They are greedy and have a lot of hidden fees they don't tell you about until you check out. Got a quote for a fill for $28. At check out my total was $53. They blamed their system for not being updated. They even charged me an extra $10 to use my own nail polish. Not only that, they did a bad job. All of a sudden there's a language barrier. read more

I don't recommend this place at all I thought they were very good the first time I went to this place service is good but the second time quality of work is horrible and they wanted me to let them fix it again after I gave him a second chance to fix it after they messed up the first time I would never go back to them ever and I don't recommend anyone else does read more

Their service is great! And I love going to get my nails done and amazing ambiance! Thank you for always awesome nails

Its a nice spot! Pedicure was on point, but When you give the tech a picture and ask if they can do it?! And they say "yes" Please be honest! The tech did not know what she was doing at all. Asking another tech to come help without management knowing it crazy work. The other person trying to help you and whispering and practicing on a nail tip right infront of the customer is crazy. I paid $200 plus $30 tip for the simple fact, I did not want to embrass the nail tech. I will not return just because, all she had to do was say "I don't know how to do that" instead she took my money for a horrible full set. read more

Been coming here for years and they're always kind, attentive and get me right every time. Peter is great. My Halloween nails I asked for came out better than I anticipated! Going to continue coming here for as long as I can. read more

For my first time going there for a pedicure I don't recommend! I left looking like if I did my own pedicure....horrible job

As far as gel fills... GO SEE KELLY!!!!! She is the absolute best!!!! She takes her time and makes sure you are happy with every step of the process! Unfortunately she's a college student and due to her major her availability is very slim. Besides Amy (owner's gf) who also is rarely doing nails... You're taking chances. I had to drop the stars due to their over priced pedicures. I was recently charged $63 for a quick soak, and change of color and paraffin wax. I originally asked for the deluxe pedicure but was told they were out of something so they would do the basic and charge me addl for the wax. The girl (Jenny) did not cut/file my nails... No cuticle cleaning, no scrubbing, no callus removal NOTHING. When I questioned the pricing I was told it was bc they used 2 stones instead of 1 for my 2 second "massage" Needless to say I will NOT be going back for pedicures!!!! It's been a week and the nail chipped on a few of my toes too read more

Original Review from Google on 12/23/2024 Made an appt on Thursday or Friday for 2 fills for 1p on Monday 12/23/2024. Arrived early and checked in. 1 of us was taken at scheduled appt time (1p) The other one had to wait 30 mins (1:30p) Not acceptable! This is the 3rd time this has happened, waited 30 mins or more past scheduled appt time. The techs did BEAUTIFUL work. The place is clean. Prices are reasonable. But I plan to find a different nail salon because I can not always have my appts run late. UPDATED REVIEW 1/10/2025 Called to make an appt because my daughter & I rec'd gift certs as Xmas presents. The man who answered questioned and asked me about my "bad" review and said my review hurt the business. I told him my daughter had a doctor's appt scheduled the same day we went to get our nails done and I had scheduled both our nail appts at 1p not one at 1p and one 1:30p AND because THEY did not keep our scheduled appt time of 1p THEY made us LATE for her doctor appt. He then suggested I find a new salon (no kidding I was planning to) but I told him I have $200 in gift certs and he said he would rather REFUND the gift certs. Perfectly fine with me. I drove there and refund for gift certs were given. read more

Let's start with this is a beautiful salon but the service lacks. Best friend and I made appointments for two pedicures. They were booked for an hour prior to closing (not our choice) which we were in aware of. If we would of known we were going to be rushed and given a poor pedicure. We would of booked earlier or went else where. Our pedicure choice guaranteed you a 50min pedicure . My girl clearly was learning and was just kind of following along with the other techs Which was fine you have to learn somewhere. But you could tell she was unsure with the steps . My friends tech was cleaning the salon and giving her a pedicure at the same time and completley skipped/ shortened steps in the pedicure. While her someone kind of hovered over and was waiting for her to finish so they could leave. And the cherry on top, we opted for regular polish for our toes which usually means you sit under a drying table til they are dry. Nope were were painted and handed out checks. And was told you could pay now ( while my toes were still wet). While my fiend tech left and my girl packed up. Such a beautiful salon with no drying table and poor service . read more

I have came to Bliss Nails 5 times already. My experience has been wonderful. The salon is very clean, organized! They will give you bottled water as your getting your service. I'm always seen right away . I love the flexibility they have with salon open hours. ( open on Sundays ) and will close passed 5 pm during the week. I always go and see Queenly, my nail tech and she works quick and does a beautiful job. She will always ask before doing something. My nails are always looking great. I'm very simple with my nails but they look nice! Prices are great in my opinion. I have found my mail home! read more

Service was great, all staff were friendly and attended to me upon arrival. The vibe was beautiful, loved the space and atmosphere. It made my self care day extra enjoyable read more

Bait and switch. When I called and asked how much a full set of gel nails was, I was told $43. I asked how much nail art was and I was told between 10 and $15 for all mails. So I figured everything including tip would be about $65.Once I had the service done, they told me it was $53 for A full gel set and $43 was for an acrylic set. They then charged me an additional five dollars for trimming my cuticles and another five dollars for shipping the false tips another five dollars for something else and $15 to do nail art on my to Pinkie nails. Everything came to $90! That is utterly ridiculous! I would've gone to West Hartford Or Avon and not had to pay those prices! The young man did a very nice job but I don't care to be nickel and dimes to the point of paying almost $100 for a full set of nails. read more

The hours on here are wrong, they open at 10:00AM. This was both my first time at this salon and my first time getting acrylics. For graduation I decided to get coffin French ombré nails and I brought a few pictures for reference. They look amazing and they're exactly what I wanted! He used a dip powder and I can't stop looking at them. Amazing job, sanitary af, and I highly recommend making an appointment because it gets busy pretty quick! **The total came out to $55 (w/o tip) which I thought was pretty damn reasonable read more

I went July 27, 2022 it's currently July 28, 2022!!!! I had my appointment set for acrylic nails and pedicure. Initially eyebrow wax but then eyelash extensions were offered. 1:00pm was my set time I wasn't late I didn't get in a chair until 1:20 ish I had didn't leave until 5:00pm. My toes look great my nails look great got what I asked for. I've gotten my eyebrows waxed before from here had no issue this time around I've broken out. First time ever receiving eyelash extensions eyes had to be kept wide open (which was hard when someone has a sharp object near your eye) no lash rinse was preformed beforehand , no volume, they were glued to my skin! Very thick, stiff, crunchy scratched my eyes! Not fluffy and silky. I thought I was able to get use to it but it kept getting harder to keep my eyes open. read more

Bliss Nail Salon - Nails by Emily - Nail Salons Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

I have been coming to Bliss Nail exclusively for over three years now, through two different owners, and have never had a bad experience here. I have had countless manicures, gel manicures, acrylic full sets and refills, pedicures and spa pedicures and for the most part I have received perfectly professional, exceptional service. My only criticism is that throughout both owners they are almost always running 15+ minutes behind so I suggest you schedule with some wiggle room. Particularly since it has been under new ownership and management, the entire inside has been refinished, all stations and pedicure chairs upgraded, further precautions are taken as far as sanitization, and the overall quality of the technicians work has improved. Amy's work is flawless every time, you can find a wide array of her work on instagram if you search bliss nails, I find it helps to have an idea of the design you want going in unless you are a regular who sees a technician that knows exactly what you like. read more

I have gone for gel manicures a few times and a pedicure once. I wanted to like it but was not impressed. The gel does not last (mine chipped within days) and the pedicure was lackluster. I was also disappointed in the service as they tried to convince me to get acrylic nails (more expensive) every time I visited. They seemed irritated at every visit that I only wanted gel with no acrylics. So strange. This is the place to go for your 90s nail inpso. read more

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I'm not one to typically complain but they are very unorganized when it comes to appointments. They consider you "late" if your waiting at the door to check in. I will never go back to this salon. The staff is very rude and unprofessional. read more

I was super surprised to find that Bliss was not on Yelp yet! It is not the fancy salon I have been, but for there prices it is the best. It is not in a classy part of town, and it is not very big. However I have been back three times after my friend took me there. She discovered this location solely because it is next to a good salon, Dante's. It has no website, and no really good advertisement at all. I get my Gel UV manicure there. All ten fingers for under $20. You will find no where else who does this, most places charge 40 and up. If you pay in cash they will not charge tax. Ethically questionable but they pass the savings on to you! The ladies and gents who work there all very nice and do a fine job. Mon - Fri 9:00 am - 7:00 pm Sat 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Sun Closed read more

Today was my day off and second visit with Peter. He did a great job on my nails as usual. I splurged on a pedicure as well with a Lemon Zest Foot Soak and massage for an extra $5, which was well worth it!!! I think I have found my new home! Thanks Peter and Kim! read more

LOVED THIS PLACE. Mark did my nails and he took his time and was very patient with me considering I am very indecisive. I usually dislike square nails, but it's the only shape I can really do at the length I need to keep my acrylics. But the shape he gave me was so nice. They are thin so they look almost real, but they are strong and feel secure! Everyone was very friendly I even saw a lady that works there get genuinely so excited to see one of her regulars. Jumped up and gave her he biggest hug. Will definitely be coming back! The people and service are great. read more

Bliss Nail Salon - Does that look like a manicure to you ?????? - Nail Salons Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

I recently visited this location based on the Yelp reviews. I am really getting into Gel and needed to find a place that I can depend on for my bi-weekly visits. After my first expirence, I will be going back. I arrived on an early Saturday morning without an appointment. I needed my nails cleaned, manicured and re-painted. I was greeted warmly and only waited around 5 minutes to be seen. I believe the woman who assisted me was the owner, I didn't catch her name. She was very nice and accommodating. All of the employees we're very interested in making sure clients we're happy with their nail polish choice - but not in an overbearing way. The shop is very clean! The manicure itself was very gentle and efficient; no painfully cut cuticles, no over filing... She shaped up my nails perfectly. The woman who was getting a full set of acrylics next to me also had perfectly shaped nails, I was impressed. The gel application was typical. I wanted an accent nail on each hand and I allowed the technician to do whatever she'd like, they came out great! Now, two weeks later, I am looking forward to revisiting Bliss. I've had various problems in the past including poorly applied Gel nails that fray up at the bottom and catch my hair... This hasn't been a problem, I could go another week with my nails if I wanted to! read more

I've been here a few times for a full set, fills and pedicures. Pedicures were GREAT!! Wasn't too satisfied with my nails, the acrylic was too thick for my liking and they didn't last as expected. The sides of my real nails would separate from the tip/acrylic before my 2 week fill was due. When I would go to get my "repair" the nail tech would use the electric filer and file down my real nail that was separated from the tip/acrylic, leaving the ends of my real nails thin and jagged. I would definitely recommend for a pedicure. read more

Bliss Nail Salon - Fullset Acrylic w/ Coffin Shape, done by Kim - Nail Salons Near Me - New Britain, Connecticut

I love how clean this establishment is. They are friendly and I am always seen in a timely manner.

I was a first time customer and new to the area. I thought I would try the salon it looked large and busy which I took as a positive. I booked a pedicure and manicure not gel I do not like gel. And I also got my eyebrows waxed. The pedicure was just fine she did a nice job. Then we went to get the eyebrows done. Not only did she dip the stick into the wax over and over again not using a new stick which concerned me she continued to now wax my upper lip. I never asked for that it was too late the wax was already on me and hot. I do not understand how business owners do not respect the wishes of their customers and give them what they request. Not what they think I need. Then I had my manicure which went just fine I do not like gel polish I just want a old-fashioned manicure. I showed the girl the color I wanted and the look I wanted and she came back with something completely different. I finally settled on something that I didn't like but I did it anyways which is on me. Come to find out 24 hours later I had a severe allergic reaction to the wax now four days later I am still swollen with dry skin my eye look horrible. I think the wax is filthy dirty and should not be used on any human skin. I seriously recommend you do not book an appointment at this salon. All they want is to make money and get people in and out and they do not take any consideration for what you want or your wishes! DO NOT BOOK AN APPOINTMENT read more

I go every 2-3 weeks to bliss nails and they always do an amazing job. I've been coming here for over a year and I will not go anywhere else. They are always so friendly and make sure everything looks perfect. As a loyal costumer they also email you coupons. Ever since they moved locations a couple months ago to across the street their nail color selection has become much more organized and it's easier to chose a color now. I typically pay $36-43 before tip read more

This is Mark, previous nail technician at Bliss Nails. I no longer work there as a few days ago. For future references for all costumers who would like to make an appointment. Make sure that when you do, you ask to speak DIRECTLY to the nail tech that you are requesting. DO NOT trust the person in charge of making these appointments, aka the person who answers the phone, to relay your appointments back to the nail tech. Because I can guarantee you that he WILL NOT let your tech know that you have an appointment with them. I have had this happen to me many many times. Recently, I was providing service to a costumer when another costumer came in and said she had an appointment with me. However, I was never informed that I had an appointment at that time. The person in charge let me take another costumer in, knowing that I had an appointment that time, and did not say anything. When my appointment came in, he forced me to give the costumer i was currently working on to someone else. However, when I refused and he came over and verbally assaulted me, yelling at me that I had to give up my costumer to take in the appointment. When I had asked him WHY he did not tell me I had an appointment he said "because I DONT CARE". In all my experience working at a nail salon, I had NEVER seen someone/a salon so disorganized and unbelievably rude like him. Take this as a warning for everyone who decides to go here. If you are my client and would still like me to do your nails, very soon I will be working very close to Bliss Nails. So stay tuned on their review page and facebook page as I would let you know through here. read more

I was looking for a nail salon closer to home! My old salon was too far. I looked on Yelp to see something good and I came across Bliss Nail Salon! I waited quite a bit after my appointment but, it was definitely worth it, my nails are so nice!!! I had gotten Full set Gel with chrome nails, I attached a video to this Yelp. Tina did my nails and she did amazing! My nails are even, the gel was put all the way back to my cuticle with no space between. She also was sweet and talked me as well. Although I waited a little while, it was the best. I loved it so much I won't go anywhere else. I will also only make my appointments with Tina! She did amazing! read more
