I definitely recommend calling ahead and getting an appointment because it's hard to get a walk in slot. Comparable prices to other nail salons for Boston area.

They may not always be super talkative, but that's because they're focused on their work, and it always shows. What I really appreciate is the consistency. My nails last (4+ weeks), my brows always look clean, and I never leave disappointed. It's the kind of place where you can build a real relationship with your nail tech and know you'll always be taken care of.

A variety of colors (and I love OPI) and quality nail polish. I never have to go back to get my nails fixed. Both of the ladies take their time and do a quality job. I highly recommend this place. I will not be going anywhere else!

Another part in my journey for the best pedicure in the north shore/Boston area…read more It was very easy to make an appointment online for a classic pedicure on a Monday morning. I went in and they told me to put my name on a list. I was booked for a pedicure with Di Tran but I'm not quite sure if that was the person that did my pedicure. It was very basic. They didn't really dig for ingrown toenails and that's something I struggle with so it's something I'm really looking for. They did a great job shaping and they were really gentle with my feet. The classic pedicure that I received included light callus removal with a pumice stone, exfoliation, and a massage. No hot towels or anything outside of what I just listed. The technician did an amazing job shaping and painting. I'm in awe really!! I'd go back on the shaping and paint job alone.

It's okay. I usually come here (on and off) because it's in close proximity to errands and such…read more $45 for a refill -- not sure where that price came from but I think it's a lot for a regular refill with plain color. In my opinion, they do their work quickly. I'm usually out of there in under an hour or an hour and a half. Sometimes two hours or so if I get a pedicure as well. The staff is pretty nice, I've never had issues with them. I think the make nail tech does designs but the other ladies don't. Be sure to let them know when you're booking your appointment. Try to ask for pricing over the phone and bring exact cash with your tip. They don't accept tips on cards, only in cash. If you forget the cash, they have ATM inside the salon. It's a $3.50 charge for the ATM. If you use your card to pay for service, it's a $3 fee which I thought is illegal but I'm not 100% sure. It is on a Main Street so you'll need to park in the lot on one of the one way streets. I've never had a problem parking there. I don't suggest parking at the CVS lot because you could get towed. Other than that, decent spot to go to if you need a fix me up here and there!

Incredible experience start to end and my new favorite gel manicure place probably on the planet!…read more You do need to call or text the number on the Yelp business profile to get an appointment (no walk-ins!), but Helena is super speedy about replying and I was able to get an appointment the very next day (could have done same-day too). The place itself is small and cozy but in no way dingy or unclean--the space smells beautiful, looks beautiful (cute decor, bright lighting) and is very well organized. Doesn't have the chaos of a lot of other nail salons and definitely feels a cut above the rest. This place sets a new bar of what a 5-star gel manicure means to me. Helena is masterful in her work and gave me the most beautiful bubblegum/glossy pink, your-nail-but-better look. She was thorough and warm yet efficient, and the end result was perfect. She told me she guarantees her work up to 2 weeks and I think that's a great testament to how amazing her quality is. This was my first time here and it definitely won't be my last.

I get builder gel every 3-4 weeks and it lasts really well. My nails always look great and I get lots of compliments on them. I usually see Mirana and she does an excellent job. I've also seen several of the other nail techs and they've all been great. Everyone is friendly and takes their time to make sure the nails look perfect. They offer drinks and snacks, and the vibe is friendly and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the Boston area. Definitely recommend!

UPDATE: The owner reached out to me directly and apologized for the misunderstanding with the gift…read morecard. I went back today and was able to use it, no problem. There were also some changes I saw this time that have taken effect since the change in ownership - there is now an online booking feature which is great, the massage and overall time with each customer was longer too. The women who work here are still fabulous and I'm glad that hasn't changed. ------------------------------------------------ I hate leaving less than stellar reviews, especially for a small businesses I've gone to for over a decade, but at this point I'm frustrated. The prices are a little high ($45) for a quick basic pedicure (20-25 min). But the women are friendly and getting an appointment is usually easy, even without online booking. What brings me here is that I went to use a gift card given to me for Mother's Day just 2 months ago and was unable to use it. Apparently the management/owner changed since the middle of May, although there were no signs before the change when my husband bought the gift card or when I went this week. What's frustrating is that I wasn't permitted to use it even though up front, before my service I said I had a gift card. As soon as I tried to pay they mentioned the new owner won't take those purchased before she took over. In a way I get it, it's not profits she'll realize, but as a customer what am I to do? It hasn't been 6+ months, there were no signs indicating the owner had even changed. I can't continue to support a business that can't give a grace period to loyal customers. It really stinks that my Mother's Day gift was a total waste.
