I've been going back to Kristine these past few months and I love getting my nails done by her because I know the quality will be there. I highly recommend Kristine - she is very meticulous with her work, and my nails and cuticles turn out very clean every time. Kristine remembers my preferences and gives me her input and recommendations which is really helpful! I'll keep going back to her until I graduate. read more

Today I wanted a natural almond shaped nail look and Kim nailed it right on the dot!! I don't usually post reviews but I've been seeing Kim throughout my school here in Boston and am sad to be moving back to the west coast to find a new nail tech. The shape of the nail is exactly what I wanted and she makes sure it's even/ symmetrical. She never makes it too bulky and it looks like the extension is part of my real nail which is hard to find with techs! She also mixes the natural nude colors to get the perfect shade. If Kim isn't available I usually would sit and wait for her no matter how long it takes, but I normally book an appointment with her. She also stays later past closing to give you her best work too. Highly recommend!! read more

I'm in love with my fall nails and highly recommend Kristine!! She is kind and patient when figuring out colors for your choice of design. I'm in Boston for school so finding a nail salon that is fairly priced and easy to access was key. These were $85 (65 for gel x fill + 20 for design) and the salon is right off of the green line. Compared to other salons with mean nail techs and $100+ nails before tip, I feel like I've hit the jackpot! read more

Hello, I was in Back Bay and the worst pedicure ever! Instead of 35 min for 35$ only 25 min. first my feet got nearly boiled in much too hot water and after that hardly anything done, no skin scrubbing on the feet, nails were cut already so only washing, a little skin cutting on the toes, creaming including 5 min massage and good bye. Very unfriendly and always trying to sell you something more. Never ever again!!! read more

Staff were very kind and sweet. Customer service is the only reason I am writing 2 stars instead of 1. Quality of the nails I received are the worst I have had in years. This was my first time visiting and I can safely say I don't see myself returning. The nails are misshapen, different lengths, very lumpy, and the technician seemed to be inexperienced with chrome powder despite agreeing to the design. My friend was waiting with her nails soaking in acetone for over an hour, and also was not 100% satisfied with her results. Lastly, the tools were not sanitized between clients. The quality of the nails you receive seems to be dependent on the technician. I had high hopes and I feel bad leaving this review because the staff were so nice. read more

I don't get my nails done very often so I don't know if I'm being unreasonable, but I was very disappointed. I got a gel manicure which was very nice until I asked for the design which was a thin line in the style of a reverse French manicure. Attached is a picture of the inspiration (with a silver line), compared to mine (which I asked for in gold). I think the difference is self-explanatory. I asked her to leave a gap like in the inspiration photo, but her line was so thick that it looked even worse with a gap so I just accepted what she did and decided I'd take it off when I got home. I would have asked her to remove it or just stop but she was impatient when I was picking out my colors and when I was hesitant about her line work, so I just decided that I wanted it over with. I'm going home to take it off immediately. I wish she would have just told me she couldn't do it. read more

She asks me what I want and gives very good recommendations in terms of style/color/nail shape. She is also fun to chat with, which makes the appointment always very enjoyable. In addition to medicure, she also does pedicure, waxing and dipping. I recommend Cindy to my friends and neighbors. She is amazing!!! Love her!!! read more

I tried this place several times. At first, I had overall good experiences with just plain gel Then, I was testing out styles for my wedding nails, and tried the gel-x. Twice, I went in and the tech who was removing the old nails (that I had done at this salon) asked me where I had gotten my nails done with a negative connotation (as if she thought it was done poorly). I brushed it off the first time, but it happened the NEXT time I went in as well, with a different technician! That was a red flag. Then, the last time I went there, I asked to have the gel-x removed and it was SO. PAINFUL. It was not a professional job whatsoever--I could've done it myself the way she was removing them. And my nails were so damaged, thin and brittle. I haven't been back, and have not had the same issue with removal when going to other salons. read more

I have been here twice. The first time here was fine. Gel mani with no frills, but prices were reasonable. Second time in I came in for gel mani and gel pedi. The woman who did my pedi used a cheese grater on my heels to remove the callous. This was ok, but she grated so hard that she left my heel bleeding. She then scrubbed my entire heel, despite the fact I had an opened wound. My heel is still sore, swollen and red a week later (see photo). I literally got a tetanus shot because I was worried about infection. For the mani, she asked if I wanted dip instead of gel. I agreed, because I'm up to try a new product. It was okay until she literally dipped my fingers in the powder. So unsanitary. She also skipped cleaning my nail beds and cuticles. The dip got so close to my cuticles that I had to cut it back myself when I got home. Also she refused to clean the dip under my fingernails. Will not be returning. read more

Decided to treat myself and booked an appointment for a gel manicure for Saturday morning right when they opened. I arrived on time, and they were welcoming and had me choose a color. I didn't realize how sheer the color I chose was, so the manicurist went and got similar color choices for me, which I appreciated. The manicure itself was painless and she did a great job. It was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised when she massaged my hands after. A week later, my nails haven't chipped. In terms of safety, there was only one other woman getting her nails done and each station is separated by glass. Would definitely come here again! read more

Someone recommended this salon to me because it was closer to where I live compared to where I usually go. Unfortunately, I would rather make the hour commute to get my nails done somewhere else than come back here. It took 2 hours for the woman to do my dips with tips and they came out horrible. I have never had such bumpy dip. Also, after she was done putting on the dip, she put gel polish on my nails and put my nails under the light??? that is not dip. Definitely a waste of money and do not recommend this place read more

Unsanitary. They use the same instruments for different clients without sanitizing. The mani/pedi is really low quality. I've never had my nails chip so fast :/. The nail dryer doesn't actually blow air, so there's no way to dry your nails except to let them air dry, which takes a long time. When I asked if they had another dryer, they said no, the owner knows it doesn't work and won't fix it. read more

I really hate writing bad reviews because I know how hurtful it can be to a business. But I've been giving this local chain my hard earned $$ since I was 15, taking the 23 bus from Dorchester, the 1 from Dudley and walking to their tremont location to see my girl Kim. I live in the south end now & I'm closest to the West Rutland shop so I called this am to see if there was an opening for a pedi & to fix a broken dip nail. I was told to come right away. The pedicure was phenomenal then another tech whose mood is as flip floppy as New England weather was assigned to me. She immediate takes cuticle clippers & starts ripping @ my nail, tearing off most of the top layer. I politely asked if she could not and she gave some nonsensical excuse then wrapped my nail and got up and walked away. I'm listening to music and I know it takes a while to dissolve the powder but 5 mins later she's giving someone else a pedicure!!! I ask who will be doing my nails & she's the only one "available" who knows how to do dip. Here's the thing: (1) maybe she assumed I wasn't going to pay for the repair -- except even when they insist the repair is free I tip them generously. (2) Are you literally giving me an attitude for a service I'm paying you for? I asked who would be doing my nails and was told I'd have to wait because she was with a client -- excuse me, we're both clients. If when u called she wasn't available I would've stayed home. So what happened? The receptionist started to do my nails and I coached her through cutting the sides off to achieve the almond shape -- she didn't realize she had my skin and almost cut a chunk off of my finger. I had an accident here earlier in the year that involved my eye, super glue & the BMC ER & I have them another chance. Getting your nails done is hit a chore. It's an expensive, luxury service. This was not relaxing & not cheap. I got here at noon. It's 1:47 & I'm not yet done -- for a pedi & broken nail. Sadly, I work in the service industry so I will still tip 20% because people have children to feed but this was sad. read more

Got a gel manicure here last week since I wanted to try somewhere new. They charged $35 which is a little bit higher than what I'm used to for Boston. The manicurist did take her time which I appreciated as I have definitely been rushed out of salons in the past. I am deducting one star since that skin around the nail beds did feel a little irritated after. I'm a nurse and the color has lasted 10 days which is a sign of a good manicure in my book. read more

I was in town for a wedding and in need of a manicure and pedicure. This place was right next to my Airbnb so it seemed like the fast and easy choice. The salon is in a weird little corner so there isn't a ton of room for pedicure chairs so you can't have both done at the same time, which wasn't an issue for me. It's not clean. Like really not clean. The autoclave had stuff on top of it and was blocked by a rack of polish so how they actually clean their tools and make them appear in autoclave bags I am not sure. I am pretty sure my pedicurist used old gloves too because they were covered in polish. The floors and walls are gross and dirty looking like it hasn't been cleaned in like 10 years. There were tools hanging in the stained glass window that separates the back and the front of the shop. My manicure experience was fine. No frills, but I am not one for extra massaging or scrubbing. Needless to say, it started wearing off on day two. So minus some points for longevity. My pedicure was perhaps the worst I've ever gotten. The footbaths look FILTHY and the chairs are worn out and covered in a weird gray film (not like an intentional film either). They put blue dye in the water too...for what reason I don't know but you're basically simmering in what looks like an old time-y barbershop comb holder. Gross. The pedicurist cut my cuticles with vigor. So much so my pinky toe bled for about 2 minutes and she had to interrupt the pedi to stop my toe from bleeding. Then she proceeded to clip into my skin on my big toe and middle toe. I couldn't wear the shoes I bought for the wedding because they rubbed on my raw skin. The worst part was when I tipped her she gave me a look of disgust like I wasn't giving her enough. It was because the singles were atop the $5 bill below. It was a pretty bad experience. read more

I'm a bit disappointed with my pedicure. I chose this place because they had the cheapest pedicures I could find ($35), which now I can see why they're cheaper. They accept walk ins, and there was no wait. There were no customers in the front, only a couple in the back that I couldn't even see. The nail techs were hanging around so it wasn't like there was a rush but my tech went really fast. I didn't even get to enjoy my pedicure. She clipped my toe nails and filed them unevenly. The entire process was just rushed, which is probably why the end result is sub par. I most likely won't be coming back here. read more

By far the worst manicure I have ever received. I walked out of there with bright red cuticles, nails of all different lengths, and the polish wasn't even put on well. I should have done my own nails at home. I had remains of a dip manicure on my nails that I needed to get taken off - the woman here RIPPED of each piece of dip nail polish with her own fingernails. No soaking or nail polish remover, it was extremely painful and I had to pull back my hands a few times because of the pain (I know, I should've gotten up and left in this moment) This place is also NOT sanitary. The pieces to the buffer machine were stored in an old container of a 24 piece Disney puzzle. Do not go here! Go to Miniluxe if you're looking for a clean, reliable experience. This place is terrible! *UPDATE* 10 days later. This place absolutely destroyed my nails. They are paper thin and very weak right now. No to mention, are extremely torn apart from the "manicurist" at this place ripping off the dip manicure I had previously. I'm embarrassed I payed to go here. read more

I had such a great experience at PJ's Nails on Gloucester Street - thanks to the lovely Anna! She took care of my gel manicure and spa pedicure, and I honestly can't say enough good things about her. She's warm, welcoming, and has this infectious energy that instantly puts you at ease. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows in the quality of her work. My nails came out beautifully, super clean, polished, and exactly how I wanted them. The spa pedicure was relaxing from start to finish, and Anna paid close attention to every detail without rushing. It felt like a real treat. The salon itself is clean, cozy, and inviting. Prices are totally in line with the area, and honestly, for the level of care and service you get, it feels more than fair. I left feeling pampered and refreshed. Highly recommend booking with Anna, she's a gem. I'll definitely be back when I get my air miles in order - LOL. Bless you, Anna!

The studio was half full of people getting manicures done. The service was great from checkin process, getting my nails done, to checkout. My gel manicure lasted about 3 weeks before one nail started peeling and my pedicure is still pristine as the day I got it. It was a fairly quiet morning during my visit. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking them out if you need any services.

It was my first time getting Gel X and I love them so much more than the regular acrylic nails I had before. Kim is such a PROFESSIONAL at what she does. She really took the time to make sure that all my nails were even in length and width. She paid extra attention to details around my cuticles. I'm so impressed by her skills. I really wish I could come here to get my nails done every month but I'm leaving for home (Orange county, CA) tomorrow after a wonderful week long trip in DC and Boston. . I really look forward to my next trip here to Boston and lovely Beacon Hill. Thank you again so so so much Kim. Thanks Wendy and Jang for being so fun to talk to.

For context, I have pretty severe cystic acne, went through one round of Accutane which helped initially, but then my acne came back with a vengeance. I had awful inflamed nodules and acne all along my neck that were painful and itchy, and it is completely smooth and clear now thanks to Kelly's skill and persistence in extracting. I also get microdermabrasion, which she recommends on weeks when my skin is looking calmer and can benefit from the extra exfoliation to get rid of dead skin and help with scarring. She also does scalp and facial massages to help you relax during the treatment which is really nice. If you have acne-prone skin that hasn't responded to typical treatments or medication from dermatologists, I wholeheartedly recommend seeing Kelly. Getting regular extractions and facials with her has made a world of difference, and I can finally see real progress in my skin that actually lasts.

I think this salon is elite and would highly recommend as they do an amazing job. I got both a russian gel manicure (Yanna - color: natural, paid $110) and pedicure (Anna - $135) and the quality is amazing, my cuticles are so clean but they do a really good job in making sure it's not invasive (I've had some bad experiences where they are super invasive and have gotten painful, red and swollen cuticles). Another thing that I wanted to mention is that when they remove previous gel, they are so experienced in making sure not to buff too much. Sometimes, at other salons, I've experienced alot of pain due to the heat spike when curing because of this but had zero pain today which I absolutely loved. They take great care throughout the service and are extremely detailed oriented. I've never had a better quality service and will definitely be a regular customer here. The salon itself is so cute and girly, everything is pink, well-designed and super clean, I feel like a princess. If you're on the fence, definitely do it, you won't regret it. The glazing is completely unsponsored or solicited, I just wanted to rave about a really great experience.

The confidence and good feeling I get every time I look down and see my hands is so worth it. Besides everyone being so nice, a few specific things really set this salon apart from any other I've been to: 1. SO CONSISTENT - It literally doesn't matter who here does your nails bc they're all so great. Many salons are "amazing... if you ask for XYZ". Here, I have yet to ask for any specific person, I've have had my nails done by probably five different people at random, and I don't have a complaint about any. Every single time I leave so content, and they last so long every time. They also really know their strengths so if for some reason you have a really detailed art that maybe someone else is better at, they'll just switch out at the end. Which to me is a positive and that they care enough to openly tap in whoever can do the best job. 2. SOOO SKILLED WITH NAIL ART! Find a super cute nail design on TikTok? They'll repeat it to a T, no matter how detailed! Other times I just say "I like this vibe, but doesn't have to be exact" and they're fine with that too. 3. HAVE A GOOD EYE/SENSE OF What looks good- I can be indecisive so them being able and willing to tell me which of my color options they like best or a potentially cute design idea if I'm drawing a blank is so helpful and appreciated. They've even recommended a different nail shapes based on my goals re: growing them out, which was really nice. 4. NO WAIT TIMES?!? I have no idea how this happens because you'd think it means they're not busy, but nope- there are always people in there, but it never feels crowded or chaotic at all. they're so well organized and efficient. I think I've made an appointment like twice and the other times they were so welcoming for walk-ins, and had me sit down and got started immediately.

The WORST experience ever. I went to this salon since it was close to my work and I was able to get…read morean appointment between my meetings. The actual experience for a gel pedicure was average - good nail polish technique, not great with the massage and scrubbing for a $55 pedicure plus tip. Anyway, I walked out happy with a fun nail color ready for my vacation week. Next day, while running errands I noticed one of the nails was bare with no polish - the entire gel polish had slid off. Slowly through the afternoon, all nails showed the same wear and the nail polish started falling off. I called the salon and the person on the phone apologized and said that they will take care of me once she spoke to her manager. The manager asked me to come back for a gel nail polish re do which was not feasible since I work in Boston and don't live there. Then they offered me a $13 refund for a $55 service which was so poorly done that the gel nails which I thought will last me 3 weeks, lasted less than 24 hours. I texted them pictures of my toes as requested, asked for a refund of at least 50% of the cost of the service. They held firm at the $13 refund which I declined. I had to go to another salon, spend $50 again for gel nails. I'm never going back here again.

I was able to see all 3 family members in action together at the shop while trying to resolve my issue with these horrific nails. Thank you Kathy for my refund and understanding. On the day of my appointment I was 1 of 2 black females getting our nails done the other black woman's nail station was right next to mine and all the other customers were white. My issue was quality of work and the other black woman's issues were quality of work and pricing ( they kept changing the prices on her) I am not sure if this was a racial discrimination or male chauvinism, but 2 things can be true at the same time. Like I said the owner/mother/wife Kathy was awesome and I wish I had only had my experience with her but unfortunately I was met with the 2 idiots. My advice to Kathy was to REMOVE the son from the reception role and NEVER introduce the husband to customers again. Thank you
