Beauty Nails and Spa - Thank you to Vivian! I love my new look for my nails. This is called Cat Eye. - Nail Salons Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

I was excited to try a new place. At first it appeared to be very clean. It even had a fresh liner in the foot bath, and the tools were sanitized and sealed. Unfortunately, the woman giving me my pedicure, did not have high standards of cleanliness. She pulled a very dirty used unwrapped nail brush out of her drawer and started to wash my feet with it despite the fact that I had just showered before I came. The brush was grimy with a lot of dirt in the worn bristles from prior feet. She then took an unwrapped tool from the same drawer, put it on a drill and started to use it on the bottom soles of my feet pretty much tearing the skin up and leaving them rough and sore,. when she grabbed a pair of used clippers out of the drawer instead of using the ones that were in the the packaging I decided it was definitely time to leave. The woman in charge came over to ask me what was wrong and I tried to explain it to her carefully, but she seemed to have a language issue understanding. Even though I didn't have the pedicure completed, no polish filling etc. they still charged me $40 which I paid to get out of there. I'm guessing the nail technician was new because she was not wearing a name tag. I definitely do not recommend this establishment. read more

Thank you so much Vivian!!! I called the salon in the evening wanting to redo the fill I got somewhere else a week ago. I was really unhappy how my nails had come out from a previous salon in LA. Vivian accepted me and gave me a last minute appointment for same day. When I arrived we realized it was best to remove the current acrylic powder I had because it was truly bad. Vivian took her time to remove my old acrylic powder and do a new set of gelX. My nails came out AMAZING!!! Even though it was past the closing the time and Vivian was still working on my nails, she never once fussed about it or tried to rush my experience. I am truly so so so happy with my nails and how they came out. Thank you Vivian and Ann for the amazing customer service! I will most definitely be returning for any future needs. read more

I've been going to beauty nails for a few months now and they always do an amazing job! I got dip with gel on top and they came out even neater than the reference picture I brought in from the internet and were exactly what I wanted. read more

This used to be one of my go to salons but lately I keep giving them a chance and get let down. This time was the last time. This is probably the worst pedicure i've ever gotten. The big toe was cut to an uncomfortably short level and each nail after was then cut down to a sliver and cut the tops of the nail on the toe. She then kept going over it with a file but it was so short that it was just going directly to the skin. I had to ask her to stop and shrieked when she poured alcohol on the open cut. Each toe is misshaped and looks like pieces for a jigsaw puzzle. BEYOND upset, hurt, and disappointed read more

I got a set done here, my second time going. The staff is very nice and welcoming. The manager Vivian did mine and they came out exactly how I pictured, she recommended colors/shapes to add to complete the design. I am so happy with them and think I found my new spot! read more

Best nail salon around. I travel from Wilmington every other week to get my nails done here. They come out perfect every time! Vivian and Ann are amazing at their jobs and the owner is so sweet. Just recently got my eyelashes done, they were cheaper than other places and came out fantastic. I recommend this place to everyone. Worth the extra couple dollars! read more

I almost never go to the salon because I've been painting my own nails for as long as I can remember. I wanted to try something new and treat myself so I tried out dip. All my nails had a lot more length and they were filed down so low and uneven. I went in because my nails had such a nice length. My wide thumbs look even wider and stranger because it wasn't even filed even. Under my nails were filed with a tool and the tool was a little rough and made under my nail sting. I had to ask a few times if she could file the nails more even and less sharp. If they were even to begin with I would probably have longer nicer looking shaped nails. My nails had 100% potential of looking like beautiful long acrylics but when it came down to the shape and how much length was taken away it made me really upset that I spent $50. Maybe I'm just really picky but I wasn't satisfied compared to what I can do myself. The staff there is very nice and friendly though and I appreciated the help I got when it came to picking a color. Everyone has different expectations and maybe you like the way my nails came out. You be the judge! I'm just sharing my experience read more

I have been looking for a new nail place for a while because the one I usually go to is sub par. After reading reviews of this salon I just had to go and they did not disappoint. My mom got a French gel manicure and my sister and I both got acrylics. The women were so nice and very attentive to our nails and our satisfaction. They will check with you every step of the way if you like it so far and they're very friendly. My sister had one technician who has bangs (i wish i caught her name) that was absolutely amazing. She spent so much time making sure every nail was perfect and even and matched each other and looked natural. The salon is also very nice and clean and the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be making this my new nail place! read more

Beauty Nails and Spa - French acrylics :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

This has become my go to nail salon. I usually bounce around or go months with naked nails. But recently I have been loving how my nails come out when I come here. I believe I have had the owner a couple times who is nice and does impeccable nails. The last two times I've had a sweet young girl who sits in the back and have been very happy. read more

This salon is absolutely amazing! I've been looking for a good salon for a number of years, and this will be my new go to. Technicians are extremely nice, the place is very clean, and my pedicure looks amazing! read more

Love this place! Most importantly for me is that they're very clean. The ladies are always so friendly and accommodating. I always ask for Carol (she's fantastic and a sweetheart), but they all seem to do a great job so I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them. Prices are reasonable. read more

Been here a few times and have walked away happy. The nail polish selection isn't the best but I always find a color, this time I brought my own. In the past I had an appointment and there was no wait, today (I'm actually sitting in the chair now) I just walked in and they took me right away. The ladies are friendly and there's a tv. I'm not sure they have a magazine selection so being a book or your phone! Everything looks clean and they take their time. Ill def be back! read more

Very nice shop. My daughter and I decided to get pedicures and walked in. They told us to pick a color and took is right away. The woman doing mine was very nice and some very little English. The lady who was working on my daughter spoke no English so she would hit her leg whenever she wanted her to move it! She thought it was awful but I found it funny!' All in all I would definitely come back! read more

Beauty Nails and Spa - Greetings from 1 of 5 comfy pedi spa chairs - get in here it's your turn! :-) - Nail Salons Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

I was a little skeptical at first because of some of the other reviews BUT I was pleasantly surprised. At first I went in for a gel manicure but Kim convinced me to get the dip gel and she did an AMAZING job. She really took her time and made sure that everything was perfect. I LOVED the color selection ...my old salon didn't have much of a selection so the color selection alone is what caught my attention at this place! The staff was so great and friendly! I'll definitely be back and definitely be hitting up my girl Kim to do my nails !! read more

Best mani pedi I've had in Reading since moving back! I got a gel mani three weeks ago and it's still in great shape, even after two weeks vacation. Everyone was super sweet. Will be back! read more

I had a dip manicure done at this salon and a mere 48 hours later 3 of my nails were chipped, significantly!!! I am a dip addict so I have my nails done every 3 weeks and have never experienced anything like this. This isn't my usual salon as I don't live in the area, I was just visiting family. When I called the salon to explain the situation, they were extremely unhelpful. Since I could not return to their salon they would not issue me any refund, even when I asked if I could text them pictures, they said no. I understand it's tough to credit a customer solely on photographs, however, I felt it was extremely poor customer service and the chips were very bad. Dip manicures are expensive and I needed to go to my salon 2 days later to get (and pay for) another dip manicure and was extremely frustrated. Would not recommend this salon! read more

This place has become my go to! Everyone is so nice and so talented. They're great at acrylic nails and everything here is so clean! Would definitely recommend! :) read more

Pretty disappointed. I came in to have my gels removed and a regular manicure. My manicure didn't last two days and when I took the polish off I noticed that the manicurist didn't remove all of the gel. I expected more for the price. read more

I've been coming to this salon for about 3 months now for manicures and pedicures and they are always excellent! I've tried 4 different technicians and they always do a great job and the service is spectacular! I stopped in today because since getting my nails done last week one nail had started to break on the side and I wanted to get it patched up with some acrylic. I was in the seat and getting service right away and they didn't even charge me! I highly recommend this place! read more

THE BEST! Every time I come home from DC I come here with my dad (who joins me for a pedicure) and I leave with a smile on my face and perfectly manicured hands and feet. We love Sue! read more

Susan is very personable and detail oriented. Very accommodating place and reasonably priced :) I can't wait to go back!

Was not a fan of this place at all! Stopped in on a whim because I didn't have time to drive to my regular place and I was across the street having my car cleaned and had some time to kill. The woman who did my nails was borderline rude, she literally didn't say ONE word to me the whole time. I don't expect to be entertained but at least have decent customer service and say hello and introduce yourself or ask my name. Furthermore, my nails were filed all crooked and I had to ask her to fix them - then they were a mess 2 days later - didn't even look like I Had them done. Won't be back here... read more

Love this place! I have been coming here for well over a year & would never go anywhere else. The staff is friendly & the wait time (I typically stop in on a Sunday afternoon) is minimal. They are courteous & professional. I regularly get their standard manicure/pedicure & have never been disappointed. Fantastic salon & highly recommended! read more

Today 3 stars. Before 5 stars. Not sure what is going on or if my technician was new. I had an appointment but it seemed like they overworked themselves by taking walk- ins with not enough staff to do the appointments scheduled.. I go here all the time and never had a problem until today. Today was a train wreck. Technician doing my mani cut my nails too short and I said I didn't want them short, just trimmed. A different person did my feet. Water basin had ice cold water for my feet. I told her and she made it warm.. not hot. Don't get me wrong she took her time and gave me a good pedicure but burned the sole of my foot on a hot stone!!! Didn't quite seem to have their act together when I paid. I was charged for a gel manicure when I got a regular one ( a difference of $15) she proceeded to void the sale and ring in a new one. Told me it may take 7 to 10 business days to rectify in my account!!! Every time I find a good place it turns sour. Not sure ill come back again. Disappointed. read more

Made an appointment here since the place I love in Stoneham was booked and I didn't have any other free time. When I got here, beauty nails and spa, I realized that I've been here before and hated it. They previously did a pedicure on me and cut one of my toes so bad that it wouldn't stop bleeding. They didn't even say sorry and hurt me more by putting too much pressure on my toes, trying to make the bleeding stop. But, I made an appointment and decided to try them again. Stupid me. They made me wait 30 minutes. I almost walked out. Why even take appointments if you don't stick by them? I told them I wanted a French manicure will a gell fill. Even asked them on the phone, when I made the appointment. The lady, Susan, pulls out acrylic powder and I said I didn't want acrylic. She said she puts gell on top. I could tell she lied to me just so she can get the business. I told her again I wanted a gell fill, not just a gell nail polish paint. She tried to convince me that it was gell but I knew otherwise. I let her do her thing, even though I'm completely annoyed. The only positive thing is that my nails looked good after she finished but that's about it. It's less than a week now and the French tips are already chipping off. Plus she told me it was $25 but charged me $35. Awful. Don't like how they lied to me, don't like the deceptive business practice, don't like to be hustled, and I don't like the quality of their work. There's plenty of better nail places to try out. This isn't one of them. read more

Wonderful people even though it's under new ownership. Clean, bright and accommodating. I came in once for a manicure 5 minutes before they closed and they still took me. Definitely my go-to for nails. read more

Waxing: easy to get to in Reading and was able to get an eyebrow wax appointment on the same day without issue. The person who did my wax was a bit distracted and wasn't able to follow the directions I gave as far as shaping, and I came away with burns from super hot wax. Probably not the best place to get wax done. Seems to be great for nails. read more

My favorite nail salon in the area. Everyone there is friendly and does such a great job. They are very welcoming and I have never had to wait long for an appointment, even if I just walk in. The place is super clean, and they have so many colors and dips to choose from. Love getting pedicures here too, they are not expensive and they use hot stones! Kim does such a great job, I am so happy with my nails every time I leave! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place with great people. read more

I have been here several times for a wax. One woman was quick and seemed to really tug at hairs. But I've gone to Vivian several times. This time she drew blood and left me with five cuts under my chin. Never again. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! Vivian is the ultimate best. Been going to her or John for months now and I feel right at home! My acrylics can last up to one month because shes so precise and takes her time with her clients. I LOVE her !!! Highly recommend her and John too ! read more

The clear coat over the manicure began to turn brown within hours of leaving the salon. I was charged more for a certain type of nail polish I selected, when they were in the same area as the other nail polishes and there was no sign, announcement, or statement of said price increase. There was no hand massage, lotion, or hot towel used during my manicure. Disappointing. read more

Clean salon, very friendly staff, Ann is the best! My shellac manicure lasts 4+ weeks.

I got a plantar wart here. It was a very good service for the money. Too good to be true, I guess. I thought the sponge she used to exfoliate my feet looked used. Apparently it was, because a wart appeared a week or two later. Plantar warts are stubborn and very painful. I've been battling this one for over two months. I've had three treatments at the dermatologist and probably need at least three more. That doesn't count the daily over the counter wart treatments that my dr. has me use in between visits. I went here to save time and money. That really backfired. read more

This place is great and do professional I love Ginny and Susan they always make time for me and when I make a reservation they are always on time. I have recommended many of my friends and they love it here!!!!! read more

This place is a hidden gem, im so peticular with my nails that ive just given up and taken the tips off because i couldnt stsnd the way they looked. I cant rave about this place enough! Im so impressed im sitting in the pedicure chair leaving a review. Im so happy i found this place, you will be too! John takes his time to make sure your nails look the way you like them. Can't recommend John enough, best nail tech I've had in honestly 7 years or so!! read more

Great service, they took me right away. I got a full set of acrylics and it took almost half the time of the old place I went. They look amazing. The girl who did them was pleasant and did exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be going back. read more

I went there for the first time and I will not be returning. While getting my pedicure the woman cut my toe open and without acknowledging it she poured some type of liquid on it and it burned. Also it was extremely unsanitary, when she was using the cuticle cutters she was letting the skin fall back into the water. She was also really rude and told me she hadn't slept in two days. No thank you I will not be back. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS NAIL SALON!!! I have been getting acrylics for quite some time, and I went to Beauty Nails in Reading for a fill with my mother. It was the worst nail experience I have ever had in my life. First of all, it took an hour and a half to FILL my nails which should take half the time. She kept yanking my arms aggressively toward her so it was easier for her. She would not stop coughing all over me, but apparently thought her mask was a barrier, which is WAS NOT. I was in pain the entire time I was there, holding back tears, too polite to say something, so instead proceeded to gently pull my hand away when the pain became too unbearable, but she continued rather aggressively. I come home to see that my nails are all completely different shapes and the paint job is unacceptable. I will not be paying $30+ for a horrible job I could be doing much better by myself at home. I should not be walking out of a place they call SPA, ironically, with tears in my eyes and burning fingertips. read more
