the service was horrible; first impression was the last one. The basic pedicure is no foot care just plain water, no massage (PLAIN). They do not talk clients no happy face very unhappy, it was the first visit looking for a relaxing visit. The customers were more pleasant than staff 85.00 dollars yesterday for nothing, and no oil or lotion on my feet. I thought this was a place to continue service NOPE! i HAD A MALE TECHNICIAN HE SAID NOT ONE WORD! NO HOSPITALITY! PLEASE DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY THERE! read more

So sad, I've been going to this place for 4+ years and within the last year the quality of work has gone down and the prices continue to go up. I never mind spending money on a good mani/pedi but almost every time they are rushing. I understand they are trying to get people in and out, but they clearly take on way too many customers at once. I'd rather be told to come back than sit there and wait for up to 30 minutes and then clearly be rushed because theirs other people waiting. My most recent manicure was so disappointing, nails all different shapes and so thick. Those photos are right after they were done. I love Abby and I've always loved the cleanliness, but they've really gone down hill. read more

worst experience that I've ever experience. the nail tech was very nonchalant and acted as if she didn't know what she was doing. I had to guide her through my pedicure and instead of being open to correction she had an attitude. once she started my manicure I didn't even allow her to finish. I waited to see if she was going to clean and soak my nails once I realized that she wasn't I asked if she can and her response was "no we only soak and clean for regular manicure". I explained to her that was unsanitary and the purpose of any manicure is to thoroughly clean and replenish the nails. 0/10 experience and I will NEVER return. read more

I always get great service here . I come in with an idea and the shop staff is able to give me exactly what I want . Always remember to tip your nail text. They work very hard to create art on our fingers and hands. Not to mention hands and feet are pretty gross . If you can tip your waitress or your bartender or your hairstylist then tipping your nail tech is a no-brainer . read more

They take walk-ins and appointments but be prepared to wait either way. Have made appointments here but have walked out due to waiting 15+ past my apt time. Once before I had a great spa gel pedicure but the other services were rushed to keep up with customers as it always seems to be behind schedule and rushing. I asked for gel extension nails for my wedding nails and she sold me their GEL-X nails which were rushed as a party of girls who also had an appointment walked in during a time that felt overbooked. The Gel-X felt cheaply done and had to end up getting them fixed by another salon a week later! I do not recommend their GEL-X nails if you are used to gel and acrylic nails from the past as they are not done in the same method. I did find out they changed ownership so if you used to come here, know it's under new management maybe that's why it isn't as good. Convenient location but never run as seamless as other nail salons. The vibe of the place is ok but it's not very relaxing but very clean and good color choice. A lot of their polish seemed old in their shelves as it was separating in their bottles and could see them thick and clumpy. Really want to like this place but every time it's disappointing read more

after Abby and Kai sold a few months ago, everything has gone downhill. It takes them two hours to just do my gel manicure. My cuticles are barely cut. When I asked them to fix things, they just laugh at me. I don't know if that's the English barrier or what. I like their cleanliness and their wide variety of colors, but even my pedicure lasted 20 minutes and my feet were only in the water for three of those 20 minutes. Been going for years and not sure I'll go back... read more

I came here an hour before closing because both my daughters needed manicures & pedicures. I was taken IMMEDIATELY! Excellent service and the salon was so clean & bright. We'll be back. read more

This place is clean and friendly. I am not a person to get my done regularly, when I do this is the 1of the places I go to. I drive 3 towns away. My cousin reccomended it and I have been coming here as 1 of my top places for pedicures. There is a Starbucks in the same plaza which is an extra bonus read more

S&S Nails & Spa - Pre vacation pedicure! - Nail Salons Near Me - Meriden, Connecticut

I don't typically leave a review, but this is in hopes that the owner may see this and train some of her staff better. Last time I went I had a similar experience. I went back because I had good experiences when the business first opened, but now it has become a trend. I got these nails done yesterday. Two have already chipped and my pinky and ring finger are scabbed/swollen over from being cut. With the price of $90 for a gel manicure and pedicure, and being expected to leave a 15% tip I think this was ridiculous. The only reason this has 2 stars is because I really enjoyed their pedicure even though I have a paper cut from the callous scraper. Will sadly not be coming back :( read more

Had a horrible experience with a pedicure. The woman doing my pedicure cut me badly when cutting back my cuticles - causing my toe to bleed a great deal. She had trouble stopping the bleeding and another nail tech had to come over to assist. The other tech had no gloves on & when she applied the liquid from the bottle to stop the bleeding, she touched the tip of the bottle directly onto my bleeding cut - and who knows how many other people she's done that to. I'm still in pain a few days later & am hoping I don't get an infection! read more

I came in to this fake bougie establishment for a pedicure on my day off and it was an awful experience. I was met with the amazon nail tech looking into my shopping bag telling me I spent too much money, that was the first order of business, instead of a Hello how are you today. I told her No, I spent well and it is actually too much to pay $30 for a pedicure with no other treatment and rude people. This was Followed by her criticizing me for choosing the length of how ( I ) want my nails cut. I recommend she leave her misery at home and find a new job if she can't work respectfully with the public. This is a shame because we are the ones spending the money, go elsewhere if you want to be treated with respect. Not to mention the water was scorching hot and my pedicure lasted all of 10 minutes. These nail salons are truly starting to get out of control. read more

Went here for the first time for a fill. The woman was fast and didn't speak a single word to me. The nails looked pretty good when I left 3 out of 5 but within 10 days they were all lifting. The coat was so thin, I could literally peel them off. The actual fill cost $60 plus tip. For that, I should not have to go get the nails done somewhere else after 10 days. My advice to you, go elsewhere. I've had gel fills for over 10 years. Never have I ever had them lift, chip, or peel off (especially after 9-10 days). Save yourself time and $, go elsewhere. Poor products. read more

Possibly the worst nail salon ever. I called to get a quote for my nails and was told $60. When I check out it's somehow $85 and the woman is demanding I leave a tip . In total I spent $90 when I was told $60. On top of being cut during the process, on multiple cuticles. When I called to speak to someone they argued with me saying I didn't know what I was quoted and all this other stuff. Rude workers, horrible service, and overall a giant scam. read more

; the best nail experience I have had in such a long time. I was traveling to visit family and wanted to squeeze in a mani/ pedi before festivities. I called as they opened on Saturday and was told to come on in. I was greeted and seated immediately. They have a wide range of name brand colors all color coordinated which makes it easy to pick out a color. I thoroughly enjoyed the 5 min foot and neck massage and the paraffin wax for the heels. The pricing was reasonable the facility was immaculately clean and they followed health and safety. I will definitely return when I am in the area. read more

Went as a walk-in for mani and pedi. Girl was very inexperienced and did not do a good job with the polish so someone else did my French. Owner came over and charged me the full price. I was I. The chair 1 hour and 20 mins and could not get my manicure. Not going back there. read more

Peony is still in business, now S&S Nails. Despite the notice they were closed I took a drive by to delightfully find they are still at the same location with a new name. I inquired, and they have the same owners. As always, my nails were perfectly done, the extra services (hand massage, back massage) are great! I have been here three separate times and have always found it friendly, clean, and attentive. Now I shall copy this to S&S Nails and Spa! read more

Over charged me for my nails after i corrected the worker on the design. It was supposed to be 65 and they charged me 80. My friends got very similar designs (one person had a more difficult design) and were charged 60-65. I will not come back again. read more

First time and I won't be back. Put my foot in hot water without checking first and then when I was getting a pedicure, the worker use the foot scrub in the top of my foot and broke skin. He ignored it as if he could not see it but it was clear as day. My feet are now hurting when applying lotion. read more

S&S was bought out right before Covid however the service has remained excellent! This is one of the cleanest nail salons I've been to. I recently went after they reopened after Covid and they are following State health requirements and still providing a quality experience. If you go, be sure to get the extra 10 minute Reflexology- you won't be disappointed! read more

Have only been for pedicures, both time has been a great relaxing experience. Place is always clean and employees are nice

NEVER GO HERE. Worst nails ever and the employees constantly cut your cuticles. Worst acrylic nails I have ever gotten in my whole entire life. And a waste of 60$ for a fill. Way too expensive. read more
