The service is very bad. The nail tech rushed me out of the nail spa. I will not return to this place. The nail tech didn't even bother to scrub my feet or properly clean my toe cuticle. Nail tech also skipped cleaning my cuticles when I got my manicure done. read more

I came in around 4pm on a Wednesday! They were moderately busy, but gave me full attention as soon as I walked in. I received the basic pedicure ($35) and added the callus treatment ($13). The massage chairs are a nice touch. I waited ~20 mins after walking in with no appointment, and the entire process took about an hour. They accept tip via card, but prefer cash. I wish the callus removal was a little more extensive, but I also do not get pedicures often, so I do not know what the standards are. Overall good basic pedicure for the price! I will be returning. read more

I've used this place many times since moving to the area but I have to say the last few times have been an awful experience and after today I will not be coming back. Last visit the tech was very rude and made me feel like a bother the entire time, mind you my life is crazy and there isn't much "me" time I get to have, so this was very off-putting and made for a poor experience. I decided to give it another try nonetheless and request another nail tech (didn't have to ask) but this time I told them I wanted a fill in, we sat down, they tried to convince me I didn't need extensions (which I do and prefer for a certain shape I like) then mid way they told me they didn't have time and to come back tomorrow. I think they just aren't very experienced in doing nail trends beyond a typical square shape powder manicure. Extremely disappointed. read more

This place is absolute perfection!!! customer service is always amazing. The attention to details is my favorite thing. I had the spa pedicure and my nails done with Kris and she did great. 100% recommended!! read more

I have been coming to Charming Nails for several years and get the dip manicure. I also get a pedicure every once in a while. Angela does an amazing job on my nails. She takes her time to make sure that they look perfect every time. The dip manicure lasts me a minimum of 3 weeks. read more

Clean and friendly. I asked for an oval gel manicure and file only. They filed ALOT and my nails are not oval. I asked for more oval and he made them slightly more rounded but still definitely not oval. I debated going to another place right after but now I don't have enough nail to even make them oval. I also personally don't feel like he painted far enough down my nail. They look okay from far away but stubby and square. They had regular/frequent customers while I was there so maybe I just had a bad experience. read more

First time experience for a gel manicure at Charming Nails today and I was very happy with my service. First off, it's hard to find anywhere open on a Sunday, so this is a huge plus! The person on the phone was polite and offered me an appointment about an hour after my call time (I would have understood if they were fully booked!) My service was $35 for the gel manicure plus tax (make sure you have cash for tips- they have an ATM on site too just in case) Overall, would come back :) read more

Just got the worst manicure after finally getting my nails done 40 minutes after my appointment time. No attention to detail, paint all around my fingers and each nail is a different shape. I have been going here for over a year and will not be returning. read more

They did a great job with my gel nails but the two stars is for how unsanitary their practices are. My nail tech handed another nail tech a cuticle pusher, which the other nail tech wiped on her shirt/apron and started using it on another person getting her nails done. I didn't have any bad outcomes like a fungal infection or anything, but I won't ever go back. read more

So impressed. This just might be my new forever salon. Others think so too as it was packed the entire time I was there! Staff really take their time to ensure everything is perfect. I got a gel manicure with extensions and a pedicure with a 10 minute massage. I wish I got the girls name who did my pedicure but she did an amazing job. My feet felt so refreshed and the callus treatment was well needed after winter! Eileen did my nails and they are PERFECTION. She spent so long ensuring each nail was perfect. Best manicure I've ever gotten. I love the color I chose too, its a grey/blue/white. #90 in gel. Comes with a neck / shoulder massage which was heaven. Location couldnt be better, right off the highway close to Blueback Square. Make sure you have an appointment as theyre busy! **any nicks on my fingers are not from the salon, Im a nail biter lol read more

I've been coming here for several years. The last few times, the owner has been very rude. I understand if tips are preferred in cash, but stating to your customer to tip more money because they are paying in card BEFORE the service is even finished is insanity. After he said the tip is not enough, and I stared at him in disbelief. He then walked away to charge my card and when returning slammed my card down and said next time bring cash. Well sir, there won't be a next time. I came here because of location - there is nothing spectacular about the quality of the manicures and pedicures here. I've also had friends meet me here to have a girls mani date and they have also been treated less than friendly by the owner while waiting for me to arrive, which is quite embarrassing for me at having invited them to this nail salon. There are plenty of other nail salons with more respectful owners and nail artists. If you're looking for a peaceful experience - this is not it. read more

I had a pedicure here and it was a great experience. I made an appointment and they put me in the chair right away with nice hot water. I was able to sit and relax before a woman got started which i love. The woman who did my pedicure took her time.. I did the one above a regular pedicure. Regular pedicure was $35, next is either $50 or $55 read more

My go-to nail salon. My favorite thing about this place is that the staff asks you questions to make sure you're getting exactly what you want. I truly enjoy their pedicures--they're absolute heaven. Plus their attention to detail is what keeps me coming back. Cannot go wrong coming here (you can walk-in or make appointment so a last minute stop isn't out of the question!) read more

Charming Nails & Spa - It's the most wonderful time of the year... for cute nails - Nail Salons Near Me - West Hartford, Connecticut

Came here last minute to get my toes done for my birthday trip & it was not a good experience. I wasn't greeted at all to begin with. I had realized once I walked in, if you know you know! She did the absolute bare minimum in less than 10 mins and was going to paint my toes. The nails weren't even, and when I asked her to fix all of them she threw a mini temper tantrum amongst her coworkers. I was shocked when she painted my toes and got the polish all over my skin, said she was done & walked off! I didn't move, because I'm not going anywhere with messy toes. All I wanted was to relax before my trip. This was a horrible, uncomfortable experience & I will not be returning. Update, come to find out she didn't even let the gel dry so by the time I got home it was messed up! Absolutely ridiculous! read more

I was looking at yelp to get a gel pedicure today before my vacation on Sunday. I have a busy schedule being an eyelash tech that I forgot to have me time. I spoke to Peter, the owner to make an appt for today and he got me in. When I arrived I was greeted by all the staff. This place was new, extremely clean, and different from other nail salons. Upon arrival, they give you a bottle of water during your service. They want to get to know you and ask questions about yourself. I would recommend this salon to people who are interested. I got a regular pedicure $32, gel polish $15, and they have a promo 15%off so it ended up being $40 bucks about before the tip. Let's talk about the service, they removed my gel polish and clean up the toes before soaking them in water. Different experience bc I wonder how she was going to get the extra skin underneath or on the side. She was able to. She painted my toes before letting me soak them in water. They offer a massage that is amazing; they should do massages as well bc the touch was great! At the end of the pedicure they offer a five minute back massage; I would def come back for this. Thank you Peter and his staff for making this a good experience read more

I've been here many times. It's clean and competent but either I've waited a long time when I get there for a promised appointment or today a pedicure was done in record speed. The pedicure person bumped into me a few times while she kicked me out of the chair while cleaning it for another customer while I was still putting on my shoes. While I may sound kinda bratty, I go to relax and be treated just a tiny bit special. It's all business here. Prices are comparable to other salons in town. read more

Fantastic experience! Charming Nails matches its name -- they are charming and so sweet. This was my first visit to this hidden gem in Park Road and I'm glad I took the advice off of FB. I got a dip manicure and, Tina, the nail tech, did an amazing job. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back! read more

I have been coming to Charming Nails since they opened. They are really terrific! Peter is a caring, effective business owner and he remembers all his regular customers. There is minimal staff turnover here, which speaks to a calm, pleasant work environment. The salon is always spotless, and the technicians are all skilled and dedicated. They take reservations but also can usually accommodate walk-ins. Highly recommended! read more

First visit...happy! Pete took great care in fixing my gel nails. They look even and real. Loved the shoulder massage! I'm going back, hope it's just as good. read more

Great Customer Service. They didn't try to upsell me anything and had me out within an hour and a half (manicure/pedicure). Angela was my tech. read more

I decided to visit this place due to the very high rating and numerous ratings of almost 100. I was a walk-in for a pedicure and was quickly seated and offered a variety of options all increasing the $35 price. After declining all the options a young operator started to cut my toenails. She completed one foot and I complained that she left some sharpe edges which generally get caught on my socks. She seemed confused and flustered but I insisted that they be cut shorter. At that point Eileen came to the rescue and took over. Her pedicure was great and exactly what I had requested. If I ever return I will be asking for Eileen to perform the pedicure. The reason for only four stars is due to my first experience. read more

I would give this salon 10 stars if I could they are that phenomenal. In reference to the space, it is immaculately clean. All of the tools they use on your nails come right out of a new package. The pedicure tubs have liners in them that are replaced for every customer. And I have personally seen al employees working together to clean the place before closing. In reference to the service, you can't find anything better in a 30 mile radius of Hartford, CT. You walk in and you get a complimentary cold water bottle. When your nails are being done, every technician is meticulous about making sure they are perfect. I have been here 4 times and never left with polish on my skin which is usually my biggest pet peeve with nail salons. While your nails are drying, they give you a real 5ish minute shoulder and neck massage. When your nails are dry, they bring you to the sink and use an exfoliating scrub and wash your hands FOR YOU and then dry them with a warm towel. And of course they lotion and massage your hands back at the table after this. Here are some things to keep in mind: - Since they are such perfectionists about your nails, manicures tend to take over an hour so plan accordingly. - With all of the perks and how well they do, they are expensive. A dip powder manicure is $40, and $50 if you get extensions. Pedicures I believe are $32 for regular polish as well. - They accept payment methods of any kind, but prefer tips in cash. - They are AMAZING so they get pretty busy. Always call the morning of the day you want to go and set an appointment. - As if it couldn't get any better, every time you visit they mark a business card for you. After 10 visits, you get $10 off an appointment. If you're a person that regularly gets their nails done, this would be worth it. read more

Why does this place only have 10 reviews? It's AMAZING! So I came here for an ombré dip mani (that turned into a regular dip mani cause I keep wanting really complicated instagram ombré looks that are nigh impossible to replicate). In the effort of full disclosure, I have been an avid nail biter for 20+ years. My nails and cuticles were (and kinda still are) a HOT mess. Anxiety is a b... let me tell you. Why is this pertinent? Because my nails kinda grow upwards and have weird divots and holes in them. I've been told that the growth pattern may even out in a while or it might not. In either case, I am trying not to bite them and dip powder is a heck of a deterrent. Plus while the powder is on your nail, you nail is rock hard and tends not to break. Anyways, it works for me. The problem is that I've hated nail salons since I was a kid cause my mom thought manis would make me stop biting. It just made it worse cause a lot of nail techs love belittling nail biters. Not all nail techs, I know, but I've found a lot do. Anyways, I came to Charming Nail because they said they could do ombré. I made an appointment with Peter and sat down. Did I mention that this was on a Sunday? Nail salons open on a Sunday? That's a plus! We had a discussion about what I wanted for ombré and then I decided that my moody butt wanted a bright gold nail color instead so we went with that. When I say that Peter is an artist, I mean it. He immediately realized that all my nails had irregularities. I explained that I used to bite my nails. We joked that it'd be really hard to bite your nails with dip powder which I agreed with. Everything was very non judgmental. He was teaching another nail tech about what the coffin shape for nails was (that's the shape we agreed on) but I was never made to feel crappy or belittled. He pulled out clear nail dip powder and proceeded to sprinkle, nail by nail clear power and even out my nail. Do you know how meticulous that is? I mean he went above and beyond. He made sure my nail had zero defects and that I left satisfied, asking me every so often if I liked the shape, the color, everything. I will note that this place gives shoulder massages with their nail services. I am somewhat skittish and almost jumped out my chair when one of the techs started the massage. Personally, I kinda needed a massage, my neck has been stiff for weeks so I liked it. If it's not for you, this is a heads up and maybe ask for no massage? Overall, I absolutely loved my service. I highly recommend this place. I've included a picture of my dip mani, please ignore my irregular cuticles and the skin around my nails, I'm still a work in progress :) read more

If I could give this place a zero for customer service, I would. The microaggressions made me very uncomfortable and I refuse to give my money to a business that doesn't make me feel welcomed or comfortable. I was the only Black woman in the nail salon and every employee persisted they stare at me, despite how polite I was. They would stare and laugh. When I looked up from one to the other, they would turn their head and chuckle. So disappointing and sad. read more

I got a gel dip and the lady who did my nails did a fantastic job. they came out super strong and pretty. the place was very welcoming and they offer massages after your nails are done. that was the best massage ever. read more

Clean place for a mani pedi. They didn't rush me on a Thursday afternoon. I was the only customer at first. The workers are very nice. I wanted a color that was not working out and they helped me find a better color. The massage is the best! I guess you get what you pay for because it was $70 for a pedicure and a gel mani. I normally pay $45 at a different place but they do not give massages. I will update my review pending how long my gel mani holds up. I think a total of 5 coats!!!!! read more

have been coming here for years and today for the first time I am disappointed!!! I returned today because after 3 days my dip powder has cracked. this has never happened before, so I called to come in and get them fixed. I was hoping to be greeted with understanding instead I was serviced by a young woman with attitude as if I did this purposely and wanted to come back and complain. I never write reviews but had to today because I am in comPorte shock !! read more

I have gone to this salon for a few years and have been so happy. It is a clean and comfortable salon. However the last three visits I have had a powder manicure that hasn't lasted more than a week or two. The have always lasted 3-4 weeks and that's why I'm comfortable with the $45 price but not for under 2 weeks of wear. I'm not sure if it's a different product or that the process is so rushed but it is. unfortunately, not worth it to go there anyone. read more

I come here all the time, service is great. The space is clean and they are taking great precautions for preventing the spread of covid-19.

I had a wonderful experience today getting a dip manicure. Peter was very sweet and his attention to detail is unmatched. He's truly an artist and takes his time making sure each nail is perfect. There is also a glass partition up at each table to ensure safety. All tools were sterilized and instead of dipping my nail he used a brush to tap the powder on. Peter also said if you break a nail you can return to get it fixed free of charge! Awesome customer service and end result. read more

Update! I went back to get a fill today and was not disappointed. The attention to detail that Peter takes is unmatched by anywhere else. Peter is also just so kind to his customers and really cares. Make sure to get one of their rewards cards! Was looking for a good nail place for a while and I think I found it! It was my birthday so my boyfriend and I decided to try to place out. Got a great pedicure and tried out their dip powder with tips and I love it! My boyfriend also got a pedicure and he really appreciated the time they took on his callus, he said the massage was great too! Prices are fair and you can't beat their service, cleaninrss and hospitality. My technician recommended what would be best for my nail health and what length would be good because I have shorter nails. I live 35-40 minutes away but this place is worth the drive. Thanks peter for a great service! read more
