Lynne’s Nails

Milo and Mimi are absolute sweethearts. I’ve been going to them for over 5 years. They not only make my nails look great but they give me a sense of community. I always look forward to seeing them. I’ve been very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them.

I have been going to Lynne’s Nails for 8 years, ever since I moved to Arlington. The owner and her sister are delightful people who are very knowledgeable and helpful. The salon is always crowded, with“regulars” and new customers who usually become regulars. The operators are quick and efficient; I have been to many other nail salons in the Boston area and this is by far the most professional one I’ve seen. They keep up with new techniques and products, and I always feel great when I leave there. I read the review about the «pink and white» and couldn’t quite get the point through the rambling diatribe, but my experience with periodically having a «full set» has been excellent and satisfying. I recommend Lynne’s Nails and can’t imagine going anywhere else!

Mimi and Milo are like extended family for me. I use them mostly for mandatory pedicures (not for beauty), but they still manage to make my otherwise ugly feet look beautiful. I enjoy their message chairs while my feet soak. And I love the new 2-​minute nail polish that dries REALLY FAST and is «dummy proof.» Previously, i didn’t bother getting my nails done because I couldn’t make it out the door without messing at least one nail up. Their prices are great, too. There are places you can go and get more of a «massage,» but if you are busy and want a quick, efficient job for a VERY reasonable price, enjoy a «neighborhood» atmosphere, no nasty gossip but lots of laughter, Lynne’s Nails is the place to go in Arlington. I’ve been going to them for over 10 years, and we’ve all watched our kids grow up. (when my parents were alive, my mom ALWAYS went there whenever she was up for a visit. My step-​dad did, too!)

Newly moved to Arlington, I went to Lynne’s Nails based on a friend’s recommendation. This was also after I had a hideously bad nail experience in West Roxbury. Lynne took time to talk to me about my options (gel vs acrylic; not shellac because my nails were in poor condition) and worked quickly to repair my nails. The result was a beautifully crafted gel set with impeccable polish :)
That was almost two and a half weeks ago (haven’t been back yet only because of traveling and moving) and not one of my nails has fallen off or lifted. Although the place is small (two pedicure chairs and three or four nail stations), it is extremely clean. The only detriment to my amazing experience was that the pedicure nail technician literally talked for the entire hour I was there and it was a tad annoying. The prices are right and I will be calling them today for another appointment. I highly recommend Lynne’s.

I’ve been eyeing Lynne’s Nails for a while. See, I’m on this mission, to never leave my neighborhood. It’s a carless person’s dream. Now that I have my grocery, deli, baked good, and dry cleaning needs satisfied… all that’s left is beauty, enter Lynne’s Nails. Lynne’s is small, quiet and relatively standard for a salon of it’s size. Based on the lackluster service, I was surprised to learn that they’d been in business at this location for 10 years but that’s the story. The service wasn’t awful but I’d think that it would need to be a bit snappier to survive in my neighborhood. Either I’m wrong or excellent service is administered based on seniority. At any rate, Lynne’s gets a star for convenience, one for decent – but not exceptional – service and a star for cleanliness.
