    Her second attempt of what I asked for.
    Lauren C.

    The owner is sweet as pie and does amazing work! Wish I would have originally went to her... Kendra- is a sweet girl, not as nearly skilled. The day of my appointment she was running 2 hours behind schedule. I ended up rescheduling to the next day... I asked for a design from the Instagram page, I assumed she could do the design since she told me she specializes in designs. Additionally, she agreed she could do it. My nails were uneven in length and not nearly as expected. I had to go back to get the design fixed. Still not pleased with the work. Two days later, my foundation stained my nails. Just overall disappointment.

    This is the oval shape I asked for but didn't get

    3/6/2020: Got here at 2:30pm with only two people ahead of me and four (4) nail techs working (all busy). Lily was my tech. Asked her for oval nails but ended up with almond nails (but whatever... nbd). She started doing my acrylics at 3:15pm and ditched me to do a pedicure for someone who walked in at 3pm. At 4:20pm I was still sitting there with "prepped" nails (ie. buffed w/ glues tips and unshaped) and asked to move out of my seat to give the lady who got a pedicure a gel manicure too. Lily was sweet and apologized then redirected me to her "boss", Dana. FYI... Dana is supposed to be the best nail tech there. Though she's like a less skillful Karen Pham (look her up... she's actually good) Dana completed my nails with air bubbles in them, poorly filed and poorly done ombré. I was charged $70 (and I tipped because I'm not that kind of person) for something mediocre that I could've had done elsewhere. I'll just go back to Couture nails in Harvard Square instead because they only charge about $60 for the same service and do a better overall job. Even though I have my own quips about that place too. I'd only come back if I wanted to waste 3+ hours of my time at a nail salon only to walk out with an overpriced/mediocre/rushed product. Do what you will with your time but this unfortunately doesn't work for me. Unless you're one of their favorites (yes, I noticed favoritism) you may not get what you're expecting. It's too bad because it's a black owned business near my home, which I would've loved to support on an ongoing basis. Only giving them 2 stars because there is potential for this business to be great with improvements. If I ever came back and got better service I might consider changing this review- not likely.

    Poor quality work they charged me extra for.

    Owner Dana pulled a price swap and my nails look horrible! My nail bed is showing as though my acrylic was on for a week and it's ONLY BEEN TWO DAYS SINCE SERVICE! The owner tacked an extra $15 on bill and couldn't justify it when I had already booked the service for extra design work. She claimed my booking said "subject to change." It does NOT. That's a lie and if I show you a photo prior to starting a pre-booked and pre-paid service, you have to ability to ask if I'm okay with a price adjustment. Her customer service is horrible. My nails look horrible. She's a greedy business owner who doesn't care about clients. This is the 3rd time I've gone here. Each time there's been a minor issue but this was too big to ignore. I tried to give them a chance, but they're inconsistent and rude.

    Just replaced these three

    The worst experience ever! So I discovered this place on yelp & it was right up my alley way being a black owned business & a two min walk from my house, I walked there to check it out, the receptionist/owner came running as I opened the door basically telling me I have to stay outside and talk to her, No biggie I guess it's probably for safety reasons but then she handed me a card & inform me that I have to book online .. In my head am like (am right here so why can't I do it) Came to find out that in order to make an appointment a deposit is required.. I wasn't in a rush to do em anyways so I waited & as soon as they posted that walk ins will resume I called still she told me I had to call the morning of which was the Saturday that I did.......... She said I was all set... So I stroll up there within an hour or so the lady once again saying it's by appointment, I informed her that I had made 1 she ask my name & I told her she had a whole different name but the phone number was there.... She goes oh you are next but we have to call you cause there is no waiting area during this time the wait will be like 25 to 30 mins it was well over an hour before they called... .... Am a make a long story short... She soaked my nails off & did a medium length which turned out nice & light it felt like nothing was on my fingers but I liked it despite the raw edges that I had to buff so I don't cut my skin up.. The total was 111 yep one hundred & eleven dollars I paid 121 with tip & went about my business... Three days later I lost a nail opening the car door.. It wasn't even one of the times where I hit the finger against anything it just snapped I hit up the nail tech & explained she replied the next morning asking when I'll be free I said am free today but if you're booked I will wait until the following week just tell me what works for you anytime before 2pm is good for me she said oh not today honey, I said OK tell me when, she said I will...... She stay posting all types of promo & ish so am like wth I've been walking around with 8 tips as another snapped while I was putting my gym attire on... I posted an emoji on 1 of her post & she hit me up like oh sorry about that can you come today.... I said sure she said 6pm totally ignoring the time spam I gave her... I showed up she fill em even took 1 off as it was on its way too... The replacement was horrible I ask her why they lookin half done she said its so they match up to the previous ones.. I was annoyed & over it so I tell her it's whatever she literally flung these on without a care then told me as I was leaving that I have to pay for the 2 broken nails giving it was only $12.. Won't be returning!

    My first time getting my nails done after moving to Boston was at Pink & Pretty. I love supporting black + female owned businesses. I've been seeing Arely for my nails and honestly nobody comes close to her execution. She always sees my vision and will add personal touches that make my nails look way better than imagined. Her precision is unmatched and my nails always last at least 4 weeks -- i've never come close to breaking or chipping my nails and my natural nails are still so healthy. I could keep going about how amazing she is and would definitely recommend the salon!!

    My wife loves this place! Can always get her in quick when needed too. Prices aren't bad for Boston as well.

    I've always hopped salons because I could never find someone who understood the vision of my nail ideas but that search has ended with Arely.

    I would say this was the worst Mani/Pedi experience of my life. Everything was fine till I noticed…read moreshe was putting after shave on my feet. I looked down after she said they were done and it had looked like she spilt the bottle of polish on my nails. The polish was all over my skin and it was a mess. I asked her to please fix it and she said no it looks better this way. I said once again please fix this; this is not what I asked for. She proceeded to take the dremel and burn my skin. Onto my mani.. once again horrible, paint all over my skin and some parts of my nails not even painted. she forgot to put clear coat on some of nails.. My fingers are all dry and flaking.. my fingers hurt to the touch and some of them are bleeding. It looks like a 4-year-old did this and she charged me 60$. I do not recommend going here at all. This place needs to be shut down.

    I went to Lisa nails salon and was treated badly. In all I paid $90 and got nastiness done, my…read morenails were infected the same night. Pedicure, she only spent 5 mins pedicure. My toe nails were not trim and paint were untidy. Her work is nasty and poorly done, althou she spoke to me nicely but she is racist with how she treated me as a customer. I had to go to another place and paid $50 to fix it. I call her and told her what she did and ahe ignore me and never refunded me..
