I occasionally come to Sophia's Nail Care when I'm visiting family in Western Mass, and I really…read moreappreciate the convenience of having this service available in the Agawam area. I've had a few good experiences in the past, and I'm not someone who's particularly picky when it comes to my nails--I usually just need them to look clean and last a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was really disappointing. They didn't have the pink/nude color I picked, nor the alternative I chose, and the end color was completely wrong. The dip manicure took nearly two hours, which made me miss a reservation I had afterward. Even worse, the end result just wasn't up to par. The dip powder was applied in at least five thick layers, making my nails look bulky and unnatural. The edges were sloppy, and there was visible residue left on my skin and around the nail beds for days. What was also crazy, is that the tech kept dumping way too much powder to coat them (using half the jar!!) and blowing it off in my direction. I was completely (I mean COMPLETELY) covered in dip powder that other customers stuck their fingers in by the end of the appointment. Now that I've left Massachusetts, the dip is already chipping and catching on things. It's frustrating because when you're traveling, sometimes you just need your nails to look decent until you get home--but this time, they didn't even meet that basic standard. I really want to continue supporting this business when I'm in town, but I hope management will consider providing additional training for their technicians. Attention to detail truly matters, and with a little more consistency, Sophia's could be a reliable spot. 2 stars because there aren't really any other options in the area. (Note: the photo with the red nails was taken a few years ago (I've had pretty good luck since then, but not this last time).

This is an establishment for older people who don't care too much about how their nails look or for a regular manicure. The owner is unprofessional as well. I would never step foot in here again. I had a better chance of my dog giving me a fill in. Horrible. The ratings are definitely their family because there's no way they are still open with that much stars. close up shop thank you.

Went here for a pedicure which was pretty good if not pricey. I asked for a full set which I would…read morehave assumed meant acrylics using premade tips. What I got is something I've never had before and came out pretty terrible in my opinion. A gel was used with a piece of paper to shape each nail. I paid $90 plus tip for these lumpy misshaped witch claws. I was hoping for classy, coffin French tips. Had to ask for reshaping a few times because the nails were all lopsided and pointing in different directions, until another tech came in to try to salvage. I'm due for a fill, it being 2 weeks later, but not sure if I would give this salon another try. It looks like I let my nephew learn how to do acrylics and let him have at it, and I'm frankly embarrassed and hiding my hands. The only positive feedback is that these things are NOT coming off or lifting up. If I could get the same seal to the nail with pretty nails I would go back every time.

A friend and I were looking for a new nail salon to try and decided to give Nailistix a try. I was…read morein for a full acrylic set and a pedicure, and my friend was getting a gel manicure and a pedicure. I should probably make note that it wasn't my first acrylic set, not by a long shot. The interior of the salon is quite nicely decorated and spacious. The polish selection is definitely lacking. It took me a while to find a color I liked, merely due to not having very many options. Most of their polishes were gel, and the regular polish was mixed in making it unorganized. The nail tech that did my acrylic set.. well, lets just say it felt very rushed. I ended up with multiple cuts on my fingers, which she continued to attribute to my cuticles being dry. The cuts were from her filing the sides of my nails, and were mostly at the tip of my fingers. One of the cuts ended up being so painful I had to remove my nails a week later, and the cut became infected. My friends manicure was anything but that. She saw the same nail tech as I did. When all was said and done, she had polish all over her fingers and didn't even receive an actual manicure. The owner ended up comping her manicure which was certainly warranted. I received a message asking if I wanted to book in my next manicure, at which point I let the owner know of the infected finger and less than satisfactory set I never heard back. I will say that the pedicure I received was absolutely phenomenal and lasted for weeks. Thankfully it was a different tech than our nails.

I am SO excited to tell you about Nailstix's!…read more Located just off Boston Road, Nailstix's is a clean, classy place to get your fingernails and toenails done. They have terrific hours (open til 7-8 most days), which makes it super convenient for people who work late, like myself. The parking lot is super tiny, but you can park across the little access road and it's only a short walk. The interior of this nail salon is spacious, clean, and modern. I was greeted warmly by Yvette, the business owner, who took time to answer my questions about gel polish, and showed me different polish options. Even though it was getting late (almost 6PM), she agreed to do at least my nails. We talked about scheduling a pedicure for another day, as every nail tech seat was full-- this place is popular! Yvette explained that they only charge $13 (!!!!!) for gel polish, nail shaping and buffing. They don't do cuticle trimming or push backs (will trim bad hangnails) like other salons do; she further said that this is actually healthier for your nails, and other salons usually do it to justify their higher prices. At first I was skeptical-- because my cuticles were dry and unsightly-- but after she finished shaping, buffing and polishing, I could hardly believe these were my nails! They looked gorgeous! I opted for a nude/natural gel polish. Another nail tech was free, and so she offered to do my pedicure. The shaping and polish came first, then a soak in the pedi tub with skin scrubs and a pumice stone. Even though my pedicure took us right up to 7PM (and a few minutes beyond, to pay), no one complained or made me feel uncomfortable. In fact, all of the ladies were very kind, talkative, and friendly-- something that's rare in nail salons these days. Here's the one "downer" about Nailstix's: they're cash only. No debit/credit cards. In the adjacent shopping mall, there's an ATM at the laundromat, and so I walked over there to get cash to pay. Very inconvenient, yes. And while the gel polish on my nails was an absolute steal at $13, the pedicure cost $47 dollars, likely because of the skin scrubs and pumice stone paring down. This price is pretty standard among nail salons; however, had I known the cost of the pedi ahead of time, I may have skipped it. I will most definitely be back to Nailstix's for gel polish changes on my fingers and toes. I can tell you right now that I've put this polish to the test already: I've washed dishes, opened Coke cans, and otherwise scraped, dinged, and scratched my nails, with no noticeable trace of chipping. My nails look better than they ever have-- the plus being that Yvette and company really care about the health of your nails, and aren't just looking to make a buck. If you're looking for a nail salon: go, go, go!

I just happened to drive by and see the grand opening sign and I'm so thrilled I did. One of the best nail spa experiences I've had over decades of regular nail appointments. Everything was super clean and cute. You're immediately warmly welcomed with drinks and snacks and an incredible polish selection. My nail tech listened to all my requests and exceeded my expectations. I needed a lot of cuticle care, and it's hard to find somewhere who will do really thorough Russian manicure style cuticle work. The quality of the manicure is exceptional, and I especially loved the complementary paraffin wax treatment -- my favorite! Everyone was super nice, it was a calm, relaxing environment and really blows every other shop in town out of the water. Will definitely be my new go-to while in town and highly recommend to check them out! Great deals, too, while they're getting up and running.
