2025-08-22Wonderful wonderful wonderful! 5 stars for my pedicure!!! Massage was the best I've found in San Marcos. I will be back to ask for the gentleman with the tattoos. He did great on the polish also. Found my new spot and technician. Not to mention all the price point options for pedis is super cool too. Thanks Nail Lounge 🙌

2025-06-30Got a pedicure and manicure today. I was happy with Lilly until I looked closer at her work. She didn't get ridges off of my fingernails and the tips weren't smooth. All of my toenails are different lengths. I'm going to have to fix all of this tonight before work tomorrow. I wish I could get my money back. She was sweet though

2025-12-15I haven’t got a pedicure in a long time besides doing it at home. Anytime I’m here traveling for work, this will be a must stop. Super clean salon and they pay attention to detail. The foot massage was so good my feet popped lol Their prices were great for what was being provided as well! Highly satisfied, they even serve alcohol if it interests you.

2025-10-12I had a pedi with Daniel and 10/10 on the scrub/massage. I hike and work on my feet a lot and it was not rushed and sooo nice. He was also very meticulous with my cuticles and the polish. Going to book with him again.
