Sydney Nails

Love this place! Friendly staffs and good quality! Definitely will be going back! Worth it!

This is my go to place for a pedi. They do such an amazing job. I usually go in as a walk in, but it’s worth the wait if anything. The water is always set right and then its on to relaxation. Although the massage chairs are older, it gets the job done. The staff does really well with scrubbing and cleaning my toes. They clean up the polish very well and it lasts for a super long time. They are pretty inexpensive and really take their time with you even if its busy!

Don’t get your eyebrows waxed here. Shady sheet to cover the area.
This place overall appears unsanitary and the gel mani I received was subpar. I will not be back.

I used to love this nail salon and look forward to a cheap but amazing acrylic nails set from lee but the last time I went it was horrible ! Every time I have went iv been cut but I didn’t care that much because of the amazing results but this past time my nails looks crazy I wanted pointed acrylics but came out with round flat looking nails the size of my natural nail! Most likely won’t be returning …

My sisters and I have been going to Sydney’s for few good years now and have been always happy leaving with smiles on our faces. It’s always the same great people working and they always greet you with hello’s. They can get a little busy during certain hours everyday so I would call ahead just in case. Walk ins are welcome, normally what I do and wouldn’t wait as long as 15 mins. My sister and I are huge into matte gel manicures. They always work with your needs, asking if you want them shorter, rounder, if one nail is longer than the other — let them know and they have always perfected the outcome followed by a nice sweet hand massage. Love Sydney’s!

I’m very picky on what I wanted done with my nails and cuticles. She listened to all my needs and made my nails look outstanding. I got a regular manicure for 15 $.

One of their staff cut my finger very bad. It bled a lot and for a long time, and I started to feel faint. He left me alone while I tried to control the bleeding and tried not to pass out. The cut got infected and took a long time to heal. This was two years ago and I still have a discoloration/​scar on my cuticle where the cut was.
Prior to that, I had been going there for years. I had loved them for their affordable prices and durable manicures/​pedicures. But after that experience, I never went back. While I don’t mind a less than upscale atmosphere for a manicure, health and safety cannot be sacrificed.

I was in need of a mani/​pedi since I haven’t done one in over two years. But I also felt like pampering myself anyway so I decided to start Unilocaling for nail salons in Quincy. After looking at the reviews for this particular place, I decided to try it out. When I walked into the place, there were customers already there and all the technicians were occupied. The nice lady looked up and greeted me kindly and told me that I have to wait 20 mins. I didn’t mind so I began choosing a color. After waiting for a bit, they got the water ready for my feet and I sat down on the massage chair.
About another 10 mins of waiting, a man came over and began cleaning/​scrubbing my feet. He was really careful and took his time making my feet look better. The short massage was a nice touch as well. At the same time, when they were finished with the other customers, the same lady (wish I caught her name) came over and began my manicure. So basically I had a mani/​pedi done at the same time and it felt great. She was also meticulous in her work and she made sure everything looked great. They definitely took care of me as a customer.
I was finally finished with my session and I have to say is one of the best work I’ve ever seen. Both my hands and feet look and feel so much better and it was worth the wait. I don’t usually review nail salons but I have to for this one because they did an excellent job. I love how the lady, who knew I was a new customer, welcomed me again when she was doing my manicure and told me that she hopes I like them enough to come back again. And in fact most likely I will come back again when I need another mani/​pedi.

I love this place– Kim, whom I really liked doing my pedicures I guess no longer works there but hopefully everyone is as good as her!

My technician was nice, and my toes look good. The place was quite run down, the massage chair sounded like it was going to die. All that I can overlook, but the foot massage was a let down so I won’t be back.

Lovely techniqians!!! Linda is my favorite and she tries hard to have customers walk out feeling proud of their nails! Ive had my nails done here for awhile and was never disappointed. My mom owns one of the top nail salons on newbury st and i still come looking for Linda. She’s awesome (:

I love going to all the staff at Sydney Nails. Lee did my previous gel manicure and it lasted over two weeks! Lina did my gel manicure and pedi the other day, helped me relax from a long week and made my feet and hands look so nice! They all provide great service, are very sweet and hard working.

I tried this place for the first time yesterday and … IT’S AMAZING! My nail tech (Leah) is very meticulous with her craft and so very kind. I specifically remember her saying to me «Let me know what you think and be honest because I want you to be happy.» I got a gel manicure and a pedicure and I have absolutely no complaints. She takes her time and makes sure that everything is perfect. All of the other tech’s are very nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area.
Sidenote: Amanda no longer works here and hasn’t for some time now (for anyone reading the earlier reviews)

Lady I had was super friendly, but I got a gel manicure Wednesday that started chipping away by friday. I won’t be back.

I had my nails done here for my wedding and was really happy with the mani and pedi I got. I have gross feet and it was embarrassing but the man who works there worked very hard to make them nice. I thought to write this because I got this done 2 weeks ago and there isn’t even a chip out of the beautiful French manicure I got. I’m someone who types all day too, so that is surprising! Anyway this is a great place and there are a lot of options in this area, but I was very happy with the service and price.

Very good people, relaxing atmosphere.
Quality service! But French pedicure could have been better

Un gran lugar para mujeres para tema de manicura y un buen lugar para hombres y mujeres en el tema de la pedicura. Eso si es complicado que saquen uñas muy enterradas.

Iv’e been here twice.
Eyebrow wax = 5 stars, both times. Amazing.
Manicure? Not so great. I could have done a better job at home.
I will definitely be back for the cheap and awesome eyebrow waxes, but I’ll skip the mani.

smells very good, very relaxing ambiance 10 $ mani 20& pedi ,
8 $ eyebrows 6 $lil 35 $ Brazilian

I’ve been trying to find a nice affordable place to get my eyebrows done every month so I decided to try this place based on all the positive reviews on Unilocal.
The salon is super small. Crowded and can only seat 3 – 4 people at a time who are waiting to be serviced. When I walked in, there were a bunch of women getting their nails done, talking about «happy endings»…awkward…
So after waiting for like 15 minutes (I didn’t mind, had nothing else going on), I was finally asked to come out back have my brows cleaned up. The lady who worked with me was sweet and friendly and I had no issues with her. The issue arose when I started realizing how sketchy this place was. It looked like I was about to lay down on some DIY bed they made for clients. And there were a bunch of bed sheets hanging up everywhere as dividers. I’m not even sure if this place could pass a health inspection. I would be very surprised.
Guess I’ll be exploring other places in the area…

Best nail salon I have been to in this area! They are clean, efficient and very kind. I have been here for both nail services and waxing and I highly recommend for both. I don’t remember who did my nails the first time I went, but I had my eyebrows waxed by Amanda who did a great job and was very kind and did a really great job if keeping it as painless as possible!
The only reason I am giving Sydney Nails 4 stars instead of 5 is because if it’s busy, it is sometimes difficult to find a place to sit but if you call ahead and make an appointment they can get you in right away. The seating space is not really their fault, it’s a small location and they always greet you and tell you where to sit or stand as soon as you walk in.
