This is my go-to for years. Julie does a fantastic Job. The entire staff is amazing. My mom has cancer and Parkinsons, Julie does everything in her power to make my mom comfortable and welcomed. I love this nail salon. Quality work Quality people read more

COVID RATING- I'll give it 2 stars: the manager was not wearing her mask and would walk around the salon without the mask. She would only put a mask on when working with a customer and would not sanitize. The other 2 women were wearing masks. Also, rules were not really enforced with people coming in and out. Nail experience (4 stars): I appreciated the amount of time they took on my nails. There's not a lot of nail color options. Staff are friendly. I would return after COVID. Didn't feel so comfortable being in there for so long. read more

This place is such a hidden gem. Julie was absolutely amazing and took my reference photo and with a lot of patience made the most beautiful nails !! Highly recommend !! read more

Designer Nail Salon - Really bad photo taken but even better in person. !! :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

I came here just to try a new place and I've been very pleased. I'm not sure if this place is under new management because the people I'm reading about are not there. It's always 2 girls. I get a pedicure and a gel manicure usually. They always come out perfect and I'm very picky. The girl that did them (I think her name is skyler) takes her time and is a perfectionist. Especially with white polish. I know it can be harder. This is definitely my new go to. read more

Designer Nail Salon - Gel mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

There where two workers sitting and the owner asks what my (7.o) daughter needs done. I needed a pedicure and she needed a polish change. She asked if we had appts and I told her no, I called yesterday and was told walk ins welcome. She didn't say anything other than "well I have a 1pm client". Okay, but you have two other workers?? What are they doing? I WILL NEVER BE BACK and WILL NOT RECOMMEND! read more

I live in the neighborhood and like to support neighborhood businesses. Filled out a request for an appointment on the website 2 weeks ahead and no one ever contacted me to schedule. Finally called and specifically asked for Julie for a gel manicure and pedicure (she answered the phone). Went to my appointment and was taken by another manicurist for my pedicure. Julie came in, dropped something off and then left without saying anything about my appointment with her. Ended up having both services with someone I did not request. Have now had to go back for chips in my nails x 2 only after 2 days. Today went for another redo and was asked to come back tomorrow that they were too busy. I shouldn't have to pay to get them fixed, but I am going to because I am not going back there. Terrible customer service and quality of manicure by my technician poor. read more

I called around 2pm and was able to drive right over for a shellac manicure. The process was meticulous and the man who did my nails was kind and asked me questions about myself. I was the only customer there which was sort of nice compared to other salons that can be loud or crammed with clients. My nails were done in about 1 hour and I am very, very satisfied with the service I was provided for 25 dollars! I will definitely be back! read more

Although the ladies are very nice, I'm really disappointed with my latest experience! 1. My acrylic nails look awful. She didn't clean my real nails and just added to it. 2. It's been 3 days and the polish is starting to chip off. 3. She was the only one trying to take care of two customers at the same time! 4. Being in a rush caused for her to cut me in two different fingers when filing! My nails still hurt with the cuts 5. The polish under my nails are chipped and look like my 5 year old niece did them. Really disappointed! read more

I'm definitely not satisfied and suggest going to another salon. For starters, the lady doing my bad nail job was sick. She was coughing multiple times and was coughing up phlegm. She was nice, but should be home healing, not potentially spreading illness. She also used the automatic file SO much ( 4-5 times). I'm surprised I still have nails at all. And it burned me a few times. Very uncomfortable and nowhere else has ever done it that much. Then, the color I thought I picked out is not what it actually became on my nails. It looked like a pretty bright yellow and turned out to be a mustard color.... Not happy. And the nail job has a few minor flaws too. The only good thing is that they are nice people and that it was only $55 for a dip removal and getting a new dip. read more

Took my mom there for a mani and pedi both Julie and Tina are very nice. They did a great job love my nails. Will definitely come back. read more

These salons needs to stop saying yes every time you call and ask for an appointment. I had a 4:00 appointment. They were slammed. Only three girls working. 4:30 I decided to leave, while they continued to answer the phone and tell people they could come in in 15 minutes. read more

Under new management as of last spring. The owner is absolutely amazing, I get acrylics done every 3 weeks and this is my go to spot. Best in the area by far. read more

I love this place! I had the best pedicure I was so relaxed. They also pay such attention to detail to make sure everything looked perfect

They have a 10% off deal right now so pedicure and gel was under $50. There was three people working tonight. My nails were done by the man and my feet by the young woman. The both took such time and care, I didn't feel rushed at all. They made sure I was comfortable every step of the way and really paid attention to detail. My nails are perfect. I highly recommend this place! Clean, professional and friendly! read more

City Nails. Whenever I see this sign, I can't help but think of "City Wok," the Chinese restaurant on "South Park," and I mentally imagine the owner character saying "Hurro, welcome to Shitty Nails!" Am I alone here? The beat-up sign and dingy outside appearance aren't the sexiest things in the world, but they belie a neat, clean interior! I don't go to nail salons often, but you know some of them that have that terrible chemical fume-smell? Yeah, This place does not have that. Also: MASSAGE CHAIRS! A very nice touch. When all was said and done, I left with soft feet and newly polished toes, all for a respectable $23. read more

Overall, my nails look pretty but the polish isn't applied evenly on the edges, it hasn't been applied to full opacity, and the corners of my nails have been left filed un-smooth. The price is very fitting for the experience and service. read more

This place is amazing. I used to go to Julies Nails in Davis Sq. for a reasonable mani-pedi...but City Nails is SO much better. First of all, the place is brand new, including the massaging chairs. And, it looks much more spa-like that your run-of-the-mill strip mall nail salon. I think the name of the lady that did my mani/pedi was Lily, and she was great. She was sweet, careful and precise and I ended up getting one of the best mani/pedis I've ever had (including from higher priced salons)... all for $28! Oh, and a huge bonus: all the magazines in the place were new and up to date, not torn to shreds like a lot of other places I've been. If you're in the area, I'd really encourage you to give this place a try. Its a local business and they're just getting started, but the quality is so much better than a lot of the old stand-bys. read more

This place is great for a quickie mani/pedi. They have great colors, and they do a good, sometimes really good job. The thing I like the most about this place is that they always have the BEST colors to choose from. A whole wall of OPI AND China Glaze which I love, lots of bright, funky colors. What I don't like about this place is that I would say 4 out of 5 times I have been there, they rush, and it's obvious they rush. They'll take you and then leave you sitting with your feet in lukewarm water for 15 minutes while they take someone else and rush through their manicure. When they finally get to you, it's obvious they are rushing through your service as well just to get to the next person. If you don't have time to take me, tell me to come back at a certain time. I don't mind that. But don't charge me $25 for a 1/2 hour pedicure and give me a 2 second foot/leg massage. If the pedis were like $5 cheaper I wouldn't mind so much, but I can go up the street and for an extra $10 get an awesome, luxurious pedicure where I don't feel like they are rushing me out of the place. So, to sum up, if you just want a no nonsense pedi in a short amount of time with a fun color, this place is for you. If you want to feel pampered, it's not. read more

City nails is my go-to for a quality inexpensive mani/pedi. The place is small though, so sometimes you have to wait a while for a chair to open up. But during the week, it's not too bad. The weekends you may have to make a reservation. read more

I came here for the past few months for gel manicures and they are always very nice and did a great job, until last time my cuticle got cut very badly. I asked them to stop and they continued to cut. I was bleeding and they didn't have a first aid kit to help my cut. Now my finger is infected, swollen and and painful and I have to go on antibiotics. Sadly I will not be returning. read more

Went here because my usual place was too busy. The only word I have to describe my manicure is mediocre... I noticed afterwards a couple of spots missing paint towards the end of my nail, and substantial cracks in 2 other nails, not to mention polish all over my fingers. But the manicure itself was fine minus the polish job and the lady was super nice. I just don't think I will ever go back. read more

I booked an appointment today and their store was closed. This is now the second time that this has happened. I wasn't contacted or anything before today to be aware of this closing. This is very unprofessional and a bit rude considering how the lady knows I have to take public transportation to get there and the place isn't even open. read more

The nail lady literally charged u for everything cut,shapes, like I don't mind spending money it's ridiculous at this place she give everyone different prices since she doesn't have one up to check. I went there for a refill she charges me 33$ when I got the full sent the price was 39$ for my hand and feet I'm not going back there anymore read more

Ok, from the outside, this place looks less than inviting, but this is an awesome spot to get a great mani pedi for a decent price. The people that work here are very nice and do such a careful job. I will definitely be back. The one thing that needs to go is the infomercials playing on the TV... read more

This place is really great!!!!!! I have been going here for as long as I can remember and my friends and I have a great time when we go.... The service is really great and I have known the people for a while now... If you're bored and have nothing to do and you happen to drive by you can easily just park and walk on in... They get you going right away... One time they even offered us pizza they had bought for themselves.. It was so kind and thoughtful.. I love their work.. They always try to do there best but i must admit that on some occasions they we in a rush and my nails didn't come out exactly the way i wanted them too.. But I must say they know how to pamper you... With their massage chairs and all brand new equipment you feel so clean and relaxed. I only go there for my nails and feet though... I had gone there to wax my brows once and they were not the way I really wanted them... Although they have theirs cons I am going to say that their pros outweigh them and I proudly suggest that many new people should go on in and give them a try. I know i did and i have been going there ever since. thanks for reading friends.. hope this helped read more

Used to love it there..heaven help ya if they start to get busy while it's your pedi they will speed up your toes to clear that seat.Emily was nice but then slowly it got really bad...went there for a good 4 or 5 yrs....but once she started bringing random people to work with her the nails came out sloppy...you begin to feel more of an inconvience than a paying customer....i don't like bouncing around for mani and pedi but after several chances....shes hell bent on giving other people chances to poop on your nails....no thanx I go elsewhere now a little more money but well worth it. My gell nailpolish lasts forever at this new place but at city nails gels lift up in a week and just overall sloppy...never went back read more

Very rude n insulting to my wife.they said some durogitory remarks about her weight.n didn't want to due her nails.she will never go back.

Been back a few times and have seen Emily and Tanya and they are wonderful! They always are pleasant and do a great job. I don't tend to get color polish on my toes, would rather just TLC and relax. I don't have patience to wait for them to dry. They even use hot stones and warm towels in the massage. I love City Nails and I love that it is walkable from my house. read more

The ladies there are so cute. It was my birthday so I decided to go on my handy dandy yelp app to search for a nail salon around the area. I got a gel manicure and I really love wine-colored nails in the winter, so I asked her to suggest something along that color. Turned out perfect, I should've taken a pic! I also tend to cut my nails shorter then usual because I hate having long nails, but the lady that did my nails suggested that I leave em a tad longer so the manicure could last longer. Makes sense! Nobody ever told me that. Overall great place, got the gels for $25 plus tip. Beware though, there is only metered parking outside! read more

This place exceeded my expectations. I moved to the neighborhood recently and used to go to a far more expensive salon. As others on here have noted - they take their time, are kind, and the place/tools are clean. They make an effort to have a conversation with you and seem like great people. Don't come here if you want a beautiful atmosphere...but if you're looking for good service at a reasonable price - this is the place. I'll be back. read more

Finally, I've found my go-to salon in the area! New Essie polish selection, professional and efficient service and great location. Phew! Finally. read more

I came here on a Friday night with a friend for a mani and pedi. We loved this place! The two women who did our nails were great, they did a beautiful job. Nice polish selection too. The only reason for 4 stars is because there are only 3 pedi chairs and I think it's just these two women working there, so definitely call ahead or else you'll have to wait. That being said, these ladies serve to please! read more

Staff is very friendly and helpful. I got a wax and it didn't seem very thorough . I still had lots of hair I could just spot by eye. As far and mani pedis they do an awesome job! read more

I have been here a couple times since the grand opening , love it! She really knows what she's doing.. very professional!

Theres two ladies that are usually here. One is the owner, the other is a cousin.the owner is great, she help you with color, and does a great mani pedi and eyebrows! I had her 3 times that I came to do my mani and pedi and eyebrows. So, one day I go there and only her ousin is there. I go for my regular bur decide to get a full set. I told her full set but imsteadi get a manicure. Than my eyebrows werent done well at all. There were stray hhairs evrrywhere. I had to fix it when I got home.. At least, the pedicure was ok for a couple weeks. left and felt like I had wasted my 50 $. Never coming here again because of this lady. read more

I love City Nails Spa. I came here on a Sunday when my regular nail person stood me up. I needed somewhere local that was open on a Sunday in August, so hard to find. On a friends recommendation I gave it a try. It is without a doubt the cleanest shop I have ever been to. The decor is very nice, the chairs comfortable and the polishes are great. She had all the new colors from OPI and Essie. I needed a new acrylic toe nail put on and after 10 yrs of getting them, I finally have one that looks real. I really do love this shop. Everyone should give it a try. read more

I think this is under new management so not sure that the name is the same. Manicure was just ok. Cuticles came out raggedy and I had to ask specifically to clean under my nail. Disappointing but inexpensive. read more

Place was great!! Except the crazy red headed lady who came in and tried to verbally attack my mother but I wasn't letting it happen so she wanted to fight me. Medford is a great city I've lived here my whole life but it's low life crackheads like her who make Medford look shitty! read more

Got my nails done here several times. They're rude, unprofessional, and they just suck. I got a full set once and I woke up the next day with my finger swollen. I also tried getting a polish change on the day of my prom and it typically takes 10min for a polish change it's nothing toi major and she tells me there's a wait. I asked her how long would I be waiting for and she replies "too long", rolls her eyes and walks away. How rude! read more

What I like to do is gett my pedicures at Nails and Co (Station Landing) because it is well worth the extra $10 to get an AMAZZZING massage/relaxation for 45 minutes. I will get my manicures done here because I don't care about a hand massage and I tend to get a little ADD when getting a manicure, plus its super cheap! read more
