Sky Nail & Spa

Very friendly workers. Usually no wait and convenient location. 90% of the gel manicures I’ve gotten there have been great. Every once in a while I’ll get one that chips too soon, but I think that happens everywhere!

Love this salon — everyone is so friendly and accommodating while it is clean and well kept. Definitely the best salon on the west side of Southie.

First off — I am a guy. With ugly guy feet. So a pedicure involves a bit of work, with callouses and generally not great stuff. This place is great — they do a nice job trimming the nails but also did a great job of dealing with my callouses (they use the metal thing that looks like a cheese grater, as opposed to just one of those sandpaper things). Nice and clean too. Very good value for Boston.

My go to nail shop. I tell everyone I know this is the best shop in Southie, because I’ve tried them all! Kevin is amazing and so is everyone else! I always walk out with amazing nails and if anything goes wrong, they are so accommodating when you come back!
If you want diamond encrusted chairs in a nail salon, go to Dubai. If you want an amazing gel manicure for cheaper than the going rate at a great shop manned by good people, this is the place for you. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend.

It’s probably the best nail service in town. Kevin did a good job, try to make appointment with him if you can.

I’ve been looking for a new nail place close to my work. I turned to Unilocal to help me with the selection process and stumbled upon this place…
I believe my tech was named Kevin. I’m not really sure as he didn’t introduce himself. He was pretty nice, checked in with me through out the service, and i was in and out in 90 mins for a gel manicure/​pedicure. These are what got my two rating.
The décor/​ambiance– Old, dirty, and broken. Chairs at the manicure station looked like they were run over by a car, lop sided, and uncomfortable. The chair i was given was directly in front of the nail polish choosing area and people were reaching over me to select their colors.
The pedicure– My feet are still really rough on the bottom and my toes chipped the day after i got them painted. Addtionally, in attempting to remove the in grown toe nail parts i was made to bleed and the toe nail was shaped very oddly. The big toes now each curve outward and look really weird. The massage was nothing to write home about.
The gel manicure– There is not a common nail shape among my digits. All of my cuticles are peeling back and the polish has already chipped and it’s not even been a week yet.
The guy was genuinely nice and seemed to try to do a good job. The prices were pretty cheap. I just wish the mani/​pedi lasted longer than a couple of days.
On to the next one.

Awful, awful, awful. The nails were done in a rush and completely half-​assed. To begin with there were bumps in the polish color upon completion and when I pointed it out they said «its fine». The french manicure they did made the tips WAY too thick making it look super trashy. Its been two days and two of my nails’ colors started completely pealing. I paid 17 $ for a frickin manicure only to have it last 2 days! That is completely insane. Awful service, awful manicure and awful waste of money.

After 3 visits, not sure if I’ll be returning. I had to change my stars because, on my second visit after only 6 days, I went to get another pedi and the ladies in San Francisco couldn’t believe it-​they told me it looks like it’s been 3 weeks. Long story short, the basically didn’t do that great of a job the 2^nd and 3^rd time.
The paint job is sloppy and when they clean it up, it mixes acetone into the Polish, making it peel faster…
I can’t compare it to a $ 60 spa pedicure, but come on, where can I get a good pedi place in Boston?!

I went for a full set and a pedicure. It was kind of busy on a Friday at 3 but there was one technician free for my pedicure. She rushed through it, the water was cold and I basically paid just to have my toes painted there was nothing else done.
The full set was ok but the woman didn’t listen to the length I wanted and it seemed to be chaotic when I left. I will not be returning since there was very little attention to detail.

Sky Nail used to be my favorite salon in Southie, however, the girl I used to go to is now gone and she did an excellent job. I have heard good things about Kevin, but have never gone to him. I recently got a pedicure and a shellac manicure. Both were fine, but not as good as they have been in the past. My manicure had a few marks/​fuzzes and only lasted a week (in the past they have lasted 3). My pedicure was good, but my feet didn’t feel as smooth. I would come back since the prices are so reasonable, but hope to have better luck.

They did a great job! One of the best manicures I’ve gotten in Boston within this price range. Definitely recommend.

Such a great job! Was so kind and very attentive. Showed a design of what I wanted and he did it to perfection. Would definitely make an appointment though. Went on a Saturday afternoon and they were packed.

I discovered sky nails 2 years ago and to this day can’t imagine going anywhere else. They are so clean, so nice and most importantly everyone does an amazing job. My nails have no natural shape, out of control cuticles, etc. They literally transform my hands with their attention to detail!

The. Best. Manicure. Of. My. Life. Thank you, Kevin. He’s efficient, meticulous and personable.

I always have a great experience here. The owner is super friendly and every woman I’ve had so my nails I’ve been impressed with. This will always be my go to spot for spa treatments. I love how much the massage your feet and legs with stones. Very relaxing.

Seasonal decorations that really get me feel the holiday spirit! Not to mention the great services. Best mani-​pedi in the area in my opinion, especially the gel mani that wont disappoint you!

5 stars plus plus plus. I was visiting my daughter, who is working in Boston, and we both needed shellac manicures. This is why I love love Unilocal!We found this place on Unilocal!It was not too far from my hotel, We read the reviews and decided to try it out. We were walkins. There were 3 people working, one was Kevin (#lovehim). We were in Boston on Veterans weekend– and my nails look as good today as they did when I walked out of this place. I have NEVER had a shellac last this long –and still look this good. Ever. The young girl did a great job on my daughters manicure and it is equally as long lasting. I had the pleasure of having Kevin give my manicure. There were 2 young girls being worked on when we got there. They were very rude and immature. One was having a loud, dramatic cellphone «conversation «with her dad that she continued on with her friend after the call ended. The other tortured the staff over the shape of her nails– they were having sets done in that pointy nail look and then nail designs painted on afterwards. They were high school aged and quite obnoxious! The staff handled them with kindness and professionalism (even tho they were on my very last nerve!). I will definitely go back ! Bravo Fantastic shellac manicure! Highly recommend.

Found Sky Nail & Spa through Unilocal.The ratings are totally accurate. This place is awesome. My friend and I did not have an appointment and we were quickly helped and nicely greeted. Sophia did my nails and she did a fabulous job and did a flawless application. I showed her the color I wanted and how I wanted my nails shaped. The place was clean and friendly. During my nail application, the manager cane up to me to make sure I was happy with my service. The best thing… the price was very reasonable! I highly recommend this place and I will definitely come back.

Kevin is awesome! He’s attentive to detail and gave me a great pedicure! I liked that Sky has a deep selection of OPI nail polishes. Place is clean and prices are really competitive to the many nail shops on this block.
Will def be back to see Kevin!

Sky nails is my new go to nail salon. I’ve been going down the street to Gaelic for years due to their super low prices. Sky nails has similar affordable pricing with a more relaxing, professional, and clean environment. Today was my first time at sky nails and I’ll definitely return soon!
The facility itself was great. Everything appeared clean and well kept. All of the equipment still appeared new and functioning. They had a great selection of colors which were neatly displayed on the wall, color coordinated by brand.
I got a pedicure today, which was $ 22. The pedicure lasted a while, between 20 – 30 minutes! I’m so used to places rushing through my pedicure to get to the next client, it was so nice to actually be able to relax and enjoy it this time. They even use hot stones and oil during the pedicure, such a deal for only $ 22! The woman doing my nails took her time and thoroughly painted each nail and made sure to get every stray piece of paint off my skin. I will definitely be back for my next mani/​pedi.
