Just moved into the area a few weeks ago and was on the hunt for a nail salon closer to home. Came to this location on 12/22/19 and was greeted by everyone. Very friendly enviornment and clean vacinity. I'm a stickler when it comes to mani's & pedi's but I'm glad to say that Mary did an amazing job with my gel mani, pedi & leg wax. So I definitely plan on coming back for my pampering needs. Price is reasonable for the area. Cash is king! read more

I keep trying this salon and it never gets better. The absolute bare minimum pedicures. They don't even clean under your toenails and barely scrub your callus'. Left with uneven and rough edges on all toes. Completely over priced for the service they provide. Try being more thorough. read more

Judy and Elena ALWAYS do a great job. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. read more

RUINED OUR NAILS. I actually feel terrible leaving this review and never feel inclined to leave reviews but within 3 minutes of sitting in the chair my nails were in worse shape than they've ever been in and we agreed that we had to leave. Technicians started ripping and prying the gel off with their fingers and cut down our nails insanely short. They'll need weeks to recover. Terrifying experience please save yourself the stress. read more

Found this place on yelp as I was looking for a new salon around the area. Didn't realize reviews were from over a year ago. Went in asked for mani and pedi and after sitting, got offered (pushed) to do pedicure "spa" option, which to me was nothing extraordinary. After pedicure, lady offered extra $1 for fast dry coat knowing I still have pedicure to do and will need to wait anyway. I chose for the long lasting nail polish which was $5 extra and polish are already chipping after a day. Lady put on hot towel straight on my hand without cooling first, I think she was on a rush for another client. On top of that I got a bit of an infection on one of my nails assuming the tools they use are not clean. The place seem friendly and they seem to know the clients who were there at the time. However, friendliness" should be the standard proper etiquette of any business. I just felt that they pushed to make the most money out of you and I didn't feel at all satisfied with the service given I spend a ton. I will absolutely not be coming back here again and am looking for a better place. read more

This was truly the WORST nail experience I've ever had. They say they close at 7:30pm and I go there at 6:05 and asked them to take off my gel manicure. They said they would repaint regular at no cost. They rushed doing my nails and messed them up so badly. They started cleaning up at 7:10pm and literally KICKED ME OUT at 7:29pm at which point they ruined my nails that weren't dry yet. They didn't tell me that they prefer cash only and don't take American Express. They are overpriced, rude and I would hate for anyone to have this experience getting their nails done. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

By far the most esxpensive nail salon in Stamford, but certainly not the best. They nickel and dime their customers beyond belief and even used my tip for the total taxable amount, illegal!!. $10 for the "quick dry" spray? I should have realized when I walked in on a Friday afternoon and the place was practically empty that I should have turned around and ran. $85 for a mani/pedi...... I feel completely ripped off! read more

Given the opportunity, I would rate Cosmo Nail & Spa with 10 stars! This spa has been a life-saver for me since Covid. I have received pedicures/foot massages, the occasional manicure, and full- body massages to ease the stress and strain of life. I have never been disappointed. This facility is clean and cheerful. The staff is polite and very helpful. The spa is run in an organised fashion; when I make an appointment I have never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to be served. The entire staff acts in the most professional and respectful manner. And the clientele recognises the quality service. Every experience at the spa has been a positive one, from the friendly customers to the respectful staff. I recommend calling ahead for an appointment, especially later in the week and on weekends as the place can get busy, especially around holidays read more

Cosmos is by far one of greatest nail spas in Stamford! Besides the beautiful manicures, the space is clean and inviting, and everyone working there is friendly and caring. My husband and I have also had terrific massages at Cosmos. I highly recommend Cosmos!! You will not be disappointed. read more

I have always exclusively gone to Cosmo Nail & Spa for my manicure, pedicure, and massage services. They are professional, accommodating, and welcoming. Judy and her staff provide a clean and relaxing (yet efficient) atmosphere for their clients. You can tell the customer's satisfaction is of the upmost importance. Their post COVID-19 response has not disappointed, either. I was in the salon a week after their reopening and felt extremely safe. They are following all CT state guidelines and taking every health precaution. Before customers enter the salon, the staff check to assure they are wearing a mask. Upon entering the salon, customers' temperatures are taken (and staff temperatures are taking periodically during the day) and they can immediately access a hand sanitizing station. Additionally, hand sanitizers are placed throughout the salon and a plexiglass barriers is at every nail station. During pedicures, the staff wear face shields. They seat customers with increased space between them. The staff wear masks, wash their hands between each client, and then use sanitizer before touching a client. The salon smelled and looked clean. The staff disinfected surfaces consistently. read more

Great manicure, they're welcoming & it's a good vibe! I usually make an appointment, yet never a wait & even when busy they accommodate customers quickly! read more

I will never go back to this place. I came here to get my acrylics removed and a simple manicure. Pretty easy request you'd think. To my shock and dismay, they left an entire layer of the acrylic on my nail and the manicure itself was a sloppy mess. I had to go to another salon to get the acrylics removed. Really disgusted that they couldn't even complete this simple request read more

I pay $45 for the worst gel manicure. The young guy didn't clean my nail, filed them unevenly, cuticles were not pushed or removed. I asked for a French tip. The lines are not straight. So disappointed. NEVER AGAIN read more

Excellent & friendly service! Very accommodating. No wait if you have an appointment. Relaxing vibe while you're getting pampered. This is my weekly heaven. read more

This salon is located in a small strip mall. Minimal parking in front, tons of parking behind the building. I met my sister here, as it is exactly halfway between my house and hers, and we needed vacation nails done and final trip planning to go over. We got pedicures, which were expensive. I wasn't sure if there were regular pedicures available, the only menu we saw or was offered to us were spa pedicures, which started at $36. Checking the menu online just now, it looks like they offer normal pedicures starting at $26, but that was not offered to us, and no normal prices/menus were anywhere on the walls or anywhere in the store. Way to take advantage of the new people. The pedicure was good, the ladies were good at their job. My sister's technician seemed new and kept checking in with my technician to see if she was missing a step. Then, towards the end of my treatment, I guess my technician had an appointment come in so she rushed me up and out of my chair, causing me to smudge the fresh polish (she then crouched on the ground and painted over and over instead of redoing the polish), and then disappeared while my sister's technician finished us up and took our money. Not sure I'll be back here again. There are a bunch of options right on this stretch of road. We'll try a few more places before we decide what our normal meetup spot will be. read more

I treated myself to a massage & manicure yesterday afternoon. What a clean & tastefully done spa. Everyone was so friendly & helpful that I could have stayed the entire afternoon. Ask for May & Alina when you go. read more

I'll never go back again. They have no respect for their customers time. Even with an appointment you can wait an hour to have your nails done. And last time I went they stopped in the middle and started working on another customer! Beyond rude! Horrible place. No way to treat people read more

First time going- got a pedicure with color and manicure no color and was out the door in 25 mins!! For the pedicure I wish they would scrub and massage more- the manicure the nails aren't cut evenly and there is a lot of cuticle left. I wouldn't say I don't want to go back there again but def not my first choice. It seemed rush. read more

UPDATE: I spoke with the owner who explained there must have been a language barrier. She refunded the difference which is all I had hoped for. I will go back but I'll be certain to use one of the nail techs I've used before to prevent a similar situation from happening. Very disappointed with my gel manicure. I was convinced to try a gel manicure. The nail tech nicked my cuticles, making them bleed, blamed it on my dry skin. In addition she charged me $60!!!! Just the week before I paid for a family member's gel manicure and it was $35, another family member goes regularly and is charged $35. I intend on speaking to the owner as I have been to the salon a number of times and never had a bad experience. read more

Love coming here. Judy and her team are great people. You tell them how you want it and they'll do it!

Save yourself the money and don't go here. They couldn't even do a simple star design. They made my nails way too short and didn't even ask what length I wanted before cutting them. They're all very uneven. Just don't go here. read more

Cosmo is accommodating, spacious, and professional. The service is top quality and consistent. During the pandemic this place has been particularly thoughtful, putting out hand sanitizer and clean masks if needed. I've also watched them sanitize surfaces after service. The amount of space at cosmos's also makes social distancing easy. I've been going to Cosmos a long time and will continue to use them. They've got a great selection of spa pedicures too! read more

Very clean. Great prices. Technicians are very friendly and do a great job. It's in a convenient location too to get errands done before or afterwards (CVS, Trader Joe's, FedEx, Starbucks, DSW, etc). read more

Love this place. It is very spacious, clean, and everyone is so friendly. The prices are very reasonable and they always do a great mani/pedi. I don't do acrylics, gel, or powder so I can't speak to that. I just do regular polish. They also do nail art for only an additional $5. My friend goes here all the time and I finally went a few months ago and now it is the ONLY place I go. I highly recommend Cosmo. I also wanted to add that I just read the rest of the reviews on here and I wanted to say that I love that the owner takes the time to read the reviews and respond and offers to make things right for people who weren't completely happy. That is very good business practice! read more

The only nail salon I go to! They are the best at UV gel, tips and wraps. Ann and Judy are the owners and are very nice. Ann has been doing my nails for years- before they even opened their own salon! I do admit they try to sell as many services as they can ($5 no chip polish, $1 quick dry top coat, $10 massage etc.) but all nail salons do. Highly recommend! read more

I've been here twice. first time was fine, they try to push the massages to get extra money out of you, but manicure was good. went tonight and the girl was so aggressive on my cuticles, it was hurting me. I let it go until she cut me and I'm still bleeding, 2 hours later. I'm so annoyed and really hope i don't get an infection. read more

Cosmo nails is a wonderful nail salon. It is extremely clean and the ladies are very very nice. When I get my nails done I bring in pictures from the internet and they draw whatever I would like and it has never failed to be fabulous. If you want a plain manicure or if you want fancy pictures, it's the place to go !! Going to try and post a picture from today- May did a great job but Judy has also done beautiful designs- her roses are exquisite!! read more

The place is very clean, but I don't think that their cheapest pedicure is worth $36, it didn't take long, the girl worked too fast on my pedicure and I'm not happy about that. Then I got a back massage while getting a manicure but people were too loud so it was difficult to relax and enjoy. I don't believe I'll be going back as I can get a better and cheaper pedi somewhere else. read more

I've been hearing a lot of good things about the massages at the establishment for quite sometime. Today I decided to give them and I'm glad I did. I received a 20 minute massage from Jenny and I felt like I was in heaven. I've received chair massages in other nail shops but this was by far the best. She adds just the right amount of pressure. This place is very clean and everyone was friendly. Needless to say I'll be back for another massage which I have already scheduled!! read more

After sitting down and requesting a full set. Judy proceeded to add the the plastic tip. As she was glueing the plastic to my nail her finger got stuck on the tip and repeatedly. The she needed to soak my finger to release her own finger. It was uncomfortable so I decided to leave. Please don't go here if you want acrylic tips. I do not recommend... read more

These people are great! They fixed my acrylic set I had done elsewhere that was literally peeling and falling off it was so badly done and made my nails look BEAUTIFUL. Highly recommend. read more

Went here about two weeks ago for a pedicure and acrylic fill in. The pedicure literally took 15 mins. Worst pedicure I've ever had. The full was also fast and horrible. My nails look like a kid did them. Super wide and thick! Won't be coming back here again. read more

Excellent nail salon, Clean, friendly service.. one of the best around...definitely stop by.. great coffee next door too:)

Not impressed. The pedicure was all of 10 minutes and they spent most of their time trying to upsell me. Not a relaxing experience at all. Not to mention spent the extra money for the long lasting nail polish which chipped on two nails the next day. read more

$46 manicure and I was charged a few dollars over that price...Dishonest!!! They also used to be very friendly and now they barely say hello when you come through the door. I won't be coming back. Too many around to deal with this. read more

Highly recommend. Very clean salon, lovely people, great manicure & pedicure. Right near Stamford Trader Joe's so perfect to add on to shopping trip. read more

Cosmo nail salon is serene, clean, and sparkling with friendliness and great professional service. What a wonderfully relaxing experience!

They are slightly more affordable than other places and certainly more eager to please the customer (NEVER go to Great Nails-awful). Also, Cosmo is actually owned by two of the nail techs who were mistreated and underpaid during that scandal in Stamford a few years back. They employ a lot of the other people who were in the same situation back then- bussed in from somewhere in NY and barely making a livable wage. They are so appreciative of the business now that things have changed! read more
