Tic Tac Nails & Spa

Horrible service. Good nail color selection. I had to reshape my nails when I got home

I go to this salon because it’s convenient, right by my house. It’s «okay», nothing special. Today I went there for a mani/​pedi– simple, right? Well no, after almost an hour of waiting while my feet soaked in the water I asked for a towel and left. Upon arrival I was told to sit in a pedi chair– the water was started and it was HOT! I was trying to get anyone’s attention and finally someone came and adjusted it. After waiting (again– feet in water) for about 30 min I asked how much longer, I was told 5 min. After 5 min another technician came and turned on the bubbles and said 5 min. 15 min after that I still wasn’t attended. I asked how much longer it was going to be since I had been told 5 min so many times, again I was told 5 min. After 10 min I just had to leave. They gave me a towel and didn’t seem bothered or apologetic. Find a salon for service and quality, not convenience.

The manicures and pedicures I’ve received have been very professional. I have also had my eyebrows threaded and I think they do a great job. However, this is not a spa to go to if you’re in the mood to relax. The first time I went there they were showing movies which wasn’t too relaxing. They did a decent job on my nails so I thought I would try again. The next time I went they were playing some graphic shoot ‘em up movie. So not «spa like». Super intense and rather annoying.
I would say try them out, but not if you want a relaxing spa experience.

I got a shellac mani there yesterday and Ivy did a great job. She wasn’t very talkative which was good because I was only interested in zoning out at the time. I will be back

They’re liars and over priced. They’ll tell you one price before they start doing your nails and then charge you another price when they’re done.

my favorite nail shop in houston. the best. Everyone compliments my nails and i always tell them where i go and they love it. Serioulsy i have not found better. These people are nice, dont talk crap about you and take their time, no rushing on pedicures which is a huge pet peeve of mine. !!! They take their time and their prices are fair. Love this place!!! original location is my favorite on south post oak by the dollar store.

First time going there and I am very satisfied. I came in and got attended right away. The people were so nice. I got a mani and pedi done in an hour. Everything went great!

Very happy with the pedicure I received. It was $ 22 for the classic. The salon itself is very clean and organized. They have a bunch of OPI and Essie nail polishes from which to choose (those are my favorite brands). The staff is very nice as well. They offer complimentary wine here (thumbs up!!!) However, my wine tasted like grape juice, but my mom’s tasted like real wine. Maybe they thought I wasn’t of age?!

I have been going to this salon for a year now, but in the middle of my experience with them they went through a change in ownership or management. I followed the original owner to their new location, but still found to like the new woman owner at the initial location. So i continued to frequent the South Post Oak location. I get facials from the owner and she does a great job. I get pedicures from the new guys that work there and they do a wonderful job using more pressure which is nice. But the past two times i have been for a mani/​pedi by Lily have been the worst experience i have ever had getting a mani-​pedi. DO NOT LET LILY DO YOUR NAILS!
She is very rough and cut into my big toenail like she was performing surgery. She said that i had a hang nail that she needed to take out. I have NEVER had a hang nail before so i just trusted that she knew what she was doing. It took a couple days to heal. I unfortunately got stuck with her again the second (and last) time and she did the same bad service. She cut my toenail and tugged into my skin and kept pulling and pulling until it started bleeding. I told her that what she was really hurting me and if that was necessary. She seemed to get upset. Then she did it again on the other side of my big toe nail and yanked and tugged. I said okay that’s it! I can understand if i was in pain before the pedi and asked if they could find out the problem, but i have no issues giving myself a pedi at home and taking care of my own nails. I go to get a pedi to relax and be pampered and enjoy myself!!! I was so upset i told her i just wanted her to finish cleaning up the other nails, but i do not want color. She then sprayed the area that she just finished performing surgery on that was bleeding with alcohol which made it hurt even worse. Shaking my head i couldn’t believe what just happen. So she cut the rest of the toes very sloppy and massaged my calves as usual with oil and then proceeded to ask me for the whole price of the classic pedi at $ 22. I paid it without complaints because i didn’t want to get her in trouble with the boss, but i will never let her do my nails again. I have been putting neosporin on where she cut into it the past couple days and it hurts to sleep when my foot is laying on that toe. I would send a picture, but even my 4 year old could tell that she butchered it. It is getting better now because neosporin is a very good ointment, but i should NOT and i repeat NOT have had to go through this kind of treatment when people go to get mani/​pedi to RELAX & ENJOY themselves!!! WORSE PEDICURE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED!!!

Tic Tic Nails is the best nail salon I’ve found in the Houston area outside of a high-​end spa. I have been here about 7 or 8 times in the last year and have probably had my nails/​toes done by all of their employees at this point. I have no complaints about any of them.
The business is clean and the wait times are minimal, even during peak weekend hours. They offer customers free red & white wines and some bubbles, too, (think: Yellowtail, Franzia, and Andre varieties) which aren’t my favorite but I certainly won’t pass up a free drink, especially if I’m trying to unwind. They even notice when your glass is getting low and will offer refills. For the non-​alchy drinkers, they have various canned soda and bottled water.
There are 2 large TVs, each on opposite sides of the pedicure section. Each is usually playing a recent movie or TV show on the company’s Netflix account. Last time I was there one TV was showing back-​to-​back episodes of House of Cards and the other was playing the movie Valentine’s Day. The sound is turned very low, which is nice if you’re not interested in watching, but makes it difficult to follow along with the program because they do not turn on the closed captioning.
I have only received traditional manicures (non-​shellac or acryllic with no fancy designs) and pedicures from Tic Tac, so I cannot comment on other services. To me, a manicure is a manicure and I don’t go see them very often for one because I do a pretty bang-​up manicure myself and I’m pretty bad about somehow ruining my manicures within a couple hours of leaving the salon, which makes me feel like I’ve wasted money. With that said, they do a fine job, but I really LOVE pedicures and I think that is where the Tic Tac employees shine. The massage chairs are very comfortable and the water is perfectly hot. The employees are very liberal with the leg & foot massage and use a good amount of pressure, which makes me very happy. In the past I have been to others who I swear were trying to cause bruising on my legs and feet… Tic Tac has a variety of sugar scrubs. I’ve tried several and each has left me with silky legs and a pleasant scent after they scrub away all the dead cells. The hot stone treatment is wonderful, too, as is the hot wax. The combination of scrub, stone & wax can be a little pricey (around $ 40 I think) but worth it if you are looking to splurge. Something else worth mentioning is they do not use too much lotion, so you are not terribly greasy when leaving the salon.
I appreciate that the employees take their time and never try to rush my experience, but at some point I am ready to get out of there! The last time I was there for manicure + pedicure (performed simultaneously by 2 employees), it took nearly 2.5 hours from start to finish, and I think it is a little unrealistic to expect your customers to have that much time available for each appointment.
Anyway, Tic Tac is close to home, the price is right, and I will keep coming back.

I love this place a co worker brought me here and I don’t mind paying they do an amazing job I have never left this place disappointed

The salon is very nice and clean. They pay great attention to you. I have gotten manicures and pedicure there many times with no complaints. However, with that being said, 10 days ago I decided to try their shellac manicure. I was charged $ 30, which in my opinion was a bit on the more expensive side but I figured if it lasts long then it was worth it. On day 3 the color started to fade off the edges just like with a regular manicure (I type and handle papers all day). So today I will have the shellac removed and get a regular manicure. I will continue to go there but I won’t do shellac anymore.

I really liked the place they did a good job too. I liked that I didn’t feel as if they were talking about me negatively, and I liked that they weren’t arguing with each other, as I have been to many where they talk about you & argue with each other. The only thing I didn’t care for was my technician being a bit unprofessional. He was pushing me to get other services done since I was being treated by my guest with me. It was kinda rude to hear «get this done since she’s the one paying for it.» Other than that I liked the place.

I just recently moved to this side of town and I have to say that this Nail Salon is by far one of the best I have ever been to. Thomas Tran who I believe is the owner of the Salon has been extremely professional every time I have visited.
When visiting, I typically get a full-​set or refill on solar nails. After leaving, my nails are always done with excellence. I must say I did have an instance there where one worker seemed to not have the drive as the others and that person is no longer there. Thomas made me feel welcomed like family and offered a discount on my next visit, which he stood by his word. I never once asked for any sort of discount and I was surprised by this.
The last time I visited there was an extreme outrageous customer who didn’t understand the pricing or understand the different nail sets. She made a scene and every one on Thomas’ team acted professional and was able to calm the rude lady. I know from experience in the retail industry that customers at times can be harsh, rude, and foal. At the same time, you have to keep your composure and give them customer service. Thomas and everyone demonstrated this. I honestly feel for people that work in any customer service industry because it’s not an easy job.
I will continue to get my nails done at this salon because it’s my new neighborhood salon.

This place is very clean.
They gave me a nice pedicure and I’ll certainly return.
:)

This place gave me a very good manicure and the shop is very clean and fume-​free.
My only gripes are that they really pushed the Shellac manicure, even after I said I didn’t like gel manicures (the only one I ever had ruined my nails). I told the person at the counter no, and then the technician tried to convince me to get the Shellac (and she had been sitting right there when I said no to the person at the counter.) When I get my nails done, I just want to relax and enjoy the experience, not pushed to buy things I don’t want. They also use UV lights to dry your nails. I would like the option of using a fan.

This place is clean and when I was there every customer was treated as they were important! I highly recommend this place!
