called for a same day walk in on a Saturday and they were able to accommodate. Diana was great! She listened to exactly what I wanted for my nails and never tried to tell me what to do. She took time and careful attention to make it what I wanted! read more

This is the BEST nail salon I have ever been too. Diana is a pro, I always walked out with immaculate nails that stayed perfect for a month. I am so sad that I moved out of Boston and can't go here anymore. Also everyone who works here is incredibly friendly and welcoming! read more

Got a great gel manicure here after a friend recommended this place to me. Owner Tina is super nice and remembers her customers. Diana did my nails and she did a really nice job. Didn't give me any flack for my really short nails, either! Price is exceptional for the value. read more

I came in to get a traditional mani/pedi and Kim took care of me. She did an excellent job, showed great attention to detail, and while my nails were drying she gave me such a relaxing neck and back massage. It was such a treat! Thank you for your great service! read more

I just got the BEST PEDICURE of my LIFE HERE, and it was only $30!!! The woman who did my toes spent 30 minutes literally just shaping and cleaning up my feet meticulously, then gave me a great leg massage and painted my toes beautifully. The entire pedicure was an hour!! I never write yelp reviews but I just had to recommend this place because they are the BEST. Will definitely be going back soon. read more

This is my new favorite nail salon. I've been shopping around lately just not fully satisfied with the places in Brighton for a gel manicure. Diana is thorough, precise, and speaks English! A different woman wrapped my nails initially and noticed I was stretching my neck and gave me a neck massage! It was glorious. read more

Diane is amazing! Love love her work. This place is very clean and organized. They have so many colors to choose from and Diane always replaces everything so everything is new. Lisa does a great pedicure. Everyone there is very sweet and kind. read more

Was walking by and decided to see if they took walkins. I was greeted by Diana who was pleasant and cheerful. I asked to have my dip removed then added on a manicure. My manicure was performed by some else but Diana wrapped my nails. I was accommodated but felt like the manicure took longer than normal and I was nicked twice by my manicurist who may have been a little zealous with my cuticles. Other than that the place was clean and I practiced COVID-19 procedures. read more

See all

This place is awesome, there are no shortage of nail salons in Brookline, but this place is above all others (even the fancy chain). My previous salon closed during covid so I've been coming here for the last couple years. Diana is professional and meticulous. My review picture speaks for itself, this was today, 3.5 weeks after manicure, with 2 activity filled weeks in Hawaii. You can see that there was no chips or peel whatsoever. read more

3 years ago I left a great rating for Nail Stylus and I'm happy to report that they still get 5 stars from me. I continuously go to Diana and her customer service, talent, kindness, and patience is unmatched. I have gone to other more posh places in Brookline and boston and have not had a manicure (primarily I get gel but sometimes regular) last as long as when I get them done by Diana. She is meticulous with her work and always goes above and beyond. They practice great safety measures and I typically call a few days in advance to secure a reservation. This past time I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure and the picture is of my manicure 3 WEEKS LATER to the date. It's funny, sometimes I'll go in and Diana mentions I haven't been in for a while and I say it's because your manicures are TOO GOOD. I'm pretty rough on my hands and workout a lot, so with a simple cuticle oil daily, this manicure has been preserved for 21 days now. I plan to get another week out of them before I go in and get fresh paint before a trip. Seriously. All the women at Nail Stylus are great to be around and always so kind! read more

I am not going to change the number of stars but I got information. There is a guy customer there for pedicure one day. I was like "Wow" And Tina(my favorite manicurist) told me that actually they frequently have male customers. So she asks me to bring my boyfriend for dating. Isn't it actually fun? I want to try pedicure dating if my boyfriend is open to jump into girl's world. -------------------------First review------------------------------------------------------ The first reason why I came here was just soooo frustrated by breaking up. You can have a lot of questions on breaking up but I think it is always good to be cuter than before. I know I am like a Elle Woods in the legally blond but it worth it. Since then I come here every week. I know nail is a thing that you can take care of, but sometime it is very worth seeing the reality someone taking care of your nails. Beauty is very important thing for woman to shift your mentality to better way. Do you like to eat a potato with soil? How do you feel if your dinner was potato with soil? I just want to serve myself with good presentation. At least washed potato! This is good place to cook yourself a little bit. By the way, I think the review of this place is depend on who you get. Some people amazingly great and their manicure last longer. read more

I came into Nail Stylus with the impression that it was sweatshop-like. I decided to give it a chance anyway. This was a choice I would regret. IF YOU WANT ACRYLIC NAILS OR GOOD SERVICE SEEK ELSEWHERE. not only were they bad, they were downright horrible. I had Kelly. She was out of touch with what looks good for nails. She gave me misshapen, rough-looking, sloppily-painted nails the first time around. Then, I complained to her and she was like OK I'll fix it. I am aware she spent three hours on my nails to try and make them perfect. I felt sorry, until I saw the other side of her. She was rude and unwilling to admit her faults. There were white lines where the acrylic hit my nails. it was a sloppy job. When I pointed it out, she played dumb, refusing to admit that there were white lines. Incredibly stubborn. Before all this, the surrogate manager (a 17 year old named Jen took the managers place because she was on vacation) told me that she never even comes here herself because they are terrible at the nails. She told me that if she were me, she would have walked out a long time ago without paying. It was that bad. This lady didn't know what she was doing. I had to sit there, with a packed store, filing my own nails because Kelly couldn't do them right. It was ridiculous. After it all, it was still a sloppy job. I asked for my money back. They were stubborn and wouldn't give it to me. So I was like, "fine whatever I don't even care anymore" and began to walk out. Then I stopped at the stairs and told them that I thought about it and I wanted AT LEAST my tip back, because she didn't deserve it- she didn't know how to do her job. The lady who did my nails walked up to me, pulled the five dollars out of her pocket, and threw it on the floor in front of me. TERRIBLE SERVICE. go somewhere else. P.S. They DO NOT sanitize their instruments. read more

We (myself and two other family members) where bummed when the pottery place next door was full so we couldn't paint. The next best thing - mani's and pedi's of course! So we wondered in and they took us right away and made us feel very comfortable. The place was clean and there where many colors to chose from. We where very happy with or services. Wish I had the name of the techs but the one who did a wax was very gentle (considering) it's still a very painful process. This place is definitely worth a visit and the price point is good too! read more

What an amazing experience. Not only do my nails look incredible and clean, but they gave such amazing service and even massaged me while my nails were drying. They were so accommodating, gave me water, and helped me put on my shoes. This is my new favorite salon! read more

Just went there for a gel manicure ( $27 ) done by Diana. The salon was pretty clean and almost empty. I called before, see if I could get a manicure even 1hour before they close ( don't wanna be this annoying customer who show up too late ) Diana took care of my nails and I am very happy. Since English is not my first language I get " stressed " about going to salons where most of workers don't really speak english, which is even more awkward when you are foreign. But Diana was perfect! I picked a color and she did the job, and kind of fast too! In 20minutes I was all set! Thanks!!! Def will go back there if my nails are not chipping tomorrow :) Update : I went there for a eyebrows waxing, asking for Diana. They sent me sitting to a chair and of course I had to guess which one was the right one, since they love pointing whetever you supposed to sit... anyway apparently I had to wait for couple of minutes. 20min later Im still there, no one ask me anything I just feel dumb sitting and waiting for eyebrows. Since they ignored me I just left. Inwould have waited if at least they were saying hi or telling me how long I have to wait or something. Not letting me confused in a corner like a plant! read more

I'm sorry to leave such a poor review, because the staff were all very nice. But I got a gel manicure, and they began peeling off 4 of my nails within an hour or so of leaving the salon. My nails were very poorly shaped and I ended up removing all the gel myself by the next day because the peeling was too excessive. I won't be back for another service. read more

Great OPI shine pedicure! Christina was extremely friendly and did a great job! She even gave a nice strong foot massage. She cleaned up the edges with a brush at the end as well. Would highly recommend if you want a very reasonably priced and solid pedicure. read more

I got a gel manicure and about half of my nails chipped within 3 days. This does not happen at other salons and I will not be back.

I've been here twice for eyebrow waxing. The first time I left loving my shapely eyebrows, but like Amanda H. I felt a lot of pressure to get an upper lip and chin wax as well. "Why you no like wax your lip and chin? Now look hairy and ugly--I make you clean and pretty, ok?" After the third or fourth time the woman said this, I was really uncomfortable. My lip and chin wax turned out well, though. The second time was the deal breaker. A different woman waxed my face and OMFG, she didn't know how to do it or something because my face wasn't only red it was rashy afterward. Bits of the skin on my eyelid, upper lip, and chin formed a scab that I had to pick off in the next 3 days. It was so gross and mortifying. Don't come because it's dirt cheap ($20 for eyebrows, upper lip, and chin). Think of your FACE and your beautiful skin. read more

After reading hot and cold reviews on Yelp for this place, I still went because they were open on a Sunday night, when my girlfriend and I decided at 6 p.m. that we could not face the new fall season without a new pedicure. I'm really glad that I went--Nail Stylus was still full of customers at 7 p.m. and the nail technicians were happy to accomodate us. Although a mani/pedi combo cost only $30 for both, we both received a 4-star experience. They were incredibly sweet, taking my friend even after they turned over their "CLOSED" sign (we had called ahead for a joint appointment but I got there first) then timing their work so that my friend and I could sit together in their cushy massage chairs to get our pedicures. They never rushed us, despite the fact that they were open later than other salons, and were perfectionistic in their treatment of our hands and feet-an experience which can be so rejuvenating after a long week (or uncomfortable, scary and even painful if done wrong). And after nearly a week, neither nail set has chipped. I would definitely go back--although now that the famous Boston chill is on its way, my toes might have to wait til next summer. read more

So, I got my eyebrows waxed here and I don't plan on going back. I get there and I am waiting by the little room that they do the waxing in. One girl and the person doing the waxing come out and then the wax lady wisks me in and I sit down on the waxing table. She def did not change the paper on the table, gross, but I had my clothes on. Secondly, she starts putting the wax on my face before I even tell her what I'd specifically like her to do. So I had to tell her after she put the wax on my face. So backwards. They don't even put lotion on after waxing you, a little moisturizer would be nice. I got home and realized I still had wax on my face. I think my eyebrows a tiny bit uneven, but you can't tell unless you stare at them for a long time. In conclusion, my search for a decent waxing place for under $25 continues... read more

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the whirlwind event that was going to Nail Stylus yesterday for eyebrow waxing. I stopped in yesterday after work for a desperately-needed brow waxing after hemming and hawing for a month, looking for a new place to get them done since my move to Brookline. I was whisked to the back room, after a few attempts to understand exactly WHERE I was going. Employee: "Sit in the chair." Me: "This one?" (moving to a chair nearby) Employee: "No, move back more." Me: "Oh, back here?" (going to a chair further back in the salon) Employee: "No, back more." Me: "Here?" Employee: "No." So no one bothered to just say, "Go ALL THE WAY to the back", which kind of bugged me, because how was I supposed to know where to go? It was my first time in there! Finally I get to the back and lie down on one of the little "waxing cots" (for lack of a better term) and a little Asian lady comes in lickety-split and praises the shape of my eyebrows before slathering on the hot wax and getting down to business. After this, she douses my brows with some awful greasy camphor-smelling solution that, I would imagine, probably helps moisturize and protect the skin after being waxed, but feels disgusting on my skin at the moment. It's about a 5-minute process, start to finish, and before I know it, I'm on my merry way to Stop 'N Shop sporting a strip of red skin above my eyes. In summation, Nail Stylus is incredibly efficient and fast, but the trade-off is the abrupt manner of service. I doubt that one would be here long enough to have juicy conversations with any of the employees. read more

I don't really like getting my eyebrows waxed-- it hurts, my eyes tear, and my skin is red for an hour. But my eyebrows grow in odd shapes, and not the same as each other, so when I pluck them myself I look unnaturally quizzical at all times. Luckily Diana at Nail Stylus is capable of working magic. I always look a thousand times better upon leaving. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair removal. Out of probably 30 waxes, only once I walked in and found out Diana wasn't in (I never have an appointment so those are pretty great statistics). I also use Nail Stylus for mani/pedis when I'm in the mood. The quality varies depending on who does your nails. However, for $10 manis and $20 pedis, it's a guaranteed bargin. Shellac/gel manicures are $25 but considering they last 1-2 weeks the cost is worth it. If you're going to be a regular I recommend finding the person you like the best, and then make an appointment with that manicurist so you're guaranteed a great job every time. read more

Ok, I admit it...I get my eyebrows waxed (or threaded, but I can't find a place in Boston that does that). *phew* I'm glad that's out in the open... So I hate it. It hurts, it's always more expensive than it should be, and it all started when someone a few years older than me suggested it to me...and I was in 8th grade -- that awkward stage where you want boys to like you, but you're really not sure how to go about it. And there's really no turning back after that first time... Anyway, my friend mentioned that she went to this place for her eyebrows and since I had just recently moved to Beantown, I figured it really wouldn't hurt to try it out...especially when it was only $10... My first experience was good. Quick service, none of that awkward idle chitchat, etc. The other day, I notice it's that time again...but I notice that I don't get off work until 5:45...*checks wallet* and I only have $11! Definitely not enough for the waxing and a tip! Talk about awkward chitchat...imagine if I had found that out as I tried to tip her... So I sent a quick text message to my friend...sure enough, Nail Stylus takes plastic...but the big question is...by the time I get from Comm. Ave to Coolidge Corner, will they be open? The answer is...YES! I've never seen a salon with these type of business hours. M-F, they're open from 9am to 9pm...Sat 9am to 8pm, and Sun 9am to 7pm... The place was definitely busy, even tho I got there close to 7:30. I waited for about 5 minutes and was promptly taken care of. So it's a 4 star rating because...while the service was good (it was average. I wasn't ignored, but I wasn't being served champagne and caviar...ew, caviar.), I'm really impressed by the hours and the fact that they take plastic (which, in all honesty, shouldn't surprise me because I'm sure there are more expensive items at their salon and not many people in their right minds carries that type of cash...) Anyway...off the C line, the stop after Coolidge Corner. You go sailing by it before you get to the Summit Ave stop. It's on your right. Nice place...etc. read more

Well, here's my Nail Stylus experience. I recently went somewhere else to get tips for a few weeks, and I wanted them off. Sorry to all the girls that love manicures, but I just wanted my stubbly, nail-bitten nails back. Our show starts with me walking into Nail Stylus... Me: How much to have tips removed? Lady at Nail Stylus: You want refill? Me: No, I just want them removed. LaNS: You want tips removed and manicure? Me: No... I just want them removed. LaNS: Ok, sit here. ...30 seconds later... LaNS: No, now sit over here (moves me somewhere else). Then some girls pulls out all the materials to REFILL THE TIPS. Holy crap, are you people functionally retarded? I reiterated that I wanted the tips REMOVED. Then the girl starts trying to pry them off. Now, I've gotten tips removed before and this is seriously not gonna work, those fuckers are super-glued down. I need to put my hands in a solution first. She finally realizes this and goes to get the solution... About a half hour later and a few more "no thank you"s to a manicure, I finally had my happy real nails back. The ladies smirked and laughed at my small nails then said something to each other in Korean, which made me feel fantastic, and then ordered me to use that clear polish that makes your nails stronger. Never, never again. read more

This place is awesome!! The prices are great...$5 color change?? crazy awesome! The people are warm and friendly, they know my name and they ask about my friends and my mom every time. If you're looking for somewhere really posh and fancy this ain't your joint...but if you're looking for a cool place with great service and won't leave you poor, then this is the place to go. PS I do my eyebrows here too and I ALWAYS get compliments on them... read more

Desperately in need of some relaxation, a friend and I came here for a $30 mani/pedi. I'm a manicure virgin but enjoy the occasional pedicure. My friend (A) is a pro, so it's good to have her around. We get the pedicures first. I'm zoning out, enjoying the massage chair and I hear A ask "is that blood?" Yup, they cut her cuticles too far and she's bleeding. Gross. The manicures were okay but not great. A's manicurist kept messing up and having to redo nails. Also, both of us had chipped nails within the day. read more

There's not too much that's special about this place. Typical run of the mill nail salon, but I really like it a lot. I have been coming here for eyebrow waxes for the last 5 years. I used to live in the area, but then moved, but still make my way back here because they're so consistent with my brows. I would say in those 5 years I've had one wax where she made them too thin. Other than that it's been great. Plus you can't beat the price - $10! I have actually only had a few mani/pedi's here, but each time it's been good. They give EXCELLENT massages when you get a manicure. It's actually involved and incredible. Amy is the best with them. They don't do tips on credit cards, FYI, so make sure you have cash. read more

My friend and I were in need of a mani/pedi and our usual place was booked up. Found Nail Stylus through yelp and it seemed to have the best reviews in the area along with decent pricing and a great proximity to Anna's Taqueria. Mani/Pedi's I think run for about $30 and they do a fine job. They don't jack up your cuticles and make you bleed and regret ever wanting your nails to look decent like some places. The atmosphere is comfortable and they seem to always have at least one person available for walk ins. Seems to be on the busier side on Fridays after work but we may have just caught a high school prom situation one time. We made appointments the first time we went but ever since have just been walks in and there has never been more than a 5 min wait. read more

My go to nail salon. I've always had a great mani/pedi from this place. I've tried many different places in Brookline over the years, I keep going to Nail Stylus. Prices are fair, results are great and the place seems clean. The ladies are very nice too! read more

Diana gives the best gel manicure in Boston! Her work is clean, timely and precise. She's always great at finding the right color for me and always makes sure my nails are nothing short of perfection! She books up quickly so an appointment is always recommended, but I'm always accommodated when I walk in too! read more

I specifically told the tech Vi to keep my nails squared and proceeded to make them oval. Was beyond upset. I mean how more specific could I be? She complimented how nice my nail s were and proceeded to ruin the shape of them. Now I have to wait for them to grow out and reshape them on my own. She's a nice lady, but will do what she wants to your nails. :( I will go back, just not to her. read more

Solid spot for a mani pedi. Everyone's really nice, and even though the place was full they took me right away without an appointment. They did a really thorough job and gave a lengthy massage. I especially like that they didn't rush, and let me sit in the massage chair for a bit while the polish dried. read more

Good place for a mani pedi. Nails chipped in 4 days, pedi has been going strong for 2 weeks. Not the best for an eyebrow wax (they came out uneven). Annie's in Brighton is the best place to go for an eyebrow wax and its about the same price. They take their time to make sure it comes out right. read more
