I stopped by the Hands Down because of their great Yelp reviews & I was not disappointed! 1- Staff: They were very friendly and accommodated my late arrival and stayed after their closing time to finish the job. The manicurist, Debbie, did a fantastic job and was very nice. 2- Environment: The spa is very clean and well ventilated. It is very relaxing. 3- Service: As I mentioned they did a great job with my mani & pedi. I will recommend this place and will go back. read more

Hands Down - a Nail Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Clinton, Connecticut

They do a lovely and thorough job. This is a clean and B professional salon and I always enjoy coming here!

I have been going to Faith and her crew for 11 years and would never go anywhere else. My gel nails are perfect, my toes are awesome. Everyone understands what I want and why. And everyone is delightful. read more

Ok. I question some of the cleaning practices there. The French nails had waivy lines so they don't look right, but they give a nice pedicure. Biggest issue is they will add on extra services without telling you it is extra. Mani is 13, hand massage is 3, and pedi is 25, but somehow it was 48 plus tip when I left. read more

I can not say enough nice things about this place and the staff there. They are all friendly and extremely accommodating. I called this afternoon because I broke a nail (yes, I know, horrors). They squeezed me in, even though it was after hours. I wasn't charged for it because I had just been there less than a week ago. All of my experiences with them have been wonderful. Clean, friendly atmosphere. Great job every time too! read more

I'm from out of state and read reviews and was encouraged. So I called. Small cute salon. Comfy chairs and relaxed, clean environment. I made an appt the day prior and they started my mani pedi w/in 5 min of arriving. I got a pedi and gel mani. Gel removal was a gentle removal without dremel tool! Yay! I chose to do a 5 color ombre (gradation) effect on my hands and Amber, my tech pro, was so helpful and patient and I am so happy w the colors. She took her time and my toes and nails are beautiful. Happy customer! read more

Awesome place. Called and was able to be seen right away. Clean facility. Great professional friendly staff. I will be back again.

Always clean and equipment is always sterile, which is very important to me. Staff is always professional and friendly! Having an occasional pedicure has really helped me with walking long distances, no more ingrown toenails. read more

Clean, very friendly, prices are great. They will do everything possible to accomodate you. Wouldn't go anywhere else. The employees make you feel so comfortable. read more

They are awesome and very affordable! I stepped in, 50 minutes before close, asking (hoping) if they could take a walk-in. They were very communicative, stating that I could wait until one of them was finished with their current client. When all was said and done, she ended up staying past close to finish painting my nails. $17 later, plus tip, I had beautifully, freshly painted nails! Thank you! read more

I chose this salon for someone & called ahead to pay as a gift. She enjoyed it very much, thought it was exceptionally clean, the girls were all very nice and she said they had a lot of colors. All told, she was very happy with the experience and would go back in a second. They took the appointment and credit card over the phone, without any issues. Oh and she loved Fabby! read more

This is a gem of a salon - spotlessly clean and a calm atmosphere. Fabiola was lovely and did a wonderful job. I'm glad I went to Hands Down and look forward to returning. read more

Visiting from out of town and chose Hands Down because of their stellar yelp reviews. Had a great experience. Debbie did my pedicure and Mercedes did my manicure. Both were excellent, very professional, paid close attention to detail, conversational when I wasn't chilled back. Overall a lovely experience. I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

I just relocated back to the shoreline from California and was miserably disappointed with the quality of nail services in this area. Tried a few places, really worked with the girls to achieve the same high standards that are the norm in San Francisco, but just couldn't find a place that could hit the mark. That was until I tried Hands Down. What a refreshing pleasure! Brenda did a Shellac mani and an exceptional regular pedi and everything was 100% perfect. Plus the salon has a lovely atmosphere, and is very clean. Everything nicely sterilized. All just right. I get my nails done regularly, have for years, and this place is the real deal. Happy to give it my highest recommendation. read more
