    Acrylic nails
    Abigail S.

    My nail tech was so sweet and we had great conversations while she did my nails! She helped me pick a pretty accent blue for the dot and took her time on my nails and really did a good job! These nails lasted 5 full weeks without chipping or anything popping off

    This was my second visit to the Ruby's. Terry did my nails, and I love it! She helped me to choose the color and offered to try some of them on my nails to make sure it is the one I want :) It took about 30 minutes for the whole service. I will revisit her in a couple of weeks!

    dip with gel design
    LaTanya R. H.

    I've been going to Ruby's for years since they're very close to Northeastern and participate in fundraisers with clubs there. All the ladies are so sweet and it always feels good when they remember your name. My dip lasts 3-4 weeks and they take a few bucks off if you pay with cash + don't usually charge extra for one added tip or detail like other places do. I highly suggest the techs that have been working there a while compared to the newer ones. Some names are Kelly, Kim, Anna, and Nun. Nun did patterned nails in the picture and Anna did my natural dip, best it's ever come out. Glad they're starting to do more designs :) I'd always call ahead or make an appointment!

    I found Ruby's when I lived in the area and still drive in to get my nails done there. I've been going there for years and I am never disappointed. Each person who does my nails puts a lot of attention and care into their work. The gel manicures I get last forever and rarely chip within the first 2 weeks - and I put my nails through a lot. It's also nice that they remember me, even masked up or when they're really busy. I wouldn't and don't go anywhere else.

    Terry did a phenomenal job on my nails. She was so diligent and really took her time making sure my nails turned out exactly how I wanted. I would recommend Ruby's to anyone!!

    gel mani for $27

    Returned today for a dip powder first try! I think I'll be coming back, they look really good imo! I'm in love with dip powder and how my nails look. I've never gotten dip powder anywhere else, but for $35 I cannot complain. My friends have all gushed how perfect my nails look lol My nail tech was so nice to always ask me if I was okay with the nail shape. I always thought I'm not picky but actually I am, and I asked him to make the oval shape a bit pointier and he was very accommodating and took his time to make sure they were all even and looked the same. My only concern was the cuticle care was done completely dry and I'm sure there's a reason behind it, but it felt a bit harrowing on my poor cuticles. It wasn't painful, just felt uncomfortable. In the end, one of my cuticles started to bleed a little after I had already left. Not enough to detract from an otherwise almost perfect mani

    I haven't been here in a while, but it was super easy. I can on a Thursday afternoon and there was no wait. It gets busy after 5pm so if you don't want to wait come during the day. I was getting dip polish and they had about ~40 colors to choose from. It was a nice selection since I've been to other places where they offer like 10. I had a guy do my nails and they turned out very nicely and I am pleased with how it went. It was $35 for a dip which is the lowest price I've ever had (not including tip)

    Abigail R.

    I came here on my half-day at around 12:30 and only waited 15 minutes! The ladies here are very nice and work diligently. It was my first time getting a dip manicure, as I've always chosen gel. While I thought the process would take longer, I was mistaken. I was seated at around 12:45 and the manicurist was finished by 1:20! My nails were stripped of gel polish, sanded, cut and shaped, dipped, and coated all within that time. I am very impressed with the work and how my nails look! I paid $40 for the manicure and added a tip. Will definitely be coming back for my next set, with a pedi!

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 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.

And there were bits of wax and unattended hairs left on my body. Just go to an independent aesthetician for a better experience, I'm never coming back here.
