Lily&#x27;s Nails and Spa

My favorite luxurious, for the same price, salon. I have been going here for seven years, and I am…read morealways impressed. The salon, itself, is beautiful, clean, and televisions are very comfortably placed. New color palettes are thoughtfully displayed. The manicurists/ pedicurists are perfectionists who aim to please. Waxing services are also available. Bottled water is available for your comfort also. Cash, credit, checks, all accepted. Cash or check only for tip(s). Caring conversation is abundant. As a plus, a fantastic buffet is only a few doors away!

I am conflicted on this one…read more.. Came in for a walk in. They told me to come back in an hour or so. Came back told them I wanted a dip manicure. The nail tech I had was named Ha. Didn't talk much but seemed like a very nice lady. What I did like a lot: she went back multiple times with the cuticle nipper. And she went under and around my nails with a small ball shaped drill bit. But as much as I appreciated the attention to my cuticle skin, she often went too hard and hurt me. I had 4 places on my hands bleeding by the end. She also put gel over my dip which is strange to me. I purposely get dip because it's stronger and I need it in my line of work. I also do not like the UV light on my hands. I asked her about it and she said it was normal to do. When I checked out, I asked that girl if they always put gel over dip and she said yes. I travel for a living and I've just never seen that, but maybe is regional? Either way I think it's something that should be asked. At the end of the day, my nails aren't terrible. They look all right from afar, but when you look close, they are lumpy and miss shaped and I have cuts all over. There's so many good reviews that I'm confused. Am I just one of the very unlucky few? Or maybe the bad reviews are just from specific nail techs? I don't know, but I just wanted to give my honest and fair assessment of my experience. (Also no music or anything playing. That's awkward for a nail salon.)

I showed up without an appt on a weekend for a mani/pedi, and was seated right away. I waitied 5 minutes for someone to free up. She placed a liner in and filled the tub to soak my feet. Everything was very sanitary. The mani/pedi was utterly uneventful. The technician followed my instructions on the length of my nails. I was the only person on the dryer because they had small UV dryers for people at their stations for other types of nails. Four days later, and a lot of dishwashing since, and no chips. Everyone who came in was happy to see their tech, and caught up about kids, and school and that sort of thing. It was really a good experience. It is much more expensive than NYC, but I think that's true of nail services in the Boston area in general.

Beautiful environment and excellent quality. Exactly what I wanted, highly recommend:)read more

The polish application is messy, uneven, and looks like it was done by someone with very little experience. The color I received was not even the one I asked for. What concerned me the most was that the technician cut my toenails using a cuticle nipper instead of proper nail clippers, which is unprofessional and could be unsafe. Throughout the appointment, she seemed very uncomfortable and inexperienced. Overall, this was one of the worst pedicures I've had, especially for the price. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this salon.

Unfortunately, my manicure was a different story. I got cut a few times during the process, which definitely hurt, but I tried to brush it off at the time. The bigger issue came a couple days later when I noticed my fingernails didn't even match my toes anymore. Looking back at photos from the day of the appointment, it's clear the color on my nails actually changed -- you can literally see where the top coat was applied, and it turned this strange brown shade. I'm really disappointed, especially since this happened right before my vacation. I was expecting my nails to last and look consistent for more than just a day or two.

The nail technician who took care of me was a middle-aged man. He stared at me several times and showed an upset expression when the machine accidentally touched me, which made me feel very uncomfortable. It was an awful experience, and I really wanted to request another nail technician. This was my fourth time going there, and every time they charged me a different price. This time I got builder gel and cat eye nails, and they charged me $83, which was much more expensive than I expected. Because of this experience, I don't think I will go there anymore.
