Van’s Nails & Spa

I have followed Van’s Nails around San Antonio as they moved to different locations over the years… what can I say other than if they were not incredible I wouldn’t be celebrating my 20 year Anniversary with them this 2016 year. I never have to wait, in an hour I’m in and out. Natalie has been my gal for most of these years, she’s consistently good, my nails look perfect every time and I thoroughly enjoy my Pedicures, especially the deep massage they all take the time to do on my legs and feet… thanks to all and Happy Anniversary!

DISAPPOINTED!!! I ended up paying a lot for the fastest pedicure I’ve ever had in my life. The polish didn’t even last a week. Very low quality

I’m so glad I decided to stop here…
I had an appointment with another salon and had a terrible experience at Asiano (right next door) so I called Van’s Nails & Spa and they said they could take me in. Awesome.
Okay, so honestly I wasn’t in the best of moods and just wanted the entire process to be over but Tina was so sweet and made me smile. She took her time with my nails and they came out perfect.
Inside– it’s not too fancy but it’s clean and simple. Chairs are extremely comfortable. There wasn’t a receptionist but I was greeted by Tina who was finishing up with a customer. Tina apologize for me waiting for 5 minutes (5 min is nothing) and immediately started showing me colors and choices.
I loved the customer service that was provided. It really makes a difference when the staff are friendly and professional. Makes the experience a lot more relaxing :)
I definitely recommend Tina to anyone who wants someone sweet and patient. Also, very detailed. My shellac nails look amazing! She was also extremely gentle with my hands which I appreciated.

I have NEVER! !!EVER!!have had such a horrible experience. «note pics I’ve included.
I went in on Saturday 2-​6-​2016 my appointment was a 630pm
I had 20 min wait, I’m okay with it not a big deal sometimes thing run behind schedule.
Then I meet my nail technician I state to her that I am looking to get American tip nails she explains to me she has a better suggestion she decides to make her own nail tips which turned out horrible Crooked shaky absolutely disgusting! I explain to the tech I did not like the way it looks, so I added a color.
The tips of my nails are slanted the, color is an absolutely beautiful .bbut you can see where she did not paint all the way down there’s line. the acrylic does not hit my nail bed at all… looks like they’re two weeks old not only that 1 day old and a broken nail later .I am definitely never ever returning here.
Stay away!!! Waste of $$$
I have an appointment at Gorgeous Nails.
Where they charge way less and always do an awesome Job.
I only came here because of a group of friends I was joining for girls night out.

BEST PEDICURE I HAVE HAD!!!
Everyone is so nice and friendly, the atmosphere is perfection. So relaxed. Definitely making this my regular spot.

They are nice & convincing but quality stinks. I went for SILK NAILS & they laughed @ how I know how it’s done in NEW YORK! They tried & still charged me full price !
All the while they were laughing. Haha But the joke is on them CAUSE I am placing this review & I Will Never go 2 Any of their Shops. Plus they have limited knowledge of nail expertise So who has the last laugh!

I’ve been here twice with two different women who did my nails and both times they’ve cut me with their instruments — once the first time I was here, and twice my second visit. AND I’m pretty sure they don’t clean their tools between customers. Go somewhere else.

Pedi today was good — nail tech took her time. But mani was a disappointment — rushed and I was displeased with the technique for disinfecting cuticle nippers. Just a quick spray w a bottle labeled alcohol.

Stopped in this shop last night because it was in the same center as TWC. I am new to the area and am looking for a new place to get my nails done.
I have no idea what the woman’s name is that did my fill and fix because she didn’t introduce herself. I had jell polish on and she proceeded to file it off. She was leaving huge area’s. When I asked her if she was going to «get those» she gave a heavy sigh and filed more. The fill was so sloppy I couldn’t believe and when I asked her to fix things, she sighed or grunted. One nail was so poorly done, it looked as if there was a weeks growth. The new nail she applied is just ridiculous! I paid for the services, but was not happy to. I did not leave a tip and will never go back.
PS: I wanted to post pictures but wasn’t able to

I love the massage chairs here. I also like that I can get in and out quickly. I have had waxing pedicures and manicures done here.
The color selection is good for polishes. I usually use Opi. The manicures last well and that’s my biggest reason I go here. Also it’s close to my work so I can pop in on my lunch break.

I went on Tuesday. Girl kept coughing in my face. I asked her if she was sick she said no. 2 days later I have a horrible cold. Very unprofessional I mentioned her being sick to manager before and he said no it’s just allergies. I should take them my doctor bills.

This was our first time visiting this salon. We had an appointment at 12:30. There were four of us. We had to wait until 1:15 for one of us to get seated for our pedicures. I did not see them scrubbing out the tubs with sanitizer between customers. Then it was 1:30 and the second in our party got seated. They kept moving us around to finish our manis and pedis. My friend and I told the ladies working on our feet the water was cold and she said to us «we are too busy for you to have hot water». I told the lady doing my pedi that the Shellac on my big toe was uneven and did not cover the entire nail. She told me «Oh well, that is how it is supposed to be, that is ok. She did not offer to fix. The ladies are not friendly and rush. They forgot to do the mint lotion and towel on the pedi. For $ 350 we did not feel special and we will not return. I would not recommend this place.

The place was really cozy and clean. I didn’t have to wait long at all for services. Services I received were White tips $ 42 Pedicure $ 28 Nail Take-​Off $ 8. Pricey, but they did a fantastic job.

Ok ladies and gents! I have to start with this, I Have Never Been In This Place, HOWEVER my wife goes on the regular. When she comes back her nails look amazing! Yes I do notice my wife’s hands. It’s gotten to the point where I’m looking for random colors everywhere for her to try. My wife has made friends with the artists at this place and that is a good thing cuz she is skeptic about strangers. It’s been about 8 months now, and I’m actually thinking about joining my wife next time for my nails. But it’s going to take a lot of liquid courage!

In town for work and needed a quick brow wax. Detailed work. Loved the shape. Sweet staff. Easy parking. Open until 8 pm and only $ 8!

This is my go to spot for the last few years when I want a pedicure with no appointment. They are usually clean friendly and most importantly the pedicures were amazing. I have to say that since they’ve become more popular and crowded the service has gone downhill. The last few trips I’ve gotten a rushed pedicure lasting about 15 mins total! I went in yesterday to try again and got the worst pedicure of my life. That’s sad to say since this is the same place in which I’ve probably gotten the best pedicure of my life! Yesterday I got a girl I had never had before she did my pedicure so quickly and carelessly. She was talking on her phone the whole time and kept just pushing my feet back and forth going through the motions of the crappy half-​assed pedicure without saying a word to me the whole time. That was my last straw with this place! It’s affordable but I’d rather pay a little extra and find a place that I feel relaxed and my feet feel amazing afterwards. this place had me feeling pissy and anxious instead & my feet look and feel mediocre at best. take your business elsewhere!

My favorite place to get my nails done. I came here the first time about a month ago with a group of 5 and surprise they gave us a discount :) we had such a great time and all left very happy with the work the staff did. Ronny is my absolute favorite, he’s soooo great.

Clean, friendly, and good prices.

I don’t like to complain but i walked into this salon on a monday around 1:00 i was quickly rushed to get the fills i needed, and i looked around for their colors to choose from which i found were a small, limited O.P.I selection. The selection wasn’t that good considering half the bottles were empty. I got a girl named tammy who started to do my nails, she not only cut my cuticles and made me bleed. But when she applied the solar powder she left so much of it on the side, my skin was stuck after it dried. No she didn’t clean it up at all, i was very disappointed but overall they had a good, clean salon. Yes i was serviced quickly, but overall i wouldn’t go back.

The service here is becoming way too variable on the technician. I had shellac done last week and it’s already peeling up. About 3 of the technicians know what they are doing, but if you get any of the others it’s a pretty bad job. Also had a pedi and the polish was slapped on haphazardly and I probably could have done a better job myself.
