Paris Model Nail

The WORST place ever! They do not take their time to make sure your nails are nice and done properly. They left acrylic all over my fingers not to mention nail polish on the skin around my nails, 2 days later after having my nails done they look like SHIT SHIT SHIT. Nail polish is already coming off, nails filed unevenly I WILL NEVER come here again. Take it from me, FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE! They even cut 2 of my fingers filing my nails. THIS PLACE SUCKS and it is VERY DIRTY!!!

When I moved to the area 8 months ago, I called maybe 20 places to see if they could do my nails. I get my nails done a very specific way that most salons are unaware of how to do it or don’t want to deal with hearing customers complain at the cost (it isn’t cheap). I tried a salon on Newbury st and paid top dollar for the worst nail experience of my life. The lady messed up my design and told me to skeet because her next client was coming. Never again.
Found this place and never looked back. Inexpensive and my nails are always on point. People keep complaining about it being dirty and ghetto but that had nothing to do with how they do nails.

This is my go-​to nail salon spot. They do a very good job doing my nails, they’re good at doing designs on your fingernails and toenails. They’re one of the very few Asians that are polite and don’t make you feel uncomfortable, as in, they don’t talk trash about other people in their language (that I know of). They’re good nail stylists & good people. 4 stars!

Dirty, dirty, dirty. Not sure how this place still operates. Yes, the staff was friendly for a nail salon. But she was eating hard boiled eggs doing my nails. Disgusting. Prices are good but I’ll gladly pay the extra $ 3 for a fill in a more sanitary salon.

The salon is very, very dirty which makes me not wanna go back. Also, every time I try to use my card they say the card is broken-​how is the card broken when it works anywhere else but there? They want cash so they say the card doesn’t work so the customer has to go to the ATM. I understand to pay the tip in cash but I think if I pay by card for the service it should be fine — they just don’t wanna pay the fee associated with the card…
Also, I truly believe people can get diseases from there.

I feel like nail saloons make a killing on us women and it’s hard to find one that’s fairly priced these days, but I think my search is over!
I got a pedicure here, that lasted about 3 – 4 weeks, well painted toes always lifts my spirits! The message was nice and the hot towel wrap was a perfect ending — all for a wappong 22 $
Yes, I will be returning & may try getting a manicure as well ;)

I read the bad reviews but needed a mani bad and this was the closest place within walking distance. And honestly, I’ve been to enough (ghetto) nail salons to know not to judge a salon by its cover.
But it turns out that Paris Model #2 hooked a sista up! Service was actually friendly and what was even better was my Shellac manicure — I loved it! Nina, the girl who did my nails checked with me what shape I wanted and asked again after filing my raggedy nails whether I was okay with the shape. Folks, she was so careful that when she was done with filing, she actually held each finger’s nail next to the corresponding nail on my other hand (pinky next to pinky, thumb next to thumb, etc.) to ensure they were even and the same length! If you get your nails done frequently, you’ll know how rare this is.
Another example of how exceptional Nina was was how she consistently painted the tip of the nail on each of my fingers without my prompting (yes, I’m that girl who is not shy about giving my manicurist very specific instructions when necessary). I’m talking about the edge at the top of your nail that most manicurists skip or only paint haphazardly.
So when all was finished, my nails looked smashing AND it cost $ 25! Nina and the boss dude both smiled and thanked me, which as far as I’m concerned is above and beyond standard nail salon practice. Overall, my experience at this place was excellent.

Okayyy — - after reading the awful reviews on here, I will swoop in with a 4-​star review and give this place a little credit.
Let me just address the issue in the other reviews first, that the owners/​employees bring their kids here. You know what? Whatever– who cares? When I went in, there was a little boy there, and he happened to be pretty adorable, so it didn’t bother me.
Anyway, I went in wanting a shellac manicure, recently disappointed w/​my +$ 60 one from MiniLuxe in Newton, which didn’t even last 1 ½ weeks. They said they do shellac, but as it turns out, they do UV gel manicures (the Gelish brand). Okay– didn’t bother me, I thought I’d try it since I wasn’t happy w/​shellac anyway.
Well, wow– it’s been over 2 weeks now and my french tip gel manicure still looks FLAWLESS. It’s gotten to the point where I am giving my hands extra wear just wondering if my polish will go, but nope– still going strong!
The only slight, slight complaint is that my middle right finger is filed slightly unevenly, which only I would notice, but still.
Anyway, it was $ 30 plus $ 5 tip, so what a bargain for flawless nails lasting over 2 weeks! This place is a walkable distance to me, so I am definitely going back for regular manicures here. =D

I have been to Paris Nails twice now, and both times I have been very satisfied with the quality of the service. The pedicure I got lasted me for several weeks before even beginning to chip. I was also impressed with how quickly I was able to get a mani-​pedi — 40 minutes! — and it looks great! I did have to pluck a few tiny stray hairs after my eyebrow wax, but that’s just my compulsiveness. Overall, it’s a nice family-​run place and being just a few blocks down from my apartment, I definitely see myself going back regularly.

Ok… normally, I have my usual nail place (My Nail Salon in Boston — love it) but I was feening for a pedicure and Paris Nails is convenient to my house…
So at first glance, the place is typical… not exactly top-​notch, but I figured, let’s give it a shot (after doing a mental confirmation that my tetanus was up-​to-​date).
I told them that I was just interested in a pedicure and one of the ladies tried to convince me to get the same nails as the woman next to me… I declined… I don’t really think I can rock inch-​long acryillics filed to sharp points and painted red, white and blue with silver glitter on top…
Moving on… I’m seated for my pedicure and I notice that directly across from me is a baby playpen. Wait, double-​take? Did I just say a baby playpen? What the hell? It has cardboard surrounding it on all four sides… blankets strung over the top… is the baby some sort of Quasimodo or are you trying to make up for your bad parenting by keeping some of the noxious chemical fumes out of your baby’s nostrils? Suddenly… the crib starts shaking… Quasimodo wants OUT. But hey, baby… Mommy is doing my pedicure, so shhh, go back to sleep… I’m sure the fumes will knock you out momentarily…

ghett-​o.
