I have been a client of American Nails almost since their opening twenty plus years ago. I love this family run business especially being able to watch their family grow up. John and Lynn are wonderful people. They employ the newest advances in nail care and keep their client's wants and needs in mind. I highly recommend this business. Come in and experience American Nail's vibe. read more

I love American Nails! My nails used to dry out and break quickly but because of the products Lynn and John use my nails are now stronger and healthier. They were about the seventh nail salon that I went to in the area and I'm sticking with them. read more

Lynn and John are nail masters! I get powder dip nails. The "dip" nail: they don't dip your finger in the powder (ewwww - how many nails get dipped in same powder!) as other salons do. They dip a brush in acetone, then dip the brush in the powder and meticulously paint it on your nail resulting in a thin, clean, even layer. I've never seen dip nails done this way other than their salon. Their artistic, creative designs are top notch. read more

They do an excellent job every time and provide lots of options. Now at least my nails are ready for the wedding this weekend! read more

Walking in as a new customer I felt completely welcome( which isnt always the case for nail salons) There is an abundant number of colors to choose from. My nails came out lovely. It was clear that all clients that were there had been there many times before. Refreshing. read more

Great atmosphere genuine owners and fantastic work done! I will definitely recommend and be a permanent client

This place is your friendly neighborhood mom and pop nail salon. Nothing fancy but my nails always come out great! They have one of the largest nail color selections and they are nearly all OPI which I appreciate. Also, they offer a variety of services such as gel, acrylic, dip powder, pink & white. Lastly, this is one of the few nail salons in the area that does acrylic! Very affordable and very friendly. Have been going here for years now. read more

American Nails - gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Niantic, Connecticut

See all

Love them here- they are always fast and friendly- and they do a fabulous job every single time!

I had one gel manicure here and won't be back. I didn't know I would need to go back and have the gel removed - I tried to take it off myself - and ended up ruining my nails. Layers of nail peeled off and they were thin and very breakable for months - and from research I've done, I guess this can happen even if you have the gel removed by a salon. Apparently, the process in itself is very bad for nail health. Plus, the guy who did my manicure hurried through it and didn't even seem to be looking at my hands while he worked. All in all, wouldn't go back. read more

Won't go back there. The woman doing my pedicure broke my nail which had acrylic cause it previously broke from an accident then put my foot in the water. I specifically asked just before putting my foot in to glue what she broke before water got in and she argued with me. During the pedicure she spoke on the phone and when she finished the call was listening to music through her phone. Rude much. Will not recommend this salon to anyone. read more

i live in niantic and this is my nail salon. they are the best. prices are up front with no surprises. waiting time is next to none. friendly and dependable service---like a second home. read more

Ok the good and the bad--first the good-They do a wonderful job!. I have been going there every 2-3 weeks for about ten years and have never had a bad experience with the quality of the work. Everyone comments on how lovely my nails are. Secondly, they are the cheapest I have found in New London County, and I am cheap so that really means something. Now the bad part. If you are expecting a ,"SPA" experience, bring your wallet to the casino or the Red door or someplace like that. Getting your nails done here is more like getting them done in your Aunties kitchen. The kids might be playing a video game on the couch, or watching TV. The nail lady might take a phone call from her mother in Viet Nam. If you are easy going and don't mind the informal atmosphere, this place is great. If you want a getaway, you will have to spend a lot more money someplace else. I go there for nice nails at a good price so this is MY nail place. Then I can take all the money I save after a year and go to someplace where I can really relax, like the Bahamas. read more

I've been going to American nails for about a year now, but I've decided to go to another nail place due to the fact that everytime I go back there the service gets worse and worse. The women there are constantly one the phone (Which I find distracting and quite obnoxious) and there are constantly chuldren running around yelling. One afternoon I went in and was waiting for 30+ minutes when there was only 1 person getting their nails done. Even when hardly anyone is there I find myself waiting for a rather long time. The last time I went in, I had to take off MY OWN NAIL POLISH, so the person who was doing my nails could talk on the phone...and when I got a pedicure there, they ran out of flip flops for my feet and told me flat out "to sit there and deal with it''. My nails always looked amazing, and lasted for a long time when I first starting going there. But now my nails break after about a week, the polish chips off, and my natural nail underneath the acrylic nail, is turning yellow. Although they do a wonderful job for walk in's, I would not reccomend to keep going back there. I want a relaxing atmosphere, not people talking on the phone constantly, children running around, and having to wait over half an hour for no reason. read more
