Nail Spa II

I’ve come to this salon regularly since I was in high school and I’m not exactly sure why I’ve come back all of these years. I guess probably the hot stone massage and paraffin wax. Well this past weekend was the last straw. I had bought my mom and sister gift certificates there for Christmas and we used them. God forbid you pay with a gift certificate and tip before the manicure so it doesn’t smudge. Once they saw the gift certificates they treated us like complete sh*t. We got a mani pedi combo and didn’t even get the massage while our manis dried. Not a hot stone was seen in our vicinity but literally everyone else had their massages. They did a piss poor job on the polish and just like everyone else said they don’t soak your cuticles and they come out ragged. My mom had to have the polish on her mani completed taken off and redone and had to have like 4 toes fixed. They were so rude to her and told her the nails weren’t like that before and she must have smudged them herself. I’m just so disappointed and wish I could take my tip back and be reimbursed for the gift certificates. I will never return to this awful salon and everyone should boycott them until they’re out of business.

Terrible!
I was in town visiting my boyfriend, needed a pedi and thought why not go down the street to this place with all of the great Unilocal reviews…
They destroyed my cuticles, and did a slap job on my toes. I had to leave with only two nails done… a DISASTER.
It looks nice inside, and everyone seems friendly BUT, BUYER BEWARE, looks can be deceiving!

Pedicure was the worst I have ever received it had VERY noticeable bubbles, uneven polish layered on, the clear coat is covered my entire toe nail. This place used to be decent. He sped through. Waste of 40 dollars.

I was there today and was very impressed! It’s really big there, and they took me right away. I had the most amazing mani pedi… with paraffin treatment on hands and feet! Massage was done twice… people were very friendly, the services were great. Price was fabulous as well. I will be back for my next one… so happy to have found this salon!

Absolute WORST experience I have EVER had at a nail salon, and I’ve been to many of them around the United States! I was visiting a friend here and we went to get a pedicure and full set. First off, they told me they didn’t have acrylics, fine because she assured me they had something very much like it. Not telling me it was going to be 65 $ just for my fingernails! Until she was done, and had done an absolutely TERRIBLE job! I asked her over and over again to do it differently and said this was the best way for my nails. BS she just wanted to be done! I ended up with a 97 $ bill. Nails and pedicure look like absolute crap! I even asked for refund and have them taken off and management was so incredibly rude I couldn’t believe it! WILL NEVER recommend this place and my friend will NEVER go back!

When I did an initial Unilocal search for pedicure near Niantic, CT. I was wary of what four stars constituted for a place called Nail Spa II located in a small town strip-​mall. I made an appointment anyway for a standard pedicure and was hugely impressed the moment I walked through the door.
Large, clean, nicely decorated, full of customers laughing and talking, classical music playing quietly through the speakers, no acrylic nail odor. The pedicure as others have mentioned is a complete deal– $ 32 gets you a foot soak, exfoliating scrub, paraffin dip, foot and leg rub, nail coat, and then a hot stone shoulder rub while you wait for the polish to dry. Plus, a massage chair while you’re having your toes attended to!
The only reason it doesn’t receive five stars is because the color coat job was a little slapdash and they didn’t trim my cuticles, which I think is pretty standard. That said, worth the price for the treatment alone, polish be damned.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. I walked in with my 3 children (ages 5 — 9) because they had been wanting «a spa day» for a while. At first the staff thought that the children would just wait for me while I got a pedicure (and most businesses would find that unacceptable, but they were perfectly happy to have the children sit & wait) but when I told them that we ALL wanted pedicures they went right to work on the kids. They were kind & patient (I think it helped that my kids were all really well behaved), and my oldest son who is autistic was shown special care by Jenny, who gave him his pedicure. (HE LOVES having his feet rubbed, so he was in heaven.) And for what you pay for I feel like you get way more. I will definitely be going back there, the customer service was top notch and I felt like the staff was actually happy to have us.

My favorite place to go for a variety of needs! Waxing, pedicures, manicures, and massages! The staff is incredible, and pays attention to what they are doing and what you ask for. Priced fairly, great location, and super clean! I don’t go anywhere else!‘

So far my favorite pedicure in Waterford. Lee does a great foot massage and the prices are very affordable for the level or quality service you receive. Thank you Nail Spa II.

This place is so wonderful. Every time I come I am blown away by the people working here. The people really work hard and do their very best to give you the best experience, to a degree that I have not seen in any other nail salon. During a pedicure, the people working their give such nice, long leg and foot massages, and they even give you a back massage while your nails dry! They do not skimp on the service here. One of the best salons I’ve ever been to.

This nail place USED to be the best around this area, but I went today with a party of 6 people and we were ALL dissatisfied. My nails came out streaky and splotchy. I told the manager that I was really unhappy and she looked at me like I was crazy. She said I could get my nails redone. But I told her the other 5 people were all done and already waiting on me. She said there was nothing else she could do! I said really? What kind of customer service is that??? I live in NYC and only here for 24 hours. She ended up laughing at me. And giving me my money back only if I sat down and let her take all the polish off. If you ask me… That kind of service is despicable. Me and my party of 6 will never return and I urge everyone to rethink this place too! What was a measly 13 $ to return to me when I just spent over $ 200???

Best manicure EVER! I went here based on a recommendation from the bartender at the hotel bar where I was staying and she was right on when she said it’s a great place.
For $ 13 you get scrubby hand cream, parraffin wax, hot stone massage, hand/​arm massage, plus the standard nail and cuticle care. They even have a special cleaning solution for wedding rings! Maybe that’s standard but i had never seen this before. In addition to all this, you get a second, shorter massage while your nails are drying. I wish I lived nearby so I could go here more often!

After reading all of the reviews from this site I decided to give it a try. Now I originally come from RI and finding a good nail place is difficult to say the least. I went into Nail Spa II and was taken within a minute or so. The place is immaculate! Very nice and extremely clean they do not do acrylic nails at this spa. All of the staff have aprons and shirts on that say «Nail Spa II» which is a surprise.
Let me tell you, this pedicure was FANTASTIC! I have never ever been to a place that does all of the little extras this spa does (parafin wax dip, hotstone massage, extra exfoliation, foot masks, regular massage, callus softener treatment etc… I got the spa pedicure, which has everything! I figured I might as well go all out so I’m not sure what the difference is between the regular and the spa. The reviews were right about the extras! My pedicure was about an hour and a half long and when I was sitting at the dryer I got a hot stone rubbed on my back then a back massage! That was just fantastic!
The only reason why I am giving this spa 4 stars is because the pedicure costs me $ 50 and I noticed after I had paid that a regular mani/​pedi was $ 42. I am going to call tomorrow and ask. I know that businesses have to make money but I would have liked it if it had been brought to my attention. I will DEFINITELY go back!

Incredible pedicures! Easily one of the best pedicures I’ve ever had — they soak, exfoliate, paraffin and massage your toes and leg with just the base pedicure for *I think* $ 30. I highly recommend paying the additional $ 10 to have your heels softened and receive additional exfoliation and massage therapies. The $ 30 pedi takes about 30 to 45 minutes and the $ 40 one can last past an hour. The hot rock shoulder rub while your tootsies dry truly completes the spa –like experience.
The staff is friendly and considerate. The only reason why this is a 4 star review vs. a 5 star is because their manicures (while good) aren’t of the same quality as the pedicure. They don’t soak your hands prior to the cuticle clean-​up. I can say as I look at my nails 2 days later it doesn’t leave the cleanest look. Otherwise, the mani is very standard to what you would receive at other nail salons.
For me, I’ll stick with the pedi here — it is definitely worth the time and money. So insanely relaxing!

Great place to get a pedicure. For a decent price they exfoliate, parrafin, moisturize and massage your toes, and give a nice little shoulder massage while your toes dry!

I love this place! (I’ll tell you why I gave only 4 stars in the review.) All the extras that everyone mentioned definitely made the visit much more pleasant. I was there for about an hr and a half which was a good thing for me because I had a lot of time to kill.
The paraffin wax, massage during the pedicure and the manicure and hot towel wraps on my hands/​feets were a bonus!
The place is very clean and nicely decorate. Not a hole-​in-​the-​wall by any means.
I took off a star because they don’t soak your hands. It hurt a little to push the cuticles back and trim them. I didn’t bleed or anything but the presoak helps with that.

FABULOUS Pedicures! The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is that they do not do acrylic nails and I cannot afford the gels. The staff is really friendly and the salon is immaculately clean.

I walked in because I desperately needed a french manicure for a business meeting. I waited a little while for a station to open up, but I didn’t mind since I was a walk-​in. The manicure came out great — and was perfect for my meeting. Also, the shoulder rub while they’re drying is probably the best idea ever.

This is one of the best salons I’ve been too! Having recently moved to New London a few months ago, I’ve been searching for a great nail salon. I’ve gone to a few in Groton, but all of them seemed average.
Nail Spa II is clean, affordable, has a medium-​sized staff, and does great work. But as the previous reviewer suggested, it’s all in the extras! I asked for I thought was a basic manicure… Which somehow included paraffin wax, a hot stone massage, a back massage after the stones, massage on my arms, and then ANOTHER back massage at the drying chair. The best thing is that this all cost $ 12!
Give yourself enough time when you go. My manicure lasted about an hour and if you get the mani pedi combo, expect to be there for quite a while!
The pedicure costs $ 30, with the mani pedi combo coming in at $ 42. Eyebrow wax is $ 8, the bikini wax starts at $ 20, and I believe tips are $ 50.
Mon-​Fri: 9:30am-7pm

Sometimes generic business names come as an omen of mediocrity. Chances are that «Good Food» doesn’t have the best Chinese food on the block or «Supreme Pizza» won’t knock your socks off. You might therefore assume that «Nail Spa II» is just your run-​of-​the-​mill, hole-​in-​the-​wall nail salon. However, if you did, you would be dead wrong.
Mahri and I arrived at Nail Spa II completely by chance (thanks for once to bad GPS directions). Tucked in the corner of a blasé strip mall, it’s not the sort of business that would attract your attention from the road. We found that what lies within, however, is a glimpse of heaven.
What is so great about this place? The extras. When you get either a manicure or a pedicure, they fill in the «dead time» (i.e. when you are waiting for the paraffin wax to set or your nails to dry) with a shoulder and back massage. I have been to several spas for massage in the past, but have never experienced a massage quite so intensely relaxing… and all while sitting upright in a chair! Halfway through the experience we started to wonder whether we had signed up for the $ 80 spa mani/​pedi, but were delighted to find that the massage was part of the standard procedure (ringing in just over $ 40).
In addition, the place is clean, the music relaxing, and our nails look great! We will be back very very soon!
