Dreams Nails & Salon

I took my daughter here this weekend for birthday pedicures. They did a great job! They spent a lot of time on each of us and everyone was very friendly. Prices were great as well. I will definitely go back.

I had my eyebrows done here on a whim last Friday.
Kim did a great job. I was apprehensive because I only let a select few wax my brows. However, she did fantastic work!
I was pleasantly surprised.

Long wait times, bad service, DIRTY, they don’t ask you what you want. When you tell them, they upsale you to something different. THEN YOU GET A SURPRISE WHEN YOU PAY. these people are con artists and try to make a dollar on anything. STAY AWAY!

I totally wish I can give it no stars but I can’t! I went Friday to get my eyebrows waxed and the women messed them up so bad they don’t look the same one has an arch and the other is straight and then the one that is straight she plucked to much and left a little spot with no hair never again will I go there!

I went into day and got a pedicure from Don. He was very nice, and thorough. My feet have not been this smooth in a long time. I’ve visited several nail salons in Austin, and this one was by far the best. They really focus on getting your feet smooth. I like that.

I went in today for a mani after passing by and seeing their sign for a manicure for $ 12. My expectations were not too high but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I had two ladies work on my nails one to start then another to take over. Both were great my cuticles were very rough and I though for sure I would be nicked but that did not happen. They had a large selection of polish including gel polish. One of the ladies gave me a wonderful hand massage. After my manicure she asked if I would like a brow wax which I desperately needed so why not for $ 7. My nails and brows look awesome and for both it was only $ 17. I can’t wait to go back. I also love that they are upfront about prices and are not pushy to upsell like some salons I have been to. I wish I would have got the name of the lady who did the majority of my manicure and my brows.

I was in town from San Antonio visiting my boyfriend for the weekend and needed a quick shellac manicure before heading back. I found Dream Nails on Unilocal,and I am very pleased with the result! $ 25 for a shellac manicure which included a nice little hand massage at the end. The nail tech paid much attention to my nails and applied three coats of polish, so my nails look great! They have a large selection of shellac polishes. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town. One tip– make an appointment for your service. I had to wait about 20 minutes since I was a walk-​in.

Quick, clean, sweet manager Ana, and they don’t overcharge or try to up-​sell. Shellac nails for $ 25 — pretty results!

I was bitten by a fly! Just sitting in the chair and there’s flies everywhere! It’s swollen like a mosquito bite but I’m 99% sure it was a fly. What the hell?! Anyways,
manicures 12 $ if you don’t mind walking out of there with your fingers bleeding. The guy who worked on me did a sloppy, sloppy job and nicked me several times because he looked away from what he was doing when working with dremal tools!
Pedicures 20 $ but 35 $ for deluxe but the chairs are really uncomfortable, getting out of it, there’s this bar that locks the armrest/​table and it’s nearly impossible not to sit on it. AND IT HURRRRRTS. I get a big honking bruise every time. They don’t get ALL the dead skin off my heel, I go home and there’s still a considerable amount. More than I get when I go other places. The sanitation, now that I’ve read about it on Unilocal I’m starting to notice it more as I’m sitting in the chair now. I didn’t even get a sanitation tablet, in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten one here.
Waxing for eye brows is 7 $ chin and lip is $ 10. Last time I got my brows done, they took skin off. The stuff they have for after the rip doesn’t help with anything. It’s just poor product selection on their side.
Overall, the staff couldn’t care less about you if you aren’t the one with the wallet.

No. Just no.
I wonder if they know that pulling the drain cover off the foot bath does not make for a clean foot bath. I watched a customer get up, pay, and leave. After she left, they pulled the drain cover and rinsed the foot basin. RINSED! With no cleaner. Said foot basins take at least 15 minutes to run a cycle of cleaner through.
All the tools were used over and over again and I didn’t even get polish. I paid and left.
Back to self pedi’s.

Been here twice now for a quick easy-​on-​the-​budget pedicure (which I normally try to stay away from since it’s usually not worth it) but these ladies do it right! A pedicure that I am actually very happy with every time! My polish lasts longer than a week and a half, and my skin feels supa soft:) Bonus of course is that the women and men here are always very friendly.
**As a note in regards to the sanitary concern of this salon, I will say this: I learned a long time ago that it is honestly worth it to go to Sally’s beauty supply, buy my own tools, leave them in a little makeup bag either in my car or at home and take them with me when I go to ANY salon for a mani and/​or pedi. I don’t care if they get offended or look at me like i’m too touchey, I rather that than deal with some crazy toe infection later.

Dream Nails is cheap and fast. Most of the time, they do a pretty good job. However…
I don’t think this place is very clean. I cringed when I saw my pedicurist pull out a callous remover from the drawer, drop in into my foot bath, take it out to use it on me, then throw it back in the drawer… ummm yuck. Also, they speak loudly to each other in their native language, with very little conversing with the customer (sometimes I like that). It is difficult to pay, and I feel like I have to wave down a worker, as their is no front desk area.
I have been back because it is $ 20 for pedi and $ 15 for mani, or $ 30 for both, and I feel as if I am in and out in no time. But cleanliness is a major factor. Not sure I will return…

Absolutely horrific.
My 13 yr old daughter went there with a couple of friends. They texted me 15 minutes later that their pedicures were already over and that the salon was charging them full price for «the worst pedicure ever.» I went to pick them up and asked the workers how long a typical pedicure lasts. They replied «around 30 minutes». I also noticed that all of the nail techs were already working on other women’s manicures, which would indicate that they clearly rushed through the teenager’s pedicures to get to the ladies’. I refused to pay full price; they took $ 5 off.
When the girls and I got in the car, I checked Unilocal reviews and saw that there have been sanitary issues at this salon. I asked the girls and they said that the same cart was used for two of them, without changing out or cleaning any of the tools. Who knows who used them before, or how long it’s been since they were sanitized!
Needless to say, we rushed home and bathed their feet in alcohol and anti-​fungal ointment!
Terrible business practices all around, I would say! Definitely would not recommend.

Stay clear of this place unless you have a strong immune system.
First of all, my nails look great, and my manicure has lasted pretty well… aside from the cuticle infection I developed due to the unsanitized tools used on my manicure.
So many things about this manicure were out of the norm. The bowl of water to soak my fingers in was dirty (came off the same shelf I saw her put it back on after my manicure), the bowl was filled using the faucet on one of the pedicure machines, and the manicurist added no soap. They did not send me to wash my hands with a clean brush, she simply scrubbed my nails in the non-​soapy water in the dirty bowl, using a brush out of her drawer that I highly suspect was not clean. The cuticle clippers looked dirty, and I’m guessing they were not sanitized since my finger is now infected where she clipped the cuticle too close.
The woman moved so quickly, and used so little lotion on my hands, the massage portion felt like my hand was getting pushed and pulled– not at all relaxing.
Needless to say, I do not recommend this place (even though the service is fast and my nails look good) it’s not worth risking your health to save two or three dollars.

Based on Unilocal review, I thought i’d try it. Big mistake.
I asked for cool/​cold water for my pedicure. I asked 5 times and the technician couldn’t make it happen for some reason.
While I was trying to relax in the pedi chair, a technician who wasn’t busy plopped herself next me in a chair and started watching a movie on her smartphone… with the volume on high. SO unprofessional.
The place looked worn and dirty. My nail technician was rough and indifferent.
I’ll never go back and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Deluxe pedicure was well worth it! Probably the best pedicure I’ve ever had. Nice people too.

Been coming here for over two years and the last few visits I’ve notice that they have been skimping on the pedi service. They are also skimping on the sanitary tablet, using ½ in stead of a full tablet.

To be honest, my visit here was accidental, but I’ll definitely be back! Clean atmosphere, friendly and helpful service and to top it off, GREAT prices.
I came here for a walk-​in manicure & was treated so well. I can’t wait to come back for mani/​pedi!

Clean atmosphere and quick & friendly associates!
I am SO PICKY about my nails, and they fixed one of my toes that I scratched on the nail dryer as well as one of my acrylics that I smudged on my car door. I know, i’m a klutz, but they were so nice about it!
Prices were great, too! I will definitely be back!

So the other day my bf was giving me a foot rub (well-​trained) and he oh so politely mentioned «You REALLY need a pedicure.» Between flip flops and traveling and my natural propensity to callous (the cavewoman is strong in this one), my feet are akin to tree stumps.
So i take them on down to dream nails, where I can work, get scrubbed down, cleaned up and leave with happy sparkly toes. They loofah your callouses away, your legs are pounded and sea salted and oiled down. All for $ 20.
I’m basically a miser at heart but sometimes, when i can’t face my feet, I let someone else do the dirty work for me. It’s worth the $ 20 once in a while to turn my ugly stepsister feet into the cinderella version of themselves.
