Literally THE worst nail salon I have been to in 30 years! I asked for them to be cut down a little!!! He cut them down right to my fingertip! And so rude! They literally make the prices up as they go! I was told one price and people who came in after me were told other prices! They left like I should've! Never again! If I could give them a negative star I would! read more

I will never be coming back to this nail salon. The woman I was working with was so disrespectful towards me. Not only were there bubbles and dents left in my acrylics, shes was rude and basically wanted to rush me out the door, and because I took maybe 5 minutes to find what color I wanted she said I was "hard" to deal with, while slamming her foot into the counter beneath her. I was also charged 10$ last minute because I wanted matte instead of shine. I left the nail salon basically In tears. i would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Do not come here worst place for sure they do not listen to what you want at all! None of my nails are even and I told them this and still no one listened! Can't believe how bad they look everyone agree! They all came over to look and talk crap never again should t even paid! read more

I think I finally found my favorite nail salon on the South Shore! I have frequented 90% of the nail salons in this area for mani/Pedi's, Shellac Polish and brow waxing. I had some success, but all in all lackluster experiences and most were grossly overpriced for the quality of service received. Right after the new year, I came to this newly opened salon for a much needed mani and pedi. Located in a strip mall right off of exit 10 in Kingston, the location is convenient and easy to get to. The inside came out beautiful, it is very spacious with about 8 pedicure stations and a large horseshoe shaped bar with hightop stools and probably 8 manicure stations as well. Cindy took amazing care of me. It was a long, and truly relaxing experience. They also give you a neck/back massage with a manicure..who doesn't love that? They had just opened a month prior, so I got 15% off my services ($34 for mani/pedi) and they also gave me a free full sized bottle of lotion just for checking them out! I went back a second time to try the Shellac Gel polish and for some brow waxing. Helen (I assume the owner), took amazing care of my brows and was so sweet & hospitable. Cindy did my nails again, they came out just the way I wanted! This place is new, and trust me if you give Helen's a chance, you will thank me! A nice, relaxing nail salon that gives quality service from the nice, talented technicians. You will leave feeling pampered and beautiful..check Helen's out. read more

I just moved into the area and went here for the first time today. They had a great color selection however I will not be going back. I got the deluxe pedicure and gel manicure and the paint job on both was not great. My feet are more rough than when I walked in the door because he just grazed my heels with the metal exfoliating tool. This is what my heels looked like immediately after. I had one man do my pedicure and another do my manicure so maybe the other technicians are better, I only have been here this one time. read more

I used to go here all the time but the last time I did I was so disappointed. When doing my cuticles she picked the skin around my nail, which I told her was hurting, and when my nails were finished I had cuts around at least 3 nails. I asked not to file them down so much and she filed them way too short and also cut one of my finger tips with the emory board. I got gel polish and when my nails were finished, the polish was far enough up my nail where it looked like I had acrylics that needed to be filled. They used to do such a great job on my nails but sadly after that last time I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Now I remember why I stopped going there. Some of these technicians are so rough and rush. What an uncomfortable and unpleasant experience. So much for relaxing and feeling better. Nope. Never again. read more

This place was great. Clean, sanitary, and they do great work. I got a manicure which included a shoulder massage while my hands were wrapped in heating pads. Bliss. I also got some areas of my face waxed and Helen did a wonderful job. I will definitely be back! My nails came out great and lasted an entire week before I even got tip wear. Even then, the first to show wear was the pointer finger on my right hand, which isn't surprising. Loved it! read more

Came in for a pedicure. No soaking my feet in hot water, no lotion, nothing- just trimmed my toenails and painted them. It took maybe ten minutes? I've never had an experience like that before. read more

I love it there!!! Been coming to Helen's since it opened here a couple years ago. Helen usually does my mani and pedi, she is amazing and very detail oriented, but I've also gone to other technicians who are fairly great too. The salon is very clean and all the tools used are sanitized. They now offer eyelash extensions services and I am so happy they did! Michelle is great. I love my lashes. She is very meticulous and such a perfectionist. Come here to get them done, you won't regret it! A bonus: reasonably priced services. read more

Booked an appointment August 1st for my bridal party this past summer. I know this review is late, but better late than never right!? Took my bridal party here for a mani/pedi the day before the wedding. They were super accommodating! There was even another bridal party there having their mani/pedi day. Friendly, decent price, and quick. I'll go back in the summer when I need another pedicure. read more

The reviews for Helen's Nails & Spa are on point! I'd glad to see others have enjoyed their experience as well. The salon is large and very well kept. Their employees are always friendly and take great care of their customers. I've booked appointments with Helen for manicures, pedicures and eyebrow wax - she's excellent! read more

This is my second review. I came in to get gel nails. The lady doing my nails did a pretty good job, it was just kind of awkward because she barely spoke English and she seemed very cold, and like she was on a rush. She also gave me a back massage that lasted about 30 seconds. If she had asked, I would've declined, which made it even more awkward. I can't give them a bad rating because all in all, my nails look good. I think it's just a culture disparity. I still like going there. I would still recommend this place. read more

I was happy that I could be seen because I had somewhere to be later on in the afternoon. But now wish I would have waited, I have natural gel nails the taking off of the polish and shaping has left my nails in pain. They were filed down to almost paper thin which is the opposite of how they were going in. My pinky nail was red and cracked after the filing. I am not sure if the woman who took off my old polish should be doing nails. But I won't be going back at all , and that's tooo bad it seems like a nice place. But my nails actually hurt. read more

I made an appointment for 4:00 for myself and my daughter for a Maine and pedi. We arrived on time picked out our colors and sated there for 25 minute before being called to go to pedi chairs where we were sat next to each other someone started the water for both of us and then started my daughters pedicure I sat there for another 25 minutes now in cold water so I got up and went to the counter and told the girl I was all set not waiting anymore and I just want to pay for my daughters pedicure the owner looked at me and just turned around no apology nothing and to boot I paid $30 for my daughters pedicure that was horrible her nails were crooked and there was polish all over her feet Will never go there again read more

This place is awesome. The space is brand new and extremely clean (a major concern of mine at nail salons). The manicure bar has tons of seats and there has to be at least 10-12 massage chairs for pedicures. The older woman who did my nails didn't do the best job, which is where they lost a star. I had to have one of the younger guys fix them. That said, the services otherwise were great. Hot towels/stones and back/neck massage are included when you get a mani/pedi. I will be back, though I wouldn't go back to the older woman who did my nails. Everyone else seemed to do a great job though! Great spot- check it out. read more

Took my girlfriend here and now she is a frequent visitor ! Will always come back ! Excellent service ! Howie in the front is the man! Always great to talk to him. read more

I loved the whole vibe of this place, and the staff was nice. Probably the quickest manicure I've had, (in a good way.) So overall, I wish I could give this place a higher rating, but I'm basing this on my nails. First of all, they're chunky. I got an acrylic set with white gel, and the top of the nail is so clumpy and uneven, completely unlike the pictures. Secondly, they look so big. Each nail raises so high off of my natural nail, they look completely fake compared to the realistic look I wanted. Also, they're so wide and twice the width of my real nail. They look so unprofessional, and I'm soaking them off. I'm really disappointed because this trip was a present to me for getting good grades. This salon has all the tools and supplies to provide a good nail service, but they just don't have good nail technicians. read more

Went last night for my first trip to Helen's Nails and Spa to get a French Gel manicure. Katy did my nails and she was awesome!! Great service, this place definitely goes the extra mile. They even massage your neck/back!! I've been to several nail salons in the south shore and Helen's Nails and Spa definitely beats out all of their competitors! Very relaxing atmosphere, clean, and beautiful decor inside. I will definitely be a regular customer!! You should check them out!! read more

I usually go to a different nail spa but I needed my nails done close by and the previous reviews/ verbal recommendation didn't let me done. This place is really good. I got a pedicure and a gel manicure, both done by two different men in the shop. They really took there time to make sure it looked right (I got a difficult color, it took three coats to get the color right). Even though I stayed over closing time they didn't try and push me out and I didn't feel rushed at all. It was clean, they were gental, and my nails came out good. If you've never had hot stones on your legs, they do that here and it's great! I will definitely come back here! read more

A great establishment, very accommodating and clean! The staff was very courteous and did a great job handling my wife's pedicure and manicure. Sydney was awesome and open to what she was looking to have done. The rest of the staff was very polite as well. It was a team effort getting everything done. the price point was very nice as well. She would definitely come back again. read more

Do Not Go Here! My friend and I have gone to this nail salon several times over the past year because it was conveniently located close to my house. However, every time we went our experience was just OK. I had a couple of nail technicians that were pretty good but both left, never to return. There is a high level of turnover here...maybe my first red flag. Our last experience put the nail in the coffin. My friend and I both got regular nail polish on our toes and finger nails. After my manicure, my finger nails looked terrible. The nail technician kept taking her fingernail and sliding it down the edge of my nail to remove excess polish. But she just made large indents in the polish down the side of my nails. Again, they looked horrible. During my pedicure the technician used an old, scraggly nail brush that she scratched all over my feet. Not only did it hurt and look disgusting but after she just threw it right in the water to soak...with my feet. GROSS! And finally, my friend and I both removed our toenail polish (ourselves) and we both have a bunch of white spots on our nails where the polish was. That being said, I highly don't recommend this place. I've given it several tries but I'm officially convinced it is not sanitary and I won't be going back! read more

First time here and I just had a full face wax from Sydney. She did an amazing job. The first girl to get it right. I will be back. read more

What a pleasant experience! I'm visiting from Los Angeles and was in need of some last minute beauty treatments. I found Helen's on Yelp and loved that it's an all in one stop. Thi was very attentive to my needs and gave me my first ever facial. my skin looks and feels incredible now! I got a back massage as well and she fixed my gel manicure. Even though the spa closed at 7pm all the employees and Helen herself stayed while Thi perfected my manicure meticulously until past 7:30pm. I did not feel rushed at all. I'll definitely be visiting Helen's again next time I'm here! read more

Went in last week for a gel fill in a pinch since my regular place was booked up. didn't even last a week, she didn't think nails out, and left them way too long even after I asked for them to be cut down. Girl barely spoke to me. Horrible service, horrible quality. I will never return. read more

Don't bother making an appointment. They do not honor it. Don't say "yes" when they ask you for a massage, they estentially just punch you in the back. I'm noy lying closed fist hitting. They rushed my pedi (20 min for a spa pedi), and rushed my mani so bad that she cut me. This is hands down the worst nail place I have ever been to, no pun intended. read more

Kind of picky when it comes to my nails and I tried this place and I will 100% be going back. They also have a rewards program. The woman who did my nails, T, was very nice and skilled. I'm very happy with my nails and I loved this place!! read more

Love this place!! Everyone is so nice! The place is spotless! Only 4 stars for 2 reasons: 1- they don't do designs... pretty much just flowers only! 2- if you go for both a mani & a pedi they they insist on doing them at the same time. read more

We came in because of other great reviews. The reviews were spot on!!! Each person took their time and did not rush. Our nails turned out perfectly! And they honored our appointment time! Couldn't be happier with our nails and the service! read more

This is a relatively new nail salon in my area + based on Yelp reviews I decided to give it a shot on a Sunday morning. I arrived around 11 without an appointment for a gel manicure + was taken right away. The manicure itself was done with a lot of care and precision, and I am so happy with the results. While my hands were in the heaters with the cuticle remover on, the technician gave a back massage which was unexpected but great. The tools used on my nails were sanitary + appear to be packaged for each customer after being sanitized. This is the best gel manicure I have gotten and I am anxious to see how it holds up over the next couple weeks. They lose a star because the technician cut right into my skin when removing my cuticles, which made me bleed. read more

Hands down five stars across the board!! Beautiful salon very private sitting areas with curtains for each pedicure spot . Nice staff very detailed and perfect work! Hot rocks with pedi is amazing! read more
