Tek Nails & Spa

Upon walking in I immediately felt good about this place. Simply decorated, comfortable, and clean. Also big brownie points that Ellen was on the large TV. Who doesn’t want to watch Ellen during a pedi? I had the Spa pedicure today. My only complaint is that the water was cold. Not even really luke warm. But my feet were rarely in the water since they had so many different treatments going on. Hot oil, hot towels, massage, a good scrub. It was very relaxing. Again, it’s a very gentle massage. I’m moving away from my old nail salon, and there they did a very firm massage. So that’s one thing I did slightly miss. Everyone inside was very friendly, I didn’t feel rushed at all. Prices are on the higher side but you get a lot more here with a spa pedicure than you do most nail places in this area. So I say it’s worth it.

So, the first time I went here, I had never had my nails done before. I went in there with a picture of what I wanted (full acrylic set) and walked out with what I thought was a very basic, and very high-​priced gel manicure on my natural nails. I didn’t know that a full set was called a full set… And the technician of course spoke very little English, so it was miscommunication on both parts. I walked out of there very annoyed that I didn’t get what I wanted, and also dropped $ 30 on it. Gel manicure is $ 25, and I gave her a $ 5 tip. Time went on and I grew to really like my gel manicure. It lasted two weeks before ONE finger started to peel. AND I work with food all day… Constant gloves, and washing hands. I was extremely surprised. I figure the high price must be a good product.
Two co-​workers of mine go there, and they gave me the recommendation. I still REALLY wanted a full set. So, I decided to give them another go, even though my sister argued that this place was over-​priced. Because she got her full set at Foxy Nails on Bridge Street in Lowell for $ 20, and a fill is $ 13. As opppswd to $ 30 for a full set here and $ 18 for a fill. My 2^nd go at Tek I told the technician that I wanted a full set… Showed her a picture of what I wanted. She helped me match up the polishes… And she did an awesome job. She was Caucasian and spoke good English. She really took her time. Made sure everything was the way that I wanted it.
I am pleased with my full set and will come back for a fill.
