    I came here for gel extension, and asked for a medium sized oval nail with evenly sized polkadots, and received nails that were unfortunately extremely short, and the polkadots were very wonky and irregular and the shape was stiletto. didn't even cut my cuticles. I was very clear with what I wanted and got nothing close to it.

    This is the best business in all of Rhode Island. The nail techs are superior. They're all highly skilled, incredibly kind, and extraordinarily patient. The past two times I've had Ching do my nails, and she did the most beautiful ombré on them. This is my home away from home, the most peaceful place in the state, the best place for nails period.

    I just went to Metro Nails yesterday and was so impressed by the care and effort that they took to paint my nails. I got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. They also took off my existing gel and the total was $70 includong tip. My nail tech Sovattey is a slay!

    I've been to multiple nail salons in the area since moving to Rhode Island, and metro nails is now my favorite. The vibe is very no frills, which I appreciate. They offer a wide variety of services, and I was able to get a same day appointment. My nail tech, Rohr, gave me exactly what I asked for. She was able to fix a bad set I got at a different salon, shaving them down where they were too thick and uneven, and reshaping them to give me the shape I wanted. I will definitely be coming back.

    Service was great I was a walk in and they took me very quickly. The lady who was giving me my pedi/manicure was very kind but I did notice the tools she used on my toes weren't very sanitary. It wasn't even in the alcohol. I should've known because now my toe infected and leaking pus. My first and my last time coming here.

    Gel manicure

    Metro Nails is my go-to nail spot in Providence. I've been living here for about a year and tried other salons -- they just don't compare. The gel manicures I've gotten here last more than two weeks with the same glossiness and without any chips. Regardless of the manicurist, I've always been happy with the results. I'm kind of addicted to this place; I used to do my own manicures at home but now it's just too tempting to just go to Metro. :) I usually stop by in the early afternoon on weekdays (without making an appointment beforehand) and have been immediately seated (no wait). The staff is really great at removing gel manicures without tearing of layers of my real nails, as has happened to me at other places. They are really quick. A gel manicure usually takes less than an hour. Service is great. Some manicurists are more talkative than others, but they're all really friendly! A gel manicure is $23 with my $2 student discount -- very affordable! They only accept cash tips, but even if you don't have cash on-hand you can withdraw some from their ATM. I highly recommend this place to others, especially for a gel manicure. It's worth it!

    Very nice staff, accommodating, and skillful. I'm not someone who is an expert at nails or gets them done regularly. But I like getting something simple done every now and then. I've been here a couple times for a gel manicure on my natural nails. Mind you, my natural nails are pretty thin, break easily and not much to work with, but they manage to make them look beautiful. They listen and are willing to work with your preferences too. Highly recommend.

    Metro is by far one of my favorite salons. They are very friendly and did my nails exactly like my pinterest photo, lol. Highly recommend.

    This is my 5th time here and Metro Nails always do a wonderful job with the manicures. I got my nails done today for graduation next week and they came out great! Their prices are so affordable (and offers a student discount).

    Walked in on a Monday afternoon and only had a 20ish min wait without an appointment. Had a great mani and pedi combo (just regular polish). Both technicians were amazing, thorough and friendly service! They accept credit cards and have scannable QR codes to accept virtual tip payments on Cashapp and Venmo. I will definitely be coming back :)

    Much needed mani/pedi before baby arrives
    Jackie O.

    I needed some me-time before my baby arrives...and also I cannot reach my toes. This place was a lifesaver and made my feet feel glorious after the spa pedicure. My gel manicure was very thorough and came out awesome. The workers are kind and they listen to what you want. The woman who did my nails asked multiple times if I liked the color/shape before proceeding. I loved that! There seems to be lots of regulars that come here and for good reason. The place is very busy. I'd recommend making an appointment to avoid having to wait for a walk-in. The only negative is that I really wished they showed/explained to you how to use the massage chairs because it would've been nice to actually enjoy the chair. The whole time I was just trying to figure out how to recline the chair without it giving me a very hard and uncomfortable punching massage. Perhaps a quick little explanation would be helpful. I had asked how to recline and she did it for me with the controller but the chair wouldn't stay for me if I wanted the massager on at the same time. Perhaps it's just me though, or the particular chair I was in. Be sure to bring cash for a tip because they can't do tips off a card. I've yet to find a nail salon in the area that is clean, affordable, and does a good job. This met all criteria (cleanliness is VERY important and they take it seriously for sure). Can't wait to come back!

    I had a MUCH better experience here than I did the last time. Was in and out within an hour. Right away, the staff advised me to pick a color. Then, Lyna came over (she did my nails) and said she could start soaking my gels off while I picked a new color. I showed her a picture of the nails I wanted and she was able to find two colors she thought would work with my skin tone. She also let me know the price would be $5 more with the ombré, which I didn't mind, but it's still nice to know ahead of time. She tested out both base colors (shades of red) that she chose on me and let me pick myself. She then chose two glitter polishes and tested them over the base color, allowing me to pick one of them or both. Before doing each part herself, she checked with me to see if I liked it or wanted to change anything, which hardly happens to me if I go to get my nails done! She was extremely patient and precise with my nails and I really appreciated all of the effort she put in. Also, she did an amazing job with my Lyna deserves to be recognized!

    Ask the Community - Metro Nails

    Can I get 2 pedicures at the same time tomorrow Saturday 7/1?

    Do they accept cash?

    Yes, cash definitely seems to be preferred. They have an ATM inside for your convenience as well, especially since tips are only accepted in the form of cash. Best part is the ATM only changes a $0.50 fee.

    Are walk-ins welcomed?

    Yes but it can be very busy there so an appointment is usually easier.

    Hi there. New to the area and looking for a salon near work. Do they do dip mani's?

    Yes, we do Dip Manicure

    So they offer wine with top end mani/pedi?

    Don't believe so! Might want to try vip nails in north providence, they do!

They always greet you with a smile, make great conversation, and genuinely care about their clients. You never feel rushed and they always make you feel comfortable and welcome.

Pedicures are still great, but during my last visit for nails, my tech put two of my tips on crooked which happens, but they can be reshaped before the clear polish goes on. He didn't bother and I didn't notice until it was too late. I broke two nails in the first week, which doesn't happen to me, unless it's time for another appointment. When I stopped by to have them fixed, the receptionist said my tech was busy and she wasn't sure if the other (available) tech would fix them for me... What? She ultimately fixed them, but she did the bare minimum to remove the old tip extension and glued a new one on top resulting in chunky, uneven nails that clearly stood out from the rest. She was very nice though and didn't charge me anything. I still tipped her $10, even though she told me not to worry about it. The receptionists have treated me like I'm an inconvenience every time I've gone in, but I kept trying because the place is so clean and so beautiful and maybe I just needed to find my new regular. I'm always polite, respectful and patient and have consistently tipped $20 on a $53 service regardless of quality. Oh, beware of hidden costs. Dip with tip extensions is $53, but I blindly paid $58 and learned this later when checking my bank account. I received no extra polish or other service, not even a hand massage or cuticle oil. I now doubt it was a mistake. Today was the final straw. I had booked an appointment online for 10:15 this morning. I was trying a different tech who was finishing another customer. I had never met her so I didn't know what she looked like, but she ended up being the person who had just finished, got up, walked away, came back out at 10:45 with her car keys and sunglasses and was about to leave when the receptionist remembered me and told her, "Oh, you have an appointment waiting," and pointed at me. Tech came over and said "Oh, what are you here for?" "Dip with tips." She answered "Ohhh, I don't do Dip. I'm allergic to Dip." When you book an online appointment, you have to select your service. I selected Dip. They should have known this would be an issue when I checked in. I had been waiting for 30 minutes for absolutely nothing, because they just stared at me and offered no solution. I stood up and started to leave when one of them uttered something. I said, "I'm good. Thank you," and left. I gave this place the benefit of the doubt multiple times. Lesson learned.

My eyebrows haven't looked this good in years! Everyone else in the salon was so friendly and welcoming as well. It really was a comfortable place. I had gotten my dip powder for awhile from another place, but it's a bit unaffordable now. The other place I was going got to be a bit uncomfortable as well with certain things happening every time I went in. So I found Aidiles while searching for somewhere new, and I'm really happy I did. She took my dip powder off and I could see my nails again! I've had it taken off before, and they had left my nail with a bunch of it still on just without the color, so it was nice to go somewhere where they care enough to actually take the dip powder off correctly. I told her the color I wanted and she quickly showed me the pink, which had a great name that is escaping me. It was just the color I was looking for. She waxed my eyebrows and my underarms. I've always had pain after getting my underarms waxed for at least up to 24 hours after I get it done. I had none after the initial ripping pain lol.

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.
