Have been a client for many years now. Dash is friendly and remembers what you like and have never failed me. Always pleased!

I've been coming to this Salon for 6 years since I moved to Stamford from Boston. Their prices are reasonable, color choices are extensive, the people who work there are so nice, and the place is always clean. I knew this was the place for me when I watched them know almost everyone by name. They even remember the occasions for which you're getting your nails done. I've seen whole families get their nails done there (mom, grandmothers, sisters, husband, etc). They quickly learned my name and preferences no matter who does my nails. They also fix your broken nails for free. read more

I found this place on the fly and liked that they were super busy...a good omen I thought. The original lady pawned me off to another one who didn't seem to know about doing so powders. She did not coat my nails in any base powder whatsoever. She took to the drill and I wound up with what is in the picture. So after I left I realized that there was very little top coat on my nails and they felt like gravel. Had to go back and they grilled. AGAIN. Then put the topcoat on "again". The manicure lasted about 9 days. Absolutely no idea what they are doing. I too got password around by 2 ppl. My nails are so thin that I cannot get another manicure until they grow out again. Not good. I moved so I don't ever have to go back but if I was still there I wouldn't anyway. The nail technicians need to be trained or something. Please don't be the objects of this training bc they don't seem to be getting better. read more

I'm pretty sure the nail technician stole my credit card info while she was swiping my card. Immediately following my appointment, I received multiple uber ears charges. They also rushed me out at the end which seemed odd by now makes sense. Not a terrible mani/pedi but buyer beware. read more

I have very thin, brittle nails & a bad habit of picking at them, so I get a gel extension manicure once a month. It stops me from picking and helps the nail grow underneath. Here are some sets I've gotten over the past 6 months! read more

I've been here years ago and wasn't a fan.. they did 2 pedicures before i quit going here- the nails were crooked and just not that great of a leg massage. I returned to get a manicure since they were open later than all the other surrounding area nail salons. I had no complaints about this manicure experience and it was a bonus that they had bright Barbie pink (which I haven't found at surrounding salons). Pricing is on par with all the other salons around here. read more

Dash really used to be an amazing nail salon/spa, but I feel like they are losing that, unfortunately. I understand that they are busy, and that is great. But the overbooking and constant phone calls make it such a hectic experience, you just feel stressed most of the time. I called in advance to make an appointment and I mentioned that I would want a design on each nail. When I got there, the nail technician said, "I can't do that!!" (A daisy design) but then proceeded to attempt and fail at making the design. Had to switch the design on the spot, and that came out pretty bad too, but at that point I just wanted to get out of there. My nails were rushed through, steps skipped, bulgy, just not at all what I wanted. I am even embarrassed to show people. I know they can do better because they used to. I hope this review helps them to see that I earnestly want them to go back to the care and time they used to take! Thank you. read more

As a new customer I felt rushed and they passed me around like a hot potato between pedicure and gel fill-in manicure. The facility is clean and you are greeted upon entry. Not too long of a wait time, considering I went on a weekend and I was seen immediately. Though their yelp says walk ins, they do take appointments and you will have to get up 1/2 way through your mani/pedi for the nail tech to see their appointment rather than them finishing with you. So I walked in and was seen almost immediately. I asked for a marble design (showed a picture) on 1 nail during my manicure. My one nail was a classic "expectation vs. reality" meme. Thank God it was only one nail. When I said "I think it needs another color so the veining looks realistic" the nail tech insisted that only one color was necessary. Needless to say I was disappointed when I walked out and annoyed because I paid more here than at my usual place for sub par service. Came here on a referral but I won't be going back. read more

The nail technician was definitely sick with no mask on. She rushed my experience but took her time with cleaning my nails. Overall, I wasn't happy. read more

Oh darn. Filled with optimistism upon seeing the Grand Opening sign. Courteous enough greeter/owner. Unsterilzed clippers. Nail files that look like they've been used on 50 people. Frowning manicurist who left a piece of dirt on the edge of a nail and could not file it smooth and straight after the requested dirt removal without involvement by the owner. Even after 30% tip. Then, aha, suddenly seemed to know how to check for straightness and smoothness. But streaky job. Hate to say it, but my nails almost looked better before I entered. They were not streaky. A friendly woman at the nail dryer bar said this was her third visit. For the same manicure!!! Been trying lots of nail salons in the area. Some passable, all disappointing so far. Please help, Yelpers! Sad to say, but when you see Dash, better make a mad one for any other nail salon nearby. read more

It's just okay. I've gel with tip nails keep braking and they don't know how to do a coffin shaped nail.

Been going to DASH for about 9 months. I was persuaded to get the CMD acrylic nails and Jenny did a good job. They would always start to split in the corners by the time 1 week rolled around, but they never lifted and my nails were usually pretty even. By the time 2 weeks came, there was normally good separation at the corners, but Jenny could get me in and out within 45 minutes. Spa pedicures were nice, but quick. I decided that the maintenance was too much for my nails. In the beginning, I was assured that the CMD product would NOT harm my nails and I just wanted everything off for a while. I made an appt with Jenny to have the product removed and was really upset that when I arrived she had the day off and booked me with someone else. The other person was very nice (they are all nice in there) but man my nails are TRASHED. I was charged an extra $3 for a certain color nail polish which started chipping the very next day. I'm not sure if my nails are splitting at the top layer (they're coming off!) or if it's the CMD product was not totally removed, but my nails are not going to look normal again until they completely grow out. The tools they use are NOT sterilized so be careful to bring your own. Otherwise they will just wipe off the instruments with the towel they used on you and throw them back in the drawer. read more

Love this nail salon! Everyone is so kind and they really take their time to do a thorough job. I called last minute to see if I can stop in to get a pedicure and powder manicure, and they took me right away on a Sunday! Always happy with the results I get from here. Definitely recommend. read more

Really bad quality of doing UV color and gel. Tried this place couple of times. First, I did UV color and they said it chipped in three days because my nails are too thin, so they redid my nails and one day after they chipped again. On the way out they recommended UV gel and top with UV color. The first time I did that, it got air between gel and my nail within a week, so when I came to redo my nails they wondered who did such a bad job. Anyway, I redid the nails again with UV gel and top with UV color. Stayed like this for 9 days and now chipped in different places. Bad quality! Bad experience! Not coming back! read more

I come here often to get my gel manicures done for 25 dollars. Always a positive experience. Staff is attentive to detail, and do not rush with my services. Many color options for gel manicure. My friend often gets the powder manicure for 35 dollars and she absolutely loves it! Only feedback for the powder manicure would be to get some more color options. read more

I have been going to Jenny for years and years. The ladies are always friendly, sweet and accommodating. They treat us like family and always remember small details about my preferences and life in general. They have a huge color selection and meticulous work. Not to mention how clean, modern and inviting the space is unlike most places around town. I highly recommend this business. read more

For $35 I got a spa pedicure that included a ten minute leg massage and callus remover. The girls talked to each other in a language other than English the entire time but that is to be expected at many places I suppose. It was a decent pedicure, clean, and no complaints so I would go back but I wouldn't go out of my way to make this place a destination for a particularly outstanding pedicure. read more

Love all the ladies they do great work, Ester does an amazing job. Good prices and if you call can always get an apt, but can walk in too.

They taught it was obligated to give a tip after I had paid the service fee and gave my mail tech a tip lady wanted each employee to have a tip and didn't let me leave until I gave them a each one. That was really unprofessional and it is my option to give them one if I felt like it. read more

I used to live in the area and have since moved to FL. I broke my leg and can't bend my knee at all. I needed a very gentle pedicure as my toe nails were too long. I called Jenny (owner) and explained the situation and they did a marvelous job. So in addition to being a clean salon, they were so accommodating and gentle in working on my leg while I was in a brace from thigh to ankle! read more

This is a great nail spa. I went in needing a pedicure without knowing anything about it, and walked out with a perfect pedicure and gel manicure. The spa pedicure includes a 10 minute leg/foot massage and is only $30. I asked for a gel manicure as I was about to walk out, and they accommodated me no problem. Gel removal was included and that was also only $30. And a short shoulder massage! They were busy, the place full of locals and return customers, but not rushed at all. It actually felt like a spa experience (they don't make you get up to wash hands, etc.). I would definitely recommend going here and would absolutely go back if I lived here. read more

If you'd like to know how Dash truly is, please read. It's safe to say that many people blow up a place 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. read more

I've been getting my nails done for 12 years and NEVER ever have I gotten a worse mani/pedi in my life. After covid I was so excited to get my nails done. And yet they didn't even take the time to clean my nails. They rushed to get me out the salon. I kept telling my nail technician my nails aren't even. They didn't soak my nails they cut my cuticles dry. I've been to countless salons NEVER has that happened EVER! I asked around everyone said it was unheard of. If I could give a negative number I would. If you want a bad over priced nail job go here! Hands down the WORST salon I have ever been to in all of my years getting my mails done. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

I have been going to DASH for years and have always loved it. I never liked anyone touching my feet but DASH makes my pedicure a wonderful experience. Maggy does my mani-pedi and she is awesome! Love this place - I am never rushed and they always make me feel comfortable read more

Dash Nails is the newest nail salon on an already over-saturated Hope St. of nail salons. That being the competitive landscape, one would think they should be sure to stay competitive with the many other choices people have. But it appears that is not the case. Last Sat., I thought I would give it a try to have the gel color service I get. As I was walking up to the door, I noticed a big sign in the window that said that gel color nails "$25.00 (Mon. - Thurs.)". My first thought was that was a little brazen given most salons in the vicinity charge $25.00, BUT they don't set limitations on getting that price. I walked in, asked about the sign, and they confirmed it was the case. She proceeded to immediately push me to come in. I told her I was going back to the salon I always go to. (Ace Nails in the Bob's Furniture store retail center. It's got a little older decor, but they are really friendly and do a very good job. Their clientele is faithful, and they get a lot of walk-in traffic, but I've never had to wait. Interestingly enough, one of her former nail technicians left Ace and started Dash). Here's my quandary... I get Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday tend to be busy for nail salons. But, there is no change in the quality of their work that justifies customers pay more on weekends. Will your nails be done in a more quality way than they do during the week.... Not likely. That business model isn't going to hold up against cost conscious, but quality minded patrons, who have many places from which they can choose. I won't be giving them my business. read more

I am shocked by all of the negative reviews here - I love Dash. They have great prices, knew me by name after just two visits and are always very welcoming. Not to mention, my eyebrows have never looked so good...like, ever. Since I started getting my eyebrows done at Dash I frequently get compliments from friends, strangers, even my CEO commented on them. (a little strange - but when you find a good eyebrow shaper you stay loyal to them!) Anyways, this is not a flashy salon, but you will get a good mani pedi at a great price with friendly service. read more

The lady that owned Reflections Salon in downtown Stamford opened this place up and she is so nice and good at what she does. I would definitely recommend this place. They know you by name and are very nice and polite. The salon is clean and they do a great job with manicures, pedicures, and gel manicures, i've tried them all! And my friend gets her eyebrows done here as well and is happy with them. read more

I have been here two times: The first time, I got a pedicure-- which was perfectly fine and only $25. Average pedi, nothing special, but neatly done and no complaints. The second time, I got my first ever gel manicure...and I was stunned when I left. The girl who did my nails (Lisa) clipped so much off of my cuticles that I was left with gashes, chunks of skin missing, and was bleeding on several fingers. What was worse was that she didn't even notice until I pointed out the blood on one finger. When I did, she grabbed the blue solution, splashed it on a cotton pad, and smashed it onto my finger--which stopped the bleeding, but made the pain worse. Maybe I should have gotten up and left at this point, but I am not the best at speaking up, and just wanted to get the job done and get out. The polish job itself was fine and lasted, but it took over a week for my fingers to heal, the skin to grow back, and the soreness to go away. I have heard good things from other people about the owner (Jenny) and some other technicians there (Joy), but I would recommend that anyone avoid Lisa at all costs. She was not gentle, and seemed to care less.Usually I don't make it a point to name drop, but I want to spare someone else the pain in the future. If I ever go back, I will be sure to make an appointment with someone else. read more

I am not from CT and I was looking for a good priced salon with a lot of reviews. I am happy to be adding this review after Esther and Grace did a fantastic job on my teenage cousin and I. Their gel manicure is $25 and compares very nicely to $35 and $40 gels at other salons in the area. I had one broken nail that I didn't want to cut and Esther gave me options on how we could fix it. It ended up being $5 to put a coat of strong gel on my broken nail which I was very happy to pay. Overall a great experience at Dash - my nails look fantastic! read more

Jenny is the best!!! She does my nails perfectly every time!! Highly recommend!! Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming!

Ive been here probably 8 times - the past 2 times I was pushed to try the UV gel on my nails which I dont like because the dryer usually gets too hot for me however I got it this time after my nail tech was persistent after I asked for acrylic 3 or 4 times. I got the UV french gel on my nails and it came out HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! You can see where I needed a refill from before. I will only come back here for pedicures which are pretty good- $30 for a spa pedicure that includes 10 minute massage. read more
