A friend and I were looking for a new nail salon to try and decided to give Nailistix a try. I was in 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. read more

I am SO excited to tell you about Nailstix's! 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! read more

This welcoming and relaxing environment fulfilled all of my nail care needs. The pedicure was meticulously done, with extra care given to the dry skin on my heels. The gel manicure was the best I have had in the two years I've been in Springfield and the prices are so affordable. 15 for a gel manicure (additional 6 for French), 30 for a pedicure. My hands and feet have NEVER looked this good, and I felt confident that my nails and their appearance and care were more important than getting me out of a chair to have a higher turnover rate. read more

Nailistix's - French gel manicure with shimmer base - Nail Salons Near Me - Springfield, Massachusetts

I truly don't have enough time to express how wonderful this nail salon is. Never in my life did I think I would find a nail salon with such friendly, welcoming and fun technicians working. Nailistix gives you those feelings of loyalty, comfort and trustworthiness that your favorite hairdresser does! The prices are BEYOND affordable (I think they're able to keep them so low because of how popular they are??) I personally see Zenaida every time I go, but I have gotten to know both Yvette and Alicia as well because they are both so warm and friendly. My nails are always FLAWLESS, strong and they last.. Even through my waitressing shifts! The salon is always clean and inviting, and accommodating to their many customers. Without a doubt, the best nail salon option in all of western mass!! read more

After reading reviews on Yelp and what great prices they have for a gel manicure I decided to give this place a try. I go to school in Springfield and this was close, so I came in after work with an hour and fifteen minutes to spare before my night class, which I thought would be plenty of time even if I did have to wait. I was greeted promptly when I walked in the door and told it would be a 20 minute wait (I did not make an appointment). There were two other customers getting their nails done and one waiting. While I was waiting, the owners daughter helped me pick out a nail polish color. She was very knowledgable about the colors and which ones were gel and which ones weren't. So I waited 20 minutes, one customer left. Waited another 10 minutes, wondering if they forgot about me. I waited another 15 minutes, so a total of 45 minutes and decided I couldn't wait any longer. Not once did someone say they were running late or I would have made an appointment for another day. 20 minutes is fine, considering I didn't have an appointment. I would have waited 30 minutes. But 45 minutes is too much to wait without any acknowledgment that they are running late or behind. read more

The best manicure I've ever had! Went in to have a french manicure with gel polish and Alicia took care of me! She was so sweet and friendly and she took her time and really did an expert job on my nails. She paid attention to every detail and wasn't rushed and really exceeded my expectations and surpassed all other nail salon experiences I've had. This was seriously amazing. She also gave me a fantastic hand massage. I'll definitely be back here! So glad I came in! read more

Got gel nail polish! The polish was done incredibly well but it started chipping within a week. I'm not sure why the nail polish was chipping on the edges, for me it will always last 3 weeks, but I don't know what happened. The nail polish close to the base stayed on for a long time so I'm not sure why the tip chipped so quickly. The smell of nail polish was also very strong and gave me a headache. So, while the service was great, the nail polish needs to be better and so does the air quality! read more
