Pinky’s Nails

Not very impressed. This is the second time going to Pinky’s and both times I left less than satisfied. They charged me to remove the leftover bits of gel/​shelack nail polish I had on (about 4 – 5 fingers) at a price of 15 $ so I mentioned something and they still
charged me 7.50 $. Let me make a point to say the nails that had polish on them were already mostly off/​chipped. The girl was friendly and did a fine job but I left the appointments less than an hour ago and the nail polish they put on is already chipping!
Two days later I have two broken nails. I’ve done nothing out of the ordinary and the harshest thing I’ve probably done on my nails was typing on a keyboard. Let’s just say all and all I won’t be going back.

I got my nails done at Pinky’s two days ago. I wanted to go thru a couple days of activities before I reviewed.
I don’t normally get my nails done because they usually get botched and I get gun shy for the next time. But I was going away and wanted to try one last time before I gave up on nail salons completely. I called to ask a recommendation and the receptionist was very helpful in making my decision. I booked an appointment with Danny for fibreglass extensions.
I got there and was a bit confused on where it was. I realize it was down some stairs on the basement level and shared space with a hair salon too. The space was cool and when I walked in, Danny was setting up and ready for me.
I booked my appointment in the evening and, after reading other reviews, maybe it was the best time. There was one other client and nail tech and all 4 of us talked and giggled away. Danny was great with my nails, asking me if I felt any pain or discomfort. She gave me great suggestions on nail art and by the time it was done, I was so happy with my nails. Danny and Pinky’s restored my faith in nail salons.
Two days so far, and my nails still look and feel amazing. I’m definitely going back!

Nice location.

I moved to Austin, and I reallllly miss Pinky’s. I wish we had more time together. Killer nail art… hard to find places like that, even in the land of choice, the good ol’ US of A.

Their nail polish and designs are super fun and creative. But if you regularly get your nails done (with acrylic or otherwise) its best to stick with your regular nail esthetician.
I went for a refill of my acrylic and polish and the refill is wonky and too thick. The lighting is too dim and they really don’t have the tools to do a refill properly.
But I do absolutely love the designs and creativity that they have for the polish! That is unparallelled by any other place I’ve seen! i loved the design they did for me.
