This place used to be my go-to. I'd agree with other reviewers. Services have become totally rushed. I booked a quick manicure which is supposed to be 20-25 mins long. Start to finish the service was only 13 minutes. Specifically, the tech didn't properly clean under each nail (stopped after 5 - ?) and never touched up my nails after the final coat leaving polish on the sides. I paid an extra $10 for dazzle dry so the polish would last longer. It's day 2 and already peeling! A waste of money. read more

manipedi - Day 2 and already peeling. - Nail Salons Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

Every time I get a gel manicure here it never sets correctly. My nails always are left feeling tacky/sticky which leads them to have imprints or dents in the coloring. It's likely due to them not curing correctly which can be caused my incompatible lights or too thick of polish. The polish didn't seem thick and the technician applied only two coats but the lights may be the problem. The nails on one hand definitely felt very hot when under the lights. The actual manicure is good but it's frustrating to have to call and go back in for correction. read more

I am reluctant to write a review but please be careful when selecting services that require a shared service such as dip manicures. I ended up with a nail fungus that I can only attribute to Manipedi since I rarely indulge in manicures and dips. I selected a dip because I wanted it to last so I didn't need to make return trips. Clearly an error on my part. read more

Too rushed and they hurt you sometimes cutting the nail to the quick. They rush you even when it's empty. Makes zero sense. We go there for relaxation and leave stressed out. read more

Rushed service and rushed payment. The area was clean but one of the utensils came an already used pack of tools. There are many options, so I probably won't be back. read more

Very rarely yelp but unfortunately this visit was my last. I've gone many times and it does depend who you get but walking out a hundred dollars less in my pocket and a pedicure and manicure that are visibly bad. Would not recommend this place. read more

I've been here before and had good pedicures in the past but this visit was a complete disappointment. Not only did they keep me standing at the counter waiting for 20 minutes but the pedicure was only so-so. Normally they spend 45 mins on the pedicure but this time was a rushed job, I asked for rounded edges, and she yes, and then only cut across my toenails leaving sharp edges, I paid an extra $20 for callous removal and she only did a quick file and didn't even apply moisturizer afterwards. She also left my toenails at varying lengths and shapes, big no-no. I could have done a better job myself, which defeats the purpose of paying a professional to do it and saving me a sore back! Very disappointed in this place and would not recommend it. Go to Le Vernis across the street or Unique Nail on Linden St. instead and get much better service. PS. To top it off, they gave the woman before me a 10 minutes shoulder massage and pipped me with a 60 second cursory rub on the back! read more

Brought my sister who has special needs and they were incredible with her. Patient, understanding, and made her very happy getting a mani/pedi. Would definitely recommend! read more

I had my worst manicure experience ever. I made an appointment on line. After 20 minutes of wait, a woman came. She rushed through the whole process with the lotion in the gloves burning my hands; a shoulder massage for maybe 20 seconds; and hand "massage" a few seconds. The whole manicure lasted less than 20 minutes for what is supposed to be "relaxing" 30 minutes of service as listed on their website. Her manners are rude and service terrible. I will not be surprised if my nail color is chipped in a few days. She made me feel stressed during the whole time. I will NOT recommend this place to anyone. read more

This is the best nail experience I have had. They are fast and efficient and have great colors in the powder.

Pedicure was rushed. She did not do a great job at all. Barely even exfoliated/scrubbed. Not satisfied, will not be returning

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Horrible experience. Had Gel-X service ($85) on Thursday afternoon. First, they said I didn't have an appointment and only believed me when I produced the email confirmation. Without even soaking & softening the cuticles, she cut the cuticles so aggressively that she even said "let me know if this hurts". She did such a messy, rush job that one nail was put on crooked and just now, 2 days later, one of the nails fell off! I wont ever set foot in there again. read more

This place is wonderful! Friendly staff, beautiful long- lasting manicures and pedicures! I have been going to manipedi for a few years and my experiences are consistently excellent. Highly recommend! read more

Very disappointing. I went for a dip manicure on a very slow day. despite having plenty of time, the nail tech pries my old dip manicure off with a card.. no soaking or filing down first. It was painful and left my nails damaged. during the manicure I witnessed staff be very rude to a man checking out as well as a woman who popped in to ask about availability. After the nail technician applied dip powder to my nails, she did not file or smooth my nails at all, leaving them lumpy with completely uneven edges. I was charged 85 dollars for what I can honestly say was the worse looking manicure of my like. Even my boyfriend, who never notices, admitted it was garbage. I went to my usual salon the very next day to have them redone. read more

So disappointed. I have gone here for years. It has gone way down hill, although it may depend on who helps you. I won't go back unless I am desperate. They rush you at every corner. I arrived early as did my friends and still we were rushed and pushed to sit before we were ready. This is supposed to be relaxing - it is not. The massage on the pedicure is more annoying than massage. Not sure how you can apply zero pressure. Also, I can see through my red nail polish. It needed another coat. No wonder my person finished before my friend who started first. Not a good experience. read more

Not good which is kinda sad because it's clean and in a good location and well staffed. I went in on a Saturday and it was not busy at all, which should have been a red flag. Manicure was too fast, missed cuticles, no real exfoliating a stone massage that lasted 2 seconds .. was rushed but was only three people there. Not sure what's going on here :( I will never go back. read more

I walked in and asked if I could get a manicure, and one of the technicians said, "now...no". Then she proceeded to speak in Vietnamese (or whatever her language is) to her coworker. I think she asked me what time I would like later on...so I said, "how long of a wait is it?" I got no answer. All the technicians looked at me and then went back to doing their customers' nails. I felt as if I was in a Seinfeld episode! read more

I've been going to this salon for a while and I have had mostly good experiences! Their gel manicures last 2 - 2 1/2 weeks and the amount they charge is pretty consistent unlike some salons that rack up your tab and force you to pay a different price then what was shown upfront. And they ask BEFORE they cut off all your nails The only reason why it's not 5 stars is because they talk to each other so much you can barely get a word in if you have to point out something. And they don't really give you much time to pick out your color before they rush you. But overall a great salon! read more

Today I went I with my aunt, cousin and sister and could not be happier with our experience! We called ahead and made an appointment but someone joined at the last second and they took us no problem! My cousin recently got surgery on her knee and is in a wheelchair so we were nervous about her being in there and being able to get a manicure! They are very accommodating and just wheeled her up to the bar where they paint nails. I was so pleased she was able to get her nails done with us even though she can't sit normally. I got a gel mani and it was awesome. Cici did it for me and she did such a clean and nice job. My sister and cousin got manicures and they loved them as well. My aunt got a pedicure and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Although the nails are priced on the higher side, I can see why. They do a great job and offer many upgrades and extras. The staff was very nice,professional and accommodating making it a relaxing visit. Finally, the salon itself was great and I loved the layout! Very unique, clean place and will definitely visit again! read more

manipedi - My gel mani! Very good clean job! Loved it - Nail Salons Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

My experience was pleasant and there is a large color selection. A regular pedicure without the full leg massage is $29 (kind of pricey but I didn't want the leg massage so it was fine for me). Not sure how much a full pedicure (w/ massage) would cost. Didn't realize the massage would cost extra; I think this is usually part of a regular pedicure. Overall good but perhaps for the price, I may not try again. Good for a girls thing where you are not concerned about how much you're spending. read more

Leaving this place feeling like a king! The staff was super nice and super professional. Made even me, a manly man, comfortable in a female dominant setting. I brought my mom here today and we both got a manicure pedicure. The service was thorough, gentle and comfortable. Interior of this place was clean and serene with soothing classical music playing in the background. With this symphony, I drifted away into paradise as my toes and hands are pampered. Management was super nice and helped with our selection. Overall, great experience and I would recommend it to anyone, man or woman, who wants a quality, relaxing manicure and pedicure. read more

I made appointments for 5 people for a wedding. Was told upon arrival that we arrived 10 minutes late- due to parking issues- and so 1 of the wedding party would need to forfeit her appointment. Who should it be? The bride? Mother of the bride? Bridesmaids? Ridiculous... never coming back. They clearly don't need the business. read more

Do not come here. The employees are super quiet and rush through doing your nails. They do a decent job, but don't try to ask them to fix something on the nails. The manicurist i had made one of my nails very thick compared to the rest and kept on looking at it with a disappointed expression. When I politely asked her to file it down so it's even, she filed down the wrong side. When I asked again, she barely filed it. It seemed like I was inconveniencing her when I just wanted the nails I'm paying for to look good. She also cut me with the file. I've been here a few times and somehow always leave with a cut from the file. The prices here are astronomical too. Safe to say I won't be coming back. read more

I had the best experience here- they gave me a pedi in under 15 minutes and it was so great!!! Also they switch you when you're getting your mani so you don't have to pull your arms all over the place! The staff is thoughtful and friendly and it is SO CLEAN! There is no smell of nail polish ...they do not do acrylic nails here so smell! Hands down the best nail salon I've been to in years! Thank you manipedib read more

manipedi - Nail Salons Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

I've been coming here over the last year since I moved to the area. It was the only place in the area that did a good job for a few extra bucks. I will say it's become hit or miss though. Lately I've felt rushed even when it was slow. I stopped getting gel to take a break and I honestly don't see the point in a regular manicure as they whip right through it. My nails never last more than a day. I've had more regular manicures than I can count and by far have never felt that rushed. The corners of my nails didn't even have nail polish on them.... sloppy work. When I first started coming I was impressed by the cleanliness. Now I'm not sure it's worth coming back to. I feel like I'm getting ripped off and I don't want to leave more stressed out than when I came through the door. They are ok. I really want to like this place.....but it should be better. Pros- clean, well oiled machine, variety of services. Cons- busy, rushed, more expensive than others, regular mani is rushed, services are not consistent, crappy parking. (Bring your change) and lately very chatty with each other and no the customer....it's rude. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I came here with 8 other people and manipedi hosted us after hours, which I appreciate. However, many times, we felt very rushed and it was obvious. If you're going to decide to host a group after hours, you should be providing the same quality service and not act like you just want to get the job done so we can leave faster. It appears that the senior staff here were the ones rushing us through nail polish color selection and to the empty seats. A mani is supposed to be a relatively relaxing event, but with the staff scurrying around cleaning this and that, a senior staff member peeking over other staff's shoulders to see if they were done or even close yet made me feel very uncomfortable and not welcomed. Since I was the last one still having my nails painted, I'm sure the staff member doing my nails felt a tremendous amount of pressure to work faster. And she did, that's why my second coat doesn't match my first coat and I can clearly see there are two different nail polish coat lines on most of my nails. Overall, if you don't have a private event after hours, this is your average manicure. They clean up your cuticles and your nails, give you a pump of exfoliating hand soap to wash your hands, a quick hand massage, ask you if you like the color on one of your nails before proceeding, and finish the job without much to say. read more

Cleanest and most relaxing pedicure. Very efficient and ends with a neck rub. Highly recommend

This salon is too fast to do a good job. A pedicure and dip manicure 40 min max! And that short attention shows. I lost 5 total nails in less than a week and they did not offer me a re-do! Also many nails were uneven. For $95 one should stand by their work. My daughters have had the same experience there. We are searching for a new salon! I would not recommend Manipedi for anyone who wants a quality job! read more

After hearing many positive reviews, I decided to give ManiPedi a try! Initially excited, I was extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with my finished nails. Although the lady was friendly and welcoming, she completely rushed doing my nails and did NOT focus on the smaller details at all. 1.) the sides of my nails are extremely MESSY- with some parts not even colored 2.) the part near my cuticles are UNEVEN and LIGHT in color 3.) even with the second coat, some of my nails are NOT rich with color I understand that I was the last customer and it was a very busy day. However, given the expensive price they charge, they shouldn't rush and value EVERY customer. I will definitely NEVER be going back again. read more

The woman told me at the beginning a full set dip powder manicure would be $65 (and she saw that I already had tips on). At the end it costed $75, when I asked why - she told me it was $10 to soak off the dip I had on before. Issue is, she did not soak off my nails, and instead stuck a literal METRO CARD under the color and pulled them off my nail - tearing off the first layer of nail bed. While they took all of the tools out of a "sanitized bag", I noticed half way thru that the nail clipper she was using on me was covered in rust so thank god I have a tetanus shot. Between using rusted metal and a dirty piece of paper they got from a train station on my nails, I will not be coming back ever. I would highly recommend going to le vernis down the street over this dump. You would think that for this price, they would be able to afford some simple acetone. read more

If you want a lightning fast pedicure (as in less than 15 min), and don't care about details, then this is your place. Then, you can have the nail technician ask you for a tip, while they stand over you waiting for one. And when you say that you'll bring it before you leave, they send someone else over to collect it. Done here. read more

Pedicure was just OK I felt rushed they were not very friendly nobody seem to speak English or smiling. My Pedicure was about 22 minutes long which seems kind of quick when you're looking for a relaxing spa application. I think I'll try someplace else next time call Emma it's not the place to be pampered and that's what I was looking for read more

I travel a lot due to work and i have tried many different nail spas previously. By far, i count "mani pedi" as one of the best nail salon i've ever been to. First of all, they have so many nice brand nail polish because of that it took a while for me to choose color.(i ended up choosing dark red) I actually came to celebrate my mom's bday so we both got the olive oil spa treatment. The treatment was on a sale so we took the chance for this deal. It was a bit pricey but after seeing all the serum and time they were putting in i think it was worth the money. It was really relaxing and after all, my feet feels so soft and nice. And yes! My mom loved it as well. Although i don't live in this area anymore but will definitely come back whenever i'm visiting my old folks. read more

Tiffany gave me a perfect full manicure after a professional gel removal, left me clean cuticle and shiny nails. I also love the hand wax and shoulder massage, so relaxing. And the salon is clean and lovely. Best manicure in Metro West Area so far. Will definitely be a regular client and recommend it to my friends! read more

Very disappointed in my pedicure. I was in on Saturday, August 13, 2016 mid day and I was told after the negative experience that the woman who did my pedicure name was JoLee. 1. I arranged to have friends take my children out for lunch so that I could enjoy an hour to myself. It was a birthday gift to myself (birthday was day prior). 2. Started off with the woman rushing everything. Before I knew it, she was putting on my flipflops. I asked her to please use the callus remover next to my big toes. They were exactly the same as when I came in. She told me that would be extra. I asked her to please use the rough scrubbing bar (not sure of name) and please focus on the 2 areas next to big toes. She preceded to scrub so hard and fast, it was hurting awful. Clearly she was angry I asked her to do her job and it showed for the rest of my short time there. 3. I had a blue on my nails upon coming in, so one would think if you going from blue to a french all the blue would be removed. WRONG! My right big toe has a small ridge in it, so color sometimes get caught in there and needs to be buffed a little more. Did not happen! I asked her to remove the blue spot and she told me IT WAS A BRUISE!!! Are you kidding me?? She then refused to do it and started painting anyway. At this point I was so frustrated, I was ready to cry. 2 minutes later she was done. 4. Had to squeeze though another chair and over the woman's purse on the floor, grab my purse and coffee, roll her seat out of the way all the while she just stood and watched without helping. 5. Sat down at the drying station and she started massaging me as hard and aggressively as possible. I am a fan of deep tissue massages and get them often but this was out of control. Thankfully it lasted only about 45 seconds and 3 chops..then said "you pay now". Out of control! I should mention also that this big rush was not because they were busy, after the abusive less than minute massage she sat at the counter and got on her phone. I paid and left a 15% tip partly because thats the type of person I am and also because she was standing over me with hand out. I typically give over 20% when I have a great experience. I get pedicures once every 2 weeks and usually go to Kim's Nails in Newton since it is near my work. I decided since I could walk to manipedi I would give it a try. Wish I didnt! Now I paid $40 for a pedi that I have to go to Kims to redo. So this will cost $80 plus tip but it will be worth it after going to Kims. Awful, awful, awful experience! I truly look forward to Luxury Nails in Linden Square, Wellesley opening. I hope they do a better job! read more

Yoyo gave me a great and very relaxing pedicure today. It was a quiet time in the salon, and I will ask how busy they are the next time I go as well, because it was quite peaceful even though there were a few customers coming and going. I turned on the massage chair and zoned out! Lovely. read more

I like this place. It's not my absolute fav ever, but they do a good job and are very friendly. I've had great gel manicures and great to pretty darn good pedicures. The only "complaint" is that I wish I didn't have to wait for a response for my reservation request when I book online. There have been a few times when it's never accepted. I just show up anyway, but I prefer to have a spot booked. read more

I have to say the service is great and the staff is spectacular, also the space is every clean , which counts for a lot. There is a lot of useless accoutrements - meaning treatments that don't really do anything (i.e. Paraffin wax dip- cool, but useless) , but raise the price. Yes, you get free drinks and coffee, but it's not worth the overall upcharge. I paid $93 with tip for a plain pedicure and gel nails, with no extras. NINETY THREE -that's A LOT even by my standards. I can pay nearly half that for equivalent service in any number of places. It's just too much, even for Wellesley. It's not luxury. It's just slightly better than average. I read that they charge for gel removal? Which is crazy , Bc in every other salon that is just standard operating procedure , as you cannot do gel nails without removing the initial set. Weird. read more

I loved going here- it was my first time and the pedicure was excellent. When it got to my nails, I decided to do gel, but they weren't left to heat long enough, so one of my nails has streaks. Also, the wax burnt my eyebrows, damn that was hot! I really liked the lady who did my manicure, and they have a card to eventually get a free manicure when you pay cash, which is an added bonus. The massage & paraffin wax were excellent touches. read more
