I have been going here for over a year now for eyebrow wax, manicure and pedicures. Sophia, the owner, is wonderful. She goes out of her way to make her clients feel special. I never leave here disappointed. read more

Going to T Spa is one of my favorite guilty pleasures, especially when Tracy does the work. We chat and laugh and share life stories, and it doesn't just make the time go faster, it's a blast. They do excellent work, and if you want a waxing or a tanning session you can get that, too. Am going back today ... can't wait! Parking can be a bit of a pain around there so you might want to book accordingly. Other than that, I can't imagine why anyone in the area would go anywhere else. By the way, I have some nail issues I found very difficult to communicate to manicurists in other salons in the area due to the language barrier, am sorry to say. Not a problem here at all. Tracy is on top of it all. Best place ever. read more

Central Air = adequate ventilation! My second time here, the first was a couple of years ago with a friend. The service and pedicure were great that time, yet I already had a relationship with another shop in the area. This time I stopped at three salons on my way home, all three were either operating with one wall AC or with the door open on a 90 degree day, and no fans moving out the chemical-filled air, which ruled them out for me. In addition it having central air, this salon is more spacious than most storefront competitors in the area. Parking is readily available on street, and no Meters! Mary did my pedicure, and she was more attentive and through than anyone I have had experience with in the past few years. She took time with trimming cuticles and the hot stone massage was excellent. It was clear that she had some training in the area of massage. They had plenty of people on staff, so she did not need to rush to catch up with a waiting line. The salon was spotless and organized, and it was encouraging to see someone restocking fresh towels and supplies. The atmosphere was relaxing; TVs were on low volume and varied content, staff did not converse with each other across the floor, there was relaxing music in the background. All done in good taste! I will be back. read more

Nice place, not so fancy. But still nice. Good service. I get gels or shellac nails here and they last!! Been here twice since they changed it to TSpa from the other name. Now I think this will be my go to salon. :) read more

This was a last minute stop! I just stopped by chance to see if they had any openings for leg waxing and pedicure- they did ABOVE AND BEYOND! Tracy is the owner and the sweetest thing! She was so kind and coached me through the first leg waxed of my life! Kelly was also really helpful! Very kind and so sweet. They were busy and managed to keep all their appointments without a flinch. Her newest team member was good, but I hope there is room for improvement! Other than that, great great experience and affordable prices! read more

I have no idea where to being with this one... I took a shot on this salon because I drive about 45 miles each way to get my nails done by someone who's done them for ten years, flawlessly. Needless to say, I want to find a closer place. However, this is NOT the one. I went in asking for a pink and white acrylic overlay; NO tips. The tech that worked on my nails didn't understand much but the very nice woman running things explained it to him. He ground my nails down for so long, soaked them in acetone for so long, and then ground them for so long again, that for the rest of the day and night, and the next morning, I couldn't even touch my fingertips together for the amount of throbbing pain I was in. Unreal. After getting all of the acrylic off and grinding my nails to almost nothing, he then starts clipping them off at the numbs. I said to him, "Short is fine but you need to leave enough to square off." He nods in acknowledgement but then proceeded to clip them with no shape and rounded edges. THEN, he brings out the tip box and glue. I yelled, "NO!!! I do NOT want tips. What did you do to my nails??" He had no clue what he was doing. She had to come over again and tell him what he did wrong. Well, nails don't grow in 30 seconds so now it's too late to fix anything. I would have left but with nails half done, you can't at this point. He applied the pink acrylic first. Never before have I had that done. My white goes on first and the pink fills in the remainder of the nail. The acrylic was so thick, it looked like rubber cement. The white went on after the fact and though I told him I like the bands slightly thicker than just the very tips like a typical French, my bands are so thick that my nails look like cartoon nails. I was nearly in tears at this point and by the way, I was 90 minutes in with no end in sight, AND I was due for a pedicure after this ended, if it ever did. He could barely get the white on properly. It went on thick and with no uniformity. It truly felt like he had never done this before a day in his life. Once he was done applying all of the acrylic, it was back to the grinding again. It took a long time to whittle down the thick layers into nails that looked somewhat natural. I had dry skin around the cuticles which were cut on more than one finger to the point of bleeding. As I write this review, I am looking at three scabbed cuticle lines that will likely turn into hangnails for the horrible job he did on them. I had to point out and ask for him to snip the dry skin on my fingers around the nail bed and he couldn't do that correctly either. Only one coat of gel was used as opposed to the usual prime coat followed by the top coat. Two days later, the gel is all bubbling on my nails. I am truly ready to lose my mind over the incompetence of this person. Two and a half hours later, I said, "Forget the pedicure. I have no time for that now that this took hours to do." The price list says a Pink and White is $35. I got charged $45 because they consider this first time a "full set." I have news for them - if I have no tips put on, there is NO full set. This was a pink and white fill that I was overcharged for and the absolute worst manicure of my life. Now, I have to pay my original place more money to fix this mess, and I am sure it will take weeks for my nails to grow past the tops of my fingers since he cut them down to absolutely nothing. I cannot stress enough to anyone looking for this type of nail treatment to please go somewhere else where the technician actually knows what they are doing. Between nicks, cuts, bloody cuticles, bubbling gel, and no concept of how to apply the acrylic properly, I would run as far away from this place as possible. If there was a way to get my money back, I would. I am livid that I spent MORE on this garbage than I spend to have gorgeous nails done by a skilled professional. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Just took my daughters here, we had acrylics, a gel manicure and regular manicure. All great, nice ambience, very happy with the results!

Wow!!! Unacceptable!! I have been coming here for 5 plus years. And I keep giving this place one more chance ever since tracy left. But it is beyond unacceptable how Sophia runs her business. First of all every time I have an appointment they make me wait for over 30 minutes to an hr!! Why am I waiting if I have an appt Setup? Not once but this has happened several times. Well they just got their last chance......I hope everyone who has this problem speaks up. Although they do a good job at nails, there's no reason to bite of more than you can chew....the end result......losing loyal customers like me. read more

I came here with a friend to get our toes done over the summer. Not my regular place, but decided to give it a try because the prices were cheaper. They did a decent job with the nails and the service was alright. However, one week later I take off the polish only to find a fungus underneath my big toenail. Never at my regular nail salon had they given me a toenail fungus, but I guess I should've seen this coming with the cheaper prices. This morning I had to have half of my big toenail removed due to spreaded infection throughout the toe. Clearly they don't clean their tools or know how to properly cut and file down nails. Do not come here! If you're looking for a high quality nail salon in the Belmont area, check out Shine On nails. A little more on the expensive side, but at least they know what they're doing. read more

Sophia is a wonderful sweetheart and an excellent business woman and manager. Everyone there does beautiful work and it is very reasonably priced! I love to go there! read more

Went by here for a pedicure as I was just trying to go somewhere quick and it was in the area. I've seen this location for a while so I decided to give it a try. As I got there no one greeting me nor asked what I needed. After waiting for 15 minutes past my appointment the girl who was wondering around for the past 15 minutes turned out to be the one doing my pedicure. It was close to 6:15, 45 minutes before they close and it was clear that the girl was in a rush to just leave. I specified that I like my toes squared...she made them rounded and kept saying thats how she "squares". It was honestly one of the fastest pedicure I got due to her just rushing through it. She didnt say a word the entire time she was doing my service. When she "finished" I realized some of my toes were half painted, I had to have her fix it and she just clumped up nail polish on it instead of taking her time and nicely taken it off to re do it. A toe nail is small and takes all of 1 minute to take off and repaint. It was clear that this nail salon didn't care for there customer service, and business. They were so unwelcoming and provided poor service. Save your money and go to a different nail salon, there is plenty of other good salons in Newton, MTnails or on moody st in Waltham. read more

I used to go to this salon when it was Diamond Nails but was frequently given the up sell for additional services products so I stopped going. Under the new owner, Tracy, the place runs like clockwork and she keeps her staff busy all the time. Additional services and products are available but with a "when you tell me you would like to try them attitude". Language barrier is not a problem here, the ladies will do exactly what you ask of them. The shop is clean, has up-to-date furnishings and is quite comfortable. If you are lucky enough to have the owner, Tracy, work on you, you will be entertained by her conversation and happy outlook on life. You will leave the salon with great looking nails and a big smile on your face! I tip extra for that! read more

I love this place especially the new owner Tracey!! And all the other ladies that work there. I've been getting gel manicures every couple weeks for the past 3 or so years and I've been to a few different places in the area. T spa is the only place I will go now. They are so friendly and personable which is a lot different than some other places. They always do a great job and are usually pretty fast which I like because I hate sitting still for too long. Haha. I won't go anywhere else. read more

Wonderful nail salon! The owner Sophia makes it such a fabulous experience for everyone with her genuine care and concern, and somehow knows every customer by name! It was my first time coming here and I will definitely be back. Such a welcoming spot :) read more

Nancy was doing my nails. What a sloppy job she did and what an annoyed and unpleasant expression on her face! She couldn't put the coat evenly and got upset at me, told me to "relax...". Anyhow instead of a nice experience I felt like I made a person do something she really hated doing... read more

I just wanna say that I enjoy getting my gel manicure and pedicure with Rebecca! I've been to so many places and yet far I'm so HAPPY with how detailed that she is with her work. I'll have to admit that other places that I have been to my gel manicure only would last a week and a half. So I had decided to go back to T Spa and give it a try again and I ended up getting Rebecca and she did my gel manicure and regular pedicure and my gel manicure ended up lasting 3 weeks. When she did my regular pedicure she also made sure that I didn't have any problems with my toenails and also was very detailed with my pedicure. In the beginning I was very skeptical of having her because she looked like the type that was never happy, but once I sat down with her to have my gel manicure and pedicure done I started to notice that she actually takes her work with lots of pride. You really don't see many nails technicians like that. Other technicians just wanna get you in and out. When I'm with Rebecca she always makes sure that you are happy with her work. If you aren't happy with her work she will keep retrying until you are happy with it. I can't wait until my next appointment and to see the color that she chooses next for me!! read more

Unfortunately this was a terrible experience though as nail technicians they are great, overall things seem very disorganized and there is no rhyme or reason for wait times appointments don't mean anything. I sat with my feet soaking in water for 25 minutes before anyone even came over to apologize. I waited so long I had to skip out on a manicure because I couldn't spend 3 hours here. read more

Came in to get a pedicure and I had an appointment so fortunately was seated almost right away. Unfortunately the quality of the pedicure was horrible. When the technician was cutting and pushing back my cuticles, she was actually stabbing my skin and she did not appear to understand English and despite me clearly wincing in pain she did not stop. When it was time for the hot rocks, they were so hot they burned my skin and again, despite me clearly being in pain, the technician did not notice anything wrong. At this point I stopped the pedicure because it was just so awful. I paid and tipped for the time she did take but I dont think I will be back. This place is so big with people walking in all the time that they do not seem to take enough time and were rushing. My boyfriend was getting a pedicure at the same time as I and his nail technician was so obviously more meticulous and careful and gentle. Not a good sign when a place has such varying qualities of service. read more

The manicurists do an awesome job. I have been coming here for over a year and won't go anyplace else.

I was a walk-in at T Spa today and it turned out to be one of the best pedicures I've received since I came to Boston. Mary was lovely and did a first-rate job. Not only was the pedicure great, but there were all kinds of little extras, including her showing me a foot pressure point that she said would help sleep and a shoulder and neck massage that she gave me after she'd situated me at the dryer station. I will be back and I will ask for her by name, although I'm quite sure any of the people there would do an equally nice job. The place is clean and light. I saw people come in who were clearly regulars. The staff including Sophia (who I think is either the owner or the manager) greeted them warmly by name and welcomed them back. When I left, Sophia asked my name and asked if I was satisfied with my pedicure and the way I was treated. All in all, a pleasure. I've just found a new pedicure place. read more

Love sophia. after having a bad experience at another salon, i think this is the only place i can actually go to and get my money's worth

Love, love, love this place. The store is very clean, they sterilize the tools in disposable packets prior to use. I've been going here for over a year and have always been happy with the results. read more

Tracy and the entire team do a wonderful job -- every single time. I've been coming for over 2 years. Nver disappointed. Pricing is extremely reasonable -- dare I say less than most. ALWAYS my best mani/pedi ever. Always timely. Will never switch.........Fantastic on all levels. read more

Do not waste your time going there. Looked up the reviews, all looked good, so I decided to give it a try. It looked like a nice place, till the moment I sat down with a nail technician. Unfortunately for me she spoke little/ no English. I explained to her exactly how I wanted my nails done, even showed her a picture. She said she understood what I wanted. But guess not. She was doing exactly the opposite from what I had asked. She kept saying she knew what I wanted, but nothing was working out. She couldn't understand me, so we had to call another girl over to translate. After that the situation didn't change. Long story short, it was the most frustrating experience ever. My nails look horrible, crooked, some are longer than others. Every single time I would point that out she would say ok! I'm very pissed off and upset. Wasted 2 hours there to ask her to just leave my nails alone because she kept doing a horrible job, just put a nail polish on and let me go(I was running out of time). I would never return to this place. Horrible. Wasted time and money. Would not recommend. An update to my review. They asked me to come back to fix everything and I now loooove my nails! Tom made them look amazing. If you want your nails to look great go see Tom!!! read more
