Got a French gel manicure and was very impressed with how it turned out. It's been two weeks and my nails have not chipped !

Worth the $100. I got an acrylic full set, designs on all nails, & a pedicure. The woman who did my set & pedicure was fast but did really well & I had a younger guy do the design. He nailed it! (No pun intended & I needed them shorter than the reference pic). I gave him a picture & he copied it perfectly. The only problem I have with this place is hygiene. They don't use a liner for the foot tub & the tools don't seem the most sterile.

This was done by the owner, who was very quick and meticulous. Hurt a little when she was doing my cuticles though.

This place is a hit or miss. I work with Susan (haven't been back here in awhile, so I'm not sure if she's there). I think it depends who your nail technician is. Numerous times I've got my cuticles cut too much (to the point of bleeding), wrong shape, or have been dissatisfied with my nails, but every time Susan does my nails I'm happy. They don't have A/C in the summer so it can get hot. Also you can use Venmo with some of the workers (not sure if it's available for everyone). Also, even if you make an appointment ahead of time they don't take that into much consideration and you're stuck waiting, so my tip is to try going weekday before 3-4PM.

I decided that I wanted to get my nails done very last minute one evening..and by last minute, I mean 15 minutes before the salon was supposed to close. I called to see if there was any way they could squeeze me in, and Susie picked up the phone. She was very pleasant despite me calling annoyingly last minute. She told me that it was perfectly fine that I come in even though I didn't have an appointment and I would arrive right when they close. She even warned me there would be a slight wait because there were a few customers there already. When I arrived to the salon, I had a short wait. The employees there tagged teamed my fill, so that I wasn't waiting the entire time with nothing to do. Susie was my main technician. She was fantastic! She didn't rush the process at all even though I'm sure she probably wanted to go home after a long day. She checked in periodically to make sure I liked the job she was doing and was attentive to my wishes. She was even patient when I was struggling to decide between two colors. Technical-wise, she was an expert with the drill, moving quickly/efficiently but not once nicking my skin or making a mistake. I walked out of the salon a very happy customer after being nervous that I would surely be in for a rushed job. And as I walked out, another customer walked in! Flexible as ever, Susie and her co-worker told the woman that they would do her manicure, pedicure, AND brow waxing that evening. Tl;dr Overall, quality service, hard-working staff and my nails turned out beautifully. A true value for the small cost they charge. My nails look even better than when I first got them done. I will definitely be coming here again!

Got a full set on New Years. Not sure what the nail technician name was but he did a terrible job. I paid $60 total 50 for the acrylic full set that's including gel with medium to long nails and I tipped $10 , When I left I was originally happy with the outcome but when I got home I noticed the nails were on the thinner side and the shape wasn't the best coffin , for paying 60 you can definitely say I got played . On the third day a nail broke and by the end of the week I had lost about 4 nails. I've been getting my nails done since I was 16 26 now and I've had longer nails that have lasted me longer will not be returning here for my full sets. Take your money else where and support a local nail technician

So my coworker recommended this place since it's close to the job and she goes there. I called ahead.. 1st sign that things would end badly. I was told "sure come at 5", but no one asked my name, the service, my number anything, so of course i get there and it's a wait time, i wait like 30 minutes in these horribly sunken waiting chairs. So i had previous gel nails, I've always been wrapped for removal.. they sit you in acetone and proceed to scrape your nails, so of course they damaged my natural nail. And i was looking at them mortified, probably why the lady said i can fix it for you.. you don't have to fix what you don't destroy. So she then proceeds to do my pedicure, which was the quickest in my life, while i sit in the chair that is broken on recline and has no massage feature because it's broken. Then they proceed to start my gel nails, the worst rushed and uneven job ever. So the total was 60 bucks, and they were only accepting cash this day, so i Venmo the owner.. and then she ask am i going to tip.. like are you kidding me.. tip for crusty feet, uneven nail polish, Damaged nails underneath, and super rush job.. literally the worst spa experience ever!!

Okay, when I left the nail salon, I told my friends it was the worst manicure I'd ever had. They squeezed me in before an appointment (which was nice) but this lady was FLYING. It was complete and utter mayhem! I had no idea how many coats each finger got and she was doing like 2 and three at a time. BUT its now been over a week and I've only been able to pick off two nails. I'm the kind of person where if one nail goes, they all have to go and I can usually pick off a good manicure in under a week but I straight up cannot get the other nails off!! This is THE BEST a manicure has ever looked and the longest one has ever lasted for me. I will no longer go anywhere else. I've also never gotten more compliments on a color before.

What a great experience top to bottom…read more I was in town for less than 24 hours for a wedding. I quickly and easily booked a hair and makeup appointment online two days before I arrived. First win. Then I woke up to an email from the airline saying the flight was delayed an hour. Then another two hours. I called and left a voicemail as soon as I could before they were open. I told them I would probably miss both appointments if they kept delaying my flight. When it was confirmed that we would indeed take off I called them back to let them know I could probably make the makeup appointment if they could push it back and find a friend from the wedding to take my hair appointment. The lady at the front desk was super understanding and happy to switch out another wedding guest to take my place for a blow out. I made it in time to get my makeup done by Liza. She was so sweet and so professional. I only wear foundation and have lash extensions. I don't know how to put on eye makeup. I had a bright blue dress and she put in pops of blue. It was so fun and I felt fabulous! The customer service, understanding of my travel delays and final product were all so amazing. I'd come back in a heartbeat next time I have a wedding in Boston!

I received a hair cut that was botched. I called the day (Thursday) after my appointment to speak…read morewith a manager or owner and was told I'd hear back on Saturday. I did not hear back and I called again on Wednesday and was old again that she was not available. I have yet to hear back, and when I called I was told I could only email her. Which I specifically said I would rather speak with someone on the phone because there were multiple concerns with the appointment. When I was explaining how I was not available to speak another time this week because I work 12 hour days they hung up on me. I would not recommend getting your haircut here. I spent 160.00 (not including any gratuity I left) and then another 100.00 to have to get my hair fixed

Terrible Experience--Avoid at All Costs! If you want a…read moreprofessional, look in the exact opposite direction. This was hands-down the worst service experience of my life. I booked a week in advance for a red carpet event, but instead of professional work, I got absolute incompetence and utter disrespect. She spent over an hour fumbling through my makeup while I literally had to instruct her step-by-step. She didn't even know how to do eyeliner, forcing me into an awkward, flat-on-my-back position just to attempt it, and then completely skipped my lips. When it came to my hair, she wasted 45 minutes making rude, judgmental comments and blamed me for sending a blonde reference photo a week prior--even though she had given it a thumbs-up and never asked for changes. After dragging the appointment past the two-hour mark (well over her promised 1.5-hour maximum), I had to finish my own lipstick in a rush and leave for my event with my lips undone. She overcharges, lies, lacks basic skills, and treats clients like garbage. Do not waste your hard-earned money here. Negative 100/10.

Very overpriced with no prices posted. She does an ok job, but what I found out from my stylist in…read morePhilly is that she used to wash people's hair at a downtown salon, never really got trained and now runs this ultra expensive business? Not cool.

Green Room Boston and Jessica are, hands down, the best! I've been to stylists all over (New York,…read moreChicago, Boston, etc.) and have yet to meet anyone that even compares to Jessica. She is truly a master of her craft and on top of that, a genuine person. What makes Jessica unique and ultimately, the best, is her ability to actually listen to what her clients want. For the first few appointments, Jessica asked me to show her images of hair I liked and then she really pressed me to detail exactly what it was I liked about the images (darker roots, length, layering, highlights, overall color, etc.). After only a couple of these conversations, I realized that for years I was describing to hair stylist something that was entirely different than what I actually wanted. With Jessica, going through these images and having these discussions helped us to be on the same page about what I wanted my hair to look like both in the moment as well as in the future. Using this information, she created a customized plan and timeline for me; the result is that today my hair is longer and healthier than ever with a color that I absolutely adore. Her skills as a stylist are further complemented by the exceptional level of service that she provides. Jessica is always on time and clear about pricing. She confirms appointments a week in advance and always offers flexibility if you need to reschedule; it's not uncommon for her to come in early or stay late to accommodate a client. She develops long-term relationships with her clients and gets to know them on a personal level so that she can tailor both the service and overall experience to each individual. Jessica is expensive, but I believe you get what you pay for. In this instance, superior haircare services in an exclusive single chair salon with a creative and thoughtful stylist.
