I explained to her what type of colors I like on my nails, since I'm brown skin color, I like color that pops but not too bright or too striking neither too dark, or that could blend with my skin color (I'm a little complicated since I don't like all colors lol), but she was very understanding and helped me suggesting different colors and pick the perfect one. I loved the result . Prices are very affordable. I'm definitely going back to her and I highly recommend her

The quality of my manicure was a 10 out of 10. Remember the good old days when a manicure included soaking your hands before they worked on your cuticles, cleaned under your finger nails, massaged your neck, and gave you a fantastic hand massage? I will return for all my future manicures and pedicure. The quality of service and very personable staff made this such an enjoyable experience. This salon has been opened for less than 2 weeks.

This is an extremely strange nail salon. I went a handful of times trying to make it somehow work…read morebut the final deal breaker for me was when one of the employees harassed me unceasingly regarding my nail appointment upon my arrival. She asked if I had an appointment and I responded yes but she then proceeded to ask me several more times. I strongly suspect that it was my off-day attire that included a hoodie, baseball cap and mask that guided her non-stop barrage of questions. Understandably, I was extremely underdressed but so what, we're at a nail salon, am I required to wear my Sunday best? I can't understand the oddness of both the employees and customers of this salon. After sitting down awaiting my appointment, the customer that was being attended to by the "question asking" employee stared at me intensely. I noted that before embarking on her uncomfortable stare down, she was whispering with the employee. Of course I don't know what was said but whatever it was most certainly prompted the stare down. When my nail technician did finally appear, I guess he had overheard what transpired but elected not to chime in, informing his over zealous colleague that I did indeed have an appointment and I wasn't just sitting there awaiting the right moment to rob the place. In retrospect, I feel that if he had simply spoke up, that uncomfortable situation could have been avoided. Once he started doing my nails, he launched into this extremely awkward dialogue about how his colleague didn't recognize me and thought I was someone who wandered in off the street without an appointment. He also mentioned my attire and how they aren't accustomed to seeing me dressed that way. REALLY!!! It took me a while to fully grasp what I believe took place. I think this nail salon to be a place where only a certain type of people are welcome and anyone deemed different is not welcome and as if the staff were not unwelcoming enough, even the impolite customers who sit and stare unceasingly are odd and impolite. This is an unfriendly and unwelcoming place and I am not okay with their behavior. Not once during my handful of appointments was I even greeted when I walked in the door. On top of all of the above, they really aren't that skillful in the business of nails.

I do consistently come back to Charming Nail in Cranston but lately their service has been falling…read moreshort. I typically request an appointment online and despite doing so unless it is early in the morning the appointment always runs much longer than necessary due to how busy they are. I'm not sure if it is due to overbooking or just allowing too many walk-ins, but I have definitely had to wait over 20 minutes for an appointment I made in advanced which is unacceptable. Charming nail is one of the only salons in the area which offers dazzle dry, but the consistency of the service is all over the place. Some technicians follow the dazzle dry procedures perfectly which results in a long lasting manicure, but others don't and my nails chip less than 24 hours after being done. This is frustrating when I'm spending $30 plus tip for something that doesn't last. Especially when I'm getting nails done for a special event. Overall the vibe of the salon is good and the people are nice, but I do hope this lapse in recent service rectifies itself so that I can feel confident in going back.
