    Acrylic set done by Rohr. Gel polish, color number 240
    Kait W.

    I've been to multiple nail salons in the area since moving to Rhode Island, and metro nails is now my favorite. The vibe is very no frills, which I appreciate. They offer a wide variety of services, and I was able to get a same day appointment. My nail tech, Rohr, gave me exactly what I asked for. She was able to fix a bad set I got at a different salon, shaving them down where they were too thick and uneven, and reshaping them to give me the shape I wanted. I will definitely be coming back.

    Service was great I was a walk in and they took me very quickly. The lady who was giving me my pedi/manicure was very kind but I did notice the tools she used on my toes weren't very sanitary. It wasn't even in the alcohol. I should've known because now my toe infected and leaking pus. My first and my last time coming here.

    Gel manicure
    April Y.

    Metro Nails is my go-to nail spot in Providence. I've been living here for about a year and tried other salons -- they just don't compare. The gel manicures I've gotten here last more than two weeks with the same glossiness and without any chips. Regardless of the manicurist, I've always been happy with the results. I'm kind of addicted to this place; I used to do my own manicures at home but now it's just too tempting to just go to Metro. :) I usually stop by in the early afternoon on weekdays (without making an appointment beforehand) and have been immediately seated (no wait). The staff is really great at removing gel manicures without tearing of layers of my real nails, as has happened to me at other places. They are really quick. A gel manicure usually takes less than an hour. Service is great. Some manicurists are more talkative than others, but they're all really friendly! A gel manicure is $23 with my $2 student discount -- very affordable! They only accept cash tips, but even if you don't have cash on-hand you can withdraw some from their ATM. I highly recommend this place to others, especially for a gel manicure. It's worth it!

    Very nice staff, accommodating, and skillful. I'm not someone who is an expert at nails or gets them done regularly. But I like getting something simple done every now and then. I've been here a couple times for a gel manicure on my natural nails. Mind you, my natural nails are pretty thin, break easily and not much to work with, but they manage to make them look beautiful. They listen and are willing to work with your preferences too. Highly recommend.

    Metro is by far one of my favorite salons. They are very friendly and did my nails exactly like my pinterest photo, lol. Highly recommend.

    Walked in on a Monday afternoon and only had a 20ish min wait without an appointment. Had a great mani and pedi combo (just regular polish). Both technicians were amazing, thorough and friendly service! They accept credit cards and have scannable QR codes to accept virtual tip payments on Cashapp and Venmo. I will definitely be coming back :)

    This is my 5th time here and Metro Nails always do a wonderful job with the manicures. I got my nails done today for graduation next week and they came out great! Their prices are so affordable (and offers a student discount).

    Much needed mani/pedi before baby arrives
    Jackie O.

    I needed some me-time before my baby arrives...and also I cannot reach my toes. This place was a lifesaver and made my feet feel glorious after the spa pedicure. My gel manicure was very thorough and came out awesome. The workers are kind and they listen to what you want. The woman who did my nails asked multiple times if I liked the color/shape before proceeding. I loved that! There seems to be lots of regulars that come here and for good reason. The place is very busy. I'd recommend making an appointment to avoid having to wait for a walk-in. The only negative is that I really wished they showed/explained to you how to use the massage chairs because it would've been nice to actually enjoy the chair. The whole time I was just trying to figure out how to recline the chair without it giving me a very hard and uncomfortable punching massage. Perhaps a quick little explanation would be helpful. I had asked how to recline and she did it for me with the controller but the chair wouldn't stay for me if I wanted the massager on at the same time. Perhaps it's just me though, or the particular chair I was in. Be sure to bring cash for a tip because they can't do tips off a card. I've yet to find a nail salon in the area that is clean, affordable, and does a good job. This met all criteria (cleanliness is VERY important and they take it seriously for sure). Can't wait to come back!

    Love getting my nails done here. Super clean, very nice staff and knowledgeable. I like that all the women can do whatever design you ask for.

    Made my nail beds and cuticles bleed on both hands
    Maisune E.

    I was 15min late to a same day appointment because I was coming from Seekonk so when I arrived to see how crazy busy the salon was on a Friday afternoon, I changed from pedicure to manicure. I said this upon arrival so nothing had been set up for the pedicure, and they were insanely busy anyways, so this helped them get to others who were waiting. But what shocked me unpleasantly was they had me done in less than 20 minutes, drying included. My friend sat to the left of me getting the same exact simple manicure, using a halal polish we both brought to the salon. Her nail tech was gentle, thorough, massaged lotion into her hands, steamed her hands with a towel, and very clean. My nail tech was aggressively rushing to get through my hands, ridiculed me for having short nails that she "couldn't do anything with" and made my cuticles bleed. She pointed at my middle fingers saying "you have cuts" but she caused them when she trimmed my cuticles without paying attention. She hardly disinfected the tools she used. She did not use lotion on my hands nor steam my hands with a towel like my friend got. She painted over the lines and used way too much alcohol to fix her awful precision. She warned me that it will sting because of "your cuts." She charged my credit card without telling me the amount and didn't provide a receipt because "you have a tap (credit) card." When I requested my receipt from another nail tech, my friend and I were bewildered that we were charged the same price for two wildly different experiences. My friend was shocked at what she was seeing me get right next to her own experience and it took us a while to process the whole situation. I'm not sure if I was being punished for having short nails or arriving late (even though my friend repeatedly notified them I was coming soon and they said it was totally fine) or if my nail tech was having a bad day but a salon should be relaxing, and at least give you nice hands. I left what felt like a hostile work environment with bloody cuticles and a below-average manicure, hardly a color change if that. I won't be coming back to say the least.

    Ask the Community - Metro Nails

    Can I get 2 pedicures at the same time tomorrow Saturday 7/1?

    Do they accept cash?

    Yes, cash definitely seems to be preferred. They have an ATM inside for your convenience as well, especially since tips are only accepted in the form of cash. Best part is the ATM only changes a $0.50 fee.

    Are walk-ins welcomed?

    Yes but it can be very busy there so an appointment is usually easier.

    Hi there. New to the area and looking for a salon near work. Do they do dip mani's?

    Yes, we do Dip Manicure

    So they offer wine with top end mani/pedi?

    Don't believe so! Might want to try vip nails in north providence, they do!

    Aidile's is a really great and clean place. I can't remember the wonderful woman's name who worked…read moreon my nails and waxing, but she really did a great job! My eyebrows haven't looked this good in years! Everyone else in the salon was so friendly and welcoming as well. It really was a comfortable place. I had gotten my dip powder for awhile from another place, but it's a bit unaffordable now. The other place I was going got to be a bit uncomfortable as well with certain things happening every time I went in. So I found Aidiles while searching for somewhere new, and I'm really happy I did. She took my dip powder off and I could see my nails again! I've had it taken off before, and they had left my nail with a bunch of it still on just without the color, so it was nice to go somewhere where they care enough to actually take the dip powder off correctly. I told her the color I wanted and she quickly showed me the pink, which had a great name that is escaping me. It was just the color I was looking for. She waxed my eyebrows and my underarms. I've always had pain after getting my underarms waxed for at least up to 24 hours after I get it done. I had none after the initial ripping pain lol. The environment is nice, the people are great, and the service is fantastic! It's worth it to go in if you haven't, and it's worth it to return if you have been here before. I definitely will be going back when I'm able.

Very friendly and…read moreawesome people buy it unfortunately ends there they had to soak my nails so she did, then left me soaking for 45 minutes. I wanted a gel polish on, picked my color, and she did not trim or file my nails down at all, so I got this. The color is uneven too. I really wanted to love this place because everyone was awesome. Oh well, still trying to find a decent nail place around here.

    I do consistently come back to Charming Nail in Cranston but lately their service has been falling…read moreshort. I typically request an appointment online and despite doing so unless it is early in the morning the appointment always runs much longer than necessary due to how busy they are. I'm not sure if it is due to overbooking or just allowing too many walk-ins, but I have definitely had to wait over 20 minutes for an appointment I made in advanced which is unacceptable. Charming nail is one of the only salons in the area which offers dazzle dry, but the consistency of the service is all over the place. Some technicians follow the dazzle dry procedures perfectly which results in a long lasting manicure, but others don't and my nails chip less than 24 hours after being done. This is frustrating when I'm spending $30 plus tip for something that doesn't last. Especially when I'm getting nails done for a special event. Overall the vibe of the salon is good and the people are nice, but I do hope this lapse in recent service rectifies itself so that I can feel confident in going back.

The establishment is a very clean roomie salon. I was greeted with a smile by one of the staff.

The bottom line is I loved the nail job that she did and in addition I was given a massage a neck massage. The cost was great. It was $35 plus tip. in the event that my present manicurist is not available, I definitely will use this place again.
