QT Nails

Eh, QT nails is OK. The only reason I really chose QT nails was because of its proximity to my gym (it’s next to Anytime Fitness) and the fact that I really wanted a pedicure. I called ahead to schedule and spoke to a heavily accented Asian man, which made it difficult to ascertain as to whether or not we had the same time in mind or not. Regardless, I showed up for my appointment as scheduled and was greeted with a heavily accented Asian man and woman whom I could not for the life of me understand. Seriously?! I’ll go elsewhere just so I can understand plain English. A woman receiving a manicure had to translate for me.
So I grabbed a bottle of color and plopped down in the massage chair pointed out to me. The Asian man that was my pedicurist didn’t exactly speak to me since it became clear that I did not understand him worth a darn, and instead gestured. He did use clean, sanitized tools, which I am grateful for and was kind in the procedure of the pedicure, but the massage part (which is my favorite) was lacking and nearly non-​existent. Funny enough, after all the soaking, salt scrubbing, and beginning pedicure procedural stuff, he then handed me a menu asking me what I wanted. Uh, you’ve already touched on the main stuff, so I guess the cheapest option: basic pedicure, thanks. He seemed disappointed, but then again it felt like he asked me after he hit all the good stuff.
The end result of my pedicure was as expected: nails painted well and pretty but then he led me to a nail drying station where it felt like I got abandoned. Eventually I just got bored and insisted on leaving, even though my polish may not have dried sufficiently. Gotta say, I’m not a fan of the light dryer things, and I would have much preferred to just sit in the massage chair reading magazines. When I finally got up to leave, it seemed like a surprise to my pedicurist who then rang me up to leave. And leave I did, with no intention of trying QT nails again. Eh, whatever.

I have gone to QT Nails for a couple years. Their prices are comparable to other nail salons. The staff is friendly and very attentive. I am always pleased with the results. Obviously, since I have been going there for a couple of years, I would highly recommend them.

the worst experience and manicure ever. if you want to walk way with sahara dry hands and nails that look like your five year old did them go here! the place looked like it was run by a bunch of fifteen year old girls who were giggling, talking and messing with their phones and ipad’s the whole time. they charge $ 15 for a minimal basic manicure. I’ve never left a nail salon and did not tip, but today they are lucky I even paid.

I went to this nail salon because it’s right next to my office, and since I usually can’t make it back into the city in time before salons close, I gave this place a shot during my lunch break.
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of work that they did on my nails! Even though I just got a basic mani/​pedi, my massage was good and my polish turned out great. The basic mani/​pedi combo is a cool $ 42. Not as good as the $ 25 you can pay in Houston, but the price is about par for San Antonio.
My only complaint was that I said several times I needed to be back to work in an hour, and instead of having someone do my nails while I was getting my pedicure, I sat there staring at my watch while 3 techs watched TV on their laptops. In the end, I was glad the same guy did my nails because he did such a good job! I’d definitely recommend you stop in to QT Nails if you’re in the area or live/​work outside 1604.
