I have been a gloss addict for months now. I started going randomly because I got a shelliac manicure at another salon and one peeled off after a day and I needed the manicure for a wedding. The first salon refused to fix it without me paying for a whole new set. I called Gloss and after being welcomed to such a beautiful salon with warm people and clean atmosphere I was hooked! I then booked an appointment immediately to get my eyebrows waxed a week later and met Lihn. She is literally the brow whisper and changed my whole shape of the face. We had a long consultation about what I wanted and what she thought would look good and talked about a plan to grow my brows in slowly so it would not be so dramatic. After a few weeks and even months, I now finally have my perfect brows and feel confident. I see Lihn every two weeks to keep them up and would not change it for the world. I would wait hours to see her (Book ahead, she's so popular) It is so nice that I don't need to fill my brows in and as a makeup artist it really made me feel more confident at work. I also go for my manicures and pedicures and enjoy every second at the salon. I recommend the salon to all my friends and got my mom addicted. I personally go to Lihn but everyone seems amazing and I never heard anything bad! read more

Absolutely gorgeous spa. Great selection of nail color. I had Na for a technician, and she was very attentive and made sure everything was to my liking. I love the online booking and the "estimated time of completion" - it was accurate within the minute. Only subtracted one star because the pedicure didn't work as much on the soles of my feet as I would like. read more

I've been here a couple times to get a pedicure and it's been fantastic every time. The receptionist is super nice and welcoming. And the nail technicians are always quick and spot-on. My pedicures last for over a month when I get them done here. The only suggestion I'd make is for them to clean or replace the cushions and chairs because they do show quite a bit of stains and wear and tear. Other than that, I'll still be coming here to get my nails done. read more

Wonderful experience. Had perfect manicure with Na today. I have very weak nails and she was very careful and gave me a wonderful manicure. Also had a waxing from Hanna. She is superb. Highly recommend. Always super clean, attentive and kind. Love this place. read more

I gave been coming to gloss since it opened! Over all this time, the quality of the work here has never wavered! There are staff here that gave worked here from the beginning. That says a lot about My Linh's management style! Every year I give gift cards to all my relatives. Many are now regular customers. read more

Beautiful salon! I just tried it out last week and got a shellac mani and pedi with Mimi. She was very quiet, which i soon realized was her just being very focused and picky. She designed gel colors that were the colors I was looking for even though I had a very hard time decribing in. She would not let there be one tiny mistake with my nails... everything was done to perfection. read more

I've been looking for a place to get a mani-pedi for awhile now and I'm overall pleased with my experience at gloss. I got the technician named Cindy and she was very professional. She didn't talk much but I wasn't really in the mood for conversation myself and just let her concentrate on her work while I relaxed. My pedicure was amazing. Hands down one of the best pedicures I've ever had. The leg and foot massage was so relaxing. And I loved how clean everything was. My manicure was also relaxing and Cindy picked out a great subtle color for my nails. I didn't want the same bright color that I picked for my toes. She nailed what I wanted. She was also very quick and efficient with my manicure. I will however, second one of the reviewers who complained about the foot baths being a little too low. My feet were in the tub but just barely. They offer princess pedicures for little girls under the age of 12, makes me wonder how they accommodate them. And the hand and feet dryers were pretty uncomfortable. Sitting in a high chair without a back and then stretching to put my toes into the dryer was not the most pleasant experience. And the left side of my foot dryer didn't work all that well. A little disappointing at the end. That was the reason for the 5th star getting docked. I actually tried to go a week ago to get a pedicure but didn't have an appointment. I walked in and was told that they were booked up for the day. The receptionist was kind enough to offer to call me if they had any cancellations. But when they called me back later in the day, I wasn't in the area anymore. Definitely go to their website and book online if you can. This isn't the kind of place where you can just walk in and get your nails done. I liked how my manicure came out and I will definitely be back (I have a few weddings to go to in a few months, my own included). Looking forward to coming back. read more

This place is awwwwesome. got my first gel manicure here. SOOOO satisfied. Lizzy was the best. i work with my hands and the manicure is still 99% perfect after 1 week. By working with my hands I mean, I lift stone and repot plants and stock shelves and stuff like that. and the whole time my nails made me look like a rockstar. Lizzy was very friendly and did a great job trimming the crap skin around my nails. I didn't get a single ouchy. My perfectionist bf was watching and he was really impressed. Insisted on tipping alot, which is totally fine! hahaha we were both offered a drink, nice. I got a chilled bottled water, nice touch! $30 for a gel manicure is awesome. I called for an opening and was placed with someone for an appt for 15 mins later. pretty good availability. the place was so clean! and modern. and gorgeous. plus they autoclave all of their tools, so you see they come fresh out of the package that has been heated to kill all the yucky bacterias. A++++. read more

Heck yeah. Best mani/pedis I've ever gotten? Five minutes from my home. Pricey. But so, so, so worth it. Try to get an appointment with My Linh. She's amazing. I've gotten at least half a dozen pedicures and over a dozen gel manis here over the last few years and I've never had an issue with the service, the quality, and the price. I have a wonky thumbnail - it was hammered by a volunteer on a Habitat for Humanity site and is taking its $&*(#$ time growing back. No worries - they just put one fake nail on and do a gel mani so everything is consistent and looks great. Always super clean and comfortable - I love the decor and have always felt at ease in Gloss. They make you feel basically at home - offer you drinks, let you kick back and relax, and they usually have Netflix playing. I'm not one to sit and watch a marathon of Say Yes To The Dress, but hey, if my nails are going to look like a million bucks after, I'd watch just about anything on Netflix. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. read more

It was easy to make a last minute appointment. The staff are attentive and helpful. It's nice and clean. And they do a good job. The prices are reasonable and parking on the street. read more

A modern, open, very clean space, this is a terrific place for a pedicure. Great herbal scrubs and a huge array of colors to choose from. They also have plenty of space at the drying "bar" so you can let your color harden before heading out the door. I love their online booking system also, which gives time slots as well as the name of the nail tech, so you can select the person you want to work with. read more

This has become my favorite nail salon! I've stopped at other places and I'm just finding nobody better than Gloss. My only wish is that I could tip on my card because I always forget cash. read more

I'm a florist and I needed a little pampering after Valentine's Day. I'd been curious about Gloss since it opened a few years ago and thought It was a great time to try it out. The online booking is very convenient and they sent me a confirmation, a reminder, and a thank-you note after my appointment. My manicurist/pedicurist was Julia. She was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. I love the results will definitely be back! read more

I've been here 3x, and each time I've been so pleased with the service! Very friendly staff. They do a wonderful job making you feel comfortable, and willing to help with colors. Everything is very clean and they have about 6 million colors to choose from in both gel and non-gel. The price cannot be beat! They are so reasonable! Booking is easy and I love a nice Starburst afterwards (they always have a giant bowl for customers). The only downside is no massage chairs. That would make my review 5 stars for sure! I have, and will continue to recommend Gloss to friends and family! read more

In the past, I've been here before, and it wasn't bad. It's nice in there, very modern decor. As of last week, not so great. The woman at the desk was very pleasant. The nail tech wasn't so pleasant. I came in early and it was almost empty, She seemed to be in a rush. I got a pedi and mani (shellac). During the pedi, I requested that she took her time because she barely scrubbed. She negatively commented that my feet were "bad". This made me uncomfortable. During the mani, she rushed her way through. It was the shortest mani I ever had. I was very unhappy. The next mornig my shellac chipped off! This resulted in a nail braking off. I did call and they told me they could fix my nail in two days. I decided not to go back. Fast forward to a week later, I have two chipped nails, and both index fingers appear to be chipping now :(.... I will not be coming back. I didn't feel like a valued customer. read more

I just moved to Melrose and was looking for a new salon. I hadn't had a pedicure in over a year due to being pregnant during covid but decided to try this place out. The salon was clean, everyone was spaced out, wearing masks, and they did a temperature check at the door. It felt very safe. On top of this the staff was friendly and the pedicure was great. Highly recommend read more

Always excellent service by friendly professional staff. On time. Clean, safe environment.

Today was my first time at Gloss. I am new to Boca-read the reviews from other customers and decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. Maria did a fabulous job with my blonde highlights. I am very happy with the results. The salon is clean and not a scene which is nice if you want a calm atmosphere. The owner's mom is so nice too she like me has an affection for dachshunds! I will be back. Thank you for a wonderful experience. read more

Gloss is my ABSOLUTE happy place. I went from never getting my nails done to never missing my appointment every 2 weeks for 4 years now. The place is modern and pristine. Which I love, being a designer. I can't live without my gel nails from My Linh. I have literally not once had a chip or lift. They last me a full 2-3 weeks. She loves what she does, keeps up on all current fashion, & gives stellar color advice taylored to my personal style. Almost time for summer nails read more

I've been going to Gloss for the past 2 years. Each visit has been lovely and the service is consistent. The staff is really nice, professional, and they all do a great job. Today was no exception. I booked a mani/pedi for this evening as a treat to an end of a particular stressful couple of weeks at work. Both the mani and pedi were great and I went home. When I got through the door, my bulldog ran up to me and stomped on one of my freshly painted feet and smudged the paint on my big toe. In a panic and feeling really bummed, I called Gloss back, explained what happened, and they said no problem and to come back and they'll fix it. As soon as I got back there, they immediately fixed the paint on my big toe. I really appreciate how they go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy and satisfied. It's a great spot and I highly recommend it. read more

I had a gel manicure done and it started to peel off a couple days after on the side... This place has good ratings on yelp so this is very surprise to me. Had gel nails done before and this is pretty bad comparing to other places I been to. It's been a week and the paint is almost complete off my nails. read more

The service is wonderful there; all of their staff are very friendly and polite. Great color option. Very clean and well kept. read more

Absolutely horrible visit, I went to relax and get a pedicure. The woman sitting less than a foot away from me talked on her cell phone nearly the entire time. I finally had enough and asked the technician to stop the pedicure. I stopped at the desk to tell them I was leaving. At this point, they finally offered to move me. The place was mostly empty so there was no reason to put anyone right next to each other. I declined and they had the nerve to charge me for a half of a pedicure for cutting my nails and buffing. I will not be back. read more

Recently moved to the area and had been looking for a new nail place. Since my roommate and I both get out of work late we were having trouble finding a place to go. Gloss Spa took us 10 minutes before closing and did not rush us for one second. The pedicure we got was amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Online booking is nice and the place is esthetically pleasing. Not sure how clean their utensils are. Two of my finger nails got infected after getting my nails done here and their foot basins did not look very clean. read more

This is by far the best nail salon I've visited. Always clean and staffed with friendly nail technicians who preform an exemplary manicure and pedicure. I've been going here for several years and even after moving 3o miles away will still return for service. Their prices have remained reasonable and the online booking is very convenient. read more

The best nail place around, wouldn't go anywhere else. Karen is my go to but everyone there is fabulous. read more

Booked an appointment for my mom here with Kate! We just moved to the neighborhood and needed a new spot and my mom was more than happy with her services. She got a regular mani/pedi and got her eyebrows waxed. My mom said she would go back again and thought Kate was very friendly and good at what she does! The only reason I gave this review 4 stars is because I have yet to try the spot yet read more

During Covid, Gloss has been so careful following safety protocols for staff and clients. The spa is spotless and the staff is exceptional. I can't say enough good things about Gloss read more

I have been going to gloss for a long time and have always had a pleasant experience with eyebrow waxes by Lynn. Lynn is amazing but was not working. I went to get my eyebrows waxed and had an appointment. When i arrived i was brought into a wax room where the door was left open - the receptionist was running back and forth from my appointment to the desk to tend to other customers. I felt this was very rude and left with uneven eyebrows. I will not be returning. read more

Everyone at Gloss is friendly and takes the time to get to know me and my name. I absolutely adore Linh! She makes the appointment such a fun, social experience. I will be a Gloss customer for life! read more

Excellent friendly service, great COVID safety measures, All-around lovely experience!

Gloss is such a great nail salon. It is very clean and nicely decorated. The prices are reasonable, for the area. They accept AMEX, which is rare and appreciated! They have a good selection of polish colors for gel polishes and a huge selection of regular polish colors. I have gone to Gloss many, many times and I have always been highly satisfied with the results. I have had numerous technicians and they have all done a good job. They have a few different options for spa pedicures. I have only gotten a pedicure once. I prefer a deeper massage and also massage chairs, which they do not have. They also offer online booking, which is convenient. Although, it is not always working. The only "negative" that I would say is that parking can be difficult. But, that has nothing to do with the actual salon. I would just allow for an extra 5-10 minutes, ahead of your appointment time to find parking and walk to the salon. They also offer you a drink, which I always find to be a nice, added touch. Overall, a GREAT salon and I definitely recommend getting manicures here. read more

I enjoyed the look and feel of the salon and the people were very nice and accommodating. That said, I feel there was very little attention to detail or quality. Nail polishes are in no color order and a lot of bottles were near empty, half closed or were oozing with nail polish. A pedi and gel mani took only 1 hour. I went on a Friday and by Sunday half my nails were peeling at the edges and the were so thick with polish my nails looked distorted. I ended up peeling it off. Total waste of money, I will not be returning. read more
