While they do have a sign that walkins are welcome- I would not suggest doing that on the weekend. I went in on a Saturday at 10am and they were able to see me about 30 min later but they were definitely understaffed for how many people were there, and it took 2 hours with all the waiting. It got even more crowded as I was leaving. The pedicure was nice, they were great about giving updates about what was next and did apologize for the waits. I know other nail salons were closed due to lunar New Year and maybe that was why it was understaffed? I am not going to go back unless I have an appointment, and I would only do appts early in the day on a weekend or on a weekday. read more

Called for appointment arrived welcoming greeting, chose my color, Rose took very good care of me she is so pleasant and glow from authenticity! I really appreciate the attention to detail massage chair, stones, leg massage, hot cloth and the check in to make sure I'm happy and comfortable! It's the perfect place to go conveniently located next to shaws and planet fitness waterville. I can't speak of other peoples experience but my experience was 10/10 start to finish! I also love the art work and fish tank. Plenty of options fair pricing. grateful to have a spot that mimics San Diego CA nail spa I used to go to read more

I came in, politely asked for a new set and a pedi. The gentleman at the front YELLED at me to go sit at "chair 5" I mistakenly went to TABLE 5. He began yelling "FIVE, FIVE, CHAIR, chair!!" Okay, I apologized. I sat down at the chair. I told the lady I wanted black gel on my toes. She was whispering, I expressed I'm hard of hearing. (I literally wear hearing aids) she rolled her eyes and continued whispering. I just guessed and agreed. She says, "fill?" I told her no, I need a new set. It's been a while in the first place but I had also set my acrylic on fire the night before lighting a candle. She assured me I just needed a fill. I explained that I needed a new set. At this point, I was getting frustrated and I become more stern. She began speaking her first language to her coworkers in a very exasperated tone. A man comes over and goes "you just need a fill." I said, sure okay, whatever, I don't care. He laughed and goes "OKKKK NEW SET WE CAN DO IT FOR YOU" No. I don't want it. The pedi was a fine experience beyond the arguing. The poor girl who did my nails was ridiculed so much from the men there that she actually started shaking and rushing to be done. My nails are a complete mess and crooked. I felt bad for her, because she was sweet and doing her best in poor conditions but I won't be going back. read more

I went to 90's Nails and Spa for the first time today and I paid $90 for a full set with coffin shape, gel polish, designs and a matte top coat. The shape is great, a few of the black nails are a little bumpy and when I questioned if they were completely cured because there was a part of my nail that was still glossy - the woman put another coat of the matte top coat on all of the nails that are black and ended up getting the dust from her using the dremel mixed in; I let that go, cured two more times, I asked again if they were done, I was told yes - but my nails were still a little tacky and before I could say anything, she moved the curing lights back to the shelf -- so there were fuzzies sticking to my nails. They're good and the design is good, very similar to the inspo pic but for almost $100; I didn't expect to have bumps and dust ‍ All of the people working there were talking in their native language and that would've been fine... had they not looked at me, chuckled then talked to each other, looked back at me and continued talking - like they were making fun of me for something or another. Maybe it was innocent conversation but it definitely felt like they were saying something about me read more

If I could give no stars, I would. I had an appointment at 10AM. When I arrived there was a sign on the door. "Closed for flooding. We will be at CD nails in Augusta." Seriously? What? I just drove 25 minutes to get here. So I called CD nails and spoke to a woman there who was from 90's salon. I asked why I hadn't been called. She said the flooding happened at 10PM and they hadn't really thought about it. Their customers, that is. They hadn't really thought about their customers. Rather than make any apology or offer any explanation as to why I didn't even merit a voicemail, she simply said. "You can come to Augusta." I have a 5 month old baby and a babysitter I booked JUST so I could go out and have one lousy pedicure. NO. No, I can't just drive 40 minutes to Augusta now. I said, "Do you want to offer me a free pedicure, or a gift card, or anything to make up for this?" She said, "No, I don't think I will be doing that." So, I said, "Ok, I guess I'll just go on Yelp and yell, I mean..." Then she sighed and said, "Ok, fine." Then she hung up on me. Thanks for the amazing service. You do Maine proud. I won't be back. Obviously. read more

I got plain white almond shape maybe like an inch long and this girl charged me 85$ dollars. 85 DOLLARS! They didn't even tell me before they did them. They took total advantage of me.

90's Nails and Spa - What I wanted - Nail Salons Near Me - Waterville, Maine

I decided to give this place a chance, at first I wanted a full set acrylics but then decided to also get a pedicure. My pedicure came out okay and I'm fine with it but my nails don't look ANYTHING like the picture I showed him. I specifically said to make sure the acrylic wasn't too thick because I wanted a more natural look and he insisted that it be thicker because of the "cold weather" my nails are crooked, uneven, and he cut me a couple times with the machine. When he was cutting the extensions he never compared each finger to make sure they're even. And my "French tips" are completely uneven. In the photos I shared what I showed him and what I got. I'm never going back here! Definitely would NOT recommend going here. read more

Worst experience ever! Rude yelling at custumers! Gave good tip and were yelling at children! Very good job but poor manners and would never go back or recommend! Worst exerperience in town!would not give them One star! read more

I made an appointment for a pedicure for 1:00 and showed up promptly. They didn't start working on me until ten minutes before 2:00. They also changed the person who was going to do my pedicure 3 times, finally settling on a gentleman whose hands shook so badly he smeared polish all over my toes. They claimed it was because I was only getting a pedicure and the other customers who arrived after me, without appointments, were getting manicures and pedicures. So I got pushed to the end of the line. I'm not happy with this place at all. read more

For as busy as it was when I went, I didn't feel rushed through my visit. The gentleman that did my nails was attentive, listened to what I wanted, asked to see my reference photo a couple of times, and worked with skill and efficiency. The result? Perfectly shaped (by hand) stiletto nails, exactly as I wanted them. I was so pleased with the results and have gotten so many compliments on them! The actual space is clean, open, and comfortable. The pedicures look divine (there was a woman getting one as I was getting my set) and I can't wait to go back to have one! read more

90's Nails and Spa - Perfectly hand shaped stiletto nails! I'm so happy with them! - Nail Salons Near Me - Waterville, Maine

*****Worst nail experience ever. Let me just mention my sisters wedding is in 2 days, we made an appointment for today and actually got right in. We were pumped. My sister wanted this cute like french ombre look. Well she got orange and no ombre. They guy said he would and then when confronted said no sorry. So she got a nudeish orangy color that wasnt even close to what she wanted. I feel horrible. The lady I had killed my nails and filed them so much it was painful. She continued to keep gluing her fingers to mine forcing her to not gently rip them apart. I wanted my nails short and even reiterated after asking for shorter again. Trying to not be a pain I just said fine. My nails are so uneven and different lengths its embarassing. They should be embarrassed.. She kept telling me to relax while forcing me into insane positions just to shape and file my nails. And this wasnt my first time so I know what normally happens. I have never been yelled at or blamed for someones inability to do their JOB. I have washed my hands multiple times since leaving 5 hours ago and STILL have SOO MUCH glue on my fingers. I have never left anywhere with one drop of glue anywhere but my nails. And DEFINITELY have never had a nail tech glue their fingers to mine. If you want quality or even decent nails this is not the place. They are rude and have no desire to make your experience good. read more

Finally!! A nail salon in the Waterville area that listened to what I wanted. Not what they thought. And they did them in half the time. I have a new nail salon. Thank you Jason. These are the best nails I've had done in a long time. read more

Don't recommend, went in for a simple fill. left with a mess nails were thick, un-even, and look like a five year old painted them. I have dried acrylic on the sides of my fingers and stuck under the nail. To make matters worse they charged $60 and took over a hour. I paid less to have the set done new across town and the service was fast and my nails looked 100x better. I definitely won't being using this salon again! read more

Very BAD and SLOWWW service. Fill = 2.5 hours and still looked horrible. Got to the salon at 2:45 on a Friday for a gel fill and reshape (risky time- I know). I got lucky, and there was only one person in front of me, and 4 workers who were all working on people. I sat in the waiting room from 2:45 until 3:30, I would have left if I knew it'd be this long but they said only 15 minutes, and at this point if I left it'd take as much time to drive and wait somewhere else. I finally get to a person, and they take off my gel and take off where I want them cut down a bit. Almost EVERY nail was uneven length (some much shorter than I wanted). When I said something about it he said the next person would take care of it. I get moved to the next table and wait for ANOTHER 35 MINUTES. I finally get moved to a woman who is going to do the actual fill. She takes 20 minutes just shaping it, even though that was the only job of the previous table. I wanted coffin), and when I said that they looked pretty uneven she tried to go back and fix them, but complained the whole time "this is very hard" and explaining every angle she had to file it. She filed one nail so vigorously that she cut my finger multiple times. It's honestly not that hard and for a nail tech you should be able to do this. She says the coffin is an extra $5. I really can't spend anymore time here, as I do have a life and things to do, so I just let it go. (Some square, some are narrow square, none coffin). She then applies my color and only does two coats (at every other salon I've been to, it's 3). I've waited about 2.5 weeks to post this, so they've grown a bit. But you can see how translucent, streaky, and horribly shaped they are for coffin. I got out of there at about 5:15. A 2 and a half hour time in the salon. For a simple fill and only ONE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. Can't wait to get these off and NEVER come back. read more

I asked for brown French tips with a coffin shape. I wanted them to be short but instead I got long, pink square nails. I asked for them to be shorter and she said it would be an extra charge. I was not very happy with the outcome of my nails, and was charged $75 dollars for something that did not match what I asked for. read more

I've been coming here for 3.5 years & the service has considerably declined. Stephen aka Seven was absolutely amazing!!!! He did a pedicure & fill in 1.5 hours and was so particular about his work. He was the best!!! When he wasn't there I would go to Rose. If you've ever been herr it doesn't matter if you make an appointment Jason overbooks his nail techs. I came in yesterday to get a pedicure & fill and it was only 1 hour for both. So rushed and no compassion. (Rough) When I called this morning I said I didn't want to wait when I got there. 37 minutes later and they finally start my toes. They even had the audacity to tell me that because I asked for it to be dark she put 2 coats on with the 2nd coat so thick it was disgusting!!! Went to bed at 11 & they were fine, woke up this morning and 4 of them were ruined. They made me feel like because I asked them to be dark she put on 3 coats (total lie) I'm looking for a new salon to go to asap!!! They do not treat their repeat customers nicely at all. Then they speak in Vietnamese about you. Plan out rude. I've never left a review anywhere but felt that I had had enough!!! read more

I have been going to 90's nail for 3 years. The last 3 months have been a horrible experiences (thought I'd give them another chance) but still had rude staff. Gel had not lasted, last time there waited forever while they took people who walked in for pedicures (they are more money), the lady who did my nails broke 3 of them (natural nails) and slopped some glue on them and the gel had come off in less than 2 weeks. I will not be going back after I watched them take a dish that another persons hands were soaking in rinsed it and used it for another customer! If you value your nails do not go there. read more

Worst service I've had at a salon. Ever. Not one employee could be bothered to greet us or acknowledge we were there. Very rude. After waiting 15-20 minutes we were lead to the pedi chairs and left there to wait. We sat with our feet in luke warm water for almost an hour. Nobody made eye contact or spoke to us. An elderly lady beside us sat with feet in water waiting for her pedi for over 40 minutes and said she had been going there for years, has the same guy consistantly and spends $60 for her pedi every time. She got up & put her shoes back on and left. Nobody spoke to her or apologized. Just as we were ready to get up & leave two techs came to start on us. I mentioned we had been left there sitting for an hour. His response was "we are very hungry and need a break". I explained that they should atleast tell us how long we will have to wait & not just ignore us and leave us to sit in cold water. There was no apology or concern. No apology for getting polish on my flip flops either. Will not go back. read more

Bad service. Junk product. Bubbling, yellowed. Cut skin, infections, no sanitizer anywhere. Etc etc etc See our other reviews across the internet. WAY to many complaints to list. Disgusting read more

Took me at appointment time rather condescending but that's ok. The check out was the problem. Sign says fill is $15 and pedicure is $25. So the receptionist looks at the gut and he says $47. So I say how can it be 47.? The receptionist says we should change the sign, $15. Is a starting price. He says it was $2. Extra because you wanted your nailed filed. What a crazy concept file my nails during a manicure. Ok so that still dose t equal $47.? We charged $5. Because you wanted your nails rounded. As he just stood there smirking. I said I have never ever Ben charged extra for nail shape. I feel like I paid a "sap" tax. No concern about his posted prices Never ever give this shop a chance to screw you read more

New to the area. Made an appointment for my husband and myself to get pedis together. Finally put in water to soak 30 min after appointment time. My husband's pedi got started while I waited. After about 15 min I was told 2 min till someone would be over to start mine, 15 min later I was started. My husband's pedi lasted an hour, mine 1/2 hour, same pedi, same price. The tech my husband had was amazing, attention to detail and thorough, mine rushed. He had another appointment waiting. They are clearly overbooking and taking walk-ins when they have appointments scheduled. Although my husband may go back, I will not. read more

First time I went here approximately six weeks ago, I picked the classic pedicure which included a really nice foot massage and some hot stones being rubbed around my legs for a few minutes. This time, I went back mainly to get a foot massage with the pedicure thrown in, and no foot massage and 90 seconds worth of hot stones rubbed on my legs. The chairs are your typical 15-year-old massage chairs that don't really work well. The owner or manager is rude and combative. He just seems angry at the world. I won't be back. read more

I've been to this salon twice for pedicures and both times took an extremely long time with poor customer service. Once the polish chipped off after 3 days. The next time the employee walked away from my chair to do other things 6-7 times! read more

Had a mani/pedi yesterday & I loved it because it reminds me of the nail salons I used to frequent in NY. & it's HALF the price of most Waterville salons!! I suppose Asian culture takes getting used to for some people, but you have to understand some do not understand English very well. The owner does though. I thought it was pretty clean, nail instruments were sealed in pre-sanitized packages. "Tony" was very good, although I prefer a female to do my nails. I will definitely return. read more

I have been going to this salon for 2/5 years. Loved it when Tony was there but when he left , I started with Seven. I always have an appointment as I fit it in with my work. The last couple of months, they have been treating me as if I can sit there and wait for them all day. They make me wait and today was the last time.. I had an appointment and he took someone else at 5 minutes before my appointed time even though I was there. I will never go back and I know a lot of people. I work in a hotel and always recommended guests to get their nails done there. NO MORE. read more

Henry is soo good at Pedicures. He massages good and takes his time to make it look and feel great

I know some people have not had a good experience with 90's, but I have never had a problem. I have been going there for 4+ years on and off, through a couple of different owners. Sometimes the wait is long, even with an appointment. But they are also a pretty busy place, with quite a few nail techs. I've had many pedicures, acrylic, and shellac manicures. I will continue to go back as long as the service is good! read more

Was disappointed in the service, and attitude. Never had nails done, left after waiting. Had an appointment for two full sets of acrylics and the appointment was made for one. Walked out and went to another business in town who got us in immediately. I won't return. read more

Would not be back! We made an appt for a fill and 2 mani/pedis. Horrible customer service. "T" seemed annoyed the entire time and when I asked if he would rather not do my nails he grunted. It wasn't busy at all and I felt that we were just in the way. They don't deserve the high ratings. Go somewhere else. read more

I went in to have Shelek nails done, and was so impressed! The faciliity was clean, things were pre-packaged so I knew they had been sanitized...and my nail tech "tony" did such an awesome job on my nails. The tips I had him paint on looked just like acrylic nails. I am headed back today for another set. The price is great $20-$25 depending what you get. The downfall. No one speaks to you, clearly because of the language barrier. But they have a flat screen :) read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. The new owners are only concerned with making money. Pam Brian and the rest of the staff who have made the place what it is are all gone now. The new owner or manager not sure what he was, was rude to the receptionist who has been with the shop for the last few years and he treated her like she knew nothing about working as a receptionist or at a nail salon. It was very uncomfortable being there after the new owners took over. I'll wait and find where Pam has gone before getting my nails done again... read more

Highly recommended! I've been going to 90's nails and Spa for 2 years now . It's a clean, safe environment to have your nails done. Friendly and professional staff. They listen carefully to what what you want done, and work hard to please. Enjoy!! read more

Good experience, but they trick you. Knowing it was my Fiance's first pedicure she didn't explain the prices to him and assumed he wanted a $30+ pedicure. I will never go there again! read more
