Acton Nails Design

I have been here about 20 times. I generally get a simple clear manicure and that has been fine. This last time I had a light color put on. I have had great luck with the woman there but this time I got a young man that did not speak any English. He cut my cuticle and I was bleeding quite a bit with no apology. I dried my nails for 15 minutes and within 15 min. of leaving — 2 chipped off and 2 were smudged. Not sure if it was my fault on that. It seemed that the polish was old and too thick and he put on at least 2 coats. Not sure I will go back… Their prices are less than any one else around with a 12 dollar manicure so guess you get what you pay for!

Mack has been doing my nails for 16 years, he is the best, wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I’ve been coming here for quite awhile. The technician is always pleasant and chats with me during my manicure. It’s not a super fancy or upscale business, but who cares as long as they do a great job on your nails? I’ve always had a really good experience at this shop. The cost is very reasonable, the polish color choices are more than adequate, and the employees are helpful and kind. I’ve had to run in there with no appointment and they never once acted as though I inconvenienced them. Great nail salon.

I wouldn’t even give them a 1 star if it was up to me. Went in for a pedicure; rude from the moment they say me down, equipment was dirty, no communication to me, and the polish selection very limited and many clearly needed to be changed. In addition the paint job was horrific. a five year old would do better ! Not worth the 40 $!!! Don’t go here! I left and went to my usual salon and had them redo everything!

Ive been a few times and its pricey and my nails chipped right away! They rush to get you done when new customers come in the door. So it may start out with lots of attention to detail but it will end up sloppy by the end. Poor customer service too.

Strange… My review was deleted.
Let me do everyone a favor and re-​post.
This is my own fault. I desperately needed a manicure on a Monday so I went here on a whim. Upon walking in, the owner, I’m assuming, looked up at me and didn’t say a word. After telling him I just wanted a manicure, he pointed at the color wall, which held only about 20 polishes. I made my choice and sat down.
The manicure itself wasn’t terrible, but as he was painting my nails I looked down only to see that there was polish all over my cuticles and fingers. I assumed this would be cleaned up after, it wasn’t. He then proceeded to glob on the top coat and send me to the dryer. It wasn’t until I was ready to leave that I noticed there was SO much top coat that it had actually made wrinkle lines and bubbles all over my nails, not to mention the fact that they would NEVER dry.
Needless to say, I ate the 12 $ and ran out of there. Worst manicure EVER.

Awww, I kind of love this place… It is not fancy and there is very little English spoken here, but they are clean, kind and CHEAP!
If you are looking for a spa day, skip it and find somewhere else, but if you are looking for a solid, decent, no-​frills experience this is your place.

I went here in a pinch and they were open. Mani is $ 12 so I went for it. The service was ok (friendly but not talkative, which is fine by me), she gave a weak hand rub (I asked her to stop doing it – it was awkward) and did just ok when it came to cuticle cutting and cleaning around the nail.
The polishing was done rather rapidly but then when air bubbles formed on two nails (because she had me using the fan directly on them), her solution was add more clear (?!) Um, yeah, thats not helpful.
I left it as is but its not the kind of feeling you want to leave with. I will not be back.

I went here on a Sunday because it was convenient, and it was Mothers Day, so I figured I would treat myself. The usual place my girlfriend and I go wasnt open until noon time and we were on a tight schedule. I do this for a living so I expect the same level of service that I would give my clients.
I called and informed them it would be 2 people, both for pedicures and one fill and one gel… We waited 5 minutes (which wasnt bad at all).
As soon as we sat down, I knew it was not going to be a good experience, my pedicure was a meager «ok» and the two women spoke in their language back and forth laughing throughout it, in the end, my cuticle’s looked like hey were mauled by a meat grinder, my toes could’ve been done better by my 2,5 yr old and my feet were left rough.
That wasn’t the worst of it. When I sat to get my fill, one man started to file my nails, then the owners came in and took over, so the husband sat down to continue. He burned me at least 3 times, cut me once, and when I asked him how long he’d been doing nails, he said «15 years». I honestly would’ve thought he had just gotten out of school. He didnt file around the sides or closest to my cuticle at the base of my nail, he smelled as if he’d just smoked a pack of cigarettes, and my nails were uneven and ugly. I ended up crying, literally, and informed them that I would NEVER come back or recommend anyone to this shop.
My girlfriend was equally unhappy, and was disgusted with how dirty it was. Thats how people get infections, and I will mnot be returning nor recommending this place to anyone. $ 53.00 later, and several days, and I am still pissed.

I went in a while back to ask about manicure prices. Immediately I wanted to leave, the smell of chemicals was greatly overwhelming. Would never go there even if they gave a free manicure.
