greets me with a smile! Best nail shop in Corpus Christi.

Samantha Schepers Best salon in Corpus Christi! Absolutely love my nails, and they always take such good care of us. Amy is the best!

Linda Smith I LOVE Havanna Nails. Teddy and Amy are the BEST! My nails and feet always look amazing. I constantly get compliments on my nails. They are so welcoming and make sure each person feels comfortable and well taken care of

Nathan Andrews Took our daughter here for a mom and daughter pedicure for her 9th birthday. After paying, they gave her a free manicure because it was her birthday. Really enjoyable experience. Asked I needed a drink while I waited, very nice and reasonable pricing. Thank you!

Kerri Allen Amy and everyone at Havana Nails were wonderful! We had amazing service on all 9 of our ladies of all ages. Amy’s art skills are top notch. I highly recommend them.

Jane Brockardt I have been here twice and both times extremely pleased. Amy was wonderful as was Teddy. He tried something that was new to me and I loved it. Please give them a try.

RM Villarreal This is an amazing place to get your nails done . Tu always does my nail just the way I love them . I always get compliments on them. I highly suggest you go to the nail salon.

Margo Dekoch Absolutely love Elation Nails! Have been a costumer for 12+ years and come by every time I’m back in town.

Makayla Rae Medina Awesome nail shop! So clean, great staff, and amazing prices! Tu did amazing on my nails. Beyond satisfied and would recommend to anyone in Corpus Christi!

Alex Morales Always a good experience! Love my pedicure.

Mia Villarreal Absolutely LOVE how my nails came out. Super fast service, but they also made sure to pay attention to detail. Definitely recommended!!

Danielle Cantu First time going, and I left beyond satisfied with my nails. The tech took her time, and shaped them perfectly. I will definitely be returning.

Jesi Clark Went in today needing a replacement on old sns nails, I had decided on a simple full set with a pink glitter french manicure, but the nail tech recommended other colors and Im really glad I went with her advice! She did a beautiful set and added some details she thought would be cute. (Which upcharged a little bit but that was okay with me) Fair warning I wasnt really asked beforehand, but Im glad I let her because they came out so cute! Ill definitely be back for a fill/touch up when I need to. The place was super clean and the fumes werent bad at all, Im 38 weeks pregnant and wasnt bothered.

Sonia Duran Best pedicure Ive ever had. The massage was out of this world and they were very detailed. My pedicure is perfect and Im super relaxed.
