Nails
Sherene F.

I will not be returning to tek nails. I'm a cosmetologist and i went into tek nails after coloring someone's hair. I asked the nail tech to clean the dye under my nails before starting and she refused. she also left tons of space between my nail bed and the actual acrylic on almost all of my fingers. Even after asking multiple times to fix it the job still looked undone and like I needed a fill. It hasn't been 24 hours and 2 nails came off, hair is getting stuck underneath the acrylic, and there's still appearance of dye which makes them look unclean. I was so displeased with the service i just asked for a clear coat so i could leave. Upon check out i was charged $70 for a regular pedicure and a short full set which shows that they added several fees to what was supposed to be a $60 transaction. You're better off going to a nail salon that actually cares about the quality of their work, which isn't tek nails.

Good shellac job

They are BETTER than several other local places, such as: The mall place directly across from food court (upper level). Place next to Thai Bowl (watertown). Place down the street, across from Cumberland gas station. Sorry their names weren't worth remembering obviously. I simply think of these places in terms of whether they're better or worse than the others. I will return to Teks.

Outcome of nails

Honestly I went in there with high hopes because I love supporting other businesses.. first off there was no welcoming service.. second they left a lot of their pedicure clients sitting waiting for half an hour... when I got attended I asked for a specific design and a square shape I showed her the picture the design wasn't nothing out of this world just a French tip .. she continues to do my nails and I realize she didn't clean up her spot or wipe it down from the girl before me which to me is unhygienic... she starts doing my nails and puts the tips on and starts shaping them.. she shapes them coffin so when I realized I asked her why is it coffin when I asked for square .. she said rudely she will fix it when done.. I felt very upset.. she finished and my nails came out really bad.. that's only my perspective on how they worked.. two of my friends also got their nails done and apparently got told they were not allowed NO DESIGN.. which is outrageous.. they left our nails looking a little off.. especially mine.. I wish I had pictures of my friends nails but I'll show mine.. honestly I DO NOT recommend coming here.. OH and I forgot to mention I asked the lady probably the "boss" if I can get a discount and she asked why and I explained.. she said no that they look perfect so I let us slide payed $70 .. plus tax $75 .. definitely a waste of time, money and energy .. have a good day!!

Nails done at Tek. Tilted nails and color looks like a little kid did it.

I have been coming here for a year now and unfortunately in the last few months they have been doing a crappy job every time. They say retouch should be in 3 weeks, but in just few days nails break and color peals. Not without saying that they are doing an horrible job filing and smoothing the nail. They get mad and give you attitude if you tell them to fix something or to do it how you want it. They start taking their language, but you can tell they are talking about you when they keep repeating the same word over and over. Sorry, but neither me or my two daughters or my family are coming back here. if you still go there DONT have #4 or #6 horrible, horrible experience

I have been going to Vicky for years. I even drive from NY since I can't find anyone locally who can compare. I am very picky about the shape of my nails, acrylic must be smooth and I love amazing nail art and I get all of that with Vicky. I always bring my own polish or gel polish and I have never had or heard anyone push gel on anyone. My nails always last 3 weeks and still look flawless and I have even gone 4 weeks if something comes up and I can't make it. Everyone there is really nice and accommodating. Don't hesitate to try Tek Nails!

This is the day after getting the shellac French manicure I paid $30!!
Laura M.

Never again, the pedicure was decent. However, I got a shellac manicure, with French design. The very next day the shellac started to "lift" off in one piece without any effort. I was switched up from one lady (non-English speaking) that did my pedicure then she started to do my manicure and when the man took over he started to apply top coat and my nails hadn't even been filed (shaped) or buffed yet..... I believe he may have used the wrong base coat too! When your customers are paying $30 for a manicure and you cannot even rub lotion on their hands when completed, and the manicure doesn't last a day something is wrong here!

Ombre nails done by Vicky. She and the rest of the techs at this nail salon are wonderful! Do yourself a favor and stop in!
Vicky H.

Great service. Beautiful nails. I am usually very picky, but Vicky did an excellent job. I will be returning when I come back for my next visit to Waterbury.

Classic French gel manicure

Wasn't too impressed with the way the lady started doing my gel manicure, but I love the way it looks. She made me soak my fingers in acetone which is dif from other salons where they actually wrap your nails so your skin won't dry out. I opted for a Classic French gel and I'm totally in love. The atmosphere of the place is a total zoo, maybe because I chose to go mid day on a Friday? I will be trying this place again on a weekday and hopefully it's a little less chaotic.

Glitter everywhere

Vicky is the best! The salon could use a paint job, but the services are great. I wish they had a customer loyalty card.
