I've been going to Lee all 4 years as a student at URI. I've only had good experiences- inexpensive compared to other places nearby and good service. I hated a nail color I chose (my own fault) and asked if I could get it redone the next day and they were very kind to let me do so for a great discount. Definitely recommend! read more

UPDATE: As of December 7th, I am now also sick lol. Just really disappointing. I'm not usually one to write reviews and I've frequented Lee Nails quite a few times during the 5 years that I've lived in RI but this last experience will definitely be my last time returning. Their prices are great and I usually have satisfactory experiences here so I was not expecting this. My nail tech was EXTREMELY sick and most definitely should not have been at work unfortunately. She was wearing a mask and they do have the plexiglass still up at each station, so there is that. That being said, she was so sick that her mask was wet from the inside, she was spitting into the trashcan next to her, rubbing her nose, it honestly sounded like she had trouble breathing and her cough sounded...wet. I really hope she feels better, because she did not sound good. Not that it matters but I paid full price and tipped. Very basic gel manicure which is what I usually get, single color. Again, I hope she feels better. read more

Kim does my nails so well and her staff is wonderful they have some of the best prices around

Fast and great quality! Friendly staff. Clean facility. Generally easy to have walk in treatment but also easy to schedule an appointment quickly. Lots of color selections! read more

I had 2 separate "nail techs". One for my "manicure" the other for my pedicure. They both filed my skin. The lady who did my manicure filed my skin multiple times, I had to snatch my hand away. She was rough. I had dip done and she did not know what she was doing. My nails are disgusting. She didn't even perform a manicure, just applied dip after shaving my nail down. This is suppose to be a relaxing experience, My experience was horrible. I have never left a salon and been adamant that I was not going to tip. Nor have I ever tipped less than 15%. I did end up giving her $5 because she asked. I was not going to tip, the service was horrible! I won't ever be back, I don't think the ladies can see and I am certain they are not licensed!!! read more

This place is a crapshoot. You will get a great tech or someone who should not be in the business and you could do a better job yourself. I just got the worst pedicure I've ever had. she did not remove all the dead skin. My cuticles weren't pushed back fully, dead skin was not completely removed, the point where they massage your legs was just rubbing, and one nail wasn't even painted completely. I had to aak for the color and went to fox it myself but a different tech stepped in. Won't be going back. read more

DO NOT go to the woman at table 9. After going to every other nail artist in there with super kind energy this woman was HORRIBLE. She cut me three different times, could not work with REGULAR NAIL POLISH and stated under her breath how it was a waste of time. I don't usually care about talking it's whatever they feel most comfortable with but the only thing she said to me was so passive aggressive and full of attitude that I didnt even respond. There are very few times where I am shocked to that point. The unprofessionalism and just upset was insane from a place that is supposed to be relaxing. As someone who also works in customer service I am not paying for that kind of behavior. I am not returning until she gets fired because of how genuinely angry and horrible the whole experience was. I went home and ended up taking off the gloppy, streaky polish because it never dries after she applied a thick top coat. I did a better job repainting them at home which is insane. read more

I went to get a fill today previously I went there and lady at table nine damaged my nail from over filing corner of my nail so it was infected this time she charged me extra to replace the nail she destroyed I didn't want to go back but was embarrassed to go to another place with my damaged nail it was probably also due to dirty unsanitary tools she used on me , her station was discussing and she kept burning my fingers with the dremel whatever the machine is they use for filing it was very traumatic read more

Lee Nails - This is one of the nails from today table 9 did I didn't get her name she didn't introduce herself - Nail Salons Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

I hesitated to schedule an appointment as from the outside it appears to be a small strip mall establishment. A friend of mine recommended that I go. It isn't a glamorous spa environment but the service is great! The quality of work is excellent. Pricing is good. They are open long hours 7 days a week which fits my schedule. I have returned now several times and am always happy with the results for dip manicures and pedicures. Other friends also go here for waxing and eyebrow cleanup. Really nice staff. read more

Very small but friendly place They couldnt do an ombre or other effects but I settled on the sparkles and wasnt disappointed read more

Lee Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

Never ever go here. I've been maybe 3 times and they're usually bad but today was absolutely atrocious. First of all, the nail tech was on the phone the entire time making the whole experience 0% relaxing. Because she was on the phone she wasn't paying attention to my nails so they are so terribly done. See pic... says it all. The only reason I went here was because of the student discount, which they say is 20% but they only took $1 off my service?? I'll NEVER be back. read more

I had a few hours to kill while someone was having surgery so I decided to try this place since it's close to the hospital. The lady that started with me was lovely and pleasant and cordial. After filing my nails she turned me over to someone else who obviously did NOT want to be there and did NOT want to be doing my nails. She was unfriendly, stern and miserable. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

I would not recommend this nail salon to anyone! I had the worst experience with a lady all the way in the back. She was rude and inconsiderate. She also made it a point to make fun of my previous nails:( read more

The staff was surly and generally unpleasant. My technician kept looking at the door or at the clock. I asked her if she was waiting for someone to come in. Even after that, she continued to watch the other customers and not at the task at hand. I requested that she cut my nails very short. That amounted to talking to myself. The woman was wearing pointed blue nails. She used her pointed thumb to hold down my big toe so she could paint it. And, then had the nerve to tell me to stop moving. I told her to stop hurting me and I would. By this time, I was angry with her. There is a lovely place on Rte. 108, Park Nails. The people are accommodating and always polite to their customers. They were so busy today that I went to Lee's. There will never be a 'next time' with Lee's. read more

Worst pedicure I have ever had. I made an appointment and asked to maKe sure I had someone experienced that would do a good job. This was a birthday gift from a friend, I am so disappointed. It wasn't busy at all, for some reason the tech seemed like she couldn't be bothered, and rushed right through. my nails are all uneven, polish doesn't cover all my toes. Had to ask that a smudge be fixed. This used to the best place in town. I won't be going back. read more

The worst manicure I have ever received (and I get a lot). Was cut in multiple spots, nails very uneven, and gel polish built up around nails. Will never be returning here and will be advising others to not waste their money. Going to another nail salon now to get this removed and redone. read more

Lee Nails is my favorite nail salon out of any in the two states I live in- Maine and Rhode Island. With a student ID you get 20% off any service any day of the week and that's hard to beat. They do 20% off any service for anyone on Tuesdays. The women here do a wonderful job and I don't think there has been one time that I've left here not completely satisfied. They're very friendly and patient. It's best to go during a time when they're not super busy, but they move relatively quickly. I've never had any issues with the cleanliness of the facility. I go here when I want to treat myself. Shellac manicures are only $25 ($20 with student ID) and they have a huge variety of colors to choose from. NOTE: They can only accept tips in cash, so make sure to have a few extra bucks on you when you go! Believe me, you'll definitely want to be tipping them well. They do accept credit cards for payment. read more

I have come here two times in the last month and had great experiences both times!!! Very happy with my pedicures and the staff was very friendly!! read more

Taken right away as a walk-in - 1st visit there. Was greeted warmly & politely! DARY did my pedicure and was very skilled and professional!! She did an outstanding job and was very attentive & pleasant!! Best salon experience & the lowest rates I've ever had. Highly recommend - especially DARY!! read more

I called at 1:30pm to make an appointment for 4pm, I arrived at 3:52pm used the ladies room and by the time I was asked the reason for my visit it was 4:02, two younger ladies who arrived after me were seated and nail techs shortly started to work on them. It's now 4:17pm and I ask how much longer and when I was told "im coming right now" by a nail tech that was clearly still working on someone else .. that's when I knew my time wasn't being respected nor treated as fairly as the other individuals.. bothers me more that I took time out of my day to share a negative experience. read more

They were easy and quick to make an appt once covid ended. I made an appt for a bunch of family members. We all literally paid the same price for a pedicure yet the women were given 1.5 hrs while the men were done in 15 minutes. Not to mention they cut our toes and the nails were all uneven and never did a callous removal or massage. read more

Do not go here ! My friends blue acrylics are extremely bumpy and has an uneven color. Her experience was very rushed. My nails the purple, we're fine at first but the next day they started turning brown and cracking. We had two different nail techs and both are unsatisfied with our nails. The pictures speak for us. read more

Go here for a mid manicure. College girls beware, they don't fulfill the Pinterest aesthetic. My nails came out chunky and botched.

Had a nice experience as a first-timer to this salon. My technician was very friendly and took her time with my shellac manicure. She even recommended a different top coat color when she thought my original choice was too dull. Nail shape looks great and the color hasn't chipped at all! Only negative: called a day ahead to make an appointment, but when I arrived I had to wait for a few walk-ins to go before me. I sat down about 20 minutes after my scheduled time. read more

Lee Nails - Shellac on natural nails. - Nail Salons Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

this is my second time going here. the first time they did an awful job, it was a simple four color design. one of the nails was supposed to be grey and as she was putting it on it seemed fine but when she was done it was an ugly pink that color changed to grey in cold water which isn't what i asked for. today i went back thinking i could give a second chance and asked for a simple design, it was a french tip but the middle wasn't filled so just two lines in the form of a tip. she said her hands weren't steady enough to be able to do it so i said that's fine and showed her a simple french tip design and she completely butchered them. i also think they are over priced and i do not recommend. i also payed $47 dollars and i do not think it's worth it what so ever, no matter the design. read more

This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a nail salon. The nail lady was extremely rude to me and was physically hurting my nails. She would text and use her phone every 30 seconds when painting my nails which took 3x longer than usual. I was sitting not even a foot away from her and she coughed right into my face and laughed. I was extremely angry and disgusted. I will never be coming back to this place. read more

I'm always happy with my results here. If I don't love something, they work with me to make sure I'm happy. On this day I just got a pedicure but I was very happy with the price and the quality. read more

Lee Nails - I got a nice red color. - Nail Salons Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

Definitely will not be going back...I had to ask my nail lady to redo my nails even when i showed her a picture of what i wanted. She was also pretty rude and was on her phone texting and calling her friends, counting her cash, and would not bother to have a conversation with me despite my efforts. Also I went with a friend and they sat us on opposite sides of the room. My friend also had a bad experience and felt her nail tech wasn't very hospitable and seemed uncleanly (from the dirt under her nails and on her hands). I would recommend Stellar Nail Salon instead even though they are a bit pricier, i have never been disappointed with them! read more

My daughter & I go here on a regular basis. The girls are friendly and never pushy (like some of the other places). They do a great job. When I get the shellac it seems to last forever. The prices are very reasonable. read more

Always have a long wait time when I make appointments in advance. Had to end up leaving with out getting my service.

I thought I'd try this place since it had somewhat good Yelp reviews. I wasn't pleased. My technician did spend time on my mani pedi but the gel mani I got was very sloppy. It looks like I did my nails myself. I appreciated the 20% student discount but I'd rather pay full price for a good final product. If you absolutely need your nails done, go here. If you can wait and find a better place, do so. They get three stars for being friendly and accomodating me as a walk-in. Unfortunately, I won't be back. read more

I made an appointment - I was taken 30 minutes late and was told they would be able to finish my manicure so I could still leave on time. After doing everything but the polish - then told it would take 20 more minutes just for polish. I had to leave so they then charged me for a manicure and I never got my nails painted. Will never return. read more

Some dope a** nail art and didn't even take over 2 hours. Service was great and clean. Don't judge a book by its cover, this place looks bad at first but everyone in there knows what they are doing read more

Lee Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

I have gone to Lee's ever since I started getting acrylic nails and they have almost always came out perfect. I recently have been going to a phenomenal nail tech named Lilly for the past couple of months and she never fails to make my nails just as I want them! read more

By far the best nail salon in South Kingstown. The ladies who take care of you are sure doing a fast and efficient job without causing any pain in the cuticles that most nail salon people don't care about (and I am extremely sensitive)! So thank you for those beautiful mani/ pedi and thank you for not hurting my hands and those wonderful student discounts and Tuesday deals!!! read more

I have used this business for years. I always had to beg the nail tech to not grab and twist my fingers as I have neuropathy . Due to an extra long wait this past Tuesday I visited another salon that was equally good and less expensive. Also the gal handled my fingers with care. read more

I came in for nail services. I watched as every white person was taken ahead of me. I SUGGEST if you do not want to serve people of color, please be honest, and post a sign. THANKS read more

I went in for a pedicure and was attended to right away, which was great as a walk in. The woman who did my service was very nice and friendly, however it felt like everything was rushed through. There was no foot massage to speak of besides a slathering of lotion. Too bad, because that's my favorite part! Oh well, I tried them out, but will not return. You get what you pay for. read more

Awful experience. AWFUL. My pedicure took forever and was so-so. My 6 year old daughter got her nails done as well. It cost $20 for hers and they took about 2 minutes doing her nails. No care or "experience" for her. And they look like crap. No offense to my daughter, but she could have done her toes better. If they were going to handle it that way, they shouldn't be the cost of a regular pedicure. Spent $75 on our toes and I will be redoing them asap. Not happy! read more

First time here and loved it! All the ladies in the salon were so friendly and welcoming. They took their time and treated my mani pedi with such care. I will definitely be returning here. read more
