Nail Perfection & Spa

I visited this salon and it is the reason why I do not wear acrylic nails any longer. I went there two times, thinking the first visit was maybe a fluke, and because as a reformed nail biter who’d had a relapse, (gross, I know!), decided to give them a second shot, well, because my hands were ratchet and I had a special event to attend. Anyway, I felt hurried, even though I arrived exactly at opening both visits, and was the ONLY FREAKING person there.
Nail polish was old and thinned. (I know you know what I’m talking about.)
Tools appeared to be used on other people– again,
.the.morning. I chose that time for a reason.
Didn’t follow directions on shape or length.
Sure, it’s no overrated gel mani, but the experience in general was less than awesome. I kept the nails short, but I still popped them off after only 4 days, because the seams weren’t filed correctly. I mean fingertip length. What?!
I mean… Sometimes it’s a new tech… So I even gave them the second try. Nope. Even with a pedi the second time, (my cuticles bled into the pedi tub, and I’m not sure how well they sanitize, lucky for you I’m clean), still just «meh» service, no atmosphere, no personality or anything that would invite me back. And if probably have been better off paying for Sally Hansen nail strips at CVS. Seriously.
The best part about the experience was the hot Italian hoagie I got next door after for lunch.
Hope this helps.

I normally only write reviews if positive, but my experience was so lousy and we have choices… next time I’d make a different one! The woman who did my nails did not speak a word of English. She made no effort to try to communicate. I got a mediocre pedicure while my fingers soaked to remove a gel manicure from a salon. After I soaked she was ready to move on to the manicure. The polish was still on. She didn’t know what to do, or how to remove it. and had I not complained to someone else she would have proceeded. I really didn’t want her to do much b/​c it was clear she had no experience, so I had her only buff my nails. I couldn’t wait to get out of Nail Perfection. My nails were so rough and there was nail polish left over on my skin around the nail beds. Once again I found a manager/​owner and he tried to explain to the woman what to do. He ended up finishing the manicure b/​c he clearly had someone working for him that was inexperienced. They asked for extra money to soak the gel off, which was surprising and a first since I was having another manicure. If it’s the last place to go, I’d skip the mani/​pedi. There are choices in Newtown and surrounding areas… you’re better off somewhere else!

I hadn’t been here in years, but I decided to try them again. I was not impressed. To begin only one staff member spoke English, this made it hard to communicate a physical disability I have. The second thing I had an issue with was that the manicurist twisted my hand to fit in the dryer. She really hurt me and was unwilling to compromise and accommodate things for my disability.
My next issue with this place is the length of time the polish lasted. On average, gel nails are supposed to last 2 – 3 weeks. This manicure lasted me one day! The manicure began to peal the day after I got it. I was very unhappy. I will never gain use this salon.

This was probably the worst nail experience I’ve ever had. I came here with a friend for some girl time pedicures and felt terrible to expose her to such an awful experience. It was her first pedi (she’s a mani kind of girl) and the girl that worked on her couldn’t have been more rude, rushed or ungentle. The guy that did my nails, didn’t remove half my nail polish (blue) before applying my new one (light pink). Obviously that looked like crap! The place is old looking and their idea of «cleaning» the pedi bowl was to spray it with water. I don’t even think they rinse their tools at all. They rushed my friend out of her pedi station to the drying station even though 4 other pedi stations were empty and she could have stayed to chat with me (her lady finished her a good 10 minutes before mine was done yet we started at the same time). After seating us to dry and taking our money, no one even bothered to look at us. After about 25 minutes we just let ourselves out. We went straight to the Rite Aid around the corner and bought a bottle of Tinactin and sprayed the hell out of our toes in hope of not getting some nasty infection. Please save yourself money.

This is my home base as far as nail salons go. I always make an appointment with Sue, and she is WONDERFUL. She is the ONLY manicurist I have ever had that can remove old acrylic without it being painful. After that, my favorite thing that she does is that when she glues tips on, she puts them right where the natural whites of your nails start anyway, so the tips are virtually invisible! She always makes my nails the perfect length, and I can’t tell you how much I love her work. When my sister goes, she always has her toes done by Yao Min (the only guy there), and he does a wonderful job, but I’ve had pedicures as well by other people there, and have never had any complaints.
