I had a very disappointing experience here. When I arrived, I asked for a simple gel polish on my natural nails. I was first told it would be $35. Then, while they were already working on my nails, they suddenly changed the price to $75 because they said it required "more work." On top of that, they asked if I wanted a massage, but did not mention that it would be an additional $20 charge. In the end, my total was $95 for a result that I was not happy with. I went back to have them fix it, and even after tipping $15, they asked for an additional tip, which felt very uncomfortable and unprofessional. I don't mind paying for good service, but changing prices in the middle of the service and pushing for extra tips is unacceptable. I left very dissatisfied and would not return. read more

This place is wonderful! Appointments are recommended because it does get busy. We brought my granddaughter and they painted her nails for her Wicked-themed birthday party. They put pretty butterfly stickers on her big toes. So cute! I only wanted a basic pedicure and there was no pressure to upgrade me as I've encountered at other places. Yoyo did a perfect job - cutting my nails as short as I wanted them. The leg massage was so great! All the employees were so friendly and professional. We will definitely return! read more

woman drilled my nails so low that all my own nails cracked within a few days. Never again. She should be fired.

I went on 6/25/25 they don't welcome you, they say get a color for your nail and rushing you to get a seat!! Also the place look so busy they had few people working. They did a good job on my pedicure, but my manicure the guy was distracting doing something else let me wait 20min after starting my nails, and on top of that my nails don't look good., After i was done they have the nerve to ask me for tip in front of everyone in the salon!! I was so embarrassing i didn't tip!! I came to pay for my services not pay the employees that the owner job to pay them!!! I will never go back again!! read more

My pedicure was fabulous Excellent service!! So relaxing and pleasant atmosphere

I GIVE ZERO STARS. I came here for a refill and they charged me $75 we did the refill, one solid color with acrylic gel. I asked for gel pedicure same color. They charged me $35 for that. I gave $20 tip so it was $130. One finger nail lasted ONE DAY. Not even 5 days later 3 MORE NAILS FELL OFF. My toes CHIPPED few days later. These nails didn't last even 5 days. Spending $130 on nails that don't last a week is crazy. I went to nails 4 u salon and they charged me $65 to remove those nails and do a full set. Way more worth the price!!! My pedicure with gel was $10 And then they told me my toe nails were regular polish, NOT GEL. I was so angry. Cedar spa took out of me so much money for nothing. DONT COME HERE. Go to nails 4 u they have better prices. read more

I've been going here for 7yrs and let me tell you after my experience on may 10th i'll never be back to this place! When we first walked in it was going fine but then after about 20 mins of being there my mom had told the nail tech she wanted gel polish and the owner said it would be extra 25$ my mom was in shocked because since we've been coming her its been only extra 10 bucks and then when my mom asked when did the price change another nail tech who was doing my sister nails rudely replied saying "it has never changed you just don't pay attention" after the service which my mom had got a normal mani pedi, My sister got full set and a pedi, and I also got the same as my sister I go to pay and as I was up there the owner was hovering over me and as I put the tip down which not that it matter but i tipped 20% she then goes on to say you need to tip more and when I told her no she then proceeded to have people follow me around the spa and give me dirty looks the entire time I was waiting for my little sister to be done. And to add to this all my mom nail looked like a 4yr old did it and my full set of acrylic nails only lasted me 5 day. 1000% do not recommend coming to this establishment!!! read more

Three of us were in for pedis here recently. The service was wonderful, we were soaked, and scrubbed, and exfoliated, and massaged and polished - and then massaged some more, they did a little work on my shoulders while my polish dried. Will definitely do again. read more

I have high expectations for pedicures. I expect a relaxing, spa atmosphere, sanitary equipment, friendly staff, and great looking resulting toes. I was thrilled to find this and more in an unassuming looking salon in a run-down strip mall, a diamond in the rough if there ever was one. I went with a friend, because nothing beats a girl's day out spa day, and thankfully she was thinking ahead and got us a reservation for our appointment. When we arrived, every single station was full, and on top of that I have never seen that many pedicure chairs in a single spa. Despite the fully occupied salon, we were shown to our chairs promptly, which were thoroughly cleaned and freshly filled with aromatherapy salt soaks. Our pedicurists were detailed and focused, neither scrubbing too hard, prodding too deeply, or filing too haphazardly. Basic pedicure includes a paraffin wax dip, thorough leg and foot massage and exfoliation, colour of choice, and hot towel finish. At that point I thought the experience was finished, as my attendant showed me to the pedicure drying table, where another salon person started giving me a hot stone neck massage, and back and shoulders massage. This was absolutely delightful, and quite a surprise. I would come back just for the massage!!! The pedicure itself was also very good, but the massage was such a treat. Many of the other ladies at the drying table remarked that they were loyal and would only come here. I myself have joined this group and will continue to come here for the rest of my pedicure needs! read more

I've been here a handful of times and really have been enjoying it! I used to get gel manicures, but switched to powder, as it's healthier, and have noticed my nails have looked so much better! The powder here has lasted me a month, probably could've been longer as well honestly. I believe I pay around 40-45 for it! Pedicures are to die for as well. Very relaxing. Prices are higher then surrounding areas, but honestly you get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend . read more

Will not return to this salon. I made a 4:30 appointment for a gel manicure. My nails were soaked at 4:45. At 5:10, due to the burning of the acetone, I took everything off and left. I was told it would just be a few more minutes. I didn't make an appointment to wait 40 minutes for a manicurist. My advice to the salon would be if you accept appointments, have a manicurist scheduled. read more

So I want to like this place, and I've come multiple times. The pedicure is pretty well done. But the powder dip was so poorly executed I have the worst hangnails I've ever had. I had to pull my hands away multiple times because the technician hurt me. Every single nail was red and swollen after because she over cut and used the tools on my cuticles and sides of my nails. I will not be returning because I asked her multiple times to be careful because she was hurting me and the service did not improve. Setting aside the fact that I did not love the French manicure and my tech did not know how to properly do it, this place is very busy despite mediocre service. read more

I was visiting the area from out of town and was blown away by the customer service at this nail salon. They give you a complimentary hot stone massage while you are waiting for your nails to dry, amazing wax dip during pedicures, and have HGTV playing in the background. It is very inexpensive for the level of service provided. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

Came in this morning for a mani/pedi. Andy did a great job! My nails look great. They even fit me in for an eyebrow wax which was not originally part of my reservation but greatly appreciated. The staff here work very hard and are slammed in the summer, so you must currently book an appointment. They are very accommodating and awesome with their busy schedules! read more

Great nail spa. I've done the circuit from Waterford to Westerly so I pretty much feel like I have a well rounded experience to compare pedicures to. I went without an appointment several times and have never been turned away. The pedi's include the paraffin wax dip, exfoliation, cuticle trimming, foot & leg massage, paint, cups of water and a neck & shoulders massage while drying. I'm usually the one who feels like the massages are too much pressure but they aren't here! I only go about 4 times a year so it's got to be special, this place is the best one I've found from Westerly to Waterford. read more

The workers do what they can to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. They are nice and attentive, and will tell you to relax if you seem tense or stressed. I enjoyed my pedicure sitting on a comfortable recliner having the manicure done. There was trimming/cutting of nails, an exfoliation scrub, then a lather of lotion, and nice dip of feet into hot wax, then eventually having nails painted, etc. a similar process was done with the manicure but this time they provided a neck and back massage which got a little painful (they really dig into your shoulders and back). But it was my first time being here and it was cool. Total for basic mani and pedi including tax is $43. Dont forget to tip the worker! read more

I came in here expecting just a run of the mill nail salon but got the best pedicure I've ever had. The paraffin wax was amazing and the lower leg massage was perfect. The hot stone massge was amazing at the end! I've had pedicures at way fancier places and been way less satisfied. I'd definitely recommend it here and I'll be back for sure. Can't wait to have twin pedicures with husband here. ;) I'd pay twice as much for the service I just got for really standard to cheap price. read more

I had an tight schedule so I called ahead and made an appointment. I even told them I was coming in on my lunch break and asked if they could possibly do my manicure and pedicure at the same time. Typically I try to allow myself some time when getting my nails done because I like to relax, but I was in a time crunch and they worked with me. This is the first time I've been in since they moved down the way from their old location. They are always friendly and they always do a nice job. The prices are reasonable and I feel like you get a lot for your money. I really like this place. read more

Absolutely loved this joint! I was treated to a hot stone massage while I waited for my gel polish to soak! Cici was so delicate with my tender nails. After my manicure my hands were soaked in wax and my arms were given another massage! Best service ever!! Heads up though, be sure to make an appointment. This spot was busy on a Monday morning to my surprise. You can pay cash, card, or check to get a punch on your frequent customer card which is a nice touch! read more

Came in here for the first time and I will definitely be back!! All of the staff are super friendly and nice, I love the job Kelly did on my nails with the powder dip with color.

Cedar continues to impress me. I now go there for mani, pedi, eyebrows. They always do a great job. Very professional and friendly.

The absolute best pedicure you will ever receive in your entire life. And I'm not just saying that. I just finished the relaxing spa pedicure ($45) and could not be happier. These nail techs take their time with each and every part of your foot and leg. The pedicure here far exceeds any pedicure at a place that charges double the amount. This place will forever have my business! :) read more

Went here for the first time today after reading all the reviews. First, I work with infectious diseases and am majoring in public health/epidemiology, so I have a keen eye for sanitation in service industries. It's very clean and they do a great job cleaning chairs after they've been used. They are also incredibly nice and welcoming people who focus all their attention to you. I was asked throughout my mani/pedi if I was okay and if I liked how it was turning out. I was also given water throughout even though I hadn't asked for any. Not to mention they do a paraffin wax/massage free of charge. The prices are about on par to other places in the area but definitely more service. They're very busy so I would recommend making an appointment in advance! read more

Great place to get our nails done!! I love how much is included in your regular pedicure and manicure. I've gotten numerous shellac manis and pedicures here. Manicures/Pedicures include the paraffin wax, which I love! My go to guy was Steven he gives the best massages on your feet and back and he's very precise with how your nails looks. He takes his time and makes sure they look good. My shellac would usually last 2 1/2 - 3 weeks but I would always come in earlier so I could get a massage. I've had the spa pedicure as well which includes the callus remover, exfoliant scrub, an oil rub with hot rocks and a few other things. This is a good pedi to do every 3 months or so to renew the skin on your feet but not an every time you go pedicure. I just recommend getting the regular with the callus remover (extra $5 but so worth it!) Definitely make an appointment before you go because if you try to walk in and they're busy (which they always are) they'll turn you away at the door. read more

I've been going to this place on and off for several years and they're consistently one of the best in the area. However, during very busy days, they now restrict services so they can prioritize moving as many customers through their door as possible, which unfortunately makes for a lesser quality service overall. (For example, if you want the $100 pedicure on the menu, but they'll only allow you to get the $50 pedicure so they can save time.) Last time I was there, I had a mani/pedi with a young man named "Andy". He was meticulous about nail care BUT he's pretty bad at massage, rubbing the same spot on my leg over and over again until it hurts before doing the same to another leg spot. Also, his manicure station was extremely sloppy with splatters all over the place, grit covering the table from previous nail filings, and blobs of paraffin clumped here and there. And he layered 6 layers of gel polish on my fingers and toes. 6 layers???? (1 Base coat, 3 layers of color, 2 layers of top coat = super thick nails!) This is why I am giving a 3 star review instead of 5 stars. Maybe provide more training to ensure a consistent quality of experience for your customers? I certainly plan to return, but I don't want Andy working on me again. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Cedar - highly recommended. I searched Yelp for a nail place in New London, and Cedar popped up. It's just over the bridge in Groton, and a bit tucked away at the far end of a strip mall. I actually drove past it and had to turn around. When you see Goodwill and TJ Maxx, turn in at that light and it's to the left. I unfortunately didn't heed the suggestions of Yelpers and went without an appointment. I arrived around 11:30 and was told they couldn't take me until 1:00. I came back around 12:50 and was taken right away. The place is definitely busy and all of the technicians were helping customers the entire time I was there. The establishment is open and bright. Nice massage pedicure chairs and new-ish looking mani tables. I didn't wear a ring but another customer had one on for her manicure, and the technician put it in cleaning solution while she was getting her nails done - a really nice touch I thought! I also appreciated that all the technicians, including the one I was working with, were very vocal with the customers, always asking about preference for things like length of nail and making sure things weren't painful. The technicians do not wear gloves during the appointments, so for those of us with latex allergies there is nothing to worry about. A mani pedi is $40 (or $12 and $30 separately) and includes a paraffin dip. The technician was great and did a wonderful job cleaning up my very unkempt cuticles. I really appreciated the back massage during the manicure, which I was expecting because of the Yelp reviews but was still a welcome surprise because it was so good! I know everyone says they only take cash tips, but I overheard another customer paying her bill, and she simply asked the technician to add the tip to the total bill before running her credit card, so it was included on the card. Overall I had a great experience at Cedar and I look forward to my next visit. read more
