The Redefined Campaign

Beauty, Redefined.

Redefined is our celebration of individuality, the belief that beauty, culture, fashion and lifestyle are at their most striking when they are entirely your own.

At Drip Nail Salon, every set is an extension of the person wearing it. Our mission is simple: to support your creativity and style, and to help you project it, one considered detail at a time.

And we believe in building lasting relationships with our clients, not simply completing transactions. Every visit is about trust, consistency and an exceptional experience you'll want to come back to.

Coming Soon

Our Spring Branch location opens Fall 2026.

My nail tech is an absolute gem! Seriously, she's the best, no contest. She's been doing my nails now for years! I love her so much! Her talent for creating intricate designs on tiny nail beds blows me away every time. I usually stroll in without a clue of what I want, and just let her unleash her creativity. My nails always turn out amazing, and I get compliments nonstop! Plus, she's super personable, making every appointment feel comfortable. I can't wait for my next visit!

I absolutely LOVE coming to Drip Nail Salon to get my nails done. My favorite nail artist here is the best. She not only loves to take nail designs to the next level, she also educates me on nail care and keeps me up to date on the latest trends. I take my nails seriously and she keeps me feeling fly. 10/10!!!

My nail tech here is seriously the best I've been to! She's super fast without ever sacrificing quality, every set is so precise and clean. She's also so fun to talk to, which makes every appointment enjoyable. Her designs are always creative, and if you bring in any inspo picture, she can recreate it perfectly while still tweaking it to fit your style. I always leave obsessed with my nails. Highly recommend booking with her!

I have been going to Drip for about a year now, and it has been the BEST experience! Appointments are super easy to set up and you receive reminders well in advance. I'm recognized by name when I arrive, and I am always served a drink of my choosing. My nail tech is super dope and has been keeping my feet in shape! I know I can be hard on my dogs, so getting pedicures is a must. She makes sure to give me sound advice I can use for self-maintenance and holds me to it when I check in lol! Good conversation, friendly staff, positive vibes (the music is ALWAYS ON POINT), and customer service is A1. What more could you ask for? I will continue to make that drive to Drip Nail Salon!

I genuinely had such a wonderful experience at Drip Nail Salon. From the moment I walked in, everyone was kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt calm and comfortable. You can truly tell how much care they put into their work. My nail artist paid attention to every detail, took her time, and made sure I loved everything before I left. It's rare to find a salon that is both talented and genuinely thoughtful with their clients. I left feeling so happy with my nails and overall experience. I'll absolutely be coming back again!

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

Gel extensions are full coverage soft gel tips that add instant length in five sizes from X-Short to X-Long. Every set includes a dry manicure and gel polish, which is part of why extensions are priced higher, the service takes more time and a full manicure is built in. Builder gel, soft or hard, is an overlay applied to your natural nail for added strength and structure without extra length.

Luxury pedicures run from about 30 minutes for the Citrine up to 80 minutes for the Rose Quartz. Manicures, extensions and nail art vary by service and design, so we recommend booking ahead so we can reserve the right amount of time for you.

Gel polish can be added to any manicure or pedicure for $20. Gel extension sets already include a dry manicure and gel polish.

Yes, walk-ins are welcome at our Houston Heights salon. Booking ahead guarantees your time and lets us pair you with the right technician, but if you're in the neighborhood, come on in.

Yes. Guests under nine can enjoy a kids manicure for $15, a pedicure for $20 or both for $30, with gel polish available as an add on.
