    This was just polish!
    Bailey B.

    Update: I went back again and continue to be impressed by the service here. I took my roommate to get gel nails for her engagement and she couldn't figure out which color would give her what she wanted- she showed the tech who nailed it first try. I got regular polish again and it's been 2 weeks- no chips. Genuinely nothing!! And a great price for how long lasting they are. I loved how attentive the techs are as well. He made sure to go back and fix any spill on the sides and was obviously very experienced. It's very calm inside but clean appearing and I appreciate that you can see that they have steam cleaned their materials.

    The only place I will trust with my nails. Professional, clean, artistic and thorough!!

    1) Great for group appointments 2) Easy to set up (group) (+ nail art) appointments online 3) Responsive to messages 4) Amazing service and quite nice 5) Wonderful nail art - did a great job taking some intricate art. 6) Clean shop. 7) Quite nice that pedicures are well separated from manicures. My only advice is if you get nail art, ask for an estimated duration for the work ahead of time and ignore the automated number provided when you schedule an appointment. Still quite lovely and worth the time and effort! Got a ton of compliments.

    I really hate leaving bad reviews and I loved this place the first time I went, but I went back and had another manicurist and he was very nice but it was just an awful dip manicure. It took him hours to do and at the end it was uneven and very thick, and it started peeling off within 5 days! I have never had a dip manicure that took this long or peels this quickly, even regular manicures last longer. Dip typically looks perfect for weeks and weeks. I would only recommend this place if you will be seeing Rachel, otherwise it is not worth the price at all.

    Aer Nailbar is my favorite nail salon in Boston. It's clean and professional. I've had multiple nail artists, and everyone has always done a fantastic job. Most recently, Chloe did my gel manicure. She was incredibly meticulous and detail-oriented. Gel manicures are $48, but there's a 10% cash discount. Expect to spend ~1hr here for a gel manicure, and make sure to reserve an appointment in advance on their website. Lots of street parking available nearby. High recommend this place!

    cut finger from too rough filing job
    Shanna M.

    I have been coming here for manicures for a little over a year. Came today and got paired with someone I'd never had before. She broke skin/cut me while filing my nails. Two different fingers!! I didn't even know it was possible to cut someone with a nail file. I asked if they had any antibiotic ointment and was presented with a bleeding stopper (fortunately, I was not bleeding, it basically looks/feels like a paper cut). Despite me telling her she cut me, she continued to use this rough technique and I decided I wasn't going to risk it with the cuticle cutting and cut my losses and left. Front desk staff barely apologized as they charged me for my pedicure that I had just before. I won't be going back there. (I ended up going to a different nearby nail salon because I wanted my nails done for my upcoming birthday and the woman there was appalled at the filing job done here). Photos don't really show it well but essentially two painful paper cuts where my nail meets the skin.

    The nail bar is spacious and clean. Very open and comfortable setting. You pick a spot and the nail technician comes to you with supplies. It was easy to make appointments on their website and check in was a breeze. Min did a great job with my dip manicure. I told him my concerns with my nail growth and he offered suggestions for the next visit. His cuticle work was impeccable. Parking in Brookline is a hassle so do come early to find a parking spot.

    I came in for a dip powder manicure by Min. He did an excellent job and was very precise in his process. I'll come back!

    I really enjoyed doing nails at Aer!! I tried dip powder for the first time and I really liked it! Min is the best :)

    How much is dip powder?

    Not only is it super expensive, they charge $40 just to remove it and did a terrible job. I've had manicures with the dipping powder done all over the country (I'm a travel RN) and this place was, by far, the worst removal and more expensive than… Read more

    Hi do you guys do uv gel sets?

    No, they do not apply UV Gel Sets or apply any artificial nails. Aer Nailbar uses LED curing lights and uses Gel Lacquer from brands such as OPI, Essie, Gelish, Shellac, Bioseaweed, and CND Luxe.

    Would they be able to fix a broken nail if I still want it to be long?

    Yes, they can patch the nails if you want to maintain the length. However, they do not apply any extensions/artificial nails.

She's not judgy, she's not unkind, and she makes the process of ripping your pubic hair out of your body as not-awful as it possibly could be. The room is clean and smells nice. Her assistant Lara is also as kind as can be. She takes cash or checks and everyone is understanding if you don't come by on the regular or have to cancel at the last minute (I disappear for months at a time: my income ain't what it used to be) but if you can only go to one place for the rest of your life for waxing, this is where you should go.

Douja is the only stylist that works here, services are appointment-only and appointments are scheduled with disinfecting time in between, so she and I were the only ones in the shop, and she could do her work just as well with both of us masked. The haircut itself was great -- I used to go to Douja when she was at Sublime Salon in Cambridge and I instantly remembered why. I'm a guy so I don't have the language to tell someone exactly what to do. With Douja I can just tell her how long I want it, maybe tell her about some terrible haircuts I've had while she works, and she's competent enough to handle the rest. Douja herself is also awesome -- she'll tell you exactly what she thinks and wants you to do the same. *Note that this is a new salon Douja started in 2020, so other staff from Sublime, gift cards, etc. are likely different.

My private area hairs HATE being waxed. I always end up getting ingrown hairs after a wax. I have had nothing but issues with waxing, even after visiting European Wax Center. Once upon a time I lived in Atlanta and would get waxes from Andreas, but I no longer live there. STRAVROULA, the waxer, was the absolute best. She works in the basement of a hair salon, but the wax room is clean and tidy. I told her I don't usually wax because of getting ingrown hairs. I was only getting a bikini wax, so she gave me a pair of disposable underwear. I thought that was great and professional. I told her I wanted to try the Sugar wax, as I had read about it, and wanted to try it out. She tried the sugar wax on me and the sensitive skin wax on me. She would use the different waxes for different parts of my skin. She payed attention to me, engaged in conversation and the wax did not hurt as much as I thought. The pain level was about the same with other waxes that I have had. After the wax, my skin was very bumpy and red, but within the next few hours that went away. I wanted to write a review the day I got the wax, but decided to wait because my issues usually pop up AFTER the wax with ingrown hairs, but I can say 1 week later, my extended bikini line is still bump free. I will ONLY be going to STRAVOULA and actually look forward to getting another before my next vacation. Side bar: I always HATE how people who wax you, tell you to come more often to reduce the pain and the amount of hair and I really think that is a myth and a way for the shop to make more money. At European Wax Center they always try and make you buy a package to save $X.00 over time and they wax you so fast, there is no personal touch. I feel that they only care about profits. I felt that Stravoula actually cared about my skin and wanted me to have a great experience. I do not hate EWC, but they are both near eachother and one is franchise, while the other is a small business owner who has been doing this sort of work for 20+ years. Good luck hairy gals!

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.

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.
