[[HIGHLIGHT]]FINALLY! A place that knows how to do nails!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are looking for short, tips with dip, and want to be in & out within an hour, ask for Abby. She was excellent, and very efficient. Also made sure I liked the nails throughout the process. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been extremely disappointed with some of the nail salon that I've gone to recently, so I will definitely be back to this nail salon as it exceeded my expectations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is also very clean, bright, has TVs, and overall a good ambience. read more

This is for the west broadway location, which i booked online. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly nail technician.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very pleased with the attentive service. read more

Save yourself the pain - literally. I've given this place so many chances, and I'm officially done. I've gotten terrible cuticle infections here twice, bad enough that I had to go to the doctor for prescription medication. Someone else told me they recently ended up in the ER from an infection from here!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The front desk is always rushing the techs, and it shows - they go too fast, cut my cuticles, and I usually leave bleeding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It used to feel worth it for the price, but now the prices keep going up and they upcharge for everything. Last time they charged me $5 extra for a fill because my nails were "too grown out" (they weren't). The place isn't clean - I've seen them reuse tools without disinfecting between clients. They've also filed my nails way too thin multiple times, to the point I felt burning from the drill. My nails were brittle for months and only got healthy again once I stopped coming here. Not worth the money, pain, or risk. Find a salon that actually takes their time and cares about hygiene. read more

Great service at fair prices my nails have never looked better ! I like to support the local businesses. read more

First review I've ever written. Sitting here waiting 30 minutes and counting for a simple polish change. This has happened multiple times. I come here often only because I live very close by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I didn't schedule an appt days in advance as you don't need to but I called 15 minutes before I arrived asking if they'd be available for polish change in 15 mins. Unless it's absolutely jam packed here, they pretty much almost always say yes. And then no tech is near done and they just have you sit there and wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I knew this was gonna happen again and I should've just left after waiting 10 minutes but I always feel awkward/rude. I always say it's my last time coming here every single time. Save yourself the energy and go literally anywhere else in Southie there's so many left and right. read more

Worst manicure ever [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tony is so rude .. he wasn't even paying attention to what he was doing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nails look awful read more

I'm so shocked to see these other reviews! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been coming here intermittently for over the past 5 years, and can always count on a very very good experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I consider myself to be extremely picky with nail salons.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I remember specifically coming to D Luxe after another salon butchered a set of acrylic nails a few years ago, and they didn't even charge me... highly highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very convenient spot and appointments are easy to come by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Facilities are generally clean and technicians are genuinely kind. Here is the kicker - it is a 50/50 shot of a good manicure. Have gone 10-12 times and can never anticipate what I will walk out with. Last straw for me was when my friend's nails cracked in half after a dip appointment. All I can say is YIKES to the actual nail service. read more

Do NOT go to Dew Luxe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Today, I booked a pedicure 2 hours in advance and when I got there I had to wait another 45 minutes for them to even start.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But the whole time they kept saying "someone will be right with you" or "5 more minutes" until 45 minutes went by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And only when I finally got up to leave, someone came over. Then they made me leave before my toes were dry to let someone else use the drier. By the time I walked home (5 minute walk) all the nail polish had rubbed off because it was still wet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went back and asked them to fix it and they went through the whole "5 more minutes thing" AGAIN![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So, after waiting ANOTHER 25 minutes for another nail tech that was never coming, I asked for a refund.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And then they said they don't give refunds!! So after all that, I left with no nail polish and a waste of 2 hours. Oh and I also lost $50. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Management is so rude, they are overseeing this entire operation where they overbook appointments, provide terrible service and then refuse refunds.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Go to one of the other 20 nail salons in Southie if you can. read more

Just not a nail's person.Nice service but you are almost expected to spend a lot of money for pedicure and manicure with polish.

I had heard so many great things about this salon and was really looking forward to treating myself. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to the hype at all. To start, I booked a pedicure expecting a relaxing atmosphere, but the massage chairs were broken. While that's not the end of the world, it's a key part of the pedicure experience and felt unprofessional--especially since no one mentioned it beforehand. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Next, I went in for a Gel-X French manicure. I made it very clear to the woman at the front desk that I wanted French nails and even offered to choose another style if that wasn't something they could do. I was reassured it wouldn't be a problem.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I sat down with my nail tech, I once again explained that I wanted French nails and even showed him a photo. He said "okay" and got started--but once he got to the tips, it became obvious he couldn't actually do them. Rather than letting me know upfront or asking if I wanted something else, he attempted it anyway. I ended up asking him to just remove the tips and leave the base color because I was so unhappy with how they looked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, I was really disappointed. I felt misled and left with a service I didn't want. I won't be coming back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner/manager here is SO rude. She has such an attitude and makes you wait like 30 mins even if you have an appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She bosses the customers around as if they are not the ones paying for a service. It is no way to run a business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not to mention, some of the techs are extremely aggressive. I had Van and left with multiple cuticles bleeding and raw. It was painful and I wasn't even happy with the final result. Apparently its the same ownership as the West Broadway location but they are much nicer there. read more

I needed a builder gel fill and while she took a lot of care in placing of the gel and i appreciated that. It still ended up sooo thick and my two thumbs look completely different as do all of my other fingers but I'd been sitting there (uncomfortably---worst chairs ever no lumbar support) that i didn't say anything bc I needed to leave. Also the base they use for builder gel is SO pigmented that my normal color "baby take a vow" looks wrong .(Also the builder gel plus 3 tip extensions((nails broke)) took 1.45 hours and was $75 just for curiosity) read more

I had Kim who did my dip manicure and regular pedicure. I kept saying ouch because she was filing/buffing very aggressively but she didn't stop or care. The next day this is what my finger looks like. I've had a couple scratches from manicures in the past but never something like this. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not happy at all and honestly painful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Went in for a nails appt. I got passed around between 3 people who all did not know how to do a French mani and then finally had to wait 30mins for a 4th person to finish my nails. [[HIGHLIGHT]]By the time someone was available, it was past closing time and I was the only one left in the establishment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A lot of wasted time later, I walked out with a very mediocre manicure, bleeding hands, and still got charged a full bill despite the incompetence. read more

I called after 4 days to inform this business about the crappy job that was done because the dip is already chipping. Whoever answered said they couldn't understand me so I slowed down my speak and talked very clearly and he proceeded to have an attitude when I repeated yet again my name, when my appointment was and what had happened. He still kept repeating the wrong information back and I again tried to correct him and with an attitude told me to lose my attitude. I was trying to give them a chance to correct their mistake and not go public but DO NOT waste your money seeing how they do not use quality product and have low customer service skills. read more

If I could leave a 0 I would. So rude to me from the second I walked in even tho I had an appt. I didn't like the first color I picked when I asked for just a light pink she pointed at the wall and told me "go" which was very rude. My gel was still kind of opaque after two coats when I asked for the third, the woman just looked at me, shook her head, held up the number 3 and said she already did three. Obviously she had not and didn't bother what I wanted. Plenty of better places in Southie. DO NOT GO read more

I love this place so much I wish it was closer!!! I have had both the Gel X and basic gel mani and both times the nails lasted longer than any other mani I've ever had!! I am really rough on my nails and the Gel X lasted 3 weeks (could've done more but they grew out) and the regular gel lasted a week and a half before starting to chip. I am by no means a nail salon connoisseur but I think that the prices for this salon, especially Gel X can't be beat, especially given other Boston area nail salon prices. read more

Judge for yourself based on attached photo. Nails got worse within hours of leaving salon, as there were gaps between my natural nail and artificial tip that separated more the second I washed my hands. Don't waste your time or money. read more

D Luxe Nail Bar - Uneven lengths, oval (asked for almond), thick, and the tips are separating from my natural nails and it's been less than 24 hours. - Nail Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The first time I went, I was blown away. The best looking nails I had ever had. I assumed that everyone at the salon had the same expertise. Today, that was not the case. Not only did his drill bit make four of my finger's cuticles bleed, but he also made the dip nails thick and crooked. Several times I pointed out that they were aesthetically inconsistent, and he reassured me he would fix it. Now -- at home -- I have ample time to evaluate them and they are an expensive disappointment. I respect that this is a business; however, when the priority is flipping chairs for new customers instead of the quality of the service, it makes you think twice about returning. Should you go, request Amy. I had her the first time and she is very patient and talented. I hope this is an anomaly. read more

I have had my nails done here at least a dozen times, but will not be returning. The result is usually good, but the customer service is lacking. My last several visits, I have called and made an appointment and despite arriving at the agreed upon appointment time, have had to wait 30-45 minutes to get my nails done. My most recent appointment, after 40 minutes passed from my appointment time for a regular manicure, I was seated in a pedicure chair. My manicure was done there, with the bowl of water for my nails to soak in placed in my lap and me leaning to one side so she could do both hands. My nails are extremely short and understand that can be a bit difficult, but my nail tech didn't even bother to even them out, which is all I asked for. I understand things happen and business gets busy, but I've never once received an apology and a, "Sorry for the wait, we'll get you in as soon as we can," would go a long way. Honestly, they should stop taking appointments altogether if they won't honor them. I'd rather not have my nails done at all than return here. read more

D Luxe Nail Bar - Gel Manicure - day 17! - Nail Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

So inconsistent. Used to only come here and trust this place. You never know if you're going to get a really great manicure or have it look like it's their first time. If it's the latter, they're pretty rude when you ask to have it fixed. I hate to ask for a fix or complain, but it's expensive so sometimes you have to. They have great color options so I'm disappointed! When they're good, they're really good! read more

I've been to this salon for manicures a handful of times and I have had to wait over an hour past my appointment time almost every single time. None of the staff apologizes and never thank clients for their patience. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time here. read more

This review is solely based on my experiences with two services: dip powder manicures and pedicure. There are not many nail salons in the Boston area that offer dip powder. I previously went to a different salon that had subpar quality compared to what I've received at D Luxe Nail Bar and I am so glad I found this place. The color selection here is good, though I wish there were a bit more variations of greens and blues - but that is solely based on personal preference. Ruby does an amazing job at dip powder application. It is not super thick, and not lumpy which I appreciate. She also does not overdo it with the soft drill. Again, I'm appreciative of this. My dip powder manicures have lasted 3-4 weeks since coming to D Luxe Nail Bar, and everyone is astonished at the length of my natural nails. Pedicures have a bunch of different options to choose from, and are good. It is Southie, so parking can be tricky at peak times. Be sure to call and make an appointment as Ruby can be busy. Since Ruby is the only person (I believe) in the salon that does dip powder, your appointment may start a few minutes late but their customer service is good. Will continue to bring my services here. read more

Worst pedicure of my life - they had me wait for 45 minutes from my appointment start and then didn't scrub my feet whatsoever. So disappointed.. so many other places in the area I wish I went to read more

D Luxe Nail Bar - I sat there for 45 minutes and then they rushed through my pedicure and didn't scrub my feet at all despite me asking twice - Nail Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I keep trying to give this place a chance, but think this is my last go here. First off, every time I go I make an appointment so I don't have to wait and every time I wait. This week I made an appointment for 6:15 and when I showed up there was a wait about 5 people deep. I waited about 20 mins until they sat me down I one of the foot spas. I then waited another 25 mins until one of the girls came to do my pedicure. Why make an appointment when you then have to wait 45 minutes to see someone...seems a little ridiculous to me. Here is the second reason why I'm done with this place. I always get a gel manicure and the gel never makes it past the 3rd day. Meanwhile any other place the gel last at least 2-3 weeks. Not sure why this is, but my gel literally peels off in just days (see attached photo on the third day). They do fix it for free, but who has 45 mins to wait to get your nail repainted when it should have been done right in the first place?! And in my case, I'm now out of the country and have a chipped nail that I can do nothing about for the next week. The reason why I do keep going back is because the ambiance is nice, spa like, unlike the rest of the nail places in Southie. The girls working there are nice and do take their time while doing the pedicures and manicures, however the wait time and the fact they don't last is not worth the money or experience. They should really fix this as there are so many other places to choose from that do a better job for way less money. I've given them way too many chances in my book! read more

To start off I just moved here from California and it's hard finding a new nail salon you can go and trust. With that said I had seen all the great reviews this place had and I saw all the pictures posted; thought to myself "THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE". Since I always have elaborate designs on my nails. With that said. I had an appointment at 5 and didn't get seated until I want to say about 5:15 (typical for most nails salons. Not an issue) but when I had asked her if she could do the design I showed her on the picture( which I'll attach). She didn't have the powder but to chose two powders that looked similar. So I did. Thinking this was going to be a traditional ombré acrylic. When she was doing my nails she seemed rushed and when buffing my nails had hit my cuticle and skin multiple times, burning and hurting my fingers. Also she had cut my pinky while cutting away at the cuticle. Correction so I don't pose as a liar: I was there for two hours but the work felt rushed since she had backed up clients waiting for her. Then came the worst part. Was when she actually did the ombré she just dusted powder of the nails and gone over it with polish and at first it did look like an ombré effect. So at the end my nails look like candy corn. REALLY NOT HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT. Then when it came time to pay I was charged for the refill, THE REPLACEMENT NAILS for the ones that had lifted really bad which i have never seen at any nail salon, and the use of the two powders. I'm sorry but back home in California I would pay 60 dollars for elaborate nails with gems and crystals and get a much much better job. Why couldn't the nail tech be honest with me and say she really couldn't do it? I would not have been upset or anything if I had to do something different and not what I wanted. That's what the nail tech is for. To help and guid the customer on what is possible to do. I will not be returning to this salon. I'm not discouraging others. Just ask and make sure you get what you want and pay for a quality job. P.S. it's takes a little longer than an hour if you try to book an appointment through Yelp read more

Total scammers!! My daughter went today for a French dip, which says $50 on their menu. She was charged $74!!! No dip manicure that I've ever heard of is that expensive! We asked and they got very nasty about it, they should have told us the price if it's different from the menu!!! read more

Came here for the first time as a walk in. They have an extensive color selection for regular, gel, and dip services. Their techs do their job well, and when I was torn on what color to get, I showed my tech a pic on my phone, and he immediately suggested a color that was exactly what I was looking for. The inside is super chic and clean, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I want my nails done in southie! read more

My friend recommended I try here and I'm so glad I did! Been going ever since and My dip lasts much longer than other local salons. Usually looks fresh for well over 3 weeks and the growth is always the reason I go in to get a new manicure (nails always look great still)! It can take a bit of time to be seen even with an appointment but it's worth it for the quality and I appreciate being seen the same day! read more

I am a D Luxe convert! I have only been to D Luxe 3 times (2 manicures and 1 pedicure) but I am loving them! They are always professional and accommodating. The salon is clean and adorable. I can't recommend Ruby, Tiffanie or Tina enough! They are so personable and they make everyone feel welcome! I felt bad because I kept changing my mind during my last appointment but they never once made me feel like I was being a nuisance. They accommodated every request without hesitation. My nails always look amazing and last almost a month! If it is your first time definitely go all out and get the signature pedicure. You won't regret it! I can't wait for my next appointment. read more

I went to the salon on Wednesday and got dip with tip! Later that day I realized that the tips were not connected to 3 of my nails and went back! They tried to just glue it down and said not much else they could do. Well now it's Saturday 3 days later and 2 nails have come off! Least to say I'm pissed! Update: The owner contacted me and I went back and got my nails fixed! They were super nice about it, not upset with my complaint. read more

I was getting gel on my nails for years before going to D Luxe. I live in Southie so it's super convenient! I went in wanting to try Dip powder. My technician was Vi and she has changed my life!! I go every 4 weeks (sometimes longer) and my hands are constantly in gloves, working with products and in water. She has exceeded my expectations for shape and I've never gotten more compliments on my nails, EVER. The salon is super clean and cute. All the technicians are helpful and greet you when you walk in. They've always been able to accommodate my appointment times and are respectful of my time. So happy I found this amazing place!!! read more
