miss the old days

by ggirlchacha

I started going here when it first opened (3 years ago?). Back then, I recommended IPS every chance I got because it was such a treat - relaxing, great customer service, awesome selection of pedicures. Now, however, I hesitate to recommend it to anyone because the last few times I've gone I've left feeling a bit fleeced. Maybe my expectation of what a $68 pedicure experience should be is unrealistic, but I should at least feel like I had a nice, relaxing hour (hour-ish, really) instead of feeling rushed and tense ( I had to contort my body in the booth in order to have a manicure and pedicure at the same time). I never know the name of my technician because she seems way too busy to bother with that detail. I've taken my daughter and her friends there several times for princess pedi and manis, but I probably won't again because the last time I found out afterwards that the technician basically manhandled my daughter throughout the entire session and was flat out rude to her. I miss the old days!!

• Pros: cool selection of pedicures
• Cons: overpriced

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

by andreablatche

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. RECEIVED A GIFT CERTIFICATE FROM MY FRIEND AND WAS RELUCTANT TO GO. NOW I CANT STOP GOING! THE NAIL TECHS ARE GREAT AND SKILLED. THE PLACE IS CLEAN AND THE STAFF ARE FRIENDLY. THE LIST OF SERVICES IS ENDLESS AND FUN. THE PEDICURES ARE GREAT GIFTS. THEY EVEN HAVE A PRIVATE ROOM FOR COUPLES.

• Pros: CUSTOMER SERVICE, GREAT TECHS
• Cons: VERY BUSY

say no thanks to acrylics

by sweettxgirl

Absolutly love this spa, its very relaxing and oh so pretty & the people are very sweet ,however , I would NOT recommend getting a manicure here !!!! Absolute waste of money , you can go anywhere else for the quality they give on acrylic nails , and pay much much less !!! I paid $70 for a horrible nail job!!! HORRIBLE ! The pedicure was AWESOME and well worth the money. Please take my advice and DONT waste your money.... but do try other services on their menu....

• Pros: lovely atmosphere
• Cons: Horrible acrylic nails

• Pros: Relaxing

Perfect pedicure!

by truebeauty28

After one visit to Isle PediSpa, I'm sold! It was even better than I expected. The staff is courteous, and the pedicure was amazing! They offer you drinks and let you watch TV or just relax. Best of all, it was a very clean environment. I have already recommended it to my friends.

• Pros: Friendly staff, clean store, good value
• Cons: none

best waxing ever

by leslie1212

My friend told me about this place because she normally gets her waxing service here. I wanted to find somewhere to get some waxing done since it was my first time recieving a bikinni wax. She told me to ask for Shelly because she fast and friendly. I made an appiontment with the receptionest, who was very pleasent to talk to. I did had some trouble finding parking but i figure because it was Saturday noon. I checked in and sat down for 2-3 mins. Shelly came and escort me to this lovely room for waxing. She asked what service I wanted and if I was sensitive to any wax products. She made me feel comfortable and adsure it will be quick and less painful. She talked to me during the session so that I am drawn away from the pain of waxing. I was in and out in less than 30 mins. I am very please with the service at Ilse Pedispa and absolutely coming back for more services!

• Pros: friendly, clean, very professsional
• Cons: parking

AMAZING MANI/PEDI!!

by uptowngirl123

this place is absoloutely amazing..everyone tells me its usually always busy but on black friday i figured everyone would be shopping so i called and got in for both my mom and i!! from the outside it doesnt look like anything more than a corner nail salon. once you get inside they took us to our own private room for 2 people..it was so nice there was a plasma tv, served us drinks, we were on a big couch. it is VERY EXPENSIVE. it ended up being $225 for 2 manicures and 2 pedicures. i wish i could come every weekend its just too expensive :-(

• Pros: friendly staff, wonderful service
• Cons: very expensive

Won't go anywhere else in Houston

by nixnix

I started going here about a year and a half ago- after reading all the great reviews. I've ALWAYS been so very happy with my manicures and pedicures here. Everyone is so polite [and employees only speak in English while working, which, sorry if that sounds rude- but I find that to be way more respectful of clients].

It's true about the Mimosas. That's another reason i'm getting up this early on a Saturday to go get a mani/pedi. Last time I was there was the last week of August- and i'm not one that takes really good care of her toes- and my pedicure is still there! [yes, it doesn't look GREAT anymore, but it's 7 WEEKS later!]

I've never needed to go back for chip repair- because everything has lasted so long. Only complaint- is that the last time- there was a client who was on her cell phone the whole time- which I found to be very disrespectful [wish they would put a sign up- and that the world would learn some manners]- but that's not their fault. They do have more private rooms in the back, that you might be able to request. Anyways, I love love love this place- it's so clean, and they have great customer service. You could get cheaper mani/pedis elsewhere- but you'd probably be lacking in professionalism, cleanliness, comfort [personal tvs, warm neck pillows, whatever you want to drink at no extra charge!], and a lot more. For what you get, it's well worth it if not a bargain.

• Pros: Long lasting, great value, comfort, professional, CLEAN
• Cons: NONE the business... just wish clients would know it's rude to blab on your cell phone when people around you are in relax mode!

LOYAL AND HAPPY CUSTOMER

by sjp39

BEEN COMING HERE FOR 5 YEARS NOW AND LOVING IT. THE GIRLS TAKE SUCH GOOD CARE OF ME AND THE FRONT DESK IS AMAZING. THEY HAVE PEDICURES RANGING FROM $28 AND UP. THERE IS A PRICE RANGE FOR EVERYONE SO I DO NOT THINK THEY ARE OVERPRICED. TRUST AND COMFORT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY FEET. I LOVE IT HERE!
