I am shocked by the negative reviews. While I only get standard manicures (regular polish, gel, dip…read morepowder) and pedicures, I am very picky about my nails and this is the only place where I leave completely satisfied. I don't get designs or special services, but my nails come out exactly the way I want them to and the service lasts for weeks. They have tons of colors, are extremely friendly, and do a fantastic job every time. There are plenty of techs and people to translate if there's a language barrier and you have a specific request, but if you come often enough and get the same tech, they have great memory and often remember your preferences. Making an appointment is definitely recommended, especially in the summer. I've also gotten waxing here and have also been happy with this. I've gotten my eyebrows, upper lip, and underarms done and the waxing is always done with care. Not all techs are trained to do this though, so if you don't make an appointment in advance, you might have to wait a little bit for a tech to become available. The salon itself is very clean; I've seen them thoroughly sweep their floors at night and disinfect their tools and footbaths in between customers. I've been coming here for almost 10 years and I live on the north shore now, so it's not as easy to get to, but I've yet to find another nail salon that's comparable to this one. Many get close and I'm happy enough with the service but never as satisfied as when I come to this specific salon.

Back story: Lida and Navy have been running the nail shop here for years. I started going to them…read moreback in 2017, I have no idea why I never made a review for them before but better late than never! I've seen these hard working girls go through the effects of the pandemic while raising two beautiful children and running a nail shop at the same time. Up until 2017, I "nail-shop-hopped" around the south shore area - never finding a place i liked enough to come back to. Then I found sydney nails. I will never go to another nail shop until they shut down (which i hope never happens because i will be devastated.) Honestly, the service and quality here is unbeatable. The girls are genuine, friendly, and love their jobs (and take pride in it.) The shop is clean and promotes a relaxing environment. I see these reviews on the internet about their store not providing good service. I don't understand why some people are so nasty. If you go and get your nails done here and don't like it, don't leave the store. They can't control what happens when you leave the store. But if you don't like your nails or need it fixed before walking out, tell them. They 100% of the time will make it right if it is an instant fix. If you walk out of the store angry or upset and don't like what you were given, that's on you. Also, you chose the color - not them. Lida and Navy try their best to make it right so please be kind. Tips: 1) always call ahead so the girls can pencil you into their schedule. Walk ins are available but there is usually some kind of wait. 2) show up to your appointment 10-15 min early to pick your colors 3) they take cash and card but the card machine has a transaction fee on your card. They also take venmo.

I made the mistake on agreeing with her. I should've left. She does rush the process and is aggressive with the filing. There was so much glue coming from the bottom of the nail. I ask if this is normal and she mention yes. I never seen anything like this before. At the end, I went back home and end up filing my own nail so it looks and feels right. Don't recommend this place. If you go, ask for Jessica so you know who to stay away from.
