    Bleeding cuticle from last appointment. Hurts to walk.

    I wanted to love MiniLuxe and tried the Prudential, Newbury, Seaport and Lexington locations. My last appointment left my toe bleeding from rushed cuticle care and my pedicure smudged because I was moved out of the chair right after polish before my nails could dry. Pros - convenient to book, lots of locations, Lexington location was positive experience for a gel manicure. Massage at prudential was good. Cons - technicians are way too rushed at this location - I'm sure this would be better if it wasn't clearly overbooked. Performance polish chipped less than 5 days after multiple appointments at each location (and I was careful). Appointments started and ended late in Newbury. My nails are brittle and weak after doing biweekly performance polish appointments. On the hunt for a new go-to nail tech in Boston. I can't recommend any of the MiniLuxe locations unfortunately.

    I recently stopped by MiniLuxe at the Pru for a pedicure and lip & brow wax. I've been a regular at 2 other MiniLuxe locations but this was my 1st time at the Pru location. I wasn't expecting the store to have huge glass windows facing into the Pru in the part where nails are worked on. I was given a towel to cover my legs while getting a pedicure but I still felt a bit more on display than I do at other MiniLuxe locations. I loved my pedicure and the MiniLuxe "Pahk the cah" purple nail polish that was used. I would not recommend booking back to back appointments like I did. I had to wait 15 minutes after my lip & brow wax scheduled appointment time to actually be taken. I was sitting at the front of the store, but no one told the waxing associate. (And I suspect she took another customer at my time because she didn't know I was there.) This gave me time to use their free wifi to read yelp reviews of this location and get very scared by one of the waxing pictures. The eyebrow wax was great! Unfortunately, I also had bumps near my lip when I woke up the day after getting the service. It isn't as bad as the photo in a different review, but I won't be trying lip waxing here again. I do recommend manicures & pedicures at MiniLuxe though! They're pricey but worth it.

    If I could I would give them -star I would. I had a pedicure a day ago notice my cuticles were not properly trimmed. I went back in just to get butchered. Literally the excuse from the technician gave that she couldn't fix the cuticles that they didn't trim properly was because she didn't have enough time allotted. Go at your risk for a subpar product and experience.

    This is my manicure at the 6-day mark. I ended up removing finally only because I felt like changing it up!

    Beautifully done signature mani! I had a walk in at the Prudential Center location and despite being pretty close to closing they were able to squeeze me in. My manicurist was very professional and so detail oriented. I love that this location always caps the nail tips and how meticulous they are with cleanup. MiniLuxe standard polish colors are in my experience better than their performance colors, and my mani lasted a full week without much visible signs of wear. The staff were very friendly as well. My only wish with regards to their core range is tht I wish they'd come out with a wider range of colors.

    Got them done at 8pm, woke up next day 6am (10 hrs later) and noticed part of it chipped on pinky nail.

    Overall OK experience, but wasn't amazing. I loved that I was seen right on time, which I really appreciate. For those of you who have a very busy and tight schedule, appt time takes longer than they say. I went for the performance polish manicure, which was scheduled for 35 mins but I was there for 65 mins. Was fine with me when I went bc I wasn't in a rush. It's very brightly lit and clean inside the salon, so it's very pretty and inviting. They have a very small selection of colors, which is disappointing. They didn't have a light pink shade that I was looking for, which seemed like a very basic color. I asked the lady how long my polish should last for since I paid more for performance polish, and she told me 5 days. I had gotten this mani in preparation for my engagement photos, which I was gonna take 36 hours later. HOWEVER, part of the nail polish on my pinky nail chipped off in less than 12 hours!!!!! I literally got my nails done in the evening, went home, showered, slept and when I woke up, part of it chipped. I haven't gotten a manicure in a while but that's never happened within such a short time period before so I'm pretty sure that's not normal. Also, there are tiny microbubbles in every nail, which I've never had happen either. Sometimes I get a few here and there, but not this extensive. Lastly, when I checked out, the front desk person asked me if I wanted to leave a tip and how much. It's very awkward and unclassy to be asked that. They should just print out a receipt and have customers fill out the tip as they wish. I got very uncomfortable about that. I won't be coming back here.

    Manicure with Teresa is great!

Unfortunately, my experience at checkout left a very different impression. I was initially charged $53 for two replacement nail tips, which seemed extraordinarily high. When I questioned the charge, it was reduced to $43, but I still found that excessive for such a minor service. This was my first visit, and while I appreciated Vina's work, the pricing for the nail repairs felt unreasonable and left me feeling taken advantage of. I would strongly recommend confirming the cost of any add-on services before they are performed. For what I paid for two replacement tips, I could have gone to my regular salon and received a full manicure. Great technician, but disappointing and unexpected pricing. Buyer beware.

    I recently saw Luis for a Brazilian (Manzilion? Nah, Brazilian is gender inclusive enough I think)…read more I generally think of a Brazilian as removing all the hair in the area, but in this case I wanted to keep some hair above for a somewhat more natural, masculine look. In any case, this is the only the second time I've had waxing done and I absolutely wanted Luis to do the work, and I'll explain why: First of all Luis was thorough and professional in explaining the options and procedure in advance, and made sure I was completely informed and comfortable with the process. Second, the environment he works in is great. High ceilings, lots of natural light, homey and comfortable. Also I like that he is a sole practitioner so it's completely private. This was especially important to me the first time I went to him since it's such an intimate procedure. He immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Third, he did a great job! Thorough and artful. Exactly what I was hoping for. If this is your first time getting waxed you should know, yes, it looks great, but even better is the results feel amazing - so superior to shaving. Super smooth and more sensitive. Even when the hair grows back no stubble, which I find very uncomfortable. Anyway, if you're thinking about it do it, and have Luis do the job. The experience and results are amazing.

I had been to a location in Washington DC several years ago, and haven't heard from them since, so this must have been fate! I have had so many bad waxes in the last two years, but decided to take one more chance and booked online with Jenelle (based on a couple of reviews on Yelp). My appt was at 9:15 on a Saturday morning, so there was no wait at all and the salon was quiet. Jenelle is really nice and did an AMAZING job - not one single stray hair for me to tweeze (which is not a problem for me, but I have left a few visits elsewhere practically needing to go somewhere the next day... no exaggeration) and no wax residue on me either. If you have ever had wax stuck to you the next day that just will not come off, you know how exciting this was for me! Payment was quick and easy, they allow a tip to be left on your credit card, but I like to give cash. Thanks Jenelle, and see you next time!

Instead of using a single swift pull, this technician (Sheila) used a series of small pulls, which I believe led to the sores. But I'm not sure about that. What I can say is that I'm in my mid-50s, have been waxing for decades, and have never been left with sores/scabs. So this issue is distinct to this visit to EWC in Brookline, MA (and I've been to several others in the area). Additionally troubling is that I wrote a note to EWC stating the above to no avail, even offering to send them photos that I'd taken. Not only did no one contact me, I know they received my complaint because I got a follow-up survey inquiring as to my satisfaction regarding the efficacy of their follow-up. Incredible! You can't make this stuff up. I've even checked Junk, thinking "surely not, surely *someone* would have written back; maybe it went into the Spam folder." Nope. Non. Nada. Anyway, the woman at the front desk was lovely, friendly, chatty, and very welcoming. Despite that, unless I want more scabs, returning to this EWC seems unwise and so I won't.
