I had an amazing first visit to The Nail Bar in Newington! I went in as a walk-in and didn't have…read moreto wait at all before my service started, which was a great bonus. I got the spa pedicure with gel polish, and it was absolutely worth the $82. They used hot stones, a foot scrub, cuticle oil, gave my nails a thorough trim and cleanup, and finished with a relaxing foot and calf massage. It was such a great experience from start to finish. Saru took care of me, and she was wonderful! She was very thorough, gentle, and made sure everything was done perfectly. The salon was also very clean and had a relaxing atmosphere. I've driven by this place so many times and finally decided to give it a try. I'm so happy I did! I'll definitely be coming back and will be recommending The Nail Bar to my friends and family.

Was a walk in on a random Wednesday evening. Was able to sit and be taken care of right away…read more Joyce was super friendly and made nice small talk with me which I really enjoyed. She was nice and thorough double checking she was doing what I wanted and I couldn't be happier. I feel like for the price and speed, it's really reasonable. The location is convenient but nothing fancy, even so, I can see myself coming back in another time.

This past Friday was my first time going to this establishment. I went with one of my friends who…read moreis a frequent customer. As I walked in, my exact thoughts were "oh my gosh, what a beautiful place!" We were both greeted by employees who were kind and made us feel welcome. As a first timer at Bliss, I seriously could not feel any more relaxed. The amount of nail colors to choose from was beyond out of this world, it was truly fabulous! My friend got a manicure and pedicure, and I got a pedicure. Mind you, I very rarely get my toe nails done - because I'm super ticklish and it's a sensory thing. I chose to step out of my comfort zone and get a pedicure. So glad I did! Despite the feeling of having the bottom of my feet scrubbed the entire process from beginning to end was very soothing. The big massage chair is a plus, I have lower back issues and the relief I got was stellar! Purple is my absolute favorite color - so of course that's the color I chose for my pedicure. My usual go-to for manicures is a woman. For my pedicure, I had a male employee and that does NOT bother me at all. He was very attention to detail and made my experience a good one. Hard working for sure! I'd like to even point out that when my Yeti tumbler fell off the side table attached to the massage chair (due to the back massage taking place) he cleared off some space on the shelving used drying a pedicure and allowed me to put my Yeti there. To top it off, he would stop very few minutes and ask if I'm alright (the employee noticed I was in a little bit of pain, my left ankle sprain did not heal properly). This will not be the last time I set foot into Bliss Nails & Spa! It's gonna be my go-to for pedicures (and manicures if the woman I go to is unavailable). Thank you so much, Bliss Nails & Spa for making my first time at your establishment an incredibly fabulous one! I'll be back..

I called in the morning to make a reservation for 2 pedicures in the afternoon. I gave my name and…read morewas told there was plenty availability and the appointment was all set. When my friend and I showed up (5 minutes early by the way), we were told that they gave the appointment to two other girls that they just assumed had made the reservation and they could no longer take me. WTF? Absolutely will never go back. What's the point of taking appointments if you don't stand by your word and check people in? There was ZERO sympathy, it was just oops, tough luck. No compensation or any remorse, everyone just looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and went about their day. Extremely unprofessional.

Getting a nice massage on your legs and feet is the best part of getting a pedicure, and the reason I paid more for a "spa" pedicure. They literally just rubbed lotion on my legs the way I do it at home when I'm rushing to get ready. My entire service was done in about 25 minutes, how is that a spa pedicure????

Even something so simple! It had little bubbles in the polish, my nails have sharp parts, and it seems that there weren't 2 coats applied because it quickly became matte in several spots. The worst part is the attitude I experienced. Not sure if it was meant to be directed at me but my nail tech didn't seem to want me there at all. At the end she even asked "do you want a massage or no?" when my nails were drying and it seemed like she just wanted me to say "no". I said yes please and she promptly put a 2 min timer in front of my face and gave a weak lackluster massage that said without saying "I'm done here". It seemed that a lot of regulars came in, and perhaps other technicians are friendlier and more detailed oriented, but unfortunately that was not my experience.

For…read moremy birthday, my boyfriend wanted to treat me, so he booked a mani/ pedi for me and a pedi for himself. New Paris completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment we walked in- 10 minutes early for our appts- they were kind, welcoming, and accommodating. I appreciate the extra time so I could select my nail color. The service was fantastic! for my dip manicure, I wanted some added length, so they started by applying tips and expertly shaping my nails while I was enjoying the pedicure. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere made me feel truly pampered. My nails turned out absolutely stunning, and to top it all off, my manicure lasted an entire month! I couldn't be happier with the experience and will definitely be retuning.

It's been hard to to find a place that can do my nails with excellence and consistency and in trend! So far The Nail Story delivers. I've went to Vi and B and both are really great! They work fast and meticulously. They are kind and as conversational as you want them to be. They understand the power of social Media and respond quickly to appt request via instagram. Overall they are clean. Since they've inherited a lot of the shops equipment some of it like the chairs look pretty rundown but they are still comfortable. I hope in time they can upgrade and modernize

Cons: Ive never had a nail salon soak off gel polish on the toes. I am used the electric nail drill…read moremachine like they use on fake nails. But he soaked it off & used the nail drill and it took forever to remove the gel polish on my toes. Nail drill bit was not sharp, cuticle cutter was not sharp, very dull materials ... also zero ventilation in the salon. Rubbing hot stones on ankle bones (yes directly on the bone) is painful and he did exactly that. Thankfully it was a very short massage ... which was a blessing in this situation but I feel it should have been a longer massage for a $60 service. He also painted on my Cuticle line, so it looks messy with gel polish. And didn't clean up the polish left on my skin. And the big toe polish is MESSED UP you can see the brush strokes and its matte/smudged and this is gel polish Pros: pedicure clay mask w hot towels was nice

When I get my service: I always like Some design and flair and Amy delivers. It's hard to find a salon nearby that is liking to do some design work and be good at it. I always get powder with extensions. They last about 3 weeks and start getting loose in that 2.5 - 3 week mark. I mention this for two reasons: 1. I'm pretty rough with my hands and activities and appreciate how resilient my nails are for the most part. 2. I wish they did last longer but most of the time 3ish weeks is the max I can go with this type of nail service bc they start breaking or popping off. My only reason for 4 stars is that at times my nails aren't even.. not noticeable to the average eye but I notice. I also wish the technical design capabilities were stronger. I know of other salons that do some cool things but seem so far.. with that said they do good work and I get compliments quite often..
