    Unfortunately, ruined my nail beds. Was somewhat of a painful experience. Took weeks for my nails to grow out to be healthy again

    Been going for years , they always are the best and you can't go wrong with anyone you see !! Definitely best nail place in beacon hill by far ! Always a relaxing vibe and great customer service

    Nails looked amazing right when I got them done, but did not last at all. I got a dip manicure last Saturday, which typically lasts 4-6 weeks. On Wednesday the top layer had already started to chip - not worth the money

    This pic is after a week! Sorry if my toes look dry and mangled. Polish is still on!

    Like most salons in Back Bay and Beacon Hill, you get a good deal for $35 for both pedicure and manicure. I love the massage chairs and the friendly ladies who work so hard to make a living. I had a good experience here twice and I like this location in Beacon Hill. It's quiet as it is in the basement. It's also very simple salon and my recommendation is to make the reservation first unless you want to walk by like I did last minute. Not bad for the money your paying.

    Would not recommend for dip nails. Uneven shape, air bubbles, missing color pigment.. cut twice.

    My classic manicure

    My manicure was a efficient and a great experience. I got a classic manicure using my go to color mademoiselle She wore gloves, mask and I felt very safe with the plastic coverings in between. She also gave me a relaxing hand massage which was a nice bonus.

    This is the worst manicure I ever got. The nail tech cut me and half my nails are short and the other half are long. She didn't even bother cleaning under my nails when she finished. Literally flew through everything and still charged me $40 for a dip manicure. I didn't have the heart to tell her it was so bad but not a good experience and they kept customers waiting. I'm annoyed bc I booked an appt for today on Sunday and still had to wait like 45 mins without anyone telling me what was going on...

    Full Set ($40) with the Dip Powder extra ($5)

    This salon did a fabulous job on my nails...they were looking pretty rough and dry from a botched gel manicure that I got at another salon a week ago, but my nail tech did a great job reviving my nails and giving me a nice, natural look that I was hoping for. The prices are amazing and it's definitely the best value in the area. The only reason why I hesitate to give 5 stars is because the ambience is a little strange and I do have a little cut from her filing my nails too close to the skin, so I have some bleeding on my finger tip. Overall, I would go back again. If you really value the experience over the product, then this probably isn't a great place for you. If you care more about an affordable product over an experience, then this is a great place to go.

    truly was a horrible experience. the lady was so rude. wouldn't file or clip my nails without being asked. was extremely rushed and did a bad job. have these my dip powder on for 3 days and already my hair is getting caught under the polish. the biggest waste of $45 i have spent. do not go here for dip polish.

    The salon appears clean and bright.

    I went in for a walk-in pedicure on a Saturday around noontime. I tend to judge a good pedicure on two things: callus removal and massage. Unfortunately, both were no good. As a girl who lives right in the city, I do a lot of walking and my feet need a little TLC. A couple swipes of the pumice made no difference for the soles of my feet. My piggies are usually greeted with what I call the Cheese Grater of Shame (lol), but this nail tech did not pay any attention to the calluses. The "massage" (usually my favorite part) was done with a limp, bored hands...Womp womp. My tired feed were wishing for more. The nail tech doing my pedicure seems to be learning English but did not understand much that I said, including my preference for extra attention to my heels. She did a great job on the polish, though, and cleaned up my cuticles nicely. Everyone was pleasant. The salon is garden level and not wheelchair/handicap accessible. Payment by card is accepted, but tips may only be cash-there is an ATM in the salon. No checks. Dog friendly- always a plus! I would consider returning to try again with another nail tech, since the location is convenient and the salon was clean.

    It's a great nail salon but I'm charged a different price every visit for the same service a pedicure and manicure.

Unfortunately, my experience at checkout left a very different impression. I was initially charged $53 for two replacement nail tips, which seemed extraordinarily high. When I questioned the charge, it was reduced to $43, but I still found that excessive for such a minor service. This was my first visit, and while I appreciated Vina's work, the pricing for the nail repairs felt unreasonable and left me feeling taken advantage of. I would strongly recommend confirming the cost of any add-on services before they are performed. For what I paid for two replacement tips, I could have gone to my regular salon and received a full manicure. Great technician, but disappointing and unexpected pricing. Buyer beware.

    I recently saw Luis for a Brazilian (Manzilion? Nah, Brazilian is gender inclusive enough I think)…read more I generally think of a Brazilian as removing all the hair in the area, but in this case I wanted to keep some hair above for a somewhat more natural, masculine look. In any case, this is the only the second time I've had waxing done and I absolutely wanted Luis to do the work, and I'll explain why: First of all Luis was thorough and professional in explaining the options and procedure in advance, and made sure I was completely informed and comfortable with the process. Second, the environment he works in is great. High ceilings, lots of natural light, homey and comfortable. Also I like that he is a sole practitioner so it's completely private. This was especially important to me the first time I went to him since it's such an intimate procedure. He immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Third, he did a great job! Thorough and artful. Exactly what I was hoping for. If this is your first time getting waxed you should know, yes, it looks great, but even better is the results feel amazing - so superior to shaving. Super smooth and more sensitive. Even when the hair grows back no stubble, which I find very uncomfortable. Anyway, if you're thinking about it do it, and have Luis do the job. The experience and results are amazing.

    I received an email from EWC out of the blue with details of 50% off all services through the end…read moreof the year. I had been to a location in Washington DC several years ago, and haven't heard from them since, so this must have been fate! I have had so many bad waxes in the last two years, but decided to take one more chance and booked online with Jenelle (based on a couple of reviews on Yelp). My appt was at 9:15 on a Saturday morning, so there was no wait at all and the salon was quiet. Jenelle is really nice and did an AMAZING job - not one single stray hair for me to tweeze (which is not a problem for me, but I have left a few visits elsewhere practically needing to go somewhere the next day... no exaggeration) and no wax residue on me either. If you have ever had wax stuck to you the next day that just will not come off, you know how exciting this was for me! Payment was quick and easy, they allow a tip to be left on your credit card, but I like to give cash. Thanks Jenelle, and see you next time!

    I had eyebrows, upper and lower lip, and chin done last Sunday. The technician had a nice demeanor,…read morebut her technique left me with sores (that soon turned into scabs) on my lower lip and eyebrow area. Instead of using a single swift pull, this technician (Sheila) used a series of small pulls, which I believe led to the sores. But I'm not sure about that. What I can say is that I'm in my mid-50s, have been waxing for decades, and have never been left with sores/scabs. So this issue is distinct to this visit to EWC in Brookline, MA (and I've been to several others in the area). Additionally troubling is that I wrote a note to EWC stating the above to no avail, even offering to send them photos that I'd taken. Not only did no one contact me, I know they received my complaint because I got a follow-up survey inquiring as to my satisfaction regarding the efficacy of their follow-up. Incredible! You can't make this stuff up. I've even checked Junk, thinking "surely not, surely *someone* would have written back; maybe it went into the Spam folder." Nope. Non. Nada. Anyway, the woman at the front desk was lovely, friendly, chatty, and very welcoming. Despite that, unless I want more scabs, returning to this EWC seems unwise and so I won't.
