Queen Bee Nails and Spa

I have entrusted Queen Bee Nail Salon to my waxes, manicures and pedicures for years. They are consistenly professional, detailed and accomodating to their clients! Additionally, I left a piece of jewelry there for several months while I was traveling and they saved it and returned it to me the next time I returned for a manicure. They have always found a way to help me with a last minute appointment or walk-​in service. I highly recommend Queen Bee Nail Salon – their customer service and attention to detail is unmatched!

I’ve been here a couple times and every time the staff does a phenomenal job. They do the best job with my cuticles of anywhere that I have ever been. It takes awhile, but great attention to detail and vey friendly staff, then even offer you a bottle of water. They have fit me in same-​day as well.

I just got a great gel manicure– on a Sunday– at Queen Bee! My sister and I made noon appointments and were promptly seated. The manicure itself was relaxing and enjoyable. They dip your hands in paraffin wax at the end leaving your hands so, so smooth. The prices are very reasonable– $ 25 for a gel and $ 25 for a regular pedicure. Definitely recommend!

I come here for manicures and they are great. They are thorough, reasonably priced and spend a very long time on your feet. The massage and steamed towel are terrific
part of the pampering. A few of the employees do gorgeous nail art as well. Highly recommend.

My wife has a tendency of running late to weddings by way of nail salons and that’s how we happened upon this place. She got a mani-​pedi and I was bored so I got a pedicure. It was very reasonably priced and my feet looked human-​like as opposed to their natural Frodo Baggins in the Shire state.
They were super accommodating and like most places laughed at me for falling asleep in the chair while they gelled my feet up. It was worth the money and the time.
English was a bit of a barrier for most of the employees, but that happens and didn’t impact the end outcome of our purpose there — getting my wife’s nails did.

LOVE Queen Bee. The manicurists are consistently good – polite, mellow, and welcoming. The décor is relaxing – even the TV is usually tuned to a quieter program. Way better than your average mani in the area. One caveat: they get super busy on weekends so make an appointment. Hence, the stripping of one star – for now!

They don’t rush! They’re gentle on your hands and especially cuticles!!!
Friendly, efficient and well priced!
Totally clean spot too!!!

Super sweet people and the best gel mani I’ve ever gotten! I came in during the heatwave and they handed out complimentary water bottles. So thoughtful! And the quality of my gel mani surpasses any I’ve gotten in Boston (and I’ve been all over Boston for them). I’m officially a regular!

Great experience! Went here for a gel manicure (French) and got a free paraffin wax too! Very relaxing environment and nice people. Will be back.

Love this place! It’s always busy so I’d recommend making an appointment but it’s worth the wait. Gel manicures last 2 weeks at least and staff really takes time on each client to perfect your manicure or pedicure. Staff even helps me pick out colors sometimes! Very friendly and nice clean environment. Highly recommended

Highly impressed with this salon. I paid $ 25 for a gel mani and $ 25 for a regular pedi. The gel manicure looks absolutely perfect, as do my toes. They dip your hands in wax after the mani. They scraped the calluses off my feet at no extra charge, and massaged with green scrub and lotion. They even put a hot towel on your legs at the end. Definitely worth more than $ 25!
The guy who helped me was funny and extremely nice — and that goes a long way.
PLEASE NOTE that you cannot add a tip on your CC. We didn’t have cash so we had to make a trip back to settle up.

Best gel manicures around!
I’ve been to quite a few places around Boston and this is the best so far. I usually get the french gel manicure and they last more than 2 weeks without chipping or peeling on the sides.
They also do the paraffin wax at the end — it’s amazing!

Nothing uniquely spectacular but nothing to complain about either. But to be honest, that’s all I really look for in a nail salon :)

I love queen bee I go twice a month for gel manicures and occasionally for pedicures. The staff is very friendly and their prices are great for what you get.
Large selection of gel polishes to choose from including shellac and OPI.
Brow waxing is affordable and well done.
Clean for the most part
Cash only for tips.
parking is usually easy.

I recently moved into Boston and was disappointed with the nail salons nearby. I stumbled upon this place while walking around town. I could not be happier. I got an acrylic fill with a design and it was only $ 18. The people here are SO nice and SO friendly. They gave me a water bottle when I was waiting and made sure they got the shape and lengths right on my nails. I was worried about getting my skin cut, but she was really careful and payed very close attention to detail.
Also they have a reward program where your 11^th manicure is free :]! Needless to say, I will be back.

I love Queen Bee!
I love love love painting my own nails. I love testing out designs and being creative with nail art. Unfortunately, I was cursed with weak nails and my nails chip almost immediately, rendering my work crappy-​looking a lot of the time.
So I decided to get some acrylics for myself, and I chose Queen Bee due to their glowing Unilocal reviews.
I usually get Nyugen to do my nails. She’s the best! She works meticulously and makes sure you’re happy with your nails every step of the way.
She does an absolutely wonderful job, whether it be applying the acrylics, filling them in, or polishing and shaping them. Plus, she’s so sweet and accommodating! I’ve only been in a few times, and I’ve been so impressed with their level of hospitality.
Also, when I get bored of my color, they told me the best way to replace it on my own at home, and I’ve had so much fun painting my own designs. No chipping! Ever! Yay!
I got a fill with an electric blue polish when I went in yesterday, and as usual, my nails are immaculate. Prices are very reasonable across the board, a definite plus for my perpetually broke self! You really can’t beat Queen Bee! :)

I called ahead to see if I could make a last minute appointment for a pedicure. The woman told me to come at 12pm, and I arrived exactly at that time. After quickly selected I my color, I was told to sit down in the pedicaure seat but was left waiting for 20 minutes before anyone got to me. I understand if I was a walk-​in, but I was told to come in at a certain time and expected to be seen shortly thereafter.
I opted for the basic $ 25 pedicure. The guy scrubbed by feet with a very harsh brush, so harsh that I flinched and pulled my foot away and he nervously laughed from my reaction. The brush was perhaps intended for scrubbing surfaces, and not feet. I opted to stop the scrubbing.
My attention was drawn to some emails and when I looked up, my nails were cut in strange way – usually I cut and file straight across to prevent ingrown nails. This time, he cut both corners of the nail away, and now i’m afraid to develop the dreaded in-​grown nails on all of my toes. Also, one of the toes has a cut right near the nail; I assume it’s because he nicked the skin along with the nail while trimming the nai.
After the foot and leg massage, lotion was applied, but he forgot to scrub with the bottoms of the feet pumice sponge… so I had to re-​soak my feet in the water. As he was scrubbing the bottom of one foot, his arm scubbing motion went too far and he scraped the pumice sponge across the top of my other foot, resulting in a large scratch which quickly started to bleed. He covered the scratch with a corner of the towel, as if wanting to prevent me from seeing it. I looked up in disbelief and asked for a band aide and some rubbing alcohol. He couldnt find either, so he offered a cotton ball soaked in acetone… Aren’t these places supposed to have first aide kits?
I was upset at this experience and am not coming back.

I was going to give up on getting my nails done in Boston. I even bought my own manicuring tools. Then a coworker recommended Queen Bee and I decided to give it another shot. The staff here is generally friendly, the space is clean, and the prices are fair ($ 25 for gel manicures, $ 11 for regular). Both times I’ve been, the wait was minimal. They have a wide selection of gel and regular colors.
On my recent visit, I had gotten a mediocre manicure back in Chicago the week before and the manicurist did nothing to properly shaped my nails or make them even. Attention to detail is a must for any service. At Queen Bee, the delightful gentleman who shaped my nails gave them a perfect natural square shape and made sure to make all my nails the same length. This kind of detail is what makes a manicure great, in my opinion. The woman who applied the polish was equally attentive. It seems no matter who is servicing you at Queen Bee, you can count on a consistently good job.

I went to queen bee today to get a gel removal and french gel mani. I called earlier in the week to make an appt. On the way there, I saw my husband’s nails and how gross they were from being at work. I figured I would ask if they took walk ins for him to get his done.
Its non descript on the outside, but super clean inside. They took us right away. He could get his gnarly digits cleaned up, and i could get rid of the heinous gel color from a different salon. I showed the nail tech the pic of what i wanted, and he asked the manager if it could be done. She said yes. He removed every last inch of my previous gel. It was the best removal Ive ever seen. I will say, it threw me off with the teeny piece of cotton he used to soak off the polish, but it worked. The girl who did my gel was amazing! I got exactly what i asked for. I also got a paraffin treatment and a vanilla scented lotion massage. Ill be back to get my nails done in a few weeks! I loved it!
As for my husband, i over tipper the woman who did his hands. She earned her salary for the week with him. He fell asleep while she toiled away!

This review has been long over due! I absolutely love this nail salon. I tried it one day after a hair stylist recommended it to me, and I’ve been coming back ever since!
This nail salon is a family run business, and every single one of the staff is kind, patient, and helpful! The place is always clean and spotless. I never feel rushed, and their staff always takes their time in making my nails look perfect. Nguyen is my go to girl there, she is just the sweetest and always does a perfect job on any little extra designs I ask for… Her sister and other team members are awesome too — so either way I leave happy. Not to mention how long their gel manis and pedis last me!
I can’t tell you how many compliments I have gotten on my nails, this place keeps getting more and more clients — so be sure to make appointments!
