Went here to get dip nails with our group. Explained we have 4 people coming for 2 pedicures and 2 dips- showed up and they told us they thought we only meant 2 people so they said they could only take 2. The place was unhygienic, my nail girl used a used, wet, washcloth for under my hands and had residue from other clients on it. The floor had nail clippings and hair on the ground. They had a few people come in regarding appointments and made them wait 30 min as well. Nail work overall wasn't bad but the place just made me not want to come back. Not a great experience! Edited- within 2 days my entire dip nail on my thumb came off and others were cracked/chipped. I do not recommend this place! read more

I went to this establishment about a week and a half ago to get a dip powder manicure on my natural nails. I first thought it was odd that my nails were not being put under the UV light in between each layer of dip. After the woman finished with the dip, she told me to sit under the dryers for a regular manicure with the smaller UV (I think) light. After I left, my nails looked pretty good until I noticed small imperfections such as the color not covering my entire nail. It's now a little over a week since I got my nails done and about half of my nails have chipped and on some of my nails, it looks like a layer of the dip has come off. I have never ever had this experience with a dip powder manicure, and I will not be going back to this salon, nor would I recommend it to anyone. Additionally, when I was in the salon, another woman came into the salon stating she got her nails done the day prior and they already chipped. Considering this salon is in the North End and right by TD Garden, I would have thought the quality would be immaculate, but I have been proven wrong. If you want a good dip powder manicure, I would NOT go here. read more

Awesome pedicure. Immaculate salon. Super friendly staff and just an all around excellent experience. Excellent price, too! Highly recommend. read more

Oh man I did not like my gel manicure. Not only was it super rushed, but it peeled within a week. The sides of my nails weren't even painted. read more

I have been coming here for 4+ years now, and I am compelled to write a review. This place was really great, and I am seeing the steady decline. For starters it is not really clean. For $35 dollars a pedicure I would hope for a clean environment. There was cotton balls, hair, etc floating in my "freshly" clean pedicure tub. I almost walked out, after I realized what my feet were sitting in. Then, the waxing room. Never again. There was green wax everywhere, the sink had hair all over it, and the bed was disgusting. Plus the attitudes of the staff, would not make anyone feel relaxed and welcomed. Additionally, the pedicures lately have been really rushed and I will not be back. There are so many other "spa(s)" in the area. This place is terrible. Go to C & J Spa around the corner on Salem Street!! read more

I love the French manicures here! They always last a while even though they arnt gel. The only reason why this salon is a 4 is because the pedicures are ridiculously expensive and the staff aren't as friendly as most places. Usually I get a big talking to about not getting gel which can sometimes be awkward. However my nails always do look great. read more

Really like MeeLee. Couple of things. Chairs not as comfy as some. Massagers in chair need work-not real power to them. Overall MeeLee (sp?) made it worth going. I also see what others are talking about with how it could be cleaner. Hope to get back there and make an assessment over another visit. Right now I am happy my feet/calves feel so good. read more

Disappointed. I just got my nails done and they are already cracking/breaking. It's dip powder and I got them done 3 days ago. Im not doing anything different in my routine. Not really loving this. read more

I moved to Boston about a year and a half ago and I find it incredibly hard to find a good and caring salon after going to the same one for 18 years. The location is conveniently on Hanover right across from the BPM and Haymarket station, they take walk-ins and reservations, and they have a plethora of nail polish colors. The service was good but fast, the color has lasted me about 1 month now and still looks good (pedicure) and the price was right. Where I'm from, going to get a pedicure takes about 1 hour and it comes with a complimentary massage and amazing customer service. It actually really surprises me how little quality goes into the nail salons here unless you're paying for an over priced pedicure somewhere posh- good customer service should come no matter the price! For the Boston Proper way, this place is considered great though. The MAJOR downside to this place was that the customer service is slightly lagging. I waited around for a pretty long time just so that I could pay. read more

**Editing this review, went back recently for an appointment with a different tech, decided to give them a 2nd chance. The new tech did an okay job. At the end she added a $4 charge to my acrylic refill, that was for cutting the nails down! I'm sorry WHAT? I dont appreciate inconsistency and when salons nickel and dime you for made up services. Now i deff wont be going back. I didn't have time to get to my usual nail appointment in Medford. And luckily I stumbled upon Amy's nails on my way home. I decided to go in, wait time for a walk in on a Thursday @615pm was about 20 minutes, not bad considering I didn't have an appointment. Clean place/ limited color selection Now here's where my dissatisfaction begins; the nail tech that was assigned to do my acrylic refill botched my nails. First of all, the pink powder for my refill ended up all over my cuticles and on my actual finger, she didn't do a good job cleaning up at all, I had to go home and shape and peel the gel powder away from my nails, she was extremely aggressive when filing my nails with the machine, when I had mentioned that my nails are uneven and too thick and asked to adjust, I got attitude. For a $30 dollar acrylic refill + fixing 2 nails, I do expect a good job! If I'm unhappy with the shape, or find you to be a bit aggressive, I would appreciate recognition and good customer services, not attitude and smack talking to your coworker about me in a foreign language. Everyone has bad days, yet I'm paying for a service, I expect a good one. read more

Went in last Friday for the first and last time for a manicure and pedicure. First up, the pedicure: The woman barely touched my feet. Without getting into too many details, they needed some love and got nothing. The massage was more of an imaginary massage and the chair did a better job overall in that category. Fast forward two days- my nails are already chipped. Major Bummer. As for the nails: I got a french manicure shellac and they are also already all chipped. The woman who did them couldn't make a straight line with the white polish and my nails came out with very blurred lines. After she had finished I noticed that she hadn't done the white tip all the way around, but sort of just trailed off on each nail. Back to the drawing board, so to speak. At the end I just wanted to leave as I was exceptionally frustrated with the experience, and with myself for not going to my usual ladies at Nail Sensation in Charlestown. To top it all off, the total for a french shellac and pedi was $63. I was astounded. I couldn't believe how much I was paying for such mediocrity all around. Save yourself the time, frustration and a long-winded yelp review: Go to Town Nails or Nail Sensation in Charlestown. read more

Long lasting pedi. I walked in without an appointment to get a simple pedicure. I received good service by a young girl named Judy. I was very happy with the job she did and even happier to see that the color lasted for several weeks! read more

Amy Nails & Spa - Walking the Freedom Trail and stopped in here for a manicure. What a great group of talented ladies! - Hair Removal Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

All around good job. I have no complaints. Nothing outstanding, but that's to be expected when you go at lunch time during the work week. I'm overall happy with the results. I would definitely recommend Amy's. read more

Nails? Sure. Spa? Not even close. Unless you like a TV blaring the Katie Couric show and patrons talking at FULL VOLUME on their cell phones (yes, 40-something blond with aluminum foil on her fingertips getting a pedi today, blathering for a full 30 minutes about how she should start working out again, and "AMY OMG how cute is your skirt!"... I'm talking about you). Pros: They take Amex and other cards, though not for tips (fine) and are inexpensive Cons: See above plus sad decor and uncomfortable steel folding chairs for drying time, cramped waiting area and not terribly friendly staff. To be fair, manicure and pedicure quality were fine. read more

Once again my nails look AMAZING. I went in without an appointment and with my luck I again got Mary - the best nail tech I have ever had in Boston. I had let my nails grow out and wanted to shape them into an almond shape which I don't usually do. Mary did an excellent job of both shaping my nails and helping me pick out a color. I plan on booking her the next time I come in as well! read more

I liked how she did my nails but I think it's a little bit too expensive. I get Shillac next to my house for $15 as suppose to $30 they charge at Amy Nails.. But the fact that it's too expensive doesn't have anything to do with the service they provide. The salon is very nice, clean and modern. read more

I live in the North End, so Amy's Nails is very convenient for me, and I like to patronize neighborhood businesses. I have been here 10+ times since moving to Boston five months ago. I've gotten manicures (regular and shellac,) pedicures, and I've gotten my eyebrows waxed. The ladies here are friendly, but unfortunately, the quality of the service varies vastly depending on which tech is on duty. Most recently, I had two manicures in a row ($14 a pop) that chipped within a mere couple of days, and my last pedicure ($28) was rushed. It probably lasted fifteen minutes total, from beginning to end. The prices here are high, and it feels like their quality of service doesn't always match that. Amy's Nails, I really want to be repeat customer, but you need to step up your game! read more

I broke my wrist almost 4 weeks ago and came here today for a pedicure as it is very difficult for me to do a lot one handed. Upon walking in & asking if anyone was available for a pedicure- I was told to go pick a color then have seat - mind you, no one told me which seat to sit in. The technician then watched me struggle to get my coat & shoes off - NEVER ONCE OFFERING TO HELP. I then finally seated myself. Once finished, I was moved to the drying area where it doesn't seem the fan was working. I sat there for a while. I then left. Upon coming home - I realized my nails were totally smudged because they were not dry enough - having no to redo them on my own one handed. I will NEVER RETURN to this salon. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! read more

Still sitting here drying my nails as I see the cuticles that were not manicured at all. I could have saved myself the money and did a better job. I guess the glasses she wears need to be stronger. She didn't say hi, goodbye or thank u. Zero massage. Not coming back. Will go to my usual spot, Secrets. #farbetterservice read more

Long time customer, went in today and because I didn't have an appointment I was treated with such disrespect, yelled at in front of everyone, and ultimately I just walked out. I have never been treated like that in there before and I have never made an appointment before. This was very disappointing and I won't be going back because of this embarrassing experience. read more

Been going here every two weeks for two years. I live in northend. I don't write reviews often and I actually don't rly like getting my nails done but Amy does such an amazing job and its so clean pleasant and nice there that I am now a nail addict! Seriously it's so nice going there and everyone is like a family. My girl amy is absolutely phenom. Love this place and highly recommended for supreme nails and very inexpensive. read more

Amy Nails & Spa - Hair Removal Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Worst nail salon I've ever been to in my entire life. First of all, customer service was excruciating because all the women treated me subpar. Maybe because I'm a younger client of color as opposed to the affluent white women they're used to serving... They gave me attitude about everything: not wanting to make an appointment, wanting my nails long, asking them to file more for the shape I wanted, an extra coat of polish, etc. After 24 hours, one of my nails completely came off and when I came back to fix it, a completely different woman gave me the WORST attitude possible in the literal 3 minutes it took to fix my nail. Not 20 minutes after leaving the salon, another different nail came off. For paying $40 (including a 35% tip), I at least expect them to be a little nice to me. All the people in the salon I noticed having cordial conversation but the staff here were so horrible to me. I will never EVER come here again and I will make sure to tell all of my friends and family not to visit here. The shitty service and horrible quality is not worth it at all! read more

Came here because the reviews were good. I made an appointment for a simple gel manicure ahead of time, the service was rushed and the nail tech could not possibly care less. She hardly spoke a word and definitely didn't smile so wasn't exactly friendly and atmosphere is below average. I have had better Gel manicures in Boston that were less than $30 and took their time. read more

This is the second time I've tried this place and I will never come here again. My pedicure consisted of 20 minutes with an extremely rude technition that did not want to be there. Last time they had. O hot water, this time I got the worst, rushed pedicure I have ever had. There are tons of nail places around the area- don't come to this one. read more

This is one of the best nail salons I've found in Boston. I really don't care much about the experience while in the salon, what matters to me is how my nails look and how long they last. I've gotten two gel manicures here with two different nail techs, and they've both lasted a ridiculously long amount of time! I've tried gel manicures other salons but none last nearly as long as the ones from Amy. I was able to walk in and get an appointment both times, and the techs were very polite. I was really indecisive about what color I wanted the most recent time I was there, so I appreciated the tech's patience and assistance in helping me decide. If you want a perfect and long-lasting manicure, definitely come here! read more

Nice open and clean space. This is a good place to go with a friend or two because there is plenty of room for everyone. They lose one star for inconsistency- I have had one of the best manicures here and one of the worst. It really depends on who you get. They are priced similar to other North End nail salons, but higher than the usual $35 mani pedi on Newbury. Also they only accept cards for $10+ and you cannot tip on a card. There is a Bank of America ATM close by. read more

I tried one other nail salon in the NE and it just didn't compare. Amy's is a great spot because they have lot's of technicians working so you don't have to wait really and lots of good color choices. I use gel colors and they have a huge selection. Also, if you know of a specific color you like you can ask for it and usually they find it for you. Pedicures are great, my toes always come out perfect afterwards. Not the best place for "relaxation" as it's always very busy and loud in there. But I think the aftermath is what matters, how your nails and toes come out looking. Also, very reasonable prices. read more

My pedicure was painful and my callouses were just brushed over one time, lightly, with a little pad. The only part of my feet that look better is that my toenails are polished. - revision: After getting home and looking more closely at my feet, i realize that even the nail polish (as mentioned above) was not done well- it does not cover my toenails down to the base of my nails. If I had noticed this at the time I would have said something or requested my money back. And this review would be zero stars if that were possible. read more

Really disappointed. wont be back... The manicure was the worst manicure I've ever had. Soaked my nails in water only, scraped them a bit, I had to ask her to clean under my nails, she barley clean my cuticles, I could have done them myself. she didnt even lotion my hands The pedicure was terrible, just a wash a little rub and she didn't offer the paper flip flops I had to walk barefoot. read more

The staff here was very nice, but it was the quickest, skimpiest, most rushed pedicure I've EVER gotten in my life - I was in and out of that chair within 25 minutes. There was no massage, just a very quick rub of my calves - she didn't even do my feet. She only trimmed/filed my first 2 nails and not all of them. As I type this I can feel the nails on my smallest toes scratching against my socks. At the end of this rushed treatment (the salon was not even busy, by the way) I asked why she skipped the massage? She replied that she did do a "short massage" and that to get more than that I'd have to pay for a spa/deluxe massage. I have never gotten a pedicure somewhere and had them skip the massage. I had actually really looked forward to that part of the pedicure because my feet were hurting. On top of their already steep prices, they want to charge extra for the massage part. Unreal. I won't be back. North End Nails down the street is cheaper and they include a massage in their pedicures like all the other places I've been aside from this one. I left with my feet still sore, and long toenails with sharp corners. Thanks, Amy Nails. read more

I followed Amy from Ashasi nails on Hanover to her new salon. I just LOVE it! The best part of this salon is how CLEAN they are here! Most salons just pull their tools from a box stuffed in a drawer somewhere, and god knows where those tools have been used before you. At Amy Nails, all of the girls put their tools into a disinfecting machine after each use, and take them out of that machine before each use. They use brand new foot scrubbing sponges for each pedicure. They have a HUGE selection of colors (especially gel nail colors) On top of that, all of the girls there are SO friendly and they really do a great job! I love this place and highly recommend it! read more

**BEWARE**!!! On first inspection this place looks fine and I received a decent pedicure with no issues that I was aware of. Roughly a week later when changing my polish I noticed that both of my big toenails and one smaller toenail looked white underneath on about half of the nail. Seems that I contracted some type of toe-fungus from them and had to cut off all portions of the nail that had white under them (which actually wasn't even attached to my skin anymore) so now I can't wear any open toed shoes for the rest of the summer!! it's surely embarrassing and gross to have to post this but i don't want it to happen to anyone else! And I can ASSURE you that's where I got it because I literally have been going to the same nail person/place (Tina @ Cambridge nails on Cambridge street) for about 12 years and never had this happen before. Even after moving to the North End I still normally commute over to see Tina but I had a wedding to go to and was strapped for time so I decided to just try Amy's that one time. Big mistake!!! DO NOT RISK IT!!! PS - I have also filed a complaint with the health department/inspectional services read more

Amy's was recommended to me by my hotel front desk. The place was busy and there was a very short wait for after work. Excellent service and the prices are amazing! I would definitely recommend! read more

I come here every 2-3 weeks since moving to Boston in September. I try to call ahead but I have never had a problem getting right in for a gel mani or pedi. The most I have ever waited is 5-10 min on a busy day with no appointment. The staff is friendly and everyone does a great job on nails. I would recommend making sure to get three coats of polish before the top coat. My nails tend to last much longer that way. Amy's is affordable and perfect for a quality mani/pedi. read more

I am surprised by some of the negative comments on here. Some of these people sound like they would be unhappy with just about anything. I have been coming here since they opened 1-2x a month (so basically 100s of times) for mani/pedi and eyebrow waxing. I can tell you these ladies are good at what they do, nice and very accommodating. I do not go any place else and have been in many salons in Boston previous and was not impressed. I recommend this place to many friends who also love it and say they are the best. Keep up the great work Amy's! read more

This place hands down does one of the worst gel manicure's in Boston. I have gone here a few times now as I wanted to give it a chance to redeem itself but every time the gel starts chipping and peeling within one day. This is totally insane to me as other salon's I frequent the gel lasts as long as 3 weeks. I have no idea what they are doing wrong in the process but it simply doesn't last. Sure its a good value but don't expect the polish to last more than a day or two and don't expect a warm reception when you stop back in to have them fix it. read more
