    Denies the up charges
    Candie K.

    I can't vouch for the quality of work because I ended up leaving before much was done as a result of the misleading pricing. While they advertised at the time that a dip powder set was $40 you couldn't actually go there and get the service done for $40. For example, no matter what shape you wanted your nails they charged an up charge for shaping. This isn't an optional service that you can opt out of and pay the posted rate therefore I feel that's misleading. There was a number of up charges for things normally done as part of the service. I respect that they have a right to price their services as they see fit. I just wish they were a little bit more transparent. Even in the businesses reply to the review they are misleading. They first deny having any of these upcharges and then do a conversation play by play, where they justify why they have these up charges. I'm confused.

    Dip manicure

    I am a regular. It is quiet and never overbooked. I am always happy with my dip manicures and pedicures

    My toe hurts. Cut crooked and too short. I didn't ask for this.

    What a horrible experience. I used to frequent this place all the time when sunny and summer were there. It's been going down hill. . Every time I come here now staff keeps changing. The lady that did my toes started cutting them right away and she made them so short its at the level of my skin. The lady next to me started getting her toes done and she asked for another nail tech because the man that started doing her feet was doing a horrible job. She also cut the first toe crooked on both feet. She didn't even ask me if I wanted them cut or filed. All the nails are so short it's painful. I'm very disappointed and I won't be coming back here EVER AGAIN. I just spent my hard earned money on what was supposed to be a pampered pleasant experience and I can't do anything about it. This is a $59 pedicure. Please train your people. This woman had no business doing nails. Clearly she had no idea what she was doing.

    I just recently moved in, so I decided why not check out the nearby salons and get just a little pedicure done? My expectations were definitely blown out of the water. The place was very clean and quiet with some nice ambient music to suit the place, the staff were very welcoming and kind, and on top of that, the service provided for the pedicure was very worth the money paid. I definitely will be coming back!

    I can't believe they let me leave the store like this. Horrible.

    The first time I went here was great. The other times were just okay. Yesterday, I was charged $95 for a lazy job on a manicure and pedicure...didn't even get polish. The woman I had as my technician didn't scrub my feet nor do my cuticles on hands or feet. The file job left my nails breaking today. I can't believe they let me leave like this, absolutely horrible. Will not go back.

    I am beyond devastated... I felt like I found the perfect salon, great products, clean, timely. I found the perfect nail artist, her name is Grace and she was able to do these extremely intricate designs for me all by hand. She had the most incredible line work and anytime I was complimented on my nails I sent everybody that asked to the salon. I told them ask for Grace because she's so talented and so great. I called today to schedule my biweekly appointment with her and was told she no longer works there. I've only been seeing her for about a month, and totally wish I got her number or Instagram or something. I will miss you Grace. I had recommended the salon to a friend, because she was obsessed with the types of designs I would get and when she went in and showed a photo of her much simpler design than those shown below, they told her it was not something they would be able to do. She was disappointed because she was expecting to be able to get a design like me. I have to find somewhere new that can accommodate my crazy ideas. Seriously, I will miss you Grace. If anyone knows where I can find her please let me know

    From far away not bad. Short.

    Just got my nails done and immediately had to write a review of my experience because it was too much. This MUST have been an off day for the nail tech because my goodness. If you're so tired you can't function then don't go to work! I enjoyed the ambience. It's neat and clean and very quiet. A good place to relax. That's what one of the two stars are for. The second star is because I like the way my pedicure looks. But that's about it. During my pedicure the male nail tech (wasn't Tony) who I didn't get the name of because he didn't respond when I asked, and wasn't wearing a name tag, was falling asleep. It started off with yawning and eventually full on head nod with his hands slipping off of my feet during the massage. At one point I had to wake him up and ask if he was ok. That seemed to jolt him up since his colleague started talking to him in a scolding tone of a voice. Once the pedicure was done I went to get my DIP Mani. I asked for shorter nails and he went ahead and cut the first nail up until my nailbed and there was no turning back. Which sucked because now all the nails are super short AND the process of DIP Mani requires more filing so you can see the nailbed now on all my fingernails. He filed them so much that my skin started to burn. The icing on the cake was when we went over the cuticles a second time he cut a piece and I wouldn't stop bleeding. Haven't had that happen at a nail salon in a long time. This was my first DIP manicure and my fingernails look so short like nubs and the color is dull (which I believe is just how dip manis are). Luckily nails grow back but beware! My mani and pedi cost $70 total and I don't believe this was worth the $70.

    I am a travel nurse and have been to many nail salons in Iowa, Maine, and Rhode Island this far. This was my second nail salon in Rhode Island and from here on out it will be my only salon! I came into the salon I was kindly greeted, I picked an upgraded pedicure (reluctant as every salon always wants you to pick a more expensive pedicure, but never meets my expectations). The pedicure was AMAZING! From the detailed massage by Sunnie (this was above and beyond any massage I have EVER had) to the paraffin wax and perfect polish! Next I had the Gel Dip manicure, Summer was an EXPERT! I've had this done at many salons and no one did as well as she did! At the end I received a shoulder massage with hot pads, hand/arm massage and paraffin hand dip. I never felt rushed through, both Sunnie and Summer were kind, friendly, and experts at what they do! I can not say enough about this experience! I would more then recommend this salon!

    SNS nails (organic dip powder) one of the ONLY in RI. I lived abroad in Australia and had a hard time finding SNS nails once I returned home. This place is clean, spacious and take their time on you. This is no RUSH in RUSH out. EXCELLENT service. Summer and the older gentleman have done my manicures-both excellent. Hot towel massage and paraffin leave my hands feelings like clouds. So goooood.

    Friendly. Clean. Had an issue that had to be corrected on one nail. Took care of it right away. Not…read morethe cheapest place but enjoyable experience.

    I am normally not one to leave a review at all if I have a bad experience I usually just take it up…read moreas not everybody is going to like what I like. But with that being said, I am the customer and I asked for the sides of my nails to be filled in as I do not like to ever see The Nail tip I like the nail to fully be covered with polish. I know that is not everybody's style, but it is mine. I asked for a simple white and white French tip. The French tips are crooked. The sides of my nails were not filled in, and when I asked for them to be filled in The Nail tech said quotations I don't do that because I file down the sides after and when there's too much polish on the sides, it looks chunky." I then shook my head and said OK knowing that as the customer I want what I want I am definitely not a Karen but when I am paying for service, I would like to be heard and feel like I am getting what I pay for. Onto the attitude, my nail tech was on the phone arguing with her boyfriend at the beginning of the service which again I was respectful, kept my mouth shut, but hoped that it didn't interfere with the service moving forward. It almost felt like she didn't want to do my nails and she just wanted to leave, which is not something a customer ever wants to feel after my service was done. She took her apron off, grabbed her purse and was running out the door, which again made me feel a little uncomfortable as a customer you never want your customers to feel that they're an inconvenience. Walking in the place was beautiful. It seemed very clean. The music was very nice. When I called for the appointment, the man that answered was very polite and super sweet. I will give this 2 stars as I will chalk this up as somebody not having the best day. But even on a bad day, first impressions are everything.
