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

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.

Beautiful nail art and perfect manicure that lasts

Julie at California Nails Patriot Square does beautiful nail art that you'll be happy to wear. She even did this beautiful flower free hand! Julie, Jacquelyn and Ti's manicures always last a good long time. They apply the gel polish in thin coats that are durable. Their manicures are a real treat because they gently remove the old gel polish . Great family business!

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.

I've been meaning to leave this review for a very long time now. And I'm finally getting to it!…read more I've been coming here for years and years and have always had an incredible experience, I'm in here almost once a week! (I change my mind on colors a lot!) I see John every time I'm here for my acrylics and I will tell you no one does a better job than him! I've been to nail salons in numerous states and all around the cape and no one compares! He even puts up with all the crazy colors and designs I ask for! So I highly recommend him for anyone wanting the most perfect set of nails! Or anyone who wants anything fun! (I've gotten all of my friends to only go to him for their nails as well!) My mom and I also get our pedicures here too and have had almost everyone do them, we love everyone there. Everyone is warm and friendly and even with the rush of summer traffic they still do an incredible job! This place is truly amazing and I thank them for being the best nail salon on the cape! (Attached is some nails John has done for me

Lie about pricing, upcharge for any little detail, rush the job and end up cutting your skin. They…read moredon't put the acrylic all the way back making it so it grows out quicker and you need to go back sooner. Some may have a good experience but anytime I've gone I have left with lumpy acrylic, off centered nails, and overall just a terrible experience. Please be aware if they are busy they will rush you and do a terrible job.

I have been getting my pedicure done by Hippy for over three years. He is very professional and…read morethe best around here on Cape Cod. 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!
