Nail Time

I moved to the heights 3 days ago and needed my nails done because I had broken at least 2 unpacking. Ended up here because the first 4 places I called were either busy or did not have someone working that could do fill-​ins on a Sunday.
Pros: i called ahead and they took me as soon as I came in, mani and pedi were performed at the same time, decent color selection, massage chair, I really liked the shape of my nails and the repair on the broken one was pretty good.
Cons: Pricey — $ 80 total bill (excluding tip). $ 30 for a basic pedicure. (I am used to paying $ 25 for deluxe which includes paraffin, and scrub — this does not). $ 50 for fill and shellac and repair. I got home and after doing nothing (no shower/​dishwashing/​unpacking) my polish is lifted on 3 of the nails. I also notice that the white from my last fill is not covered by the color on the tips. Another con is that there was polish on my finger and tools from an in process manicure from another customer was used to get it off, not sure how sanitary that is.
Too expensive for polish to be lifting after 2 hours. Now I have to waste my time going back.
Update: I went back and they redid the shellac. 2 hours later it lifted again. (I have been doing shellac for years and this never happened, and they said the same thing) Went back a 3^rd time and just had them remove the polish all together and requested a refund. Was told to leave my number and they would call me back. I called back two days later and Lisa was very nice. She offered me $ 15 refund which she said was the cost of the shellac. I came back and they used regular polish on my nails, which of course starting chipping 2 days later.
So, 4 trips and $ 65 (not including tips) later, I have nails that I am not happy with.

I went here last week because it is close to work and wanted a place to go during lunch. I selected them on a whim and was not disappointed. The place is clean and cute. The nail technician was great. She even fixed a broken nail for me!
I will be back!

Great nail salon! Every Time I’ve been in Houston I’ve come here for a gel mani and pedi with my mom and sisters! Everyone is super polite and attentive. They pay great attention to detail and make sure your nails look amazing!

Yes! Go here! I just moved to The Heights. I needed a nail place weeks ago. On a Tuesday night, I finally had time. I walked in and was immediately greeted. Within seconds, Peter whisked me a spotless nail station. Spotless. No sign of dust. Floors were clean. The station itself was more than wiped down. Peter immediately began asking great questions about the type of nail service I liked. He graciously offered prices and allowed me time to make a decision. At 5:40 pm I chose to get a new set and shellac. We talked shaped. I selected «coffin.» Peter went right to work. He asked for my feedback every step of the way. From the thickness of the acrylic to the shape of all 10 nails. The salon closed at 7pm that day. I was comfortable with two coats of shellac. Peter insisted on three. He said it would look better. He was right. My service needed with cuticle oil and a hot towel. All supplies used on my nails were new. The drill was clean. He even brushed it down during my service. New towels were brought out multiple times. I will be back. Yes! Go here!

Lisa is one of the best facial experts Ive seen in town. I go to her every month to treat my pigmentation, pimples and other facial abnormalities. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and I wouldnt trust anyone else with my skin. She is even great with waxing eyebrows and facial hair.

Lisa does an absolutely fantastic job on eyebrows and eye lashes. The waxing process is smooth and painless. Quick and to the point. I got my eye lashes and brows tinted tonight and they look absolutely beautiful! It is so nice to be able to come in and get great shellac nails, pretty toes with matching polish, eye lashes and brows all in one place. Kuddos to these ladies for raising the bar!

This place is really clean and the staff is really friendly. I have been going there for over a year now. Lisa is great at waxing eyebrows and giving facials. My face has never looked better. She even does extraction. She is very helpful and gives you the best advice about products to use on your face. I definitely recommend this place!

Place us decent enough and price is not terrible for the area… my only area of concern is the level of cleanliness. It is very clean in general but I don’t think they do a good enough job to disinfect the tubs after each use. I would also prefer to see them use new nail files and clippers that are visibly pulled out of a sterilization wrapper. You won’t see that here. My last manicure the technician took off her glove to pick something out of her eye. She did not wash her hands or replace the glove. She wiped her hand on her coat and proceeded with my pedicure with a bare hand! That’s not very hygienic. I haven’t picked up infections or anything so I still continue to come but it makes me wonder…

Been going here for a couple of months. So impressed with my last manicure. My biggest pet peeve with shellac manicures is getting the polish on my cuticles and making it look sloppy. Michelle took time to make sure the polish was just perfect. Best shellac manicure I’ve ever had. I’m very picky about my nails. I always call ahead like an hour and let them know I’m on my way, and they have me seated as soon as I walk in the door.

Nail Time has the BEST shellac in town! It will last up to three weeks with no chips. You pay slightly more for this premium service but it is worth every penny!

I always go to Lisa to get my eyebrows waxed. She knows what she is doing and I love the results! She doesn’t make my eyebrow too thin or too thick. I definitely recommend going to her to get your eyebrows done!

I’m only rating 5 stars for Lisa. I only come here for waxing by Lisa. She’s one of the best esthetician I’ve ever came across. Her waxing process is quick yet unpainful and she does a terrific job every time! I recommend to go to her for either facial or waxing. You won’t be disappointed!

Love this place. Everyone is super nice and they really take their time! I was super pleased with both my medi and pedi. I’ll be going back!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I came to Nail Time because Citrus Nails had a long wait time and couldn’t spare wasting 30 minutes… I wish I waited.
I got a mani/​pedi and $ 47 down the drain. They did a horrible job! Didn’t clean up the cuticles and nails are so poorly filed they can snag a shirt. And even worse, my whole nails are any even polished. They completely missed the sides and it’s even noticeable with the neutral color I picked out.
On top of that, the technicians working on me treated me like I was a nuisance-​somehow I became they’re lazy step child sleeping on their couch and drinking all the booze!!! BTW… They don’t even serve you wine!!!
Go to Citrus Nails where they serve you wine, treat your right and make your nails look good. I really learned my lesson by not waiting…

I stopped by Nail Time because it’s close to where I live and has decent reviews. I came in on a Sunday afternoon and assumed there would be a wait time since I didn’t have an appointment.
I was greeted upon arrival and they let me know I could be seated immediately. There were quite a few people working there, which was a nice surprise.
They have a wide variety of OPI, Essie and Orly polishes to choose from. The salon appeared to be clean and well maintained.
They worked meticulously on my manicure and pedicure and did a great job. They were friendly and did not try to push extra services on me (which seems to happen all the time at other salons).
It did seem a little pricey.$ 47 for a regular mani/​pedi before tip, but I am satisfied with their quality of work and will visit them again the next time.

I have been searching for a nail salon for a very long time. I went in two weeks ago in desperate need of a fill. Ann was my nail technician and she did an absolutely fantastic job. I like very short and very thin natural looking nails and she did exactly that. the salon is quite pricey just for my cell I believe I paid around $ 55 and that does not include the gratitity. It’s true… you get what you pay for though so I will definitely be back.

I love it here, clean, quiet and so friendly!!! I have been using Amy every time and she never disappointed me–
She never rushes w/​me which I appreciate — as a hairdresser I appreciate through, she gets a 10 $ tip every time!!! Take care of them and they take care of you

I tried Nail Time today and had a lovely nail tech, Holly. The place was nice and clean but the result of my manicure was awful. The first polish was so streaky Holly removed it and started again. She switched polishes to OPI Bubble Bath and unfortunately its incredibly bubbled and looks terrible. I’m debating going back but that’s an awfully long time spent on a basic manicure. Plus it was $ 24 which seems high for the quality. I won’t be back.
So I went back to have my nails reprinted a few hours after posting this review. Three different nail techs, including the manager, collaborated in fixing my bubbled nails which resulted in a 37min reprinting job and… MORE BUBBLED POLISH! See my photos. Ridiculous.

Why have I not been here before? I am super happy that I came to this salon! !!! What made me come to this particular shop you ask… the other Unilocal reviews of course.
I fell in love with the décor as soon as I walked in as I was immediately greeted! !
I told Amy what I needed for the day and was immediately taken in for my pampering!
The staff is AMAZING! !!! Great customer service and I felt welcomed and like I have been going there for years.
This is my new nail salon! Amy does a great pedi and Amy B. Does an awesome full set

I have to say that I have NEVER been SO super impressed by a nail salon EVER! I have had bad experiences having my nails done that I never thought about doing it again; I normally ONLY go to then to have a pedi, and that’s it.
I found this new salon one day & on a whim (looking at how sad my nails looked) decided to check it out. I met Xuan (pronounced Swan) and was SO super impressed by her skills and talent. She is SUPER sweet and very friend and creative.
I knew in my mind when I walked in that I did NOT want to have a full set of nails done, I only wanted an overlay to strengthen my nails. As a matter fact as I left Wal-​Mart, I split my thumb nail practically all the way. I had a couple of nails that were off on the edges, and Xuan was able to rebuild my nails with just powder and shaped them beautifully.
We discussed at length what we should do for my nails (I have always done French and wanted to be adventurous); it was the day before Easter so we toyed around with the idea of something Easter themed. After some thought, I realized that the next day was Easter, and I did not really wanted to walk around the next two weeks with eggs or a bunny on my nails. After a mention of flowers she had done for someone, I mentioned that I did LOVE Stargazer Lillies and told her that I would just leave it in her hands.
I watched in amazement as she began the arduous and tedious artwork that would become Stargazer Lillies; they were perfect! It turns out she is quite the freaking artist and likes to get creative. My boyfriend was really impressed and even said I should keep up my nails now, lol. I HAD to return to Xuan, and again the last two times have been extremely phenomenal! I really just let her get down to business; she even directed me to Pinterest for ideas. I will NOT go to anyone else now; we have a relationship now that I am very happy with.
Sad to say I have not done a pedi yet but only because I am still babying my right foot which I broke about 8 mos ago and am still leery about doing it (I need to though cuz I miss it)
I think the price is reasonable too; the first time I saw her, my tab was like $ 50; this was, again, acryllic on all nails, 3 tip pieces & hard work to rebuild some nails and the detailed artwork; the refills have been around $ 35 which I think is reasonable given the detail, creativity and time spent.
I don’t want her to ever be TOO booked for me, but I HAVE to share her, I know, LOL. Definitely get in and get in with Xuan!
