The Orchid

I’ve tried several different nail salons in the area, and nothing compares. This is definitely my go to. Nancy is the best– she is fast and does a great job! I always have short nails and she does a flawless manicure every time– and lasts over 2 weeks. Other places I go, they start to chip after a week. Like most nail salons, they do not accept tips on a credit card, so just be aware of that!

I never actually had any of their services so this review is based on customer service or lack thereof. I’d give zero stars if possible. Their website says they close at 7:30 pm so I called at 6:15 to ask if there was a wait for a pedi. I was literally 3 minutes away according to google maps. The woman who answered said they close at 6:30. She could tell I was confused by the early close so she said they’re on winter hours but they aren’t posted on the website. So okay. Maybe think about updating your website. I then said, «Well it’s 6:15 so you aren’t closed yet.» She said she couldn’t do a pedicure in 15 minutes. Here’s my view– when businesses close before their actual close time and actually decline service to a customer that says to me you’re lazy and you don’t want to make money. I’ll never patronize a place that has poor business practices like that.

I love this place — they consistently do a great job on my nails and all the ladies working are very kind and detail oriented. Nancy does a great job with my eyebrows too. My gel mani typically lasts 3 weeks, no complaints!
After coming here for over a year, I have never been disappointed.

Great place! They do awesome work and are very friendly and welcoming! It’s the only place I go for my gel manicure!

I had a great pedicure here last weekend. It was busy, but they were able to work me in. A week later, my pedicure is holding up nicely! The place is clean and relaxing. Great experience!

I have only ever had my eyebrows and upper lip waxed, but they have always been very nice and accommodating (as I tend to be a walk in when I have the time or the mood strikes me). They have given my eyebrows a good shape and are very thorough when shaping and plucking. I think their prices are reasonable as well.

Have been here a few times and had only one bad experience here, but really like the quality of work they do here & nice staff. I’ve been back sense then and had only great service.
Yesterday was the last day off their hot stone massage with pedicure. Amazing!!!
Also got a gel manicure, they have the most colors I’ve ever seen at a nail salon. Perfectly done.
I’ve had my eyebrows done here before $ 10 and always done well.
They do take a long time to do both the pedicure and manicure so I only go on a day off. I appreciate how long they massage during the pedicure so I think it’s worth the wait.

I tried this place for a bikini wax before a vacation. Absolutley love them. Great job. I then switched to have them do my mani pedi’s as well. always accommodating and professional. highly recommend

I’ve been living in Quincy for a few years now ND I’ve FINALLY found my nails salon! The Orchid is by far the best salon that I’ve been too in Quincy. I’ve been to at least a dozen around Quincy and have been disappointed… Until I found The Orchid. All the manicurist are very friendly, especially Donna! Donna is awesome! She guaranteed me that my gel manicure would last at least 10 days. And my manicure still looks like it does when I got them done. There are no lifting and no chips. I’m very impressed! I will definitely be going back to The Orchid and to see Donna!

Very good atmosphere! Nice and easy-​going stuff! Very accurate in coloring nails! Also the massage chairs are great and relaxing! They took me and my friend right away, when in other salons we had to wait for at least an hour! Would definitely come back!
Nancy is a professional!

The owner had promised to replace my glasses but then dodged my emails and calls for months. When I finally went to the business to confront the owner, she denied ever knowing the history of this event and tried to blame the customer. It was extremely unprofessional and I have since filed for small claims court. You should not have your personal items thrown around when going to get a service done especially something as benign as a manicure. It’s unprofessional.

The ladies did an okay job on mine and my moms nails. However, there were no TVs and it is a very cramped spot. There are TONS of options for nails in Quincy and I probably wound not go back. I heard one of the nail technicians ask a customer when she was due. As if asking when she was due to have her baby. When the patron said ‘excuse me’ the tech said it louder so it was hard not to hear. It was painful to watch as the patron said she was not pregnant and then all the women started talking in their native language, laughing. I know I wouldnt appreciate that sort of mockery so I will probably try out the salon down the street next time.

I really like this nail salon. It’s a short walk from my apartment. You can pay with a credit card, but you have to tip with cash.
The chairs were comfy, and they did a great job on my stinky toes: P. The girls are nice & friendly.
I will probably make this my main nail salon. I’ll be back in the near future. Pricing is much cheaper than other salons I have been too.

I went to The Orchid because my usual salon was booked and I needed a pedi before going on vacation. They were able to take me right away (11am on a weekday). I’ll definitely be back.
I have to say as far as customer service goes, this place takes the cake. The owner, Nancy, was not doing my nails but came over and introduced herself because she didn’t recognize me. She also introduced the other women working. Nice people and lovely atmosphere.
$ 35 for a mani/​pedi, with the best massage chairs that I’ve sat in.

I cheated on my usual nail salon which was booked solid and I needed an appointment as soon as possible. I called The Orchid which is only a few doors down and they had availability for my friend and I — Mani’s and Pedi’s.
I’m actually so happy that I was able to come in because I may have to come here from now on. Nancy, the owner was the sweetest and she took her time on my friend’s nails and toes. We all chit chatted and had a great time last night.
Vivian, gave me an awesome gel manicure! She wasn’t supposed to be working last night but came to do my nails. She’s 9 months pregnant but working hard. she was so careful and precise when doing my nails. I love that! It was so nice of her to come in. Another person did my pedicure, I didn’t catch her name. She was just as good as the rest. This is a great spot to relax and get a really nice manicure and pedicure.
Nancy also did my eyebrows, they came out great.
The salon is small but very clean and very nicely decorated. They have 2 massage chairs for pedicures and a room in the back for facials and waxing.
Gel manicure — $ 30
Pedicure — $ 25
Eye Brows — $ 10

I have been a regular customer of Orchid since I moved to Quincy. I typically get a gel manicure ($ 30) and an eyebrow wax ($ 10). The gel manicure is fantastic and does not peel or chip. They are also very meticulous with the eyebrow shaping. During the summers I also get a pedicure, which is also was one of the best I’ve had.
Orchid Spa is very clean, very updated, and the customer service is tremendous. They are all friendly and kind. Vivian and Nancy know all their customers by name. The second time I returned they remembered my name. They take their time and don’t rush through any service.
Orchid is one of the best nail places around. I don’t go anywhere else!

I came in to get a gel manicure ($ 30) for my wedding. I’m on day 5 and there is no lifting of the polish or chips. *thumbs up* I’ve had bad gel polish before where there were bubbles and thick globs were painted on. The polish really held up.
The salon is on the small-​ish side but that is fine with me since both my gel manicure and regular pedicure held up well.

When I get my nails done, I care about two things: cleanliness and customer service. The Orchid is one of the cleanest nail places I’ve been to (not just in Quincy) and the women who work there are so friendly/​welcoming. I don’t go on a regular basis (maybe once every 4 – 6 weeks) yet they always remember my name.
I haven’t tried any of the facial/​waxing treatments but their mani/​pedis are awesome. They are so meticulous and really take their time.
They accept walk-​ins but you’re better off with a scheduled appt.
One thing to note: cash only for tips

Cute little nail salon in the Wollaston area. No parking lot but street parking in the area is readily available.
Manicure and pedicure for $ 35 with a comfortable massage chair and excellent service. While the lady did my nails, I did notice that there was no TV in the salon but the soothing music from their radio made me feel relaxed. Also noticed how clean everything in the salon was — from their tools to the floor and sink.
The salon seems like they have a lot of regulars so I would call ahead for an appointment becaus they filled up fast while I was there.

I LOVE this place.
Their prices are the same as any generic Quincy Nail salon but the quality of their work is signifiganly better. They don’t half as ANYTHING! They take their time and do a ver tharough job. I’ve had my nails done, my eyebrows and most of my face waxed there. They lady did one of the best eyebrow jobs I have ever had in my life! And the lady who did my nails didn’t give up until my cuticals were gone!
I will never go anywhere else…
