Lee’s Nails

Good place to get your nails done if you’re in the area and they’re not busy. They take appointments and walk-​ins, which can be frustrating at times. They get very flustered when they are booked with appointments and still try to squeeze in the walk-​in customers. I always make an appointment, but I have been rushed out (not making for a great manicure). Your best bet is to make an appointment for 9am when they open, because the place is empty and they will take their time and do a good job on your nails.

I go here several times a summer while visiting my parents in Newbury. I live in Boston and would rather go here than places by me that are constantly packed and noisy. Lee’s does a great job, are speedy, efficient and friendly. I’ve even had them stay open past their normal business hours for me and my sister. The salon doesn’t look amazing but it’s clean and the staff are super nice.

Had a manicure and pedicure this morning. I am very pleased with the results! The massage chairs are ridiculously amazing! The girl who did my nails was very nice and did a really great job. Everything is clean and sanitary. I will definitely be back.

The place have undergone new management as of end of last year.
Tools are cleaned and the techs do a great job and have many services. They go all out for pedis. If you see any nice nails around, they will tell you this is where they went.

I had a very pleasant experience at Lee’s this past weekend. My fiancé and I went away to Mt. Sunapee for a weekend full of snowboarding. What I didn’t know was that he was planning on proposing! I wanted to get a manicure at the Resort I was staying at but had trouble.
Lee’s was able to fit me right in. I was a bit nervous because the nail salon seemed a litting run down and dated, but that did my nails did an amazing job. I got a french shellac manicure. 5 days have passed and they still look like I just got them done.
If I ever go back to the Sunapee area I will definitely revisit.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the reviewer from Boston who gave Lee’s a bad name but, I think this is a sanitary salon with friendly staff. I use to live in Boston for 4 years and never had the friendliness of staff that Lee’s has.
As for waiting, yes, sometimes they are understaffed… but if you don’t like to wait then come at a time when it wont be busy… early am or early in the week.
The quality of the service is always on point here… very large range of polishes to choose from and prices are very fair.
This is a great salon, I’d recommend it to anyone.

DISGUSTING! STAY AWAY! Would give zero stars.
I was in a wedding at Mt. Sunapee and there are not very many nail options up there. Another bridesmaid made an appointment for 5 shellac mani’s and pedi’s, including one for the bride. We got there at 11:30 (exactly on time!) and there were only 3 tech’s, including one that did not appear to be doing anything. They had us all soak our feet for nearly an hour while they finished the girls ahead of us, then during the manicures made us keep our hands in the UV dryers for WAY too long. I am not exaggerating when I say that we were there for at least 2.5 hours, and that’s after telling them we had to leave by 1:30 and did not get out of there until well after 2. The bride was having a heart attack because we were running out of time to get ready before the rehearsal.
Aside from their lack of time management, I never once saw them sanitize their tools. They would switch tech’s mid treatment and yell at us when we did not feel comfortable keeping our fingers exposed to UV lights for a half hour at a time (before putting polish on them!) or soak our toes for an hour straight. Additionally, wall to wall carpet in a nail salon is completely unsanitary not to mention to black mold growing up the wall I noticed on our way out.
I have NEVER left a nail salon without leaving a tip, but I did at Lee’s. $ 55 is nearly what I pay in Boston for a shellac and pedi, and that’s at a far superior salon. I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau as well as the Board of Health. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.
