    My mom and I have been going here for years. I see Tom every time and he always does such a nice job on my gel manicure. Very professional clean atmosphere.

    Gel manicure no extra charge

    This is by far my favorite nail salon. I've only been in on weekdays and it's been great. They take me right away. Only complaint is the nail techs rotate. Meaning, someone will wrap your nails, someone will trim and clean them, and another will paint, etc. which is different. But, they do a wonderful job and I have tried many places in RI. A gel manicure is $30. They do not drill the polish off your nails, they file them down and soak them which is preferred. The only thing they charge extra for is nail art. See the snow flake nail art pic below. Worth it for the holidays! Very talented staff. They also give out gift bags and complimentary lotions when you buy a gift card during the holidays. I got a pedicure during the holidays and they gave me a pair of yoga socks and hand lotion!

    I was told dip nails were top of the line and would last longer than gel. 4 days after I got a dip powder manicure my nails started chipping and 4 nails popped off and it hasn't even been a week! Mind you this manicure is more expensive than gel. Will not be going back.

    Petrela Spa, Johnston, R.I - This is After the $40 for pedicure w/ callous removal. After complaining  they knocked off $10.

    This is an extremely strange nail salon. I went a handful of times trying to make it somehow work…read morebut the final deal breaker for me was when one of the employees harassed me unceasingly regarding my nail appointment upon my arrival. She asked if I had an appointment and I responded yes but she then proceeded to ask me several more times. I strongly suspect that it was my off-day attire that included a hoodie, baseball cap and mask that guided her non-stop barrage of questions. Understandably, I was extremely underdressed but so what, we're at a nail salon, am I required to wear my Sunday best? I can't understand the oddness of both the employees and customers of this salon. After sitting down awaiting my appointment, the customer that was being attended to by the "question asking" employee stared at me intensely. I noted that before embarking on her uncomfortable stare down, she was whispering with the employee. Of course I don't know what was said but whatever it was most certainly prompted the stare down. When my nail technician did finally appear, I guess he had overheard what transpired but elected not to chime in, informing his over zealous colleague that I did indeed have an appointment and I wasn't just sitting there awaiting the right moment to rob the place. In retrospect, I feel that if he had simply spoke up, that uncomfortable situation could have been avoided. Once he started doing my nails, he launched into this extremely awkward dialogue about how his colleague didn't recognize me and thought I was someone who wandered in off the street without an appointment. He also mentioned my attire and how they aren't accustomed to seeing me dressed that way. REALLY!!! It took me a while to fully grasp what I believe took place. I think this nail salon to be a place where only a certain type of people are welcome and anyone deemed different is not welcome and as if the staff were not unwelcoming enough, even the impolite customers who sit and stare unceasingly are odd and impolite. This is an unfriendly and unwelcoming place and I am not okay with their behavior. Not once during my handful of appointments was I even greeted when I walked in the door. On top of all of the above, they really aren't that skillful in the business of nails.

    I saw all the great reviews and decided to make an appointment. WORST IDEA EVER!! These are the…read moreugliest acrylic nails I've ever had. I am SO disappointed!!! I tried voicing my concerns to Paul as he was doing my nails, but he didn't want to LISTEN and just kept making excuses as to why they looked the way they looked. Nail techs are supposed to LISTEN and do their BEST to accommodate the customer's needs. I've never had a nail tech be so adamant in not wanting to listen to my concerns and just continue to do what he thinks looks good. I've never been so unhappy with my nails. I will not be returning and I can't wait for these to grow out.
