City Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

This place has gotten really bad ! The way they rush your nails , to their horrible attitude and the unbelievable filth ! It literally is gross ! I was there today when I asked for a certain nail look and showed the nail tech "Sam" she gave me something totally different then what I asked for but I wasn't really that mad UNTIL she burned my foot with a scorching hot water then had the audacity to not even apologize and say "you take hot showers right ?" Her attitude today was disgusting and I feel she purposely burned me , she held the water towards my foot rather than checking it first ... The bathroom was gross with what I'm sure was period blood all over the toilet and exposed tampons! It was gross ! Never returning here and I'll be filing a complaint with the board of health ! Attached is a photo of their lovely bathroom! Gross ! read more

This salon came highly reviewed from coworkers, so I was excited to give it a try. I asked the man who wrapped my nails if he would be doing the dip powder as well. He said yes, so I explained which nails had tips and which shape I like. After he removed the previous dip, he sent me to someone else who didn't seem to understand my explanation, and I had to go over it a few more times that two nails needed tips to be the same length. The middle finger on my right hand was filed significantly thinner and broke within three days. Less than 2 weeks in, 3 total nails broke. Every single finger is lifting and chipping at the base. I don't want to exaggerate, but this is the worst dip manicure I've had in 3 continuous years of doing dip powder. read more

City Nails - Mint dip powder - Nail Salons Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

Omgoodness so I called and wanted acrylic but the lady said it's too late for 5:30pm appointment and negotiated me doing mani and pedi with regular gel. The day of the appointment I shelve everything to be there at the 5:30 and I left at 6:05pm without getting attended to because they backed up that's BS because you lack etiquette and probably over hyped * am taking my greens elsewhere but guess what your poor shitty service will soon be obvious because you ain't shit. And imagine that I was transacting all along with the owner and she's that lackadaisical. Smh read more

Fuck city NAILS I will NEVER NEVER STRP FOOT IN THAT PLACE I was a loyal customer for over 20 years tipped very well and been there through different management/ owners ....

I walked into city nails, waited an hour and a half and walked out. I decided to blame it on myself for not making an appointment. The following day I called and made one for 4pm. I showed up at 3:30. Waited till 5 and still had not been seen. Other women were being taken before me!!!! I am not the type of person to yell or start a scene. So again. Second time. I walked out only to be chased down by an employee saying "I can see u in a little!" I kindly said "no thank you" and drove off. I will NEVER set foot in there again. read more

Lynn, Lynn, the city of sin, Your nails look way better than when you came in! If you want a nice, quiet, relaxing spa environment - do not come to City Nails. If you want a fun, entertaining, laugh-out-loud pamper sesh - welcome home! The ladies in here are awesome - Nica the owner is actually one of the more mild-mannered of the group, not like many salons where the owner is barking orders at her serva-- I mean, employees. The rest of the crew are all clearly pretty close and relaxed and it makes for a welcoming spot. Kim & Tina are hysterical cousins - born and raised local so full of sass and spunk. Kim did my pedi - she had me pick out a nail design first so she matched the pedi color to the design, but not before suggesting I get the design on my big toe & just do the color on the rest. These girls must moonlight as used-car salesmen because the whole staff just upsells you all day! I declined the pedi design and Kim got to work - efficient, not too fast, not too slow, meticulous (in a good way) and chatty the whole time. It was a great pedi. Tina did my fill - she told me my nails were basically shot (even though they were only two weeks old!) and I should go for a new set instead of a fill. On this I actually did agree with her because my every nail was lifting from the nailbed and the overall quality was just lacking. Screw it - let's go full set. As she applies the nails, Tina asks me if I'd like to try the UV gel. I've already established that I want gel over the design to make it last, and she tells me the full gel nail -- better powder, etc. -- is only $5, lasts longer, and looks better. Shit, she got me again. Sold! Tina does one of the best nail designs I have ever had. Ever. Seriously, the up-selling thing doesn't even bother me that much because if you REALLY don't want something, just say no. Plus that's these girls' jobs -- to make money. Can you blame them? I can't. Not when Tina is turning my phalanges into fantastic fingernails of fun! Pretty much the only hangup during the whole afternoon was the UV light availability. They only have one large (two hander) and one small (one hander), and both were in use. Tina and I had to wait about 15 minutes before one was available. I didn't really mind; there was so much going on around with all the conversations and chatting with Kim and Tina -- 15 minutes came and went. The finished product was outstanding - I still can't stop looking at it! My style is absolutely over-the-top crazy but this talented shop can make any nail style/design/type/shape/whatever a reality for you. Price-wise, I ended up paying $68 for a pedi ($23) and a "fill" turned full set ($20 + $10 for gel topcoat + $5 for full gel + $10 for design = $45). Considering all the bells and whistles, not bad. I definitely would have skipped the pedi if I had known my $15 fill was going to turn into $45, but I'm still happy & will be back for more. Thanks gals! NOTE: You CAN tip on credit cards, but remember credit cards charge merchant fees. Be nice! read more

BEST SALON FOR DESIGNS- EVER! I used to live semi close and now I travel upwards of an hour just to get a perfect shaped acrylic and fantastic designs from Tina or Sophia. This place is amazing. I have tried places near me and nothing compares. It is a little pricey (~$50 set with design/gems and gel)- but totally worth it. They can do anything you could ever imagine! Great salon and nice people. read more

Tina is hands down the best person I've ever had do my nails. I'm normally very picky and previously have to explain in detail what I want and how I like my nails. With Tina I can say do whatever you want and they never end up coming out anything less than amazing. read more

Love City Nails! I initially heard about City Nails from my friend who is a Lynn resident and has been a loyal customer for years. She gets the Bio-Gel. She absolutely loves it. So I decided to go with her after hearing her rave and having immaculate nails. I'm not exactly sure why more people haven't reviewed this place. It's ALWAYS packed. I can only make it on Saturdays since I work close by at my part-time. So when I can I tell my boss I'm leaving early rush out the door and make the 15 min drive to Lynn from East Boston. Let's be real the actual building is not the most glamorous or chic but whatever. IDGAF about the building when it comes to a $30 mani-pedi! Go see Cindy. She's awesome. She took about 45 mins on my feet. (Poor thing) She's soft spoken, young and DETAILED. She cleans her tools and the pedi-tub before and after each client. If you're looking for a quick pedi Cindy is not for you but she is by not means slow.She also did my mani and it was fantastic. She really takes her time with cuticles, double and triple checks. First time I haven't been abused by the cuticle nipper. The other girls are also great. They are all young, funny, talkative and take their time. Not a rushed sloppy job. Quick? yes and cheap! read more

City nails is the only place that I will get my nails and wax done... They are the best, and always busy, so I'd call for an appointment before popping in. They take walk-ins too... You can't beat the prices for the talent here. I swear by Nika, the owner, but all the girls are awesome with the designs and add-ons. I'll be back in 2 weeks.... =) read more

I come here as much as I can and can say it's a great place. The workers are always so nice and always do my nails so good. Definitely will my go to nail spot read more

Love City Nails. Sophia is my girl, she is the best and super sweet. When I first started going to City nails, the crazy nails were in and Sophia would do amazing detailed freehand designs and never would be upset about having to do them. The prices are cheap for the service provided and they make it a comfortable enviornment. Union St location isn't the best place, but it works for them and they're always busy. I usually don't have to wait long without an appointment, except for around lunch or dinner time which is expected. read more

Worst f***** Mani and pedi waist of my fucking time and money the technician only spent 10minutes on my feet. She had the nerve to tell me It's is basic pedicure that I requested. Please please don't go there. Save your time and $ go somewhere else.They don't even deserve 1 star... read more

Tina at City Nails is amazing! She is a true artist when it comes to nail art and will take as long as she needs to make sure your nails look awesome. Cutting edge designs, add ons and reasonable prices make it worth driving from Burlington to Lynn to get my nails done ! read more

While trolling yelp for a nail salon that will do anything I want to my nails, I stumbled upon this little gem. The staff at City Nails could not have been nicer and are willing to fulfill your ultimate nail fantasy. For me it was a hot pink/glitter/zebra design with shellac which is still perfect days later. The only reason I am not giving City Nails 5 stars is because decor is lacking and the space is in desperate need of a make over. I loved the efficiency, the immaculate job, the eager to please staff, the friendly vibe and the overall product. I will absolutely go back for my next manicure and with the reasonable prices, I can even afford to! read more

Love city nails so much! The staff is so talented and friendly. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because I called ahead for an appointment and I still had to wait 45 minutes... only 4 people working. They really can do anything you want to your nails and have great prices for all the work that they do. read more

If I could give zero I would because they're service is fucking horrible. Appointment made hours and days ahead of time or walk n basis every time I come here they make me wait an hour or half our, if I made a fucking appt why are you making me wait? It means I get there and get sat down not wait for you to finish with other people, it's just not fair and not good service. Stick to your damn word read more

City nails has always been my go-to place because they're one of the best nail salons in Lynn and they're very talented at what they do. It's a real shame though that the service isn't as great as their talent. They're not like incredibly rude, I mean some of them are really friendly but the newer girls aren't that professional. I decided to go with passion nails also in Lynn because I was disappointed about the way I was treated last time. city nails does a great job but don't expect to get great customer service (hopefully you won't get any of the new girls). read more

I joined Yelp just to write this review I went for a pedicure and a brow wax, simple right? I've been getting these services regularly since my mid-teens (i'm 39) but City Nails takes the cake for worst experience ever. Dirty, dirty, dirty!! Did I mention dirty? I've never been to a nail salon or any salon for that matter that was this nasty. Don't get waxing done here their sanitation practices leave much to be desired. I worked as an esthetician in the past. I know what MA regulations are and this place is seriously lacking... As for my pedi that was just as atrocious. read more
