    I really wanted to give this place another chance, but unfortunately I was disappointed again. I've been getting dip French tip manicures consistently for the past two years. I travel often, so I'm used to trying new salons and nail techs, and I know what to expect in terms of quality and durability. The first time I came here, one of my nails broke within two days and the edges of all nails began lifting shortly after. Within a week, my thumb nail had broken as well. There was also leftover dip powder visible on the nail, which made the manicure look unfinished. For comparison, my dip manicures from other salons typically last a full four weeks without breaking or lifting. I decided to give the salon another try with a different tech, but I was disappointed in different ways. The French tip lines were uneven and not very clean. And she also chose to file off 90% of the previous dip after barely soaking, causing pain to each nail. During the appointment, the technician appeared irritated and was tugging my hand around, suggesting the unevenness was due to me not relaxing, rather than the application itself. It felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. If the service were priced at $20 or $30, I might be more understanding. However, at $80, I expect both durability and clean technique. Unfortunately, I did not receive either. The gel pedicure I received the first time has still held up though. I just would not recommend getting dip.

    Clean, thorough pedicure, but my gel manicure started bubbling and lifting within two days. Disappointing, especially given how expensive it was.

    I needed to get my nails done for an event and my regular salon had no appointments available so I came here! I had a great experience - the salon is so zen! The seats are extra comfy, it's bright, and they play chill music. Cindy did my nails - gel pedicure, Gel X set removal, and "installation" of a new Gel X set. It is pricier than other nail salons - I paid $160 plus tip but I'd still recommend it, esp for mani/ pedi dates with family & friends.

    Although the nails i got were nice they were not worth the $190 i spent. i notice my nail was dented when i got into my car as well which is unfortunate. the girl my sister got was very nice and helpful; the lady doing my nails was not very friendly and not very helpful. she hurt my hand several times throughout the service (i've never felt pain while getting my nails done before) also skipped my hand massage which is my favorite part not the experience i was expecting with all of the good reviews left behind, unfortunately will not be going here again, i will stick with La Boutique!

    I just moved to Providence and I am thrilled yo have found Aurora nails. The space itself is immaculate and the attention to detail when she did my nails was incredible. Will absolutely be my new go-to, and I look forward to coming back soon for a pedicure as well!

    Aurora Nails is the best nail salon I have been to in a long time! The inside is clean, relaxing, and relatively quiet for a very chill calming atmosphere. I called a day or two ahead, and was able to get an appointment time after work. It was busy inside, but not too crowded and no one looked like they were waiting. Off the bat, Cindy, did an excellent job filing and dissolving the SNS powder that was already on my nails before she started applying more. I've been to other salons where they just try to crack the SNS off or slide the entire nail off with a Metro card, but not here-- they take their time to do it the right way. The work spaces were clean, fresh towels were put down between removing the old powder and applying more, and all of the tools she used came out of a sanitized plastic pouch before she began working on my nails. Cindy also did a great job filing my nails to the almond shape I asked for, and applied the dip powder with expert precision-- 3 "dips" with a little less powder near my cuticles. She filed the edges of my nails down to the perfect smooth texture, and used two layers of a clear top coat to finish them off. To top it all off, while the powder set, she massaged my back and hands with a relaxing warm towel. All of the lotion and cuticle oils she applied felt buttery and had fresh scents, creating a very pleasant experience. All in all, I was there for a about an hour for the entire experience. $65 was well worth it for such professionalism and attention to detail.

They always greet you with a smile, make great conversation, and genuinely care about their clients. You never feel rushed and they always make you feel comfortable and welcome.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. When we arrived, we were told Leah had overbooked and Billy would be taking us instead. I offered to wait for Leah, but my concerns were disregarded. The entire service felt rushed. Her toenails were poorly shaped, and the Dazzle Dry polish was thick, chunky, uneven, and left on her cuticles. When I asked for it to be cleaned up, I was told "after." For her manicure, she was left sitting in the pedicure chair. It was extremely uncomfortable for her, and the manicure was just as rushed, with poor shaping and uneven polish. We were then hurried to the drying station, where one of her nails was smudged. Rather than redoing it, another employee tried to smooth it out with her fingertip. When I asked if it could simply be redone, I was told, "That will take longer." At checkout, they also refused to honor the 15% senior discount currently advertised on their website and charged me $5 more than the prices listed online. I had hoped to find a salon where I could bring my mom and have her feel genuinely pampered and cared for. Sadly, this was not it. Several of the negative reviews described experiences very similar to ours, and I now wish I had paid closer attention to them. I hope the owner does the same.

My eyebrows haven't looked this good in years! Everyone else in the salon was so friendly and welcoming as well. It really was a comfortable place. I had gotten my dip powder for awhile from another place, but it's a bit unaffordable now. The other place I was going got to be a bit uncomfortable as well with certain things happening every time I went in. So I found Aidiles while searching for somewhere new, and I'm really happy I did. She took my dip powder off and I could see my nails again! I've had it taken off before, and they had left my nail with a bunch of it still on just without the color, so it was nice to go somewhere where they care enough to actually take the dip powder off correctly. I told her the color I wanted and she quickly showed me the pink, which had a great name that is escaping me. It was just the color I was looking for. She waxed my eyebrows and my underarms. I've always had pain after getting my underarms waxed for at least up to 24 hours after I get it done. I had none after the initial ripping pain lol. The environment is nice, the people are great, and the service is fantastic! It's worth it to go in if you haven't, and it's worth it to return if you have been here before.

This place, perhaps due to lack of competition, is pricey. This has prevented me from coming regularly. That said, if you've never had a Thai massage before and are curious about what makes it different--while not planning to visit Thailand soon, or any other state where there are more spas offering this service--then do visit Thai Tranquility Bodywork. It's worth being familiar with Thai massage, and this place does a good job.
