Honestly a 0 out of 5 in terms of my experience today. I have UV gel extensions and called to confirm this morning that they could give me a new set. I arrived and the tech kept trying to convince me get a fill and not a new set, which is what I specifically asked for. After all the clarification previously in our conversation, she would only take my gel set off and for me to contact my "regular nail guy". $36 dollars later, she did a 5 min regular paint job, didn't file or cut my cuticles...the picture speaks for itself. read more

Wendy was fantastic. I was visiting from out of state so a new customer but she took all of my crazy picky requests and was able to squeeze me in for a fill, nail repairs and a pedicure. Very calming atmosphere at the salon and they really cater to the customers needs. All around great place. They also have a big menu of items they do including lashes and brow microblading, etc. I give high ratings here for anyone looking for a new salon!! read more

I cannot recommend this salon enough! If you're looking for somewhere to get your nails done, this is the place. I am SO impressed with Tiffany. She is so talented, and can do any design presented to her! She really takes the time to make sure as a customer, I leave happy. As an individual, I struggle with anxiety. As a result, she always seats me near the door, and leaves it open for fresh air. She really does her best to make me feel comfortable. I truly think this is THE salon to go to. It is very clean, they have plenty of variety when it comes to colors, and fantastic customer service. I love my nails each time. read more

Owner gave refund after bad experience, didn't say much but wanted the review taken down. Instead of actually in person apologizing or trying to keep a customer it seems as if I can now put my money to use. At least the owner did good by refunding. read more

This salon is my favorite in CT for nail care. If you get your nails done regularly, you know how tough it is to find someplace truly satisfactory, and I am happy to say that I will be a forever customer at Absolutely Nail & Spa. I called to make an appointment my first time and the woman on the phone was super sweet, asked if I was a new customer, and made sure I knew where they were located (in the corner of the plaza between K-Mart and Salvation Army). The salon is very clean and my nail tech was actually mopping the floor while waiting for me to show up. The space is minimally decorated, but that's neither here nor there. The tech stations are clean and I really appreciate the care that my tech took with my nails. She was careful and very meticulous, and made sure I received exactly what I had in mind. They seem to offer a wide variety of manicure options- acrylic, gel, dipping powder, ombré, glitter, gems, etc! Here's the kicker- when you sit down for a nail treatment, they treat you to a complimentary glass of wine or champagne! SO RELAXING!!! I loved every moment of it. I have been to other nail spas that do shoulder massages while you get your nails done-- they did not do that here but the wine totally made up for it! My tech also massaged my hands at the end of my manicure which was very nice. I did not notice a price list anywhere (in the store nor online) but I paid just under $30 for an acrylic fill and gel polish. Bottom line: if you're looking to get your nails done and Absolutely came up in your search list-- definitely go here!! read more

Let me preface this review by saying I am EXTREMELY picky about my nails. I usually leave the salon and drive myself crazy analyzing every asymmetrical nail and the bumps and grooves in the gel (super type A of me .. can't help myself ) They got me in right away for a walk-in full set of gel nails and they are PHENOMENAL. There were quite a few people waiting but Cindy did not rush and took special care to compare each nail after every step to make sure my hands looked the same. There is no gap between the color and my cuticle and the shape is perfect. She absolutely killed the coffin shape (punny). A full gel set is $45 but they charged me $5 for the coffin shape (??) but they are so amazing I don't even care. Words of advice: make an appointment because wait times were longer than expected for the people I saw come in. read more

Went twice. The owner made my technician leave me to go do a pedicure. She finished my polish. The polish did not last. I felt it very rude of the owner to order my technician away from me. That turned me off. Won't be going back because of the owner or boss whoever she is. I'm read more

Just got my nails done for the first time since the pandemic began in March. Luna did my nails and they are perfect. I got a full gel set.

Highly recommended. Wendy is very knowledgeable and caring, which can be a rare find in the eyelash industry. She uses only the best products for your eyes/skin and applies eyelash extensions using a method where your real lashes are still able to grow naturally. Not all lash techs care about the health if you're lashes, but Wendy certainly does. read more

I was in from out of town and found this place on yelp so it seemed okay. I have never once gone back and complained but the job on my nails was awful. My mom and sister weren't bad, but the girl had no issue with me walking out with my nails looking like this. They did give me a refund for my nails but I will not go back nor will my sister who lives here. Be careful who does them because some are more experienced then others. read more

I paid for a $50 gel polish pedicure which then began to peel off of my toes approximately 3-4 hours later after running a few errands (Target, grocery store, etc). I then returned two days later for a manicure appointment (for my engagement photo shoot) and showed the owner that my toe polish I had chipped. I was told this happened because the OPI polish is old and "sometimes that happens". I was then told that she didn't have time to fix it because her schedule was too full. The pedicure was fixed after I insisted because I had photos being taken in a matter of hours and literally had no other options AND asked that she just fix the nails that were peeling off. At one point when she couldn't figure out which color to use to match I had asked if I could go find one she yelled at me, "No! Sit down!" when I tried to stand up. My gel ( I think? Honestly I don't even know if she used what I asked for?) manicure was rushed, and I asked if a nail that I had broken doing a project could be fixed. Once again, I returned home and within a couple of hours said nail cracked and broke again. All in all, I understand a bad day or being overworked and overwhelmed. However, I'd rather sit and wait an hour instead of having subpar work done and having to spend twice the amount to go somewhere else to have it fixed. read more

I absolutely hate finding new nail salons because it's either a great or a horrible experience. This salon was such a relief! I got my toes done and Tina did my nails with dipping powder which came out perfectly. On top of that, I made an appt and they stuck to it! I'm happy to go back and have this be my main nail stop for now. Only downfall was I didn't get any neck massage with my nails and I wish the dipping powder was more of a manicure first. My main issue with places is they hype you up with all of the care but the actual nail job isn't well done. I'll pay to keep my natural nails looking great over anything else. read more

Best acrylics I have ever gotten EVER!! I have been to a lot of different nail salons but this one is by far the best I've ever been to! They took their time and they came out looking so natural. They used the acrylic sparingly which is usually never the case when I have gone to other places :) I'll definitely be returning for a fill! read more

I went to Absolutely Nail & Spa for the first time today. I was greeted quickly and was offered a complimentary glass of wine. I was sitting with Tina, who did an INCREDIBLE job on my nails.

It took a little bit of brain power to find this place because my gps took me a weird way but I finally found it and I was not disappointed! I asked for a manicure with gel polish and gel acrylic but with no tips because I liked the length of my nails. I ended up having to explain this but they finally got it. I noticed he was going very slow but the end result was very nice! I ended up paying around 45 dollars for everything. They informed me that next time I came in for a fill it would not be that much and I said ok thank you! Here's a picture of my nails... read more

From the moment I entered the new business, I knew I was in for a treat. Staff is attentive and professional. Tina, the owner, is proud of what her business has to offer and has trained her staff well. I have gone to Cindy twice for a fill and pedi and she is great. With pedicures, they are very sanitary in providing each customer with a disposable liner in the pedicure tub. This is a great place to pamper yourself. read more

Best customer service I've ever had at a salon. I saw Wendy , the owner , after breaking a nail. She fixed the nail and even touched up the others at no extra charge. I love it here and will continue to drive 30 minutes to have my nails done here read more

I had a great experience at Absolutely Nail & Spa. I called an hour before I went and made an appointment. When I arrived there were no other customers there and they took me right away. I had a pedicure and it was great. The tech gave a great foot massage and opened up a fresh bottle of white polish to make sure the color was exactly what I wanted. They offered me a drink- wine or a mimosa- although I didn't indulge. Super friendly staff, super clean and easy to get to from my house. I can't wait to go back! read more

As far as I am concerned this "spa" needs to closed along with Kmart.... This has been the worst experience I have ever had at a nail salon. I really wanted to write a review sooner but I could not with my acrylics but 2 weeks later I can easily write one. Guess why? Because all of my acrylics damn near popped off. You know your nails are bad when your co-workers asked if you did your nails yourself (rolls eyes). I came to this nail shop because of the 5 star reviews and that is why I will never go by reviews again. Ok? Ok. I wanted an ombre acrylic set. And I received a kindergarten ombre set. The owner should have just said that she didn't know what ombre was. An amateur proceeded to attempt to do my full set for an hour and half. When I washed my hands I saw the horror. The owner said she would take off 15% because they were experimenting with a new vegan powder. LIES! Because if I was a white women she would have given it to me for free. Just saying...but she did give me 25% off. The main reason why I came to salon was to get a pedicure. The pedicure was going fine, I guess, until I left this place and went home and saw that my nail polish was coming off. This is enough and I am tired and I never ever want to see or step foot in this place again. Just DON'T DO IT! FIND A REVIEW THAT IS ONE STAR AND I'M SURE THEY WILL DO A BETTER JOB. The end. read more

Got an eyelash extension because I had a groupon.. as soon as I'm checking out they let me know they don't accept them anymore.. it didn't expire or anything . they didn't care and was like "card please" like... I had to call my husband to get his card because I didn't expect this... I was so mad because I was they didn't look like 142 dollar lashes. 50 maybe.. I'm a cosmetologist.. I've taken classes on it so I know... what they gave me was a natural lash and that should've been only 70.. And I contacted Groupon and said even thou they took it off they still have to honor it because it's bought and paid for and it's not expired... never going here again they totaled gauged me. read more

I've always come to this location to get my eyebrows waxed because they do such a great job and the last year I've been so impressed with how beautiful the salon looks!

I highly recommend this nail salon & spa. read more

I wanted to get lash extensions for the first time so searched reviews and chose Absolutely. Wen is absolutely amazing. I get compliments daily on how wonderful my lashes look and have recommended several people to come here. I also have started getting my nails done here too. I have done the dip at other places however here they last longer and Wen did an ombré that I found on Pinterest perfectly. I highly recommend this place. Very clean and sanitary. read more

Well, wow. What the reviews say here already are true! One of the best manicures I've had since I moved here to CT 2.5 years ago (I've been pretty frustrated trying to find That Right Place). Pedicure was also nice but nothing outstanding. I tried the "dipping power" (had never done so) and was so impressed with the time and care they took. Salon was also clean and uncluttered. I was a little worried when I pulled up since it is shoved back in a corner between a tired looking Kmart and a Salvation Army store. Will definitely be back! (and I hesitated to write this review ... because it might bring more customers to the store... and then it will be harder to get in quickly!) ha. read more

Decided to try a new nail salon after not being happy with my last one. Absolutely Nail and Spa was nice and clean. Made an appointment and they took me at the time of my appointment.

I took to Yelp in search of a quality salon, and it did not disappoint. They had lots of great colors to choose from - about 10 different shades of neutral pinks and beiges, which is my go to. Jessica really took her time and made sure that each nail looked perfect. Finished product is fantastic. read more
