    Vincent did an amazing job. Best dip manicure I've had in Boston. Very detailed oriented but speedy!

    Worst dip manicure I've ever had in my life

    I will never be coming back here again, it's been so long since I have written a yelp review but I felt compelled to after I not only hated my nails but I was treated extremely poorly. As you can tell from the picture, the guy that did my nails did a horrible job. After we were done and I hated them, I payed for all the work and even TIPPED. I don't usually have bad experiences, so this was a first, so after I did all that I thought to myself: well maybe if I express how I feel to another nail tech they will offer to re-do/not charge me if I come back another day since I'm trying to be as polite as possible, oh boy was I wrong. After I expressed how I did not really like the job (In the kindest way possible) and if I could come back the next day, the lady got MAD AND DEFENSIVE. "If you come back tomorrow we will charge you full price because this is time and money, go wear them for two weeks and come back" how am I suppose to wear something I hate ? Why are you telling me what to do and disregarding my experience ? she had 0 regard for how crappy I already was feeling, 0 customer service, I wanted to cry. So I just left. I'm not going to fight with this rude lady but the only thing I can do is warn people not to come here. You're better off giving your money to KINDER AND MORE PROFESSIONAL nail salons.

    Good overall look

    It's a good option for a quick, cheap, decent manicure. Got a shellac in about 20 mins for $25 plus tip. Service is kind of impatient so if you know you want already, that's fine. Not very good with details, had to ask mine to go back and fix some stuff. Eventually she just kept saying that's okay that's okay. Edges were uneven, but general good overlook. No word on how long it lasts though. Will update if it gets worse. TLDR - you get what you pay for. okay for the price.

    I have been in here several times for manis, pedis, and mani/pedis. It is not the fanciest place but gets the job done and with manis at $10 and pedis at $20, it is a good deal. Color selection isn't as wide as at some other places. Place is very clean, employees are friendly and seem happy, massage chairs are comfy, and the location is convenient to the C line / 66 bus. I've also never had to wait even when I come in on the weekends. Today when I went, I had a gentleman do my manicure and the hand massage was lacking -- lasted about 15 seconds (for both hands). He also only did one coat of polish, which is unusual, as most manicures I've ever had are 2. We'll see how well and long this polish holds up...

    Even and clean, even with my short nails!

    Tried this place for the first time today and overall had a great experience! I was a walk-in and they took me within a few minutes. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I don't think they used new/sanitized equipment. The place is clean, but I can't say they use new stuff each time. I would have to pay more attention next time. My nails are pretty short at the moment and she made sure there was no extra gel on my skin after she was finished. The gel is even and looks perfect! And for my toes, she did a great job with the French I asked for. The white is even and there's no polish on my skin. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Great massage chairs for pedicures

    This is my go-to manicure and pedicure place in Boston. There is usually parking in the Brookline lot, or metered parking right in front. The staff is pretty friendly and there are always a lot of staff to attend to clients. That being said, I have walked in for a pedicure, been told to pick out a color and sit in a massage chair, and have waited for... oh... 15 minutes. If you ask before you sit down, they are always honest about the wait time. They have a pretty good selection of nail polish and if you are planning on getting the gel, they have every color available by OPI and other top brands. My favorite part of a manicure and pedicure is the massage. I mean, I can technically pait my own fingers and toes so when I am paying for someone else to do it, the massage is really key. Unfortunately , the massages have ot lived up to my hopes. That being said, manicures are only 10 dollars ( I think pedicures and 15) and you can always find a 1 dollar off coupon on the internet.

    I came in for a mani and pedi. The service was fast, efficient, and cheap but the results were subpar. I had a lot of dead skin left on the bottom of my feet. My nails were also cut shorter than I would have liked. It's a great place for something quick and cheap but do not expect an over the top experience.

    Absolutely love Annie and Sue and the other pros at Brookline Natural Nail Spa! I've been a few times now -and I've frequented other more expensive salons-and this is far and away my favorite Coolidge Corner salon. Good prices, excellent service, clean, comfortable shop, extensive color selection and great quality gel services. I'm always concerned about the health of my nails and they are stronger than they've ever been. All of the techs seem to be quite skilled but I'm partial to Annie, who came highly recommended and has done outstanding work for me. This is my go-to neighborhood nail spot!

    Went in for a same day appointment gel French manicure ($35). They did a great job and gave my natural nails an attractive look/shape. It took under 30 min, and came out looking fabulous!

She's not judgy, she's not unkind, and she makes the process of ripping your pubic hair out of your body as not-awful as it possibly could be. The room is clean and smells nice. Her assistant Lara is also as kind as can be. She takes cash or checks and everyone is understanding if you don't come by on the regular or have to cancel at the last minute (I disappear for months at a time: my income ain't what it used to be) but if you can only go to one place for the rest of your life for waxing, this is where you should go. She's the best.

Douja is the only stylist that works here, services are appointment-only and appointments are scheduled with disinfecting time in between, so she and I were the only ones in the shop, and she could do her work just as well with both of us masked. The haircut itself was great -- I used to go to Douja when she was at Sublime Salon in Cambridge and I instantly remembered why. I'm a guy so I don't have the language to tell someone exactly what to do. With Douja I can just tell her how long I want it, maybe tell her about some terrible haircuts I've had while she works, and she's competent enough to handle the rest. Douja herself is also awesome -- she'll tell you exactly what she thinks and wants you to do the same. *Note that this is a new salon Douja started in 2020, so other staff from Sublime, gift cards, etc. are likely different.

My private area hairs HATE being waxed. I always end up getting ingrown hairs after a wax. I have had nothing but issues with waxing, even after visiting European Wax Center. Once upon a time I lived in Atlanta and would get waxes from Andreas, but I no longer live there. STRAVROULA, the waxer, was the absolute best. She works in the basement of a hair salon, but the wax room is clean and tidy. I told her I don't usually wax because of getting ingrown hairs. I was only getting a bikini wax, so she gave me a pair of disposable underwear. I thought that was great and professional. I told her I wanted to try the Sugar wax, as I had read about it, and wanted to try it out. She tried the sugar wax on me and the sensitive skin wax on me. She would use the different waxes for different parts of my skin. She payed attention to me, engaged in conversation and the wax did not hurt as much as I thought. The pain level was about the same with other waxes that I have had. After the wax, my skin was very bumpy and red, but within the next few hours that went away. I wanted to write a review the day I got the wax, but decided to wait because my issues usually pop up AFTER the wax with ingrown hairs, but I can say 1 week later, my extended bikini line is still bump free. I will ONLY be going to STRAVOULA and actually look forward to getting another before my next vacation. Side bar: I always HATE how people who wax you, tell you to come more often to reduce the pain and the amount of hair and I really think that is a myth and a way for the shop to make more money. At European Wax Center they always try and make you buy a package to save $X.00 over time and they wax you so fast, there is no personal touch. I feel that they only care about profits. I felt that Stravoula actually cared about my skin and wanted me to have a great experience. I do not hate EWC, but they are both near eachother and one is franchise, while the other is a small business owner who has been doing this sort of work for 20+ years. Good luck hairy gals!

Instead of using a single swift pull, this technician (Sheila) used a series of small pulls, which I believe led to the sores. But I'm not sure about that. What I can say is that I'm in my mid-50s, have been waxing for decades, and have never been left with sores/scabs. So this issue is distinct to this visit to EWC in Brookline, MA (and I've been to several others in the area). Additionally troubling is that I wrote a note to EWC stating the above to no avail, even offering to send them photos that I'd taken.

Anyway, the woman at the front desk was lovely, friendly, chatty, and very welcoming. Despite that, unless I want more scabs, returning to this EWC seems unwise and so I won't.
