My first time going to Metro Nails was fantastic. I read the reviews and it seems like they're always busy, so I called and managed to get a dip manicure same day. Kim did an amazing job, extremely thorough. 100% recommend! read more

Another amazing experience at Metro Nails. Today I had the pleasure of Lin doing my nails. She was so efficient and focused on doing the best job ever. My nails came out absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much, Lin and Metro Nails. I am so happy! read more

Favorite nail salon in Rhode Island. We moved out of providence and I still trek to Metro for my nails! Love the whole team

I've been coming to Metro Nails for a few years. They're clean and very professional. I normally see a different tech every time I go. They all do a great job which is why I've been coming here for so long. The past few weeks, however, I've discovered a hidden gem of a tech who is not only great at what she does, but is a pleasure to talk to. Jennifer has been my tech this summer and I honestly won't trade her for anything! She's sweet and attentive and full of patience with my already complicated self. Im extremely indecisive and I tend to stick to what I know. Well, this summer, she's certainly broadened my horizons with my choice of colors, and today, I left with a beautiful, neutral pink, dip manicure. I had never done dip before but she suggested it after having removed acrylics myself and having some pretty bad ridges on my nails. Im so happy with the outcome and my newly discovered love for the dip powder. I hope Metro Nails is aware of how amazing Jennifer is and how lucky they are to have her. As long as she's there, I'm a happy customer. Thank you, Jennifer, for breaking my out my "nail shell" and opening up a whole new world of colors and experiences! Thursdays with her are my new favorite girl therapy sessions! Haha read more

Two days after receiving a shellac, thumbnail started to peel; rushed through nail session. Returned the next day for them to fix. The lady who fixed my nail said it was because my nails were too short. I keep my nails the same length all the time and told her when I went there in September, my shellac lasted for almost a month. Sadly, not even two days later, shellac began to chip on multiple nails. A week and and my nails look like the picture read more

I don't come here for my acrylic nails anymore, but it's definitely my favorite place on College Hill. The prices are decent but not amazing. I don't know her name (sorry!) but the older manager-like lady nail tech has always done impeccable nails for me. She takes an extremely long time, but it's because she spends so much time paying attention to detail and making sure the nails are perfect, so it's a trade off. Jennifer is also great because she can do any design you want, she's quick, and very creative and fun to talk to. I come here now only for pedicures as they last the longest and leave my feet feeling the softest out of all of the places on College Hill. read more

Such great service, they take so much care with my nails! I got start designs done in gel and them spent time practice the designs and worked with me to make sure I was happy and I really appreciated the attention to detail. Nails have lasted so long too! For sure going back for a fill or new set! read more

Great nail place! I was in the area and decided to come here. I showed the lady (who I think was the owner) a reference photo of what I wanted, and she absolutely killed it. I paid $65, which was extremely reasonable. She took her time as well and did not rush my manicure even though she had a lot of customers that day. Would love to come back in the future, and I definitely recommend this place. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting this sweet spot. I got an acrylic full set w/ gel polish ($41) and a pedicure w/ regular polish ($25). It was done by the amazing Jennifer. Although, I didn't have an appointment I was seen rather quickly. I recommend making an appointment, it's just easier. The shop is small but cozy. I had a wonderful conversation with Jennifer, she was so great to talk to I didn't even realize it only took a little under an hour to do my nails. She also did my pedicure which came out great. I definitely will be returning to Jennifer soon! read more

Very nice people there. Clean and quiet. I was a walk in client. My nails came out very nice. The owner takes her time and asks if there's anything you don't like that she can fix it. I don't normally have my nails done so I am happy to have stumbled upon this place read more

Went for a luxe pedicure but it wasn't better than regular pedicure at other local nail places.

Came here on a whim last week per the suggestion of my friend (and fellow Yelper) who came in a week before to get acrylics for the holidays. This was my third visit here and I was looking for New Year's inspired look. I've enjoyed the service here at Metro Nails in past visits (previously a Brown U student) so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. They offer chrome nails--I chose a beautiful rose gold chrome look with acrylics. Rainy (although I'm not sure if that is the correct way to spell her name) was my technician and did a fabulous job on my nails! She was very detail-oriented, making sure all my nails were even and consistent. She continuously checked in with me about the length and made sure to do a great job! Only a small thing, as a previous Yelper mentioned, was that my cuticles were not pushed back so it makes my nails look ever so slightly grown out--however, I'll be sure to point that out next time. I've gotten so many compliments on my nails since getting them done last week! Highly recommend! Ask for Rainy! She'll be sure to do an amazing job. read more

Let me put it this way: there are three nail salons within walking distance of my home, and instead I choose to drive the ten minutes to go to Metro Nails. I search for parking on Wickenden, which alone can attest to the excellence of their manis and pedis. Simply put, they're that good. I'll admit, my first experience at Metro wasn't great. It wasn't particularly bad, but I can't say I thrilled with the end result. Also, it was before they moved into this bright, clean, fresh and spacious new salon, which is as warm and welcoming as someone's home. They do a thorough job and my nails look absolutely perfect. They also happen to be extremely friendly, sweet and professional which, coupled with their efficiency makes it even more of a pleasure. All of this and a mani & pedi for $30? You bet I'm sold. read more

The gentleman with whom I made my appointment by phone was very polite. The ladies who work there sometimes speak loudly to each other, which can be a bit annoying. This place is just fine. Certainly, a renovation or a cleaning would help so that a restful atmosphere could be created. Also, this particular place does not accept card payments, only cash. They never give customers receipts. 3/10 read more

I've found my new nail spot in Providence and I couldn't be happier! The women that work at Metro Nails are all very friendly and do an amazing job. It is THE spot to get a manicure or pedicure. If you're a student, they even offer a student discount. Even if you're not a student and you feel like being pampered, but don't want to break the bank, look no further. Everything they use is clean and they seem to actually care if you have a good experience. A regular full shellac manicure with no discount is $30. I haven't had to make an appointment because I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes. I'll surely be back every few weeks to update my manicure! read more

Best deal around: $30 for a mani AND pedi plus $2 discount with student ID. The ladies are always friendly, though I wish they had more polish colors to choose from. Don't go if you're in a rush. Getting the mani/pedi combo usually takes me 2 hours, but I enjoy taking that time out. When it's busy, it's kind of place where the customers are friendly and chat with each other. read more

Fantastic, I honestly have nothing bad to say about this place. The staff, the environment, color selection, service selection, and how clean the amenities were???? Everything was perfect. Including my shiny new gel manicure... I can't help but admire my nails every 5 seconds. LOVE. read more

New to Rhode Island so I depend on my yelp for good reviews on things especially nails! First time coming to metro nails and I was impressed. Came in right when they opened, and got seated immediately, color chosen and all!! And a clean area! Jennifer my tech did such a good job! And fast! 35 mins! But then again I came in right when they opened so maybe on a busy day be a hour or so, which is a still not bad! All in all, everything went so good! Will definitely be coming back and recommend for sure! read more

RACIAL PROFILING - (Woman of color) Today I went to Metro Nails for the first time with my fiancé. We both got Manicures and Pedicures. In the middle of service the woman who was doing my hands asked me to pay before she finished... I was a bit taken aback by this. I literally responded "Is this normal?", which she didn't respond to. It was so abrupt. My fiancé, who is white, was the one who planned to pay so I had to interrupt their session. Literally 5 minutes later a white woman finished her session and went up to pay. She quickly realized that she had forgotten her wallet in her car and asked if she could run to get it. The clerk immediately responded to her "No problem, I trust you". My fiancé and I looked at each other thinking the same thing. It was comical but not funny at all what so ever. I then realized that when we first came in there was a white male who paid after his session as well. Its terrible how people are. You'd think people would be more careful with their thoughts and views when they own a business. I will not be returning because of their treatment and also the work done was mediocre. What a shame. read more

I have a usual spot that I go to but my friend wanted to go here because she has had a good experience with them. We were seen right away, I got a mani/pedi and I can't say I'm happy with the results. First, when she was cutting my cuticle, she ended up cutting me and I started to bleed. Yes, she was apologetic and didn't continue to cut the rest. I didn't like that she said she cut me because my cuticle was to thin. I have been getting my nails done for years and no one else has ever had an issue with my cuticles. To make things worse, they're website says once price but she charged me differently. Whatever lady I just want to leave. Insult to injury, the polish is already bubbled on my thumb nail and my forefinger nail chipped last night (I got my nails done that afternoon). Are you kidding me?! I don't have time to go back to get it fixed and honestly I shouldn't have to. It should've been done right the first time. Needless to say, I won't be back here ever again. I'll stick with my usual spot. read more

High quality services for very reasonable prices. They are fast too, I had a spa pedicure and gel manicure done in a little less than one hour. Other places I've been take nearly two hours for the same services. I'm always happy with my nails after coming here. Location is good too, plenty of street parking nearby and it's close to downtown. read more

A couple of friends and I have been trying different local nail salons for months now. Each time at least one of us was unhappy with the result. Metro nails is the first place we have all been happy every time we have come! These ladies are very nice, hardworking, and can do almost any nail design you want!! They take time on each nail and make sure you are completely satisfied before you leave! They are very busy, so make sure to make an appointment, especially if there is more than one of you going! read more

I cannot stop singing the praises of this spot. Every time I go, the nail technicians are so careful and do an amazing job. I can tell that they really take pride in their work. They're talented at designs and always have the newest machines for gel and shellac. I think that getting an appointment is always a good idea, but I've never had trouble walking in, with the exception of prom season. They always seem to find a way to fit people in. You might not be able to sit next to your best friend for a manicure or pedicure, but it's so relaxing that you'll forget all that "important talk" you needed to have in the first place. I highly recommend getting gel or shellac here over traditional manicures. It costs twice as much but lasts at least twice as long and you won't have to go in as often. Plus, gel and shellac are completely dry when your manicure is over, so there's no pesky wait time under a fan at the end. Keep up the good work, ladies! read more

Allow me to gush about this place a little. Based on the great reviews, my girl friend and I decided to give this place a try. We both went for the Spa Mani/Pedi for $30. Good deal. No regrets at all. The ladies here did a fantastic job. From start to finish it took almost two hours, but they were really meticulous. We weren't pressed for time and it was a wholly relaxing experience. Our nail techs, Thyda and Sokeng, were very courteous. Sokeng even offered to paint a little flower design on two of my fingers (no extra charge.) Very cute, nice touch. (Pictures posted!) Metro Nails is located on the corner of Hope and Wickenden Streets. If you aren't familiar with Providence, this is a charming historical neighborhood dotted with great restaurants and a few eclectic shops. Sakura (Japanese/sushi), as well as The Duck and Bunny (a self proclaimed "snuggery" / cupcake cafe) are walking distance away. Street parking is free and easy. If you are shopping around for a nail salon, make sure you try this one! read more

Wow!! Like all good Yelpers, when you need to know something, you check Yelp first, and I needed to know where an out-of-towner gets a pedicure in Providence. The verdict was obviously Metro Nails, and the mention in one of the reviews that I could book online clinched the deal for me. I Googled for the site, got to see what each pedicure included, how long it lasted, how much, etc and then booked it. An e-mail confirmation came right away, as well as a reminder the night before. IMMACULATE salon, lots of colors to choose from (although I brought my own) and everyone was soooooo nice. The girl who made me feet look spring-ready is named Ros (I think) and did an amazing job on the cuticles too. For $25, my feet are ready for this amazing March weather... bring on the flip-flops! read more

Metro is my go to nail place and I have always been happy with their services. Currently you need an appointment to get in but they are very flexible. I love the gel manicure, it lasts a lot longer and they do a really good job. It has been significantly quieter due to Covid but I prefer that because they used to get VERY BUSY and it would be packed in there. The staff is very friendly and the salon is clean. read more

Really friendly stuff! had to wait 30 minutes for my appointment, but I called for it last minute on sunday, can't be mad. good choice of colors. had my gel nails with gel polish done in an hour. full set was only $43 ($70-$90 in newport). I think they did a great job, nails looking good. will be back for sure. I returned back for gel fill in a couple of weeks, beautiful nails again, Jenny was really nice and paid attention to details. I'm so happy I found them, bringing a friend next time. read more

I had passed Metro at least 100 times while on other east side adventures, but figured like most things on that side of the city that they would be over-priced. But when a friend recommended them I had to check them out. Called an hour before on a Sunday to check their hours and was given an appointment right away. Turns out they were pretty busy even for a Sunday afternoon. The staff was friendly and my tech was able to keep my nails the shape I wanted. (some places give me a hard time because I wear my nails in a stiletto shape) Sina was awesome!! I was able to get an Express Pedi and a fill with art for what I was paying just for a fill. I will definitely be returning!! read more

The experience I had here was beyond great. I was skeptical when I saw the amount of people in the shop (so crowded), but I was seen right at 6:15, which was when I made my appointment for. Everyone was friendly and I was greeted when I walked in. I got a pedicure and a gel manicure. The woman who did my nails was so attentive and kind. She took her time and fixed any mistake she made. There was no rushing at all. She made sure my nails looked the best. The gel manicure is by far the best I have ever gotten. I had read online that they close at 7:00, so I assumed I would be rushed out of the shop as soon as it hit 7, but instead the woman doing my nails took her time, made sure I was comfortable and did an absolutely perfect job on my nails. My toes and fingers look awesome and I will not go anywhere else to get my nails done now! I do recommend making an appointment because it is busy. read more
