The lady that took care of me wasn't friendly. She acted like I was doing her a favor. She wasn't good at doing dip powder nails. She left them thick and the French was uneven. It looked like my 7 year old did press on nails on me. Very dissatisfied and disappointed read more

This is the cheapest SNS dip nails I've found so far in Boston. It was $47 for regular dip and $54 with adding cats eye gel polish on top. I was very happy with how beautiful my nails came out! Definitely a no frills salon, which I don't mind. Only thing is that they did start to come off after 3+ weeks whereas other salons I've been able to have 6 week retention. Still good for the price, though, of course, I prefer for them to not come off till I have them removed. read more

I've gone here a couple of times now. Decent prices, $49 for acrylic set with gel. Quality is good and the people are friendly. Seems like a busy place, would recommend booking an appointment especially on a weekend or evening. read more

They employees are so kind & detailed. They're so respectful and kind to all their customers! I got SNS/Dip Powder with nail tip extensions and design. They also massage your hands! Photos of my nails below!! I've never been to a place as affordable as this one; All of that was offered for MUCH less than $55, which is the average rate for nail tip extensions + dip powder ONLY in Boston. Amy did such a great job with shaping my nails, and she was SO patient with my requests. She was attention to detail and made sure to repetitively ask if I liked what I was receiving throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this place! I couldn't be happier with the results. read more

If you don't want to work, that's fine -- but there's no reason to be rude. The employee I interacted with was mean to me and made me feel really uncomfortable during my appointment. I came in expecting basic professionalism and courtesy, but instead left feeling disrespected and upset. No one should be treated like that, especially in a customer-facing role. read more

Gel Polish chipping after 1 week. Missing a nail within not even two weeks (brand new nail, not filled in). Terrible shaping, rushed design. Very expensive prices do not match the low quality of service. I do not recommend. read more

the man who runs the place and who did my nails yelled at me for asking for gel instead of hard gel. he has yelled at all of my roommates as well. we had a terrible experience. and the cherry on top, his nails are yellow and falling off, raw skin exposed touching all over your hands. no gloves. good prices... but at what cost read more

I started using this salon in 2020 and love it. I almost always walk-in, and they always make time for me. The staff is helpful, funny, and kind-- each time I go we inevitably discuss our families or relationships with a smile. They've offered me bottled water on a very hot day. Most importantly, whatever stylist I see does an excellent and efficient job on my gel manicure or pedicure. Recently, I tried another salon and my gel manicure started to chip/break after one week. A gel manicure at Awesome Tan lasts at minimum two weeks, and sometimes longer. A gel pedi I've had look excellent for over a month or more. I highly recommend this salon for getting the job done right-- I haven't found it's equal! read more

I tried here for the first time today! I was not sure cause it was my first time getting my nails done in Boston. But they were really nice and Cam did a great job! I wanted a clear color, suitable for my job. Great and fast service, thank you! read more

Have had good and bad experiences. My nails (dip and tip) were done well once, fair price. Second time they were not what I asked for and I went back to ask for some help reshaping (showed my picture for inspiration) and intended to pay again for the work and got aggressively talked down to by an employee. She claimed I lied about my desired shape. I unfortunately will be going elsewhere due the interaction more than the quality of nail shape. Did not feel comfortable. read more

I have been coming to this nail salon for years and it's my favorite. No matter where I move to I always come here. Best nails and they get it done exactly how I like it. I have been seen by Claudia, Kenny and Cindy and they are amazing and I am sure everyone else is as well. Highly recommended read more

I can in for a mani-pedi. The pedicure was great! However, the manicure was not so nice, and it started chipping/peeling within hours because it was not neatly applied. I was also charged an extra $7, which I was not told about beforehand for a "special" polish I didn't even really want-- the woman pressured me to try a new color, said nothing about it's cost, and then when the bill came she explained that color was extra. Which, I actually think is illegal in Massachusetts-- you have to make the customer aware of any additional charges before you render the service-- there wasn't even a sign or marker. it felt pretty unfair, but i didn't have any fight in me so i just let it happen. I encourage you to double-check when they are asking you to use something different than what you asked for. I paid the price for a gel manicure but got a regular one because i used a "special" polish. read more

One of my favorite manicure salons. Brought some girlfriends here this evening on a whim and we were welcomed by the head lady in charge full of smiles encouraging us to get manis and pedis. They had 4 staff members on a Thursday night. What made their salon stand out from the rest along Beacon St. is their size- it's quite spacious. The front end of the salon is for manis while that back is filled with foot spa chairs. For gel manicures, they give you a basket full of swatches to pick from as they file down your nails, making the nail polish displays less crowded and overall a more efficient work flow. Their cuticle tools are all sealed and packaged giving you some peace of mind regarding their sanitation. They give you a nice hand massage at the end with a warm towel wipe down. Also included is a small water bottle at the the end. $25 for gel manicure. Very reasonably priced and love the little touch of appreciation with their bottle service. They have a rewards stamp system in place. 10 visits= 1 free manicure. Will come back for sure! read more

Come here about once every couple of months for mani pedis with my boyfriend and we always are super happy with our experience. The staff is hardworking and very detail oriented and their prices are the best in the neighborhood in my opinion. I would recommend calling ahead to schedule services especially on a weekend or night time when they're the most busy. Remember to bring cash for tips! They accept card for the services. read more

Very reasonable prices, nice staff, and good work! Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Well I casually walked into this place and booked an appointment for dip nails! Didn't have any expectation but just for a good looking output!

I used to go to this neighborhood salon and recently have found them rude and dismissive. I made an appointment for today at 130pm with a specific manicurist and apparently there was a misunderstanding as they thought It was yesterday. When I asked if someone could see me Kenny insisted it was yesterday and was rude and dismissive. I also feel they have attitude if you request a regular manicure and not gel or dip....too many other places that are more hospitable in the neighborhood. read more

Love coming here to get my nails done! I usually call a day in advance for an appointment and they can always get me in. I get a gel manicure and it always last for at least two, but usually three weeks. My nails consistently look fantastic every time I go. Prices are quite reasonable. Very clean salon, and the staff is so friendly! read more

I'd have to say, I'm impressed!! I had mani-pedi with Moon. She took her time and did a fabulous job. I was very comfortable due to cleanliness and talent. I will visit here again for sure!! 8/6/18 - there must be new management because almost all of the previous employees are gone. Needless to say, I've been here over a dozen times over the past year. The past 2 times, my nails and the experience were less than ok. I'm not one to complain to someone but I wish I had. My gel nails started peeling 4 days after I got them done. The manicurist didn't seem to care what she was doing. Rushed my mani/pedi and is was very slow in there. My cuticles were cut back way too much. Just not the same as before. Because of my past 2 experiences, I've found somewhere else to go. read more

I have received many recommendations for this spa and rightly so. I went for the first time 5 weeks ago for a dip manicure. There isn't a dip color that is a perfect shade of navy, so they made one for me and it turned out beautiful. I have always done either dip or gel manicures because they last much longer than regular polish for me; however, I've never had one last this long. My last dip manicure from another spa only lasted me 2 weeks before chipping or cracking or popping off. These are still in great shape (albeit need filling in!) and holding well to the nail. I'm very pleased with how they turned out and will be only going here from now on. Great people, great prices, and the best manicure!

i really didnt want to do this i went to this salon in freshman year untill beginning of junior year i got the supplies to do it myself and stoped going the apex of the acrylics are way to big and the nail tips they use are so curved i felt like an eagle the very tips were almost see thorough and bumpy at that the girl tried to put the blame on me that i hated my nails when she never said if you dont like the size we can take them off when she said she did the girl who im assuming is the manager said id be charged DOUBLE to get them off witch is absurd and the girl used the wrong color in my nails i luckly had the tools to take them off at home but i absolutely hated them and the total cost of my services was 100 dollars that 100 buck is down the trash literally i took them off the second i got home if i had the time and bandwidth id sue do not go here very disappointing very sad to see my old tried and true salon go downhill read more

Keny did an amazing job. He took his time, paid attention to every little detail, and listened. He wasn't rushed and my nails came out gorgeous. One of my nails was cracked and started breaking at the skin, he was so careful and made sure it wasn't hurting me. I had acrylics from earlier in the year and he made note of it and took care of them. I'm am so over the moon with his work. read more

It's always a hit or miss whenever I come here. I've had great experiences/conversations with some of the ladies there. I've also had times when my gel mani/pedis have been rushed and sloppy. I was there four days ago and I have never had my gel nails chip like it was regular nail polish! I usually go to Bellacquer across the street, probably going back there from now on. I tried giving this place another chance since it's cheap and not always busy but, you get what you paid for. read more

I got designs on my nails here twice (this past October and last month) and both times, details weren't paid attention to. The first time, squiggly lines were drawn on one of my nails that were facing the opposite way as the same nail on my other hand. The second time, I asked them to draw a heart on one nail on each of my hands like a French tip but they didn't curve the top part of one of the hearts enough so it didn't really look like a heart. They also put oil on my cuticles after they were done with my nails and while I was rubbing my hands together and about to get up from the chair I was sitting in, they said "I need the chair" because another customer was waiting. They couldn't even wait 10 seconds for me to get up. This salon is more reasonably priced than other nail salons but because of that, they don't pay attention to details and rush their services read more

I have been going here since I moved to Boston 2.5 years ago. This past year they under went a management change. They are as amazing as ever. I personally think their quality has gone up. I have gotten regular pedicures and manicures, gel, and acrylic all so amazing. My acrylic lasts for a solid 3 weeks as long as I don't accidentally break a nail biking. The gel usually last me 3 as well! I recently got my nails done for my wedding. It just emphasizes that o should never go to another place. They are frequently busy/ but always worth the wait! I never feel like they are trying to rush even when there are people waiting. They all take pride in their work! read more

I was stunned!!!!!!!! First they CLEAN unlike lots of nail salons, the Brazilian was AMAZING Kimberly was very carful, quick and had removed all the hair! Vincent did an awesome colorful French manicure. My mani pedi was aaaawwwwweesome. I am hooked! I really recommend this salon for nails color pedi, mani and waxing! read more

Very mixed feelings. The price is more than amazing, but I guess you get what you pay for. I am attaching photos of how my nails looked when I first got them done, and them a couple days later, they literally changed color and now it looks very weird, to put it mildly. Some of my nails got fractures and chips, like you can see in the other photo, and on others the gel is literally peeling off. Not really sure what to do now, I obviously want to get them redone to get rid of this weird color but I don't think I should pay again since the job wasn't done well. The woman who did my nails was really nice and I definitely feel bad writing this review, but the fact is that my nails were done unprofessionally. I don't know if I want to risk going here again. read more
