    Probably the worst nails I've ever had. I went in for a regular gel removal and for dazzle dry. They did not soak my nails off but hand filed ALL of the gel off making my nails so thin and I even asked for a soak off. Even then they left so much left over gel on my nails that it was so lumpy and left the new dazzle dry gooey and clumpy and didn't do a thing. Do not go here. When I complained they blamed me and my care of my nails.

    It's so uneven and jagged and a totally different length than the one next to it.

    What a stunningly terrible experience! I called on Sunday to reserve a spot with a person who was recommended by a friend. No one told me on the phone but they don't allow reservations with specific people on Sundays so when I showed up, they handed me off to some other woman named Lisa. She couldn't have been less interested or enthusiastic about doing my pedicure. It wasn't an expensive pedicure, but she did a very unimpressive, rushed job. She cut way down the sides of multiple toenails so I'm probably going to get either an infection or ingrown toenails. I was on edge the entire time, not at all a relaxing experience. She has NO business doing dip nails. Mine are just horrible - uneven, jagged, ridges, not all the same length. She mangled my cuticles and almost cut me multiple times. I kept having to pull back, which somehow irritated HER when I was the one being tortured! I needed to leave as it was close to closing and I had kids to pick up so when I noticed just how bad the job was when I got in the car, I couldn't go back to get them fixed. I should've known the minute I walked in the door and the front end guy was arguing with a woman and her daughter about damaged nails being the daughter's fault. it's a 5 min fix, just fix it for the sake of customer service. It's also a very loud place, a bit rundown. The pedicure chairs are uncomfortable with flimsy little metal tables that can barely hold the weight of a cell phone. The people working there were constantly chatting amongst themselves and took zero steps trying to hide when they were talking directly about another customer (ex, the woman and daughter from earlier). They would both look at and hand gesture in their direction. The TVs were all tuned to a sports channel with interviews of football players, not even a game, which all felt like such an odd choice. I've only been there once so perhaps my experience isn't the norm but wow, the #1 worst mani/pedi I have ever had. It's hard to capture just how bad these are in pictures but I tried.

    Dip acrylic, dip French.

    BEDFORD LOCATION: Meh..... my 13 year old daughter and here with my mother. She got pressured into doing dip instead of acrylic. Her nails are shapeless and not what I expected, also she got gems which fell off before we made it home. I took her back to have a new one put on, and insist they put gel over the top. Side note, I was surprised at how many techs they have, looked like an assembly line. I know my mom goes here and is typically happy with the work, however I would not go back.

    So difficult to put a star value on this experience. First, let's start with the positives. If you're in a rush and need your mani done in 10 minutes (I got the gel) then this is probably your place. No small talk, just pick out your color, sit down, and they get right to work. My manicurist also was very skilled at prepping the nails and cleaning up the edges prior to polishing. The polishing part was a slightly different story... Unfortunately the list of negatives is far longer. I brought my grade-schooler and just wanted a fun experience for her. Sadly they didn't make it a pleasant experience at all. We tried being friendly. Making small-talk....nothing. I asked my manicurist, Tam, how long she had been doing her job and she made a joke in Vietnamese for her fellow coworkers there about that...but never let me in on the joke. ,,,And downright ignored me when I asked her in all seriousness. I eventually just brushed it off saying it was probably more than ten years. I had asked her how long she had done this job because she had done a great job with cleaning up my cuticles and done it so quickly yet so gently. On final inspection of my nails, she did a great job at keeping the color consistent and even on the nails and they looked good in the salon. Not until later did I notice that she did not smooth out my nail beds as well as she could have because the large ridge in each of my thumbnails was still very prominently seen under the polish. Even at home I can flatten this out with a rough file but she did not do this. The worst part of all this: She didn't even massage my hands. This was the part I looked forward to the most! She literally took lotion and rubbing my hand and forearm ONCE...and only on ONE hand. Then proceeded to have the front person ring me up for the charges. Oh and they tacked on an extra $7 because I got the 'tiger's eye' effect on my nails which looks very cool I will admit but sneaking in little charges and not even listing your prices for what appears to be a regularly-priced manicure color is not okay. I paid $47....for a gel mani. Very expensive for a 10 minute express mani that was very impersonal and unnecessarily cold. That did a great job with the mechanics of a manicure in general but missed one important detail of flattening the mail beds so they're not bumpy and prominent. But could not be bothered to give the customer a few minutes of hand massage for the nearly $50 they charge for the in and out experience. I gave 3 stars but I personally will never go back. I feel kind of ripped off and a bit like I wasn't treated with respect so I will never go back. And Tam, if someone asks you a question, answer them. Don't make jokes to your friends in another language and then they all laugh...and then just ignore me and keep doing your job. Extremely rude. I still tipped you generously for your time but you need to be a little kinder and a whole lot friendlier. Not everything is about money. Better to be a good caring person than about collecting your $$$$.

    I went to the location in Manchester off of south willow street. Charged 65 for a new set and 3 days after one nail was cracked and got it repaired. About a week and a half later my thumbnail was cracked and the index nail cracked and came off. Worse experience ever. I will never go here again!!!!'

    This is the second review I've written. The first time my review was taken down because the salon convinced Yelp that my review was not valid. Yelp wrote, "Moderators removed the review you posted to Glossy Nails in Bedford, NH because it didn't look like your content depicted an experience at this location." So, this time I am posting photos of my receipts for the last few times I was at this salon so Yelp moderators will hopefully realize this is a valid review. My content absolutely depicts an experience at this salon. It is the culmination of several experiences at this salon, each one less stellar than the one before. I will leave out the part about how they turned away a young woman with special needs because it wasn't about me - so therefore was grounds to remove my review, it appears. This time, I will be more clear that this review is the result of at least FOUR chances that I gave this salon after having good experiences at the Bedford Glossy Nails salon. The first experience in Manchester was good as the salon had recently opened. Each time after that, I noticed this salon's cleanliness declined to the point where I was concerned I might get an infection. The technicians do a good job, but the salon is not clean. The technicians never have instruments in a sterilizing bag. All their equipment is in a dusty basket that they use on customer after customer. The same files, drill bits, clippers, etc. are used on customer after customer and never cleaned in between. The last time I was there, one of the technicians used a wire brush to remove built up residue (nail polish, human nail residue, etc.) from a file. She then, without sterilizing the file, put it back into her basket and used it on the next customer. Dip is reused for every person, so if someone has a fungus, every other nail client who uses that dip is at risk. The technicians do a great job with polish. The equipment, however, is not sterilized or clean. Avoid the Manchester location of Glossy Nails. *To the Yelp Moderators: Glossy Nails Salon Bedford and Glossy Nails Salon Manchester are the same store in two different locations. Some techs go between the two stores. There is no Yelp page for the Manchester location. So, the only place to write a review is on the Yelp page for the main store - Bedford. Most of the negative reviews for the Bedford Glossy Nails Salon specify the review is for the Manchester store.

    Filed nail beds   Fear not, rinsed the cut with lots of acetone

    UPDATE: Bigger is not better. Since expanding their business and adding a second salon the service has declined, drastically. After coming here for 2ishh years I will be looking elsewhere. Let the pictures do the talking.

    I went in for a dip and pedi today and they were busy. Did not mind waiting at all since I didn't make an appointment. However the job on my nails is beyond awful. The dip doesn't even cover the whole nail. I asked for square and I don't even know how to describe this shape. I've been going here for years now and I'm beyond disappointed.

    Samantha K.

    Glossy Nails is okay at best. I've been in here 3 times now and was satisfied once, but even that time I was with a friend who was cut by the technician. I was in last Sunday for a Gel Manicure and pedicure. My Gel mani had a bubble in it right when it was done (see picture- I took this literally in the parking lot) and one of the nails is already showing edges lifting away (also attached a picture). My toenails look great, but I was cut 2 separate times (bled both times and they put some kind of green liquid on it). My friend who was with me had a great manicurist who was very much a perfectionist and did a great job. He started hers 15 mins before me and we ended at roughly the same time- so that tells you of the quality. Instead, go to Beautiful Nails in Manchester. Their Gel Mani's last so long that they grow out! They never ever lift, either (but I ask for the same person every time). Glossy is just a huge operation, so your chances of getting someone who isn't very good are higher. I have seen both great and awful work at Glossy Nails.

    This was my manicure in February 2020. It was the best I'd ever had, so I was really disappointed.

    MANCHESTER LOCATION: I visited this location in February 2020 before the shut down, and it was one of the best manicures I've ever had (third picture in review). I was excited to return for the first time after receiving my vaccines, but my fiancée and I did not have a great experience. They were really busy and we waited for a bit even with an appointment, which was to be expected -- it was a Saturday morning! The check in process was clean and easy, which I appreciated. Our pedicures were subpar. No scrubbing and both of our feet and toes looked dry after. No lotion, either. Maybe it's a COVID protocol now? It looked basically looked like we just had put some polish on our toes. Our manicures were pretty bad. You could tell they were both in a hurry and really rushed, same as our pedicures. No lotion or oils and our cuticles were dry and peeling after. I asked the technician to fix the paint on my fingers because of the weird build up at the cuticle, but she just put another coat on it. My fiancée didn't get a top coat on hers, either. Here starting chipping within a few hours. The paint on one of her nails literally fell off in the shower 12 hours later; we left it out of the photos because we tried to fix it ourselves, but it didn't work. I was so excited to come back, but I left so disappointed. I really wanted to like this place and the mail techs were nice, but after paying $70 for a mani/pedi including tip, it definitely wasn't worth it!
