This is my go to nail salon in Boston! I usually get a gel manicure but have gotten pedicures and regular manicures in the past. The ladies who work here are very nice and very good at what they do! Booking an appointment is pretty easy on their website or by calling the store directly. A gel manicure costs $39 without tip which is pretty reasonable for the area. The salon is located in Brookline and the space inside is very nice and clean. read more

Nails Connection - My most recent gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

I have had pedicures here before without incident but this morning I had a very unpleasant experience. Technician was unfriendly, nicked my toes twice so they bled, and could not seem to provide a shiny buff to my toes instead of nail polish. Will never return!!!! read more

The women at this shop put gloopy polish on my nails, so thick it was dripping off, and refused to redo it. The shop was not busy so they had the time, and they had the whole team inspecting my toes. It is overpriced and rude. Nails connection? More like nails detention. They have a sign that says "life is not perfect but your nails can be" -- they need to follow their own advice. read more

Nails Connection - A PERFECT gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Went on a whim since it's right down the street from where I work and WOW. This is the first nail salon that I've been to in my almost 8 years of living in Boston that I have left feeling thrilled with the results! The nail techs are also so sweet, and thorough! Amy was constantly checking in with me to make sure I was happy with how my nails were turning out. While it is quite pricey, they are completely transparent about what you will be charged at the beginning of your appointment and in my opinion, it's absolutely worth it for the service and quality. Definitely going to be a go to for me from now on :) read more

Was able to get a last minute dip appointment and Lisa did not disappoint. She was able to give me a proper shape on my short nails. Great, calm atmosphere. Thank you Ladies read more

I came in to have a dip power removed and then just a plain manicure with no polish. The staff was nice and professional. Rather than taking the time to allow all the product to soak off they scarped my nails with a nail file making weaker and more damaged. Then the manicure was rushed and not great. I was charged $25 to remove the dip , then $18 for the manicure. I tipped 20% so total was $56. I'm more than willing to pay for services but I felt they overcharged and then did sloppy job. I won't be coming back. read more

The salon is under new management. Again. I called to make an appointment with Lan and was told she was on vacation and would be back in a month. Then they asked if I wanted to make an appointment with someone else. Sleazy move, Nails Connection. Lan is actually working at Q Spa in Dedham. Shame on you! read more

This is a great nail salon ever. I just moved to Brookline couple week ago, and my friend recommended for me to come here. I did combo for my nails and toes.

I absolutely loved it here. I was greeted by two lovely ladies when I walked in and asked to pick a color (immense collection of polishes, by the way). After finding a color, I sat in the chair and began to relax. The young lady doing my nails asked me if I wanted my nails cut down and/or filed, I gave her my response and the experience began. She was fabulous with my nails, paying great attention to each one, instead of conversing with me (thank goodness). I like to get my nails done in silence and she totally picked up on that. The pedicure took about an hour and afterwards, I was brought to her table to begin my nails. Ta-da! There was a cold water waiting there for me and lollipops at the dryer station (I did not notice on my way in)! I was super stoked as I was terribly thirsty and when I asked if I could have the water, the young lady responded, "of course, that's for you." That's when I was sold! Not only did she do a fabulous job with my nails but it only cost me $34 (excluding tip). I walked in at 2:10pm Friday afternoon and left at 3:50. I loved my experience and I would recommend this salon to anyone looking for a place to go to! read more

Great customer service and always a good experience. Very friendly staff as well!! I always feel so relaxed and welcomed every time I come.

My 3 day old gel manicure I got has started to peel off in large chunks, which is what's finally driven me to write a review. The manicure experience was so rough I have cuts in multiple places, and one of my cuticles looks like it's becoming infected. Also, she cut my nails so short, for no reason. They were all the same length, nicely cared for and just needed a trim. Yeesh now I have short stubby nails with peeling polish. Onto the pedicure - while the polish isn't peeling and looks nice, the experience itself was kind of miserable. The water was cold, when I asked for warmer water I was ignored. My sister and I were ordered around by crabby manicurists and the whole thing was a bummer. $70 we each paid for gel manicure and pedicure, and we left feeling stressed out. It's rare that my sister and I get to spend time together - is it that hard to be pleasant? In retrospect I wish we'd bought $140 in cookies. That would have been a much nicer experience. read more

So happy I came here ! This is a great clean salon with great prices. Lan works here now ( I've been going to lan for years at another salon) and she's fantastic ! I wouldn't go to anyone else , she's a perfectionist and always makes sure I leave happy . Definitely check it out you won't be disappointed. read more

I have been coming here lately to get my nails done because I discovered there was a FREE parking lot in the back of the building (shared with the laundromat and hair salon next door). I've visited 3 times now for gel mani and regular pedi, and have had pleasant experiences every time. It was always busy no matter what day/time I went for walk-ins, but luckily, the turn-over was pretty fast because they had enough staff working. The facility was clean and bright, with 4 pedi massage chairs and 5 mani stations. They had a large polish selection for both regular and gel, even newer lines like OPI Alice Through the Looking Glass and Essie Spring 2016 collections. Service and appearance were professional. The technicians all wore aprons and name tags. They always greeted me with a smile and checked with me on my preferred nail shape and if I wanted my nails cut or filed - you'd be surprised by how many other salons I've been to where they don't ask these basic questions. The staff were not into small talk, which some customers prefer, because they're very focused on the job. Other notes: - If you are in a rush and don't mind getting your mani & pedi at the same time, they will gladly do that, provided there are enough technicians available of course. - They accept credit card payment for services $15 and up. As with most salons, gratuity must be paid in cash. - They have special promotions like: free paraffin with gel mani and buy 12 manis, get 1 free deal. Next time, I'm going to try the nail designs - the sample designs looked so pretty! read more

Adam is the BEST!!! I'm very particular about my nail techs. He's awesome! Very patience and professional. The work was perfect and I will definitely go back soon! Also, Lan for waxing!! The job was done quickly and pain free. Hope they're there for a while cause I really want to go there regularly! read more

Great gel manicure. Would definitely come back! Phoebe is the best!!! Good customer service, lots of color options, and overall nice atmosphere. read more

I came in for a fill today. The women there were nice and all but my nails came out awful. In the process of filing them with the drill they cut me three times, it was very painful. The thickness is all off, some are very thick and some are very thin. Same for the width, at the base the acrylic is very wide, which looks silly with my stiletto tip. I think she just gave up trying to shape the part of the nail by the cuticle so I have acrylic in the bed of my nail. It was $20, the place that I usually go to in Cambridge is $16 and they do a much better job. I won't be coming back, better just to stick with the person who I know won't cut my cuticles and does a great job. read more

Nails Connection - When I camey nails were the shape and width of the silver nail. Now they are all different. :/ - Nail Salons Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

My mother and I had a great experience at Nails Connection. Our Nail Techs were gentle, continually asked if everything was ok and if we liked our nails at the end. A great free add-on was the paraffin wax following our gel manicures. read more

I enjoy coming here regularly for a gel manicure. I'd say in general the younger technicians do the best manicures, and Adam, the young man, is the absolute best. But you can't go wrong! I enjoy the paraffin after the gel manicure. Their prices can't be beat. And you can walk in at any time and they fit you in! read more

It was what I needed it to be... I needed a last minute mani/pedi and this was close to work with almost no wait. Not the best mani/pedi ever, but the price was decent ($30 for both) and there's fresh polish on my nails. Bonus - The lady who took care of me was also very nice and personable. I will almost definitely go back. read more

I go here more than I go anywhere else. That said, it has it's ups and downs. First, it IS OPEN ON SUNDAY. Some internet source said it was closed and it is in fact open. Which brings me to a con: they don't answer their phone or have hours on a recorded message. Pros: - They do a pretty good manicure. - The place is clean. - The people are friendly. - It's $12 for a manicure. - I like that it appears to be female owned and managed. There are a few salons nearby where it seems like a domineering man runs the place and I don't like the vibe. Cons: - The woman with short hair (wish I knew her name) is aggressive and has cut my cuticles on multiple occasions. Each time she has wiped the blood away with her finger! To me, that's insane and frankly should probably be a deal breaker for me and this place. - It smells like chemicals about half the time. I'm sure that's a function of whatever other processes they're doing but they could use a better ventilation system. read more
