They have extremely poor quality acrylic nails. You pay an arm and a leg for them to fall off in less than two weeks. I totally agree with the comments below. It is criminal, they ruin your nails. You are better off buying press ons! I JUST got these done not long ago. read more

The guy that did my manicure physically hurt me. He should not be doing manicure. worst manicure I have ever had.

So let me start off with their Covid-19 procedures are not safe at all. People are not 6ft apart. There are say too many people in there for it to be safe. On top of them taking multiple appointments at a time when there is not enough space and everyone is busy. I went there on Saturday and I didn't want to be rude when i got my nails done but they were not to my liking. They were already lifting and had multiple air bubbles. My toe nails were not even straight. I still tip whether I like my nails or not because idk how much these people get paid and im not that type of person. But this has been by far my worst experience EVER. By Monday my nails were falling off, I wasn't even feeling them come off. I called for a refund and was told that they don't give refunds that the owner Judy will fix them. But they were so bad she would have to start over... Her response was "I will have to decide when I see your nails". Ok no problem. So I tried to schedule an appointment for 5:30 but she had someone and told me to come at 6. I thought it was a little off that she would only take 30 minutes on someone nails. So the day of my appointment comes and I was running 15 minutes late because I work with kids on the autism spectrum and it was just one of those days. She told me she cannot take me because she had someone else at 6:30. AGAIN I don't understand how she thought she was going to fix my nails in 30 minutes without seeing them. Just the worse experience all around. All my nails came off like they were stick ons, I didn't even need to soak them off. read more

I was a walk in and got serviced right away with a friend and we both got full sets. They did awesome work! I showed them a photo of what I wanted and they did the color and design to the tee. My nails also lasted 3 weeks to almost a month without breaking. Definitely would recommend coming here! read more

I made an appointment well in advance for multiple services because I had a special event. My schedule was very tight which is why I made the appointment well in advance. I received an email the day before CONFIRMING my appointment. The morning of my appointment I received a call that the technician wasn't going to be around so she wanted to change the time to 10 am (45 minutes from the time she called). Umm, I have a JOB, no I can't just decide to leave work RIGHT THIS SECOND because you are unprofessional and can't manage your schedule! I said, just give me anyone else. I don't care. My schedule is not flexible. They would not give me anyone else because other people were busy. What is the point of making appointments and confirming them if you are not going to honor them? Terrible Terrible Terrible. read more

My Favorite tech is Lisa for my nails, Summer is good at the pedi station. Overall a good and clean establishment.

I called to get my lashes done, I asked for NATURAL I ended up with lashes that scared me! I asked her to remove them and she ended up trimming them down which was to say the least a very stressful process since I was afraid my own lashes are also getting trimmed.. the pedicure is great but doesn't feel clean.. old, fainted washed up towels.. very poor selection of Dried up nail polishes.. over all I will not come back unless I bring my own towels to get a pedicure Three weeks later I went to get those lashes removed as she kept claiming she can't give the solution out!!! Here is why!!! She didn't use any solution! She damped my lashes with hot water and literally pulled the fake ones out with tweezers!!! I am left with NO lashes! My bottom lashes are longer than top!!! read more

Here is an outstanding example of how you get what you pay for. I wanted eyelash extensions for my wedding and wanted to test them out first. Cherry is one of the only places in the area who listed their prices for eyelash extentions online and seemed reasonable. Most salons are charging in excess of $100. Cherry was $30. The room where they do the lashes, waxing, etc was really gross. Dirty, small, with two places for people to lay down to get treatments. The process of putting on the lashes was relatively painless and the final result was not really what I was going for. The amount of glue used to affix them make them all clumpy and I decided this was probably not the way to go for my wedding. But I figured I would live with it for a couple of weeks until they started to fall out. The lashes started falling out a couple of days ago (about 10 days after the application). Today I decided they all needed to be removed because they were starting to look pretty silly. That's when the fun started. It took me over an hour of agony to pry the lashes off my face and in the process managed to remove more than 1/2 of my existing lashes. There was SO MUCH GLUE that you couldn't even remove one lash at a time. They were all stuck to each other so you had to loosen them up all together and then try to scrape them off gently without pulling out the natural lashes. This does not work at all. So my opinion is this. If you are looking for lash extensions bite the bullet and go to the fancy salon and pay the money for the good ones. Save yourself the agony of cheap, poorly applied lashes. read more

Cherry Nails - Post removal of lashes. Swollen, red and painful eyes. Never again. - Nail Salons Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Judy does amazing nails and I will not take that from her. I received a pedicure and full set and my nails are still in tact and feet are still smooth. I also my eyelashes done by Judy.....NEVER AGAIN! She does not apply them properly doesn't use proper lash glue and caused major damage to my lashes. My first time ever With a set! Although yea they looked cute I had major irritation due to an excessive use of glue. She couldn't even tell me the brand of her glue when I called back to ask! Like I said nails were great. Stick to that. read more

Got an amazing pedicure last week. But this week, I got a manicure and the woman doing my nails made my finger bleed such that there was blood surrounding my entire nail. She still charged me full price and no compensation. I left very upset and I don't plan on returning. read more

I just have to say for the 3rd time how amazing this nail salon is. I've never had a bad manicure here ever. I'm moving away and am very sad that I won't be able to come here anymore. My last manicure was the best one yet: ombré dip with tips. They take their time and treat you like friends/family, and deserve every penny you pay them. read more

I've been going here for a few months rather faithfully and (because I've worked for tips before) I always try to tip well. Never had to return for a fix on a nail in my memory....got my nails done 4 days ago and had the nail fairly pop off ...they charged for the fix..grr..OK..fine.... This is also my second time getting lashes and the last set was almost a war zone to get off, but I was happy they were so sturdy. This second go they had a younger tech install them and they definitely did not look as good as the first time I had them done...Fine, different styles, I'll live....I wasn't so fine with it when they started falling out. I was also charged today for that "fix" ....even though its only been a few days! Its frustrating that they didnt take recognition that I had JUST been there for the installation and perhaps the fallout was because it was a poor one. Customer loyalty is number one to me in my own business and for business that I am a patron of and I'm more than a little pissed off and definitely disappointed. Not planning to return anytime soon. I thought I had my final salon that I'd be going to for years to come....Guess not :/. Otherwise, the guy who does designs is excellent. Buyer beware that they don't all do the same quality of work so trying a new tech maybe you're last time there. Saddness. read more

I went in at nearly 5pm on a weekday and there was no wait. They did my pedi and mani at the same time and it was well done, especially the pedicure! Took their time, no rushing. My nails look great and it only cost $33.00 for both. read more

This was my second time going back to Cherry Nails and I will never go back there again even if someone wanted to pay for it! In terms of the technicians it's a crap shoot, which is why I gave it two stars. The first time I had a decent technician but my daughter did not. Her pedicure was peeling within a few days. It has been a couple of months and I thought I'd give them another try, I went in today for a mani/pedi. They had a wait so when I was finally told to go to the back for my pedi, imagine my surprise to discover the same person that gave my daughter her mani-pedi was running water for me. I should have just turned around and walked out, live and learn. In any event I stayed, before he was finished the first foot I knew I was not going to allow him to give me a manicure. It would have been time and and money I never got back. He does not know how to cut, shape or file nails evenly. I could have done this at home and it would not have cost me a cent. That was a colossal waste of $25.00. In addition to taking personal calls during my pedicure, did I mention the sister (Phoung) and brother like talking and giggling about customers! I am a very generous person, I did not even give him a tip. Well, I guess you really do get what you pay for!! Urgh..... Do yourself a favor avoid this place like the plague! Not to worry Cherry Nails, I won't be back. I will give my money to people who actually want to earn it and know how to file, cut, shape and polish nails. read more

Young guy didn't know how to do powder dip. They put your hands in a bowl of hot acetone instead of using foils which made the polish soak off into a sticky slime that was all over my hands. I wasn't asked if I wanted a manicure done in addition to the powder dip. Color wasn't extended out to the sides of the nails leaving raw nail exposed which puts the nail at risk of breaking/splitting. Young guy put my hands under the air dryer which you don't do for powder dips. It caused the top coat to disintegrate into a smeared looking mess which they had to fix by putting a clear gel coat overtop and use the led light to seal. Edges of nails are rough and needed smoothing. He even left excess product all over my skin without realizing it needed to be removed. One of the worst nail jobs I've ever had done!! read more

Had acrylic nails put on followed by gel polish 3 weeks ago. I also received a pedicure with polish the same day. I took the polish off my toes as it was starting to fade, and also noticed that my left big toenail was starting to lift. After removing the polish I found that the entire nail had lifted and was moldy. I then went to another establishment to have the acrylic fingernails taken off and found there to be mold under all of my fingernails as well! I went to the dr about my toenail, where the majority of the nail that had rotted was removed and was given an antibiotic cream, and was told the nail may not ever grow back properly. I simply went to the salon to explain what had happened, showed proof that that services were done there and all I asked for was a refund. I tried to talk privately so that the current customers in the store did not hear and resolve the issue peacefully. The 3 staff members that came to speak to me immediately became defensive. Saying "well we don't t know what happened" as I was showing them my mold ridden nails and offered to pay me 1/2 of a refund of 34$! Mind you I may have permanently lost a toenail! I was also told that I "should have come back right away when the mold started not 3 weeks later when I had to point out that I had no way of knowing until the nail started to life as there was polish over them all! He said that if I came back in 2 months and the nail still did not grow back he would issue the rest of the refund!!!????? At the end they did not even give me the half they offered but said they would have the owner call me back in a WEEK to discuss?! As a business owner I would have done anything and everything to make the situation right then and there, not give the customer an attitude and go back on resolution. Horrific business practices. read more

Cherry Nails used to be a weekly stop for me when I was a student at Holy Cross and went to the other side of Worcester to WPI. I absolutely adore Cherry Nails and that feeling still rings true 3.5 years after my last visit there when I went for a gel manicure. First of all, they have expanded their space so it is roomier and have added more employees. Secondly, the owner somehow still remembered my name and what I used to always get when I was an undergrad-- pink and white nails. Thirdly, they give you a parafin wax treatment as a free part of your manicure which is unheard of! The folks at Cherry Nails do a darn good job and you will leave satisfied and with a smile on your face. Not only are they kind, but they are fast, efficient and excellent! read more

This was my first time at Cherry (or any Worcester nail salon). I was really close by since I go to Becker, but I called first to see if they took AMEX (which they do, yay) and asked about availability for a pink & white fill which they had. Lee was my nail tech, and she did a very nice job. Not chatty with me at all, but I don't care about that. She was nice, and thorough while working. Pretty gentle with her drills which is the kind of tech I need. I usually like the whites to be a bit thinner with more nail bed, and I like the smile lines to be a bit more curved, BUT she did ask me after the first white she sculpted on my pinky, and I said ok. It's just hard to tell with the tiniest finger, but I know for next time. It's nothing fancy here, just your typical small but cozy Vietnamese nail spot. The atmosphere is super casual where the techs chat with each other in Vietnamese & answer their phones, so if you're looking for a Day Spa feel, you probably won't be happy here. My fills cost $35 (not sure what regular price is, but I had 6 weeks of growth with 2 half-lifted nails), and I was able to leave tip on the card. I'll come back again. :) Can't speak for any other services..yet. read more

So I go to the school up the block from here (cough the one on the hill) and if there's any other lady checking this review out, don't worry: it's legit. :) I was a bit hesitant to come into Cherry, even though I'd seen the husband of the owner (or co-owner?) on multiple occasions at my job (my co-worker told me he worked here). But I need a place to get my girls done. The distance is great, and although it's not quite the $20 mani-pedi I'm used to in the BX, it will do. It is awesome! I've done regular paints, french manicures, and gel manicures here. I've done them on a regular Tuesday afternoon before a big presentation, and on a Sunday with a steady flow of customers. They're honest (french mani's DON'T last for long and they knew I'd be back). They know what they're doing, which was critical for the gels. And, as I've seen their connections with regulars, they are very down-to-earth. They even talk about how they like to change the furniture around-- and they have. lol. Stop by! read more

Went to Cherry Nails due to Yelp reviews. They were a bit busy, and called a VERY young lady from the rear of the store who looked like she was still in high school. As I was pressed for time, I decided to give her a chance. Her work was adequate at BEST, but not good, and frankly, I feel like I barely got my $12 worth. I gave her a very nice (30%) tip for doing her best. Don't think I'll be back. read more

I got a full set of acrylics and a pedicure here yesterday and it was a decent experience. They were very busy and short staffed so I did feel a bit rushed and I did not like how they did painted my fingernails while I was getting my pedicure- but they did such an amazing job that it made up for it. Judy is a wonderful nail tech and I would come back any time to see her again. read more

If you have time to spare, they give an EXCELENT spa pedicure (inexpensive too, $25 for regular pedi, $35 for the spa!). Paraffin, hot stone massage, exfoliating scrub the works. Place is very small and rather homely, but the staff are very friendly (been twice) and are attentive. Spent a good deal of time on my pedicure (70-ish minutes if I my approximation is correct) and did a really great job! Was nice and relaxing- just what I was looking for at the time. read more

All in all my experience was just ok. The first thing that surprised me about this place was the run down appearance of the salon. All of the equipment and furniture looked like it was at least ten years old and I was surprised at how dirty the place felt. I'm not sure if it was just old or if it really could have used a good scrub down. Even the nail polishes looked really old, many with no labels or so old they had separated in the jar--just not at all aesthetically pleasing. The service was better than the appearance of the salon. I got the basic pedicure and was happy with how the nail tech did my nails for the most part. There was a lot included in the basic pedicure such as hot stone massage and a leg scrub. At the end I noticed there was a fair amount of nail polish on my skin. All in all, I will not be going back. There are better salons for the same price. read more

This place is really amazing for nails. everyone there is so sweet and their prices are the best in the area. I haven't had a bad experience ever. I haven't had any other services besides acrylic nails, but I'd give them a try if i were to. read more

Every single time I have come here they are inconsiderate of my time. They will make an appointment for me and when I get here I wait over an hour just to get my lashes done. I've tried giving them buissness for months and every time without fail they make me wait past my appointment time causing me to be late to meetings and classes. I don't recommend their business to anyone. Poor social skills and lack of appreciation for clients buissness. read more

After getting my nails done at Creative Nails on park ave and having them do a purely shitty job. I decided to go to Cherry Nails, considering I had been there before. I was seated immediately, and the nail technician was super friendly and did an amazing job on my nails. The best I've ever had. I was so impressed with the quality she give me, I'll definitely be back. read more

Cherry Nails - Super shiney, love them! - Nail Salons Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

They usually do a good job (have had to go back once for bubbling nail polish that refused to dry aka old) at good prices but always running late and generally slow- I consistently call ahead to schedule an appointment at a specific time but it doesn't help - always end up leaving 40mins-1.5hrs later than I should. Writing this while waiting for a wax appt that should've started 30 mins ago. Counter-intuitively, if it's peak time and you happen to walk in before the next person's appointment or there's an open chair for mani/pedi, things move quickly! read more

I had the BEST experience here. I walked in with my friend around 5pm for mani pedis and they took us immediately. My technicians name was Ti and he gave me the most professional, clean, friendly service I have ever had. He spent so much time doing the cuticles on my toes, making sure everything was perfect for me. My favorite part was when he put the hot stones on me and massaged my legs with his fists. I loved it here and it was worth every penny (Only 33$ for a stunning mani pedi). I will definitely be coming back here! read more

I did not expect such a great experience at this salon. The prices were right ($25 for a french fill with two designs -$15 fill $5 french $5 for 2 designs). I was literally laughing with the workers the entire time, they were so funny! Usually when I get my nails done I bring an I pod because I sit there is silence the whole time while the nail person talks to her coworkers. Not at Cherry Nails! The staff was HILARIOUS! Plus one of the guys doing my nails did the Patriots logo on my nails (for the Super Bowl) and it looks awesome! They also did a paraffin hand wax at no extra charge. After the wax they massage lotion into your hands- so relaxing! This is the nail salon I've been looking for in Worcester, and this will now be my "usual" spot! read more

I was in town from Colorado for the summer and couldn't find a good place until Cherry Nails! Love this salon. Great service, amazing leg and foot massage-- w a scrub massage, a warm oil massage, hot stone massage, and cooling gel -- amazing. read more

I would give it zero stars if I could. It smelled literally like poop, So slow, the water for the foot bath was cold, and they punched our legs repeatedly and called it a massage. They cut our feet too as they were careless In giving us the pedicures. My friend finished first and they asked her to move and wait up front... Not for another customer but so one of the workers could sit and play on their cell phone in the pedicure chair next to me! There were two other open seats. awful awful. read more

I tried this place out because one of my friends had recently tried this salon and said it was awesome! Plus it being 5 minutes from my house I figured why not! The first time I came here I was with a friend, she was getting a full set and I was getting a gel polish and pedi... For one I felt EXTREMELY Rushed as they were doing my nails as they were doing my toes. ANYBODY CAN AGREE that half the reason why you get a pedicure is to relax and enjoy yourself, not have both hands preoccupied.. THE BIG RED FLAG FOR ME was how DIRTY this place was.. Being a cosmetologist I am extremely familiar with state board rules and regulation and this salon better hope they never have state board come in... Things are filthy and dusty, back of pedicure chairs have huge stains and empty candy wrappers... They DO NOT have a sterilization area for implements.. When they were using a towel on my feet for my pedicure they put it in the MICROWAVE to warm it up.. But I will say my gel Polish lasted the full 2 weeks so once again I decided to go to this salon at this point because they're open late on Sundays.. This time same thing gel polish and pedi.. My pedi was amazing but my gel Polish was AWFUL. This guy had no idea what he was doing and was huffing and puffing the whole time. 3 days later all of my nails are peeling... I WILL NOT BE BACK TO THIS NAIL SALON! read more

I was in desperate need of a manicure. I'm the type that likes to do it myself, but sometimes you just need a refresher. That being said, I am extremely anal and picky. This place was perfect. I got a gel manicure for $25 and I love it. He took his time and cleaned up my nails to perfection. Very nice people to say the least. I will definitely be coming back here and getting my nails done more often. Thank you! read more

I go here regularly because I go to college within walking distance. Overall, they are great! I do have a few complaints though, but have learned how to work around them. The salon gets incredibly busy sometimes (usually Thursday-Saturday and in the afternoons/evenings like you would expect) and you could wait up to an hour just for a manicure. I don't usually have this problem in the late morning/early afternoon so I go in between classes. The adult women who are always working are talented, helpful, and friendly! They really do a great job. They are awesome at multitasking- they will start working on your fill while you're getting a pedicure so you are out of the salon faster. The prices are really reasonable for the quality of work you get too. However the younger people there tend to be loud and never really seem to be working- mostly just sit in the back and play music on their phones. I am not sure if they are just family or if they are employees, though. Overall it's a great salon. But if you can only go in the evenings and don't wait to wait a long time, you may want to go to a larger and more organized salon. I think they could really benefit from one person who just works at reception and keeps track of who's next in line for what services. read more
