Square Nails is the best nail salon in Austin. I confidently recommend them and frequently bring friends and family along because the experience is consistently great. The salon is modern, well decorated, and clean. The team is also very welcoming. My favorite techs are Kevin and Ben. No lifting, perfect shape and application, 10/10.

This salon is fantastic. They’re very professional, the whole staff is trained well & they work well even with a high volume of clients. I’ve never waited long for my services to start and I’ve been going almost two years now. I’ve loved it so much that I switched up getting into acrylic nails with designs and they’re sooooo good. My nails last 3-4 weeks, never break and look amazing. I get so many compliments on them. This spot is a gem.

Be aware that their policy for French Nail Manicure, regular polish, is only 3 days. They don’t guarantee their work past then. They will graciously repaint your nails for an additional $15, regardless if you spent almost $300 with them less than 6 days prior. Poor nail polish quality as well as poor customer service.

The only place I will ever go again to get my nails done. Staff is great and talented. I always come with an inspiration photo and they make my dreams come true ✨ Love coming here to get an iced coffee and to spend a lil quality time with my mama.

I’ve tried this place a few times before, service was good enough to come back - but today, FABIO did his thang! asking for him every. single. time! Cuticles look clean, paint job, shape, customer service, 10/10. Outside of that, atmosphere is great. Cost is a little pricey, but most locations are. It’s worth it, when you find your person, stick to them. I would recommend this nail shop!
