Hi, We're Petal & Polish

A Nail Bar That Feels Like a Treat

We opened Petal & Polish in 2020 because Austin deserved a nail bar that was equal parts spotless and joyful — somewhere you'd actually look forward to going.

So we built it: bright and bubbly, obsessively clean, with a team of nail artists who treat every set like a tiny work of art. Whether you want a clean classic mani or a wild custom design, you'll leave happier than you came in. That's kind of the whole point.

  • Nail artists who love what they do
  • Bright, spotless, genuinely happy space
  • Custom designs — bring us your inspo
  • Walk-ins welcome, booking recommended
Why Petal & Polish

The Little Things We're Obsessed With

Because a manicure should feel as good as it looks — and last way longer than you'd expect.

Spotless, Every Time

Hospital-grade sterilization, single-use files, and sealed tools opened in front of you. Clean is non-negotiable here.

Real Nail Artists

Bring a screenshot, a vibe, or nothing at all — our artists design custom sets that turn heads and hold up.

A Genuinely Happy Hour

Comfy chairs, good music, warm towels, and a team that's actually glad you're here. It's the best part of our day too.

Mani-cures That Last

Proper prep and premium gel and dip mean your color stays chip-free for weeks, not days.

Gentle, Quality Products

Better-for-you polishes and nourishing soaks that are kind to your nails — and smell amazing.

Everyone's Welcome

Solo treat, group celebration, or a kid's first mani — we make every chair feel like the VIP seat.

What Austin Says About Us

Best nail art in Austin, hands down. I brought a Pinterest screenshot and they somehow made it even cuter. Three weeks later not a single chip. This is my forever spot.
Mia R.Nail Art & Gel, South Lamar
The pedicure is unreal — the massage chairs, the warm towels, the little extras. I come in stressed and float out. Worth every penny and then some.
Jordana L.Luxury Pedicure, Zilker
I'm so picky about cleanliness and Petal & Polish is spotless. Fresh files, sealed tools, the whole thing. Plus it's just a genuinely happy place to spend an hour.
Priya S.Signature Manicure, Travis Heights
Took my daughter for her first mani-pedi and the staff made her feel like a total VIP. We both left grinning. Now it's our little monthly tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?

Both work! We always try to keep chairs open for walk-ins, but weekends and evenings get busy — booking online guarantees your spot and your artist.

Can you do custom nail art from a photo?

Absolutely, that's our favorite thing. Bring a screenshot, a Pinterest board, or just a vibe, and our nail artists will design something custom. Complex art may take a little longer, so mention it when you book.

How do you keep everything clean?

Very seriously. Stations are sanitized between every guest, files and buffers are single-use, and all metal tools are hospital-grade autoclave sterilized and sealed until opened in front of you. Pedicure liners are fresh every time.

How long does gel or dip last?

With proper prep — which we never skip — gel and dip manicures typically last two to three weeks chip-free, often longer. We'll send you home with simple after-care tips to make them last.

Do you do kids' manicures?

We do! Our Kids' Mani-Pedi is gentle, fun, and makes little ones feel like total VIPs. It's a favorite first-spa-day tradition for Austin families.

What does it cost?

It depends on the service and any custom art, and we're always upfront about pricing before we start. Tell us what you're after when you book and we'll give you a clear quote — no surprises.
