Essence Nail Spa

Moved to Tx a few months back and I was looking for a good nail tech. I LOVE this place and everyone in it. I’ve been working on growing my natural nails and about 3 months in I am working with my NATURAL nails. And the designs have never failed me! 😁

I am all for second chances, but second time was definitely not the charm! My first time going here, I showed a picture of the design I wanted, and was confidently told they could do it. Once they got to the design portion, I was told oh we can’t do that so let’s just add something simple. It was absolutely not what I wanted, but they knew I was upset and didn’t charge me extra for the matte polish I got. Fine, so I decided to go back and give a second chance with a much easier design, and took my daughter with me. I made it very clear that I do not like my Nails paper thin. Once he was done with the first nail, I let him know that they were too thin and to please make them thicker. I was assured that by the end, they would not be so thin and to just trust. By the time I left, my nails wer

I have gone to plenty of nail salons but something brings me back here. They’re friendly but not in an uncomfortable way it feels very genuine. They have some English speakers so that’s always a plus. For me I felt like my request were listened to and even when I left and a toe nail got ruined they fixed it without making it an issue. The guy was so nice when he realized I couldn’t find the exact color he just repainted my toes. I tried to tip him and he refused. I stopped getting my nails done a year ago so I don’t have much comment there but the two main male techs seems to be the most popular for manicures. Either way the price is good the vibes are nice and I definitely recommend. They even do 20% student discount :)

So disappointed. I got a dip manicure SIX days ago, not even a whole week, and one of my nails has already cracked in half. For $50 plus tip it is not a good deal. I only tried this place because my regular nail guy couldn’t fit me in right away, but normally my nails last 4-5 weeks. Learned my lesson I guess. They weren’t the worst job I’ve ever had done, but haven’t ever had them break this quickly.

This was one of the worst manicures I have gotten. The lady didn’t trim my nails before putting on the tips, the edges are sharp and rough, and they are uneven. She kept nicking my skin and filing my skin instead of my nails. The people were nice but I do not recommend.
