Lexington Nails & Spa

Gel manicures last me 2 solid weeks (others normally only last me barely 1 ½… I’m tough on my nails) and staff is friendly and helpful. I have become a repeat customer and stopped going to my other salon because the prices here are so worth it for the quality manicures

I am not easy to please! I’m very picky and a little crazy! But Cathy takes care of me every time! I have been seeing her for three years and she is always consistent. The nail salon is very clean, quite, and relaxing. They have plenty of colors and always stay up to date with the latest collections.

I always end up back here. It is 20 min drive where other places are 2 min away but the quality of work, dedication, and them doing your nails without being obnoxious about getting more services or coming back to spend more is refreshing. Their prices are comparable and given the quality of their work, you save. High marks for this salon.

Very fast, clean, reseaonable and nice! GOOD work too, the location has plenty of parking right behind the Historical Society.

I often jump around to different nail salons although I do have a couple favorites. I mostly go for pedicures with an occasional manicure here and there. Lexington Nails is local and convenient so I figured I would give it a shot. My experience was decent and my toes look great, but I guess it was just an average pedi. I was torn on the amount of stars to give. I feel I have had better service at the four star rating, but felt three stars was unfair. The salon was very busy and it seemed there were a lot of «regulars» at the shop so they must be doing something right.
The staff is kind and attentive, but not overly friendly or enthusiastic. The price for the pedi was about average at $ 30. I thought the salon was clean, but the environment was a bit dull and not super relaxing or comfortable. I just feel there was something missing for me, but like I said earlier, my toes do look great.

I’ve been loyal to this place for almost 10years. I live in the city now and I still come all the way to Lexington just to get my nails done. They always make sure you get what you want, the staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. I’ve had such bad experiences any time I go to other nail salons so I always end up coming back here.

Staff seemed kind. Shop was busy (a good sign)! My problem that I needed a fill of pink and white right away. Decided not to wait for the person who could accommodate me later.

Just went there for the first time. I work nearby and usually go to a different spot but my normal nail person was completely booked. I was taken right away and it was very busy. It’s clean and neat and fresh and bright. I am not sure what the name of the woman who did my nails was but she was quiet and polite and friendly enough. I am not much of a chatty person when I get my nails done so I was fine with this. Lots of people came in and out and many new the drill of grabbing polish and waiting in certain spaces so they have a pretty loyal appointment base. The manicure cost $ 14 and it looks wonderful. She had me dry the color and then put on the clear coat and then dried that after which was new to me and made it look great and dry well. I am beyond pleased and will be back! Just remember to bring cash tips even though they take credit. I had to come back with more cash! I am considering going back again in a week for a pedicure and having it done with shellac since they do that too. Great place. Oh and they seem kid friendly too. A girl about 10 was waiting and 2 others came in and out.

My top choice for a pedicure in Lexington. They are efficient and friendly and reasonably priced. Make an appt, you will not regret it.

This place is not what I was told it was going to be. I had an appointment and I was not seen on time and on top if that, there was a worker who was straggling around. She could have at least gotten me started on my appointment. Ridiculous!

DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON!!! Beware, this salon is terrible. I used to go there for acrylic fills and they used to lift after one week-​ridiculous! And when I told them what was happening, I was either laughed at or blamed («it must be your soap/​perfume» etc.) B***S***!! They staff is rude and not helpful. The skin was often cut around my nails after the fills, once leading to an infection. That was that last time I went there. I am surprised that people even still go here… it is shocking that the high-​end clientele in Lexington would put up with such poor service and attitudes.

With so many great reviews, I thought I would give it a try… never again!!! Not only are they unfriendly but the results are subpar at best! Had a gel manicure and on the fourth day starting chipping… what!!! Was informed that with their technique of application, they guarantee for two weeks against any chipping. (Ive been getting gel manicures for years and never have I had chipping!) I thought maybe I had hit my nail or something so I just filed it down… then another and another and another! 5 nails chipped by day 10. Finally had a chance to call and ask about the guarantee… was told to come by so they could ‘look’ which I did (actually expecting to have them redone) and was told to make an appt for the next day which, again, I did. Just when they were about to begin, the girl who originally had done my nails (and I had spoken to several times about it) came over and told me they would not honor the guarantee and it was now ‘for one week’ and I should have come as soon as chipping began. (Couldn’t have told me this before making making two trips?!) Well, I agree, I should have (besides the fact that I hate chipped nails, hence… gel), however, being such a busy season I did not have the chance and was originally told two weeks. What I found to be most disturbing was not the fact that I have to get my nails done again but their deceptive (and frankly poor) approach to it. There are so many clean, friendly nail salons in Lexington… do yourself a favor and take this one off your list.

Seriously? Best of Boston? This place is gross. The technicians are are unenthused, the color choices are fair and frankly the work is sub-​par. It’s just filthy — greasy, not cleaned and a pretty unpleasant experience. Nothing relaxing about it.

overall very good. clean. efficient. did great cleaning up my cuticles. not much for conversation but that was ok.

I was a little worried b/​c of the comment one woman made about getting cut. However, I had no problems with that. Very clean, got me in right away, nice massage chairs. My only gripes: the woman who worked on me did not speak English very well so hard to communicate and it was more expensive than I was expecting: $ 35 for a pedicure.

I moved to the Lexington area about a year ago and have been going to Lexington Nails for pedicures (every few months) since I got here. For $ 30 (for a pedicure), it’s a pretty good deal. One reviewer noted that they do designs — I need to check that out. I’ve never had them even ask if I wanted a design.
It’s not a place where you’ll feel super pampered, but it’s very clean, and I’ve always had a good paint job coming out of there. Further, I’ve never had them cut my nails/​cuticles down to the point of pain or bleeding (a definite plus). The only reason I took one star off is because I always feel like the ladies there weren’t very friendly (don’t get me wrong — they’re not rude either). But, I’ll definitely keep going back because I feel like you get a quality pedicure for a good price.

I have been going here since the week it opened. These women are amazing at their job. They are also incredibly dedicated to quality. The business is family run, so I can understand why some people may be upset at not receiving «undivided attention», but I’d rather get a good manicure from a kind person in a clean shop than have someone sit with me the whole time. They even do designs! Often for free if they are simple enough.
They do take Walk-In’s but they are often very busy, so I would call ahead, especially if it is for something like gels or a mani-​pedi.
Manicure is 12 dollars, no too bad for Lexington.
Plus they play soaps…

If you’re looking for some serious cuticle grooming, this is the place to go. It’s the main reason I am a client, because they are so thorough. Though I’ve never gotten nicked or had blood drawn like the previous reviewers experience, I have noticed the tech looking in other directions from time to time while working on my toes. But I will say, they are big into sterilization and sanitation and that makes all the difference when it comes to the occasional nick.

While getting a pedicure, I actually texted my friend and said, «I feel like I’m going to need antibiotics after this pedicure.» Well, 24 hours later, the two spots on my feet where she cut me (yes, blood!) are red and inflamed, and it’s painful to walk. At the time of the pedicure, the woman seemed very rushed and distracted. Every time someone walked by or into the salon, she turned to look, while still cutting. She made me bleed twice, and when I asked why it was hurting so much, she just apologized. I get pedicures every 3 weeks, so my feet are in good condition, and I’ve never ever been in pain after a pedicure. An infection can turn into something pretty serious, so I’ll keep an eye on this. Until then, neosporin and fingers crossed it doesn’t get worse. I’d cross my toes, but they hurt too much to move. Needless to say, I’ll never recommend this place.

Very clean, nice place to get a quick mani & pedi. It’s Vietnamese-​owned, but is step above the normal nail salons. The owner, Tammy, is totally sweet & wonderful, and the staff is well-​trained. Not a lot of chatter so you can enjoy a nice, calm environment in their new, fancy spa chairs.
The BEST feature is they store your very own box of nail equipment if you’re a regular customer, which includes a cuticle cutter, file, & smoothing block. Talk about sterile and low-​risk of bacterial infection!
It’s a small shop, so call ahead for an appointment. The quality of their mani/​pedis is stellar… great paint jobs, and they don’t cut too much of your cuticle to the point where it bleeds!
Well worth the lower cost of $ 40 total for BOTH a mani/​pedi. There’s no need to go to a fancy day spa for a $ 60 pedicure. Just come here.
