Fancy Fingers

I love this place. My nails are on fleek whenever I come here. I even take the bus if I have to in order to get my nails done at fancy fingers.

I like to get the gel polish because I work with my hands in water all day and regular doesn’t last. I went to a number of different salons trying to find one that would actually do a manicure where I could get the promised 2 weeks for a Shellac. After seeing Jen here, I found my nail salon! She is incredibly meticulous and my gel lasts anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks. As a florist, I am very hard on my hands so believe me, I put it to the test and I’m very pleased with the result!

Use to go here years ago, and was in a pickle so headed back. Quickly remembered why I stopped going in the first place. Lazy Nail Techs that don’t even bother to dust of your hands in between procedures. Also instead of opening a fresh bottle of polish when low they just add that liquid thinner until polish is so watered down it hardly looks like the color it started as. Did I mention the pedi water was ice cold, like swimming in artic mid January, and the full set that resembled cement blocks on my fingers lasted a whole day before they started lifting and popping off? Putting your car in park becomes a dangerous task cuz nails start flying off left and right! EPIC FAIL

The ladies at this place are always so grumpy! Not a very welcoming place at all. The environment is so bitter. Would not recommend this spot at all to anyone. I should’ve gone to Expert Nails down the street!

Don’t like this nail salon primarily because you walk in and know one greets you instead you get greeted by a bunch of death stares. I had to walk up to one of the ladies and tell them what I wanted and was told to wait a half hour and they weren’t even busy they had two manicurist available to be able to help me but instead was told to keep waiting only stayed 20 minutes because it didn’t take long for me to witness their awful customer service. One of there regulars walks in and of course they get treated perfectly and were taken right away! I know she didn’t have an appointment because I over heard her say «she was just around the corner and decided to stop by» place is pretty shabby looking but I never let that bother me as much as that’s not what’s important it’s how you get treated and customer service and this place by far lacks it

Not a bad place to get your nails done. They don’t rush, but are time efficient, are fairly polite, but do speak in their native language to one another more than to the customer. They have a good selection of polish colors and all of the technicians are pretty good. Manicures are good, very neat and clean, they use clean tools which are taken from a sanitizer machine, shellac comes out very nicely and lasts about 1.5 weeks. Pedicures are nicely done and they give a good foot and leg massage. They also do great eyebrow waxing.

One star for walking out with your standard, half-​way decent manicure.
Couldn’t walk into a bunch of ruder ladies. I’ve been going here for a couple of years ONLY because it is a few minutes from my apartment. It’s the same drill every time. You walk in, the girls look at you like you’re interrupting their tv show and tell you to pick a color. You sit down and get your basic manicure. The girls don’t smile, they treat you as if you’re in line at a manicure factory, scowl at you, and boom — you’re done and sitting under the dryers. Might I add that the «massage» you get after all the technicals are done on your nails lasts 9 seconds. That’s right, 9 seconds per hand. I timed it. Plus they don’t even cut your cuticles that well. I had to ask her to cut more because they clearly still looked messy. You should’ve seen the scowl I got after that one, lol… I didn’t even bother to ask her to remove the bits of nail polish left on my skin after the manicure was over.
Look, I get it, $ 10 manicures? You get what you pay for. And that’s true, though I know other places further from me where a $ 10 manicure buys you a relaxing 30 minutes and a job well done. But there is no such thing as customer service here. They look at you with contempt and don’t give a damn about making your manicure an enjoyable experience. I am not going here anymore. I can find another place where I might actually feel welcome by walking through the front door.

They pretty much refused me service. Everytime, I would call they would say they are busy. I’m not saying they are racist BUT…

I wanted to find a nail salon in Revere, so this place was recommended on Unilocal.I made an appointment for a mani/​pedi, and when I arrived the sat me down for my pedicure and it was great. Then while they are doing the pedicure a customer is arguing about being over charged for her manicure because she didn’t have enough money. Once the argument was over, I asked if I could get the shellac manicure and they told me to come back tomorrow because they didn’t have time. So I made an appointment and came back the next day. I waited for 45 minutes after my scheduled appt to get seated, while they took their frequent customers first. I was not happy for this place, so I am looking for a better nail salon in Revere.

Best gel manicure I have ever had! The manicurist was very meticulous and precise. She used Shellac which I like better than Opi gel. The price was $ 28 but totally worth it!!! I highly recommend this nail salon. My new found favorite!

I go here every 2 weeks or so for a fill. The service is always friendly and fast. I love the color choices and it is a plus that they are open Sundays. Prices are very reasonable as well.

Fancy Fingers is a great nail salon conveniently located on Broadway in Revere. The staff is friendly, the facilities are clean and they do a great job. The reason I decided to make this post is because at my latest visit I saw that Fancy Fingers now has Shellac. If you don’t know, Shellac is a gel polish manicure that eliminates drying time and lasts 2 weeks, plus it’s better for your nails than acrylics or regular gel. The only downside to this system is the number of colors available – 10, but I was assured that next month there would be new colors to try. If you’re sick of manicures that chip quickly, try Shellac!

This place is everything a walk-​in nail salon should be. It is on the busiest street in the city, there is a copious amount of neon signage, English is easily the third or fourth language spoken, there is deplorable fluorescent lighting, advertisements for nail polish are from the early 90’s, and nearly the instant you mutter the words «mani-​pedi» you find your self holding a three month old Marie Claire that is torn on the binding, your rear-​end in a massage chair, and your feet in a tub of warm bubbling water. It is magnificent.
I discovered this gem about a year ago on a walk around my neighborhood. I wanted to go to the «spa» that is right down the road, but their mani-​pedi person had just left for the day, so I reluctantly went to this place. Now, I want to be adamant about this; I had the best pedicure I have ever had at this place! They have this crazy heating-​mint-​scrub-​gel stuff that they lather onto your feet and legs once the foot Jacuzzi is through, and then they wrap your feet in a moist towel and let you sit for a few minutes. Oh My God! It is totally fantastic! And the ladies that work there are all really nice too especially considering the fact that I had to have them repeat themselves three times every time they spoke, but that is my fault.
So, with all this overly positive gushing, why the 4 stars instead of 5 you wonder. Well, in all fairness, it is kind of to protect my pride, though if I were in their position I would have done the same exact thing… The first time I went to them I totally messed up BOTH the manicure and the pedicure a collective, three times before I even got out the door. I will take the blame; it was my own clumsy fault, and I did tip accordingly because the woman fixed my blunders no problem. However on my way out the door, the woman that gave me the mani-​pedi asked me my name, and there is no mistaking the fact that I had just become the story of the day, maybe even the week. I know that they were just having a good time, but still, that fact prevented me from going back here for a good 6 months because I was convinced that they would recognize me the second I walked in. In all reality though, I need to get over myself because I am not that important and it is a pretty funny story in my opinion.
