Studio Nails

They are almost done and are doing good. I’m just getting a pedicure. The girls inside must have thought I was gay at first lol.

Before the new owners took over I would’ve gave this place a 5. However– they are very rude, very mediocre work and they upped the prices. I’ve been going here for almost 4 years, not anymore.

I wanted to get a pedicure so I decided to try a different place. Found studio nails on the Unilocal app and I decided to give it a try. I walked in the main lady (I’m guessing) asked me what I would like done I said a pedicure she told me to pick my color and I did so and sat down. I waited for about 20 mins and a couple came in. It was obvious the people in the shop knew them because the female customer stated that she had called but no one answered her phone call. She told them what service her and her husband would like and they started getting things ready. Instead of calling me to the pedicure chair they called the husband. I said out loud how long have I been here I believe I was next. Few minutes later they started talking in another language and then the «main lady» as she’s filing someone’s nails says ma’am I’m done your next. I sat there a little while longer hot up and walked out. I felt like I was overlooked and what good what it do me to yell and cuss someone out so I just left and I WILL NEVER COME BACK!

I am being nice by giving this place one star! Worst set of nails I’ve had in over 20 years. The lady was really nice but when I told her what was wrong with my nails she seemed offended and never fixed my crooked nails. I had to go home and fix and reshape them myself something I shouldn’t have to do. One of my nails was shorter than the rest of the set as well. Then I had a pedicure… I should have ran from there after the bad set of nails. The lady was very ruff and I have nice feet they don’t require a lot of work. She cut one of my nails short and crooked so had to do an overlay on my toe. Cut my skin while filing them. The overlay looked awful one bigger toe than the rest. I had to go home and file it down to match the rest of my toes. I should never have to go home and fix what I paid to get done because you couldn’t do basic services! The lady said she’s done nails for ten years… I can’t believe this is her skill level after all those years! I would never patronize this establishment again and I don’t recommend anyone else to go here unless you want poor quality crooked nails. She knew I was not happy and gave me a huge discount of $ 2. I almost forgot everything is going to cost more. I’d say my nails are average length and she charged me $ 8 more because she said that long costs more. They aren’t even long. This place is a rip off. I only stopped by because it was close to home. The place is filthy and needs a good cleaning and upgrade on top of some acrylic classes to improve skills. If it were possible to give zero stars that’s what they would get!

I found this business on Unilocal.It’s location is pretty convenient. Off 30 and close to the ATT stadium. I got a regular man-​pedi for $ 30. From Monday to Wednesday, you get $ 2 off. I went on a Sunday afternoon and they weren’t busy at the time, so two ladies worked on me. They were very efficient (took less than a hour to get done) and I am very satisfied with their service. They do nail design as well and I will give that a try next time.

After reading a few good Unilocal reviews I was excited to give this place a try. I just moved to Texas and work in that area so I stopped by after work to get my nails done and eyebrows waxed. I have been getting my nails done for 8 years and I have never been to a nail salon with such poor quality. When I walked in the salon was messy and dirty. I sat down and a lady that could speak very little English but was very nice started doing my nails. She said that my nails were too bad and had to remove my acrylic nails and put new back on. This had never happened to me and I think she was trying to make more money. I allowed her to take my nails off first and instead of soaking them or anything she just started ripping them off violently I was almost in tears. After that was over she put my nails on and I wanted white tips. You could see my ripped up nails under the clear acrylic and it looked like I attempted to do my own nails. I finally told her when she was done to just put color on them to cover them up and even the paint job wasn’t great. Needless to say I will not be going back!

I went in to Studio Nails after reading several reviews on Unilocal and was pleasantly surprised, I got a pedicure the first time and loved it. the second time I had my eyebrows done. The girl was kind enough to let me know that my eyebrows were uneven, to which I laughed and pointed out a scar I’m sure she saw… I have a good sense of humor and thought it was hilarious — and for $ 5 who am I to get all sensitive?
Been back for my eyebrows twice now and got a manicure a few days ago. thanks to the other reviewers who raved about it — I have a new salon :)
Took one star away because I wish they had more colors and the place looked a little less like it’s been there 20 years.

I found this place while looking for the gym. When I walked in I was skeptical because the place seemed a bit run down. I came during the week and there was no wait time. I have terrible in grown nails and the woman took good care of me. She convinced me to get white tips which I caved in. Good thing is that fill-​ins are only $ 11 Monday– Wednesday. I’ve come back twice and I have been taken very good care of. Prices are reasonable although nail polish selection is slim that is why I took one star away!

I just moved here from San Antonio for school, where I had an amazing nail tech. I was a bit bummed because I didn’t know if I was going to find someone like that here in this new city. I looked at my nails today and decided that I put it off long enough and went to brave this new place. I had a typical mani-​pedi and the things I’m going to talk about is, first of all the price ($ 28!!!) and second of all the service. The woman who did my nails was very friendly and I could understand her perfectly. She was gentle, careful and her massages to my legs and arms were AMAZING! I will definitely recommend this place to all of my friends. They do other services too like waxing (bikini and brows) and massage which I plan to get done the next time I am there. This p

I am happy to have found this place. My nails don’t lift like they did when i went to Elite Nail & Salon. I don’t like the shop near as much. It is ghetto. A little boy was jumping off a chair. A perfume salesman came in off the street. This salon is closer to our apt which is good. It is also close to the stadium Walmart. The young manicurist lady took extra time to wipe the edges of the nails w/​a brush dipped in remover. I was impressed. I felt royal when she did this! I am looking forward to going back. When I told her my nails tend to lift she went over them TWICE w/​primer and the nails stayed on. I put my nails in a lot of oil & dish water so she did a great job.

I was so saddened by Classy Nails off Cooper & Park Row that I couldn’t wait to get back to Studio Nails. Studio Nails is no where near as busy as Classy Nails, so you get more individualized attention at Studio Nails. At Classy Nails it is easy to be just reduced to a number.
In response to another customer’s review:
«Waited roughly 30 minutes. That wasn’t a deal breaker, just something to note” – go early morning on a Mon or Tues «if possible» they start at 9:00 AM.
«-Nail polish selection was terrible. Most were the junk stuff that you can buy at the drugstore. The bottles of OPI were all similar in shade and less than half full. If they are licensed, they can get fantastic prices on the good stuff… $ 4 a bottle. So why provide junk?”— I used to buy OPI from Trade Secret in the Parks Mall, but they are closed. There is another salon in he mall not far from the movie theatre that sells OPI. I have gotten older now so I just buy «Nicole» which is another division of OPI which is sold at Walmart. I bring my favorite color and OPI top coat and keep them in a small ziplock sandwich bag in either the glove compartment or my purse. I have never looked thru Studio Nails polish selection. It’s too bad they don’t have a good selection, but I would never know this. I used to be a manicurist. I mostly only wear the OPI/​Nicole line.
«-Both televisions were set to infomercials. Not exactly what I want to escape to.”— I’m not big on tv. I bring my ipad w/​my own music selection & Bose headphones, so if little children become annoying I can easily tune them out.
«-I could not understand the person doing my pedicure. Not quite a shocker at a nail salon, but I am pretty well versed in broken English and I could not understand her. The owner speaks very good English and yet the nail tech I had did not use her for any kind of translation.» ===Phuong does my nails. She has a limited ability so speak English, but we communicate well and she is always courteous. The owner of the shop is not as courteous, but i ignore her. Not everyone is courteous. Oh well! I don’t have to live w/​her!

I go to Avalon in Northpark Mall b/​c I can do other shopping there at high end stores, the salon is very upscale in design, and I can get to Whole Foods and Central Market by using just one day off from work. Phoung is very nice, but she is not «the most» capable nail tech. She can’t build acrylic nails w/​o gluing an artificial nail on 1^st, which I don’t like. I just want the acrylic part on my own natural nail no matter how bitten they are, shame on me! I don’t care that Phuong is not «the most talented» nail artist. I love the fact that she is kind, nice, caring, honest and has a soothing personality. She likes to buy knock off Louis bags:) Love me some Phuong! She always goes around the nail w/​a paint brush and acetone to remove any traces of polish that went outside the nail, even though none have. This is a nice attention to detail. Tami at Avalon is more talented and I don’t think she would ever need to go around the nail at the end, but she doesn’t and I miss this about Phoung’s service. Tami works in a busier salon so she would not necessarily take time to go around the nail even if you wanted her too. Phoung stays busy too though. I usually have to wait for her to finish someone.

Okay I’m not that type of girl that cares about her nails or whatever. I’ve never gotten a manicure before but only gotten like a couple of pedicures in my whole life! I dont like to waste money on unnecessary things and I consider my nails one of those unnecessary things. Up until now, I’m a working woman in the business world so I can spend money to pamper myself after a week of long hard work. lol
anyway, I came in today and got the best hospitality ever!!! Jeannine cares about her customers!!! she takes time to get to know them and time on painting the nails! she did a beautiful work on my toes!!! and the best part was that the price was affordable. The main reason why I never got into the whole pampering yourself before was because I always assumed they were a fortune!!! depends on where you go I guess…
but anyway, she did designs on my toes and even waxed my toes fr free because they were hairy and they bothered her lol. They didn’t bother me because nobody suck on my toes so I could care less. lol. jk!
I dont think you can get any better of a service if you go some place else. Jeannine is the best in town!!! I’m not kidding! I’m just really happy that there are nice people like her that are out there!

I love to write Unilocal reviews and I was really surprised to see that there were only two reviews on here!
I have been going to Studio Nails for YEARS now and I loveee it. I moved to Austin for college about 3 years ago and I still don’t go to anybody else for my eyebrows. I will literally hold off until my next trip to Arlington to visit my dad. I looked like a crazy woman with my eyebrows but I don’t trust anybody else with them.
The owner of the store– Jeanie, is HILARIOUS, the other two ratings were right about that. Every time I come in she is just so sweet and does such an amazing job, I don’t think that she gets enough credit because I know of a lot of nail salons in Arlington that I wished I never had went to. I also always get great advice from Jeanie about my nails, eyebrows. and my boyfriend!
The salon is right down the street from the new Dallas Cowboy’s Stadium and they just got new pedicure chairs (sooo comfy and nice!)
I recommend going to Jeanie because she does an amazing job and has prices you just can’t beat!

Nadine wasn’t kidding about the ‘being pretty so you get some action ‘advice handed out in Studio Nails. I have also heard friendly lectures on how «You’ve got to tell him exactly what you like. Men need help. If you want him to get it right, you have to tell him girl!» Pure comedy. The lady who hands out such advice is Jeannie. If you are feeling down, go visit her. She clearly runs the show at home and will gladly tell you how you should do the same.
They also do a decent pedicure. Its not the very best pedicure I’ve ever had but it is pretty good. Most importantly, its effective but gentle. No wincing in agony when they dig in your nail beds. They do a great job at getting the crud off your feet. There are tiny flaws in the polish application.
Today was a close girlie pal’s birthday and she wanted to get pedicures here. Not just any pedicures. She wanted a Texas flag theme. Well how often do you get to rock a Texas flag on your big toes? I decided I’d be a copycat. It came out pretty swell. Pictures posted. and we were told with a nice smile «Don’t you dare mess up that star until its dry! I’ll have to hurt you»
The blue light thing that’s supposed to harden your polish wasn’t working/​on so you just walk out when you’re done. Fine with me .
20 for pedicure, 5 bucks for design, plus 5 for tip = 30 bucks.
a manicure will run you an extra 8 with a pedicure.
No décor to speak of and the chair massager was shaking me a little too violently. 1 star gone. Flaws in polish application another star gone so three stars.
Would I go again? Nah, I have found two far better places since then. Check them out in my nail salon list.

Color me impressed! I never expected to find a nail salon so clean and so good in this part of town. My sister and I were driving down Collins looking for cheap pedicures. A few of the places we stopped at were reminiscent of the salons I visited in Indonesia, where the lady would pull out a tool kit which appeared to be comprised of rusty medieval torture devices, so we weren’t expecting much out of any of the salons in this part of town.
We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of Studio Nails. It’s located on Collins, next door to Pizza Patron. Just walking in, it was apparent that everything was clean and the equipment was new. Sterilization equipment was in plain view.
Prices were very reasonable. It was $ 20 for a pedicure, and I think it was only $ 8 more for a mani + pedi.
The best part of the experience, however, has to be the owner of this salon who did my pedicure. She did a great job and was hilarious. When I took off my shoes, she proclaimed that she’d been doing pedicures all day until 7 p.m. and that I had the first pair of pretty feet she’d seen. She then went on to describe how disgusting the feet of her previous clients were and the importance of maintaining beautiful feet. According to her philosophy, «No man will ever go down there if you have ugly feet.» She was full of this kind of advice about feet and life.
I highly recommend Studio Nails. It’s not the kind of place you’d be compelled to visit based on driving past it, but if you’re in Arlington, I really think it’s worth seeking this place out.
