Ellen & Max and their team are the best. They are professionals who provide a trusted service, in a very clean environment (no smell, no dust), and I won't go anywhere else. read more

After the state of CT being closed for the blizzard of 2026 yesterday, Ellen was able to fit me in first thing this morning for my requested nail treatment. Ellen did a beautiful job as usual. The salon is relaxing with nice music and HGTV. Ellen & Max are local residents and run a clean salon with talented technicians. Why would you go anywhere else? They're the best! read more

I had a great experience while I was there. Jessica was amazing; she was very tentative, sweet, and took her time. I absolutely loved my nails when I left! However, I spent $53 (plus additional $15 for tip) for a gel French manicure and it's already chipped FOUR days later. Extremely disappointing for the money spent. I also live 16 hours away so I can't go back and get them fixed (was in town for a wedding). read more

Twinkle Nail & Spa - Gel French manicure - Hair Removal Near Me - Simsbury, Connecticut

As someone who hadn't had a professional mani or pedi in the past ten years, I finally got them both done here before my wedding because I can barely paint an Easter egg. I was not sure what to expect but Ellen and her staff were so welcoming and nice. They checked in with me on the services they offer and what I do and do not want. I was SO HAPPY with my nails for my wedding. Ellen, the owner, even stayed past closing time to make sure it was just perfect. I've been coming every two weeks since then. She really cares about your experience. This past week I accidentally cut into my nail while cooking only three days after my mani, so she made time for me to come in and have it fixed the next day. She wants you to be happy and confident when you walk away from her place. She is a very kind person and professional. It makes it a treat to see her every couple weeks. read more

I always go to Twinkle for good service, top cleanliness and organic products. Ellen runs and tight ship!! I always call ahead just to get my name on the list and see if there's a better time of day to come in, but getting in is never a problem and I've seen lots of people walk in without an appointment. Love Twinkle!! read more

Best nail salon in the area! Impeccably clean, recommended by my podiatrist, and awesome experience every time I get a manicure and pedicure. Cheerful, very friendly, and relaxing atmosphere. The salon uses medical grade cleaning equipment to sterilize nail instruments. Nail tools are either sterilized or disposable (one time use). I have been a regular customer for the last 7 months, and will not go anywhere else to get my nails done. The staff are professional and truly exceptional. Ellen, one of the co-owners, does my manicures and my nails have gotten stronger and healthier with their rescue manicure treatment. My nails are growing out faster with rescue manicures, and Ellen provides helpful tips on how to maintain healthier nails and cuticles. The gel manicures, she has done for me, are impressive and last for 3 weeks, sometimes a month. Jay is who I see for my regular and spa pedicures, and he is a great nail technician. Results are all high quality with amazing attention to detail. The spa pedicures, especially the green tea spa pedicure, are a luxurious, pampering experience. While my nails are drying, the nail techs provide a fabulous, shoulder massage which is wonderfully relaxing. The salon does take walk-ins. But it is best to make an appointment, as they will be ready for you with no wait. I highly recommend Twinkle Nail and Spa, the salon is a hidden gem next to Harvest Café. read more

I'm not one to leave results for a nail business, because usually they are all "meh" in my opinion. But I've now been here twice and I LOVE this place. The first time I came was for a pedicure. I called and made an appointment and they were true to the time. Pedicure was really good! Second time, today, I came back to try dip powder. I made an appointment and they took me in for my scheduled time. Staff were friendly too! I usually do my nails myself now but it's nice to have someone else do them every so often. I now may be hooked I went far fetch and requested French, thin tip and more natural looking. Pictures do the rest! read more

Twinkle Nail & Spa Seems to be a hidden Simsbury gem! Located next to The Harvest Cafe, almost across from the International Skating rink, this salon is big, sparkling clean and welcoming! From the soft spoken staff, to the relaxing and softly playing music, and the best pedicure massage chairs I have yet to experience at a nail salon... so far I was enjoying this first experience. I opted for a Urea spa pedicure ($88). I do wish the menu included descriptions of the various services, as I have no idea how they differ, what I ordered, or which I might prefer. Twinkle, your menu needs descriptions of menu items please . The owner (I think she's the owner by the way she greeted us so warmly), recommended this one and it's been a while... I have a feeling this will be an expensive pampering event... starting with the $5 extra for the Opi "premium" gel Polish that will last longer. Honestly, Opi premium polish is no higher than $13 for an entire bottle on Amazon... but with all this Inflation I felt bad to say no, but I will never pay $5 more to use one polish over another again. Since you won't find the information otherwise, I'll describe what the Urea spa pedicure was like. :) Marley was my nail technician and she was super nice and did a great job! She started by putting a lotion from Germany on my legs. Then another cream and massage, then wrap in plastic wrap. Hot towel, more wrap. A little scrub and some lotion on my heels and bottom of my foot, and more plastic wrap and into a plastic bag, and back into the hot water! I was truly a queen for a day and my legs have never been softer! Next was pumicing the dry skin on my feet, and a long wonderful foot massage with lotion from a fancy, magical looking jar (see my photo)! Everything was wonderful! My daughter got a gel manicure and they did a nice job too. These are the only slight complaints I had: 1. Definitely need descriptions of what each variation of pedicures and other services are. These are expensive, so customers should be able to read and see how each differs from the others! They told me, but there are too many. 2. The staff spoke in their native language in front of us, laughing... and enjoying their own company while with us. This may not matter to most people, but personally I tend wonder if they're talking about us, and laughing. I have left other salons for this reason, so I hope this isn't what happens the next time I visit. 3. There was no after service massage that most nail salons provide these days. To be honest, Marley gave me such a nice foot massage I didn't even miss it. I mention it so you won't be disappointed. I think knowing it's not going to happen helps ease any disappointment. For a gel manicure for my daughter and this luxurious spa pedicure for me it was $133 plus 20% tip, with 5% discount for cash (they have an atm inside too to make it easier). Yes this is a lot to spend, but again, inflation is horribly high (March 2022), so I'm not really sure how high these prices are. All in all this salon gets a thumbs up from me! The staff is professional, they have a bunch of sanitation awards near the manicure area that unfortunately I wasn't near (will photograph next time). The atmosphere is peaceful... no loud music, and very bright, cheerful and clean. Everyone is so kind, and the gel manicure and pedicure we got were wonderful. read more

Very disappointing! I have been in to Twinkle multiple times, for manis & pedis. Every time I go, there's an upcharge at the register, with no discussion of whether I wanted the extra service or not. What a rip off! I got charged $51 for a gel manicure. The cost they post is $40. Watch out people! read more

My podiatrist told me if I'd like to get a pedicure to go to Twinkle Nail & Spa. She suggested I go here because, their tools are sanitized and everything is cleaned between each customer. I made my appointment by phone for a regular pedicure. This place isn't the closest to my home, but there is no filter when doing my research in regards to finding a sanitized salon. So I took my doctor's word for it. I arrived a few minutes before my appointment, I saw the place was busy, everyone was working on someone. One of the workers greeted me, and told me to pick a color for my pedicure. They had a very large selection of colors, plenty of OPI, Essie, Zoya and others. Interestingly none of them had a white. I noticed this, a lot of the salons keep the white separate. I told them I wanted Alpine Snow, or any opaque white would be fine. I only waited for a few minutes till they were ready for me. There was a plastic wrap in the foot bath, they let me sit in the massage chair while my feet soaked for a bit. I have to say, while the massage chair was nice, I've come across much more user friendly and more efficient massage chairs, at other salons. Then they came to give me my pedicure. They used a hot stone on my legs, massaged and exfoliated my feet and legs. The tools they used on my feet came individually packaged. They asked me before doing anything to my feet. The only criticism I have is I wish my feet were exfoliated some more. They are very professional at this salon. The conversation between the staff is kept to a minimum. The staff wore masks the whole time. They gave me a great looking pedicure with Alpine Snow, which makes my tan pop. I wanted to get a picture of their awards and certifications, but they didn't seem to want me around that area. This pedicure's base rate was $38.00. While I'm happy with the finished result, I'd like to look for a nail salon that's closer to my home. read more

I freely admit as a guy it took me a bit of courage to walk into a nail spa and ask for a pedicure. After having walked through the Detroit airport and gotten one during a long layover, I tried twinkle for my next one and sat next to four other ladies who were chuckling at me and telling me that one side had one I would always return. Twinkle is super clean, friendly and welcoming. Prices are reasonable and fair. Yes guys, we can use their services too! read more

I absolutely loveee my nails! Best manicure I have probably ever had in my life. I am visiting my family and needed my nails done for a family event and they are perfect! read more

Awful experience, i paid $100 (without tip) for a dip nail and extension. At any other establishment this would have been 50, MAYBE 70? But 100 dollars is ridiculous. I will not be coming back- the nails are good and Molly was meticulous, but not 100 dollars good. They also pressured me into leaving a tip... I could go somewhere else and save half that to get equally good nails. Don't waste your time or money here UPDATE: less than a week later and one mail already broke. these people are scammers and don't do good work for the price they ask read more

I stopped by twinkle nails for a gel mani. I called in advance and have no problem with my reservation. My temperature was taken and my hands were sanitized on entry. My nail tech (I forget her name) was very patient and focused. I asked for a unique add-on and they were very gracious to accommodate a new style . The salon is VERY clean and organized. They play lounge music and have hgtv on mute (subtitled). I really appreciate the vibe and atmosphere from this salon. Will update when my nails eventually chip or peel. read more

An excellent place for those of us who keep up our natural nails. I travel a bit to come here because they do Dazzle Dry which is a manicure that is beautiful and longer wearing than a regular polish (about a solid 7-10 days). It's a an awesome, non chemical, non uv light alternative to gel that looks like gel but is far kinder to natural nails. Very few salons do it- so i think they were very smart to invest in this service. The proprietor is kind, friendly and knowledgeable about the nail health. The technicians are always sweet and competent as well. Clean and serene! read more

I don't typically write reviews but this was the worst salon experience I have ever had. Came in with a dip and just wanted a new fresh dip. They obviously overbooked themselves and I was soaking with acetone for over a half an hour, my fingers were absolutely burning. I had complained about not only the time but also that my fingers were burning and they said that my dip was just thick and needed to sit on longer, I knew well enough that they were just trying to rush other people in and out. I wasn't expecting to spend almost 4 hours just for a dip manicure. After she finally got back to me I had already sat for so long once they were removed I had to walk out because I have a life outside of sitting in a salon all day. They left my fingers in horrible condition and still charged me $30 to do nothing but soak off my nails. Overly frustrated and it was my birthday read more

Great place! Clean and friendly. Molly took great care of me. Prices are high, 100 for a full set and 70 for refills. I wish I could afford them long term since they're conveniently located and truly great at their craft but alas the hunt for the perfect salon continues. It was a nice special treat and I would recommend them if you don't mind paying premium dollar read more

This Salon is incredible, super clean, excellent products, great customer service! The Owners are hands-on, knowledgeable and experienced; they go above and beyond "clean", using only the best products to disinfect everything: disposable instruments, special equipment to sanitize items used, a huge purifier to clean the salon air, and mini vents in the table tops to draw in any dust particles. No other Salon goes out of their way to do these things. I am a regular here since their opening 11 years ago, I would never think of going anywhere else. Every customer seems pleased and happy with their visit. Congratulations on a wonderful business! Kathleen/Burlington read more

Very impressed with the quality and durability of their powder gel manicures! I've been going here for a few months now every 2-3 weeks and they'll continue to be my go-to spot in simsbury. They're also super clean and have great protocols in place due to covid including temperature checks. They even gave me a hand lotion for my birthday which was so sweet! read more

Best nail salon I've ever been to! I came here after having to take my acrylics off for work, and my nails & cuticles were terrible & I would also bite my nails. Ellen, the owner, did my nails the first time & she gave me tips on how to maintain my nails & keep my cuticles healthy. Now I drive 40 minutes every two weeks to keep coming back!!!! I've never seen my natural nails so healthy and long. Ellen is the sweetest person ever and truly cares about every customer that walks in. Everything is so clean and their products are high quality. I recommend this salon to anyone looking for a high quality experience! read more

I just finished having an incredible Purisima Pedicure at Twinkle Nail and Spa. I was waited on by Kim. Kim is a long time Twinkle employee and she is amazing! She completely focuses her attention on the client the entire time she is working. While I was having my pedicure, Max and Ellen the owners of the shop stopped by to chat with me and welcome me to the salon. After my luscious pedicure, Ellen gave me a relaxing spa manicure!

Clean, friendly, timely, new/current shades of polish. Comfortable environment. Will return again for sure.

I have been coming to this salon for 5-7 years and the services were always excellent. I just had a pedicure and for $40, it was very disappointing. The tech. did not do massage, use the hot stones, pumice scrub or cuticle clean-up. When I asked for a discount, they told me that everything had been done. The pedicure took less than 30 minutes. I will have to find a new salon. read more

I came here several years ago with my son and we had a great experience, he got a kids pedi. Was back in town recently for a wedding and showed up around 11am on a Saturday morning, sure that I was out of luck. They squeezed me in and did a wonderful job. Everyone is friendly and the work very good, especially for a small town. I grew up nearby and will plan on coming here whenever I am in town. Also, hard to beat an atm with no fees. Blew my mind. Thanks Twinkle! read more

This is literally the nicest nail salon ever! I've been in a lot of Asian owned nail spas but this was by far the cleanest, most modern and actually darling and classy! Everything seems to be state of the art...new and clean. They play nice lounge Jazz music. The owner frequently came by to see if I was happy. I was traveling through and stopped in for a gel manicure it did take about an hour and 15 minutes but a thoroughly pleasant experience! read more

I came in asking for a pedicure and then gel removal on my nails. The pedicure she filed my toes a little raw and it felt rushed and the person performing my service wasn't overly friendly. I got splashed by tech doing a pedicure next to me and my pedicure bath was making weird noises. The pedicure came out looking ok. For my nails it was $10 to just get taken off but she insisted my nails were damaged and needed repair and kept pressuring me into a repair manicure. I purposely didn't book another gel manicure there since they hadn't lasted for long in the past. I finally just gave in even though I really didn't want to spend the money and what a mistake.. the woman filed my nails down sooooo much to prep for the strengthening polish stuff that I left with paper thin nails worse than if I just soaked off the gel and never got a manicure. That very same day they had already broken on multiple nails. It was horrible and I won't be back. read more

I went here before my wedding last year and then again last week before my sister's wedding. I have never gotten a pedicure before where the salon actually sterilized the flip flops that we brought! I was very impressed. And the first time I was here, I had a headache, which disappeared after the complimentary massage. Customer service is impressive. We watched as a woman selected her nail color, had it tested on one nail, approved it, and then demanded that her nails be redone because she didn't like the color. The owner came out and redid her nails. And this was a very busy day when several drop-ins stopped by and had to leave because there were no free manicurists. The bowls of hershey kisses are a nice touch. read more

I went to this spa when I visited a friend this summer in Southwick Mass. The staff was so friendly and you didn't feel like were were being talked about or criticized under breath. I love the massage they give with your mani pedi. They treated their staff so well, even treating them with awesome Vietnamese cold coffee. This is my new favorite and will be a go to from now on. Very clean and new nail files each time. Attention to cleanliness and detail. Massage was fabulous! Hot stones were such a plus.! read more

Myself and two friends from out of town went to this salon on a whim to have pedicures. I don't normally go for pedicures but decided to give it a try. We called ahead and the woman on the phone booked us a 12:30 appointment. My technician was Bella and she was professional and friendly. The place was clean and the instruments used came out of a sealed package. On the way out I messed up a toe and the owner sat me down and redid it. If I lived local to this place I would definitely go more often. I don't think you will be disappointed in the leve and quality of service. read more

I must first note that everyone in the salon was super kind, polite, and pleasant. The shop was very clean and had a very nice vibe to it. I am new in town and was looking for a nail salon to go to on a regular basis. I called ahead for a dip manicure. I saw the glowing reviews of this place and decided to give it a try. First of all, they had me soak my nails in acetone for about a half an hour which made my fingers turn white and burn. Yuck. Never have I ever had to soak my nails that long to remove dip/acrylic. The method that the woman used for the dip manicure seemed strange. I have had my nails done many times and I've never seen this method before. She kept having to redo a few of the nails because they came out bubbly and gross looking. After over two hours of her trying to make my nails look okay, my total came out to $48 which is absurd for the service that I received. I told her that my nails looked terrible, which they still did, and she tried to fix it by putting a gel topcoat over it. They still didn't look great although I decided that I have had enough, and I paid and left. I did not feel like being there any longer than I already had been. It is now the next day and my nails are already chipping. This has never happened to my nails before at any other salon. Ugh. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. read more
