Helen’s Nails & Spa

I love this place! After moving back to the south shore last year I didn’t think I’d be able to replicate the well done, reasonably priced manicures that I had in the city. Helen’s has a great atmosphere, clean equipment, and friendly employees! I have a standing appointment here and don’t plan on looking anywhere else.

I’m not sure how this place has good reviews. I get mani pedis for two reasons– to relax and to have nice polish for an event. I’m mostly concerned about the experience and not super picky on the paint. I got out of work early and had a couple hours to kill so I decided to stop in for a mani pedi. The guy doing my pedicure was not good. The massage was pitiful– a little pressure goes a long way. It was like the lotion was being rubbed on and not much of a massage. Meanwhile a pushy woman came over to see if I wanted a gel manicure. I politely declined and a few minutes later she came back to start my mani while getting a pedi. Instead of walking around to work on the hand further away from me she required that I twist my body in a very uncomfortable position so she didn’t have to move to do my other hand. This was far from relaxing. She then turned the massage feature off of the chair (which was mediocre to begin with). The polish on my toes was painted in so many coats that I knew it would never dry and be smudged. Being the holidays I chose a red color for both, which was all over my skin. I understand a mistake or two, but having to use acetone with a brush on every nail to clean up the mistakes is a bit much. I waited 2 hours to put closed toe shoes on, and yes my pedicure is smudged. Not only was the experience not relaxing the paint was smudged as soon as input shoes on. I don’t recommend this place at all.

I went to try Helens today for the first time based off the high reviews here on Unilocal I have to say I only did a pedi an brow wax which both were horribly done i had a man do my pedi i don’t know if the results would of been better if i tried Helen herself based off here she does the best job but I’m not happy with this at all prices weren’t cheap either 28 $ pedi 12 $ brow wax an done so poorly but on the good side of things my daughter got a manicure an she loved it ! the place is extremely clean an beautiful inside modern and new and friendly staff I just wish my pedicure didn’t look like I did it myself uneven shaped nails an polish on my skin I don’t think I’ll be returning…

I love it there!!! Been coming to Helen’s since it opened here a couple years ago. Helen usually does my mani and pedi, she is amazing and very detail oriented, but I’ve also gone to other technicians who are fairly great too. The salon is very clean and all the tools used are sanitized. They now offer eyelash extensions services and I am so happy they did! Michelle is great. I love my lashes. She is very meticulous and such a perfectionist. Come here to get them done, you won’t regret it! A bonus: reasonably priced services.

Loved this place! I was obsessed with a nail salon in Sausalito where I lived and was afraid I would not find a place back in MA that gave great mani pedis AND a good massage. This place lived up, and for a good price!

Went last night for my first trip to Helen’s Nails and Spa to get a French Gel manicure. Katy did my nails and she was awesome! Great service, this place definitely goes the extra mile. They even massage your neck/​back! I’ve been to several nail salons in the south shore and Helen’s Nails and Spa definitely beats out all of their competitors! Very relaxing atmosphere, clean, and beautiful décor inside. I will definitely be a regular customer! You should check them out!

A great establishment, very accommodating and clean! The staff was very courteous and did a great job handling my wife’s pedicure and manicure. Sydney was awesome and open to what she was looking to have done. The rest of the staff was very polite as well. It was a team effort getting everything done. the price point was very nice as well. She would definitely come back again.

The reviews for Helen’s Nails & Spa are on point! I’d glad to see others have enjoyed their experience as well.
The salon is large and very well kept. Their employees are always friendly and take great care of their customers. I’ve booked appointments with Helen for manicures, pedicures and eyebrow wax — she’s excellent!

Booked an appointment August 1^st for my bridal party this past summer.
I know this review is late, but better late than never right?! Took my bridal party here for a mani/​pedi the day before the wedding. They were super accommodating! There was even another bridal party there having their mani/​pedi day.
Friendly, decent price, and quick.
I’ll go back in the summer when I need another pedicure.

This is a relatively new nail salon in my area + based on Unilocal reviews I decided to give it a shot on a Sunday morning. I arrived around 11 without an appointment for a gel manicure + was taken right away. The manicure itself was done with a lot of care and precision, and I am so happy with the results. While my hands were in the heaters with the cuticle remover on, the technician gave a back massage which was unexpected but great. The tools used on my nails were sanitary + appear to be packaged for each customer after being sanitized. This is the best gel manicure I have gotten and I am anxious to see how it holds up over the next couple weeks.
They lose a star because the technician cut right into my skin when removing my cuticles, which made me bleed.

This place was great. Clean, sanitary, and they do great work. I got a manicure which included a shoulder massage while my hands were wrapped in heating pads. Bliss.
I also got some areas of my face waxed and Helen did a wonderful job.
I will definitely be back! My nails came out great and lasted an entire week before I even got tip wear. Even then, the first to show wear was the pointer finger on my right hand, which isn’t surprising. Loved it!

Amazing! I got a shellac manicure from Tina. I got the Malaga wine red color and she did an unbelievable job.
Lotions are so delicious smelling and the whole place is warm and inviting.
I can’t wait to go back and get a wax and pedicure with it!

I think I finally found my favorite nail salon on the South Shore!
I have frequented 90% of the nail salons in this area for mani/Pedi’s, Shellac Polish and brow waxing. I had some success, but all in all lackluster experiences and most were grossly overpriced for the quality of service received.
Right after the new year, I came to this newly opened salon for a much needed mani and pedi. Located in a strip mall right off of exit 10 in Kingston, the location is convenient and easy to get to. The inside came out beautiful, it is very spacious with about 8 pedicure stations and a large horseshoe shaped bar with hightop stools and probably 8 manicure stations as well. Cindy took amazing care of me. It was a long, and truly relaxing experience. They also give you a neck/​back massage with a manicure. who doesn’t love that? They had just opened a month prior, so I got 15% off my services ($ 34 for mani/​pedi) and they also gave me a free full sized bottle of lotion just for checking them out!
I went back a second time to try the Shellac Gel polish and for some brow waxing. Helen (I assume the owner), took amazing care of my brows and was so sweet & hospitable. Cindy did my nails again, they came out just the way I wanted!
This place is new, and trust me if you give Helen’s a chance, you will thank me! A nice, relaxing nail salon that gives quality service from the nice, talented technicians. You will leave feeling pampered and beautiful. check Helen’s out.

This place is awesome. The space is brand new and extremely clean (a major concern of mine at nail salons). The manicure bar has tons of seats and there has to be at least 10 – 12 massage chairs for pedicures.
The older woman who did my nails didn’t do the best job, which is where they lost a star. I had to have one of the younger guys fix them. That said, the services otherwise were great. Hot towels/​stones and back/​neck massage are included when you get a mani/​pedi.
I will be back, though I wouldn’t go back to the older woman who did my nails. Everyone else seemed to do a great job though!
Great spot– check it out.
