    long acrylic nails

    One of my favorite places to come in southern RI! Prices are very reasonable and they do a great job on my acrylics week after week. My acrylic fill with regular polish is usually 35-40$. They never push you to get additional services, will always give you exactly what you ask for. I visit several times a month.

    Just went here for the first time. I live locally and have been to many other nail salons. I am very pleased with the manicure I just received. All my nails are perfectly even. The nail artist, Lieu was very professional and took her time. They are taking all necessary COVID-19 precautions. I felt very safe. Thanks!

    Acrylic fill with gel polish with amateur acrylic application

    I first came to Central Nails a few weeks ago and Lieu did my nails-- she did a fantastic job. I chose this salon because it is close to where I work and it makes the most sense to go somewhere close. I returned yesterday and the man (I am unsure of his name) did my nails. I asked for a dip manicure (something I have been getting done for over two years at other salons) but that I had acrylics on now (a miscommunication with Lieu that I was okay with because they looked fantastic). (Side note, he was visibly annoyed that he had to take them off). Anyways, he tried to clip my nails to remove the acrylic and I stopped him saying that they are my natural nails and that I do not want them cut. He then proceeded to argue with me saying that in order to remove them they had to be cut off then have tips put on. After a few irritated exchanges he looked at Lieu, said something to her that I could not understand, then she repeated what he had already told me. I insisted that they did not have to cut my nails and the man became more annoyed. I should have walked out then and there but I needed to get it done that night (after this exchange 3 other woman walked out seemingly shocked without saying a word right before they were supposed to get their nails done). I told him just to do a fill and he was clearly irritated. The whole experience was tainted at that point. Continuing along he snapped at me on a few occasions for moving my hands... I have tremors that cause my hands to shake and cause my fingers move "on their own" at times. While he was polishing, my finger jerked and he yelled at me then laughed it off. The manicure finished with a "you're all done". There was lotion and cuticle oil that was not offered to me. He also did not check with me that I liked the shape or the color throughout the manicure... he did not even confirm that I wanted the same shape and in result gave me rounded instead of almond). When I said that I did not have Venmo he seemed frustrated. At the end of it all he over charged me for the same exact manicure that Lieu gave me. I'm very sad because I really loved her work but refuse to go back to a place with such toxic air. I am giving 2 stars because while the attitude and application soured my experience, he did do a good job with the polish application overall.

    Finding a great esthetician while traveling can be a gamble, but Exquisite Skin Care exceeded every…read moreexpectation. I was visiting Rhode Island and happened to meet the owner at a local event. After chatting about skincare, I decided to book the Gansett Glow Facial to stay on track with the skincare routine I follow at home. It turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. I've enjoyed Eminence Organic facials at luxury resorts, and the quality of this facial was every bit as impressive. The treatment room was peaceful, impeccably clean, and beautifully maintained, creating the perfect atmosphere to unwind. One of my favorite parts was the Dermaflash treatment. My skin felt incredibly smooth afterward, and it made such a difference in the way my products absorbed and my makeup applied. The best part? A full week later, my skin is still radiant. My complexion looks brighter, more even, and has that healthy glow that usually fades after just a couple of days. If you're looking for a knowledgeable skincare professional who delivers exceptional results in a relaxing environment, I highly recommend Exquisite Skin Care. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!

    Was drawn to Exquisite from her signage along Boston Neck Road in the early Fall of 2025…read more Angie's knowledge, process and professional appt have been a delight. I'm on a regular routine now and have bought gifts for family and friends whenever I need a special present.
