Cedar Nail Spa - My toes :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Groton, Connecticut

My girlfiend took me to Cedar Nails, and I was very pleased! I am someone who is very leary of nail salons due to their commonplace sanitation violations, but Cedar is clean and I felt very comfortable there. The staff is very friendly, and I fell in love with their vibrating massage chairs that you sit in for the pedicure. I was also impressed that the nail and foot services come with paraffin treatments, a great deal for the price! The nail technician gave me two back massages during my time with her. They took the time to make sure our nails looked exactly the way we wanted, and I felt the techinicians were profesionnal and very detail-oriented. I also thought it was very considerate of them to avoid having long conversations with each other in foreign languages; this can make a client feel isolated or neglected. They seem to read people well and we both had a pleasant experience. I would definately go back! read more

All about the money. Was rushed and they were definitely overbooked!!! The lady in charge was so distracted taking appointments and not writing anything down - in process she cut me and made my nail bleed badly. Will never return!!! read more

What a gem in SE CT. All of the staff are extremely friendly and skilled. The salon is clean and bright with a wide selection of regular polish colors as well as Shellac. Both manis and pedis receive wax treatments included in the price, which is already extremely reasonable. The staff are thorough and this requires some extra time since they go leaps and bounds to offer multiple massages throughout each treatment. So if you are looking for a quick paint and dry, go elsewhere. This is a relaxation experience. The only thing I can say is they only take cash tips, so come prepared for that. Love this place! read more

First time here on Sunday for a regular pedicure and gel manicure. Both were fantastic. The nail techs were great never felt rushed. Will return! read more

My first and last time I'm getting "tips" at cedar nails! The male who did my nails yesterday did a terrible job ALL of my nails came out lumpy and they are not the same length! I asked for square and some of my nails came out round I asked him to fix it I even pointed out what I didn't like and he did nothing about it he was getting frustrated with me! The only thing that came out good about the trip is the back and and arm massages I was very disappointed because I heard such good things about this place! read more

Cedar Nail Spa - He did not clean around my nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Groton, Connecticut

Theeee #1 worst nail salon in Groton CT.. and trust me i been to almost all of them. Avoid this place please. I got a pedicure and paid alot of money and still had callus on my feet and nail polish was horrid. It was rushed service. Not relaxing at all. The massage was timed 2 minutes and not a good massage AT ALL! they just slap your skin. Horrible experience. I called back for a refund and the lady laughed at me. Ill continue to let people know never to come to this place until i receive a refund. Seriously avoid. read more

This place gives the illusion of being sanitary without actually being sanitary. Dipping my hands and feet into shared paraffin wax really creeped me out. Also, I had made an appointment and they sat me in a pedicure chair almost immediately but then I waited about 30 minutes before the pedicure started. The pedicure was fine, nothing special, but the manicure was rushed because they were closing soon and the manicurist clearly wanted to leave on time. They also use a bevel on natural nails, which is HORRIBLE and a huge at any place that cares about your overall nail health. read more

They did a wonderful job on my daughter (5) and my manicures and pedicures. We both had a nice and relaxing time. The only issues was when the lady went to was my eye brows she was trying to use a stick she had used previously on someone. I asked her to switch sticks and she did. But she couldn't understand why and continued to double dip my stick in the was lot over and over again. - in case wondering minds have never thought of this; hot wax pots are a breading ground for bacteria and turning up the heat on a wax pot Wil not get rid of bacteria. It will only breed further and great a better breading environment. Some things that can be transferred this way is foliculitus and other seem problems. Also, there is a huge debate that herpes can also be transmitted this way. read more

Updating my review to say that the owner said I was being untrue... just because I said something similar about another business... there was nothing about my experience that was a lie. I denied the chance of getting them redone because I do not want to go through the same experience again. Instead I went to the competitor, I've never had a bad experience with mermaid nails. And I will continue to go there every single time. The owner should just conduct some training and not accuse of the customers of lying! read more

I used this nail salon twice and have mixed feelings. They do their best to accommodate high volumes, few employees speak English and that is a very uncomfortable situation when you're trying to communicate. One nail tech translates for another and maybe, if you're lucky your request is understood. Hot rock massage is good, paraffin treatment nice but, plastic wrap is overused, and waste is extream. As far as Nail salons go they do take some best safety practices into consideration, such as plastic liners for pedi bowls, individual pedi file kits, and perhaps proper sanitizing of nippers, but one can never tell. The nail tech, Will was rough, borderline rude and manicure a mediocre result at best. Toni my pedi attendant took a smoke break in between my Pedi, hurt my toes yet, I believe did his best. I doubt I will return. read more

I found this absolute gem on accident when I first moved to Groton and was looking for a decent mani/pedi. I will never go anywhere else as a regular! Cedar Spa provides high quality, sanitary, relaxing service at a right price. Manicures and pedicures include paraffin wax and an unbelievable massage. Call to make an appointment as they are always busy and it's tough to get a spot as a walk in. Also, tips are cash only. Amy (the manager I believe?) is one of the sweetest people ever, and will always greet you with a smile. Cedar Spa is awesome! read more

Manicures, pedicures this is the place to go. Very clean. I see Will every time he is very meticulous. I have been going every two weeks for the past year and I won't go anywhere else. read more

Great manicure & pedicure. If you fingers & toes need some help, I highly recommend this salon. I love the paragon wax.

Reasonable prices, clean, not rushed, very happy with the end result (pedicure). I have had bad experiences at other nail salons in the area and this is my go to now. read more

Really disappointed in this place. I took my daughter for a wax and they burned her eye lid. They didn't even said sorry. The lady acted like she didn't do anything wrong. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

They give a decent pedicure and its a plus that they end with a massage and use paraffin wax. Something that I think is odd is that they have a hair clip at the end of their drying station that they use to clip up the hair of long-haired clients in order to give them a massage. I thought it was the person across from me's hair clip, but no, they use it on everyone. Really turned me off. **Also, side-note: when you buy a gift certificate they double charge for tax. I'm not sure what this means legally, but this is how I know; I bought a pedicure for my moms bday and they charged me the buyer tax on the purchase. No problem I thought, until I received a gift certificate myself a few months later and went to redeem it. They charged me tax again for redeeming it! Now, coming from recently buying a gift certificate and then also redeeming one, that seems really fishy to me. read more

I have been going to Cedar Nail Spa for years and I have noticed lately how it has been going downhill! I have been left waiting in the chair with no water in the foot bath and no acknowledgment after 15 minutes, had an appointment and waited 45 minutes to even get started and most recently I was just hung up on because she was too busy to rebook my appointment that I had to cancel because of an emergency! I called back and she hung up on me 6 times and then let the phone ring off the hook and didn't answer it! I have never been so rudely treated and as a regular customer I am livid! I was loyal to a fault! How rude can you be!!?!? I will never go back! How can you treat your customers like dirt? Because you're busy?? You have got to be kidding me!!??? I needed to change the day of my appointment and you hung up on me!!?? I hope your business goes to hell!! I will tell everyone and anyone who will listen to me about this!!! read more

I didn't have an appointment but they did squeeze me in. Regardless , if you don't have time I could go somewhere else that might ... it was super rushed . Extremely filthy countertops. The water with the cuticle instruments was filled with other peoples cuticles. I should've just left then.. I just scrubbed extra long during the hand wash part... & My final product of nail polish had bubbles on 3 fingers . Not worth it. read more

I made a late appointment using yelp and they were able to accommodate me for my pedicure. Steven did a great job on the pedicure. I booked for a French mani pedi for a wedding in May. read more

I have been going to this place for years. They are always friendly and accommodating. The hot stone massages and parafin wax treatments make it worth every penny. read more

Called and made an appointment for 410. I get there I was greeted and told to pick a color. I was then brought towards the back to have a seat. The lady lifted my arm rest. She asked me to pick what pedi I wanted and then walked away. I waited five minutes and multiple ppl walked by and I was just sitting there. No water in the pedi bowl or anyone acknowledging that they would be with me shortly. My mom comes and she lets the lady know she is with me. She tells her to pick a color and to go where I am . I wave to the lady and she say me but assumed I was waiving to my mom.My mom comes back and no one was getting her stuff ready or lifting up the chair arm. I decided to just get up and leave. As im putting my jacket on this lady stops and looks and says something and I ask are you doing my pedicure and she said no someone else would. I said I'm all set and asked... and walked out. A white women walked in while I was waiting and she was walked to her seat and her services began. My black dollars spend the same as anyone else. I will make sure to never bring them back here. Not cool at all! read more

I used to love this place. But they overbook and the service has suffered because of that. I make appointments, and still end up waiting 30 minutes or more while they take other people who walked in before me - with no appointment. Why bother to make an appointment if they will not honor it? We walked out and won't go back. The massage is not worth the aggravation. It makes for a very disappointing experience. read more

I will start by saying I am a nail SNOB. You know the people. Cedar Nail Spa was my go-to nail salon in the area for over two years. They used to do a decent job, a great parafin wax, etc. However, they've gone downhill tremendously. They have a few inexperienced nail techs so if you don't ask for someone in particular you're probably going to get a crappy manicure. So much so I actually had to tell the owner they didn't even touch my cuticles one time. I visited a couple times during COVID, they always followed protocols correctly. However, I went back last week because I needed a decent manicure before a trip and happen to have a full stamp card for a free manicure. I wanted JUST my fingers. I called the day before to make my appointment, I arrived on time and was seated right away. I quickly noticed that every nail tech was busy. I sat in the manicure chair for 30 minutes and no one even acknowledged me or told me it would be a few more minutes. I walked out with my full stamp card and will not be returning. They don't care if you have an appointment and on a schedule (or conversely) out for a nice relaxing day. It is always completely hectic with the owner running around over promising and under delivering. read more

Great place! Very clean environment and an amazing and courteous staff. My neice and I got gel manicures and it was a great experience. Loved the massages and the care they took for both of us. We will definitely be back!! read more

One of the best pedicures I have had it was relaxing and it was nice not to feel rushed. The massage while you are drying is a great touch. I will definitely be back. read more

Cedar Nail Spa is the place to go for the full manicure-pedicure treatment at a very reasonable price. Everyone at Cedar is friendly and welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. I've enjoyed every experience I've had at Cedar, mainly because for a couple hours I feel completely pampered and relaxed. They have a great selection of traditional polishes (OPI, China Glaze, etc) in addition to many Shellac colors to choose from During the pedicure, you sit in luxurious leather massage chairs and are immediately given a cup of water before you receive exemplary foot treatment. They make sure water is always the perfect temperature for you and they let you soak for a few minutes before starting (rather than starting right away). Along with the typical foot scrub, nail trimming/shaping and polishing, you get a full blown foot and leg massage and a paraffin wax treatment for extra moisture. It is typically a relaxing 45-60 minutes for a pedicure. For the manicure, I am a fan of the Shellac polish, mainly because I always manage to mess up a fresh manicure within minutes with traditional polish. The manicurist removes any polish you came in with or cleans unpolished nails before the normal trimming/filing. They are expert cuticle snippers and have never cut too close (I've had problems with past salons where they snipped too deep causing me to bleed). They do an excellent job polishing and while you're drying, you get a hot-stone shoulder and back massage. At a different place, you'd probably pay an additional $25+ for this service, but at Cedar the massage is part of their amazing service. Once they have ensured the polish is dry, they scrub your hands/arms to exfoliate, followed by a lotion massage. Finally, you get a paraffin wax hand treatment (separate wax tub from the foot treatment) that seals in the moisture. Overall, you leave feeling relaxed and spoiled. It's too bad the Shellac polish lasts 2+ weeks; otherwise, I'd be at Cedar every week for some pampering. read more

This place just rocks. Prices are decent and the customer service is amazing. I went in for a pedicure and didn't expect much (I'm jaded from all the other nail salons I've been to, so I'm never expecting more than just a nice scrub and some nail polish on my toes). Immediately upon entering, you're greeted with fresh smiles and "hellos" from almost ALL the staffers. They bring you water constantly, so that was a plus for me. The pedicure was fantastic and even when you're done and your nails are drying, they come and give you an AMAZING back/neck massage. I mean COME ON, I was NOT expecting that at all, it was just great. I honestly can't wait to go back! *** FYI: CASH ONLY for tip. read more

I had heard great things about this place, and the fact that they open at 9:30 is awesome! I called at 9:15 and they actually answered and luckily said I could get two pedicures in when they opened. When we got there it was already hopping! Phone ringing off the hook, people coming in... And the service is AMAZING! I have found my new spot! A pedicure including paraffin wax, and a full shoulder and back massage? Yes. All the yes. read more

Amazing customer service. The staff is attentive and efficient. My pedicure included the hot parrafin wax, a great foot massage, water, and a sexy nail color. My gel mani also included the parrafin wax, cuticle removal, and a hand and back massage. I was extremely pleased with the professionalism and service. I called for a same day appt and the place was very busy. This is my new nail spot! read more

I have had many different pedicures all across the country and this is easily the best place I've ever been. I got a "regular" pedicure with exfoliation, wax mask, and epic massage foot, shin, and calf massage. Then while my nails were drying, they gave me a shoulder/neck hot stone massage. Everyone was polite and welcoming. Best $30 spent for sure. read more

This was my first time here and I have heard great things from other friends however my technician Winnie was terrible. She looked half asleep, was not paying attention to what she was doing (looking around at other customers, kept stoping during my pedicure and spacing out). During the leg massage, if you want to call it that, she was barely massaging the cream in that's how light she was going. Then at the end of the pedicure I look at the bottoms of my feet and the rough patch I came in to smooth out was still there. The back massage was terrible, she literally was just leaning on my shoulders not moving acting like she was giving a massage. This girl was on another planet and for $90 for a mani and pedi from her I was totally ripped off. Will not go back. read more

Oh my goodness. This is the best place in the whole world. They massage you while nails dry, do the wax treatment on both hands and feet, and they even put my rings in a cleaning solution. It was amazing!!! The pricing is moderate but I promise it's worth every penny. I will be back. I'm possibly going broke after discovering this place. Beware others know of its greatness so you might have to wait a bit. Promise you won't be disappointed read more

Just moved here, new to the area. This will now be my go-to nail place! Amazing! So clean, friendly and well priced! read more

Probably the best pedicure with the best service I have gotten! I'm visiting from our of town and came here for a pdicure with my best friend. We got chairs right next to each other and the pampering began. Most spa peducures I've had in the past included the foot bath, pedicure with leg massage, and nail painting. All of the extra ammenities here were great. They dipped our feet in wax, which made them super smooth. We got flip flops to take home so or paint wasn't ruined. While the paint wad drying we had a back massage which was heavenly! Very nice staff and i can't wait to make another visit to Groton and come back again! read more

This place is amazing! The salon is very clean and the staff is friendly. The pedicures are great and even include a hot stone massage. I would highly recommend this salon. read more

Everything was perfect - quality , service, extra pampering and price. Paid only $32 for gel mani and came with paraffin wax and message. I only wish i lived near the salon so I could come frequently. read more

I had an excellent experience here. Clean, friendly and relaxing atmosphere. The prices are great. A basic pedicure covers a leg massage, for massage, hot wax treatment and exfoliation. Great! read more

The pedi here is one of the best in the area. And if you want an amazing manicure with the best darn neck and back massage ever, see Jessie. I usually hate the massages that so many nail salons kind of just thrust upon you, but she was really amazing. Go here. You won't be sorry. read more

I have gotten the BEST shellac manicures here. I have requested Fiona a couple times now as she does an absolutely fabulous job. They never chip or get caught on anything, the only reason I've had to get them re-done is just because they're growing out. She gives a great deep massage too!! Will definitely keep going back. The reason for 4/5 stars is because I think their services are slightly overpriced. read more
