    Thumb nail broke after two days

    Sloppy, over whelming chemical smell, slow service. What a horrible experience. I went for a gel pedicure and dip polish change. The two services exceeded 2.5 hrs and majority of that time was waiting IN the chair for the tech who was bouncing between three clients. The results were so sloppy, my dip nails started to chip within 2 days and by day 8 most were damaged badly. I am not in a laborious profession, and have been getting my nails done in gel/dip for over two years and I have never had such a poor experience at a salon. Photos attached of craftsmanship.

    Very sore from this poorly done mani.

    After not coming here for many months, I was in a time crunch and tried to give them one last try. BIG mistake. The tech absolutely butchered my fingers around the nail beds (photo attached of the worst & most painful one) and my fingers are extremely sore today. I will never come here again. Stay away from this awful place.

    I asked for this shape

    Every-time i go here it's a problem. The only good ones are the owner and july other than that it's not even worth it! And i was charged 60 for this..... i would not recommend at all

    Two broken nails after 2 days

    Got a refill on Thursday, had 9 nails by Friday and woke up with only 8 by Saturday. Did not last at all, acrylic minimal and shaved down too much. Girl that did my pedicure rushed. I also only seen the other pedicurist wipe the seat down after a client did not see anyone doing nails do such. I will never go here again, they suck entirely I should've listened to the reviews.

    By far the best salon i have been to in my year of living in Rhode Island, the service was fast and hassle free .. my nails were exactly what i wanted

    I had went there yesterday and the guy had made my mails to thin and when I put my pants on the nail broke like a peice broke off they also. Got the wrong color the original picture is added and the sparkles are different

    Horrible job. Nails were in pain from the lady ripping off the old nails. I don't recommend this place is brand new but they are horrible

    Update: the gel on my nails completely popped up when I tried to open a soda today. By the end of the day, 3 nails had popped off.

    I've been going to Noir Nails & Spa for a while now, and Paula and Leah are absolutely wonderful…read more Not only are they incredibly meticulous and detail-oriented, but they are also some of the kindest, warmest people you'll meet. 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. I have ingrown toenails, so pedicures can be painful if they're not done properly. Paula and Leah take such great care of me that my toenails never hurt after an appointment. They are gentle, thorough, and really know what they're doing. Not only are they talented, but they make every visit enjoyable. I would highly recommend either of them to anyone looking for a great pedicure and exceptional service.

    I spent a lot of time reading reviews and specifically chose Leah for my elderly mom, who had been…read moresaving for months for a special mani/pedi. 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.

You'll see their sign from the road, which also advertises their special prices. Their prices are definitely more affordable than some of the larger nail salons, which I really appreciate. For me personally, this place is exactly what I'm looking for. I like to get in, get my pedicure done, and get out. I'm not really looking to spend a long time at the salon with a bunch of extra services. I just want a good, basic pedicure that gets the job done, and that's exactly what I get here. I also love their prices because they're much more affordable than some of the larger salons. I normally call ahead, and they're usually very accommodating. The salon itself is clean, the staff is very nice, and the pedicure is good. It's a basic pedicure without all the extras--no steam, extended massage, or shoulder massage--but honestly, that's perfectly fine with me. My only complaints are that they don't allow tips to be added to a credit card, so when you pay by card, they'll ask if you have cash for the tip. I always tip, but I don't love being asked because it can feel a little uncomfortable or like an expectation. I also wish the massage portion of the pedicure was a little better. It's more of a quick rub of your feet and legs rather than an actual massage. That said, you're paying less here than you would at many other salons, so I think it's important to set your expectations accordingly. If you're looking for an affordable, clean salon where you can get a basic pedicure without spending a ton of time or money, I definitely recommend it. If you're looking for a luxurious pedicure with a long, relaxing massage and lots of extras, this probably isn't the place for you. But for me, I love being able to get in and out, get the job done, and pay a great price. Overall, a solid four-star experience.

    I had my nails done yesterday at Magic Nails. This was the third or 4th time I have visited this…read moreestablishment. It was a bit of an odd visit. First and foremost, I visited because I had a gift certificate. I walked in around 3pm. It was pretty dead and I was immediately seated for a pedicure. My nail tech was super quiet, which I appreciate. There are no options here except gel or no gel. I like different options for the pedicure even down to what kind of lotion do you want? Some people are smell sensitive. Right down the road (and around the corner) is VIP Nails. I just like that they have options! (Such as Honeymoon pedicure, callus removal, etc...) She did a fine job but I can share I could do what she did at home. What I particularly like about pedicures is that they get all that dead skin off. She barely went to town. I opted to have a manicure as well since I had the gift certificate and I had enough time. Here's where things got funky... I was not offered which shape I wanted my nails to be. She chose rounded which I never go for. She did not lay out anything out for the manicure to happen over. Usually its a plush towel. She cut corners- one hand got cuticle lotion the other did not (she oddly sprayed it in the water?) While she was working on my nails a man came over asking about my phone. HE PICKED IT UP AND STARTED TOUCHING THINGS!! ON MY PHONE!!! I think he is the owner. At a certain point during my pedicure an odd noise started occurring. Like a dead animal wail- it was him singing. Nobody else was flinched, it must be a common occurrence. I did pay attention to him and he likes to have a good time. Hey- good for you. I like having a good time too but I don't appreciate you touching my phone. The towels used to dry me off were like old rags, tattered and rough. Sitting at the drying station, which are very old, the amount of funk in the fans was gross. Bottom line: If you are looking to be pampered- head to VIP. If you want the job done and cheaply, Head to Magic and leave your phone out.
