I love this place. The people are so nice and friendly and they are very accommodating and I love the massage after. Will recommend anyone to go there for their nails. The prices are fair read more

I have been coming to this place for around 4 months. I like the services they provide with my gel mani and spa pedi. The spa pedi includes a 20 minute reflexology option that I always enjoy. The gel mani included a quick shoulder massage and a paraffin hand treatment. It's a little pricier than other places but the extras are worth it. Great customer service and a modern playlist make this a really nice experience. read more

There's no better cure than a good pedicure after a rough couple of weeks! We were quarantined for my birthday and work has been stressful. To make it up to me, my husband offered to send me to get a pedi. I finally got to go today (3 weeks later) and decided to try the salon that I've driven by every day for 3 years. I'm so happy I did. I got a basic white polish because it's one of my favorite looks for a pedi. The gentleman doing my pedicure was amazing. The shop was quiet for a Saturday but I'm very okay with that. He had great attention to detail and a very steady hand. Not to mention he gave a 5 start leg and foot massage -it feels like all my stress left my body! The basic pedicure was accompanied by a hot stone massage and the usual hot towel (both at the perfect temperatures, which i appreciate because other salons have burned me). Their prices are also extremely reasonable, considering the rising cost of everything today I was pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately my husband doesn't realize the Pandora's box he just opened lol. I can walk here from home! I'll definitely be back read more

Golden Nail & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

This is a no frills, basic salon but it is clean and the male nail tech that did my pedicure was very nice and did a great job on my pedicure. read more

Pedicure was delightful, I hadn't had one in approximately 8 million years so I sprung for the fancy $40 one with hot stone massage and whatnot (they have cheaper). They don't skimp on the foot rubs either, yay! I got sucked into getting a shellac manicure - probably the best one I've gotten ever. It lasted AND they actually did a legit manicure, not just file the nails and paint the stuff on. (Other places do that and it pisses me off: $25 on a manicure, can we get some lotion please? Especially when the UV lights dry the hell out of my hands.) I don't bother with manicures often, but when I do, they're shellac so they last - and this place has earned my fandom. The salon itself is clean and doesn't hit you in the face with acrylic nail stench, which is what annoys me about nail salons. read more

Definitely fair priced and very welcoming. They are thorough and won't overcharge you. Also they keep the place very cool which is nice on a hot summer day. read more

They are very racist......I am black and i was out in the area and broke a nail. I walked in to get it fixed the salon was empty. No customers but 2workers (lady & guy). I said hello can i get a nail repaired. She said no... I thought i was hearing things i said ....why cant u repair a nail.....she said i have an appt at 5:30. It was 5:15. To repair a nail it takes all of 7 or 8 mins. And mind u there was 2 workers there. I felt totally humiliated. But i left with no fuss. I went to my car and waited till 5:30 & only one person went into the salon. Totally horrible customer service I wasnt spending enough to get serviced i guess. I had just full set done a week earlier & had just broke one and didnt want to go all the way to another town for a nail repair. So sad people are so mean. read more

I love this nail salon! Courteous people & a family-owned business. Prices are excellent and my gel manicures are always done perfectly. I am a regular here and hope to be for many more years. Thank you! read more

I am not one to complain but I got a full set there and not only was there 3 hours for a set and a pedi but by the time she did my nails she rushed ! All glue under my nails, she never buffed it out from underneath! All uneven! And acrylic too wide on some nails ! I'm so disappointed I had to pay 55.00 for this and to be so dissatisfied! When I get home from vacation I'm going there for a refund ! I didn't have time to go back since we left that night my nails were done ! read more

Great place for a Sunday pedi. They did a great job (awesome massage, too!), and were open on Sunday! Recommend for sure.

The quality of service is not bad. But there pricing is crazy. I was charge three different prices for the same exact thing. Then upon calling to make an appt. I was asked do you want your nails cut? Extra charge...take off nails...extra charge... I get the whole making a buck thing but com'on. Nickel and diming ppl for every service, services that should be included in a manicure is ridiculous. Going to 3D Nail now. read more

I used to get my nails done all the time - crazy colors and lengths were my specialty. Unfortunately I don't have 2 hours every two weeks to spend in the salon, and about 2 years ago I took them off and hadn't stepped in a nail salon since. You can imagine just how badly I needed a pedicure. One Saturday afternoon I decided I had enough willpower to ONLY get the pedicure and not be swayed into putting on the acrylics I miss so badly. I didn't want to deal with my old nail salon being that it's in the Waterbury mall, and it was a Saturday afternoon. I found this place due to some Yelp reviews (and literally drove right past it on my first attempt to find it) and gave it a shot. It's your typical no frills nail salon. Pedicure chairs are decent (though the one I was sat in didn't have the back massaging feature) and it seemed like they were doing more of those than anything else. The woman who did my pedicure commented on how bad I needed one (sorry again!) and she did a really good job. I'd go back for another pedicure. Reasonably priced, not in the mall, and an overall good job. read more

This is a brand new business that is family owned and operated and is currently offering rock bottom prices for their excellent services! I recently went in and got a gel manicure, eyebrow and upper lip waxing all for only $37 including taxes- that is amazing! They are offering grand opening specials and discounts through January 30th 2014 so go on in and take advantage. The manicure was great and she really took her time with me, and she was obviously an expert waxer- fast, efficient, meticulous. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

I am so glad I found this place!!! The pedicures are amazing....callous removal is standard procedure and you will not get slammed with an extra charge. Love, love, love, will definitely be back! Also, open on a Sunday is a HUGE plus! read more

I went and got a manicure and pedicure today. Completely disappointed with both of them. I could have done a better job with my eyes shut.

Nice place nice people. They usually only have two nail techs there at a time so if it's busy, you'll be there a bit. But my nails always look good and it's a nice relaxing time. Their shoulder massages are very nice too! My usual go to nail spot in Naugatuck. read more

I love this place! This is by far one of my favorite nail salons and it is right down the road from me! They are reasonably priced, basic pedicure is competitive with any other nail salon. I recommend upgrading to a spa or jelly pedi, I have been to sooo many nail places for Pedi's, upgrade to spa and sometimes its ok and sometimes disappointing, never disappointed at Golden! For a good price, they go the extra mile and it feels amazing. The jelly pedi is so relaxing and rejuvenating for a great price!! So if you like the high end pedicures but want the salon on the corner price, this is your place! Also, some places you go to that are lower price tend to be Asians who don't really speak English and chatter to each other while rushing you thru, not relaxing at all. This place is run and owned by a very clear English speaking Asian lady who takes pride in how her business is run. She overlooks her employees and socializes with clients to make sure they are happy. I have been a number of times and have even brought my visiting best friend, who wants to go back. I plan on this being my regular pedicure spot for all summer and plan to book my wedding party there for mani/Pedi's in the fall!! Can't wait!!! read more

This is my new favorite nail salon! I went in for a pedicure and shellac manicure and had a fantastic experience. The pedicure was so relaxing and the manicure came out pretty good. Their prices are fantastic! Shellac mani and pedicure for $50 + tip! My only little complaint was about the color which could have used a 3rd coat but I didn't speak up, so it's my own fault. I still love the color and I'm sure a 3rd coat would have been no problem. The owner was super accommodating and everyone there is personable and tries to have conversations with you, which is a nice change of pace. read more

I haven't had nails in years because I had a bad experience. This place is horrible!!! I got hombre pink and white. The Acrylic was very thick and bumpy. I was happy to find a place close to my job . So like an idiot I go back for a fill. I lost two nails in two weeks. She asked me what I did to the nails! Lmao. Wat ever. So I noticed a small brown spot on my nail and asked the nail tech . She said it was dirty. The one nail that was broken but still attached she removed with a broken gift card!! Yes she pried the nail off with a gift card cut in half!!! And when she was done (2hrs later ) a man starts massaging my neck without my permission! My nails sucked! Those people sucked! I felt like standing outside with a sign!!! read more

Nails done. That's about it. Overwhelming acetone smell, dusty countertops and dirty drill bits. My nail tech stopped to pick residue out of her drill bits with a pen. Not impressed with the cleanliness of the entire place. Fairly inexpensive. read more

So glad I walked into this hidden diamond today. The place is so clean and the customer service is awesome! My nails came out just like I wanted them to and I left here relaxed and feeling good about myself :) Will be my one and only nail spot for sure read more

Decided on a Sunday spur of the moment to get mani/pedi. Walked in and sat right down. Very friendly staff and great massage chairs! Fingers & toes look great. They also do a little hand & foot massage. Reasonably priced. Will definitely be back! read more

First things first - look at the pictures the other reviewers post of how they LOVE the end result of their visit. Is it just me?! they all look crazy thick and ridiculous. Is this a new style? I really should've looked more closely when I was trying to find a new nail spot. I'm local to Naugatuck and decided to try this place. With all the high reviews, who wouldn't? Initial observations - no appointment, taken right away, limited color selection, nearly no options for the weekly mani colors, everyone was very pleasant and engaging, polish display is very rag tag - just thrown together and unprofessional, sanitizing units are really just used to "store" the packaged tools - weird), pedicure chairs are older but highly adjustable forward/backward/recline etc. My first visit was for a manicure (no color) with a pedicure - total was $35 not including tax, totally reasonable. The pedicure was great in that there was quite a bit of care taken to careful callus and cuticle removal. I was impressed by the amount of attention and time on this - but maybe it was because my feet were in bad shape? Woman stopped over to say hi, mostly because the young lady assigned didn't speak much English, and told me I can avoid an ingrown toenail by cutting the sides at an angle... I respectfully replied that this actually encourages an ingrown nail (maybe it's just in my case?) and asked that they be trimmed straight across. All in all I left satisfied with the service and planned to return - specifically due to the nail tech alone, she was great and I tipped her well for her efforts. I decided to return 2 weeks later (with the same nail tech) and asked for the mani/pedi again - but the difference this time: I asked for color the mani. Now - this is what prompted my review... Pedicure went as expected and the mani portion was also satisfying. Once we were ready to apply color, things got uncomfortable. Couple of notes - I brought my own Essie color this time because they don't have a lot of selection and I noticed quite a bit of "thinning" of bottles during my last visit - their paints are old, half or nearly a quarter left in most so it makes it hard to apply evenly. My bottle was brand new, unused and I could tell the woman was having a hard time with it on my toes - way thinner and more fluid than those she was used to, which meant a lot of clean up throughout the service. During the mani, The paint was laid so thickly that an additional coat would have taken forever to dry - so I mentioned that only one coat is needed. She obliged and proceeded to apply *3* additional layers of top coat... Ugh. Aside from the millennium it takes to dry, we all know what happens when polish is too thick: it peels almost immediately... I literally got through about 6 hours before the first nail started to peel. All the others followed shortly afterward, leaving me looking like a toddler who had picked away at her polish obsessively. (I later noticed that the paint on my toes was also very thick - not a big deal considering you toes don't risk chipping/peeling nearly as much as your fingers) I felt compelled to post this review considering all the rave reviews that lured me here in the first place - maybe the clientele has little to compare this salon to so that's why they believe this is a fantastic place? maybe you're looking for acrylic - I can't speak to that? Or just a pedi? Or you won't need/want any color applied to your fingers? Then this is a good place - personally, I just expected that the mani would last for at least a few days. All in all, I won't be going back and the search continues. read more

Great atmosphere. Was pleasantly surprised by how well they did my nails. The shoulder massage was a plus. I would highly recommend this place. read more

This place is awesome. I went on a Sunday because they were one of the few places open and they have forever earned my business. The woman who did my nails was professional and took her time, they came out awesome! Inexpensive as well! read more

First mani pedi of my life and it was flawless! Inexpensive (what other salons go for on Groupon), relaxing, friendly, and noxious smells were kept to a minimum. The only downside was that I came in with my sister and there were not enough people working/no effort was made to work on both of us at the same time. I was 75% of the way through both my services before she had anything started. So she didn't have time to get both a mani and pedi before work. But for me, I would definitely recommend it. read more

I received a manicure last week and asked for clear gel polish. My manicure chipped within days of receiving it. I was extremely disappointed. I will not be returning to this salon read more

Having moved to Naugatuck just a month ago and being the mom of a toddler I had not had the chance or time to find a reliable and reasonable nail salon. After looking on yelp and reading positive reviews, I decided to give Golden Nail and Spa a try. I got a gel manicure and a pedicure. Walking in I was greeted with a friendly attitude and everyone was extremely nice. They helped me pick a sassy summer color. Tran did a fabulous job doing my manicure... Frankly she had a tough job because they were a train wreck. She took time and really did detailed work, they came out beautiful. My pedicure was done by another girl who also was very detail oriented and did a great job she even did the shaving of callus' which some salons won't do or charge you extra. This was a great first experience and I will definitely be back in two weeks. For both gel mani and pedicure it cost $50 which is very reasonable! I would highly recommend Golden Nail and Spa! read more

Nice nail salon, easy to find. The parking was a little confusing- sign on the street said no parking and I wasn't sure if there was parking behind the building so I took my chances and parked right in front. No issues there. Got a pedicure that was quick, reasonably priced and good. I do recommend and will try this place again. read more

I absolutely LOVE the way they do pedicures at Golden Nails and the super cute designs they give, but I DID NOT like my acrylic nails at all or the designs executed on them. It was almost the worst I've ever had. I'll be back, but no longer for Full Sets, Manicures, or Fills. read more

The Husband and Wife team that own this nail salon are wonderful. They super nice. There staff not so much. But that is not why they earned one star. I have gone here two times to have a gel fill manicure. Each time I went the price was different. I called thinking maybe I'd go for a third time but when I asked how much for a gel fill I was told all these extra charges. Like to remove a nail or fix one $3-5 and even a $5 charge to cut nails shorter. I could not believe that in top of the manicure price they charge to cut your nails!!! Anything to make a quick buck I guess... The place is okay clean. If you look around lots of dust and the manicure tables are a little grimmie. Needless to say I will not be going back...sad bc the owners are really cute and funny. W. Main Street Waterbury has a great place they do awesome and only $35 for a gel fill read more

I love this place! I've tried every place in town and this is 100% the best!! Everyone on the staff is wonderful but I personally recommend thi! She does fantastic work! I have pointy shaped nails and not many places I've tried really gets them right, thi nails it every single time! read more

Golden Nail & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Naugatuck, Connecticut

My husband and I went in for pedicures and a nail polish change for me as well for my birthday. I have to say this is the best service I have had in a long time coming from a small boutique. The place was clean and well kept and the manager Lana as well as the rest of the staff treated us like royalty! They took their time and made sure "EVERYTHING" was perfect. Since we were treated so well we thought we would be paying an arm and a leg but to our amazement we only paid...you ready....$45!!!!! I highly recommend this place and plan on returning very soon! read more

I found this place due to being near my work, and I am glad I went there. I have been to many salons over the years, but this one is stellar. After a gel manicure at a local day spa that turned out horrible, (and I mean horrible!), I stopped to see if they could fix the disaster that was my nails. I have not gone anywhere else since starting there. They are friendly, personable, and truly make every visit enjoyable, not awkward like you get in some salons. It is family owned, and they truly cater to whatever you need, eyebrows, pedicure, manicures, lashes, etc. My nails are in the best shape they have ever been in. I am always so pleased with the work they do. I absolutely recommend going there, they are wonderful! read more

Best nail salon around.Terrific prices and wonderful staff.Tom does the best designs. Would highly recommended going.
