3 of my acrylic nails broke within a week and a half. They put barely any acrylic and do it real thin. The women also rushed my nails and they are all lumpy. I'll never go back or recommend to anyone. read more

Worst pedicure I have ever had. Polish was horrendous. Nail broke this morning after the filing she did. Cut way to much with cuticle nippers. Polish is already coming off. And not to mention painful! Never ever again! read more

Fantastic! Ladies are super friendly and attentive. Had my pedi AND mani done at the same time. Take about efficiency and being pampered! 25.00 for gel manicure and 25.00 for pedicure. Everyone is talkative and laughing and nobody upcharges you or asks about your non-existent boyfriend or why you're not married. Some of the ladies struggle with their English but are very willing to learn and share and always up for a lesson. Good thing I love what I do...and I love amazing pedicures!! read more

First of all, if I could give this place 0 stars, I would. My friend and I spent hours browsing online, looking for a new place to religiously get our nails done in the area and we found this place, which has great reviews. We were so excited to try it out. We got there, and waited for about 30 minutes before we even got to sit down in the chair or horror. (My friend was getting an acrylic fill and she had a pleasant experience, and her nails looked beautiful...although they did cut her) Me on the other hand, not so much. I asked for a GEL MANICURE. I did have acrylic tips a few weeks ago, so my nails were on the weak side, but they were long and looked nice, and regardless, if you're a nail pro, then that shouldn't matter at all. The first girl who started doing my nails, filed the shit out of them, put the first layer on gel on, and had me stick my hands in the UV light for a little while. But for some reason, the gel was not really sticking and she proceeded to paint my nails anyway (bad decision). Then finally, she realized that it was starting to look like crap. so she began to scrape/file the gel off and re start the process. She did this about 2 more times. My nails were basically on fire from all of the filing she did. Then finally, her boss came over and took over. She began to take everything off, mind you.... the gel was completely hard so it was super difficult to take off...so then she finally wrapped tin foil around my nails to get the gel off and start the process over ONE MORE time..... But then I looked at the time and realized that I had already been there for over an hour, so I told her to just take everything off and that I just wanted to leave and had somewhere to be... so she violently scraped all of the gel off, and it burned my nails so much! I could have cried right then and there, not only because they physically hurt but also because of how SHORT and disgustingly thin they were. Finally, she got everything off and then demanded that I still had to pay $10 for a regular manicure and I was so beyond offended..... Why should I pay for a horrible service and complete waste of time? At this point, she started screaming at me and said that it was my fault that it didn't work because I used to have tips prior to going there...and I told her that she should have told me to begin with that she couldn't do my nails, instead of wasting over an hour of my day and burning my nails from filing so much! So I gave her $10, and didn't even get an apology or anything. WORST service ever, do yourself a favor and stay as far away as possible.... It's rare for me to write bad reviews... (look through my yelp) Even all of the other nail salons that I was unhappy with I did not write any reviews because I figured it could just be a hit or miss.. and I ultimately like to support small business but this place is GARBAGE... I've never been spoken to so rudely in my life. They lost what could ave been a great and loyal customer. I'm very happy to share this with everyone on yelp and my 2,000+ Facebook friends.... If this review stops 1 person from going there, I'll be content. (sorry didnt mean to post this twice) read more

Spent 110 for the worst experience ever, called in to make an appointment earlier that day to walk into a puzzled looking nail tech who paid more attention to the time on the clock then my mani and pedi. I personally witnessed him turn away 2 costumers because he wanted to leave so badly. the technician rushed through my spa mani and pedi, I asked for a design on 4 of my nails with rhinestones and they fell off a few hours after leaving. Icing on the cake, he said they didn't accept my spaweek gift card, although I I found them on the spa week website and confirmed that they accepted it over the phone with a woman prior to even making an appointment! Unprofessional, inexperienced and inattentive read more

Worst manicure pedicure I've had in 30 years. I asked for square, got round. Asked for sheer pink... Got opaque pink. I left 20 mins ago and Gel is already peeling off, it's all over cuticle. Snd surrounding skin, Staff seems sweet but untrained. The girl who did my pedicure filed my left foot not the right. When I asked her why, she simply nodded and continued on. The language barrier was obviously the problem at this point. She put my flip flops on before she applied the cream, hence my feet did not receive the application only my calves. When I asked if she was creaming my feet, she smiled and continued again. I just gave up. If I had 4 hours to spend on nails and no children to pick up I may have asked for someone more experienced to fix the mess, but the one woman who looked experienced was very busy. A suggestion would be to let them practice on each other A LOT, there technique and English before they attempt paying consumers. Very nice staff and welcoming facility but as paying working customer I can't give the time or money to so disappointed .... read more

I started going to pearl nails and spa over a year ago and love it! Everyone makes you feel like family. From complementary soup, water, soda, and gifts for xmas! They are just as loyal as you are. They are clean and attentive. I recommend this place to anyone as I have to my family and friends who are now they're family as well. For example, I said to Mai... "I had a rough day at work I need extra massage in my pedi". She relayed this to my pedicurist at the time and VOILA! 2O MINUTES OF MASSAGE! Best part... No extra charge for Family! Can't say enough about the place! read more

This place is nice and clean and the staff is friendly. I really wanted to give them a better rating. But ... their technicians are amateurs who need more training. The woman who did my pedicure barely cleaned my feet. I asked her to remove an ingrown nail and, though she tried, it was a fail. Honestly, the whole pedicure felt like a polish change. It was quick and not very good. Someone else did my manicure, and at first I was like, "Whew!" That was until I realized that she was worse. I hardly felt her pull /cut my cuticle to the point that I wonder of her tool even really touched my skin. She gave me a GEL mani but didn't really know how to apply gel nail polish, so it bubbled. And, the NEXT day, it peeled off my nails. The lady who seemed to be in charge did my gel nail polish over for free the next day and apologized. She was really nice and I wished I got her in the first place. All in all, I had to return for another 45 min to fix the lackluster job originally done on my hands. While they're nice, I'd opt for another place. read more

Walked in for mani/pedi..... I knew I should have walked right back out as soon as I saw the disarray the polish was in. The tech seemed adequate but no basin liners, no clean implements, the place wasn't very clean & neither of the 2 ladies were friendly. The whole time I was there, they spoke in Spanish to each other. I'm convinced that the nail polish is very old. After drying, spraying & oiling, the polish was still not dry when I left & 2 nails were damaged. She said oh u must be use to gel. It takes a long time for regular polish to dry. Honest it's been hours & I can still put a dent in the polish w/my nail. Enough said! read more

Really wanted to say something great about this place. Purchased a groupon and was excited to try somewhere new. I must say, everything was clean and the gentleman at the front was very attentive, however the nail tech had no idea what she was doing. Definitely an amateur. I would have asked her to completely redo my gel manicure if I hadn't already sat there for an hour and a half. Unfortunately will not be back. read more

Very quick, excellent service. I had a pedicure here for the first time. Typical massage chairs as pedicure was exactly was I was anticipating. Got a great little massage as my toes were drying. The price is definitely worth the experience! read more

The nail technician was really sweet and she did a great job shaping my nails. Unfortunately I don't think she applied my SNS dip powder nail treatment correctly. This type of manicure is supposed to last several weeks without chipping. Mine started crumbling away 7 days later. I'm upset to say the least! I'll have to go elsewhere to have them redone. The owner was kind enough to offer me a free redo. Very good customer service but not necessarily the most skilled with powder (which, in all fairness is a new product!) read more

So reasonable. The ladies are nice and knowledgeable. The older woman two chairs down had nasty feet. The woman doing her nails was so nice and recommended that her son bring her to the podiatrist. She was subtle about it, but I'm pretty nosy. I would definitely go back. read more

Wonderful experience. Came in for a shellac manicure, took me right away. My manicurist was extremely friendly, I felt like we had been friends for years! Prices are amazing as the shellac was only 25! They didn't yet to talk me into any other services but I decided while I was there to get a $20 pedicure. That's right $20!! And included in that is a few minute leg/foot massage and callus scrub! Nails came out excellent and I will definitely be back! read more

I loved this salon! It was very cheap for a gel manicure (under $30), and they had way more of a selection of colors to choose from compared to most places. Everyone was very friendly & spoke English, and the owner came over to say hello and was really nice. They did a great job on my nails. I will be coming back! read more

First time here and my daughter and I really liked it. Employees were very nice and did exactly what we wanted. Love the work. Only got refills today due to time but looking forward to coming back for mani pedi. read more

Dirty, chairs are all ripped, although I liked the girl doing my nails, they were the worst gel nails I ever had, I am sorry to say I can not recommended this place to anyone read more

This was hands down the WORST pedicure I've ever had. My husband got me a gift certificate for Mother's Day bc it's near our house and he figured it would be convenient for me. I am going to a wedding tomorrow and was in a crunch. I asked for the spa pedicure, what a joke. There was NO massage and the foot reflexology they displayed was literally a push on each foot. I couldn't believe they didn't even use lotion for the leg massage. Thank god I'm not one to verbally complain but I will NEVER return here again and I strongly encourage anyone reading this to find a different place. They deserve zero stars but I had to give them one. Dissatisfied in Milford read more

As a guy, going into a nail salon is sometimes intimidating. But, this salon is full of super-nice girls and they make you feel right at home! Under new ownership, but all the regular staff is still there. I recommend the SPA pedicure! Definitely worth the $40 Open Sundays, so it is convenient. Best time I found is mornings early in the week because its not packed with with ladies. read more

I have been going here for years and have usually been pleased with my experience. Last Thursday I went to have acrylics put on and the man was in such a rush that he made me pay half way. He did not file down my actual nails before hand, or even remove the existing paint. I asked for him to shape the nails differently and he began to, then gave up half way through. He kept grabbing my phone to see the picture of the nails I wanted and scrolling through when I was trying to do it for him. None of my nails line up, they're all different sizes and shapes, and one already fell off. I called yesterday to ask to come in to get it fixed, and he told me they were closing... it was 4PM on a Tuesday when online says they are open until 7. He was rude, in a rush, he did a horrible job, and I will not be coming back here while he is working read more

The people were friendly but the manicure wasn't that great. I could do better at home. Also it isn't that tidy. I would avoid.

Girls are awesome and friendly. Good prices and always a good job. Gel manicure looks so good and never chips.

I am so sad to write this review. This past week was a second time that they weren't open and I had made an appointment. The sign says they are closed on Monday, but this was Tuesday. I had an appointment at 10am (when they open). I waited until 10:30am and no one ever showed up. The owner before this was a really serious person and the service was a 10 out of 10. Whoever owns this now has made a joke out of it. I loved the people, the services were great and the price was fair. All of a sudden, everything has fallen apart. I have found a much more serious salon and was very pleased with the services and the price. read more

1st & last time here. The worst experience ever! Employees had to wear coats while giving manicures, because so cold inside. Pedicure was torcher between having my worm feet taken out of water and ice cold lotions being put on them, not to mention the pain of the pedicurist. My nails were terrible. No greeting upon arrival, just what do you want manny or peddi? I actually had an appointment, gift certificate from family member. read more

I went to Pearl Nails in late July 2014 after being recommended by my hairdresser. I had a wedding to go to the next day and was then going on vacation - we were able to choose polish that coordinated with my dress that I was wearing and would look great for vacation! $30 for manicure and pedicure... both services were amazing! I was very happy with the result. Will definitely be returning again for future occasions! read more

This used to be our go-to place for mani-pedi. We visited 2 weeks ago and were so disappointed. Apparently it got a new owner at the beginning of 2016. It used to be super clean and friendly. Now it has a cluttered and dingy atmosphere. I will not return. Just thankful none of us caught anything as cleaning of the pedi tubs seemed very lax. Also, although very nice, my manicurist nicked me twice. I've never had that happen before. read more

I've been coming to this location religiously for the past 2+ years however have been increasingly disappointed recently. In the past couple of months they have switched management, staff and to an online preferred pre-booking system. I went from being able to regularly come in every two weeks on Sunday's to having to pre-book my appointment in order to be able to use my preferred aesthetician, which once again was slightly bothersome but fine I'm glad they're expanding their business! However the more I've attempted to comply with the new regulations the more of a inconsistent service I've received. I booked my appointment for Saturday morning at 10:30am on Tuesday. Shortly after I received an email asking me to move the appointment up to 11 due to some booking conflicts which was no problem. However when I arrived to the salon at 10:50am Saturday I was then told that my aesthetician was not going to be there until noon today. There were several attempts made to contact her however no one had contacted me to let me know not to make the 20 drive in the rain. They just left me there sitting in awkward silence while they attempted to reach her. She did finally arrive around 11:40. I guess after 2 years they are busy trying to gain new customers and they no longer need my business, rather unfortunate but I will have to find a new place to frequent. read more

Amateur hour here. My regular place was closed due to a blizzard so I found this place on Yelp. The tech who was with me didn't really know how to properly remove the gel polish from my nails. So three soaks in dripping cotton balls later, she scraped and filed the polish off (my regular place uses acetone-soaked cotton and heated gloves that enable wipe-off) my nails in an ordeal that took almost an hour. My plan was to get a new color but after that, I just left. The salon itself was dark and cold. Not planning to return. read more

Best nail salon ever!!! The owners are so friendly and they always have amazing specials!! This is the place to go!!
