manipedi

I went here last week with my friend to get our nails done for our friends wedding. they wouldnt let us sit together because she had arrived before me. I felt very rushed to pick a color and as she was standing over me the whole time. I got an express mani for $ 15.00 which is a bit expensive for basically a polish change. Throughout the appointment other manicurists were coming up around us and talking to each other, and it made me very uncomfortable.
My friends manicurist wouldnt let her get the same color as me because my nails werent finished and it seemed as though she was in a rush. They put us in a position where we felt that we were bothering them.
we wanted a relaxing time before the wedding and it was not what we received. I will not be going back.

After hearing many positive reviews, I decided to give ManiPedi a try! Initially excited, I was extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with my finished nails.
Although the lady was friendly and welcoming, she completely rushed doing my nails and did NOT focus on the smaller details at all.
1.) the sides of my nails are extremely MESSY– with some parts not even colored
2.) the part near my cuticles are UNEVEN and LIGHT in color
3.) even with the second coat, some of my nails are NOT rich with color
I understand that I was the last customer and it was a very busy day. However, given the expensive price they charge, they shouldn’t rush and value EVERY customer. I will definitely NEVER be going back again.

Overpriced. More expensive than your average gel manicure. I think the only reason why was a small neck rub, which was super fast. Nice atmosphere but not worth the extra money at all.

Points for cleanliness (it was spotless; instruments came out of sterilizer bags) and good smelling soaps and lotions, but for those prices it felt like not enough pampering. It felt a little too assembly line. And even though I got the full pedicure, I spend more time massaging lotion into my often get just to deal with dry feet. My biggest complaint was that the «pattern» we paid for for my 8 year old’s nails was just one sticker on each hand. And at first the stickers were peeling off. (This if because even though I’d said pattern from the beginning, they hadn’t heard me it had forgotten, so they just stuck them on after the oil). They were going to just push them back down, repeatedly, and send us off, but I insisted they fix it. Even so, when you get a pattern with a manicure, they are supposed to paint it on. But my daughter LOVED IT there; she was thrilled. And our nails look great. But I definitely won’t be returning. Nor would I recommend it given the options out there.

Bliss!!! Lemon spa pedicure was absolute heaven in this clean, calm and friendly atmosphere.

I have tried this salon a few times. I really like the workers, they are very nice! I really wanted this salon to work because it’s a 2 minute walk from where I live.
Positive: 1. They have great colors and a great variety! 2. They almost always are able to take a walk-​in, despite always being very busy. They also accept appointments. 3. It’s a cute shop! 4. They have a lot of options for spa pedicures and manicures! 5. If you pay in cash they give you a visit punch card. Each $ 15 spent gets you closer to a free manicure.
NEGATIVES: 1. They have cut my nails too short. 2. They have cut my nails crooked. 3. I have had a manicure and pedicure (on two separate occasions) not dry. The first time I thought I may have rushed it. They seemed dry. I then put my hands in my pockets (it was winter and cold) and they came out messed up. The second time (Today) I stayed under the dryers for 20 minutes. I put my shoes on because the polish seemed dried, when i took my shoes off my nail polish was completely messed up! I understand there could be a few nicks, but I have never had this problem at another salon. I really wanted this place to work out. I will not be going back :(.

I loved going here– it was my first time and the pedicure was excellent. When it got to my nails, I decided to do gel, but they weren’t left to heat long enough, so one of my nails has streaks. Also, the wax burnt my eyebrows, damn that was hot!
I really liked the lady who did my manicure, and they have a card to eventually get a free manicure when you pay cash, which is an added bonus.
The massage & paraffin wax were excellent touches.

Best place in Wellesley for nail care! Great color selection, great location. Great atmosphere– comfortable chairs and spacious spa.
Slow service but once they get to you its good.

Great staff and love the shoulder rub but the gel manis never last. Mine starting chipping after 3 days. I usually get a solid 2 weeks out of a gel mani.

I have to say the service is great and the staff is spectacular, also the space is every clean, which counts for a lot.
There is a lot of useless accoutrements — meaning treatments that don’t really do anything (i.e. Paraffin wax dip– cool, but useless), but raise the price.
Yes, you get free drinks and coffee, but it’s not worth the overall upcharge.
I paid $ 93 with tip for a plain pedicure and gel nails, with no extras. NINETY THREE –that’s A LOT even by my standards.
I can pay nearly half that for equivalent service in any number of places.
It’s just too much, even for Wellesley. It’s not luxury. It’s just slightly better than average.
I read that they charge for gel removal? Which is crazy, Bc in every other salon that is just standard operating procedure, as you cannot do gel nails without removing the initial set. Weird.

Today I went I with my aunt, cousin and sister and could not be happier with our experience! We called ahead and made an appointment but someone joined at the last second and they took us no problem! My cousin recently got surgery on her knee and is in a wheelchair so we were nervous about her being in there and being able to get a manicure! They are very accommodating and just wheeled her up to the bar where they paint nails. I was so pleased she was able to get her nails done with us even though she can’t sit normally.
I got a gel mani and it was awesome. Cici did it for me and she did such a clean and nice job. My sister and cousin got manicures and they loved them as well. My aunt got a pedicure and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Although the nails are priced on the higher side, I can see why. They do a great job and offer many upgrades and extras. The staff was very nice, professional and accommodating making it a relaxing visit. Finally, the salon itself was great and I loved the layout! Very unique, clean place and will definitely visit again!

Went last minute on a late Saturday morning. It was busy. But i was able to be seen right away. Décor is beautiful and pleasing, which is important to me. I wanted a pedi and chose the Lemon spa treatment for 60 $. Being this is Wellesley Square, i expect these kind of prices. The experience did not disappoint and my pedicurist was a lovely person and did a very thorough and clean job. First time in a while that someone did not make my toes bleed whilst cutting my cuticles, and for that alone, i will be a returning customer. Well worth the money to splurge on one’s self.

I’m not one to write reviews, but I had an excellent mani-​pedi today and I was pleased with the attention to detail. I usually go to a place in Sudbury, but I figured I’d check this place out since I work in the area and it was less expensive than where I usually go. Additionally, being able to book online is a huge plus! Very pleased! Thanks again!

Horrible experience today at Mani Pedi. I have been several times and have to say never been all that impressed. I find them rude and abrasive but today took the cake! Went in for mani and pedi. Maggie was the tech. Over the course of my pedi she was very rushed and rough and several times I ask that she go easy. She didn’t listen.
Next it was time for the mani. They didn’t have enough seats and had to sit in pedi chair which was nice and comfy. Finally moved to tall tables and once again it hurt and told her so, no change. Went to the paraffin «pond» and she got the wax all over my bracelets. Maybe my bad for not taking them off but pushed them back far enough it shouldn’t have been an issue. Just sloppy. The mani in the end looked like a 5 year old did it. When I was done with my service I contemplated not tipping at all since a tip is for good or exceptional service and it certainly was neither but left a meager tip. As I was leaving the salon the kid behind the counter stopped me and said «did you tip Maggie?» I said «yes why», he said «no you didn’t. You need to tip her», I was horrified as this was in front of the entire salon.
Since when is it ok to demand a tip. First of all I did give her one and it was a lousy one I admit but don’t you dare confront me about it.
Ryan K. Unilocal says you are the salon owner and I suggest you reevaluate your customer service model as it is flawed and won’t get you very far. I for one will never come back and have told all my friends in Wellesley about what happened and they won’t be back either. Good luck. Hope it was worth another couple of bucks.

Nice ambience
Unsatisfactory job!
Despite advising the person to handle the pedicure, she said this is the best she could do!
As good as not having gone there!

My shellac (not with OPI) lasted over a month. Professional technicians, fair prices and I walked in and out. Seems like a paraffin hand treatment in included with most nail services.

Tiffany gave me a perfect full manicure after a professional gel removal, left me clean cuticle and shiny nails. I also love the hand wax and shoulder massage, so relaxing. And the salon is clean and lovely. Best manicure in Metro West Area so far. Will definitely be a regular client and recommend it to my friends!

Leaving this place feeling like a king! The staff was super nice and super professional. Made even me, a manly man, comfortable in a female dominant setting.
I brought my mom here today and we both got a manicure pedicure. The service was thorough, gentle and comfortable. Interior of this place was clean and serene with soothing classical music playing in the background. With this symphony, I drifted away into paradise as my toes and hands are pampered.
Management was super nice and helped with our selection. Overall, great experience and I would recommend it to anyone, man or woman, who wants a quality, relaxing manicure and pedicure.

My experience was pleasant and there is a large color selection. A regular pedicure without the full leg massage is $ 29 (kind of pricey but I didn’t want the leg massage so it was fine for me). Not sure how much a full pedicure (w/​massage) would cost. Didn’t realize the massage would cost extra; I think this is usually part of a regular pedicure. Overall good but perhaps for the price, I may not try again.
Good for a girls thing where you are not concerned about how much you’re spending.

I had the best manicure and pedicure experience at this salon. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent service. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and professional. There are free refreshments and a very relaxing and clean ambiance. I would 100% attend this salon in the future.
