Oh... how I miss this place. While running errands in my old Connecticut neighborhood I decided to…read moretreat myself to a mani-pedi at my favorite old salon. I nearly forgot how wonderful they are. Susan is no longer there, however, Kelly and Kim (I think that was her name) were marvels! This was, by far, the best gel mani I have ever gotten in... maybe ever. Really, it made me yearn to move back. it was definitely worth the 40 mile drive. In the weeks that followed I did every conceivable thing to sabotage my nails. hauled furniture, gardened, painted, scrubbed with wire mesh, never, ever wearing gloves. It was insane how perfectly they held up. Not one break, chip, or peel off. Its been nearly three weeks now. If not for the fact that my nails have grown out, they look as great as the day I had them done. Not kidding. Those ladies have serious skills! I noticed that their process is in some ways different than the other salons and am certain those measures account for the durability and polish. They also don't rush or cheat. Another big thing for me... without my asking, both women took additional steps to correct or minimize imperfections in my nails - the sort of things that I feel embarrassed to call out. Done without discussion and I thank you! Bonus points for free bottled beverages, clean, quiet atmosphere and a superb back massage. If you are local to Susan's, I am so jealous of you.

Wow. This seriously is the best deal for a manicure I've ever had…read more I first came to Susan's Nails years ago (13 years ago, in fact) before my sister's wedding. Over the years, I've been here a few times when I've been back in town, and my mom has come here once in a while, but not since Susan herself stopped working here. Before yesterday's visit, it never struck me as anything out of the ordinary, but they've made some amazing changes to their services which make this place really stand above the rest. My mom and I stopped in here for manicures early afternoon and were attended to immediately. The three technicians working (one male, two female) were very sweet, and attentive to my infant daughter who watched us from her stroller. I have had bad experiences with guys doing my nails in the past, so I was a bit unsure of how this would turn out, but the man technician who did my nails was top notch quality and super attentive to every detail in the process. My nails (and my mom's) look great, but the whole experience was worth waaaay more than the $10/manicure price we paid. Why? Well, with your manicure, you get a nice hand scrub and massage, a complimentary paraffin wax treatment for your hands (!!!), hot towel, a neck/back massage during the paraffin treatment AND a massage (with some deliciously warm neck compress) while your hands are drying. I've paid $15 extra for paraffin treatments in the past, and could not believe that this was all included in the $10 price tag. My mom also got a wrap put on one broken nail and it looks good as new! I will definitely make a point to come back here whenever I come home to Wilton.

Zen spa is one of the better spas in the area…read more The place is clean, the pedicures are done by staff that actually know what they are doing. They have a variety of pedicures available and most of them includes a 15min massage. My Gel manicure usually last beyond the 2weeks and the Spa uses good quality polish on your nails not the polish you get from dollar tree. The staff is extremely nice and you can only tip in Cash. You definitely need an appointment because its a popular spot for people that want excellent service.

The most terrible experience -- beware of scam attempts. ($$$)…read more I'm not a believer in writing reviews, but I am absolutely disgusted by my experience earlier today. All I needed was a polish color change, something that is simple... I called ahead to ask if they're available for a polish color change, and I was told someone would certainly be available, and I said I'll be there in 15. I arrived at 5:08 PM and wasn't helped until 5:25 PM, which I totally understood since I didn't have an appointment in advance - really no issues yet. The first person who assisted me burned my finger twice while buffing off my existing polish and then chipped one of my gel tips on my middle finger. I came in for a simple color change, and now I needed an extension to fix the big chip. I was eventually moved to an older woman, who I believe is the owner. She applied gel to fix the broken tip and reassured that it was a free charge. I appreciated it. But then she attempted to put the gel extensions on the rest of my nails; I had gotten a fill only a week ago and they were already a fresh new set. I had to stop her and reiterate that I was ONLY there for a color change, nothing more... She then tried to upsell me, explaining that a color change costs $35 but for an additional $10, I could get gel extensions to make my nails stronger and help the color last longer. I made it clear that this was not what I wanted. Side note: it is RIDICULOUS to charge $35 for a color change... She continued to upsell, offering a $2 hard coat, which I explicitly declined and clearly stated "no," and her response was "ok" ; I get upselling is part of the job and a way to run a business, so again no real issue here. However the issue became after I said no, she proceeded to try applying it anyway and then added it to my total. When she told me the total was $35 for the color change plus $2 for the hard coat, I was stern and was not accepting her sneaking in this charge. She did remove the charge, but the fact that she attempted to charge me for a service I had specifically refused is extremely disrespectful. I came in for a simple color change and left feeling disrespected and disgusted. And it all took wayyy too long - Like I said, I walked in at 5:08 PM, and left at 6:05 PM. I completely understand that businesses need money, but SNEAKING IN upgrades a customer never agreed to is shameful. I would caution others to be very clear about what they agree to before allowing any service to proceed. Unless $35 color changes and being charged up the ass is their thing.

York (tall gentleman) did an absolutely AMAZING job and loosened up my tight back like a pro. He seemed to be very organized and knew what each person coming in was there for. I will make it a point to come back because I think that was the best chair massage I've ever had. Will try a pedicure next for sure.

If you'd like to know how Dash truly is, please read. It's safe to say that many people blow up a…read moreplace for a very small reason. I went to Dash today (3/11/2017) after seeing a friends nails and complimenting her. I've always been a fan of yelp because a lot of the time you can get a very good idea about a place. I'm also a firm believer in writing a review when my experience was great! Before going to Dash I did read the reviews, some I agreed with and others I just didn't. When I first walked in I was nicely greeted by the owner and asked a few questions regarding UV gel. I used to go to Coco Nails in Riverside and loved it, but felt their prices were WAY too high. They mentioned the UV full set was $60, you should know this is extremely reasonable for Stamford. My next question was do they charge extra for shellac polish? I find shellac gel is by far the best and lasts the longest. I also feel the shellac gel is much better for your nails. I was instructed to sit down and pick a color, Dash has TONS of great colors. They have numerous different brands of gel and probably 50 pallets to choose from. A nice, young guy named Jason sat down to do my nails. One of the reviews on yelp mentioned how amazing Jason was so I was quite pleased when he sat down. From the start of the process to the end he was fantastic. Since i didn't have the UV on my nails already, there was a bit more applied, but they still look SUPER natural. He was gentle, spoke very nicely and was absolutely meticulous. I'm quite the perfectionist so I loved how he made sure each nail was the same length (when comparing to my other hand) and he was sooo gentle. He was engaged in conversation but made sure to pay special attention to my nails. I picked this gorgeous emerald green sparkly color (everything is better with sparkles). In the past when I had UV on my nails I would go every three weeks. Each person is different, but unless there is something majorly wrong I think it's a bit overkill to go every two weeks. Beyond pleased with the experience!! Do yourself a favor and go see Jason! You won't be disappointed. As far as some of the other comments..... 1. There was mention of the shop being dirty - NOT true. Dash is very large, tons of stations and I felt it was very clean. 2. There was mention of the employees speaking in their own language - Somewhat true. This happens everywhere. I'd be surprised if you were to come across a shop that didn't do that. The girls looking on were very sweet and paid me a few compliments. They even helped me pick out a color. 3. Great selection of colors, gel included. 4. Nice massage at the end. After your first visit, they give you a card which specifies your visits and entitles you to a free 10 minute massage after eight visits. I think this is great customer service.

Worse Mani / Pedi Ever! Stay away from this place. The picture on their yelp reviews are accurate…read more Was in a rush to get to the city. Came in to have my nail gelled before a wedding reception. Called ahead and asked if they can do mani pedi at the same time - they said yes, so I came. Turn out that they could not do it at the same time. This appt went over 2 hours and I missed my other scheduled appt (one hour later). The result was awful! 2 days later they started just falling off and now we are 7 days later and I have only 3.5 nails left. I asked for French and the gel color was not the nice pale pink but rather candy pink and the french line was not the same to all fingers. Thin / Thick, round / triangle - even though I asked to change the color right away - they did not. The result was so bad! Stay away.

I am dissapointed because while the other ladies are doing a good job, my daughter and I got stuck with the ones that don't care about a regular manicure, I guess there's not a big tip for them.

Came in at noon on a not busy Sunday. They didn't tell me there was a wait for a pedicure and walked me to the chair. Five, ten, fifteen and then twenty minutes goes by (meanwhile my feet are puckered like raisins in the tepid water) and finally a woman comes to do my nails. Right away, I could tell she hated her life. She asked me if I wanted the spa pedicure, and when I said no, that was it. She was done with me. She proceeded to beat my feet up. The filing was abusive, the way she kept shoving my feet up and down was abusive, and her scrubbing was just short of torture. I winced in pain the entire time and continued to pull my foot away from her whenever she hurt me. Other customers were just staring in shock. She never spoke to me, never bothered to make eye contact, kept wiping her nose on her sleeve and it was over in about 8 minutes. My feet are still raw and red. If you are in the service industry, I would think you would at least try not to injure your customers. I am not exaggerating for the web, she was brutal. As for going above and beyond and actually smiling at them, saying hi, well that would be too much to ask for here.
