While I'm not new to getting pedicures, moving to a new area meant finding a new place that aligned with my self-care routine and standards. After doing some research, I came across Perfect Nails & Co., and what immediately stood out was their strong emphasis on sanitation and the quality of ingredients they use, especially their organic pedicure options. Once I made the appointment, my wife and I went in together. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted and asked to wash our hands before any service. I genuinely loved this policy, every client is required to wash their hands upon entering, which immediately set the tone for how seriously they take cleanliness and safety. After that, my wife selected her nail color, and we were seated. We were given the pedicure menu and both chose the Diamond Organic Pedicure (40 minutes, $60) an organic-based pedicure system formulated to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin. The service itself was excellent. The products felt high quality, the process was relaxing, and nothing felt rushed. You can tell they're intentional about both technique and care. My service provider was Yin, and she was fantastic--attentive, professional, and very thorough. My wife was serviced by Sydney, who was equally wonderful and made sure she was comfortable and satisfied throughout the experience. The overall vibe of the salon was calm, welcoming, and clean - perfect for unwinding. Another detail I appreciated: for clients receiving manicures, they are asked to wash their hands again after the service, which really reinforces their commitment to hygiene. Overall, the service quality, sanitation practices, and relaxed atmosphere exceeded expectations. If you're looking for a nail salon in Vermont that prioritizes cleanliness, organic options, and great customer service, Perfect Nails & Co. is absolutely worth checking out. We'll definitely be back. read more

I've been having my nails done here for nearly two years. I recently got married and had my nails (a fill and shimmer color) and a pedicure (French style) done. My nails usually cost me between $55-$70 depending on design and color (ombré or cat's eye, etc) and a pedicure usually costs me between $55 - $75. I was charged $249 for my services!! I had a $140 gift certificate and after that was used, the balance was $109. The cost did include tips for both technicians who did my nails and toes. I was absolutely flabbergasted and didn't have the time and/or energy to go back to question why I paid nearly double the typical price. The only reason I can come up with is that they raise the price for bridal parties. My Mom, Mother in Law, and best friend all had services done and they paid separately. Although I've always loved the service I've received at Perfect Nails, I've decided I won't be going back. Up charging someone for services because it's a wedding party is just bad business. This is a real bummer. read more

Met Dan yesterday for a fill and color change. I've never had a better nail appointment ! I've been looking for a specific color, but could never find it, sometimes Pinterest isn't giving of specific info. He knew exactly what the color was. My nail were skillfully cleaned up, NEVER LOOKED THIS GOOD ! Would go to him every time ! Thank you read more

Dan did such a great job! I've been to other places and this place is by far the best. Very skilled and friendly staff. Plenty of polishes to choose from if you go for a basic polish. I brought in inspo pics and Dan did not disappoint. My nails came out better than the inspo pic! read more

I went here for a second time the first time being many months ago. I had a bad experience the first time and this time around as well. The service wasn't bad but I am disappointed and not happy with the design. I asked for what I thought was something simple but I guess it wasn't. This is what I showed her versus what I got. She tried a few times but they are just not what I was hoping for. read more

Absolutely horrible service. Made an apt for 3:30 for two people and when we got there they took in so many walk-ins we had to wait till 5 to finally be able to sit. They refused to cut my nails short or shape them how I liked. They rushed us through the service and did an horrible job on my nails. Missed so many spots and within less then 24 hours my nails were already lifting. Save your money and go elsewhere! The owner does not care. read more

Unfortunately this nail salon, I have tried it twice now and just disappointed I got my nails done roughly a week ago and my service was super rushed and done by one lady and another guy that alternated as they didn't have time. It sucked because at the end they forced me to tip both of them which I totally think is fine but they left me in an awkward spot since I think they didn't have enough people to work so they didn't let me leave before scanning both peoples Venmo. I also think it was so rushed and the guy didn't know what I actually wanted. I asked him can we switch it but he said this is the only design that would look good... I felt super pressured and now a week later and all my nails are coming off. Sucks! I spent $100 total on my nails and it just disappointing not having them read more

Typically I've been satisfied with this salon in the past as it is very clean and the staff is nice, I have had to wait for a bit past my appointment time but that never bothers me for the quality work they do. Today I was in for a pedicure. Not happy at all. First I waited a half an hour after they put me in the pedicure chair, my water got cold and when I asked her to switch it she rolled her eyes at me. Second she was being very rough with me to the point I had to ask her to stop being so rough with me and I was very nice about it, but the roughness continued and she did not become more gentle whatsoever. 3rd I asked her a question, on return I got an eye roll and no answer. My toes turned out decent but I'm very unhappy with my experience today. read more

We had reservations for bridal party to have nails done for wedding. my tips were on for over an hour! it's a good thing I didn't need to use the restroom with tips on my fingers. then when we were finally worked on the tech was very grabby and kept tugging on my hand. she could have been nicer about it. they all seemed pretty grumpy and burned out. lacked respect for their customers. i did tell her the tips were too long but she didn't cut them shorter! went to pay and was told they automatically add 20 percent... hadn't had that happen at any nail salon! then the owner proceeded to push me into additional tip! interestingly some said tip was included while others said it needed to be added! pricing was also different for all of us. so over 3 1/2 hours later...we got out of there. I won't go back. not worth it! read more

I had gone to a salon in Saint albans less than a week ago to get a set done, and left extremely disappointed. A friend had recommended this place and I called and was able to get an appointment for Saturday. I went in today and there was no wait, I was started on right away. I had told the owner that I was unhappy with the way my nails were done at the other place and explained to her what I wanted, she proceeded to fix them and was able to get the exact shape/size/color I wanted. Everyone was very nice and friendly. They really take pride in the work they do, and they don't skip out on details. They are CASH TIP ONLY. I will only be coming here from now on. read more

Really great service. Super nice people. Great environment. Terrible nails. I got a gel manicure and within 24 hours one nail chipped and fell off and within 72 all my nails started to peel. This was my first time so I'm not sure if this is a regular occurrence or not. Update: all nails fell off within four days. Gel nails are supposed to last at least two weeks. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SALON!!! I've always been a nail biter, and I've been through years of gel tips. I thought this summer I'd be better off without gel nails, but soon figured out I wouldn't have any nails left. Lee from "Perfect Nails by Thu" did my gel tip manicure and she is a miracle worker!! I've been struggling to find a place that does really good gel manicures and I think I've found my favorite one! Even brought two of my friends and they got mani pedis, and even with a full gel tip set and two mani pedis, we were out in just over an hour. Nothing but good reviews here! read more

I love this nail salon. The staff is friendly and attentive. This salon has a good vibe. I go on Saturdays and its always packed . I do water aerobics and my nails were splitting and awful. Since I've been getting my nails done here (gel) they always look great and look perfect for weeks. I've recommended this salon to friends and they love it too. read more

I went there to get my toes done and to relax before I go on a vacation. First of all the lady was very rude and was talking about my miss shaped toes to another lady which I thought was very disrespectful. But she told me it was good to go and I put the plastic on my toes and one of the nails got completely ruined. Definitely not someplace I would want to go again. read more

I used to love this place and the staff. I stopped going after several bad manicures, but went back today because my friend had a gift card. I could never recommend this place to anyone. They are always rushing even when they aren't busy. I almost always get cut and leave bleeding. Obviously, a rushed manicure makes for a bad one. There are holes in the polish, some nails have 5 coats while others have 3. There is an insane amount of dip and clear coat stuck to my hands. I've been getting my nails done professionally for 5 years now and know what is good and what is bad. As someone who works in a the beauty industry, I hope they can figure it out! No hate, just trying to help others out. read more

Worst place ever do not waste your money. The owner was rude and the nail tech couldn't even shape my nails correctly. They told me they didn't have a color I wanted, and then another employee found the color. Overall unorganized, poor quality. My nails were horrible read more

We had an appt for 3:30 (4 of us) and it took until 5:45 for us to each have a regular pedicure and gel manicures. My nails look like I painted them myself which defeats the purpose of paying someone to get them done. They obviously overbooked and rushed as a result. When I asked if one of the techs could remove gel that was stuck to my fingers, she said "don't worry it'll come off as you wash your hands, I promise." The manicure I received was painful lol. Wouldn't recommend based on this experience. read more

Very disappointed my acrylic nails started falling off within days of getting them done... they were not done properly at all. I called to see if they could fix them and they said that they just don't work on some people... I've gotten them before at a different place and they lasted for a month read more

I am visiting the area and needed my nails done/redone I asked around and 3 diff gals recommended this place . I was very delightfully surprised how busy, CLEAN, and orderly this place is . not like the nail salons back home. The technician did a wonderful job taking off my old acrylics, cutting down my nails, shaping, and doing a very pretty manicure. I highly recommend this place read more

I usually love this place, but the lady who did my nails seemed very rushed, was on her phone many times, over filed my nails, and was kind of snappy. and my nails honestly look horrible. not impressed. read more

Went for the first time last week. Treated like a Queen and they actually honored my appointment time!! Amazing after being SO sick of the sub par monopoly these nail salons have in VT. I've contemplated not getting my nails done anymore. Thank you so much for your amazing service and impeccably clean and positive environment!!! read more

This place is incredible! I have been going to Thu's since college and let me tell you I have never left disappointed! I can just sit and watch in amazement at Thu, Khanh and John's skill of remembering the names of everyone that walks through their doors. It truly feels like a family after visiting them for so long. Honestly don't think twice if you are looking for a place to take absolute care of your nails and toes. Just trust Perfect Nails with it. read more

I wish I could give it a zero. This was by far the worst nail place I've ever been to. They did such a bad job that I asked them to take off the polish so I wouldn't have to pay for it. They cut one of my cuticles and were rushing to finish so much that they didn't even let the blood dry or clean it up before they started putting polish on it. Not only was it ridiculous that they expected me to pay for a bloody manicure, but it's also incredibly unsanitary. When I tried to clean it myself, they took the paper towel away from me and my finger kept bleeding. They rushed so much, the polish was uneven and in globs. I could've done a better job on myself. Before they took it off at my request, they gave me a lecture about how I shouldn't pick at my cuticles, even though they cut it. So rudI'm not sure why anyone goes here. It was terrible. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. This was my third or fourth time coming here and have been displeased with the results every time. the last time I went was about a year and a half ago and after being displeased with my manicure once again I stopped going there. But, when the bride of an upcoming wedding I'm in said she made our appointment here I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought that maybe their service has improved since I was last here. at one point we were the only people there and they were still rushing through all of our nails just to get them oer with. not only did most (if not all of our nails) turn out misshaped, with some of us having polish on our fingers and hands, but after everyone had paid, the bride paying $250 for herself and three of the other girls (one of them being double what she should've paid for to begin with) we were all told that we needed to tip more. the bride was forced to pay an extra $30 for tips because they said that they weren't tipped enough for their poor service. one woman even pulled up a calculator for another girl and said that that was what she owed for a TIP. Not only did we all have poor manicures but the customer service was straw that broke the camels back as I have never written a review before. I will include pictures of my manicure, but mind you there were worse manicures than mine. read more

I am visiting from New Jersey with a friend who lives in Colchester. Yesterday we got our nails done at Perfect Nails by Thu. Let me just say, they really live up to their store name. The salons I have been to in New Jersey, South Carolina, New York, and Florida have NOTHING on this salon. Every time I get my nails done, there is something always slightly wrong -- one is uneven, the shape is wrong, the technician accidentally cuts me, something goes wrong. This place was flawless. Down to asking what shape I like, to making sure that they were doing to the shape correctly, every technician wore a uniformed smock to match, the place was extremely clean, and the technicians were very personable and polite. If I lived in Vermont, I would be coming here once a week. I would love to have a salon like this one in New Jersey. Zero complaints about this salon. read more

Was very happy. I came in with my boyfriend so we could both could our first ever pedicures. They have lots of selections for the pedicure and everything seemed to be really clean, which is something I look for in a nail salon. I also got my first set of gel nails here and they did exactly what I wanted. A few of my nails were a bit bumpy but I don't blame them for it, they were super busy and it was their lunchtime. I recommend scheduling an appointment on a day besides Saturday, because that seems to be their busiest day. read more

Such a great experience, I've gotten both a manicure and a pedicure here! For my pedicure they took me right away as well as my manicure and let me take my time picking out my colors! #indecisive the owner speaks amazing English as does almost everyone but she is usually the first to speak/help you out! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Terrible nails! :( check out the pictures of the pale pink nails. Excessive amount of glue left on the underside of the nail. Acrylic was uneven and thick. Gel color coat is all around the nail not just on it. And I asked for medium to long length not super short! I'm really not happy, there was no misunderstanding about the length either. The technician was the male working there. There were also plenty of pesky flies... Thumbs down! read more

I have been here twice and the second time for the same service, pedicure with powder color manicure I still have not gotten a nice relaxing leg message nor a hand massage. I asked for the powder overlay to keep my nails growing. During the process I noticed my nails looked lumpy and especially my thumb which has a large dip between the tip and nailed. As soon as I got home I took pics and sent a message to the page. I was ignored. I sent 2 more messages asking how we handle this fix and still no response. On the 3rd reach out o mentioned I am a business owner and try to respond quickly to both positive and negative feedback. I guess they don't as I have still has no response. Bummer!!!!! I'll just keep looking for a professional nail spa that takes responsibility in the good AND the bad. Won't go back. Sanitation was low and I'm wondering how they still remain so busy. read more

Absolutely awful, it was painful. They over filed my nails to the point it burnt when they added the gel. Didn't push my cuticles back but managed to cut them with the electric file and made my finger bleed. All of this was after making me wait twenty minutes after my appointment time read more

After a couple of disappointing visits to other local salons, I gave Perfect nails a try! I was so pleasantly surprised by the level of Customer service Kahn( spelling) and the other staff provides. Customer Service is a huge thing for me and they deliver each and every time. They remember your name, offer you drinks and just take care of your needs without rushing you with attitude. The price seems to not fluctuate as much as other salons as well. Visit Perfect nails, you will not be disappointed!! read more

I had a good experience here. I've been struggling to find a nail salon that does a good job. They did a good gel fill and were kind and took their time. The only complaint I have is that the guy who filed my nails down- took away the square shape. They had to build them out again with excess gel and due to this there were two lumps on the nails. I went back the next day and they fixed them though for free! read more

If I could give no star, I would. My mother in law is usually happy when she has her nails done at Perfect Nails, but today the guy that did her nails totally ruined it. I was too embarrassed to say something in front of other people, but I am definitely not scheduling an appt. with him anymore. I forgot to say that he was answering phone calls every 5 minutes while working on her nails without even excusing himself. read more

I never write reviews but here I am. I went to Perfect Nails hearing great things from friends so I was super excited. I had dip powder polish on from another salon and to take it off my hands were soaked in bags of remover... my strong nails were bending with the slightest pressure. I was so upset with how that went that I decided to just get gel. The artist got polish all over my cuticles and almost all the polish has already peeled off a week later. And because of my nails now being so brittle, the gel is ripping them. I'm very displeased. read more

Just awful! Had a pedicure to begin with and lady cut my big toenail so short that it bled. Then I sat in the pedicure chair waiting for my manicure for a very long time (even though I had scheduled appt) and then a lady came over and did a half ass manicure on me while I was sitting in the pedicure chair. She didn't even shape my nails even though I told her I wanted them shaped more and explained how I wanted them. She got nail polish all over my cuticles and skin and left it that way. I could've done a better job at home with my left hand and my teeth! And it was uncomfortable having to reach over to the side where she was standing. The whole thing was awful. And while this is happening they are taking in walk-ins and sitting them at the manicure tables. I just don't get it. Should've refused to pay. Will never go back. Had to go home and redo my nails from scratch. read more
