Solar Nail Spa

Clean pretty friendly, but it cost me $ 30 dollars for a pedicure that didn’t last long (at all) and she didn’t do a very good job. Safe to say I won’t be back here for a pedicure.

I am very very picky about where I will pay to have my nails done. I am also very loyal. I went to the same amazing place in Denton for many years and I was looking for something comparable in quality and consistency. I know exactly how I want my nails done and it is very difficult to find someone with great attention to detail. I went here twice and saw someone who no longer works there and while he was OK in terms of quality, the nails kept coming off and that really should not happen with a good nail job. The next time I went, I saw a lady who absolutely should NOT be doing acrylic nails. They looked awful and I had to stay too long since she kept trying to fix them, the acrylic was not even at all and I had to fork over $ for an embarrassing set. Despite my hesitations, I went back again because I don’t like to hop locations and this place had such good reviews, I figured I’d give it a shot. I explained on the phone that I was very unhappy with my last set and I needed someone who was qualified to do a great job. They set me up with Viviane and I’ve now decided this is the nail place for me. Viviane is fantastic, has attention to detail, has a great personality and listens to me when I tell her what I’d like. Now that I’ve found someone who makes me happy with my nails, there’s no reason to go anywhere else. Thanks Viviane, you rock!

I was home for Father’s day and was looking for a great nail salon and my sister said try Solar Nail Spa, they were terrific, Kim did my fill-​in and Miy did eyebrow wax, she was lovely and friendly, I recommend this place, very nice people. Oh yeah, how could I forget the frozen Margarita’s and Mimosa’s.

I never write reviews on a nail salon until 2 weeks after my manicure because I expect a good shellac manicure to last that long. Duke did a shellac manicure and spa pedicure for me 2 weeks ago and did a very nice job. It did last the full 2 weeks and still looked quite good.

To all my girlfriends, whom I’ve personally recommended to solar nail spa and VIP nails on Broadway, I will never use them again. Jimmi doesn’t back promises made by his employees and refused to fix my nails that had cracked just days after I had them done. because I didn’t come back sat to get them fixed. I was out of town, and Sunday you are closed last night this entire town shut down early for bad weather. Pardon me… I told the tech not to do them too thin. She assured me she would fix them of they broke, well guess what they did and he told me he doesn’t care what she promised me. I will never use either of these businesses again after 5 years of business and I recommend the same to all of you. I will soon post a better nail salon option as a lot of you have inquired about where to get nails done in tyler. Solar Nail Spa and VIP

I go here all the time. The service is wonderful and the owner is very nice! All our best place in east texas to get your nails done!

The people who work here are wonderful, but Jimmy the owner is as shady as they come. I was loyal to this place for years but finally had enough. I was told a week and a half prior to the day that they weren’t taking appointments on a specific day. I got there when the doors opened only to find out that in fact they were taking appts and the person I wanted to do my nails was not available any time that day except for one specific hour. I called it to the owner’s attention and he basically smirked as if he didn’t care that I was frustrated. I won’t be back.

Best pedicure place in town! They pay very close attention to detail and have no problem customizing your experience! Love love love! I’ve been going for two years now they are consistent in their quality!

I have FINALLY found the BEST mani/​pedi salon in East Texas. Unfortunately it’s a little bit of a drive from my hometown of White Oak, but this nail spa has won over my business. I was very impressed with many things here! The staff is professional and they do not rush through their work. The ambiance is very serene and peaceful. They have iPads available at each pedicure chair. I opted for the Rose Petal Pedi and it was fabulous! What sealed the deal for me was the 1 week guarantee on shellac manicures. Finally a nail spa that takes pride in their work! I cannot wait to visit Solar Nails again!

After being told the wait was only twenty minutes I decided to stay for a pedicure. 45 minutes + later my service started. The lady did a nice job on my toes but only massaged one leg for less than two minutes. I told her she didn’t massage the other leg and she said she didn’t have time.
Yes, this is a regular nail salon but I’ve never heard of anyone not massaging or doing more in a pedicure. The lady gave me $ 2 off but I would have rather had the massage and relaxing experience.
The man who runs the place, Jimmy, is very professional but I will probably never return.

This is the best nail salon I’ve found in Tyler, and I’ve tried several in the past.
The staff is always friendly & courteous which, unfortunately, is not always the case in other salons — I found out the hard way.
I went here yesterday and had a wonderful tech named Sammie. She went above and beyond to make my experience a good one. I had an acrylic fill and she was very careful and meticulous. She was also very friendly and conversational, which is also a rare thing in a lot of similar salons.
Here are my favorite things about Solar Nail Spa:
The place is clean & very relaxing.
They offer complimentary wine or non-​alcoholic beverages.
There are large screen TV’s with captions so you can watch without all the noise. It’s always been on the Home & Garden network when I’ve been in there, which is nice.
The music is pleasant & at a nice, low level. Some places have the worst & loudest music blaring while this one is very unobtrusive. If you’re going to spend at least an hour of your time in a place, that is a big deal.
The sink/​washing area is always nice with plenty of clean towels on hand.
The owner, Jimmii, is always there to greet customers and keep things running smoothly. He is always pleasant and it is obvious that he cares about the customers.
They even offer online coupons for a lot of their services that you can just show them from your smartphone if you like. Their prices are already reasonable, so this is just a bonus.
I truly regret the few times I chose not go to this salon, because there are no others around here that even come close. I am now a very happy repeat customer! :)

I had to fly to Texas for a family medical emergency and had an extended stay. My French nails were in need of a fill so I researched nail facilities and decided to try Solar Nail Spa. I called in the morning and asked for a 2:00 appointment. Kim worked magic on my nails while I got to relax and enjoy some wine. Everything was clean and the staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend this business!
