Bella Nails & Spa

Went here today to get powder dipped nails for prom. Tech I had did such an incredible job and even though it was busy she didn’t rush me at all! It was very reasonably priced as well, I went there expecting to pay $ 60-​$ 70 and it was only $ 35! and Highly recommended nail salon! Everyone there is so nice and they all do such a good job. There’s a high selection of all types of colors (gel, powder, and regular) and it was painless. I will absolutely be returning to get my nails done.

Unfortunately I didn’t take the time to read these reviews before I decided to do business with Bella Nails… I do hope this review helps someone else…
I went to have my acrylic nails done with Jessi through a recommendation. At the beginning she was nice. I continued to make my appointments with Jessi. However, as time went by Jessi’s behavior changed towards me. I would leave her a generous 20+ tip and I noticed as I dried my nails that she left the tip on the table and never took it. I should have known from that point that something was going on. The last time I went to get my nails done, I made an appointment, and as soon as I arrived I was told by the owner Kenny, that Jessi didn’t feel «comfortable» doing my nails. So I ended up having to get my nails done with someone else. I asked them if they’d refund the balance on the gift certificate I had received for services in their establishment, and I was told, «No». I had a balance of $ 20 after that last visit and I preferred to lose it rather than put myself through this treatment again. I noticed that another customer posted a review on Unilocal based on a similar experience 2 years ago with the same nail technician and she stated that it was due to her ethnic background (posted by Linda A. on 10/​22/​2014). I am also of color and received very similar treatment in this establishment. If they provide customer service based on the color of someone’s skin, they should not be in business.

Pretty good nail salon, nice atmosphere. Always a ton of workers working on the weekends so that there aren’t long waits. They have cheap prices, $ 25 for a mani and pedi. Their pedicures are pretty rushed, they don’t really massage your feet for a long time like other places I’ve been to, but I guess you get what you pay for. They usually are crowded so I understand them wanting to move quickly. However, my toe nails and nails always turn out great and they shape them better than any place ever has. Love this salon.

What a hidden gem in the Danbury area! This nail salon is fresh, clean, and amazingly priced. Located in the same plaza as Bagelman it’s an experience to repeat!
Incredibly clean, great selection of polishes, pedicures, and waxing services! I love that the staff is hip, conversational and most gals working there have a following of loyal customers!

Went in for a back wax after hearing good things. My «blew up» with red marks everywhere and hasn’t calmed down in the last 2 weeks. I asked for my money back, and the guy working said it would be credited. I haven’t seen it yet.

Great salon, nice staff and clean facility. Only downside is there is usually a wait!

Great place to get your nails done. Standard pricing, it was $ 50 for mani/​pedi with a gel mani. Service is really nice. I suggest calling ahead to book an appointment as they get fairly busy.

Terrible experience. I had been going to Bella for a while and only got manicures and those were okay! But this time I decided to get acrylics done so they would last longer, she started off by filing my nails so much it was very painful and you could actually see the pink of my nail show and I bleed on two fingers. Then when putting the acrylic on, the first hand was okay, but then she plastered so much on my second hand that all my nails on that hand looked fat and lumpy and completely different than my other hand. The acrylic was left so thick it coated under the nails as well and became very annoying. Then the color I picked was a flat color but what was on my nails was a sparkly, deeper color than I wanted. Overall terrible experience and had to go somewhere else to fix it (even they were shocked to see how terrible one hand was compared to the other). Never going back. Painful, bad experience.

Very friendly staff! I went here for the first time yesterday since I am new to the area. They were very busy (Saturday morning) but they were still able to take me within 5 minutes. They are great with nail design (I noticed many people were asking for Christmas designed and they had a huge selection) and will also recommend a color if you are not sure. I will be going back for sure! ONLY reason I gave them 4 stars and not 5 is because there was a strong smell of polish when I first walked in. Not a fan of that :(

I gave Bella nails one star for one paticular reason. The last time I was there I experienced a horrible moment. I was born and raised in Queens ny where there is a beautiful melting pot of different cultures. So when I was refused service by the nail tech named Jessie, solely because of my race I was appalled. Sadly I was brought back to the reality that racism still very much exist. Everyone else in the salon was very nice.

I go to the other Bella Spa that they have in Newtown and ever since my first visit, I refuse to get my nails done anywhere else.
I always see Lisa for my acrylic nails and she never disappoints. I usually request a special design on one nail and they come out amazing every single time. The first time I got a French, she hand painted the tips! Her skill is impeccable and I greatly appreciate that she takes so much time to ensure they come out great,
The interior is actually very tasteful and much unlike your typical salon. During my last visit, my favorite Dave Matthews songs could be heard… it’s nice that Bella doesn’t have the news or Judge Judy blaring on the TV.
I also love the fact that after my nails are done, I get a hotel towel and hand massage as a finishing touch. I never have a problem tipping a very generous amount in return.

I have been going to Bella Nails not to long after they opened. In my opinion Cleo is the best manicurist! When I would remember they have a card you fill 10 spots you get a free manicure. I only get the gel manicure. So with that when I filled my card they would knock $ 10.00 off my manicure. (price of the manicure). On Saturday May 17^th I went in with my full card and the «boss» told me no more $ 10.00 off I can get eyebrow wax. I don’t wax my eyebrows. It clearly says on the back of the card «free manicure».I was a faithfull customer every 2 weeks. I am sorry I can’t go back because I honestly loved the job Cleo did! She is consistent! I was always happy with my nails! It seems they may have opened a new place in Newtown Ct. I guess they need the money! It’s not about the money! I always left Cleo a $ 10.00 tip. They don’t value the customer!

I can no longer recommend this salon. True, they were very good when they just opened. But during the last year all their staff turned over and the current employees just don’t seem to care. They are very unfriendly and even if you try to talk to them, they won’t talk to you. They just rush through their work as if they have a quota and don’t want to spend one minute more with you than necessary, which is why some reviews have said they are rough during pedi’s. I had three services done: a pedicure, a manicure, and brow waxing, and I was finished in a record 60 minutes which included sitting under the nail dryer! That’s a tad too fast to do things properly.
The last time I was in there (last week) I had Erica. She was fast and rough during the pedi, and I tried to tell her she was cutting my nails at weird angles, but she never even acknowledged me. Then during the manicure when she wasn’t filing the nails straight, I had to I insist she file my nails straight across and evenly. At one point when she continued to ignore me I asked her «did you hear me?» She acknowledged she did, but continued to be sullen and silent. I had wanted to get my eyebrows waxed, but I was a bit apprehensive by now since I had seen her skill set and lack of attention to the customer’s needs. However, I had the brows done, and it was a total mistake. First, she plucked above the brows on one side, even though you should only pluck below the brow line. Then later in the day I realized that I felt something hard at the edge of my brow. It was dried blood. She had CUT my face with the tweezers.
I called the salon and asked for the owner, but he wasn’t in. I left a message, and it took several days to catch up with him. He excused what happened with Erica by saying «she came from another salon.» I pointed out to him that even if she did come from another salon, she now works for him and it is his responsibility to see her properly trained. I also pointed out that they are now re-​using nail files, which is not allowed in nail salons. I’m not sure he understood how serious these problems are. If employees are breaking the skin and drawing blood all sorts of infections can result. He said he didn’t want to lose my business, since I had been a customer for several years. Kenny (the owner) is a nice guy, but that doesn’t replace quality service from the employees. He wants me to return, but I’m not sure I want to ever go back and risk being cut again, either on my cuticles or on my face.

I am quite happy with this place!
I’m new to the area and have been looking for a place to get my spa pedi’s and my gel/​shellac mani’s… and I found this place! I’ve been driving past it for ages on my way to 84East. Finally decided to stop in so I didnt have to trek back down to Westchester for my mani/​pedi.
The woman who did my nails thought that whoever did the gel set before was terrible (which I agree). She guaranteed that after she did the fill, they would last at least two weeks. AND THEY DID! I went back almost two weeks to the day to get them done (today actually) and other than the outgrowth, they didn’t need to even be filled… nothing had cracked or chipped off!
The pedicure was great. I did a blueberry spa pedicure with callus removal and a wrap on my legs and leg and foot massage for like 20 mins. Unfortunately, one of the reasons I’m giving 3 stars is the roughness I got with the treatment of my feet and lack of roughness with the massage.
Another reason I’m giving 3 stars (although honestly it’s more like 3.8 stars) is because the place was HOT and there are no windows and they didn’t have the AC or the door cracked. Because it’s so hot, it ends up smelling from all the acrylics they do. Also, the massage chairs, while comfy and look amazing, aren’t that great with the massage and hard to control, bleh because I usually enjoy that part very much. I’m also VERY picky with salons because my mother used to own one so it comes with the territory of being really judgmental for me.
A huge plus for me and why I almost can give 4 stars… the prices are great for what you’re getting!
This is definitely my new spot but for the once a month pedi that I get, I’ll probably continue going to my place down in Westchester, the chairs and massages are just that good!

I have been going to Bella for about a year now and it is absolutely fabulous. I went to so many (at least 7) different salons looking for one that was decent and once I found this one, my search was over! I have never been even slightly disappointed with their services. I get acrylic nails, but I have very petite hands so if they don’t shape my nails correctly they look bulky and clearly fake. Bella has always made mine look natural. Not to mention, their color selection is incredible, and they always have the new OPI collections. They are very friendly, clean, and the prices are more than reasonable. I highly recommend this salon.

Their idea of sanitizing tools is to spray them with alcohol… Run Away!!!

When they first opened, I had a great experience there getting a regular pedicure and manicure. I’ve heard mixed reviews from family members who had less than desirable experiences there but continued going to this salon since I’ve generally had good service there. However, the last two times I’ve gone to them have NOT been good at all. The first time that happened I thought maybe the technician I had just wasn’t as experienced or something and figured it wasn’t that big of a deal… but as I type this review my newly done, less than an HOUR AGO gel manicure has AIR BUBBLES THROUGHOUT!!! Four of my nails have this and it looks crappy! Paying $ 28 for this service I thought was a bargain as it was way cheaper than most other salons, but clearly you get what you pay for… although in my eyes that is hard earned money just wasted when I was trying to treat myself to a great manicure that is supposed to be chip, smudge, crack proof! This is just unacceptable they need more training especially since I literally was JUST there and these air bubbles are forming! I’ve had the gel manicures done at two other salons before and while Bella has way more color selection, I’d rather have it look good – that’s the entire point!

I live in Westchester County but was in town visiting family. I have been to many nail salons. This place gave me one of the best manicure/​pedicures that I have ever had. The place is very clean. The staff is very thorough. Would definitely recommend. Great find!!!
