Iris Nail Spa

Wonderful! Probably the best pedicure and gel manicure I’ve ever gotten!

I’m new to the area, and so was looking for a nearby nail salon. This place is a little more expensive than I’m used to ($ 45 for a mani/​pedi) but they’re lovely and did a good job. Recommended.

By far the best place I’ve ever been for a mani pedi. I’ve now gone three times and each time the service is consistently good. They go above and beyond most typical nail salons. The standard pedicure includes multiple scrubs, leg and foot massages and paraffin wax on your heel. Their manicures also all include a scrub treatment, full hand paraffin wax treatment and hand massage, but they also give two nice back rubs throughout the manicure while you are in your chair waiting for the coat of polish and hand wax to dry. And the work on the nails themselves is fabulous. My last gel manicure there lasted me 3 weeks with no chipping or peeling! And finally, I like a place that is thorough and relaxing but doesn’t take so long that you feel like you have to be there all day and start to get antsy– and Iris checks that box as well. I can be in and out in 1 hr 15 min for a mani and pedi and they do a beautiful job. Love this place, I won’t be going anywhere else!

AMAZING!!! They spent 2.5 hours on my nails after acrylics ruined my nails. They have a new non-​nail damaging uv nails. They look as close to real as I’ve seen. I wish I had found this place prior to putting on acrylics. The shop was super clean and inviting. Everyone was friendly and the added neck/​shoulder massage was a perk! I would highly recommend this place and plan on going back for mani/pedi’s in the future.

I consider myself a serial nail salon customer. I find a place, I like them for a while and then they do something to piss me off or for some reason or another I need to move on. I’m happy to say I’ve found THE ONE. They’ve been open almost a year now and they have only gotten better with time!
While they were fabulous from the beginning, they’ve repainted, hired more staff and seem to always have something new going on. I’m there almost once a week as I opt for regular polish as opposed to gel. The owners Young and Kevin are truly one of a kind. They really make sure their customers are happy and appreciated. I recommend calling ahead for an appointment as they’ve gotten much busier since my last review.

Loved the place, very clean and their added touches to their pedicures were great. Highly recommend

I read all the great reviews and decided to try this place. Big mistake. It’s nasty unsanitary and ridiculously unprofessional. There’s no sterilized individual sets of instruments instead they just pick from the bowl whatever’s available and was just used on bunch of other people, everyone gets to deep in the same bath of parafine wax –nasty! Their massages are painful and nothing like a pro massage. Slappy job putting on polish and the guy put nail separator upside down lol. And all of this for $ 45. Such a waste of money, but what’s worth risk to pick a disease. People what are you thinking giving them such a good reviews???

Gotta say — it lived up to its 5-​star rating! The male mani/​pedi staff were great! Very attentive, detailed, and they pulled out all the stops — calf and foot massage, shoulder and hand massage, exfoliation, paraffin wax treatment. The only suggestion I would have is for softer towels.

Love going there. They use great products that smell wonderful. It’s s bit expensive and they advise you make appointments, but I’ve always just walked in. I’ve had mostly great experiences there and the staff is wonderful, but my last gel manicure there chipped after just 3 days.

I had my first visit yesterday and will most definitely be going back. The staff was all so friendly and atmosphere was quiet and calm. I got a gel manicure that came out beautiful!

This was my first time coming here and I will definitely be back. Mellow music, super clean (they used a liner in the pedicure tub) & friendly.

I would drive 30 minutes to get a mani-​pedi here. I’ve gone to much more expensive places and not gotten as good a service: you leave here feeling pampered with a terrific nail job that lasts for long time. I’m only upset I found out about it as I’m getting ready to move away from MA.

Best nail spa I have found in past six years since I have been in this country. They take there time and don’t rush through. Kevin was beyond amazing. Highly highly recommend this place.

Quality all around. The nail artists are so kind and social! The quality of the shellac manicure is high and the pampering is unbelievable!
to the area and you there is no place else that will give you a shoulder and back massage while your hands are drying in paraffin wax. for no extra charge! Can’t wait to go back in a few weeks!

Iris Nails is a great escape! In my first visit, i was greeted by Young who set me up in a massaging pedicure chair. I got a spa pedicure with honey scrub and ten minute leg and foot massage from Mia, an excellent and friendly technician.
While my toes were drying, Mia gave me a quick shoulder massage — so relaxing.
The salon is extremely clean, tools were sterilized, there was no strong nail salon odor, and the music was contemporary but chill. Highly recommend!

What a great new spot in the area! Clean, friendly, timely and convenient. Prices are standard, but it felt like a lot more was included than in the usual mani/​pedi services I’m used to. They do an awesome hot wax treatment on your hands and heels that feels AMAZING and leaves your skin soft and smooth. They also give you a lovely shoulder massage while your nails are drying. Instead of UV lights that make your skin age, they have powerful fans that dry your nails just as fast. I took my mom here for her birthday and they gave her a free hand cream. Great spot, definitely recommended. I’ll be back!

Extremely good service… I am impressed! I have never had such a good gel manicure in Boston. I highly recommend this place. Exceeds all expectations

As a self proclaimed nail connoisseur, I feel I’ve earned my title given nail maintenance is a staple in my monthly budget, much like rent. But more important… duh.
To say I am «picky» about my nails is a vast understatement. I live in Waltham and I typically make a weekly trip 20 miles «that way» to Saugus and hit up my «home away from home» for my mani pedis. From time to time I’ll check out a local salon but, there’s never been a technician that’s even been able to come close to «my gal» in Saugus.
Until now…
A friend of mine urged me to try this salon, it took me about two months to even acknowledge their existence. I’ll be honest, it took three attempts but, they’ve got «it».
My first trip I had Kim, she listened to every detail of how I like my nails done; as short as possible, round edges and NO cuticles (now you know too…). I’d say she did firm 8 out of 10. Enough to go back.
My second trip I had Young (who, I believe is one of the owners). Again, listened to every detail, another 8 out of 10. Also enough to go back.
My third trip I had Kevin (who, I believe is also an owner). Kevin also listened to every detail and knocked my manicure out of the park. I was concerned actually, because, does this mean I leave «my girl» for a salon closer to home? OY…
About the salon… clean as a whistle. They’re new, so they have 2 – 3 on staff so you HAVE to book an appointment otherwise, it’s literally hit or miss for a walk in. They have so.much.polish!!! A glorious, magnificent wall of color after color. OPI, Essie, amazing. They even have an equally large gel collection.
The experience… when you walk in, you’re greeted by a big smile and a happy hello followed by a request to pick a color. Once you’re seated you talk about what you’re looking for, and they start their magic. The technicians converse with you, they don’t speak to each other in another language in front of you to make for an awkward experience. Most important: they TAKE THEIR TIME! You’re not just another $ 15 they can make in 20 minutes. In fact, Kevin spent over an hour on my regular manicure to make sure it was perfect. I’ve only had a basic manicure and a pedicure here, for the basic manicure you get a paraffin treatment and a neck massage. For the basic pedicure they also give your heels a paraffin treatment.
I can’t say enough about this salon. I can go on forever, give it a try you’ll love it.

This place is hands down my favorite nail salon I have ever been to (and ive been to a TON)
They are brand new so everything is new and clean and everyone is very friendly. I have had my nails done by kevin a few times-​he is great. They always take extra time and care for each person-​the massage is never rushed. They also offer beverages to anyone who is getting their nails done or waiting.
Aside from Nails they also do eyelash extensions. Young has done my eyelashes and she is AMAZING. they look so natural and gorgeous and the process takes a little over an hour for a full set-​a refill on lashes is about 40 minutes.
if you are in need of a mani, pedi, fill, or want to add some life to your lashes definitly check them out.
Reasonable prices, PARKING LOT, and friendly service!

So I don’t want to go into this prematurely but … I HAVE FOUND MY NEW NAIL PLACE!!! I have seriously been looking around this area for at least a suitable nail place that can do the job and do it well. It is usually more pricy than what I usually pay for but if based on the area, it is comparable and perhaps even better here. I came in wanting a pedicure with gel manicure and it included a paraffin wax for my heels and they also paraffin your hands (so make sure to remove your jewelry at home!!!). I got a mini neck/​shoulder massage while waiting for my hands to dry and it was awesome. It wasn’t too busy so I can see the attention to the customer being very high so I hope it will continue on when they get more customers. I definitely tipped more than I usually do because the customer service was outstanding!
A plus is that there’s a parking lot– yay!!!
Cash tip only!
Everything is completely new. Even when they gave me flip flips to wear for my feet, I saw them cut the tag off.
And afterwards you can pick up dinner or lunch at tri-​city wings since its next door. Win-​win!!!
