My Mani Pedi Spa

Row and May are truly the best manicurists!
Although it is not a fancy spa kinda nail salon, but i like this place because it is clean and not very crowded! I always enjoy the massage they offer me (extra 10 $ per 10min extra massage), and i like the massage chair you sit on while pedicure.
They do not have a price list on the wall,
But regular manicure is 12 $, manicure and pedicure is 37, gel is 52 $.

I tried out My Mani Pedi today as it was recommended to me. My pedicure looks okay and the foot massage was pretty decent, but my manicure is just awful. The polish was layered on too thick, nails weren’t cut/​filed evenly with lots of snags, polish over my cuticles that weren’t cut back far enough and when she told me I was all set I had to have her go over a barely covered spot on my thumb. Womp. I would have been better off doing my mani at home.
The woman that did my mani/​pedi was persistent with trying to up-​sell other services. Foot massage? No. 10 minute shoulder massage? No. Respect the hustle, but do yourself a favor and head over to Lan across the street. They do a much better job.

A small, basement-​level store offers quick mani-​pedis in a clean and friendly environment. The women are very kind and were helpful in picking out the best color. The pedicure chairs were comfortable and were washed after every customer. There are different kinds of pedicures offered though the basic pedicure is very thorough. For $ 1 a minute you have the option of adding additional massage time. I added 10 minutes of massage to my pedicure and a 10-​minute head/​neck/​shoulder massage. Those were the best $ 20 I’ve spent in a long time. I went in feeling tired, hoping this nice pedicure would help and boy did it! My pedi color lasted well over a month. I also got a gel manicure. It was quick and as expected, though the color wasn’t perfectly even. Overall, it was a job well done. I’d be happy to return. Tips are CASH ONLY!

Clean and more spacious than the others nearby. I think they provide an excellent pedicure for men. Walk in never a problem. Ask for Jamie

I went in here on a very quiet day recently and Unilocal told me I had 12 check-in’s here already. How have I not re-​reviewed since 2011? I’ve had a lot of good experiences here but go to City Nails due to the location of my work. ANYway…
This time I had 90 minutes to kill and decided to get a manicure as well because it would eat up time, but never 90 minutes. After an amazing pedicure, an extra 10 minute massage on each leg, perfect manicure, and 10 minute shoulder rub… 90 blissful minutes had passed. It was $ 67 all in and worth every penny. The 30 of massage time was 30 bucks and almost as good as some of the massages I’ve had at spas. I wasn’t naked though, maybe that’s a difference.
Anyway, I love My Mani Pedi but I also love convenience. Going here will continue to be a special treat — they really do an amazing job :)

Terrible on a Sunday! Rush you thru wanting the next customer that’s coming thru the door… overcharge for leg massage… won’t let you see the timer! Watch your wallets if you walk thru these doors!!!

Amazing pedicure and beautiful gel french manicure! Four stars because I’m a little perplexed about the pricing… When I went to pay I was told it would be $ 77.00!!! In their brochure a pedicure is listed at $ 25.00, which would mean my gel French mani was $ 52.00? Unfortunately they don’t have any prices in their brochure for gel anything, which is strange. The only thing I can think of is that the woman doing my pedi may have asked me if I wanted extra massage time and I couldn’t understand what she was saying no matter how many times she repeated it, so eventually I just smiled and nodded. She did massage for a long while, but I thought it was just because they were kind of slow that day. I felt bad asking and just paid up.
Next time I’m going to ask how much everything is before I pay, suggest you do too!

Wonderful. I have had my share of horror stories and literally painful pedicure experiences. Jamie is fantastic, knowledgeable and gentle. It feels great for my feet to have finally found a home.

May is actuality the most amazing, fast, and friendly gel manicurist I have ever had. EVER. I swore I would never spend money on gels again but after going to her and seeing how quick and wonderful she does it I had to start going again!
Great prices (comparable to everywhere else in the South End). And it lasts for at minimum 2.5 weeks.
Highly recommend – best place in all of Boston!

Hands down one of the worst manicure and pedicures I have ever had! Their customer service is awful. I should have listened to the other negative reviews, it would have saved me the money.
The technician tried to upsell me the entire time: «shellac»? No thanks. «Extra leg and shoulder massage»? Ummm… why would I pay extra for a massage that stinks when its free?!!
And her mani/​pedi was quick, sloppy and thoughtless. The color looks HORRENDOUS! She even painted all over my toes without fixing it! Seriously lady? Maybe you need a career change?
When, oh when, will the south end get a CLEAN, NICE place to get your nails done!!! Its so bad its almost offensive!

This cute nail salon is not AMAZING, but it’s definitely a fine place to go if you’re in the area and have a hankering for a mani/​pedi. Their manicure bar is friendly and unique, and welcomes open banter among clients. Their pedi spas are über comfortable, and the quality of their work is damn good! I only wish they had a better color selection. Some of their polishes look a bit old too.

Love the place given that it’s abt 30 seconds from my house… but every time the polish has chipped w/​in a day or two. Unimpressive, but in a pinch, not a bad spot to brighten up your day if your cuticles are looking raggedy.
Technicians are lovely and quick. Polish change is $ 8 or $ 12 — I think they have Essie and OPI colors?

Typical small mani pedi place. Cozy, clean, and get the job done! If I lived in Boston I would go back. Good neighborhood pedi place :)

Tomorrow will be one week since I have gotten my mani and it is still perfect. Minus one star for not letting me tip using my card. I never have cash! Ask for Lee she
did a great job.

When I came home to Boston for a weekend, I dropped in here for a mani. Now the current mani had was still fully painted with no chips, but I wanted to go to My Mani Pedi so bad that I sacrificed.
First of all the wait was ridiculous. I was meeting a friend for lunch after and almost just told them to forget it. Secondly the woman who took off my polish was so rough that she actually broke on of my nails. After to complaining about it openly to my friend sitting next to me, one of the technicians decided to fix it.
She glued the nail and put some sort of fabric on it and it was fixed. Awesome! Then she painted them. When she painted over the half-​fake half-​broken nail, it came out all crumply and cracked. It looked like I had that cheap looking crackle nail polish on. I only wear neutrals and light colors, so I was extremely disappointed. The tech said it was fine and sent me on my way.
They only allow tip in cash but all I had was credit (they will make an exception, they just want their money quicker). When I looked at my receipt it said $ 18. I told her to add $ 3 to the mani for a tip so it should have only been $ 15 (reg mani is $ 12). I was so upset that she had charged me to fix the nail she broke in the first place.
I definitely won’t be back. Its sad because this used to be my favorite nail spot in Boston. Looks like I’ll have to find a new place in the city.

I have been going to My Mani Pedi for a few years and its always a great experience. The ladies here are very friendly and happy, and will accommodate a finicky patron even when she requests a color change mid-​way through her pedicure… yes, I did that… only once, though :) The salon itself is clean and bright, and not tacky like a lot of other nail salons.
My 2 cents:
1. If you find a girl you like, ask for her name and request her on your next visit. I find sometimes a newer girl will file my nails a little ‘off’ and this can wreck with nail growth.
2. Bring cash –they take credit cards for services, but not for tipping.
3. If you have a favorite nail color/​polish, purchase it elsewhere and bring it with you. A few times they have run out of basic colors which most other salons carry in bulk.

This is the mani-​pedi place at the end of my street so I always go here for convenience. But I’m always very pleased with the job they do. It is slightly more expensive than some of the other places in the city, but not too bad. And for me, the most important thing is being able to get in. And the girls here are always really friendly.
I highly recommend!

I started going here a few months ago because it is right around the corner from my apartment. Except for once in which I got a girl who was a little too aggressive for me and did a poor job with the nail polish, all other girls in that salon always do a phenomenal job (if you want names of good girls to schedule an appointment with, I am willing to share if you send me a message).
My mani-​pedi always lasts for longer than it used to before I found this place.
The one thing I wish they changed are the chairs. They are supposed to be massage chairs, but I guess they no longer work (just make noise, no movement). I think it is time for them to upgrade the chairs, then I will consider giving them a 5.

Clean, bright, FRIENDLY, and bang-​up mani/​pedis. The recently got gel nails, so this brought them from a 4-​star to a 5-​star place. Highly recommended!
Credit cards, but not for tips, so bring a lil’ cash along with you. Sovereign bank and B of A ATMs within a half a block.

I’ve been here twice and had dueling experiences. The first time I went I was in a rush, which was stupid of me, but the young woman did a bangup job with my french manicure. I think I ruined it by running to my office afterwards so who knows whether it was really good, but as I glanced at it when I left it looked decent. She was also really nice.
I just went for another manicure, this time with just clear polish, and it was awful. The woman kept looking at the door ever 5 seconds, WHILE she was using the cuticle clipper. I had to direct her to do a few finishing touches on clipping + filing, and she didn’t even do what I asked her to well. The clear polish ended up with bubbles all over it, she cut my nails much shorter than I asked, my cuticles were not clean, and the hand massage I got was about 30 seconds on each hand.
I probably won’t be going back here, but I think it all depends on who you get. If they’d wear name tags I could be more specific. Also, know that if they tell you it’s a 2 – 5 minute wait, it’s more like 10 – 15 minutes at the least. I would avoid this place when they’re busy.
