This place is a little hidden, I must have driven by it at least a 1000 times and not noticed it. I walked in without an appointment, totally expecting to be disappointed You walk in and are greeted right away, asked to pick out a color And they give you an idea of how long it will be before they can see you. The salon is a bit dated but you can tell it is clean. You don't get a back rub or a fancy parafin like some of the other places - - but you're also not paying the exorbitant amount they charge. Because I work in healthcare I requested my nails be short which is usually met with some funny looks, but the woman I had was fine with it. I opted for a gel French minicure.... Service was fast, inexpensive, and everyone was super friendly.... No pain involved so I will definitely be back. read more

This place was empty when we went in and is quite large inside. We did not have an appointment but they were able to take us. This place is not what I'd call friendly - in fact they didn't say hello or interact at all with my daughter who had her nails done. The French tips were done really well but I can say the atmosphere and interactions from workers were extremely poor. This place could be much better if there was an interest in customer service. It's too bad really. Personally we will go to a place that is friendly but only does a so-so job on the nails. 5 is for the work; 1 for mood of the place. read more

Had my nails done here by Lisa today. She did a wonderful job and is so very sweet. Will definitely be back again. Thank you Lisa. My new go to place for sure. read more

I came in to the salon wanting a full set. The nail technician helped me in picking a color. She took her time to ensure what I wanted was done correct. I am extremely picky with my nails and appreciated her honesty and time she took to ensure they looked great! Reasonable prices and clean salon. Will definitely return to this establishment. read more

Brow waxing at its best...yes. This business is called "Nails 21", but the woman here performed some serious eyebrow artistry for me. I was in a bind and didn't have much time. I was attending an event and my eyebrows were a little wild. Not mono-brow, crazy curly..but they needed attention. A little too much to handle with my own tweezing efforts. I then remembered that I saw a woman waxing brows at a nail place where I received a random, average pedi a few months back. Why not? In my opinion, your eyebrows can make or break your eye make-up efforts. While I am light-haired, my eyebrows are lush and full...and my skin is sensitive. Waxing for me before an outing is risky business with the chance of puffy, redness aplenty...what can I say? I am a risk taker. There were no lavender scented pillows or pan flute melodies in my own private treatment room. I actually sat in a chair in the middle of the salon in full view of a couple gals getting their toes tended. Atmosphere? Not so much. But - the results. Wow. She was meticulous with her waxing, plucking and trimming me to eyebrow perfection. Best of all? It was pain free with absolutely no irritation or puffiness. 10 minutes and done? No appointment needed? All for $10? Amazing. read more

Lisa is the BEST! She is the sweetest and most sarcastic little lady who I adore. She always makes you feel so comfortable and is absolutely incredible at her acrylics!! Their color selection always takes me so long because there really is every option under the sun. She always wants to add a little sparkle or design to make a set more personal and LOVES when you just let her surprise you! She is the only one I'll go see and I am never disappointed read more

I'm surprised how many stars this place has... maybe I hit it on an off day? I stopped in here for a last minute manicure (walk-in service) and was a less than impressed with some of the polish. Some appeared to be old - with that separation that happens to polish. One out of the three ladies working seemed very pleasant, but unfortunately she was with a customer (and it wasn't me!) I wish the small fans they had at the nail station I was seated at had been a little cleaner as there were some lint, could have been wiped down too. Was it filthy? No. Maybe I'm picky but for me these little things make a big difference because it makes me wonder what else aren't they cleaning? My nail polish did bubble a little bit so I was not extremely happy when I noticed this, as I could have easily done that myself. read more

I needed the same COVID induced makeover as the rest of the world! I was able to make an appointment on 6/1 for a full set and pedicure! Let me first say I have been a client of Lisa's for almost 20 years and have always considered her to have the cleanest, most sanitary salon in RI! After arriving today, and seeing the clever techniques used to keep everyone safe and looking their best caused me to think, yet again, NAILS 21 is the best salon in RI! She treats her long time clients as well as walkins just the same-with respect! It's always fun to be there, and EVERYONE does a Fabulous job! Even for just a broken nail, I will drive by many salons, just to get to Nails21! Don't take my word for it, go see for yoursef! read more

I visited Nails 21 in the middle of the day, excited to relax and treat myself to a much needed mani pedi. There are 8 manicure stations and the same number of pedicure stations. A mani pedi combo was $35, which is average in this state. The selection of nail polishes was 99% opi, and they also have a great gel or shellac selection. I wasn't pleased by the staff, who weren't necessarily unfriendly, but by no men's did they go out of their way to be warm. The back of my massage chair had been taped by duct tape, and the arm rest was incredibly dirty with nail polish. I did not want them to use a razor on my callouses, but was amazed with how little time the woman used a pumice stone. We didn't even use it on the sides of my feet. Sub par. That's half the reason one gets a pedicure! My manicure station was a bit dirty as well. As Andrea R. pointed out in her review, the fans are dirty and dusty. My tech bumped my ring finger while he was painting the top coat, and when she started over, she didn't use a base coat. My nails came out with a few bubbles, and some paint on my cuticles and skin. It looks like I had done it on my own. I will not be returning to this nail salon :( read more

It is always great to find yourself with extra time in the middle of the day to get a pedicure. I walked in on a Monday afternoon and there was no wait at all. The polish choices were great and they won me over with having the razor as an option for the pedicure (let's hope they sterilize very well). The staff is friendly enough and the atmosphere is decent. The chair offers a few massage options and the pedicure was relaxing. You can add your tip directly to the credit card and the prices are reasonable. I look forward to getting another mid day pedicure in the future! read more

Aesthetically this place is welcoming and clean. I rather enjoyed going here when I lived in Warwick as it was close and a nice place to get pampered. The quality of the work however was not up to par in my opinion. My acrylics often lifted easily, which in a weird way was a blessing in disguise. I was in a car accident and when my airbag deployed my nails literally flew off my fingers. Had they been done well, I might have torn my real nails, but alas they simply popped off as if they had been taped on! read more

It was really dead when I went in which scared me however, Lisa did my nails and I am very happy! She was so fast. I will definitely be back! read more

Love love love this salon!! No it is not the cleanest nor the nicest looking one, but for the price and the quality, love them! I always go on my break and can get it done! read more

I haven't been to this salon in about 5 years and now I remember the reason. However, I was in the mood to try a different salon than my regular one. Not only is the staff not particularly friendly, I was very disappointed by the bubbles found on a few of my nails, as well as some paint on my skin and cuticles. The technician I had barely smoothed out the rough skin on my heels. Also, please ask me if I want to take my rings off before you slather lotion on all over them. Pricing is average, $35 for a mani/pedi combo, yet I was also charged $5 more for removing the gel polish off my hands, which my regular salon does not charge for. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to this nail salon. read more

When nails 21 first opened it was the best salon! Now the girls all look miserable and talk about you in whatever language they are speaking. I went here for 6 years. Will not be returning! read more

I was so impressed by how friendly, fast, and helpful this place was! I couldnt believe how it didnt even smell like a salon very clean and fresh! The massage chairs were wonderful. I won't go anywhere else now! read more

Awesome massage chairs! Thorough pedicure, nice polish selection. I will be back next time I am in RI.

If I could give this place less than 1 star, I would. The manager, or the lady who thinks she is the manager is incredibly rude and does a terrible job.....probably because she is so interested in what's on television instead of paying attention to her job. She kept stopping my manicure to watch and comment on a game show. She got polish all over my nails and it was all bubbled up when I left. Not worth the money....I could have done a better job myself. If you want a good nail place, don't go here. read more

I came to check this place online because I usually go during the week and I need the open hours on Sunday. I was shocked to see so many bad reviews. I've had my nails done for over 25 years in 2 different states. I've been going here regularly for over a year and love this place. No appointment needed. My shellac nails generally stay on for almost 3 weeks, very reasonable, and extremely clean! I love the brand new pedicure massage chairs. Nice upgrade. I'm hesitant to tell people how great this place is because then it'll become more busy and I might have to wait more. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to get your nails done or eyebrows waxed. If you're looking for a posh spa experience with smiles, banal conversation, and atmosphere, then go to a spa! This is a great nail place. read more

I had been going here every few weeks when I was working . I stopped going because I lost my job and I had to make some sacrifices to survive. A few years past and I decided to start getting my nails done again a few months ago because I am getting married. When I walked in for the first time in almost 5 years I was greeted by name and welcomed like I was a long lost family member. I agree that some of the ladies do not do as good of a job as others. Every salon is like that. But if you are unhappy with the end result, tell them, they will fix it for you and make it so you are happy. This is the only place my sister, mother and myself will go! read more

I was being serviced by this salon for close to 1 year. I do not know why I continued. Each time I entered for a fill the manager, would always extend a nasty comment . I was perplexed!! Comments such as: Why is it taking you so long to find a color, you smug you pay, stop moving stay still, my nails grow up is why she said I was getting fungus and why my nails would pop off. Not true! Her method of filling was she would apply the product and not take off some of the existing acrylic therefore my nail would be thick not natural looking. I accidentally dropped a bottle of polish on her rubberized flooring she said you break it it will make a big mess. During the Winter Olympic she said she had no interest in watching so all of her TVs were on other shows. Customers wanted to watch as they received her service, finally she changed the station. One time I offered mints to her and her staff, she objected and said no they can not have any. What a control freak she also said the can only play Candy Crush on their phones/ ipads. Every time I left there I was very stressed and would go home complaining. My husband told me not to return but I did not listen. My last encounter left me in tears. My polish had dust in it, polish was uneven (she always put something in them when the polish was too thick instead of buying more) sloppy, I had polish on the skin around my nails. I approached the manager in tears as she played her game on her phone showing her the terrible job her clinician did. She did not have the courteous to examine my nails, she did not have her clinician fix the mess, nor did she give me a refund. All she cares about is making money. I would NEVER recommend this salon to enemy. read more

Pretty clean, and cleanliness is my #1 factor for a nail salon. Gel manicure is quick and OK, peels a little more quickly than other salons I've been too. Keep coming back bc the location, cleanliness, and prices are the most reasonable near me read more

I've been here a good number of times for varying things (gel polish manicures and pedicures mostly) and the quality of service has decreased each time. I've given this place enough chances and I will not be back. My last pedicure from here didn't last long since the woman didn't use enough polish and painted far away from the nail bed. The rest of the pedicure experience was fine so I was hoping that was just bad luck and I went back today. Today's pedicure was the most disappointing pedicure I've ever had. My feet aren't very rough so no razor is needed, but my feet needed some exfoliating and the woman barely touched my feet with the pumice stone. She also did it mostly w/o looking and while talking to her co-worker, so for the brief amount of time she did use it she missed the areas she should have been focusing on. For the leg/foot massage all she did was keep rubbing the top of my legs and top of my feet with the lotion and exfoliation stuff. Really, the TOP of my feet with no attention paid to the rest of my foot. (She held my feet down flat on the surface they use to paint your toes so it was impossible to even get my toes or underside of my feet...weird.) No one gets a pedicure to have the already soft top portion of their feet exfoliated. You obviously get one to have the bottom of your feet softened. Wondering if this was a new policy or something I glanced over at someone else getting a pedicure and noticed she was getting a normal foot massage, so I guess if you get the right person you can have a better experience. After placing a hot towel on my legs she let it sit for a minute and then just wiped off the product with the towel instead of rinsing off my legs/feet like they used to do there. When I'm done writing this review I will be off to take my second shower of the day to get the residue off. What if I was going directly out after my pedicure? There have been plenty of times I've gone to get my nails done before going to an event! The pedicure was $25, which is a good price generally, but today I felt like it was $25 wasted. The woman did not talk to me and talked to her coworker in another language. This doesn't really bother me as I'm used to that occurring at other salons as well, but if you are someone looking for friendly, attentive service you would be best to look to a different salon. I will not give the salon a one-star rating because it has a good selection of polish (though some are old and separated to the point where a few good shakes won't mix them back up), is generally clean in appearance (never can tell if a salon sanitizes properly but I know they have the machines and I hope they use them!), and there were plenty of employees so there was no wait time. read more

I went in 3 weeks ago to get my acrylics done and they came out perfect! And now three weeks later they still look good. Service was fast and friendly and I will definitely be going back. read more
