Went in today and has such an amazing experience. I came in a bit early (Sunday) and it wasn't too busy because they had just opened. I was seated quickly in my chair for a pedicure and introduced to my nail technician. I didn't get his name (which I'm so upset about) but he was really sweet and professional. He took his time with everything he did, from filing my nails to my amazing massage. I almost fell asleep in my Chair, I was so relaxed. When he gave me my total I was shocked, $25 for one of the best if not the best pedicures I've ever had. This all included a paraffin treatment, and amazing ten minute massage. I didn't feel rushed in and out like every other nail salon I've been to. Will definitely be back. read more

I'm here visiting from CA & have had UV Gel nails done many times there...yesterday, I went in with my aunt & had a full set pull done by MONICA. S she did the best job I have ever seen or had done in my life! BEAUTIFUL JOB MONICA THANK YOU! read more

Rude service: Asked to have my nails removed and she said I can't take you. Never return ans reviews look awful anyhow.

Love this place. I've been coming here for probably more than two years now. I always make my appointments with Bima. My gel manicures always hold up for 2-3 weeks without chipping. & if you haven't come here for a pedicure, please treat yourself to one. My favorite part every time is the massages, regular pedi includes hot stone massage...& I love and very much appreciate the back/neck/shoulder massages they give while your nails dry. Always a good experience here :) read more

Update: I loved coming here. James is my go to guy but lately he has no time when I am off. So I have had to use other women. Definitely not the same quality. My gel nails have broken off chips in polish. I had one repaired but now it's so much shorter than the rest it looks awful. The polish is lumpy. James cleans out the backside too so it has a nice clean look. The woman use the stone and take off your cuticles. I don't think I will be coming back. So disappointed. read more

Went in for a manicure before my wedding day and they took a drill to my cuticles. I started bleeding on multiple fingers and told them it hurt. The technician seemed unfazed and kept putting powder on my finger to stop the bleeding and continued to use the drill. My nail beds are now red and puffy with scabs. I'm making a doctors appointment to make sure I don't get an infection before my honeymoon. My experience with my pedicure went well. The technician was very nice and I am happy with my toenails. read more

Simply Nail & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Branford, Connecticut

My daughter and I have moved to Branford recently. I chose this place because I read all the great reviews. I will not go again. I wanted a gell polish. They kept insisting that my nails were acrylic, they are my nails. My daughter wanted a simple design. He told her he didn't do designs and didn't ask someone else to do them. So she asked if she could have two colors on each nail, he said no. She got acrylics and a solid color. He used the electric file on my natural nail and thinned it out. Whenever I asked him a question, he looked confused at me. I'm not sure if he can speak English as he tapped when he wanted my hands. He never spoke a word to me. Also, I waited an hour with my nails in remover. They started d oing my nails AFTER my daughter. 1 1/2 hours later. Prices were great, but you get what you pay for. read more

Loved my pedicure, they did a good job- just be careful about the pricing. I was told several different prices- first $70 for a gel French, then I looked online and the base price of a pedicure was $27, they upcharge $5 for gel and another $5 for French gel- which should have been $37... then I got a price of $50.. when I said that still didn't make sense they said there was a $20 upcharge for a French gel pedicure... which made even less sense and still didn't add up to $50 sooooo not sure what was going on there. Other than that, they took me right away and did a great job. read more

Waited 20 minutes for appt. They didn't try to take us in until after we started leaving. We just walked out and went down the street.

Great first visit! Everyone in my group was happy with their mani/pedis, nail technicians' service, friendliness, and cleanliness. We booked appointments day before, arrived on time, and they were ready with the foot spas lined with plastic, tools sterilized, and each station was organized and clean. Salon has a lot of natural daylight and feels very open, relaxed, and the people who work there were very chill. I got pedi with regular nail polish. The massage and hot stones were awesome my heels are *brand new*! My nail tech was very careful filing and polishing, sensitive of cuticles and water temp and all around really great. Will definitely go back. If you have a group of friends, I recommend this place - they were very timely and we all got done around the same time, a plus! read more

Very expensive. Manicure chipped almost immediately. I would not return unfortunately

So disappointing. This used to be my go to nail salon. I went for a dip powder manicure and a pedicure. My pedicure was fine. My nails on the other hand, awful. It took them over 45 mins to get off my previous gel polish that had been on for over 3 weeks from a different nail salon. Then told me I had to tell them I have dip powder on when I get my pedicure which I totally understand. I've never had dip powder so thin before. And my square nails were so pointy that I kept scratching myself. Almost no shaping done. It's now less than a week later and my entire thumb nail of dip powder is completely off. And 3 other nails have chipped and I've had to file them which is now ruining the shape of my nails. I will never be coming back here. read more

The woman who did my pedicure did a terrible, messy job. She kept getting the polish on the skin around my toes, and then insisted that the leftover polish would wash off the in shower. I've never had that happen at any other salon before. I came in for a mani/pedi and left after the pedi because it was so terrible. No apology or anything from the woman or the manager. Terrible place. Go to Creative Nails down the street -- they are so much better and way nicer. read more

My girlfriends and I came here before my wedding to get our nails done and for a little relax time. Clean, friendly, perfectionists. They DO use liners in the pedicure tubs, which is a huge plus for me as I can sometimes be described as a germophobe. Our nails all came out excellent and the shoulder massage during dry time was a welcome surprise! I'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

This used to be my go to salon but then started going elsewhere. I remember them doing great pedicures so I made an appointment for 12:30. The lady told me to sit in the pedicure chair and wait. I waited until 1pm until someone finally came JUST TO TURN THE WATER ON FOR MY FEET TO SOAK. I waited another 10 minutes for someone to start my pedicure. I understand that sometimes you get off schedule but I was waiting 40 minutes and not one single time was I issued an apology or acknowledged. I literally waited 30 min to be able to soak my feet. I will not be coming here again. The pedicure wasn't bad though read more

There are many nail salons in Branford, and hands down - this one's the best. The staff is lovely and unlike a number of other "nail stores" (as I like to call them), you aren't bombarded with upsells and the staff is respectful and really nice. As a bonus, they also don't engage in all sorts of banter in a language other than English (always a pet peeve because I think it's rude to ignore your customer). As to the quality of the service - it can't be beat. The prices are moderate and the pedi will last you for weeks. They also didn't blink when my boyfriend came in with me for a couples pedicure - and he liked his first experience so much, that he suggested we do this monthly! Simply Nail & Spa offers an extensive menu of services and the staff will always work to fit you in. If you're in the area (or even if you aren't) give them a try! read more

So pleasantly surprised! Great manicure, super reasonable prices, friendly staff. Got the paraffin treatment as part of a regular mani that came out to $13. Will definitely be back. read more

I'm not a reviewer but as a loyal customer I thought I'd give kudos to the Simply Nails girls. I'm picky and indecisive and they are always kind and patient. They move quickly but very detailed oriented, treating each customer and myself with respect and valuing their experience. I never venture out because of the service, color selection (plentiful), and good pricing of this spot. Never have left I unsatisfied. Recommend!! read more

Everything about this appointment was great! They were friendly and fast and my nails looked great. Shape and thickness I wanted without ever having to say it. It got awkward when I asked if I could test two different shades of lavender and was told no. Just flat out no I couldn't test them on my nail. Just pick a color and go with it. Aside from that, the appointment was great, and I do love the result. read more

This is one of the best pedicures I have ever had! It was very relaxing, my huge callouses are gone and the nails look great! As an added bonus, I also got a neck and shoulders massage when she walked me to the drying area! I definitely recommend this place! read more

Came in last week on my birthday randomly to get my nails done. Clean facility and friendly workers. Place is pretty large and I feel like there is kind of a bit of dead space, but my nails came out great! read more

I live within a five mile radius of about a dozen nail salons, but I drive 40 minutes each way to get my nails done at Simply Nail & Spa because no one does a gel manicure better. At first, I thought it was a fluke. Other places have done a good job once, and then declined each subsequent time. That's not the case with Simply Nail. They are SIMPLY the best. Every time I go, no matter who I see, my nails are always perfect. They last about 2.5 weeks with minimal chipping (typically the chips are on my dominant hand - my non-dominant hand holds up the entire time). I cannot recommend them enough, and wish I could give them infinite stars! read more

First time there and this chick Patty did my pedicure. It was supposed to be one with hot stones. She used the stones on each foot and leg for barely a minute. As she was doing my pedicure, she clipped skin from the side of my big toe. I looked down because I felt a pinch, and she was pulling a piece of skin that was the length of my toenail! 4 days later and my toe is red, swollen and infected! Also, the 10 minute shoulder massage they're supposed to give you lasted about a minute. Very disappointing and I would not recommend this place! read more

I have been here twice now for pedicures and both times have found the nail technicians to be very detail-oriented and careful. The whole environment is friendly, quiet and relaxing. The space is large and airy so the fumes are not strong. Definitely recommend! read more

They are really good! Got a refill, and I live in Massachusetts, but I was in the area. Very happy with this place.

I had never been here before but a friend recommended. I couldn't understand the lady when she was giving me information because of her accent and she seemed very frustrated with me. Once I picked what I wanted I sat down, put my headphones on and relaxed. That was until what I can only describe as a burn/electrocution feeling came over my right hand and arm. I pulled it out of the gel drying machine and the guy LAUGHED and point to my headphones saying he wasn't able to communicate with me bc they were on and then motioned my hand to quickly go in and then pull my hand out right away. The feeling in my arm was one I will never forget. It was so painful that if I wasn't halfway through the process I would have walked out. The complimentary chair massage was about 2 mins and when I left no on even acknowledged me. Don't give them your business. read more

I love this place. Went there for mani and pedi, very professional service form Sue, easy to talk to. She was able to accommodate my request of changing seat coz I wanted to watch TV. very friendly. the place is open and very clean. Loved that back massage that was included with manicure. And don't worry about the prices, they are very reasonable. read more

Just had a gel manicure with Michael . He is the absolute best! He takes his time and actually cuts cuticles ! Also, free parafin hand dip . Go see Michael I cannot even give any more compliments and I've tried so many places in branford area. Also very clean and great massage come with service read more

Very good $35 - very clean - a bit pricier than others. You get tons more for money. Try the basic and see what $30 buys!

Love coming here, great price, clean, friendly staff! You have to make an appointment though, if you don't want to wait. This place is always busy. They do gel nails instead of acrylic, but they don't dip you hand in the gel base. They do it the same way they would do acrylics. So your nails will not break easily. I LOVE that! read more

I love the staff and they do an amazing job but it's takes sooo long! It took 2 hours and 15 minutes for a pedicure, gel manicure and eye brow wax. Make sure you have ample time to get your nails done before you come here! read more

I came here for a pedicure and it was one of the best if not the best I've ever had. It was only $25 and it included hot wax and a long foot and leg massage. It felt more like a spa pedicure than a regular. I was very pleased and will be glad to make the trip to come back! read more

I got a pedicure here. They have a large and clean facility and provide a decent pedicure for around $25.

This is our first time here and we will be back. We are from Texas and in Texas there are nail salons on every corner so it is very competitive. Everyone here was very friendly and the work done was excellent. I I had the Spa pedicure. My daughter had the same pedicure and nails. Very clean salon. Like I said...we will definitely be back. We have found our salon in Connecticut!! read more

I love it here! Great atmosphere and the women are very friendly. They go above and beyond for their customers. They include a short massage and wax dip for manicures, gel, etc. which a lot of places don't include ! They are usually busy but it is worth the wait! My nails and eyebrows always come out perfect. read more

Very clean and they do alright with the painting...but you'll have to wait hours. It was 3hrs for my mani/pedi. Also, be prepared to have multiple people tending to you, most of them DO NOT speak English. I would not got back...or recommend this place. Tried it twice and it failed both times. read more
