Absolutely awful. I asked for an acrylic refill. Total was $45. I did not tip and here is why. - nail color is streaky, lumping, uneven, and has some bubbles - nail tech dragged the file so hard against my nail she caught skin and I bled - sloppy sloppy work - she didnt keep my nails in the UV light long enough - the polish still had the soft sticky feel to it - she ruined the shape of my nails (i wanted her to shorten my nails but keep the shape) - the acrylic was laid bumping and she didnt take the time to fix her mistakes - salon was disorganized, cramped and unclean My nail tech was an older lady. Apparently she was still drunk from the night before. RUN, not walk away from this place. read more

I have been going here for a while, I had a HORRIBLE encounter with one of the managers (Vanna) in September when I went to get my nails done for my birthday. She was extremely rude and had negative energy. I was so disappointed with my service that day, especially since it was my birthday I was never going to return. Luckily, one of my friends told me she goes to the same nail salon and her nail tech is very nice (Jenny). I decided to go back and try it out again. Jenny is the bestttt! She enjoys what she does and makes every appointment worth it. I've been going to her faithfully since October. I recently had an event to attend and Jenny was not available so I had to be serviced by Vanna. I was not looking forward to it but I'm glad things happened the way it did. She was STILL VERY RUDE in the beginning when she started doing my nails but once I told her that she was previously rude to me and is doing it again we talked it out she eased up a little. Although she never apologized for her rudeness, and she only changed her demeanor because I said something, I've put it behind me. But ANYWAY she slayed my nails, well the color at least. (She did keep pulling my hands and telling me I was not dipping correctly. This NEVER happened with Jenny. She also was a bit harsh on my cuticles) I got a mood color in dip (casual chic) and it came out great! I have been getting dip since October with Jenny but this was my first time trying the mood color. I've attached pictures! It's a reddish pink color when cold and orange when warm, I didn't know the orange was going to be so vibrant, I would've waited until summer but it's still bomb! read more

I came here for a dip powder manicure and regular pedicure. I do not recommend this place. Here's why: 1. Toe nails were not painted well. Paint was left on my skin and not cleaned up. 2. Tech said I had an ingrown nail which I never felt/thought I had. She cut it deep and on an angle. Now it's infected leaking pus. I saw this happen to another reviewer. She attached a photo. This hurts. 3. Manicure was extremely quick. No massage really and didn't cut my cuticles. When I asked why, my tech said it was because with a dip powder you don't need one. Um? She offered to do it when I brought it to her attention, I said yes. It was aggressive and fast. Pulling and tugging my cuticles. 4. I wanted the same nail polish color for hands and feet. My tech said she had the color available in both. When she went to find the matching powder, she took a while shuffling trying to find it and ended up picking up a similar-looking pink one. She was with another tech and they were talking and laughing about it. I assume they were laughing at me and how the color was close enough and I wouldn't notice. 5. On the wall it says that a dip powder manicure and regular pedicure costs $50. When I went to the counter, she said I owed $65. I didn't question it because I didn't want to come off as difficult. I also saw it costs $5 to remove nail polish. They add charges wherever they can get them. 6. The chairs are dingy, old, worn out. The massage function is janky, the mechanism loud and catching as it massages making it very comfortable. 7. My hand nails didn't come out badly. They look nice, but it's day 4 and now they are cracking within. 8. This place has the reputation of hustling you for money. I felt that and see that. Like I said. The nails weren't awful, but I don't trust this place. And that's my main issue. read more

I went on 12/23/2020 to get my nails done. I stopped going to this place about 5 yrs ago because they rushed me to take another customer. Recently, on my birthday, I decided to give them another try. That was my biggest mistake. First of all, I paid $32 for a basic pedicure (soap, cut down nails, scrub), there is a $2 up charge if you use a credit or debit card, and it was done in under 30 minutes. I'm disappointed because I spent the whole time complaining about how painful the experience was and the technician did not listen to me. On 12/26/2020 I went to urgent care and found out I have an infection in my big toe. The doctor said it could be due to lack of proper sanitation. I Informed my friend who recently became licensed to do nails and she that the moment there is an open wound they are supposed to stop doing your nails and as you can see, she continued to paint them. Please understand that this place is not clean. They do not care about anything except for money. It's unfortunate that their techs don't properly sanitize and my friend said that can due to the fact that they are not licensed. You have been warned. BEWARE read more

Covid-19 review Really good protocol for covid ! I gave 3 stars because although my technician was good, my sisters was so rude. Upon entering no one told us to get a color and when my sister sat down the technician harshly said where's your color! And then said go downstairs and get it. Her tone was rude and she didn't speak to her (and that's okay) ... the time she spoke was to ask her age and my sister answered. she then proceeded to speak her native language. Although we couldn't understand we can only assume she was talking about her and since she wasn't pleasant who knows if it was good or bad. On multiple occasion she threw her phone on the table and even said stupid- my sister looked at her and she laughed it off saying ha ha ha phone is funny...Getting your nails done should be comfortable and relaxing not hostile and uncomfortable. read more

Rude women. Overbuff and overvile they can't do designs apparently. The lady kept twisting my fingers. Instead of washing where they perform pedicures they just rinse and that's unsanitary. If you use card they take $2 from you. read more

I love it here! For starters, they have their own parking lot in the rear which is a joy because they are so many establishments in the area. First thing I notice when I walk is this simple fact the place is clean. No matter how busy or crowded, this place is always clean. Members of the staff are so attentive and family orientated. Everyone is greeted and treated fairly. I usually go to Anne for my full set acrylics and I am in love. #AnneTakeMyMoney I love everything about the experience. Personally, I like Anne and glowing personality. She's very big on customer service. My heart leaves so content after my appointment because the shape is perfect ; never too thick, there's no polish or thin dried acrylic pieces on my skin and no polish anywhere near my cuticles. Anne is extremely skilled given my hands. Lol. I have quite stubby fingers with limited nail bed space and she makes my coffin nails come together in perfect shape and sizing, could not be anymore pleased! read more

It's sad to say Had moved to another salon ; if you're lookin for her she had relocated to Glam lashes and spa in Quincy. I also forgot to write a review on the nail service. read more

So unfortunately, they don't do tanning- their awning out-front says it as does their website and I traveled there on my only time off to tan and they said they don't provide the service. The man at the desk was very dismissive and shooed me away when I was looking through their book of services at the front to inquire about wanting to get another service done, so that my time wasn't completely wasted, but it seemed as if he didn't have the time to answer me or my mother. But the spa looks clean and busy so maybe i came in at a bad time. read more

They did such a good job on my toes and my sister's nails for vacation and they look so good

Tried Lynn's nails after my manager went here and saw Anne. She did a white gel manicure and after 4 days it was still white. I was impressed! Her nails were also shaped well and clean. So I decided to make an appointment with Anne. They definitely seem more likely to service you quicker with an appointment so I definitely recommend doing so. Anne was friendly and funny. She took her time and I really appreciate that. She even did 3 coats of my gel polish color which was great. At the end of my appointment she asked for my number so it would be easier to make future appointments. She was great. I'll definitely be coming back to Anne! read more

I enjoy coming to this salon. You are greeted when you walk in. The nail techs are gentle with your hands. Many color options. Nice atmosphere. I actually broke a nail playing with my nieces, came back and Phillip fixed it and made sure that the color match was perfect. I look forward to making future appointments here. Parking is limited read more

I came here because my regular lash tech was on vacation and a friend suggested. I had a few left over lashes so she took them off and did a full set. I will say that I was taken last minute and she stayed after close for me which was very considerate and it was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately these lashes just weren't good. They were applied pretty much on my water line so they really irritated my eyes through the first day and night. The inside corner of my left eye shed a lot faster than everything else which looked stupid. The fact that there were so many false lashes attached to a singular natural lash is a red flag and I won't be returning. read more

I dont like their hospitality. They act very stuck up and dont like to say hello. The owner is extremely rude.They are tip hungry and stare at your hands before you can tip them. Also, one of there techs pushed my tip back to me because he felt like I did not give him enough which I felt was very rude. One time I asked one of their techs (Anne) not to do a particular thing and she responded very loudly and made a scene. They also talk behind your back in their language assuming that you dont understand what they are saying. Sometimes they do good work...but they can be very rude. read more

If I can post zero stars I would! I went in to get a nail change as a walk in .they told me that it would be a 10 min wait, even after i mentioned that I will be taking off a dip color. After almost a 10 min wait, they told me it would be an jhou wish because everyone was busy. If that was the case why would you tell yiuy customer and a new one at that a false time frame and make them wait that long before even contacting them! The owner didn't even apologize and made it as my fault for not making an appointment. They were so rude and not taking responsibility for their lack of business sense . With so many salons to compete, this isn't the manner to get business read more

ANN IS AWESOME!! I've been coming here for a year now and she's always available and always done a great job. She did my sisters nails for her quince and it came out so good.

I get my nails done by Vanna and she's really great. she's very professional, takes her time and explains the process to you. I do dip powder with her and they look flawless everytime. she does them very well and they last over 2-3 weeks, looking just as good as the beginning. my nails have grown longer than ever and they grow strong, and she doesn't have to file them down so much since the dip powder is less harsh on the nails. I'll continue going here to see her, she's great at what she does! read more

FIRST OF ALL I AM A CERTIFIED NAIL TECHNICIAN SO I KNOW WHATS GOOD AND WHATS BAD this place? thumbs down. i am on a mission to try out salons to let people know if this place is trust worthy or not. and this salon is not. 30$ for mani& pedi i opped out on the mani after I recieved my 15 min pedi. i had to go back to another salon to have my toes REPAINTED and RESHAPED place was crowded and things looked very unsanitzed. I am also vietnamese although I appear to not look it. so they did talk about me and i quietly smiled acting as if I didnt understand. I believe the manager did my pedi. she left me for a while also to take care of other customers. their dryers were not up to date. I listened to yelpers and they failed me this time! read more

This was my first time at Lynn's I usually go to another nail salon down the street but I wanted to try something different. I was greeted when I entered the salon and asked the service I needed and color. I got a regular pedicure and gel mani. I waited about 5 minutes until I was moved to a chair to start my mani. I had Anne do my nails she was very personable and made sure to ask if everything was how I wanted it to be. She moved quickly (I was in and out) although she seemed to be worried about her appointments that were waiting she did a nice job. The atmosphere of the salon was nice, it seemed clean and maintained. You can tell the nail techs have been working together forever they were talking, cracking jokes and mingling with their regular customers. The only thing I wish was for the edges to be more cleaned up. Otherwise I'm happy about the look. They are very glossy and cute. I payed 45$ which is your average price for nail work. The picture may not do them justice. I will be going back for Anne, and trying other people. read more

Lynn's Nails - Gel mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I was a first and last-time customer in the area and had made an appointment earlier that day. Arrived on time. Gentleman greeted me and started process to remove gel in preparation for French gel, then directed me to my technician, Vanna. If you want to be treated RUDELY, IGNORED, TALKED OVER AND FLAGRANTLY DISRESPECTED, Vanna is the one for you. She took phone calls, checked phone, conversed extremely loud with other technicians the majority of the time spent working on my nails. When I asked her to please redo one of my nails, she became very impatient and exasperated with me and complained that I needed to hold my hand still with the dip. She redid the nail very hurriedly and roughly and was clearly annoyed with me. I would have walked out then but nails were not complete. Silence followed for the next 20 minutes. When nails were done she tried being nice and telling me how nice they looked. What a pathetic human being, trying to be nice for her tip. I gave her $10, walked to the counter to pay and very nicely told the gentleman that I would not be returning ever again. Life is too short, go someplace where you are welcomed and appreciated. read more

Lynn's Nails just opened its business within the past two weeks, but I am already a big fan and have switched my normal nail salon to this one. Amazing service for a ridiculous price. SUPPLIES: I was very impressed with how the place was furnished. Everything looked sharp. The nail desks were well lit, with big comfy chairs and arm pads on marble surfaces. Well lit, clean, and smells good. They carry a great variety of OPI polishes in beautiful colors, both unique and traditional. I love variety, my biggest peeve is seeing 230 shades of pink and not a single blue or purple polish. The dryers are up-to-date! I noticed they do have mini-fans, but I had my nails dried under a UV-desk and they were dry in half the normal time. No more accidental creases! SERVICE: This was the first manicure I had where I wasn't nervously glancing at what was being done to my nails. Mya repaired my cracking, painful nail and covered it up to look like new. She was careful, unrushed, and detailed. The best part? The 10-minute arm-shoulder-neck rub. She got knots out in places I didn't know knots could be. It was completely unexpected, I usually get a quick palm rub, but no complaints here! Soooo good after a day of work! PEOPLE: The first salon where people asked what my name was. A third person rushed out to hold the door for me and ask my name as well. I like that. A lot. There was no shyness here due to language barriers or anything else. It all feels genuine. Mya was kind, conversational, and had a wonderful sense of humor. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Exactly how you should feel after any beauty treatment! Ask for her and say that Annette sent you, you won't be disappointed! I don't know whether I got special treatment because they're new and trying to build clientele, but I hope they keep it up! It's wonderful. Manicures: $10 French Manicures: $15 Pedicures: $20 I didn't catch the rest. read more

Lynn's Nails is a model as to how all nail salons should be for the following reasons: 1) There price list is actually printed on the back of the business cards, unlike most places which use a slide board to display their prices. Ever notice how a lot of the numbers seem to be missing from the slide boards? If the intention was for them to be permanent prices, the plastic numbers wouldn't slide off on a whim, would they? 2) They're clean - you always see someone cleaning a station or washing out the foot soaking bins. 3) The work is consistent. I have never left unsatisfied when I have a french manicure or pink and white gel. You get what you pay for. 4) You can walk-in without being treated like you're an afterthought. They will help you as soon as they can or give you a realistic wait time. 5) Tips are accepted on credit cards, which is a rarity in nail salons. 6) The employees are friendly and they take their time with you. See the difference...go to Lynn's and get a manicure the RIGHT way. read more

If you live in this area or happen to be in Dorchester and looking for a pedi/mani this is an OK place to check out. Service is great, prices are way reasonable and the technicians are very friendly. I personally wouldn't call it a hidden gem that I'd travel all the way to DOT for, but it you are around the area it's definitely a good location to choose. I'm neither blow away or turned off. read more

I would definitely recommend this place for eyelashes! They have very good prices , 60$ for full set and 30$ for refill! They last very very long, about 3 weeks. I am a very big fan of eyelash extensions and I went through so many salons. I was surprised the way they put them, it is very fast and I have no problems with glue. In some salons they use bad quality glue, so it is burning your eyes. Personally I had better luck with Sassy. When she puts eyelashes on me they always look great and stay long. So if you are eyelash extension addict like me - this place is for you! read more

Had been a customer for years, but no more after a pretty disappointing experience waiting over an hour today to start a gel pedicure. Zero communication about or acknowledgement of the exceptional wait. If you're slammed or short handed, inform the customer when they arrive, or when the wait starts to get long, not after they have already been sitting there over an hour and are walking out. What was more frustrating, is that they went ahead and took my kids first and therefore finished them completely before even making eye contact with me about starting. I was only paying for my kids so that they would not be bored while I got my pedicure. Now I still don't have a pedicure, I blew $30 keeping them busy while i waited, and not going to have a chance to get a pedicure now because they'll have nothing to do. We used to LOVE this place, have been several dozen times. Too busy I understand, but this was just plain rude. read more

I have NEVER had a manicure so bad that I had to go home and re-do myself, the very same day. The technician did a horrible job shaping my nails. Even after using a brush dipped in remover to clean up her mistakes, I still had nail polish spilling over my cuticles. Absolutely the worse manicure I have ever had in my life. During the manicure, I hit my hand while moving for the second coat. The polish chipped on three of my nails. Any technician worth their salt would have re-done at least the worst of the three, but this woman just splashed another coat on top of the smudges. My pointer finger ended up looking like it had a big dent in the middle. The pedicure was ok...She only did one coat because she was distracted by the most adorable little boy, a son of a customer. No significant attention to my heels and instead of a massage, she did this weird slapping thing. Never, ever, EVER again. read more

This is the worse nail salon in Boston. I've never met such "rude" nail techs. The owner is extremely rude too, she never says hello back. They are "BULLIES", and yell at their customers. They will treat you extra rude if you dont tip them at least $10. If you are not satisfied with their work, they will blame the customer instead of just fixing the problem. They talk bad about their customers (out loud) while their customers are are sitting right in front of them. Both nail techs (Amy and Ann) are so nasty and disrespectful. Ann did not do powder nails and told me not to come back to her ever again even though I had an appointment with her at that time. Anne was screaming out loud at customers on the phone. They have 'ZERO" respect for their customers. I will never EVER go to LYNN NAILS ever again!!! They are just MEAN!!! read more

This is my "go to" place. I like to schedule my appointment on Sunday mornings right when the shop opens and it's not busy. Easy to get to, minutes from home. Didn't realize it had already started drizzling when I was leaving the house. Buses weren't running yet and walking would make me late to my scheduled appointment. Spent at least 10 minutes trying to negotiate a "parking spot" inside the salon to place my bike for the 45-minute pedicure. What's sad is that there was more than enough space; there was only one other customer in the salon. Disappointed that I had to leave and that the employee lost income because she and her colleagues COULDN'T, i.e. they said they weren't allowed to, accommodate my request. Lynn and Sonny, I'd love to see how other riders and I can help you and other business owners in Lower Mills can get some bike racks! read more

My new job doesn't allow artificial nails, and of course I've had gel on my nails for a year now, so I needed to get that off at the last minute without paying an arm and a leg. I also wanted to get a shellac manicure after since I knew my nails would be weak. I called ahead and asked if they took walk-ins (yes) and if I could come by in 20 minutes (yes). When I got there, I explained what I needed done. The woman who greeted me originally told me that the shellac wouldn't stick to the soft nails (apparently people in the past have had a lot of problems with it) but then after talking to someone, found out that there was a binder/primer (this was how it was explained to me) that they could use. I sat soaking my nails in acetone for 40 minutes, which was unpleasant but made the removal of the gel painless (I was afraid they'd rip them off like when they're putting on a new set). The woman who did my manicure kept disappearing while the shellac was curing under the UV light, which was really my only complaint. My nails came out great and have been lasting for over a week now (I have a hand-intensive job in a lab so this is impressive). Best part was this only cost me $25. I will definitely go back. One warning: parking was a nightmare. I'm from the area, so I should have anticipated this, but I still drove around for 15 minutes trying to find street parking. read more
