The Nail Lounge

1 fill with gel and French tips The - WORST fill ever!!!The sides of my nails look like shit! No oil, moisturizer, NOTHING! The place was packed- good for the salon! The guy who gave me a fill took approximately 10mins! When the "fill part was done , each hand went under the light ONE time , after applying the white tip color he only applied ONE coat of top or clear polish, quickly cleaned up his tools and said thank you !? I was a bit confused, then when he got up and left I knew he was done! Quick, half ass job done in 10 mins flat! When I complain to the boss, she wasn't fazed in the least . I've had my nails filled from MANY different nail salons and I won't be coming back for to this place

It can get a little pricey but my nails always last sooo long. The ladies are nice and accommodating as well! Also a huge place. Never had to wait!

I was losing all hope in going to nail salon until I came here! Such a great nail salon with a friendly staff! Extremely professional and organized. Joy did my nails, so gentle with the drill and did a really well painting overall. The vibe is very soft, relaxing, and a bunch of TV's to watch while your hands are not free! Ryan did the full set with a bow detail! He was very kind and helpful. At checkout, they gifted me an orange cuticle oil and a rose scented cuticle oil. Overall, loved this place and I will only be going here from now on!

I returned to the lounge. This time for my nails. I went to Ben. He was so nice and experienced. We discussed exactly what I wanted. He delivered -- natural looking nails w/ a coffin shape. He offered me Vietnamese coffee on I was well. I suggest you ask for Ben!!! This was great.

I was excited to this fairly new nail salon in town. I am pretty low maintenance- usually just a pedicure, sometimes a very simple manicure. I like a salon that is clean and not strong chemical smelling, and where they don't try to upsell me on everything. The Nail Lounge was all of those things. And not too busy mid-afternoon- I only waited about 2 minutes as a walk in. The pedicure was really nice- I loved the leg scrub and long massage. My polish job was good and has lasted over a week now. My tech never tried to upsell me to gel after I told her what I wanted. She asked if I wanted to add a manicure and this is when it got interesting. I decided my cuticles could use some attention but that I didn't want polish. (I'm a pianist; I keep my nails short and simple.) She took me to a table that first of all didn't have a wrist rest, even though almost all of the others were available. She filed my nails and trimmed my cuticles VERY quickly, ran over the tops of my nails with the scratchy orange sponge (I still have scratch marks on my nails) and then asked if I wanted them buffed. Well yeah, now I do! She pulled out one of those 4 sided things you buy at Walmart and did some halfhearted "buffing." The hand/arm massage, again, was nice. Here's the kicker. I went to check out and my tech told the cashier what to charge (in Vietnamese). It seemed a little high to me when I saw $30 for the manicure. So I tipped only 10%, figuring that would balance it out. I grabbed a pamphlet/menu on my way out and in the car I saw the actual prices for a manicure. I think for the "manicure" I got, $20 would have been fair; $25 at the most. Maybe even the "child" $15 price!Now if you've read this far and are waiting for a great story, sorry to disappoint. I did not go storming back in and demand a refund. My lowball tip was good enough for me. I will probably go back because it's a nice place with a relaxing vibe. I really liked the tempo of the pedicure. I will not get another manicure here. For what I wanted, I could do that myself. Buyer beware: know your prices ahead of time!!

Julia did such a great job and took her time to make sure my nails looked perfect! she is the best! thank you Julia for your professionalism and taking care of me.

My go to place in Corpus Christi - very good quality, especially for the price! Salon is very clean, quick, and my nails always look great. Would recommend!

I would not recommend this nail salon to friends and family I went in and requested a pedicure and was seated and was not greeted by the woman who was providing my service and she was more interested in her phone the first 30mins of my service and did not offer any beverages I had to request a water and I let the situation of her being on her phone go for a while (while I read my book) until she sat there in front of me for multiple minutes not doing my service texting on her phone..i had to put down my device and stare at her until she saw me looking at her and she finally put her phone down.. I get that situations come up and if that is the case the situation and cell phone should be taken to the back and should not be done in front of a customer... at the end of my service she followed me up to the register and stood by the checkout lady.. and waited to see if if I was going to give her a tip.. the cashier did not even ask me if I wanted to tip her. She just got my change and gave it to my service provider... I think that is very rude to not ask a customer if they want to tip and for you to decide on your own to give the service provider a tip from my leftover change.. I had to pull my provider aside and tell her that I was not satisfied with my service by her and that the only reason I was fine with giving her the change was because she did the service not because she did a good job...I had no choice if I wanted to give her a tip because the cashier lady just handed her my change.. she did not ask if I wanted to give the woman who gave me my pedicure. She just gave her my Change

Modified Review: my shellack lasted 9 days, then 2 fingers started peeling. Should last 2-3 weeks. Usually does. Not sure I will go back.

The best in Corpus! They do short nails well and take their time with the pedicures, especially the massage!!!
