Zen Nails & Spa

I called for a last minute appointment. They took all four of us. Friendly staff and fast services. I am happy with my pedicure and manicure. Two of my girlfriends didn’t like theirs. I guess it depends on who you get.
They offer a full bottle of water. Nice touch!

I absolutely love this nail salon.
Clean, classy, nicely decorated, friendly accommodating staff. Great music, happy customers, nice big TV.
Been coming here several years, will be coming for many more.

I was a regular here up until a few months ago. My 9 year old daughter had a manicure done in the station behind me as I was having a gel manicure. I heard her crying and rushed over to her to find they had cut more than one cuticle as well as the skin around them too low causing her to bleed. They were more like nicks in the skin. We could not get the bleeding to stop for a very long time. I have been told by other salon owners that nail techs are NOT allowed to trim a child’s cuticles.
Needless to say, we have not been back since. The nail tech was extremely apologetic but given the situation, my child was very shaken from the experience. We now go to a new place. Moms beware: always tell them before they start to NOT touch your child’s cuticles. Ever.

My usual place, MT nails my local place was totally booked so I went to the next closest Zen. This place is very clean inside and they were very welcoming. I booked an appointment prior to coming in and they had something available within the hour. They offer you water when you come in. They use hot stones as well and for 25 bucks its a good deal.

AMAZING. From start to finish everything was Amazing. I never stray away from my regular salon due to past experiences, but I was visiting the wrea for a few days and thought what the heck! Soooo happy I did! They play some soft old school 90-​s R&B which is awesome and relaxing. KIM did my shellac mani and lip wax. She was Really nice & super cool, & paid attention to detail — They came out PERFFF. A different woman (believe her name was Kelly) did my pedi. She was also Fantastic. Nice massage with hot rocks were great!
A younger woman (Regular) came in with her baby (he slept like an angel for 90% of the time) Got a little fussy — lil guy was probably hungry! Lol, A couple of the staff soothed & rocked him while his momma was finishing up. Thought that was really cool & Sweet!
All around patient and wonderdul people working here. Fast (Not Rushed) and efficient Service!
This place far exceeded my expectations. This will be my Go to Place whenever I’m in the south Shore & in need of some relaxtion =)

I really enjoyed my experience here. The woman did a great job on my nails. I got a gel fill and she made my nails nice and thin unlike some nail salons and it was a reasonable price. I will definitely be going back.

this place was recommended to me and I guess I went in with high expectations. I asked to only have a couple nails really filed as they were much longer than the others, I wanted to keep some length to my nails. The guy filed all my nails much shorter than I had asked, I had also said I wanted to keep the same shape my nails naturally grow but he filed them into a square. I also asked if they could do a design and another lady came over to do it but was unable to do the design because she said «your nails are to short for this design to come out like the photo». I will not be going back.

Clean, great service, complimentary beverages and all of the 90s R&B you can handle! I’ve tried other places but this is the best in terms of overall experience.

I come here every few weeks and kelly, tom and tony the owner are the best. U always get a drink and a smile… tony is very welcoming to everyone. I will continue to come back all the way from dorchester

I don’t recommend this place.
I am currently very pregnant and unable to reach or even see my own toes very well, and since it’s summer I’ve been going for pedis pretty frequently. I tried Zen Nails based on the good reviews, and went back a second time hoping the first experience was a fluke.
The first time I went, I was really disappointed in the short, half-​assed foot massage I received from the woman giving me my treatment. I watched as other patrons around me got what looked like great rubs, and this pregnant lady and her sore feet were really disappointed. The woman did not paint all the way up to the edge of my nails (which I hate because your pedi looks grown-​out and sloppy after a couple of days), and after sitting under the dryer and then checking out her work more closely, I had to ask her to touch up several spots she had missed.
The second time I went I had a male nail tech. He gave me a pretty good foot rub – on one foot. He never massaged my other foot before he started painting! He also did not remove the other products he used on my feet from my nails very well before painting, so my big toe had chipped on the end before the end of the day. He not only did not paint up to the top edge of my nail, he flat-​out missed half of two of my toenails. When I checked out my feet, I had to go into the back and find him and ask him to fix his shoddy paint job as well.
All the people who work here seem nice, and I was offered a bottled water and did not wait long either time. However, usually a pedi lasts me two to three weeks, and both pedis I got here were a mess and didn’t last longer than one week. For me, Zen Nails
is a waste of cash and a huge disappointment in the foot massage area. I wish they were more attentive in their painting – then I might forgive the massage aspect!

Do not under any circumstances go here. I just wanted to get gel polish put on before a vacation. In the process of filing my nail the women whose name I was never told managed to file down an entire side of my nail so that it started bleeding and then without telling me decided the best choice was to put pressure on it with a cotton square soaked in nail polish remover. When I pull my hand back I got a oh sorry you can go wash your hand. When I return a a take a second to put my hand under the UV light as it was burning I got yelled at to put my hand in and out quickly. My other hand was then thrown back by this women so the polish went down my fingers and I was then given attitude about her having to clean this up. Upon finishing I was asked if I want an eyebrow waxing too. Needless to say I passed.

I walked in for a pedicure and noticed every chair was taken. I was told to pick a color and that a chair was opening up (within 5 mins of arriving, I was sitting in a salon chair getting a pedicure). I also liked that I wasn’t hassled into being asked about getting a manicure. Although I didn’t take the complimentary bottled water, I thought it was a nice gesture. being served free drinks while being pampered?! This should happen more often :-)
While in the chair, the water was very hot. The stone was equally or even more hot, but the towel for my legs was lukewarm. The tech noticed something in the water and took it out and immediately discarded (could have been the green scrub gel that was applied to my legs, I hope?! EEK).
Anyhow, for a packed salon, the tech wasn’t rushing and taking her time until I told her I wasn’t getting a manicure.
I love that they are playing 90s pop and r&b!!!

Got a manicure and pedicure on Thursday. The complimentary water, hot stones and hot towel were a nice touch. What was disappointing was that it felt rushed so I ended up smudging my index nail while paying. The nail tech said my nails were dry but clearly it wasn’t. It was good that the owner helped fix it. Unfortunately the manicure did not last long at all. It chipped and started to peel 2 days after. I would expect it to last a week, right?
Pedicure lasted a little longer at least, no chips until day 4.

I haven’t been pleased with the last couple of fills I’ve been getting. Whoever does my nails keeps hitting the skin around my nails with that grinding tool. The paint job looks bad and the length of my acrylics aren’t even. I tried a pedicure and the girl basically did what felt like nothing.

This will be the first time I post a negative review online and I feel terrible doing it, but my pedicure at zen nails was awful.
My nail tech (she didn’t give me her name even though I asked) ignored me when I asked for a different shape (I like my nails flat/​straight across and she made them pointy)
Then she put a way too hot rock on my calf for a stone massage (slight red mark now)
She started painting my nails before putting my flip flops on (which I brought with me)
When I asked about putting them on then painting, she said she would put them on after (everywhere else I’ve been puts them on before)
Well needless to say she tried to put them on and smudged both big toes. She then gave me what I can only describe as a dirty look, threw mine on the floor, put the disposable ones on me and then exasperated tried to fix my toes. They looked terrible, so I asked for her to clean them completely and start over (which she did)
Getting a pedi should be relaxing, not stressful. Will never go back.

Just gets better and better! I bought my mom a spa mani pedi for Mother’s Day and Tony And the ladies made her feel like a queen! I can’t thank Zen Nails enough!

First time coming here on Sunday as they have good reviews. Kim did my mani and pedi, and it was really nice. I’m definitely coming back!

$ 25 for gel manicure — so reasonable!
First time here, and definitely coming back.
Thank you Kim for listening to me for how I like my nails done!
I’ve been to pretty bad and expensive places where they get gel stuck under the nail but this wasn’t.

Fabulous. And I am extremely picky when it comes to my nails. Definitely worth the drive from my apt. Saw Tony and he was awesome. Can’t wait to go back after the holidays and get a mani pedi.
I went in as a walk in and was seen immediately. Nails came out beautifully and he let me do tests to pick the perfect red for my nails. A week later and they are still perfect.

This has been my go to place for nails! I pay attention to small details, especially when a fingernail is not fully covered with polish, but I have been coming to this salon for quite a few months now without any disappointment! My cousin has been getting her eyebrows done here, and they look phenomenal every time.
Very clean, cozy and a great lively environment. Techs are helpful and very gracious. They also offer complimentary water and soda, along with free wifi! So overall great place to go if you’re in the area!
