I have the best service and nails of my life coming to Aiko compared to any other nail studio I have been to before. Aiko and her staff are unquestionably dedicated, attentive, and unparalleled in their craft. The attention to detail and results are excellent every time; my nails have never been this healthy and beautiful. The policies are very transparent and clear; I know exactly what to expect and everything is very professional with always feeling friendly and welcoming. The studio is incredibly clean and spotless. The ambience is cozy, inviting, and you feel comfortable right away. There are a variety of complimentary refreshments and always nice music playing softly in the background. I am really happy I took a chance on going to this studio, and I hope you give them a try as well! I get compliments on my nails everyday.”

I have never been disappointed!

I’ve been getting manicures and pedicures with Aiko for 2 years now. She is an absolute perfectionist with insane attention to detail. She offers so many things for your nails from free hand designs, dried flowers, foils, and so much more—I always get compliments on my nails from strangers! She truly cares about her clients’ nail health, and her space is incredibly clean and everything sterilized. You can also always ask her questions about the process. I’ve learned so much about my nails and she is a fantastic teacher! I cannot recommend Aiko and her services enough! She is so kind, fun to talk with, knowledgeable, passionate about her work, and you’ll always leave loving your nails!”

I am a visual and hands on learner, and Aiko was there with me every step of the way.

“I‘d like to say that Aiko had the patience of a saint working with me. I’d been following her online for some time, watching her craft. One thing that drew me to the dry manicure technique is the attention to detail. During our time working together I learned about the importance of sterilizing instruments, proper nail prep (great for retention), different bits and their purpose. I learned how to apply structure gel to give a streak free finish, removal of polish. When I was learning the technique, Aiko was there to guide me when I needed redirection. Taking this class gave me the knowledge and confidence to continue to grow in my art. It also taught me the importance of executing each step adequately as they build upon each other. I highly recommend taking this class. Thank you SO MUCH, Queen!”

I highly recommend this salon for Russian manicures!

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I have become an unofficial Russian manicure connoisseur, and I have enjoyed going around Austin trying different salons and being able to write about my experiences here. It was my first time visiting Moon Glow, mainly because they were the only salon in town with availability on the Sunday I desperately needed to get my nails done! Vitalia was my nail tech, and she greeted with my with a warm and friendly attitude. She offered me a drink, and I opted for a La Croix. Vitalia took great care of my nails from start to finish, and we even got to try out stamping on a few of my nails! The cost was also the most reasonable of all the Austin salons I’ve been to so far.”
