Nail Tek

I enjoyed myself here. Walked right in about 10 till 6 and got taken care of right away. There was another person there but she was just about done. The younger lady spoke very good English and talked to me about taking care of my nails. She suggested a powder dip no color with color polish over. It looks very nice and natural. The décor is a little bare and it’s in a small strip mall next door to a laundry mat. Very small. Overall I like my nails and I also had a color change on my toe nails and my polish job is great. Now a days it’s hard to even get a decent toe nail job. I’ll be back here, the service is good and prices are reasonable not to mention she did a great job. I can do without the frills of wine and tequila spa pedicures.

Great place to get your nails done at for reasonable prices! They were very friendly, sweet and willing to take care of you!

This is one of the best kept secrets in the area. Ivey, her sister and husband are very professional and FRIENDLY! I adore them and Ivey is extremely knowledgable about the care of nails and skin. I have gotten great tips from Ivey that works well. My friend is a «nail salon snob» but decided to try the salon out after hearing how pleased I was and she immediately loved the service and Ivey.

Evelyn was so nice! She took me, a walk-​in, 15 mins before close on an icy snow day. (I thought they were open till 7 but they close at 5 on Sundays) She did an amazing job with my nails and even took the time to answer any and all of my questions. I don’t remember he name of the woman who waxed my eyebrows but also a wonderful experience, considering she was ripping the hair off my face. :) I will definitely be back in to see Evelyn but maybe not so close to closing time. I recommend this place 100%! Clean, friendly and knowledgeable.

The new owners are great! This salon is clean, the staff are friendly, and they did a wonderful job on my pedicure. The location is very convenient for me, and I will definitely go again.

Under New Ownership! Evelyn and Ivy are AMAZING.
Honestly, I’ve had my nails done in Philly for over 12 years and moving back to Dallas, I was a bit worried where I would be able to go. I found Nail Tek in UnilocalLand and headed over around 6ish on a lonely Thursday night. Their hours were marked until 6pm. Bummer. I walked away, and then Evelyn opened the door to see what I needed. I only wanted a manicure and she said it was no problem. I asked for a possible pedi as well and still, no problem. Wait, I asked,…do you take credit card? Again, no problem.
I sat in the pedi chair with Evelyn at my feet and Ivy at my hands and we had a great time. They’re very chatting and so nice and welcoming. They just bought the place from the previous owner and are pretty excited to get the place going. Total Cost for pedi and mani $ 32
Pros:
Great Price
Comprehensive Waxing services
Great Customer Service
Take Credit Card
Clean/​Sterile
Cons:
Potentially Limited Hours

Nail Tek is around the corner from my house and I’ve been going here for years. It is kind of a dive, but they do decent work. My favorite nail tech here is Kay (she gets 5 stars, but I’m not just reviewing her). She does an incredible leg/​foot and arm/​hand massage. Her paint job is also always impeccably neat and lasts forever. We keep it old school simple without the designs.
The other techs are not as thorough, but make an appointment or it is unlikely you will get Kay. The regulars know she is the one to request and we all make appointments. I always have her do both my hands and feet. It annoys me to have two or three people working on my nails at the same time. It makes me feel rushed.
What I really dislike about Nail Tek is the noise. They always have the radio (with commercials… not satellite radio) AND the TV on. The TV is usually playing a Vietnamese soap opera. I am very sensitive to noise, and having these two conflicting sounds KILLS the spa experience. They really need to pick one, get satellite radio, or play spa type CD’s.
Bring cash for your tip because they won’t allow you to add it to your credit card. Also, this place has a ‘store dog’ named Jayden. I think he is adorable, but if a dog at the nail salon is going to bother you then this is not a good place to go.
