Got dip powder for the first time here based on a review from my cousin whose nails always look amazing. I've been scared to get dip because i've seen them look almost puffy on some people but she promised me I was in good hands with Pampered. She was totally right! This is absolutely my new spot. I love the way my nails look. It's been over 3 weeks and my nails are still in good shape. There's also a big, free parking lot right next door. read more

Dane did an outstanding job with my mani and pedi. This was my first time here and she was patient and gentle and I ended up super pleased with both. To be honest, I was a little struck by the prices mostly because I'm used to cheaper in my former neighborhood. But I would say you get what you pay for. I don't partake in these services too often so I will budget accordingly for future. Cheapest pedi on the menu was $39 - that's the one I got and it was perfectly fine! read more

I have never had a bad experience at pampered nails. Amy does my builder gel perfectly every time. She suggests shapes and lengths that will look best on my hands and has never failed to make me feel confident walking out of there. Amy is my go to for nails there but every employee is talented and goes above and beyond to make the client happy with their mani or pedi. read more

I tried this nail salon because of comments on FB. I requested Amy as she was recommended. She was great! The salon is clean the staff was so nice offering water and coffee. Amy was so good! Took her time and the massage was wonderful! I will be back! read more

Don't come here for nail art. I've given them so many chances- at least 5 and I've left unhappy every time. I know that's on me that I've kept going back, but my friend always leaves here with lovely nail art and I am an optimist. I'm a firm believer that if a customer comes with an idea you don't feel comfortable doing you should say sorry I can't do that. I asked for flowers, showed the black and white rphoto, and got off center dots like I did when I was 12. I came home and repainted better with my left hand. Paid $50 and am livid. I told her it's okay to say no if you can't do it or don't have the tools and she just said she could and put the top coat on and at that point I just wanted to get out of there. read more

Everyone in here is so amazing! The experience, the service just beyond phenomenal. Thank you Dani for doing such an amazing job on my little sisters first time nails. She had fun! Couldn't ask for more and can't thank you all enough. We will be back! read more

Clean, professional, thorough, and talented technicians. I have been going for several years for manicures and pedicures. I have never been disappointed. Booking is easy and the massage chairs are a dream. read more

Below average with everything- end product of nails and especially with scheduling and organization of the owner, Kate. Even if you call ahead to try to be courteous and flexible to their schedule, when you come at the time Kate said, she will gaslight you by saying she said a different time, and then make you wait an additional 20+ minutes. Pedicures are mid. Even if you pay for the extra 5 or 10 minute massage, there is zero pressure and they just rub lotion lightly on your shin until your skin is raw with no actual massage on your calf muscle. Take the T and go to a different salon in Malden or Boston. read more

Absolutely terrible experience. Made an appointment for my mother and I on Tuesday and spoke with a receptionist who did not know her own booking system. Didn't ask for a name or anything. When we got to the appointment we had to wait 30 minutes before even being spoken to. Receptionist went to bathroom and flirted with another customer before paying attention to either of us. I decided to go home as I had another appointment. The receptionist accused me of lying but I had a screenshot proving that I did call, she then told my mother not to be rude without even being seen by an actual nail tech. Really upsetting since we had gone so much in the past, but not shocking that their younger generation of customers has gotten fed up with the experience at Pampered. Never going again and hope no one else does. read more

Really love this place! Found it through Yelp to get my nails done for my wedding and Kate did such an amazing job that I've gone back here every time since! Great selection of colors and styles, good location with amples of parking and just a nice experience overall! read more

OMG!!! Glowing in the dark nails are lit!!! I am so in love. Kate is the best nail technician I've ever worked with. I told her what I was imagining in my mind and she gave me the exact results. Can't wait to show them off in the club this weekend. Thanks Kate! read more

One day I had to drive my daughter to a soccer game and figured while she's with friends I'll go get my nails done. I came across Pampered and met Amy and I've been hooked since. I travel all the way from Boxford to Melrose to get my nails done. The first thing that won me over is she uses the clippers for your cuticles with dip, instead of the drill. My old salon had me leaving with nicks constantly. They take their time to make sure your nails look perfect and can we talk about the 10 min massage on your legs when you get a pedicure?!?! Heavenly! I can't recommend Pampered Nails enough! read more

Just moved out of the city and found this place right near me. Pricing was great, service was quick, and the massage chairs were very comfy. I called on a Saturday afternoon and I was in a chair 20 minutes later. Tina did red toes and this rose gold sparkle gel mani. Will be returning! read more

I came in for a dip manicure for the first time and had a great experience! Despite a slight mix-up about the time of my appointment, they were able to fit me in quickly and did a beautiful job on my nails despite my loose idea of what exactly I was looking for. Parking is quite easy thanks to the public lots nearby. I love my manicure and will definitely be going back for future appointments. read more

I have been seeing Dao at Pampered Nails for the last year and I can honestly say that she is the best nail technician I have ever been to! She is meticulous with her work and truly takes the time to make sure your nails are perfectly shaped and colored. My pedicures last at least 3 weeks and I have been getting the powder dip on my finger nails and they also last at least 3 weeks without any chips or cracks! She also gives an amazing facial and she's the only one I trust for my eye brow wax. You can tell that Dao really enjoys her job and doesn't rush you out like some other salons I have been to. Pampered Nails is very clean and the pedicure massage chairs are brand new. All the girls at the salon are so friendly and welcoming. I can't say enough good things about Dao and Pampered Nails! read more

I called and made a same day appointment. Once I arrived to the salon, I was greeted immediately and felt welcomed. The woman who told me to sit down ended up being Kate, whom she introduced herself to me. I ended up showing a picture from their yelp which was a beautiful set of pink and white ombré. She knew immediately what colors to use and started working. Overall, Kate worked quickly and made sure to check in with me to see if I was satisfied which I was -- especially since it was my first time there (I'm extremely picky). I'll post a picture since my nails came out beautifully and I'm more than likely to come back! read more

I visited recently for a regular mani and pedi. The pedicure was great, but the manicure didn't go well. They upsold me four or five times on a gel mani then a polish type I didn't want. The review score is because 4 of my nails have broken SO low, into my nail plate. The manicurist had filed down the sides of my natural nails as part of the shaping which I'd never had done before? And I think it weakned them significantly because they broke at the base of that filing and my nails are super short now. read more

I had my nails done here 3 weeks+ ago before going on vacation in Puerto Rico and I was totally impressed with the result. Not only it was beautiful but also lasted for a longgggggg time, not to mention that I was in the water every day for almost a week during my vacation. I got TONS of compliments from people I came across on the street. They all admire the white, pink and glitter combination so much that I may have to come back and do the exact same style next time. BEST NAIL SALON EVER!!! read more

This is the best nail salon!! I've never had gel manis last very long at other salons but after 3 separate visits (all gel manicures) not one of my nails have chipped after TWO weeks. Amazing!! Wish I'd found them earlier but they will be my go to place from now on. I keep showing my husband like "look no chips!" Note he didn't care so posting here for people who will.

Wanted to give this place a try after my friend recommended it and an appointment with the same lady she had been going to. I walked in and told her I had a gel appointment and was told to pick a color. I was helped by a different woman than who my appointment was supposed to be with. All of the swatches were just in the corner everywhere and I wasn't told which were gel or dip until I was struggling for a bit. When I decided on a color she couldn't find it so I had to pick another which is no problem. Her tools were not sanitized and her gloves were from a previous client since they had some left over gel on them. Sadly she wasn't really as attentive to my nails as I would've liked and got gel on my skin, underneath making my nails stick to my skin. I really wanted this place to be great and I was sadly disappointed. Maybe for other services they're better but for gel this was really an awful experience for the price and feel I could do better at home. read more

Awesome experience the nail technician is the sweetest and really took her time. They cleaned my nails really well and the gel lasted for long than I had expected. The nail technician really cared about what I had to say and ran with my natural look vision. I highly recommend coming here. It is wise to make an appointment prior but they accept walk-ins of course. If your nails need some TLC please I advice you to check them out for yourself. read more

Got a gift card for Christmas though I'd never been here before. I'll never go anywhere else. Gor a dip powder and my nails looked fabulous for over 3 weeks. Kate is a perfectionist, staff is nice, it's a relaxing atmosphere. Check it out. read more

I love this nail salon I have been going here for the past year and actually drive 30 mins to get here. The only negative thing I have to say is that i usually always have to wait even with an appointment. I made an appointment for 12:15 and wasn't taken till 12:45. However, This post is specifically to say Joanne is an amazing nail tech. She takes her time as if your nails are her nails. Anddd she's constantly sanitizing her tools. She used new file, new buffer, and sanitized tips for the buffer machine they have. She went above and beyond!! Ask for Joanne! read more

Crowded when I arrived. Unfriendly, felt very rushed. Made an appointment the week before with a specific tech, whom I did not get. Tech was nice enough, but not careful or precise. Didn't trim cuticles. I have clear polish stuck on my skin and one of my nails is bleeding. Never washed my hands between coats, or at all. I left with powder mixed into the hand lotion. To top off the experience, I was charged $5 more than what was listed online. Was very excited for this appointment, but left disappointed and will not return. Color and style of nails were not what I asked for (even showed a photo of previous yelp reviewers' nails) read more

Best nail salon I've been too. Never walked out disappointed and never felt pressured to do something I didn't like. They always listen to how I like my nails done, always filed to perfection and very accommodating!! If you need help looking for a color they'll find it for you!! Anyone who posted a bad review definitely didn't speak up while getting their nails done because they all ask if everything is to your liking after every step.... I hardly ever wait to be seated, they're very sanitary and the techs treat everyone with the same respect. The colorful pastel set in one of the photos I've attached are the most recent set read more

Went as a walk in first appt two weeks prior, and the service was good and passable enough to make me go back since I can no longer make it to my regular salon. Called for a next day appointment with the same tech I had the first time and they said no problem. I arrived for my appointment early and the girl I was booked with JUST GOT UP AND LEFT!! I got another tech for the pedicure and just decided it wasn't worth mentioning. In the middle of my pedi another tech comes over to start wrapping my fingers, which is not unheard of. She was the one who apparently was going to do my nails, but the truly weird part was it was being done at the same time as the pedi with nothing but a towel covered pillow on my lap to put my hands on! I wouldn't mind any of this if my nails actually looked good, but NOPE! She missed polishing parts of nails, left them sharp and ragged, and a few are bubbling, like the polish didn't cure. All set with this place. Not sure where the disconnect happened where it went from an OK salon to 'I am never going back!' read more

It was my first time here, I was referred by a friend. The staff was nice but the service wasn't that great. I got a regular manicure and was horrible. They didn't clean up the polish around the nail, it was bubbled and it wasn't painted to the skin. read more

I've been to many nail salons and this is one of the worst. It's so dark, it looks closed when you arrive. You won't be greeted in a friendly manner and the woman who did my nails was very pushy. That's usually fine with me but only if you do a great job. She kept squeezing the s**t out of my fingers even though I asked her SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP!! She just kept right on squeezing and twisting my fingers ways they weren't meant to be twisted. Maybe I'm a baby but my fingers were sore for the rest of the day. The color and gel itself looked BEAUTIFUL but my nails looked like they already needed a fill after I left the place even though that's what I flippin went for. Also the materials and equipment that they used looked dirty and old. I'm just happy I left without an infection. read more
