Solar Nails

Everyone should come see Sam. He does a great job with full set pedi and gel mani

Okay. I gave it another shot. I only did the gel nails, no pedi, today. But, MUCH better. My nails look beautiful and it only took an hour this time. I used to come here all of the time and I was sad to leave. But, my faith is being restored so I will be back again :)

While I commend this staff for dealing with an irritated customer while the salon was full, I cannot give the service and end result a positive review. A simple pedicure for my niece and I looked like we gave one to each other. The price was not as high as I expected it to be, so I give a couple of stars for that. The wait time was long and the pedicure took longer than an hour as some other reviews mention.

I had been coming to this place for more than five years because it’s close to where I live. However I noticed that when they’re busy, they basically take care of the new customers and just leave me unattended for quite a long time … also the last time that I was there the lady Who did my nails seem to be a beginner and she had a very negative attitude… my pedicure was really bad and it was messed up, so I went back for her to fix it and she’s had even the worst attitude, the nail polish was lumpy and uneven and I watched her purposefully skip putting a top coat on one of my big toe nails it seemed to be because she passive aggressiveness… I caught her and asked her to please polish that missed toe nail… And as she was putting on the foot protectors for me to walk in, she was looking away and talking in her language to other people in the shop as she put on both of my foot protectors well it ended up that one of my big toenails had a big bulge Mark in the middle of it but this was the second time that I have been there for to be fixed and I became frustrated that I had to waste so much time just to get a pedicure.
Well I give up I will not be going back there the service has deteriorated over the years and they don’t seem very nice

Took my mother-​in-​law there today. Service was terrible, rough, and no quality. Loud conversation between coworkers and not much customer interaction. More concerned about customers walking in then the customers they are currently serving. Overprice for the quality provided at $ 35.

Hung out here for an hour today with the wifey. Staff is funny and the environment was relaxing. Massage chair and massages were great. Almost fell over after I got up because I was so relaxed. I would recommend their services as my wife has been coming here for four years and she says this is part for the course.

Great pedicure: best I’ve ever had. I took my 91-​year old mother, and they were especially kind and courteous to her. My nails are beautiful and last a long time. They welcome walk-​in and even have a children’s chair for pedicures. Love it!

The guy I had did an awesome job. He was accurate with my toe nail polish. Like an artist. He was so gentle to my feet (they kept twitching). He never got aggravated.

I love this place! They are nice and accommodating when I am in a hurry. The manager is nice and I can get two girls to do mani and pedi at the same time. She offers water and knows my by name. I have tried several places and their chairs are great. I also use a lot of my Pinterest ideas and they never fail. The most basic pedicure is very relaxing. I can also even get a facial here and it’s comparable to 80 – 120 facials out there. Only for $ 30. Their waxing is quick and detailed. They have slowed down the talking among themselves which is why I would give them a 5 star. I would recommend them anytime.

This is a nice convenient place to go in Manor and east Austin. It’s never too crowded and every time that I have come, it get in right away.

Save your money! My husband and I decided to try this place out given that we just moved to the Manor area. We arrived at 3:20pm and at 3:40pm we were pointed towards the available chairs. After sitting and waiting for 35 minutes with our feet soaking in lukewarm water my pedicure started. I explained to the lady I didn’t want my nails cut just filed. While I was reading a magazine and she starts cutting my nails. She stopped after cutting two and realized her mistake. She didn’t bother to file them. The rest of my nails she ran the file across for about 2 seconds. She then proceeded to cut the sides of my toe nails off. So my nails are now this funky shape with sharp edges. I didn’t want any color because I knew I had to fix the crappy job she did on my nails. I had to use a towel to wipe off the greasy oil the lady left on my legs. The pedicure lasted way longer than it was worth. We walked in at 3:20pm and walked out at 5:15pm. That’s 2 hours of my life I will not get back. We decided we are not going back. After I got home and started fixing my pedicure I realized she didn’t cut my cuticles and she cut my toe. STAY AWAY!!!

I went here a couple times giving them a chance… bad idea. I WILL NEVER GO BACK! My nails were real and long, all i asked for was a gel polish. The girl ended up giving me a manicure and when i tried to stop her, she said, «oh it ok,.you like it». She didnt do the gel nails right, she only put one coat of the shiny gel on, i asked her to do more, she said «you done, bye». After i paid for services i didnt even want, it was more than i wanted to spend. A week later my polish turned a dark brownish or black at the tips… all my REAL NAILS broke within the week. Horrible service.

I had read the reviews here and happened to be in the area so I thought I would give them a shot. Their prices were decent.
Waxing: I thought they had done a great job with my eyebrow wax.
Regular Pedicure: I had a woman and thought she had done a great job. The environment was relaxing and the chair was great. Glad someone suggested to avoid the guys because they were chatter boxes more focused on their co-​workers than being attentive to their customers.
Regular Manicure: They initially asked to do both services at the same time but I would have felt rushed so I asked them to do it separately. I had a different woman work on my hand. By this time there weren’t very many people in the salon so very loud conversations began. This of course took away from any sense of zen I had gained. What was a little irritating is that the woman doing my nails was more involved with the conversation than my hands.
The hand/​arm massage one would normally get was basically nonexistent. It was one of the reasons I went for the regular option. Disappointed.
So overall I would rate them a 3 ½ to 4. If they had relaxing music going and of course if they refrained from talking loud over each other it would improve the atmosphere. I would go back again.

I recently moved to Manor and was so happy to see Solar Nails at the entrance of my community. Based on previous reviews, I was a little nervous but decided to have an open heart and give them a try. My first trip was for a simple fill. I did have about a 10 minute wait but everyone was very accommodating and there were some TVs to occupy me. I was happy with my service, prices and my nails looked great. Whew! What a relief.
Test #2: The pedicure. I decided to go all out and get a pedi and brand new set on my nails. There were 4 pedi options and I believe the highest was around $ 40. I chose the $ 24 option and was in heaven for the next 40 minutes. The service consisted of a soak, 2 scrubs, massage, hot towel wrap and some pretty good callus removal. So impressed! I soaked my nails of during my pedi to save some time. And ended up getting pink and white solar right on top of my natural nails. I was a little worried about strength without artificial tips but 1 week later and I’m free of chips or lifting.
The lack of the 5^th star is due to the fact that a bumble bee got inside a front door, which was propped open. No huge deal but I certainly tensed up during my pedicure when he was circling my head. Hard to run or swat when your hands are soaking in chemicals :)

All I have to say is that I will never go again! The guy that did my pedicure wasn’t so bad even though he didn’t do the best job. I do a better manicure at home. I was so dissatisfied that I didn’t even have my nails or toes polished. The worst part of my experience was being stared at, talked about and laughed at then having them all look at me wondering if I understood anything they said. Very rude!

I live in Manor, so I thought I’d support the local nail salon. The man who did my pedicure was more interested in talking to others in the shop than he was giving me a pedicure. He looked away several times while handling sharp instruments near my cuticles, and even looked away while painting my nails. This was the worst pedicure I have ever had, and I have had pedicures for over 5 years. My feet were not soft and nail polish was left on my skin around my toes — on every toe! The paint on the toenails was lumpy and uneven. When it came time to pay and leave, he stood over me the whole time while I filled out my credi card slip — kind of intimidating.
I went back the very next morning to ask to have my nails re-​painted. The same man repainted my nails, but he made them look even worse — and I did not think that was possible. I am not sure how the other nail technicians are at that place, but if you go, you may want to ask for one of the female technicians. I am going back to Super Star Nails — and never going back to this place again.

I work out in Manor, TX — land of the open fields and nothingness, USA. I look out my window onto vast nothing-​ville and in order to keep my sanity, my co-​workers and I go on lunch time road trips.
It was a slow day. I was feeling pretty frumpy and she needed a pick-​me-​up before her upcoming interview. It was only 4 minutes down the road and we had passed this place several times on our lunch-​time driving excursions. It was time to try this place out.
When we walked in and there was only one lady in the front. However, two more soon came out and we were taken care of immediately. We both got pedicures and my friend got an eyebrow wax. She was very happy about her wax job. The nail polish selection was fairly small but adequate. It took about 45 minutes and was a reasonable $ 22. The pedicure was pretty standard — it had been awhile since my last pedicure and I had forgotten how good it feels. So soft!
I definitely will be back — for the convenient proximity to work if nothing else. Hands down, one of the best lunchtime pick-​me-​ups.
