Tiki Nail Bar

Horrible! Nail tech cut me several times. Music playing & nail tech singing out loud is prob reason I kept getting burning sensations on my natural nails from drill. Pedicure tech was pregnant and couldn’t bend much to do pedicure well. Will not be visiting again!

I honestly would not recommend anyone to come here EVEN if you are pressed for time. A lady named Uyen (?) helped me, and helped is for lack of a better term.
I was quoted $ 25 for a full set, plain acrylic, nothing extravagant. I made the appointment before leaving my office, so that I would have a person ready to go as soon as I arrived. The girl answering the phone was sweet and informative. However, when I got to the salon, it was a different story. I walked in, stated my name and why I was there at my appointment time, and was told to wait while everyone was speaking in Vietnamese. 10 minutes after my appointment, I was shown to my seat with someone who looked like they didn’t want to do a full set :(
Clearly, I knew that no one had a freaking clue what was going on. I may not speak Vietnamese, but you could sense how unorganized everything was. This place had a grip of people too!
I sat down, repeatedly told Uyen (?) that I didn’t want anything on top of my acrylic set. She was pushy and wanted to me get something shiny on top. No. No. No. She still didn’t get it. She filed down my nails, glued on the tips, and started on the powder.
Oh boy. The powder. Thick as a freaking stack of papers. I looked like I had nubs for finger nails. I asked her to file down the powder more, but she didn’t do much but run the drill over it. In the middle of cleaning up my cuticles, a customer walked stating that they needed a wax. This lady is filing down my nails with a drill and not even looking down to see what she was doing!!! UNACCEPTABLE!!!
I yanked my left hand away from her and that’s when she finally noticed me. This is when she tells me to hold on since she was clearly the lady that does the waxing. When she got back, I just let her know that I was running late. She finished my nails and I hurriedly paid and tipped her anyways.
Never again. Stay far, far away.

Most of the nail techs there are not very skilled at what they do. Their work is not up to par at all and they charge you extra for unnecessary things. I got a polish change on my hands and feet and also got my 11-​yr old daughter’s feet polished and it was $ 43!!! My polish was too thick (too many coats) and they had nothing to help dry your nails!!! My nail tech clipped my nails before doing the polish change on my feet, and clipped them way too short! My skin underneath my nail was sticking out farther than my nail!!! She didn’t have enough knowledge/​experience to know how far to clip them! Then she got mad at me and started yelling at me when it was time to pay because I was outraged by the charges for 2 polish changes!!! We got into a big argument!!! My 17-​yr old daughter also got a full set with designs and rhinestones done, which she paid for herself, and they were shaped completely wrong and her tech did not put super glue on the rhinestones to make them stay on, nor did she put glue on any kind of nail polish on top of the rhinestones to prevent them from coming off so easily. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN IN MY LIFE!!!

Never going back here every. Got gel manicure done and it was horrible. Then when I pointed out what was wrong they said the uv light does that to
Some colors and it would go away. I’ve gotten plenty of gel manicures done and it’s never look this way.

This place is also owned by the people behind Hawaiian Nail bar. I didn’t know it until halfway through my service. At that point I knew I would walk out disappointed. The beach theme is prevalent. The prices are pretty much the same. The mediocre at best service is the same.
I had a gel manicure removed and replaced with regular polish. I have never had gel polish before so I wasn’t extremely knowledgeable about the removal process but I had watched other places do it by covering nails with acetone soaked cotton wrapped in aluminum foil over just the finger tip.
I will not return to this place. Instead of soaking off the gel polish with a small bit of cotton, the tech scrape off layers of polish with a file and her finger nails then had me hold my hand in a bowl of acetone! For three days my skin peeled, cracked and bled thanks to that lady’s technique. Once that chemical torture is done instead of wiping off the dissolving polish she takes another file to my nails. I have ridges all over my nail beds because of that. You can see it under the polish.
I had a red standard formula polish applied. My 4 year old niece may be able to apply it better.
Disappointment all around. I have two stars because the place was very clean and the staff at least tried to be friendly and personable. My service was $ 20.

Got the best pedicure ever here from thao. She took her time and i was so happy because my feet are no easy task. (i got there early while they were not busy) my feet have never looked better. I got the strawberry daiquri pedi and a full set done by ken. He did a great job as well. Im new to irving and i think this will definitely be my new nail shop. Its also in a great location.

Was in town for work. Stopped by for a gel manicure and it was fine but a few days later was peeling up near the cuticles. Every time I ran my fingers through my hair my nails got caught from where the gel was peeling back. After a week it was really bad. A good gel should last 2 weeks. This was not a good gel. They clearly didn’t put a good bonding agent on. Also – who wants to listen to karaōke while they get a manicure? Weird atmosphere. I’m not a fan.

If I could give this place no stars I would ! WORSE place EVER! KEN is super rude! He yelled at me for not picking out my colors fast enough and when I felt overwhelmed and said I was leaving he charged me $ 10 for soaking my toes in their lukewarm water and the nail tech taking polish off two toes! I will Never go back !!! Hawaiian Nail bar is 10 000% better!!!

Like one of the previous reviews, this place is similar to Hawaiian Nail Bar. I had a good experience. I would’ve given them all 4 or 5 stars, but they got really busy during my appointment and the techs that were servicing me (I got fill and pedi at the same time) had to keep stopping and I feel like I was a wee bit slighted on my massage.
I LOVED THE way Vivian did my nails and the guy that did my pedi wasn’t too bad either. Although, they got really busy, they tried to stay attentive to everyone. They made sure to keep everyone in order of arrival and no one was made to feel more important than the next (that’s a big deal for me).
They kept my wine «glass» full and I LOVE the finished product of both my fingers and toes. I would definitely come back again, but maybe a little earlier, as they close at 5 on Sundays and I got here close to 4.

The place is very similar to the Hawaiian nail spa, the offer you margaritas or coladas, or wine. The first guy that did my nails completely messed them up, and he tried to give me the story that my finger was crooked??? and i was like really??? okay well what about the other four nails, my fingers weren’t crooked this morning. Finally he got another guy named Ken started completely fresh and he did a really really good job. He was really nice and funny, which i appreciated since they were close to closing time and he was still working on my nails. I paid 45 for Nexgen nails, which is about 10 bucks more then in other places around the area

The décor is cute, the frozen bed are always tasty, and the service is quick but quality. I’ve never had to wait super long to get in when I don’t have an appointment, and their color selection of regular polish, gel polish, acrylics, and nexgen is awesome.

I went here with my friend, because this is her «go to» nail place. I just got a simple shellac manicure, and she got a mani and pedi. As soon as we sat down, they offered us something to drink: pina coladas, strawberry daiquiris, wine. We both got the strawberry daiquiris, and took our time figuring out what color to do our nails. I chose a fun coral color, and she chose a lavender/​grey color. The lady who helped me was nice and fast, her name was Vivian, and I would definitely recommend her.
My friends go to person is Mike, and he did a really good job on her nails.
Definitely will come back here!

Loved the NextGen mani from Ken! And Tony did a great job on my pedi. I’ll be a regular.

This is my preferred nail salon in Irving. Not as fancy as the Nail Studio but the prices also correlate with not being as high as Nail Studio. Prices are much more reasonably priced and there is a greater variety of pedicures to choose from. You can start with your simple pedicure or select a more deluxe pedicure with milk and honey for example. The manicurist Mike did a great job on my solar nail feel. Staff is always very friendly!

Even though this place just opened, I love the calming atmosphere it presents. I’ve been a loyal customer to Lush Nail Lounge (sister location) for over a year. I followed the best nail technician, Tracy, from that location. If you’re looking for professionalism, expertise in nail care and a place to feel relaxed, this is most definitely the place!!!
For those who are looking for Tracy email her at

Would give 0 stars if i could. My father took me here as a Valentine’s Day gift. They are unprofessional and overpriced for the service that is given. There is no nail dryer so you’re just expected to wait there for a while as your nails dry and even then they try to rush you out of the facility. I came here for a pedicure and will say that it was mediocre at best. When I sat down there was one guy giving me the pedicure while another guy sat and watched. The other guy clearly made a joke about my feet in his language and they both laughed. I gave the guy who made the joke the dirtiest look and then he promptly walked away. My father paid for my pedicure before I was finished; we even tipped the guy five dollars at the end of service, but some how he believed we were trying to leave with out paying. I will never ever come back to this place again and I will inform anybody I know in the Dallas area not to come here.

Short and sweet.
Its nice and clean — they did a good job.
However — There is NO drier and no fans!!!
I had to flap my hands around in the parking lot because they were about to close :(

My sister took me here, and although she was holding out on me regarding the karaōke as an option, I have to say I was wowed by this place nonetheless. The idea that you can get complementary margaritas and daiquiris while getting a pedi/​manis is awesome. I am nursing so I didn’t partake, so I can’t speak to the quality of the beverages, but the people around me looked very pleased. A week and some change later, my pedicure is still looking pretty good. I got the basic pedicure for just $ 25 and added a $ 5 callus treatment just to be on the safe side. All in all, a great experience. When I’m back in the area visiting my sister, I’ll definitely have her take me back here. Maybe she’ll even do a little karaōke for me!

I didn’t get my nails done so I can only comment on my pedicure service and the atmosphere.
I’ve been wondering about this place after reading previous reviews and felt really dumb that it’s right next to a sandwich place I go to a couple of times a month. of course I park on the side and just run in.
First of all it’s very festive, I was approached as soon as I walked and asked to choose my polish for my pedicure and informed there would be no wait. The water was running when I got to my chair and she asked about the temperature. I noticed they used plastic liners which I live. She showed me the list of the array of pedicures they offered and got started. There were 3 other ladies there 1 a regular who raved about the service. She wasn’t wrong. I received one of the best pedicures ever.
Anyone can polish your toes but the foot massage and the leg message were worth the price, which honestly wasn’t too high.
I have found my new pedicure spot. I haven’t had my nails done there yet but I may give that a try on the next visit. I recommend them for pedicures though. Bonus they are open until 8 pm.

It’s a better version of Hawaiian Nail Bar. Same cute beachy theme but not overly cheesy. It’s newer (2 months), bigger, brighter… better. What else? Lots of memorable aspects of this place:
1. They’ve got colorful sweet smelling house-​made foot scrubs.
2. They have an array of clearly labeled colors and quality polishes that aren’t watered down or super old.
3. They have complimentary wine, margaritas and daquiris (woo hoo)!
4. They are open pretty late.
5. Your nails won’t chip. They offer acrylic colored powder instead of polish that is guaranteed to last unlike conventional polish.
6. They have a karaōke bar! Yes, you read that right. I assume it’s for birthday parties, etc.
7. They actually know how to do unique nail designs and shapes and provide samples.
8. It’s pretty new and thus not discovered by the masses. That means that it’s usually not really busy and you don’t have to wait all day for a walk-​in appointment.
Overall I was pleasantly surprised. This will be my nail spot of choice for as long as I’m in the area. Solid service and lots of frills.
