Absolutely awful. I asked for my nails to be cut longer and he sinply just said "No" and cut them short. I shoukd have known fron the moment we walked in there and there wasnt a soul. one of my french tips looks like its supposed to be white, another one has a straight line, another one looks like its supposed to be pink. My real nail on my index finger is digging into my skin and burning the way he cut it, and under my thumb finger i am bleeding and it also burns. While he was buffing them he chipped the nail on my pinky finger, stopped, looked at it, patted it, and then kept going with the same aggression. Nothing got fixed, so learn from my mistakes and do not spend your money here.

Gel mani with floral nail art
Julia P.

I definitely recommend this spot! I got a great gel mani-pedi for a wedding and was so happy with it. The polish has not started to peel/chip/lift and it's been over a week. I also got some simple nail art on my fingers that my nail tech did a perfect job on :) I've gotten so many compliments on them! The gel mani-pedi price was pretty typical for what I've paid at other salons. My sister-in-law and her mom got regular mani-pedis that they were also happy with and that were totally inexpensive!

Inexperienced nail technician

A friend of mine went in today to get her nails done for her birthday. Her nails were a hot mess. She asked for length and the technician did them short. Her nails are too wide and not natural looking. She was very displeased. When she went back to see if they can fix it they told her that she would have to pay AGAIN to fix their awful work and were very rude to her. She left and angry and dissatisfied. I suggest for everyone to find another nail salon. She will never set foot in there again.

My girlfriend had her nails done here last week while out on the cape. She paid almost double what she normally pays for a fill and left with her nails bleeding. The edges of her fingers are cut up and the next day her gel polish chipped which never usually happens. Her nails are off shaped and bumpy. They look horrible and now she cant even have them re done until her cuts heal.

This is the start of the top layer separating. Noticed when I got home.

The shop was convenient to the stores nearby. I went in for a dip and a couple of hours later came out with my nails done, twice. By what I can observe, the male technician finished my nails. The top coat was tacky and sticky. He also didn't smooth out the cuticles area to make them neat. He said something to the other female and she took over and taken off a couple of layers and reapply the dip and top coat. I was charged $55 and I also tip a 20%. That evening, I looked at my nails and noticed my thumb nail top clear coat has half pealed away. If the shop wasn't far away from me, I would be there the next day. Lesson learned. Stay close to home and read reviews. Pics below.

A sad set of toes
Diane M.

I've had my nails done here numerous times but this time was awful. The toe nails were cut at a funny angle and too short. The polish had a bubble in one toe and ripples on 4. I didn't get a close look until I came home. Overall poor quality. I've had better experiences here but not greater than a 4 star.

Beautiful nail art and perfect manicure that lasts

The only missing item was the hot towel massage upon completion. Otherwise I'm happy and will go back.

Walked in on a Tuesday afternoon and got right in for a gel manicure. Quick and clean with great service.

Haven't been here in AGES and I came back today to be so very pleasantly surprised and happy to see…read morethat there have been renovation and other upgrades for to the entire place - all new everything and is using much more space dedicated to the nail salon part and less for wax - but even that area is nice too now. Thrilled with my pedicure and gel French mani as always (I have photos from long ago and recently here of both) For me this place is a tad bit out of the way but truly worth it for the simple fact I actually feel RELAXED when I leave here and not like I was enduring the experience just to get my nails or feet done. Something that's become more rare as the days pass. They'll always have my business !

I was unhappy at the wait time. My daughter and I made an appointment at 1130am. When we got there,…read morethey wrapped my nails to remove the old polish then I waited an hour and had to speak up. My daughter waited a half hour. Meanwhile they were working on other people jumping back and forth which made me afraid of cross contamination. I ended up having 3 different people working on my nails. My daughter had two. The girl was the only one that did cat's eye. The outcomes were pretty good. My daughter got a unique print on her nails and I got the French style. They overbooked or took too many walk- ins. I won't be going back !especially on vacation, I didn't want to be there 2 plus hours.

I've been coming here for pedicures for quite a while, so this review comes from someone who has…read morebeen a regular customer. The reason I've continued coming back is because the actual pedicure is excellent. They do a thorough job trimming and shaping my nails, taking care of my cuticles, and even addressing an ingrown nail when needed. I've always been happy with that part of the service. I also don't mind the recent $5 price increase. I understand that costs are going up everywhere, and I'm happy to pay more for good service. Unfortunately, it feels like I'm getting less while paying more. The biggest issue is that the experience has become so rushed. A pedicure is supposed to be relaxing, but from the moment you sit down, you're hurried through choosing a color, the service itself, paying, and leaving. It feels like the focus is on getting customers in and out as quickly as possible instead of providing a relaxing experience. I've also had problems with the finished result. On one visit, I left with bubbles in my nail polish. On another, they took my payment while I was sitting under the dryer, which is perfectly fine. But then they had me get up and walk to the front to enter my PIN while I was still wearing the toe separators. Not surprisingly, I ended up smudging my freshly painted nails. I was so frustrated that I left instead of asking them to fix it. I understand that salons are busy, but when prices increase, I expect the quality of the overall customer experience to stay the same--or improve. The quality of the pedicure itself is why I've remained a customer, but I really hope they'll slow things down a bit and bring back the relaxing experience that made me enjoy coming here in the first place.

This is a clean, friendly spa with comfortable massage chairs, and the prices are very reasonable…read more The staff is welcoming, and I've been a customer for many years. That said, the regular polish quality is inconsistent and doesn't last as long as I'd expect. I recommend bringing your own polish if longevity is important to you. Before you leave, check that the nail edges have been filed smoothly and that any stray polish has been cleaned up around the nails. The shape of my nails are all different as well. I recommend you ask your technician to let each coat dry for a minute before applying the top coat. Even with time in the drying area, I often end up with smudges. My only real wish is for a more meticulous pedicure. After many years as a customer, I've had only a few that felt truly detailed and carefully finished.

He takes his time and does very careful neat detailed pedicure. If you care about the health and well being of your feet and hands, go to Perfect Nails, they will take care of you like no one else did before! Give yourself a favor, and go get your mani/pedi done here!!

All of the women in my family prefer manicures & pedicures done by Mary & Hippy over everywhere…read moreelse (Needham, Wellesley, NYC...). They spend so long on you and you never feel like they are rushing to get to another client, which is different than many other nail places. Hippy spent over an hour on my pedicure today and 45 minutes of that was before any polish was used. My feet feel and look amazing. They are open year round and we often wait until we are back on Cape to get our nails and toes done, because no one at home spends that amount of time or does as good of a job. If you're fingernails and toenails need some attention, head on over to Perfect Nails. You will not be disappointed. Call 2 days in advance for a weekend appointment. If you have an appointment you won't have to wait at all, they'll be ready for you. It's just Hippy & Mary, so if you're a walk in and it's busy you may have to come back. It's worth it!
