A great cute and clean nail spot in financial district near Faneuil Hall! Expensive for sure -$26 for polish manicure and $16 for polish change. However the job was well done, very attentive service. Impeccable attention to detail and was not rushed even though many customers were coming in. They have a solid collection of green beauty Japanese nail polish and they do nail art although it is pricey. read more

Don't advertise 'walk-ins welcome' if you're not staffed to handle walk-ins. I got to the salon before they opened and was told they were booked for the day. very disappointing read more

AMAZING I'm usually pretty anxious to go to nail salons cause I always get sucked into getting more than I need but the service was amazing. I stopped getting pedicures after I ran into too many instances where the nail technician was too rough and would make me bleed. But wow this place was so great! My nail technician was so gentle and she was so sweet I felt so comfortable and the place is so cute and cozy. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I went to Tinailery 2 weeks ago and loved it! Everything is extremely clean, the girls are welcoming and sweet and Cammie did an unbelievable job. Learning about the Presto gel was great - the gel on my nails always chip before 2 weeks when I head back, but this time they didn't! My nails still look perfect and I've been getting compliments constantly. The service is great and the manicure is the best I've had. Will definitely be my new go-to! read more

Service and quality are underwhelmed and not worth the price. I went there because my friend was so excited to show me Japanese nail art style manicure. There is no manicure but just the machine glazed over my nail bed to prep for the gel. The girls are nice at first and speak very little English which is fine as long as I get the msg thru. I sat there for over 2.5 hrs without any breaks all because the girls was getting up and doing others things. No water or tea was offered on a cold, rainy day. I feel they weren't focus on my nails because I told the girls what colors and design I wanted and she still got it wrong. She realized the color was wrong too after she put it on but I was too tired to sit any longer to get it fix. I'm okay with it but design is not their strong point. Cons My gel nails are very, very thick even my husband noticed it and he never comment on any of these things! The color is very far from the cuticle so the very next day in natural sunlight, it looks like I got my nail done for a week already. Their painting skill could use more work. Third day, my two thumbs and pinky showed sign of lifting! Pros: organic gel products and cozy decor P.S. THEY DO BADMOUTH OTHER CUSTOMERS IN THEIR LANGUAGE! My friend understand them and they were badmouth a customer that was sitting next to us. They also badmouth my friend too. Thus, I would not recommend this place. P.S. I used to do nails too and this is not how you treat your customers. They let my friend walked out with a bad design that she paid alot for. read more

The first time come to such girly place, but I still tried the pedicure because my wife requested. I really need to say their hot stone massage makes me feel very relaxing. And I add the callus treatment which makes my feet looks much softer. I would suggest people to come and try the services. read more

I loved this place and it's so Convenient and easy to where I work. I haven't found a place I liked by my house so I was excited to see this open. It was super clean and everyone was extremely friendly! It's small so if you are on a time crunch I highly suggest an appointment! I had Hazel and it was the best foot massage I ever had on a pedicure ! read more

Service was cold and snooty by every worker. Nail work lasted 2 days at best. And when tipping, I was pressured to give more than 20%. Not coming back. read more

I have been looking for a nail shop that does Japanese nail art in Boston, and finally found Tinailery. I met Bella before the Tinailery shop opened and got my nail art back in late fall 2017. When they finally opened the shop around Christmas 2017, I came with my mom to get our nails done again. Co owners Bella and Cammie have an extensive background in Japanese nail art, and studied in Japan with an experienced teacher as well. If you want basic gel nail or complicated nail art, Tinailery is the place you want to come to. I ONLY trust Tinailery to do my nail art. Don't waste your time at other shops, because they're NO WHERE as good as Tinailery. All the nail techs have been trained, have a license (unlike most nail techs.) When you first get to Tinailery, they give you complimentary tea The only complaint i have is parking, but it's in one of the busiest parts of Boston, and I will just deal with it to get pretty nails read more

Tinailery - Cute pink nail art by owner Bella Ran - Nail Salons Near Me - Brookline MA, Massachusetts

Sunny I believe was his name did a phenomenal job with my nails, I'm in love ! He was very careful to remove my acrylic nails and made sure my experience was painless.e did an amazing job with the nail art as well, I do believe that the pricing for the nail extension should've of gone down a little for me since I was only doing 6 nails and the rest were my real nails but that's just my personal opinion. Overall this was an amazing experience and I definitely recommend coming here for top notch quality nails, I'll be updating to see how long the nails hold but like I said an amazing place with an amazing aesthetically pleasing atmosphere and they serve free tea as well which makes you feel like you are a worthy customer and I surely felt that when I went in today. read more

Went to Tinailery to have my nails done 3 times already. I kept coming back every month because they are so good. Just show them a picture and they will make your nails look exactly like that. The nail art lasted 5 weeks for me. The first and second time I had Sayuri do my nails and the third time Bella did it for me. They are both amazing. I kept looking at my nails every time and smile. Thank you for making me happy! See you next month. read more

See all

My favorite nail place ever!!! Best customer service there and great environment!! Never want to try different stores once I've been here. read more

Tinailery - Nail Salons Near Me - Brookline MA, Massachusetts

I work nearby and needed a "tidy up and polish change" as they call it and charge $26 for. I walked in wearing sneakers as it's the middle of winter and the girl literally laughed in my face horrified I was wearing sneakers and asking for a polish change. She said I'd have to wait 30 minutes for my nails to dry and I said that's fine, I was getting the polish change to save time. The girl was so rude and wouldn't take me so I said okay if you don't want the business I'll happily go elsewhere. So I went to C&J in the north end and they took care of me like they always do for a more reasonable price. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

cammie is fine but avoid Hazel Hazel is keeping making a face about me.................. read more

I started coming here over a year ago or so when they were new and I loved it. However the last two times have been awful. They have a new tech there named Mia and I had her both times. The first time I went she took over an hour to do just prep my nails because she was slow (not because I have crappy nails) and it hurt so much when she was doing my cuticles. I wanted an ombre sparkle on two nails. She said okay to it and failed miserably and had to get Phoebe (the owner) to do it. If she said she didn't know how I would've been fine with it. Within two weeks I noticed the top coat dented on the side of my nail (which never happened before). The second time I went a month later I had her again and I decided to give her another chance. She hurt me even more when doing cuticles where I flinched back and she didn't say sorry. The worst part was in less than a week it two nails chipped. Usually when Phoebe does it, it never chips and last up to 4weeks or more and I only go back in because my nails have grown too long. I had to go back in and fix it and she tried to charge me. I kept saying it chipped less than a week and then Phoebe said I didn't have to pay. I think quality went down and unless you have one of the original techs there, the outcome might not be the best. read more

The only place I know in Boston that does Japanese nail design with a great quality. If you follow tinailery Instagram, you will see different designs they did or created. Every time I got into the nail salon, I can choose from any nail design pictures I wanted to do, or I can pick from Japanese magazines. A bit pricy but highly recommended. read more

I went in for a manicure today (regular, not gel...with no nail polish currently on) and it took a full hour for them to do my nails. And since it's a light color I can still see the white tips of my nails through the color. Then at the end since I had to get back to work after AN HOUR for what they put on the website as a 30 min service, they sprayed the quick dry spray on it and two nails got messed up. So after all of that I'm just going to go home and have to redo them anyways. Waste of money. read more

It is so wonderful to be able to get my nails done during my lunch hour. The ladies are wonderful and so nice and do a great job with my nails. You walk in sit down and you are given a nice cup to tea. The place is so clean. If your in the boston area make sure you check it out it is worth it. Beth read more

I was lucky enough to be here for a lunch time gel when the health inspector showed up. It was interesting to see all the ladies scramble to hide their tools (probably unsanitized) in their purses. They are clearly violating health codes. The inspector even talked to them about it in front of us customers. I'll stay away as a result of what I saw. read more

I went with my girl friend to celebrate her birthday it was very relaxing. She was very enjoy it and I'm highly recommend this place for couples. read more

I have been visiting this place for more than a year. I believe I am Tinailery's first customer, growing with it from only one workstation to its current achievement. I have the right to say how much effort they put, as I deeply know it. I never went to other nail salon 'Cause I know there's no place better than this. Bella studied a lot of nail arts knowledge and she truly understands my nails. She can even go to Japan using her personal investment just for getting better skills of nail art. For those haters who made negative review upon imagination, I suggest you to enjoy the service at least once and you probably will become a lover. Besides, Cammie is a very talented lashes expert. I did lases extension for more than one year and changed several different places. She's the only one who provides me best experience. I care quality more than price and everything. My eyes were in pain after lashes were done in other places while Cammie's masterpiece never hurts my eyes. The glue and lashes she uses are way different than in other places. This place is expensive but the it's worthy. read more

Well I had spending good time in the salon. Excellent service and nice technicians thank you for all of you.

I absolutely love coming to Tinailery! All of the technicians are so nice, the salon is super clean and organized and you also get gel nails that last you a month with no chips! Customers definitely get their money's worth! read more

A little pricey but the best manicure you'll ever have! They are attentive to detail and everything lasts at least 50% longer than it does at other salons. I wish they didn't charge for gel removal (it seems a little nit picky) but other than that no complaints! read more

Everything about this place is phenomenal. It's clean, atmosphere is great, they even give you tea, the staff is friendly and they do an incredible job. I would give this place more than 5 stars if that was an option! read more

We paid $20 each for appointment, it turned out that we couldn't make it and asked for rescheduling, they suggested that if you want to reschedule, you will need to pay another $20 for a different appointment. If you can't guarantee your visit, this is not a good option. read more

This is the worst experience I have ever had at a nail salon. I had gone previously for a gel manicure, and I decided to go back because of its close proximity to my work. When I asked to get a polish change and gel take off, I was told that it would be $15 (really?!) for a gel takeoff if it was not their gel. I told them that the gel was in fact theirs, and another girl began interrogating me. She tried to look me up in the system, asked what nail technician I saw, asked what kind of gel I was wearing (probably to trick me since they only have certain types of gel), and asked me what day and time I came in. The questioning went on and on. I was mortified. She was basically calling me a liar, even though I had been there two weeks before. How is it my fault that someone didn't take my name before/put me in the system!? In an area with many nail salons, it probably isn't the best business choice to treat customers this way. I left after the interrogation, and went to a place down the street that did a great job and charged me 13 dollars for a gel take off and polish change! I will never be going back - HORRIBLE experience. read more

Great new nail salon in the city. Very clean and the employees are friendly. I like the unique design of the space and the options to do nail art- it makes the salon stand out. The regular mani/pedis are great too. I also appreciated that I could leave a tip via Venmo because I forgot to bring cash with me. Thanks! read more

I went here for the first time this week and I loved this salon. My nails came out great and everyone was very nice. I had a chip in my gel polish after one day and they fixed it for me for free! They even gave me a "extra layer" gel for free (usually $15 extra) and that should make my polish last 20 days. read more

Me and my girlfriend went for Christmas. It was a great experience. They did very detail work (around 45mins on our pedicure ) compared to the other salon. It was a three seats of pedicure station and it's great for private party like us. Highly recommended. read more

I love Tinailery! They have a great salon experience - beautifully decorated salon, kind and friendly staff, delicious tea, and a clean and comfortable environment!! Highly recommend! read more

After the manager of Tinailery reached out to me, I decided to give Tinailery another try and glad I did. The manager was apologetic and so were the nail techs, which is appreciated because often businesses will not extend an apology or offer an opportunity to keep a customer or amend an untoward experience. I had a pedi on the house and a mani (paid service) with nail tech Phoebe. It was amazing and was everything and more my first visit to Tinailery was. I was received well by everyone there and was not uncomfortable nor did I feel awkward even though the staff were aware that I was returning after being unhappy and had shared that experience on this platform. That speaks volumes to the team's professionalism. I'm thankful Tinailery's management and team responded kindly and professionally towards me and I'm happy to return as a customer. I highly recommend Phoebe Chen if you're seeking a nail technician from a green friendly nail salon. Thank you Tinailery! read more

This place is very clean. They used disposable files and buffers. I really like the way they do my cuticles by using the machine, it feel very gentle compared to just using nipper. I would like to try their pedicure next time. read more

This was my first time at Tinailery and I loved it. I work in the area so went out of convenience but this is now my favorite place. I got gel over 2 weeks ago and it's still perfect. read more

After a few bad nail salon experiences, I've found my place! I git the spa manicure and even though it was pricey, it was so worth it. I always leave salons wishing I got a little something more and most of the time I can't communicate as well as I'd like due to language barriers. I always end up getting cut or they file my nails so thin. She took her time filing each nail perfectly. My nail tech (I think her name was Arina possibly) was so careful and tested the electric file on her own hand before touching me with it. She scrubbed my hands with a salt scrub and put heated mitts on my hands with oil so it could really sink in. She had me pick out an essential oil to add to my massage oil. I picked pine and grapefruit which smelled amazing. The owner makes the oil which is a HUGE plus for me because there's no shady chemicals. She took her time and it was relaxing, not rushed and stressful like a lot of my salon experiences. They even suggested I opt out of polish and put more of the oil on my nails instead since I am trying to recover from a bad powder dip manicure and make my nails stronger. Will definitely be back many times! read more

Not great. Definitely an issue with communication, my nail tech didn't speak or understand any English. There was limited color choices because I didn't get a gel manicure, and the polish seemed old. It seems people have better luck when getting more extensive and expensive services? Overall, I was not satisfied with my manicure. But the place was clean and pleasant. For the price ($26 for a standard manicure) - it wasn't worth it, and i definitely won't be going back. read more
