Orange Nails & Spa II

Twice I’ve gone to Orange Nails and when the woman brings the tools over to give me a manicure (like the nails files, etc) they had gross chunks of other people’s skin on them. I asked if she could get a clean set of tools but she would just wipe the old skin chunks off with a tissue and proceed with using them on me. I was so grossed out I asked if she was going to sanitize those first and she said «No, we only sanitize them ONCE A DAY at night when we are all done for the day.» So please be aware that despite the sign in the window saying they sanitize like a medical grade facility, that is deceiving because all their tools are only sanitized ONCE at the end of the day when they are all done with customers, NOT in between each customer’s manicure. So what they use to dig out dead skin and cuticles of one client is being used on the next client WITHOUT being sanitized. Is that even legal?! I don’t know, but it’s DISGUSTING. So I will not be going there again.

I went back again to this salon last weekend and they got brand new massage chairs for their pedicures. They are amazing — the staff is so welcoming, nice and always do a great job on my nails. I wouldn’t go to any other salon. Linda is the best at pedicures!
If people complain about waiting, its because they didnt make an appointment. The staff runs around to make sure everyone is getting seated and is comfortable. They really go out of their way.

Not very good pedi! Here with my teen daughter. We both came in for pedi!
We were both seated at same time, but I waited the whole time. Her pedi was finished and they just started mine.
I feel I received the bum’s rush the entire pedicure.
No foot massage just calf and that was for only ½ minute.
Terrible cuticle treatment and no heel treatment. Just a light scrub with that blue thingy.
We were going to do the foot reflexology –forget about it!!!
I think

I’m so tired of waiting for close to an hour after my appointment time to be seen. This was my last time with them. I’ll be going to Twinkle or Nails Noble from now on.
I purposely left work early to make my 5 pm appointment, only to be told that she was running 30 minutes late. In orange nails speak, that means an hour late. It would be different if this was the first time, but this happens every single time at Orange. It should not take 2 – 3 hours for a gel manicure, especially when you have an appointment. Appointment times should be respected, how else do you expect to keep your regulars.
In addition, the remodeling job is awful and I’ve noticed that the quality of the services have gone down as well, probably because they’re more concerned with taking on as many customers as possible rather than focusing on the service they are providing.

My friend and I decided to try this place because it had the best reviews near by. We walked in without and appointment and had to wait a little bit. I got a mani and nail polish change on my feet. I told them I had a sore toe from a previous salon and I asked them to leave it alone and just put polish on it. Well they touched it and it hurt a lot. Next was my mani which they did do a good job at shaping them however the polish was a little messy. My friend got a gel pedicure and it was $ 55! And it was a messy job as well. In CA I can get a gel mani and regular pedicure for $ 40 and have it look good. You need cash for tip which is a little annoying but they allowed us to charge it. So bottom line probably won’t be going back but the ladies were friendly so it wasn’t a horrible experience.

I came in for a manicure and pedicure around noon on a Sunday and was able to be seated right away. They didn’t have liners in the foot bath which is why I took away one star. Other than that service was very friendly and it was a relaxed environment. Not a very large space, there is only one station to dry your nails. Overall quality was good, neck massage while your nails are drying, no ATM, tips in cash only. 45 dollars for a mani and pedi.

Love this place! I get gel nails done here frequently and love the way they look and last for weeks. Sonia gave me the most wonderful massage with my manicure! at no extra charge… This place is top notch!

The girls here are always so nice and even if the wait is long the results are great! My nail polish will still look good 2 weeks later!!! It’s worth the price

I wrote my review last night but after taking a look at my nails this a.m. I am editing it. My pedicure looks great, but my manicure looks comparable to what I could do on my own. I am a bit disappointed in that but happy with the pedicure.
This was my first visit to Orange Nail Salon. The majority of the reviews are on point. But I’m surprised no one mentioned the cash tips only/​preferred. Luckily, they let me charge my tip, bur multiple girls had to run to the ATM. I had a six pm appointment and didn’t get out till 8 pm. If you want quick, this might not be the place for you. They are a bit pricy for pedicures, but took their time and it was enjoyable. Two complaints: 1) the chair remotes are in Chinese and 2) my nail polish was a bit clumpy when she started. This might be why my manicure looks like I could have done it on my own. Probably will be back to give them another shot.

I just got a really fantastic mani-​pedi by Edith. It was my first time here and I came in on a Saturday morning less than 10 minutes after they opened and it was almost full, but I was quickly accommodated. This is much better than the places in the mall and much less expensive than the places in the center. Edith was a sweetie and gave my legs, hands, and back a fantastic massage. They do a lot of repeat business and I can see why. I don’t get my nails done a lot but next time I do I will try this place again!

I recently started looking for a new nail salon and I’ve found it! I’ve been to Orange nails 3 or 4 times and now I won’t go anywhere else. The staff is super nice and the massages are great. You definitely get what you pay for. Great service and great nails that last for weeks!

Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. Massage chairs. More colors to choose from than you can ever imagine. Shellacs. Gels. What don’t they do? I just had the Orange Pedicure by Sonia and its the best one I hane ever had.

UPDATE: It was not Edith that did my nails, it was Sonia (i got confused because Edith started them, then disappeared and left me soaking for 15+ minutes. why?). The owner Michelle reached out to me apologizing, which is why i switched my rating from 2 to 3 stars, but I’m still not impessed. As a customer I’m pretty easy to please; there’s no way for her to explain away the fact that I was rudely treated, given a bad manicure, and charged extra without it being coherently explained in english. The bottom line is that they should not let a customer walk out with nails as poorly done as these.

Don’t bother going anywhere else. I’ve been coming here for years. The staff is super nice and caring. There are so many regulars here, which is always a good sign. If you’ve had a long week, get the Orange pedicure, which is incredible. Everything is super clean and their polish colors are updated frequently. It’s usually quieter on Sundays… worth calling ahead but you can always hang out in Starbucks while you’re waiting.

I absolutely love this nail salon. I have been coming here for years and for good reason. The people who work here are so nice and they create a really relaxing environment. It’s clean and the instruments they use are sterilized. They use good quality products and pay attention to detail. In contrast, I made the mistake the other day of going to one of the salons in Westfarms Mall across the street for a quick manicure since I was already in the mall. It was filthy, the instruments were dirty, the ambience was horrible and the ladies spoke in Vietnamese (?) like I wasn’t even there. I was ready to get out of there! Stick to Orange Nails and you won’t be disappointed!!! Also highly recommend the Orange Spa Pedicure– you’ll feel like you spent the afternoon in the spa. Love love love.

I had a great experience at this salon. I usually go for a gel manicure and pedicure. They have a great selection of colors (OPI, Shellac and the newest Essie gel…) and very reasonable price.
The owner, Michelle does nails and she is extremely attentive and makes sure that my nails are perfect down to the very last detail. She also makes sure I was comfortable. All staff are very friendly and professional.
I am very happy to go there

Its a clean, well run salon and I have been there a couple of times and was satisfied with my well manicured and neat nails. The added massage is a plus. BUT!!! occasionally my nails split way down and deep and they are mended with a little acrylic or gel as a courtesy for getting a gel polish nail set. I got my nail done by the owner and can you believe she charged me 9 dollars to mend one nail, on top of the 30 dollars for the gel polish??? I was robbed and she did not have a knife or gun. That sucks I hope she is proud of herself what if I had 3 split nails I would have to take out a loan. Very disappointed

Ashley was extremely informative and walked me through my first shellac experience. She was thorough and believe me, I needed it. Other patrons were friendly and conversational. A lot of WeHa housewives frequent this joint. If you have the time and money ($ 31.90 caught me HELLA off guard), I suggest you and your crew go and get the works.

This nail salon is wonderful, Edith does a fantastic job and my shellac always lasts 2 – 3 weeks. They are thorough, clean, and courteous. Right from when you walk in the door everyone is super friendly and accomodating. Prices are average, but the work is superior.

I’m at Corbins Corner pretty frequently but I’d never had my nails done here until a few weeks ago. Something about the general vibe has always turned me off. I’ve walked in before only to leave and go across town to get my nails done.
This was my most convenient option when I was in the area the day before I left for vacation. I stopped in around 4pm thinking it would be plenty of time for a mani/​pedi before a 6pm appointment.
I was seated in a massage chair that was broken when there were plenty that were unoccupied and working. I didn’t attempt to turn it on until the pedicure had started otherwise I would have asked to switch. When I asked about it, it was clear the employees had known it wasn’t working prior to seating me in it. I didn’t come to use the massage chair, but it does contribute to the overall experience.
Secondly, the color that I had picked for the manicure was clumpy and old. The nail tech tried to thin it out by adding a bit of nail polish remover. It still looked awful so I picked another color. The whole process took double the time that it normally takes for a manicure. And… my nails looked just as good as if I had done them myself.
I was also anxious about making it to my appointment. After making it clear that I had to leave by 5:30 (I’d been there since 4!) and checking the time on several occasions we still finished late. Also, the neck and shoulder massage that is typically given at end of each mani/​pedi was incredibly lacking.
A highly disappointing experience all around.
