I love this place. Vanessa is the best. I travel pretty far just to come here to do a manicure. Yes, I'm a guy, who likes manicures. Prices are great, the place is clean and well maintained. read more

The staff ruined my nails by improperly scraping off a gel manicure. They barely left the acetone on at all and then scraped harshly, leaving my previously perfectly strong/healthy nails in a brittle, thin, flaky mess. I had never had a gel manicure removed before, so I was wary and unsure of how the process was supposed to go, but I could immediately tell this was wrong. When I questioned the technique and pointed out that the nail tech was damaging my nails, the other staff woman who was advising me got an attitude. She also had the nerve to suggest I get another gel manicure to cover and strengthen my now-damaged nails. No, thank you. I immediately went to another salon and recounted my experience, and they confirmed that they removed it incorrectly and too forcefully. I can only hope and pray that my nails grow back to their normal strength and health, but for now, they flake and chip at the slightest touch. read more

I absolutely adore this salon! Besides the extremely friendly service and the overall spotless environment, I left smiling with the most beautiful and vibrant dip powder nails and perfectly painted toes. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

Best salon I have been to in a very long time. Sophia provided an excellent manicure and pedicure. She was fast, professional, and my nails are awesome. read more

Mani was ok, please stop haranguing customers about gel This place is clean and pleasant. A little understaffed and disorganized when I visited. The biggest problem is a trend I notice in all nail salons now: they really don't want to give a regular, old-fashioned manicure. My tech tried 3 times to get me to switch to gel. Very irritating. Seriously, I don't go to the nail salon expecting to sit through a high-pressure sales pitch! read more

Next time you have a private party please do public a favor and put a SIGN up or lock the doors. Poor customer service to your new potential customers to rudely REJECT them at the door after getting stared at by 12 girls who think I'm trying to crash their Bachelorette party. Just an innocent customer looking to get her nails done, thought it was a busy night high hopes to find a nail salon open on Friday night- but instead I felt like Julia Roberts in pretty woman on Rodeo Dr. How is anyone supposed to know??????? Carry on girls... To the chick who said this: " she thinks were open awwwww??? " - thanks sweetie keep enjoying your $7 champagne, you'll pay for the hangover tomorrow. I'll make sure to go to a classier salon next time!! read more

I'll start the bad review I was already going write by saying that I really almost think the woman who gave me my pedicure dislocated my pinky toe or something. It's been weeks and I'm still in pain. My manicure didn't even last 24 hours. She went SO slow doing it and didn't get anywhere close to the cuticles on any side and I thought maybe it was her method so it would last longer and not peel? Wrong! Ok, now my big complaint. I got a GC here and attempted to use it 3 times! This place is nowhere near my house and I explained to them that I am never in the area. The first 2 times, they took a wedding party and reserved the entire place! Ok, if you're gonna do that, you should either close down for them or do it after hours. The second time I tried to use it, I was leaving for vacation the next day and I had to go pay cash someplace else. They refused to even let me wait and take me after, saying that they had young kids and couldn't stay late. They kept asking if I could come back the next day. What don't you get about the fact that I keep saying I live 45 minutes away anyways and my flight is at like 5am? The thing that kills me about the whole above scenario was that my cousin got married and tried to book this place for the day before her wedding weeks ahead of time and do you know what they told her? They said, "we don't do that. We have regular customers that could come in. You'll have to take your chances." And we did. Most of us couldn't get things we wanted because they didn't have the time, and they kept taking regulars without appointments before us! I'm sorry, is this a clique??? read more

Clean, friendly, the staff makes sure you're satisfied. Jackie is running a great business. You will be very satisfied. Although they take walk-ins, it does get busy - it wouldn't hurt to give a quick call to see when is best to show up - long hours. read more

They do a great gel mani and pedi here! I come usually with my grandmother and they always treat her (and me) so nice I love to see it. 10/10 they are great here!! read more

So disappointing that one of the best places in Saugus has became the worst. Please stay away from visiting this place as whoever service you they do not know what they are doing. Very sad as it has been my spot to go for last 12 years. Not anymore. read more

I got a mani/pedi gel nails. I used "gelish" I personally dont like OPI because the colors arent true plus they peel off faster. My mani lasted for 2 weeksish. Service was good. Even though there were a couple clients waiting (some appts) they didn't rush to finish my service which is good. Ample parking, relaxing environment. WAY BETTER than attractive nails down the street. Will come back. read more

I have been here several times now. They always do a good job on my nails. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the service. No one is particularly friendly and when they were trying to upsell me to try the gel manicure they woman didn't speak enough English to answer my questions about what exactly the gel was. Decent prices, its about $35 for a manicure and pedicure. read more

It's an ok place. The only good thing for me is that it is walking distance from my house. They do not have the gel colors displayed on fake nails like every other place I've been, so unless you know the color you don't know what you're getting. From what I have learned they do not care too much for walk-ins. And as far as quality goes, the inside of nails never get painted and that is a pet peeve of mine. Get the whole nail, not just the top. And not once have they ever checked on me after sending me to dry my hands under the light. I've found a place I absolutely love and now only come here if I'm in a jam. read more

I went here to get my eye brows done. I told the lady right before hand that I have sensitive skin and if there is anything she can so I do to not brake out afterwards. She looked confused and said, "okay." She did not use lotion before or after or do anything to make it less painful. If anything it seemed like she was in a hurry. I now have two huge rashes above my eyebrows. I have had my nails done here before and that was all fine and dandy, but I am never getting my eye brows done here again. Thank God for bangs... read more

I stated going to Allure from a recommendation by a close friend. It's so hard to find shops with skilled technicians that know how to work with acrylic. Most today are all about gels and the new powder dip. I found the place to be immaculate and the owner, Vanessa, extremely accommodating. I explained to her that I have zero patience for shops that rush people who take the time and make appointments due to walk-ins. She assured me they do not engage in that and will ask a walk-in to come back if someone's not free verses rushing their current customer. It's been 4 months and so far this has been honored. Vanessa's freehand artwork is amazing. Please see the picture of the Pat's symbol she drew for the Superbowl for me. You pick a picture from her phone and she can duplicate it to the letter. Her attention to detail with shaping the nails is fantastic, and her new husband, Jack who also works there, likes to pride himself as being responsible for her talent. I've seen his work too and he's equally talented. Their spa pedicures are relaxing and you get a wonderful leg and foot message. I absolutely love this shop and I've tried many in the Melrose, Wakefield, Saugus, and Lynn area. None came close to Vanessa's consistency, kindness, and reasonable pricing. read more

Allure Nails & Spa - Vanessa's free-hand art work is simply amazing. I get tons of compliments every time. - Nail Salons Near Me - Saugus, Massachusetts

I popped in for a pedi, as I wasn't feeling well and needed a pick me up. The girl who did my piggies was sweet and took her time. There were people waiting, but she did not rush. When I say thorough, it is an understatement. The scrub was about 5 minutes each leg. Straight. That doesn't even include the massage. At that point, the paint job could have been awful, and I still would have been happy. But it was lovely. So pretty. And she fixed and ingrown as well. With no pain. Highly recommend this salon. :) read more

The nails are done quickly, and they are not intricate or careful about the look of the nail. I've definitely have had better looking nail filing and application from other salons read more

I tried this salon for the first time a few days ago and I must say I was pleasantly surprised! Everything was very clean and sterile. Staff was extremely helpful and took her time and I was very happy with the finished product. A gel mani was $30, and luckily they do not charge to remove old gel. I will be back for sure!! read more

Under new ownership. Love it here. Fantastic space and pedicure. Vanessa is great.

I came in as a walk in and was very quiet with a packed house. Which was odd. While I waiting the manicurist told me to pick a color. I asked these are shellac polish? She said yes, all of them are. They were gel polish from opi. They weren't shellac. I got up and said I changed my mind. There's no way I'm letting someone do my nails especially if they don't know the difference between nail polishes. read more

Sophia did my shellac manicure last week and I was 100 % Satisfied! I cant wait to go back and see her! She took her time on my toes and hands and my nails are shaped perfectly and still look great! I am sending my mom tomorrow for her christmas party to see sophia! read more

I will admit right away that I do not get manicures on the regular. However, I recently got engaged and everyone kept telling me I must go for a manicure, MUST! So I go into Allure, never have been here before but it's convenient and I drive by it all the time. First, they don't have many nail polishes to chose from. They are all thrown together on what appears to be their front desk area. I wanted a cute winter blue and some silver sparkles on my ring fingers. No silver sparkle nail polish. I ask the guy who will be painting my nails and he keeps handing me different shades of gold sparkles. I keep telling him that's gold, not silver. Is this a language barrier, Im not sure? We finally settle on a multi colored sparkle but I was seriously considering just walking out the door at this point and I really should have listened to my instinct. I want to put it out there that the guy that ended up giving me this manicure was nice enough. Tried to have light conversation although I had to ask him to repeat himself a lot and most of the time he just tried to up sell me on the gel nailpolish even though I continuesly let him know that I was happy with what I chose and would not be trying the gel this time. Okay, he was nice "enough" but he really should consider a new profession. This is the worst manicure I have ever had. I am wondering if he purposly sabotaged me because I wouldn't get the gel polish! Within HOURS they were cracking and chipping off... I know this is not normal. I could have done a better job myself. Really dispapointed and will not be coming back here, ever. If you do, look out for the guy!!!! read more

This place is so dirty! The have never been washed and tubs were u put your feet are filthy Although the ladies are friendly the place need cleaning !!! The pedicure average nothing special. read more

Beautiful & clean. Jacki and her staff are polite and professional. You won't be disappointed!

These ladies are great! Very professional and clean. $40 for a pedi and French mani! I've found my replacement for overpriced miniluxe

I just got here. My first time and I already love how peaceful and relaxing it is. No yelling back and forth between techs, soothing decor, and best of all; Massage chairs! read more

I used to go here while under old ownership and my nails always come out awful. After I found out if was a new owner I figured I would give it a chance again. So I tried to call the salon today to get a price, a woman answered the phone and when I asked for the price her response was um I don't know. I was shocked to hear her say that. How can you not know the price you charge for a manicure? I couldn't help but laugh and hangup. Definitely hasn't changed a bit. read more

Have gone to Allure for many years now and always get a great mani/pedi. I love the ambiance and interaction with all the staff. I have made some good personal friends there that go on Sat. morning early.. Today I added a new service; a facial and eyebrow tint/wax with Kim - It was excellent! The products very nice, not overly scented but pleasant smelling. The treatment was in a nice relaxing room with a lavandar candle and soft music. I could have stayed there all day! The treatment was very professional, lots of relaxing massage included. My skin and brows look fabulous! A wonderful way to spend a rainy Sat. morning with a lovely lady that made me look and feel great! I will add this sevice to my perosnal beauty routine at Allure! Thanks Kim!! read more

I have been having my mani pedi here sine 2008 and have never been disappointed. Colors are up to date and Jackie is very knowledgable about nails and correct applications. The salon is very clean and the tubs are washed after each pedicure. The chairs for pedicures are brand new and very state of the art. No one should ever say this salon is unclean. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. read more

I have been going to this salon for over a year now and everyone is so nice. They do a fabulous job with pedicures and manicures. Jackie, the owner is so sweet, she always calls everyone by their first name and makes it personal. I can't believe it took me so long to find this great spa. read more

I have been going to allure for years until they changed owners, so I found another nail salon that I love called place 2 be, I found out that the owner of place 2 be bought allure so i decided since allure was closer to my house that I would just try it and see, well what a mistake. I called last week and made an appointment to see Vanessa for last night and was told i was all set. When I walked in the girl told me Vanessa was not there. So not only was I lied to on the phone but I had to see someone else, which I really didn't want. I decided to give this girl a chance. The girl who did my nails was awful, she wasn't paying attention too busy looking around and doing everything but my nails. She filed my nails down and half of the nails were shorter than the rest. My 2 thumb nails were broken on the side so she used superglue to fix it but got super glue all over my whole thumb nail and my skin. Then she decided to use acrylic on my thumb which after she superglued the hell out of my thumb she dipped it in the acrylic. Now my real nail is warped and has a huge dent in it. She then proceeded to dig under my thumb nail to try to remove the glue and ended up cutting underneath my nail. My thumb is now in so much pain. I believe this girl has never done nails in her life because she kept stumbling around trying to find things in the salon and she definitely seemed to not know what she was doing. Safe to say I will NEVER go to this place again, I'm mad I even wasted my $30. If your looking for a good salon I recommend going to place 2 be instead. Stay far away! read more

I have always been a salon hopper until I found this place. I have been going here for two years now and I always go with sofia. Not only is she professional and kind.... she does a beautiful job! If you are in need of a good manicure do yourself a favor and pay sofia a visit! read more

This nail salon is a quaint cozy spot you're gonna love. Their signature lemongrass scented hot towels always gives you a relaxed spa feeling. Their manicures are done well and the paint does not and will chip for over a week. I love that! And I only get my brows waxed there because they do a phenomenal job. Try them you might just end up sticking to them. read more

I've now been driving from Needham to Saugus for four years and am so glad I found this place. (I've tried other salons in my area but they are more expensive and the nail polish only last a few days.) I only get a pedi and it is so relaxing. The nail polish is applied so expertly that it lasts for weeks, if not months. The one thing I appreciate is that the place is clean and doesn't smell like chemicals, like most salons do. I always make an appointment because I travel so far but you can easily walk in and not have to wait too long. read more

I've gone here several times and for the most part I have had excellent service. However, today I had a new woman do my nails. She trimmed them too short, cut my finger, tried to glue my finger back together with superglue then filed down the crooked cutting to expose my nail beds. My nails are still crooked and my finger still hurts. The pain was everywhere. She was barefoot and had dirty nails. As impressed as I was before, I don't think I will return after that awful experience. read more

Jackie and her staff are wonderful. I am always pleased with their work. It does get busy. Worth it to either wait or make an appointment

I have been going to this place since it opened. They always do a good job and are professional. It is extremely clean and the staff is super friendly. I recommend making an appointment as it is usually busy. Don't just walk in and expect service ; ) read more
