Have been coming here since I was a teenager living in Newton. Lovely ladies, great Manis, pedis and waxing. Nice recent renovation.

Friendly and accomodating last minute appointments

I have been here twice before, and unfortunately it's a bit too expensive and far away with traffic for me to continue coming back now that I've used up the gift certificate. The women here are very nice and sociable. I checked out the previous reviews/website and requested Be, the owner, for the gel mani / regular pedi. The salon itself looks very plain with minimal decorations and the standard nail polish rack with nail swatches on a ring.
First time I arrived on time assuming I would be the first person since that's when the place opens according to their published hours. However similar to many other nail salons I still had to wait about 10-15 minutes. She said she'd be with me momentarily and asked me to pick out nail colors. That is nice that she made an exception for one of her loyal clients to do an earlier appointment, but unfortunate for me. I sat down at one of the three pedicure stations with scalding water until Be finally finished. We exchanged friendly banter which I was not accustomed to from other places I visited. I am unsure whether this place has the fake flip flops if you forget yours since I did not see any other women encounter this issue. They may have ran out of the toe separators so she used tissues the first time for everyone. It was my first time doing a gel manicure so I wasn't expecting this process to take so long. Overall the mani and pedi looked great! I should have asked to use the student discount the first time but I forgot.
Anyway the second time I came back I had a new nail tech (Sylvia) who was not listed on the website and I arrived for their last appointment of the day so it was understandable that I had to wait again after my appointment time. I brought my own polish to use and she did not clean the polish residue off the bottle after use unfortunately. She did a good job with the pedicure, aside from the complaining she did the entire time about her aching back. I wasn't sure what she wanted me to say in response since it's not unexpected if she's hunched over the pedicure station all day... I tried to use the student discount they have advertised of 10% with the gift card, and was refused by Be because she said I could not use 2 promotions at the same time. Gift cards are not promotions as the person who gifted to me prepaid the price for the services/value! Please put a disclaimer on your website or somewhere in the salon if you are going to use those strange terms.

My new favorite place. Don't let the scheduled times fool you because they're open until 7pm on Saturdays (the posted time is incorrect) and if you call and ask the owner, Be, can accommodate you earlier or later than the schedule says. They offer a free manicure after you've gotten 10. Very clean place and they do a detailed job. They tend to be booked but they just hired two people and a lady to do waxing as well as the already eyebrow threading they offer. I originally called for the first time, looking for a new salon, and was told they were booked but just 15 minutes later Be called me back and said she'd fit me in...so glad she did because I received a great mani pedi and they stayed until 8pm to make sure my nails fully dried! $45 for a basic mani pedi which includes exfoliate, hot coals, and massage (for pedi) and massage (for mani) however they do offer deluxe packages. Be and her coworkers took the time to ensure that every customer was cared for and satisfied. Definitely head here if you want great service and personable customer attention 5/5
