Both technicians took their time on our nails and were responsive to our requests; our nails turned out great! The salon was clean, well-kept, and well-staffed despite being pretty full (probably at least 20 clients at a time getting their nails done!). We had such great experiences with our mani/pedis that we both decided to get waxing done too. The prices were resonable, and we saved a few dollars by paying in cash. Would recommend this salon to anyone in the Dorchester area!

Back story: Lida and Navy have been running the nail shop here for years. I started going to them…read moreback in 2017, I have no idea why I never made a review for them before but better late than never! I've seen these hard working girls go through the effects of the pandemic while raising two beautiful children and running a nail shop at the same time. Up until 2017, I "nail-shop-hopped" around the south shore area - never finding a place i liked enough to come back to. Then I found sydney nails. I will never go to another nail shop until they shut down (which i hope never happens because i will be devastated.) Honestly, the service and quality here is unbeatable. The girls are genuine, friendly, and love their jobs (and take pride in it.) The shop is clean and promotes a relaxing environment. I see these reviews on the internet about their store not providing good service. I don't understand why some people are so nasty. If you go and get your nails done here and don't like it, don't leave the store. They can't control what happens when you leave the store. But if you don't like your nails or need it fixed before walking out, tell them. They 100% of the time will make it right if it is an instant fix. If you walk out of the store angry or upset and don't like what you were given, that's on you. Also, you chose the color - not them. Lida and Navy try their best to make it right so please be kind. Tips: 1) always call ahead so the girls can pencil you into their schedule. Walk ins are available but there is usually some kind of wait. 2) show up to your appointment 10-15 min early to pick your colors 3) they take cash and card but the card machine has a transaction fee on your card. They also take venmo.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience…read more I paid $60 for a gel pedicure plus an additional $15 for chrome, expecting a smooth, mirror-like chrome finish. Unfortunately, the final result looked uneven, patchy, and bumpy instead of the polished chrome effect I paid extra for. During my pedicure, the technician accidentally cut several of my toes, causing them to bleed. Although antiseptic was applied, no one apologized or even asked if I was okay. The next day, I noticed that the chrome on my left foot had turned dull and matte, while my right foot still had a mirror finish. The surface was also tacky and collected lint from my socks, which should never happen with a properly cured gel pedicure. I returned the following day to have it corrected. The initial solution was simply to buff the surface and apply more chrome powder, which would have made one foot thicker and a different shade than the other. After I explained my concern, another staff member understood and recommended removing and redoing all five toes on my left foot. Although I appreciated that they redid my left foot, the finished result is still uneven and far from the smooth chrome finish I expected. The photos speak for themselves. Mistakes can happen, but when customers pay extra for a specialty service like chrome, they should receive the quality that comes with it. Between the bleeding, the lack of apology, the failed chrome application, and the disappointing redo, this experience did not meet my expectations. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

They're very thorough with the pedicures, although my nails were cut down a little too much and sometimes it's a little painful to stand or when my toes come in contact with my socks even days later. For the gel manicure, they soaked the nails which was nice (I hate when places use the drill to take it off as it can be painful for me). Overall, seemed like a nice place. I go to Jessica's across the street, but they were closed at this particular time. Definitely wouldn't return for a pedicure. Would return for a manicure if Jessica's is closed again.
