I'm still a traditional polish gal (no gel or dip for me), but they do it all here! I usually bring my own polish, but they also have great in-house options including standbys like OPI as well as a niche brand or two, including the quick-drying vegan brand Dazzle Dry (a $10 add-on, but this stuff really does last). You'll never feel rushed here; when you arrive you'll be asked if you'd like a coffee, tea, or glass of bubbly. Every aesthetician here I've worked with has done an amazingly thorough clean-up job along with exfoliating and massage, and in particular everyone does an amazing job with my nail tips to the extent that I usually get a week's wear on my nails, which I keep pretty short and bang around on the regular. Practicalities: you'll want to make an appointment--they do book up, and chancing it on a walk-in might not be an option. And parking on the street and in the lot across the street is metered and it's close enough to the Port to be monitored, so don't skip paying up.

This rating goes 100% to Tony! Moving to Maine over 5 years ago and missing my stylist from Philly,…read moreI was lucky to find Tony almost a year later. He's a really sweet person, easy to talk to and I even consider him a friend now. I don't really know the other stylists there because I'm usually booked when he's at the salon by himself. Which I love, as an introvert, to chat away and catch up on life. I do miss the old location where I was able to get a mani/pedi at the same time. Efficiency! :)

Front desk staff is always very warm and welcoming. This review, though, is about Zira, a Senior Colorist at Akari.

As a colorist Zira is warm, upbeat and patient, she is open to feedback, and in fact asks for it, and she's always fun to talk with!

One that included a massage, a facial, a manicure and pedicure and a wash and blow dryer so that I could enjoy my evening out. That is exactly what Akari had in store for me. I was a little hesitant because the reviews were kind of a mixed bag. But my spa day was 100% amazing. From the moment I walked in to my massage and the manicure may have been the best manicure I've ever had. The lunch was not served to me in a bag, but put on a beautiful tray with real utensils and served to me like I was a valued customer. Everyone was so kind and I'm hoping to return with my daughter for a special day before she gets married. Thanks for making my birthday very memorable.
