La Perfection Nails

This is the only Salon in the area that provides Nexgen nail treatments. This is the only product that I will use for the rest of my life… BTW. Kim is an excellent technician…

I went here because I was in the area and I needed to kill some time to wait for my boyfriend to get out of a meeting. I have a friend that lives in the area so I asked her where she got her nails done and she recommended this place and specifically said to go to the owner’s son. She spoke highly of him and her nails are beautiful! So of course. despite all these terrible reviews on Unilocal,I went anyway. I feel terrible writing a bad review but I just can’t believe I didn’t walk out the first 10 minutes I was there.
Excited to try nexgel instead of gel polish. Unprofessional and very rude staff. Sloppy pedicures. Rough with the mechanical file. Hate using the word drill, but I might as well since it really felt like he was drilling passed my cuticles and onto my skin. Said that I shouldn’t watch him do it since it’s all in my head that it was hurting. Really? Stop. My fingers were burning in the salt water I was in when I was at the beach afterwards that day. Annoying. When I showed him that he was taking skin off of my finger, he said «Well it’s not like it’s bleeding.» … Wow. Talks negatively about other clients and very condescending. Made me feel stupid for asking questions about a service I’ve never had done before too. Just. he was just extremely rude. You wanna try and see for yourself? Go ahead. Good luck. But read the rest of the low reviews on this place to really make sure if you want to go.

HORRIBLE. I went to go get my nails done here on Monday and I had 3 broken nails by Wednesday. Then when I called, the women inspire to told me I didn’t have to make an appointment and to just call when I arrived. I then called back to confirm and someone else told me the only day that I could come in, was too far out. Don’t waste your time. Save yourself the aggravation.

I’ll start by saying, this was my first time trying NexGen and I love it. It’s beautiful and shiny and lasting forever. Now for the bad.
They’re rude here. I called before coming in to ask some questions. I said «Hi, could you tell me some more information on the NexGen manicure?» and all the man who answered the phone said was «It isn’t called a NexGen manicure, its just called NexGen». Seriously? Seriously. Whatever. I really wanted to try it so I went in anyway. They were loud, jabbered at eachother and ignored me the entire time I was in there. One of the girls who worked on my nails drilled way too close to my cuticles numerous times and I had to pull my hand away. I asked her not to file them because I liked the length and shape already… she said «I’ll file them a little». Like… just no. Excuse me but I am paying you for a service so you’ll do it the way I ask.
I waited around to pay for the service for maybe 7 minutes at the front counter before someone said «Pick a color.» I said «I’ve been here for over an hour I need to pay.». Should’ve just walked out if they cant keep track of their customers DESPITE having more employees in there than customers. He was rude to me when I chose to pay with a credit card (its 2015 people, hardly anybody pays or carries cash anymore so just evolve with the rest of us). To top it all off, I handed him a $ 10 for the tip (2 separate girls worked on my nails)… He stared at and then said «…you want me to split this between them.?». Like yeah, its not that hard. Oh, and you’re welcome for the greater-​than-​20% tip… you didn’t earn it.

I stopped in for a quick pedicure a couple of weeks ago because I didn’t have time to go to my regular salon and was very disappointed with the service. I had a gentleman (didn’t get his name) and he was a little rough with the nail-​cutting and cuticle trimming. He cut one of the nails so deeply, that my toe hurt for a few days afterwards. I am going back to me regular salon, not caring that it costs more. Some things are just worth paying extra for. To be quite honest, I don’t even know if the foot tub was cleaned out prior to my use.
Suffice it to say — you get what you pay for.

This salon is the only salon I’ll ever trust to get my nails done. Service is fast, interior is clean, friendly staff and they are the very few in the Middlesex area that offers Nextgen nails! If you haven’t tried them before you’re missing out, they’re better than acrylic and gel.

I really do like this nail salon. I literally travel 45 minutes to get a nexgen full set… Everyone is pretty accommodating and nice… Most nail techs will chat with you. I enjoy them a lot. The reason for the three star is because today I experience my first «Eeeeewwww» moment here. I came in for a pedicure, and when I put my feet in the water it was too cold. My nail tech wasn’t there yet… So one of the techs who was working with someone else adjusted the knob. Before telling me to put my feet in again… SHE TOOK HER HAND… WHICH WAS ON SOMEONES FEET CLIPPING SKIN OFF… AND STUCK IT IN MY WATER!!! She expected me to put my foot in there… NOT! You just don’t cross contaminate your clients water like that! Idk if that woman has foot fungal disease… And she doesn’t know my feet either.

If you want to have your fingers all cut up and a manicure that looks like it was done by a child, then you’ve come to the right place! I gave it 3 tries and each time wasn’t better than the last. I heard about La Perfection nails from my co-​worker, she told me they carry Nexgen. Nexgen is a powder (similar to Acrylics) that is healthier for your nails. This place is not the cleanest… it is a bit run down.
For my 1^st visit, I made an appointment with my friend. The owner’s brother-​in-​law did my nails, and he did horrible. Don’t get me wrong, he was a very sweet and nice guy, but when it came to my nails, he did a sloppy job. He took an hour and 15 minutes! When he was done, my manicure looked like someone just threw paint on it and it spilled over.
The 2^nd visit, I requested the nail tech named, Lawn. I saw that she did a much better job the 1^st time I was there. Lawn was very quick and pretty precise with Nexgen. The only complain I have is she cut my finger when she was using the drill on my nails.
I requested Lawn again for today’s appointment, and she cut me again! This time, it was with the cuticle trimmer. If it wasn’t for Chinese New Year, I would’ve waited another week and found another salon to go to. The nail techs here are careless and sloppy… I will not be going back to La Perfection nails.

This place is sometimes fantastic and sometimes alright. Most of the time they do a good job but if they are in rush to get you out of the chair, forget about it. But I love Lisa. She is super super nice and always does a good job with nexgen nails. She is amazing. I recommend her all the way! Also I recommend nexgen, even though they sand your nail away, it lasts up to three weeks. My nails grew so long, I loved it. They have so many different colors too.

I came here yesterday and got NEXGEN ! Best decision ever. At first, I was kind of skeptical because I was always used to getting gel, but let me tell you ! It is def worth it. It looks more natural than gel and it actually covers your whole nail. I would def recommend this place to anyone looking to try this new way of doing the «gel» manicure. This is the only place in town that I know of that does this and its def. worth it. It is also very fast to do and its way better for your nails than gel is.

Worse pedicure I’ve ever gotten. $ 20 for a 20 minute pedicure… Didn’t clean my cuticles or massage really… It’s that the basics!

Horrible experience here today! The only reason I am giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 is because I have been going here sporadically for the past 10 years and not every experience has been as bad as tonight’s.
I went in for a regular manicure last week… Soaked off my gel and got just a regular mani to give my nails a break. The lady was nice and she suggested NexGen the next time…
So I went in tonight and I did not get the same lady, but the person I had CUT ME A FEW TIMES! And more enraging is the fact that she tried to tell me it was because I moved. Lady, this was not my 1^st manicure. She was rude and then proceeded to get the liquid in my cut! OWWWWWWW! It was definitely alcohol based and it hurt a lot. Not one apology. I grit my teeth and got through it. At the end she said I was better off getting regular manicures because I couldn’t handle the electric filing! The nerve of her… My fingers still hurt now 2 hours later.
I have never written such an angry review but this place is horrible and the woman that did my nails tonight should be fired.
Only positive point was that ANOTHER employee there took my payment and noted my discontent, and apologized for the woman that did my nails. She took a few bucks off my total. She did not have to do that, but again, that’s why this place 2 stars from me instead of 1.

Tip: I didn’t realize that the manicure colors by the door were mostly the «reject colors». Most of their higher quality polishes are hidden on the right side of the wall that divides the place, but of course they didn’t tell me that when they told me to «pick a color»…
Even though I was seated right away, the technician gave unclear directions, she was rough with my nails, the nail polish was old and sticky, and the supplies she used clearly had not been cleaned.
For $ 12 (which I think is too high for a manicure) you don’t even get the «salon» experience — they were hasty with the service and there are so many fluorescent lights, electrical nail buffers, and face masks hanging around that it feels more like a hospital than a nail salon.

This place is horrible. I had to beg them for packaged/​sterilized tools and they became very belligerent. I have been here twice, both times suffered cuts. They are unprofessional and unsanitary.

If you don’t mind rude staff; the prices are reasonable. Bottom line, I’m not going back there!
