Just had a wonderful pedicure and gel manicure this afternoon. It was the most thorough mani/pedi I have had in a long time. They made sure everything was perfect. Many places feel like they are trying to rush you out of there. I also got a complimentary shoulder message that was one of the best I've had in a long time. Definitely making this my go to spot. read more

I waited when I had an appointment scheduled for 4 pm for a deep muscle massage. Wasted time driving and waiting. No acknowledgement. No apologies for not having a massage room ready. I didn't see anyone in the massage area until a lady came and brought me to the nail salon section I asked when the room will be ready. That was 4:10. A male mani said in 5 minutes. I went to my suv and waited because the nail room was hot with no AC then stopped back at 4:35. No one still. I told them I will have to reschedule and left. Will not be back. As a chiropractic physician for 30 years I value my patients time Everyone should be treated respectfully and acknowledged read more

Went for the first time today. Been to a handful of salons up and down Rt. 25. I just need a trim and nothing really special, I'm a guy, so not looking for color lol. The massage though was the best I have had at any of the other spots. It was nice to get reflexology. Lucy took care of me and seemed to know what she was doing as she quickly removed a knot in my arch. Overall, a nice place with friendly staff. read more

My nails took a long time during that i realized that they want it to look and be the best so thank you read more

Blue Nail & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

Home of the Required 15% Tip. Walked into this nail salon without first reviewing Yelp. We are from San Diego but in the area visiting. The nail prices are quite elevated back home so I was surprised to pay such a high price for a relatively basic service. A full acrylic set with gel polish will set you back $70. Unlike back home, my coffin-shaped nails are very nice. I've never been able to have a uniformed coffin set so I'm very satisfied with that. On four nails I opted for just the tips to be colored with the gel polish. The majority of the nail is clear and is full of little bubbles. Definitely not the quality you'd expect for a $70 set. My husband walked in ahead of me to ensure we would be able to get a full set (me) and a basic pedicure (him). When I walked in Kevin says nails for me and pedicure for him would be $70. I assumed that was the total for both services as most people would. However, my nails alone were $70. My husband was satisfied with his pedicure but wish he didn't spend it getting hounded to upgrade his service. The entire time my husband and I were there the salon received a plethora of scammy calls. The owner Kevin was under the impression that they had been hacked. He was worried about customer security regarding credit card payments. With that being said my husband and I were not comfortable paying with a debit card. Thankfully we had exact cash to pay for our two services. ($103 for a full set + pedicure). We typically tip 20% on any service we get however, we only had exact cash and we were not willing to swipe our card since their system had been compromised. My husband paid as I was finishing up. When my nails were complete I got up to walk out and was stopped by Kevin. He said we needed to pay a 15% tip. I don't know about you but I've never known a tip to be a requirement. He insisted we needed to pay a mandatory 15% tip but failed to explain what service required a mandatory tip. Eventually, he said forget it and shooed us away. Little did Kevin know we were running to grab some cash to bring it back. However, that exchange was in such bad taste we left and did not return. Oh yeah... and an ant bit me while I was getting my nails done. It ran right across my arm while Kevin was working on my right hand. I pointed it out and he squished it between his fingers and continued to do my nails. read more

My gel polish chipped the next day and I had left for a trip. I had to get another manicure when I arrived to my vacation location. I did not ask for a refund yet the (I assume manager) preceded to talk down to me. He then told me their nails NEVER chip(therefore I must be lying). I showed him the pictures of the chipped nails dated the day after and he replied"oh yeah what year was that?"...again acting if I was being dishonest. Then he said , "well, why did you come back?" I told him I had good service prior and he tells me he doesn't recognize me(I've been going there for 3 years). I have spoken to him many times. Again, I wasn't even asking for a refund(which I should have). I also recall another time being there and watching him get into an argument with a customer. Toxic environment....NEVER will I set foot in this salon again nor will my daughter. read more

I've come here many times and had excellent service, but lately, it's been alright... I walked in today asking if they had availability for a full acrylic set with some designs. The owner Kevin is great, never had a problem with him and still don't. But, the lady who worked on my nails was very rough, cutting the tips of my fingers. She also rushed the entire process, over-gluing each one. The design I gave was changed to what she thought looked best, not what I was paying for. She decided to put clear designs on clear nails, which you cannot see at all and is a not what I asked for. In the end, they charged me $95, which seems absurd because I've never paid over $60. I'd still recommend to others, but just not my cup of tea anymore. read more

I got groupon for a massage from this place as I'm new to the area so before I commit to something, I like to try it out.... Not only did I have an appointment that no one wrote on the book but whoever I spoke to was extremely rude to me. (A man) After they checked the books and saw that I was not on the schedule he tells me to sit down and I don't mind waiting. I had no greeting when I walked in. Then after I wait 20min, he tells me "COME PAY" and I said I have already paid, I have a groupon and he very rudely says he needs to scan it. I got up to go do so. I was asking for some help because I rarely get asked to have it scanned. He ignores me so I politely told him, "I'm gonna go, I'll be back" he said K. No apology, no bye, nothing. I explained this to groupon and they very kindly refunded me. I don't know what is wrong with places like this, I'm assuming it's the discounted price I'm paying, including other things but if you don't want to do a service or don't wanna do discounts then don't put don't it. There's no need to take it out on other people. read more

I was lucky enough to find a good deal on Groupon that introduced me to this great salon. It was for two gel manicures that each included a 10 minute massage. Service was excellent each time. It was an all around positive, relaxing experience. I definitely recommend!! *Remember when you buy on Groupon it DOES NOT include tax and gratuity* read more

I started coming here when they first opened years ago. Service has always been top notch. Moved to South Carolina 4 years ago and still make a point to come when I'm back in town. I've never found a cleaner, more professional salon. Kevin, time to move South! read more

Received a gift massage at Blue Nail & Spa. Great location right in Newtown. The therapist was thorough and clearly knowledgeable. The atmosphere could use a little work however. Lots of noises from the sink and movement outside my rooms curtain during the massage kind of ruined the mood. Reasonably priced so worth a try. read more

Kevin, the owner of Blue Nail Spa, is the WORST! He is so rude and disrespectful. I came for a 5pm appointment, and he refused to provide me with service when I called him out on his behavior. A nail spa for relaxation and not for aggravation! I came to utilize a gift card. He is SCAM! He refused to honor my gift certificates. Go here at your own risk read more

It pains me greatly to write this review as I have been a very loyal customer for almost 10 years. I've witnessed Kevin's frustration with customers over the years but have never been on the receiving end until today. I called around 10:30 in the morning for a UV gel fill. Was told to come in at 3. I arrived on time and noticed Kevin was with another customer. After waiting 30 minutes I asked politely how much longer it would take as I had another appt to get to. I was abruptly informed that it was a holiday and that I was a last minute add. Again I called at 10:30 that morning so no I was not a last minute add. I was then told very nonchalantly that I could leave and come back. I recognize it's the day before a holiday but today marked the 3rd time in a row that I've been made to wait a really long time despite an appointment. Instead of acknowledging he was running late and being even remotely kind, he began to rant about how every customer has had to wait at least 30 minutes. I then asked him what's the point of making an appointment then to which he responded it's just like at a Dr's office and that waiting is to be expected. At this point I felt like I was being provoked so I smiled and responded that he was not a doctor. When I began to walk to the door he yelled at me not to come back again. I can't believe how rudely I was treated today after being such a devoted customer and exchanging so many personal stories. I will miss Nancy and MoMo who I've gotten to know over the years but I will never be back again. As someone who is in the customer service industry, a little appreciation and acknowledgement goes a long way. Do better Kevin - if not for your business then for your employees as I have been a very gracious tipper over the years. There was no reason to be so rude!! read more

Today a 2-star rating...I've been going to this nail salon since it opened many years ago and the owner had done my nails for several years before that Through the years I can count several instances of being treated rudely and most recently I was repeatedly insulted when I asked for my nails to be fixed. I had an 11:30 appointment. Granted I was 10-15 min late, but I called and was told it was still okay to come. No kidding I wasn't seated more than 15 min when someone came and I was pawned off to a new guy. While he was good with the gel, he needed a lot more practice polishing...every nail has an unpainted spot on one or both sides! When I asked to have them fixed, Kevin said "we have no time for fixing" and "you've been here long enough". Yes he actually said that to me. The girl who was sitting next to me raised her eyebrows in dismay! Maybe someone can tell me how it's my fault his nail technician took almost 3 hours to do a gel fill with design on my ring finger that doesn't look like nothing the picture I gave him to copy. In anticipation of an upcoming trip to Vegas, I asked for an Ace of Spades to be painted on my ring finger...see pic. It looks strange but again, "no time for design". But in both cases, very happy to take my money though! I've had enough mis-treatment...on to the next shop...they're certainly not the only nail shop in town. Find one that has time to stand behind their work. And you may save a couple of bucks...pricing is high. read more

Blue Nail & Spa - This is supposed to be an Ace of Spades! - Nail Salons Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

I agree with everyone that this place is a cash grab. After presenting my Groupon, the woman in the front added tax and an additional $5 for my nail polish that was on the wall with all of them. I asked where is it posted that that nail polish is an extra $5? The woman who did my manicure could not figure out how to do a round shape for my fingernails and they kept coming out square. That is basic manicure 101! I would not go here again. read more

Not sure if that girl is a licensed massage therapist. Booked and PAID for a hour and a half FULL body massage. The massage was just my back and my feet AND it was only 55 minutes long. read more

It was the worst pedicure I've ever had in my life!!! Usually they pull out a menu and never asked what kind of pedicure I wanted the girl Nancy was very rude and didnt say anything to me she didn't ask if I wanted my callous's done which I did she just left me sitting with wet nails now I have to go somewhere else and pay double to get it done correctly stay away!!! When I told them how dissatisfied I was they didnt offer anything to make it right just stared at me keep your hard earned money don't waste it here read more

Kevin and his team always provide personal and professional service. The powder manicure lasts 3 weeks at minimum and do not look thick and fake. The natural and long lasting look allows me to continue to work hard with my hands at the gym, while maintaining a professional look for work. The salon is kept clean and the products are maintained with new colors based on trend as well as seasonal looks and personal suggestions are always welcome. The team here is great and I recommend if you are looking for a professional look! read more

Can we all just witness what kind of pathological lier the business owner is changing his story back and forth as you can all see in the screenshots? I'm in the business industry too and I give honest proper reviews and know how a customer should be treated. This business does not deserve anyone's hard earn money. As much as they don't want business from me, I'm happy to not give them any of mines. This business owner is completely unprofessional even with the audacity to use profane language to customers (as you can see in the screenshot) and to never admitting to wrongdoings (as you can see his responses to all other yelpers). What a joke! read more

Everyone on here is honest BUT YOU KEVIN!! You are the biggest liar on here!! PLEASE EVERYONE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DONT GO!! I can even provide anyone receipt or proof that THIS OWNER IS A LAIR!! I bought TWO services on Groupon and Yes I used one on 02/24!! That's why I'm this upset Kevin, because your employees make mistakes but it's the customers fault right?! It's fine. No need to argue here. Tons of other reviews will show how shitty of person you are STAY AWAY!!!! 千萬不要去!!! ZERO STARS!!!! Had the worse experience of my life. The owner/manager/whoever he said he was at the front desk was rude and disrespectful! First, don't ever purchase their Groupon I know it's good deal but it's a scam! When you get to the salon, you want to show them your Groupon, they just keep telling you"will look later will look later, pick color first" Then OF COURSE after the service, you show them the Groupon, "something is error from Groupon" "you have to call Groupon..."He was literally no help, made us look thru our emails even when we showed him the order number the information, apparently wasn't enough. He said"we have been doing this for 5yrs, you can make bad review all you want, we don't care!" The owner of the business stated THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER, THE GROUPON, THE SERVICE. When a owner respond to you like this, I strongly think they really do not care about the customers! On top of all, this was not the first time I went there. Therefore I'm just so disappointed with the service, the attitude, the rudeness of the owner! There are so many other AMAZING nail and massage spas around this area, so please everyone DO NOT GO TO Blue Nail Salon!! You will appreciate this review and not get scammed on Groupon and Blue Nail Salon!(What Blue Nail salon is doing with Groupon is they sell special promotions on Groupon to get customers in, then they find any sort of excuses after they scanned the barcode n come up with ridiculous error like"the code is invalid or he scanned the extra barcode n act like he didn't do it! Then make you either get Groupon on the line which it's impossible sometimes!! Then they just make you have to pay FULL PRICE for the service you just did not even honoring the price you purchased on Groupon! So Blue Nail collects money from Groupon then from Customer as well) PLEASE BE AWARE, don't let them scam your money!!! read more

Owner is unpredictably rude. Not the same owner from 5 years ago. Now he takes naps during the day. When he wakes up he's always in a foul mood. Been loyal for over 4 years. Took 2 verbal thrashings in 2 months from the owner. Owner will try to justify his behavior. But I don't care. He was dead wrong both times. I'm gone. Read other recent reviews. There's a pattern here with the owner. They do great work, but I suggest everyone go someplace else if you want to RELAX and feel comfortable. I feel sorry for the staff. read more

Appalled by the customer service. Half of this didn't even happen nobody asked me for anything extra or if I could pay extra for something. Attached is a picture of my "uneven nail beds".

Can't wait to see this place close down... read more

The actual people who do the nails can get a little bossy and tug on your fingers if they aren't in the exact place you'd like. And if you misunderstand or don't answer within seconds, they get rude about asking the question again. It was my birthday over the weekend and my mom bought me a groupon for a gel manicure and a back massage for this place. So I went, even though I had been before and didn't have a very good experience. Turns out they don't actually accept Groupon vouchers. Or groupon doesn't know what they're doing, which I doubt. I seriously dislike this place read more

I won't be back. They had no problem fitting me in when I was paying money, but when I went back the day after spending $45 for a manicure just the day before, and needed a repair on 2 chips in my fresh manicure, suddenly they didn't have time. I was a loyal customer for more than 2 years, religiously going every 2 weeks and spending at least $50 each visit. I always tipped the nail techs very well, and I don't feel I was given the same loyalty in return. I went to a different salon in town who gladly repaired the chips in less than 15 mins and that salon now has my business. It pays to recognize customer loyalty. read more

Will NOT redeem your Groupon! I purchased a Groupon for this business for a pedicure and back massage as well as a Thai massage for another day. I made an appointment as per the Groupon page requested. When I sat with the nail technician and he pulled out a menu I told him I had the Groupon for pedicure and 10 minute back massage. He said Ok. I was in the massage chair and got the pedicure done - he took out a timer and showed me 10:00 on the clock and massaged my legs. I thought it was weird but thought ten mins was ten mins. When I went up to pay I told the manager I had a Groupon. He said,'oh no the service you got is not the Groupon, it's for a specific thing, a specific person, etc.' I told him that I had told the nail tech I had a Groupon. He asked the nail tech who said No. The pedicure was $38!!! It was a basic pedicure. I am so incredibly disappointed and feel ripped off. Needless to say, I do NOT recommend this business!!! read more

Nice clean salon. I've never had an issue getting service upon walk in. Appreciate the complimentary foot massage too!

I absolutely love this place! I moved over a year ago to MA but i visit Newtown often as my mom lives there. Everytime i go cisit i always make an appt here because they are the best! I have gel manis from them that have lasted over a month! Pictured below are my current nails, i had them done beginning of november. Its now almost mid december and i have minimal chips. Friendly service, little pricey but totally worth it. I wont go any where else! read more

Hi I have lived in town for 20 years. I am not one to go and get manicures all the time (I just don't pay that much attention to my nails) every time I have gone in to Kevin for a manicure, his location is ultra clean and they are super on top of sanitizing, the service is excellent, the nail ladies are pleasant and I always have a nice relaxing experience. I always enjoy the back massage as well since I never pamper myself that way either. I have nails that grow like weeds, so I usually cut them at home and don't really get a proper manicure. When I do decide to pop into get a mani or mani/pedi - I go to Blue Nail Spa. It is close to my shop (I own The Persnickety Bride) and I relax and get just a simple manicure or if I have more time a mani/ pedi. I tell the girls not to cut my cuticles and they do what I ask. We are all going through a tough time with covid and yes companies have had to up their price a bit. I don't get all the fancy UV and Acrylic stuff, so for the work I get done , they do a terrific job. Kevin is a very nice owner and always is trying to accommodate his clients. If you are a new client - I would call them and find out their pricing of everything if that is an important factor in getting their services - but if you are going in for a simple lovely mani or mani/pedi - I highly recommend them. read more

Decided to try this salon after I received a $5 off coupon in the mail! I'm very happy I did. I made an appointment, but arrived early and they were able to take me. Tiffany did my nails and I would definitely recommend her!! I was able to show her a picture of what I wanted and she did a fabulous job! She was so meticulous with taking my old shellac manicure off and making sure my nails were smooth before applying the new shellac. I was given a complimentary massage by another employee which was wonderful. They did try to upsell me on a 10 min massage after that but I did not mind. The entire salon was super clean and very relaxing. All of the employees were extremely polite and their English was great. My shellac manicure included paraffin as well! A color shellac is $30 and French shellac is $40. They do charge $5 to take off old shellac manicure, but I don't mind this charge (I know some people do). They have a rewards card that give you discounts that you can sign up for for $5. They had small signs that stated that they preferred cash tips, so just an FYI if you go! I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!! read more

Blue Nail & Spa - Nails for the Christmas season! - Nail Salons Near Me - Newtown, Connecticut

First time customer and probably last. I had a very nice powder manicure, regular pedicure, and complimentary massage that was ruined in moments. While the service total cost $92 that I was willing to pay (no questioned asked), plus a tip, I was embarrassed and felt taken advantage of. At the end of my service, I willingly left gratuity via credit card. To remind you, gratuity is never mandatory. The woman told me I had to pay tip with cash "next time". After looking at my receipt, she asked me "where is tip" "you paid $92, where is tip?" She apparently did not like the $10 tip I left, so i wrote a few more dollars down and she walked away from me. While I left a tip I was yelled at for how much I left and essentially forced to leave more as everyone in the salon stared at me. That's extremely inappropriate. read more

I just got a mani and eyebrow wax with a 10min chair massage here for the first time and loved it!!!! I recently relocated jobs so straying from the place I've been going to for 3 years was hard!

Save your money and find a salon that appreciates loyal respectful good paying and tipping customer's!!!! I had a 12 noon powder nail appointment with the owner Kevin, I arrived at 11:55 as kevin said" he won't wait more than 5 minutes for a customer ". He had a client in his chair, I sat and patiently waited. It's now 12:48(48 minutes late) he calls out to me to tell me to get a pedicure. I asked if he was almost done w the client in his chair..... he was but then said he has someone else to do before me. Unbelievably Rude and incredibly unprofessional!! I informed him I'd been waiting almost 1 hr already and would just get my nails done with him and forgo the scheduled pedi as it was getting too late. He said he was doing someone else before me and I had to wait another hour and not to argue with him because that's the way it is!!! Despite the fact that I had a scheduled appointment which I confirmed with kevin yesterday and that he had me sitting waiting almost 1 hour before telling me he wasn't honoring my appointment and it'd have to wait 2 more hours. Of course I left and will never return. Shame on you blue nails Shame shame shame I'm completely disappointed and that is a terrible way to run a business read more

I've been a customer for more than two years and I'm a VIP member and supposedly they take walk-ins and they prioritize their VIP members and the one day I came in without an appointment they tell me they can't do my nails because they had an appointment which by the way wasn't even there. I came early, drive drove 25 minutes and waited in the parking lot till they came in to get my nails done just to be told that no one could do my nails. Meanwhile there's about 8 nail technicians in the salon but apparently none of these people were capable of doing my nails. I think it's messed up that they don't take care of the customers they had for a long time. Never coming back to the salon! read more

I have been dying to go here since I moved to CT 2 years ago. Only reason I haven't is because of their prices. They are a bit too high for the normal every two week visit for my powder gel manicure. But today I wanted to try them out. I have to say that I was slightly disappointed in the service of the "social" aspect. The receptionist wasn't as warm or friendly and it was very quiet. Almost too quiet. But I will say that my nail technician did a fantastic job on my nails and that is rare to find. I love how my nails came out. Over all if you're okay spending 47 dollars for a powdered gel or up then this is the place. Although pricey it's great quality care on your toes and fingers! And isn't that what we all want! only reason I give it a 3 out of 5 is because of the not so welcomed feeling but overall it was good. read more
