Y2K Nails & Spa

This place is ripped off!!!
Yesterday was my 2^nd experience in this place.
1^st time was before New Year and trying to do only pedicure, which they are insist from regular to Gel type and do manicure for additional $ 10.
I agreed but they charge me total $ 75, it was not only $ 10 extra.
However, I decided to try for 2^nd chance and called salon prior to visit. I ask specifically ask «Gel refill» because that’s what I was advised. Lady answer the phone clearly told me «$ 18».
At the salon, I said Gel refill, then after done, charge me $ 35!!!
I mentioned I called before I came was told $ 18, but then she said «No it’s a $ 35»
That’s it, I will not go back this place!!!

Super helpful, friendly and fun atmosphere. I live on university and I guess everyone on my street decided to get mani-​pedis at 2 in the afternoon. I was glad to stumble into y2k… nice…quiet.serene. Yes! Thanks for doing such a great job. I think there are tons of shimmery and glittery polishes… I like a more urban decay look and went to the next rack on over. I do not do Chrystal or fake or gel nails because they ALL tear my fingernails up. so I can only speak for mani-​pedi which was very nice. She also gives a 25 $ gift card after every 5 visits. That’s basically a free mani plus 10 off your pedi.

I’m on the opposite side of the spectrum from the lady who said «Low reviews? How?!» How are there good reviews for this place if you regularly get your nails done? I got a pedicure and solar acrylic, and I’m super sad I paid so much for it. They forgot the top coat on my toes until I asked, she quickly brushed a coat on and sent me off on my way. The top coat makes or breaks your polish — this definitely broke it. There was no high sheen and it was chipping the NEXT day. My solar was okay (more like mehhh), but she 100% ignored my cuticles, which is why I came to get my nails done in the first place. I’ve been looking for a good nail salon in RR, here’s another shop on my «heck no never again» list. I gave another star because they were incredibly nice, but it’s not even worth it for me to go in and try to fix the issues. PS it’s been about 5 days and I have 6 toes with 0 polish on them at all. That doesn’t even happen when I do it myself!

Worst manicure ever!!! The French tip looks like my 7 year old niece did it! 70 bucks before tip for a simple clear coat manicure and pedicure. The owner was pushing me to get French tip and claimed she would do it just so I could try it because I insisted I just wanted a clear coat. NO REFUNDS is posted at the check out counter so when I see the crappy job there is nothing to do for a resolution. They were too busy to take it off and give me what I wanted. Never again will I go to this over priced place!!! Which is a shame because the young lady that did my pedicure was a sweet heart and did a decent job.

I asked for a simple manicure, but they ended up putting on gels. At that point I was like «whatever they’ll last me longer anyway» until the woman did an awful job. It was barely even noticeable and not enough layered. I then wanted simple design on them, a thin white line on the tip of my nail. The white polish looked pasty like a glue, which seemed old and dry. She did it uneven and then when it dried it looked flakey and was all over my hands. I haven’t even left by then, so I asked for her to redo it and the same thing happened. She ignored the fact they looked absolutely awful and went on to the next customer. I wanted them redone, and «Kathy» said she would redo them for free. I had to pick out a much darker color because they can’t make light colors work. She rushed it and they looked rushed, I could’ve done a better job myself. If you want a good professional manicure I suggest you don’t come here.

If you like bleeding, getting cut, and rude service this is the place for you! I have now been here twice since I moved here, first time was a below average experience and the second time was horrendous! Not happy at all.

Man, oh man. This is uncomfortable. But this place is for nail shop rookies, people that aren’t regular customers, or people that don’t routinely do nail shop services.
I was hoping it was going to be a great experience, a shop close to our new home. cuz the other was a poor experience, but that definitely didn’t happen.
It reminded me of the ghetto ass nail shops I used to go to back in the day. With the exception of color choices. Ghetto shops have a gang of colors!!! This place was pretty limited on polish, and NONE of their solar powder color sample fingertips was actually available. You can’t just look at powder in a jar & know what it’s going to look like after gel. I haaate when nail shops dont even have a board (or 5) of nail options. NOTE TO SHOP OWNERS & MANAGERS: NOT EVERY ONE WANTS 12 SHADES OF RED/​MAROON/​BROWN/​PINK. Add glitter to your polish and powder choices. Add more polish colors. Shit, I go by the make up counter @HEB and see more current bad ass polishes. But if you’re trying to up sell your Pedis, by damn near begging, then I expect some bad ass options/​service. $ 35 for a deluxe, and I said no the first 4 times. I agreed cause I deserve it, but I ended up painting my own toes at home after walking out w naked toes. Deal. Breaker. Not even my 18 year old has seen naked toenails on me!
But, the lady was very NICE. Just pushy. I’m not that client that’s easily impressed by your wit. Just be professional, don’t talk shit about other shops, don’t make you talking about us obvious, and please stop boasting about how great you/​yall are. I’m a vet. I know what’s good. I will come back if it’s good. I will not go back here. Sorry yall. Just wasn’t for me.

I have been going here for the past 7 years. I always get an upper lip wax and eyebrows done. They do such an amazing job. Sometimes to spruce things up I’ll even get a pedicure. These women are always friendly and have gotten to know me very well but these last few times I’ve been it had been terrible and unfortunately I will not be returning.
There equipment is very dirty and not up to health and safety standards. They once burned me while waxing my eyebrows. I now have a scar. I had to leave early once due to an emergency and wasn’t able to finish my pedicure. They promised me that next time I would get a free one since I paid for the unfinished one. The next time I came in to finish my pedicure I was charged for it. Every time for the past 7 years I have gotten my eyebrows and upper lip waxed it’s always 15.00. When I paid and signed I tipped $ 2 and paid a total of 17.00. When I looked on my card statement later that week I saw I was charged $ 30. I’m no longer going back. They may be nice but they screwed me over and have burned me. I do not recommend them. Beware.

I just moved to round rock and I needed to find a good place to get my eyebrows waxed because they grow out of control! Soo fast it’s like I’m walking around with catapilars on my eyes. It’s rediculous!!! Anyway, I saw this place by my grocery store and decided that I would give it a try. Not only were they cheaper than the last place that I would go, they were quick! And either I’m getting used to pain or it didn’t hurt as badly as I remembered. I got lucky and have found my new regular eyebrow fixin place ;)

Cathy is so wonderful. She does my manicure, pedicure, eyebrows and today I got the best facial. Very relaxing massages and she always has a soda or fresh cold water on hand while the massage chairs relax your back.

I went into Y2K Nails with my 3 yr old niece to get her first Mani/​Pedi. The owner took such wonderful care of both of us! They were so sweet and gentle with her and very welcoming to me. The prices were very reasonable and it was overall just a great experience. They are right across the street from me and I will definitely be returning for any of my nail and waxing needs! JUST Loved them!
Plus, my nails look great!

Great place! People are good and friendly. Great job and reasonable rates. I highly recommend it. The husband and kids like it as well and kid chairs are awesome..

Low reviews? How?! This place is fantastic! I think Cathy does my nails via telepathy because she knows what I want before I can even articulate it! The staff is friendly and personable, the «add on» services like hot stones or towels at other nail studios are standard at Y2K. Plus the place is called «Y2k Nail» I’ll bet you’ll never forget it. I love it, they will get you in and out with minimal words exchanged and maximum glamour. Perfect for anyone ballin’ on a budget.

I asked for natural look, meaning clear. I got extremely short, squared, unmatched nail sizes. I asked her to round them, she did. I also said one nail is way smaller than my natural nail and they are very short. She didn’t ask how long, what colors, nothing at all, she just started doing. I said I want them removed, redone or removed and a refund. She said no to either one. They look like balls with a white tip, how in the hell is that «natural»?
Save yourself the bad experience, don’t go there. They are too busy joking and laughing that she had to stop doing my nails because she couldn’t catch her breath. Of course, all in a language we dont speak.

I had never been to this nail salon before and was nervous about letting strangers work on my nails but since my nail tech of ten years moved back to his home land I had no choice. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. Kayla at Y2K worked on my nails and did such an awesome job that I WILL be going back. Wonderful service, professional attitude but at the same time made the experience fun. These ladies are great and I would recommend anyone going for nails, eyebrows, etc.

Super nice as soon as I walked in the door. I received the deluxe pedicure which came with a mani. The lady was quick but did a perfect job. Very affordable. Will definitely come back. Also I am a larger lady and sometimes feel very awkward at places like this but they made me feel like I was just as important as anyone else.

This place… I got a gel manicure from these guys. It was coming up in a few days. I like odd colors for my nails. Yeah, I like greys, blues, black, deep reds, and purples. These guys just didn’t have a good color selection at all. I settled on a bronzy color. The manicure itself took a while, which was okay… I thought she was being thorough. She gave me a weird shoulder massage and painted my nails. The color was alright but I was so disappointed when the color started curling up in about 3 days. Gel should look decent for at least two weeks… at least… needless to sat, I haven’t been back.

Wow, I’m really not sure why there are so many bad reviews on this place. I’ve never had a bad experience here! I wouldn’t say they’re top shelf, but as far as reasonable nail salons go… they’re pretty good!
My husband and I frequent them about once a month. We both get peddi’s and I normally get an eyebrow wax, and sometimes a manicure. I’ve gotten a full set once. The peddi’s are always great, although my husband does have his favorite girl, they’ve all been fine to me. I have REALLY sensitive skin, so I’m always super red after a wax, but they’ve never «hurt» me.
I had a full set done a few months ago, at my hubby’s request, and they were really nice! Thin and clean… I liked them better than any I’ve gotten in the past. When we were leaving she told me, «You break, I buy!» Cool I thought! So of course I broke one about two weeks later (already thinking wow, they lasted longer than I’m used to), but I went with my mom to her salon and let her lady fix it… WOW, big mistake. She did a HORRIBLE job, and the next day I went BACK to Y2K. Not only did she fix this ladies mess, but she didn’t charge me. She looked at me, much like a mother would, and said «I told you. you break, I BUY!» I should have just gone back to her.
Anyway, they’re worth a look. They’re pretty quick, they remember you from visit to visit, try to actually talk to you and hold a conversation, the up-​sale tactic isn’t too strong, and they’re reasonably priced. I like them, and I’ll stick with them.

I don’t know why there are so many bad reviews. I go to this place about once a month. The ladies are nice as can be. They do a good job and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I’m happy with the service I get!

It has been weeks since I had my experience at this nail salon, but I feel strongly that something should be said. I went here with my friend to get a mani-​pedi. First off, everyone in the shop is named Cathy. WTF? The tech doing my pedi cut my toe. It was swollen and painful for over three weeks. The tech doing my friend’s pedi gave her some sort of chemical burn on her leg with the scrub. The whole process took forever. When they took me to the manicure table, she started doing my nails with and there was skin on her tools. SOOO GROSS. I asked her to clean them and she wiped them off with a towel. I did not allow her to continue. The person who spoke the most English was so overwhelming. She kept asking us if we needed anything. She gave us some sort of sweet, cold wine and we tried to decline but she did not seem to care that we did not want her wine…
The salon is not clean, the techs are no skilled and the head person is pushy.
