Best place for nails and wax Very skilled and kind on site owners take special care to exceed expectations Highly recommend read more

Excellent service at a reasonable price. As a male, I don't get a manicure often, but this is the place.

This salon is my "Go To"!!! You won' t regret trying them out. The nail technicians are great and lovely ti deal with. I have been going for a number of years, and always walk away pleased with their work. read more

Had my facial for the first time with Amy. Very professional and relaxing facial. The back/arm massage were an added plus. Will definitely go back. read more

An awesome no frills nail salon! Great prices, nice people and they always do an amazing job. Have been going there for 10+ years!

I hate to disagree with everyone else, but..... I checked the reviews and since I didn't have time to get to my regular place and was in Needham, I figured I would give it a try. While the woman was very nice, she was in a deep conversation with the person who had just gotten a pedicure next to me (obviously a regular), so maybe that is why I left with polish on my skin AND my big toe cut at a strange angle? Thankfully, we are towards the end of a cool Summer, so sandal season seems to be done. read more

Overall I had a mediocre experience. It's a hole-in-the-wall type of place and isn't very clean. No certifications were on display either. There is no music playing and the workers aren't particularly talkative, so we basically sat in silence. My friend had old gel polish removed and the man didn't use any tools- he scraped it off with his fingers. I didn't get the name of the woman helping me but I could tell she was trying hard to make my gel manicure look as good as possible. However, it just didn't really work. She started putting base coat on before clipping my nails, so I had to go out of my way to ask her to clip them. The tools they used were just sitting in a cup of blue liquid and didn't seem clean. Also, the UV machine that dries the gel (no idea what it's actually called) was very outdated and I had to put my whole hand in. It was basically a tanning bed. Even though this place is cheaper than other options in Wellesley ($25 for a gel manicure), I would rather pay the extra money for the quality. My friend is going to Mani Pedi tomorrow to get them re-done, which makes this a $75 manicure overall. Not worth it. read more

Popular Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Needham, Massachusetts

I had a great experience at Popular Nails with Cindy. They fitted me in quickly, we're extremely kind and did a perfect mani/pedi at a good price of $37. They would really welcome your business! read more

Amy and Duc have owned popular nails for years and are incredibly hard working, kind, and thoughtful. They do fantastic work and care about each and every client. Highly recommend! read more

I walked into Popular Nails for a quick manicure on my way home from work. I just got engaged and wanted my nails to look nicer when I show off the ring to friends this weekend. An older man was there when I walked in and said he and his wife had owned the nail salon for 27 years. His wife was in the other room giving another cluient I picked a color and sat down. He was very nice, but seemed to have trouble seeing my nails and his hands were shaking while he did the manicure. By the time he had finished I asked him to just take the polish off. He had barely trimmed my cuticles if at all and he had painted some of my nails halfway, and others all over the skin. I'm not sure if he does not normally do manicures, but this was an overall bad experience. I would not return. read more

The couple who own this place are really sweet and I really recommend this place. The prices are extremely reasonable and budget friendly

Popular nails is a special place. Duk and Amy are extremely warm and do a wonderful job. Amazing foot and hand massages. I always leave feeling relaxed and glad I chose their salon. read more

Great nail salon! I just moved to town and tried this place for a pedicure because of the great reviews. I was not disappointed. It was very clean and well ventilated. They carry popular nail polish brands in current color trends. The owner was extremely friendly. They do NOT skimp on foot/calf massage like some other places do. I will definitely be back! read more

Being honest I choose this place for the cheap prices. I've been there with a friend couple weeks ago to waxing. The place, even if don't look super good from outside, it's clean. The owner is super nice and friendly, she always tried to talk with me and do a good conversation. The waxing was sooo good, it was super quick and without a lot of pain. From now it's being my waxing salon! read more

I want to preface my review by saying this is by no means a reflection of the family who runs this shop. They are so sweet, friendly and nice. This however is not your typical nail salon and people should not be coming here expecting the experience another salon would deliver. The place is filthy and as another review shoes does not display any certifications. I didn't see a sanitization machine either. The massage for my pedicure was great but there was no scrubbing, washing or exfoliating of my legs and feet. THIS IS your grandmas nail salon. Great people but avoid nail services. read more

This place is great! The staff are very friendly and Amy does an excellent, stress-releasing calf massage! It's no-nonsense and quality service! read more

I tried Popular Nails with a girlfriend--we are both from out of town. We had a good experience. Good leg massage and good massage chairs. Not the neatest job on my toes. $25 for pedi. No credit cards accepted. I would rate this place 2 or 3 -- the folks were friendly and everyone who came into the place knew the owner and staff by name-Clearly there is a lot of return business. 2 stars because my toe nails are ok. I wish they looked sharper-I came here for a pedi and overall, I'm not happy with how it looks. The experience was fine overall. read more

I discovered Popular Nails at the end of last year and haven't gone anywhere else since. Tuk (spelling?) and Amy are wonderful and as a previous review stated, they are incredibly personable and always greet you with a warm smile and remember your name as well as the last conversation you had! They are easy to talk to and do a fabulous job! Amy does my eyebrows and Tuk my nails and they are both incredibly meticulous in their work which results in great quality. And not to mention the nail polish job lasts for almost two weeks at only $12 a manicure!!! It is not a fancy shmancy salon but rather a warm and loving one. I highly recommend it to my friends and anyone who is looking to get a quality mani/pedi/wax. read more

One of the best pedicures in the Boston area is right here in Needham. The foot massage is an added bonus and outstanding! Hands down the place to go for a relaxing and excellent pedicure experience. I have also had a reflexology treatment here from Cindy. It was as good as any I have had anywhere - and an outstanding value. I wouldn't miss an opportunity to visit Popular Nails! read more

Amy is awesome. She's attentive and very easy going. Last time I was there for a french pedicure, my upper back was very tight. The massage chair really helped in loosen up some of my knots in the back during the pedicure session. After a job well done, she said to me that there's no need to rush out of the chair because the chair isn't needed yet and please continue to enjoy the massage. Wow!!! She read what I need and graciously offered more without extra charge. That's what I call extraordinary customer service. read more

I'm not from Needham, but was in town for an appointment and had some time, so decided to stop in for a pedicure. I noticed the husband's shaking hands as mentioned in another review right away, but wasn't too concerned because 1) the woman he was waiting on seemed to be a regular based on they way they were chatting and 2) the wife was finishing up with another customer and indicated that she would take me in "three minutes". So I sat on the futon waiting as she directed. The client she was waiting on was done and sitting on the futon next to me, and the owner was literally just hanging around chatting with her. The longer I sat there being completely ignored and looking at the dusty second hand furniture all around me, the more frustrated I got. After 15 minutes had passed, I got up and left. The only reason for the second star is that both of the customers I saw were clearly regulars, so they must be doing something right in this shop-However, I won't be back! read more

Excellent manicures and pedicures at low price. The massage you get with these is super. I also have waxing done. Amy uses high quality wax which does not irritate my skin. The atmosphere in the shop is welcoming and I look forward to my weekly appointment. read more

I love this place. I have only been twice but both times have been fantastic. They fixed my last job really well and have never had much of a wait. They do a really nice eyebrow wax as well. This will be my new go-to in Needham for nails and waxing. read more

This place is really great. Cheap prices, and although I'm not good at small talk, the couple there put me at ease as they were really friendly and good at small talk. The work that they do there is really good, too! read more

Hardest working couple in the nail business. Love them. Best leg massages. Great value. Always try to fit me in. They've earned my loyalty. I consider them friends. read more

I have never received such a personal service in a salon. The owners made me feel so comfortable, they remembered my name and what we talked about next time I came in. People seem to be bringing family and friends and everybody knows everybody. So different from other salons! And by the way they do a great job with manicures and pedicures and prices are very inexpensive. read more

My pedicurist was very nice and gave me a good foot massage. Unfortunately, she also gave me the worst pedicure I've ever had: My nails are cut at uneven lengths, the corners aren't trimmed, and I have polish all over my cuticles. When I asked the pedicurist to clean things up a bit, she dabbed at the polish around one nail and then said, "This color is hard to take off!" The finished job looked bad enough that she offered me a $5 discount (without my asking), but $5 isn't going to make my mangled toenails grow back any faster. Note: They accept cash or check only. read more

They deserve 11 stars!! For starters, if you call them the day you want a service, they will do the best they can to fit you in going as far as staying open late if needed (they did this for me once when I got stuck in a rain storm on my way there). The owners always make you feel welcome- it's like Cheers- they remember your name and greet you with it when you walk in. The pedicures and facials are awesome. You're so relaxed by the end that you feel like jelly as you try to stand up. I've also been getting my eyebrows waxed with Amy- she is the very, very best. She mentioned once that she studied art and it shows. She wasn't trying to brag, but she should be- my eyebrows looked perfect! I won't go anywhere else. I also like that she uses real beeswax- it doesn't get scalding hot and doesn't cause any allergic reactions (and it smells good). She's also super meticulous and doesn't leave you with thin line eyebrows (like they do at crappy places). I can't say enough wonderful things about them. Oh, I should mention this- if you're looking for some fancy, shmanzy spa where you get a glass of champagne while you're waiting in your fluffy robe, forget it- this is not that place. What you will get is an amazing couple who want you to have a great experience and will do whatever it takes for you to walk out with a giant smile on your face (oh, and sometimes they have cookies). read more
