Very nice place, I had never been despite living in the area - I wish I found it sooner! Great spot. The spa is modern, clean, conveniently located downtown and they offer a variety of services. It was easy to make an appointment online, they also accept walk-ins. The hours are fantastic and they are open every day. While it is located downtown without a designated parking lot, there's usually plenty of parking on the street or on side streets. One of the fastest gel manicures I've ever had. They are thorough and extremely efficient. I wouldn't necessarily say it was the friendliest service I have had, but everyone there seemed nice enough. I appreciated the speed in general but felt rushed to get started, I wish they took a little more time to ask what I wanted (I like clear french tip vs pink). They came out great anyway. They were efficient, accommodating, reasonably priced, and my nails came out well. I'll definitely be back. read more

I've been here several times for pedicures and they do a decent job, if not rushed. Unless you get the pricey option $60-100, then they spend a bit more time. I've never had a manicure here until yesterday when I went in for a polish change. I requested the Dazzle polish because it dries faster which I found out later is $10 more because it "lasts longer". Which it did not. My thumb nail peeled later the same day and you can see the whites of my nails on other fingers. When I called the next day a very nice woman said to come in and they'd fix it. When I went in the man at the desk seemed overwhelmed, said there were 4 people ahead of me and did I know which color it was? I said no but I'll do it myself. I tried to match the color, put some where the thumb cracked, and left. I wouldn't go here for a manicure again and it certainly wasn't worth the $25 plus tip. I was only there for 22 min Friday for the polish change. Not worth it. read more

Nails & Spa ARIA - Day Spas Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

Had a regular pedicure here today and the experience felt rough, rushed, and lazy. My biggest gripe is that they didn't put much attention at all to my cuticles and callus, which made my pedicure feel incomplete. The salon is huge though with over 15 pedicure stations. You can also easily make your appointments online which is nice and appreciated. I am open to giving this place another try in the future but my experience definitely fell flat here today. UPDATE: The Manager had reached out and apologized for my experience here (was told that the girl who did my pedicure today was new and that they will make efforts to do better next time). Perhaps this was just an isolated one off experience. I thought that the Manager came across very sincere and genuinely cared about my experience here which was very positive. read more

Such a beautiful and clean place and each employee is the best. Best employee with super service. Owner is so nice and polite. Just love it... read more

Dazzle Dry line is available here! I had a great appointment and found prices a bit more reasonable than many other salons.

The prices have increased. It's now $38 for a basic pedicure. Yes she wanted me to add on services to the pedicure. While the pedicure looked great I had an issue at check out. Apparently my technician was not happy with her tip. I gave her a gift card and cash and she came back to me letting me know the price of the service had increased (which I accounted for) therefore I assumed she did not like her tip. It was a very good tip. I have been coming here since they opened. The service has been spotty lately. Ready to take my pedicure business to a new location. It's always clean here but lately they have been pushing additional services or add ons and I don't like that. I can't justify a $75 pedi service. read more

This review is possibly ever so slightly slanted by by the fact that before visiting this salon I had gone maybe 8 months or so without a proper mani/pedi... My special talent is thinking of getting a mani/pedi very very last minute and then scrambling to try to find somewhere that's open available and has good reviews... every two months or so i pepper my friends (who are into the more girly things like this and can actually prioritize [aka handle like an adult] the necessary upkeep for gel manicures, etc. I was told by two friends that (since we moved to Wakefield a couple years ago) try out this salon that I had seen/driven by --- and finally this year, I did! They have online booking which is very nice for someone like me who's "flying by the seat of her pants" for booking things between hectic work hours and semblance of a social life. I got a gel mani/ gel pedi (and once I got in the chiar and noticed the signage for different spa types, I opted for the lavender spa pedicure) with Julianna who was very friendly, and didn't skimp on the massage portion of the pedicure which my calves greatly appreciated. Everything was nice and clean and everyone I interacted with was very friendly. Customers who seemed to be regulars were busy catching up over a full set, or a manicure which involved some sort of full-arm masque of some sort (I should've asked more questions about that one, I'll have to try it next time...) I was midway through the manicure and she very kindly mentioned that my hands were 'looking very dry today' -- as someone who's worked in construction for 20+ years, this was the nicest way i e heard someone describe the state of my hands in a while! So sweet! She offered a paraffin wax; which I had never seen or experienced before. When I couldn't get any of my rings off (hydration reminder #745..) she said no bother and quickly wrapped them in cling film to keep wax out of the settings. She then dipped my hands into a little hotpot looking thing a couple times, covered them and they sat wrapped up in some kind of oven mitt looking thing, until she rolled the wax off to reveal what looked like my hands but soft and moisturized!! Usually in a one-off salon I tend to do a bit of people watching and silently critique the cleanliness or the way that employees seem to get along, or not... but this place was very bubbly and some customers who came in ran up and hugged their esthetician after not seeing them in a while, it was honestly the nicest experience I've had in a while. There's tons of parking (just outside along Main Street) and on side streets and then in the public lot at the corner of Water St, and there's a discount if you pay cash. Strongly suggest visiting here for restorative pedicure. They also take walk ins - I dropped in to see if they could take off the gel manicure I'd previously gotten there, they didn't bat an eye [early afternoon on a weekday during school vacation], and they took me right in and $20 later (plus tip) I was walking out with fresh clean nails. read more

Nails & Spa ARIA - gel manicure (March 2023) - Day Spas Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

I have been supporting Aria since I moved to Wakefield . Super convenient and typically can get in pretty easily. The past couple of months however have been extremely disappointing. Changing pricing (and not reflecting it online or in store) and changes to rules. I was charged $20 extra for dazzle dry when I brought my own nail polish in. Frustrating that they didn't tell me upfront. Also waited 30 min past my appointment. Won't be going back after this unfortunately read more

Easy to get an appointment and great service! Enjoy pedicure (olive oil) and manicure! Very relaxing and my polish lasts long time.

I recently got UV gel on my nails with design and it turned out to be really beautiful. My nail technician was very helpful with my manicure selection too. I love Aria. read more

Never again! I've had lots of trouble with appointments at Aria lately but today was the last straw!!! I took 2 appointments for ten am for me and my daughter. This was to be a special bonding time and I haven't treated myself to a manicure in years. I have had two really tough weeks and I was looking forward to doing something nice for myself. Aria had other plans. They decided appointments don't mean anything and neither does the time of their clients. They took my daughter on time at 10 but didn't come for me until 10:30!!! Literally THIRTY minutes late!! At no point did anyone even come over to talk to me about the delay!! They just decided my time didn't matter to them! I couldn't even get a manicure at that point because my daughter was already done. Bonding opportunity and self care moment both completely missed Shame on you Aria!!! read more

I got my nails done from here and I must say that I'm very satisfied and happy. I wanted extensions so first my technician helped me by checking my nails and giving me the best suggestions and the outcomes too. The environment is really nice in there and people are very friendly. I highly recommend this place for a good spa and nail day. read more

I think this place is great, not sure why the reviews are poor. Recently moved to Wakefield and have been here three times every manicurist has done an excellent job. Pedis are great, very relaxing. Paraffin is included in mani and pedis. Have gotten gel and dip. Recommend. They are busy on weekends so make an appointment. Weeknights seem calmer. read more

Just left here from an appointment with my mom we were seen 15 minutes late, which is fine. I was seen even later than that, but was sitting with my mom as they began her service. I had to ask if someone was coming to help me after sitting there for a but longer. My toenails still have dead skin and dried nail polish around them. My service tech was really sweet overall but the job she did was not great. I didn't notice til we left as we had other issues to deal with. My mom booked appointments for herself to get a manicure and a pedicure and they did not even see her for the manicure! They told her to come back after 1230. My mom clarified that she had an appointment and they were apologetic, but we left because we had already been there long enough. Poor time management and service. read more

Have been going there for years. However the quality, service, & care has gone way down lately. I was treated without care and the owner didn't care upon my criticism. I will Not spend $$ there again. read more

Absolutely the best nail and pedicure experience I have ever had. #1. Got appt immediately with Rita(phenomenal) #2. NO SMELL!!! What? Yes, REALLY! #3. Care, kindness, skill: off the hook I am older. I have been around the pedicure block. I was nervous going to new place but had a rave recommendation for Rita at Aria. I have never had a more thorough, perfect pedicure. I have a tendency for ingrown toenails and relayed this. Rita took great care to make sure that would not happen. She restored my feet and truly attended to them in a way I have not seen in years. My feet look amazing. AND she gave me a shoulder and back massage afterwards! I did Lavender healing pedicure. I can wait to try the Olive Oil pedicure. Reflexology, hot-stone, and incredible callous removing all took place. Rita checked in with me constantly to make sure nothing hurt and pressure on leg and foot massage was okay. I am thrilled to have found this place. Thank you Rita. Can't wait for next pedicure... but I will. read more

Had a lovely experience when I first walked in the door with the receptionist greeting me with a big smile on her face. The staff is super friendly, I didn't have an appointment and they took me happily. I had the pleasure to have Janam assist me in having such a great experience. Amazing! read more

I was so impressed with the quick nail art from Isabel that I wanted to write a 5 star review the same day, but 1 week later and 6 of my acrylics (they don't call them acrylics there, it's like a gel dip on top of tips) have fallen off. She was so sweet but never have I ever had my nails literally just pop off so quickly. Really disappointed. If I lived locally I'd go in, but I was visiting my mom from out of town. Unfortunately her gel polish is also chipping. Hate writing a bad review because they were so nice but my nails didn't even last a week and were pretty pricey considering (I live in LA and have had the same nails done for half the price and last three times as long). read more

Always receive excellent service!! Nails always look beautiful! Easy to make an appointment!

I've been going here for 7 years and have ignored a lot of the bad reviews. Unfortunately, today, I had the worse experience ever and will never be stepping foot in this establishment again. I asked to have my powder manicure be removed. While they were removing it, I was nicked on the skin a few times. I let the person know that it hurt each time. On the fifth time, I asked them to stop and have someone else help me. He laughed in my face. When I called the manager over, he did not do anything to help the situation, he just sat in the chair and never checked with me on what was going on. Two lovely ladies came over to help finish taking the polish off. To be laughed at in the face for being hurt by a service you are being provided does not sit well with me. I encourage you to think before you try this spot. read more

I have been to Aria many times for nails and toes but recently I'm disappointed with the shellac nails as it hasn't even lasted 7 days and the tips of my fingers have chipped. This is the 2nd time in the past month. I think there putting many coats of polish on your fingers and if they are it is very lightly coated read more

Reviewing as someone who has been here multiple times I.e., has given multiple chances. The last was the final straw. I booked a mani/pedi. Told the attendant I wanted a regular pedi. The gentleman told me I had calluses and recommended the lavender pedi. Whatever OK I said yes. This is their schtick as long as I've been going to them and threw them a bone. He proceeded to tear my heels apart to the extent I could not bear down on them for 2 weeks! He also was so rough pulling at my legs that he kept twisting my knees. For around $125 I got an hour and fifteen minutes of immediate discomfort and about 2 weeks of lasting pain. DNR read more

This was my gel manicure 48 hours after having it done AND it was 3 coats! The nail technicians were very very sweet but this is the second time this has happened to me and I will unfortunately not be back. I did call and was going to go back to have them fixed but I decided not to because I knew they would just chip again. I swear they dilute their polish or it's expired maybe? Who knows. Sad because it is a nice salon. read more

**3 1/2 Stars** This salon made me feel glamorous! They were gracious in allowing my sister in law and me to get services on a busy Saturday morning. They also offered complimentary drinks and snacks. But..the services were rushed and a little overpriced. I almost felt teased because they gave me a leg and shoulder massage, but about 30 seconds each side. For a $40 pedicure, I needed more! My nails came out nicely but the quality of service could be improved. Many people look to get services that are offered at Aria as a treat and should be given these expectations. read more

I don't like to slam a small business. The pedi/mani was fine, done very quickly. Staff should be told that a tip is an option and they shouldn't be asking the customer for it while they are in the middle of my manicure! It's not cheap and I had every intention of tipping. Just put a sour taste in my mouth. Again, the work was fine read more

Today was a good day. I was not rushed through. A great amount of time was spent with me. Everything was very well done. I'm glad I went back. read more

I got a gift certificate so I went to Aria to get a pedicure. Pedicures start at $35 and go up to $100. My appointment was at 12. I got there, picked a color, and was seated a little after 12. I went with clean already cut toenails. My pedicure was finished and I was seated to dry within 25 mins time. It was the quickest pedicure I have ever received. It felt more like a glorified polish change. I was extremely dissatisfied. In my opinion, The salon itself is beautiful inside! But, for the price, the pedicure should have been better, and lasted longer. The massage should have lasted longer. I went in thinking I'd buy my mom a gift card too for her up coming birthday but I would never even go back myself. read more

Very overpriced and not worth the money your paying I asked for acrylic with tip and I got gel with no tip that was 50$ way overpriced didn't get what I wanted or asked for went two days ago and already chipped read more

I have tried coming here multiple times because I live close but have never had a positive experience. Disclaimer: I am not very picky with my nails- just want a good mani, clean, & consistent shaping. First time gels PEELED OFF within 24 hrs. Another time my technician filed all my nails mindlessly & crooked, upon correcting filed them down to nothing. This week I had to micromanage because once again, the gentleman had shaped every nail differently, some had sharp points/angles, others curves, no nail was symetrical or matched each other. Additionally, I got the dip & walked out of the salon with my nails looking messy - tops are not smooth, had dip color all over my fingertips, & underneath the nail was a mess. I asked for this to be fixed but my technician did not understand me, & at that point I realized it was as good as I was going to get. I've had the dip done at other salons & loved it, but from here it is so thick & bulky on my nails that it is uncomfortable. If I don't adjust to the feel in another day I will return to a different salon to remove it. If you go here, read reviews & ask for someone people like. Do NOT recommend going & getting just anyone. I will not be returning here. read more

Three stars for the pedicure. Zero for the manicure. I have been getting services here for many years. The last 2 manicures have been bad. Rushed while the technician spends all the time watching and talking to other coworkers. I really want to like it here. Lovely services but the last two times my nails are awful. Two days post manicure with the up charged long lasting polish my nails are chipped and peeling. Unfortunately I will not be back. read more

Everyone here was friendly, they got me in right away on Sunday morning. They were patient with me as I was indecisive about the service I was going to get. I got the dip/powder service. I loved my tech as she seemed to be fast and consistent. I was able to use venmo to pay. However I noticed that she only did 2 layers vs the normal 3. I absolutely loved the color, but not even a week later my thumb nail chipped. I noticed the layer wasn't very thick. This service should have lasted 3 weeks and it barely lasted a week. Not sure why it didn't stick, but very disappointed with how much I spent only for it to fail. The store is very clean and seemed as if they get a lot of business, but because of the waste of money and how my nails turned out I will not be visiting again. read more

Went back in today and the manager was so nice. She fixed my nails and offered a new shellac manicure. All was good besides being rushed because she didn't really want to do it and just did a color change. All I asked for was a quick fix on my chipped nails (that weren't done right in the first place) I also didn't have 3 hours to kill while I was there and didn't enjoy how they talk about you and over you in Chinese. Update: went back and got my shellac filled Sunday. Monday 11am a whole nail peeled off! Absolutely annoyed to no end! read more

Nails & Spa ARIA - Horrendous! What a waste of money! - Day Spas Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

Best mani pedi experience... ever. In Wakefield, salons are a dime a dozen (seriously, there are two salons within a block of Aria), but none deliver the experience that Aria does. I've gone in a couple times, once for a gel mani and once yesterday for a mani/pedi with a friend of mine. Yesterday's experience was amazing. The salon was relaxing and clean and the whole evening I felt like I was being pampered. I just finished my first marathon, and had scheduled this as a treat to myself and it sure was. The massages, the parrafin wax and everything was just so luxurious... and I can't wait to go back. I moved out of Boston to Wakefield last year, and have been searching for that "perfect" salon to treat myself at. No other salons in Wakefield hold a candle to Aria... and I'm so glad they came to town. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. I will definitely be back, and this is now my go-to salon. read more

Nails & Spa ARIA - Pretty and fun manicure from Aria! - Day Spas Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

I got a classic manicure during my lunch hour. Although it costs $15 ($5 more than the salon by my house), it was worth it. It includes their house made cherry scrub, hot towel massage, hand massage, parrafin wax treatment, and hot stone back/neck massage. There was no wait and since it's a new place, they had a ton of colors and they weren't dried out! I had Hyoung do my nails and normally I get the cuticle taken off well but she didn't take much off at all and when I asked she said she pushes them back and takes off the excess so they don't grow back as quickly. I'll see how this method works. She was efficient and gave me a nice massage, I thoroughly enjoyed. The place is very pretty, large, and clean. There wasn't much parking but there is street parking out in front and around. I didn't see there was a waiting area with a Keurig for coffee/tea and water. I didn't use any spa services but they have a bunch of private rooms in the back. I will definitely be back, loved it! The color I have on is Alpine Snow from OPI and a gold glitter color I can't remember from Essie. read more

Hi Julianna, Thanks for your response. I read the Yelp reviews before making an appointment. The feedback was mixed so I decided I would experience Aria for myself. My friend and I were there on Friday, January 29th at 4p. The RSVP is under Joanne Darcy. My friend also experienced the same bad service and awful mani/pedi. Our polish started peeling that SAME evening! I' m attaching pictures if my friend's manicure. This is totally frustrating and a huge inconvenience. I hope you look into this and handle it appropriately. read more

Normally, I really enjoy my time here even though the massage can be quite quick. However, I recently got a regular manicure and not even a full day later, it began to majorly chip. I wait 25 minutes to dry and did nothing out of the ordinary with my hands, so there is no reason this should happen. Sometimes I do feel that they add polish remover to regular polish to weaken the hold as a punishment for not getting a more expensive service. Not sure what else could explain this. read more
