Embellish Nails & Boutique

05/12/2008 Posted by pbnelson

I got the first pedicure in my life at Embellish several weeks ago (Thank you, Carla!) and went back again with some friends last week and got the second (Thanks, Becky!) Embellish is very pink and very girly, and I am not, but I still felt completely comfortable. All of the staff are friendly, conversational, and helpful. Attention to detail was evident in the lovely furnishings, heated neck wraps, and free water, soda or wine. I found great birthday cards and gifts for friends in the boutique area (candles, t-shirts, flip flops, soaps, jewelry, cute watches, lots of styles of purses) and they sell the best chocolate truffles that I have ever had. Prices range from: "I'll buy these in several colors" to "she had better appreciate this."

I was given a gift certificate to embellish and used it for a pedicure. It was more like a mini spa experience than a typical pedicure experience. Number 1: warm friendly people, who seem to enjoy their work. 2: did not feel like I was on an assembly line and the staff actually make eye contact with customers.3:no smell from acrylic nails (thankfully they don't offer that) 4: the atmosphere is elegant without being pretentious.

I've only tried the mani with Carla, but she did a great job. I'm from out of town, but I will be recommending this place to all my friends. It's worth the trip! The hot towel neck wrap took away all my tension. I love the soap they sell! Spa Splash is my favorite! It has coconut oil in it, and it smells great! I also love their candles. The atmosphere is so relaxing, it feels like an escape, an oasis in the city! It's a beautifully decorated salon, the prettiest one I've ever visited. I highly recommend it to everyone! The prices are so reasonable, and the atmosphere is wonderful! Kudos to the owners!

Pros: Reasonable prices, personal service, elegant environment, great products

Cons: None

Looking for a nail salon where you can talk to the fun and friendly staff, hang out with your girlfriends, watch entertainment television and get quality service? Embellish has it all plus great shopping opportunities - from cool shirts to purses, candles and more. You can also get waxing - I got the best eyebrow waxing I have had there. I even brought my 3-month-old in the last time I needed a wax and all the employees were so sweet to him. Definitely recommend it!

Pros: Friendly employees, fun atmosphere and lots of pampering

Cons: none

Cutiest place ever! I didn't have to worry about cleanliness.Very reasonably priced manicure, pedicures no acrylics nails so the place smells wonderful. Great earrings, bracelets, t-shirts and candles. My girlfriend and I had a great time and we both look forward to going back... $50 for a Mani & Pedi combo, my service was fantastic Taneil (that's who did my service) was very cute, professional and did a great job. I didn't feel rushed, the atmosphere is relaxed and fun and I enjoyed a heated neck wrap they give you to wear during your service. I too highly recommend Embellish for anyone looking for high quality treatments, in a fun environment, for very affordable prices!

Pros: Great atmosphere, professional service at a great price, bottomless M&M's

Cons: None

This place is great and so fun! Just went and got a manicure this past weekend - Great service, great atmosphere, and super cute items in the boutique section. Loved the warm neck wrap, complimentary beverages, and it was ultra hygenic - they even gave me my buffer and file in a neat little gift bag after my mani - and opened my tools right in front of me- will definitely go back again!!!

Pros: Great prices, ultra hygenic, super fun atmosphere!

Cons: can't complain about a thing!

Embellish is my new favorite place in Austin. I received the best manicure ever last Friday. The staff was warm and the service thorough; no short cuts with my manicure. I love that Austin now has a salon that is sanitary, very "girly" and reasonably priced. How often have you walked into a salon and been disappointed by the "cheap" or "cheesy" decor? You won't have that feeling at Embellish, it's lovely. Another plus; "America's Next Top Model" playing on the TV. One of my favorite TV shows. Please check this place out! Can't wait to go back for my next manicure and to purchase one of the adorable purses sold at the front of the store.

Pros: warm staff, cute and girly atmosphere

Cons: none

What an absolutely adorable, fun, and great place! This is unlike any other "nail" place in town. From the minute you walk in you know you're in for a treat!! They greated me by offering me a soda, wine, water, etc. - I enjoyed looking at the fun (& affordable) items they have to sell, including "blinged" out caps, cute frames, jewelery, candles, etc!! I was then "treated" with a hot (great smelling) neck wrap (how'd they know I had tension!!??). Jennifer did a great job on my nails and was so sweet to talk with. I chatted with the new owners (WONDERFUL GALS) - from the decor to the services, this is a GEM!! I can't recommend this cute lil' shop high enough...wishing you well ladies!!! Tell them you read "great things" about them on CitySearch PS - I even left with a little goody bag (yeah!) & enjoyed "dining" on their BIG bowl of red & pink M & M's!! my kinda place for sure ; )

Pros: everything about the place is wonderful!! Great french manicure...cute cute cute decor

Cons: nada

Went here tonight with a group of ladies from work for an alternative to Happy Hour! I enjoyed myself so MUCH...The ladies there are AMAZING! I love the atmosphere..It's cool that for a few extra dollars I can communicate with everyone there & how have to worry about hygine/cleanliness (everything is either sterile or one use only-I rec'd a "gift bag" with my files, buffers& pumice to take home with me)..and Oh what fun we had discussing Project Runway! The decor is BEAUTIFUL! I love the pinks, browns, and all the little extra things I can pick up to treat myself and it's all so reasonably priced...earrings, bracelets, gift cards, t-shirts, even cute flip-flops to wear home if i don't want to mess up my polish! We had a great time and I look forward to going back... $50 for a Mani/Pedi combo-plus the 10% off for mentioning Citysearch and my goodie bag...In my opinion you can't go wrong here... Good Luck ladies and what a great concept!

Pros: Great prices, nice/efficient staff/employees, grat service

Cons: none...

This is the CUTEST nail place I've ever been to. I don't want to even call it a "nail salon". The decor is adorable. You feel like your inside a very chic doll house. They have a great retail section up front in which you can get adorable and INEXPENSIVE jewelry, candles, purses, and more. I bought two pairs of earrings and a nice looking black purse for less than $40!!! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and fun. You definitely feel at ease and if you don't feel like chatting you can watch TV or sit and enjoy a heated neck pillow and a beverage. Best of all this place is affordable! The quality of the service you receive is comprable to that of a high end salon but you don't pay those high prices. I highly recommend Embellish for anyone looking for high quality treatments, in a fun environment, for very affordable prices!

Pros: Complimentary Beverages, Snacks, Affordable Prices

Cons: None!
