Mane Trendz

Madi did an amazing job on my hair and nails. I had a partial highlight, low light, and cut. I’m really picky about my hair, and have been searching for a good stylist after some bad experiences elsewhere. Madi takes her time and the results are perfect. I’ve received so many compliments on my hair and nails, and felt compelled to write a review. Go see Madi, she’s excellent!

I want to say I was pleased with the pedicure I received the 2 times I went. What I didn’t like was the atmosphere. They had a TV going and when having a pedicure I was used to being in a room with the pedicurist and it being nice and calm. I feel they need to arrange the salon so the manicure and pedicure area are not where the hair salon is, and have some nice soft music and NO TV. I cancelled my appointment and I won’t be back.

This place was beyond amazing! I haven’t had my hair done in a very long time because unfortunately I’ve had some pretty bad experiences at other places in the past but I decided to give this place a try. BEST decision! I let Georgina do whatever she thought was best and let her do her thing and I was NOT disappointed! She took the time to talk to me, see what my hair care routine was and what would work better with it and that helped her decide what would look better. I am so happy with this place and will most definitely be returning!

I absolutely love this place, I had such a great experience. My hair stylist Cyrell is by far the best colorist I ever had. I told her what I wanted and she gave it to me. What I love about her the most was how honest she was. I originally wanted my hair a lavender color but I changed it to a beautiful violet because I told her that I was concerned with getting a hair color that wouldn’t last long. It’s been a month and its still vibrant as ever.

Maddie was amazing! Went in for mani and pedi and she was very detailed with the polish and filing. The experience was so relaxing! Definitely coming back and recommending it to others.

Got a Groupon after I called and spoke to the lady at the salon, who was super nice and answered all my questions. I Had an appointment with Georgina, but when I came in she wasn’t there so this other lady did my Japanese Hair Treatment. She never introduced herself, so I have no idea what her name is. As I was leaving i was pleased with my new soft hair, only to find out 2 days later after washing it that my hair was burnt all over. It’s impossible to brush through whether it’s wet or dry. What I went for — Japanese hair treatment that was supposed to leave my hair smooth and silky turned out to be a huge puff of burnt hair. I was hoping to give up on flat iron for a while since This treatment was supposed to leave my hair straight and not frizzy, but at the end I can not walk out of the house unless I straightened my hair. I’ve done Brazilian Blowout before and was absolutely impressed with the results, so I was told this Treatment will bring the same effect or better, but it turned out to be a nightmare. Needless to say I’m stuck with this hair until it grows out or I have to completely chop off my hair which I’m not about to do. Very disappointed.

I’m about to get personal here. I purchased a Groupon for a brazilian for only $ 25! Okay, I’ve gone to some specialty waxing studios around Austin and have paid almost twice that. When I saw that this was only listed at $ 25 I jumped on it.
Keep in mind, a Brazilian is never a thing that I really look forward to. I mean, I can think of 10 things I would rather do on a Sunday than let a stranger see me half naked and have hair ripped from it’s follicle with hot wax in my lady regions. Alas, I have nothing but good things to say about my experience at Mane Trendz. Ale was my esthetician who guided me through the process and I have nothing but good things to say about her.
She was so professional, she knew her stuff and used a combo of hard and soft wax to get the job done. I never felt uncomfortable or awkward, she made great conversation and I was even laughing for a bit. She’s awesome, I’ll be back just to see her!

Wonderful shellac mani/​regular pedi in reclining (not typical «spa») chairs with heated neck wraps plus a wonderful massage and meticulous application of a great variety of colors= a great experience all around. Fabulous women, too! I will be back!

I have been going to Georgina for two years now and she is the only person I trust with my hair. The one time I attempted to go to someone else due to my scheduling never matching her availability, my hair became a disaster. As usual Georgina knew just how to fix it! Her salon is a cool spot to hangout for a few hours while you get your hair done. I get compliments all the time on my highlights so I definitely recommend her.

I bought a Groupon for this place because it was a really good deal, and I don’t normally «cheat on» my normal nail place, but it was a really good deal! With that said, I am sad that I cheated on my normal place.
The ladies at Mane Trendz were very nice, but the shellac main/​basic pedi was subpar. First off, they don’t have massage chairs, and they use a giant metal bucket for the water to put your feet in. It was just average and «eh» and I am a big fan of the massage chairs and the bubbly hot jet water, so when I walked in, I was already a little disappointed, but it wasn’t anything to be that upset over, so that was not «make or break» for me.
The shellac mani was what I had the most issue with. My shellac mani was terrible, and looks awful. It didn’t cover my whole nail, the sides didn’t have paint on them, and the tips don’t have polish on them either, you can see my nail, and the polish is not the same shade throughout the nail, it is almost ombré, but I did not want that at all. Furthermore, the polish is already chipping in less than a week, and some nails look «bubbly».
I also love getting massages on my hands and feet/​legs, but they didn’t do that, at least not on my hands/​arms, my legs were massaged and that was nice, but I think that was the best part of my experience.

I went to Mane Trendz on a Groupon for highlights and a cut. I have short hair and it’s been a long time since I’ve had highlights. It’s very close to my house in Manchaca and I really want to stop driving downtown for hair. My stylist Maddie did an ok job, but even after telling her several times that I do not ever use a round brush to style my hair, she used a round brush to style my hair. It did not look good at all and no one would think it did. It’s just too short for that. I went home and washed and restyled it with my fingers and diffuser, and it looks fine. I felt she was either new to hair or just not confident. As it was a groupon and a good price, I’m ok with the results.
Few things for Mane Trendz to consider:
–lower the mirrors one foot at least. The shelf on the mirror hits a client across the middle of the face, it is impossible to see your entire neck and face without a shelf running through the middle of it. I’m getting my hair cut and want to see my whole face and neck without a horizontal shelf through the middle of it. The mirrors are tall and there is no reason for that.
–thank you for the wine, it’s a nice touch and I enjoyed it. Consider serving in a small cup rather than a tall plastic 24 oz iced tea cup.
–the other stylists were making fun of women’s hair that they see in HEB. I felt it unprofessional for them to laugh and make fun of women’s hair with a client sitting right there.

I’ve been in Austin for a little over 2 years and haven’t been able to find someone that I like enough to do my hair twice. I’ve gone to probably about 8 different cosmetologists (I’m pretty picky) and finally I found someone that does my hair perfectly and gives me great tips on how to keep my hair healthy plus she’s super nice and the prices are pretty reasonable, which definitely doesn’t hurt. I lighten my hair to blonde (natural brunette) and have hair on the thinner side so it definitely needs some extra love. I’ve gone to Georgina twice now and have already booked my next appointment with her. Highly recommend

My 11 year old daughter is autistic and has incredibly curly hair. Her scalp is very sensitive so combing, washing, pulling her hair back, it always felt like we were torturing her. I brought her to Mane Trendz to get the straightening treatment done and the results are incredible! Georgiana was amazing with my daughter and very talented. My daughter and I are so happy with her hair and it means the world to me that she finally likes how she looks.

I was in the Buda area for a wedding last Halloween (2015) and visited Mane Trendz to get my hair cut and styled the day of the wedding. The stylist (I wish that I could remember her name) did an amazing job on my hair – it’s short with a couple of really difficult cowlicks – and the style stayed for a little over a month which is really incredible for short hair styles. They were super friendly and asked a bunch of questions to make sure we were on the same page regarding my hair. I would absolutely love to go back if it didn’t require a day and a half of driving or a flight from Iowa.
If you’re looking a for quality and courtesy definitely check this place out.

My hair color is beautiful, as always. Thank you Georgina! I drive 20+ miles to have Georgina do my hair and have done so for years. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Madeline did such a great job! She did a great job of blending my natural root color into a beautiful blonde. Excellent job on making a low maintenance hairstyle and color. I was looking for a new stylist and I believe I have found one. Very happy with the service.

I had Cyrell work on my hair and she did an amazing job. She was also very personable and easy to talk with since I was sitting in a chair for about 6 hours. I got a cut and bayalage done. She listens to what you want and gives you what your hair can handle with realistic expectations. After a few days of getting my hair done, I felt we needed to go a little darker on my bangs. She was more then happy to fit me in to basically make me a happy customer. Highly recommend this salon as they do top quality work.

I purchased a Groupon voucher for my wife to get a manicure and pedicure (as a gift), and this is a review of her experience. It took me a lot persuasion to convince my wife to allow me to post a review, partly because we’re not picky people, partly because she’s so nice, partly because my wife said the lady at the salon was really nice, but I insisted because she got what I consider to be a less-​than-​ideal experience.
Good:
–No problems using the Groupon voucher.
–Price was reasonable.
–Very friendly, personable.
–Small business, so more of a personal feel.
Not so good:
–It took a while to schedule an appointment. My wife and I both called a number of times over a week-​long period, and although we did hear back eventually, it did leave us wondering for a while. Apparently the person we were trying to contact had been ill during that time, which we know is out of their control, but it was part of the experience so I included it here as part of the review.
–Had to walk barefoot during and after she had her pedicure. They ran out of paper flip-​flops, so my wife had to walk barefoot from the foot bath to the table where they did her fingernails. She also had to walk barefoot to a sink where she had to scrub her own cuticles. It’s fine if they don’t have paper flip flops, but she was surprised that she didn’t get advance notice beforehand to bring her own (she came straight from a business meeting, so she wouldn’t have been wearing flip flops). Then at the end she had to walk to her car barefoot, so when she came home, she had to wash her feet, which was not something she expected to have to do after getting a manicure and pedicure.
–Her shellac manicure chipped after two days. Shellac is supposed to last longer than a normal polish. She got hers done on Friday afternoon and we’ve been at home literally the whole weekend. She hasn’t done any housework, I haven’t let her touch the dishes, clean, etc, and yet the chipping still occurred.

I was extremely impressed by Mane Trendz. It was a lovely experience and my mani/​pedi is beautiful and still looks great after two weeks! The staff was very friendly and the shop was really nice. Will definitely be going back.

I am always looking for good nail salons where the service is good, the prices are reasonable, the nail polish is good quality and I feel like it was actually relaxing. I bought a groupon for Mane Trendz for a mani /​pedi and I can say I have found my spot now. It was a great service — Georgina the owner was so nice and did a great job of both mani and pedi. It has been over three weeks and I am just now ready for a new pedi. I will be coming back and bringing friends! She offers many other services and I will be trying some other services too!

I was skeptical at first because I bought a cheap mani-​pedi here on Groupon, but I went away impressed.
I admit they are not fast, but this is officially the longest a manicure has ever lasted with only a single chip on my dominant hand (I got it 8+ days ago!)
The staff is sweet and fun to talk to, and they give lovely mani-​pedis. I will be back for sure.

I found this place on Groupon… (let her know about the Groupon but book directly through her, she deserves every penny) They had a great deal for a shellac mani and pedi, about half the cost of what I was paying around town. The online booking wasn’t working well as she had explained she had to take that feature off b/​c it didn’t work correctly but calling up there I got booked right in for the following monday. Found out its about 2 minutes from my house which is amazing!!! Walked in and her shop is so cute, very comfortable. The fact that I saw no massage beds with foot baths scared me but she then pulled out a metal bin with hot water to soak my feet in. It was different. Very classy tho, I enjoyed it. We got to talking and she introduced herself as the owner. It was very nice to be able to have full blown conversations with her. I also told her my concerns from my previous Manis about the shellac coming off within the next few days, she told me how to prevent it and made sure the polish went on in which a way that I could maintain. Her carefulness created a manicure that I absolutely adore. The polish is perfectly sitting on the nail, not touching any skin, not lumpy or defected in anyway. I am a perfectionist so when it comes to my nails but I have to look at everyday this is exceptional work. I have found my new Spa! Thanks Georgina, you’ve earned a loyal customer!
