Red Persimmon Nails

I have given this location 4 chances I’ve seen 3 different people. Whether you make an appointment or not request a certain tech or not you will be ignored for a few minutes before someone offers to take you. Each time I felt rushed I’m not sure a fill is supposed to be as painful as it has been the last 2 times and the last straw for me was when I seen the tools being taken out of a acrylic dust filled old Altoids container. The files and tools have nail dust all over them suggesting that cleanliness is not top priority. For these reasons I will not be back.

Came here to get a pedicure because it’s the only place close to me that’s open late & I really wanted to relax & get a pedicure because I’m pregnant. Anyways while I was getting my pedicure she was doing my cuticles and it hurt so badly. But I was like whatever. Then she scrubbed the bottom of both of my feet and it fucking KILLED & left burn marks. Oh & it gets worse; she cut my big toe and it was bleeding. Like what the fuck? Talk about horrible experience. Never coming back here again. Stay awayyyy!!! Didn’t tip her she doesn’t deserve it. #sorrynotsorry

Worst pedicure ever! My big toe was literally only half painted for the second coat, it looked like I had two different colors on the same nail. The rest of my nails had polish all over the cuticles. Very blotchy and terrible nail painting technique. Extremely disappointed and will not return.

Awful! Terrible! Rude! Dirty!
How is this place still in business? I get that it’s convenient and open late, which are the ONLY reasons I was there in the first place, but there are SO MANY other BETTER nail salons around, how do they ever get repeat business???
The woman who did my nails was rude and did the WORST job I have ever had. I actually had to ask her to paint my whole finger nail and she still didn’t! They started chipping after a day!
I was here with a friend and the woman giving her a pedicure actually told her that he big toe was ugly! Who says that??? She had surgery on her toe when she was little!
The place is dirty. I asked for her to put my sandals back on before she starting painting my toes and she refused, instead put on these flimsy «slippers» made out of paper and had me walking around the dirty floor with them, they were turning up so my feet kept touching the ground. It was disgusting.
Negative 2 stars for the customer service and negative 3 for the work!
I could have done a better job myself at home and saved a lot of money. Next time I will be sure to do that before giving this place any money.

Horrible! This place was horrible. They rush you the entire time. They aren’t so friendly. They completely messed my nails up and «NO REFUNDS» STAY AWAY!

I wish I could give this place no stars!!! I got a set of acrylic nails with a gel manicure to go with them, and she was buffering nails so hard I kept say it hurts so she would stop and then start going hard again until she made my finer bleed and she kept saying sorry but wouldn’t stop goin to deep into the side of my nails into my finger. so after that she applied the gel polish and the color came out great but the next day my finger was really sore so I just put some ice on it thinking it would go away but a few hours after my finger blew up like a balloon and was turning red and blue so I went to the hospital and the doctor said I got a infection!!! thay had to numb my finger and cut it open and a lot of yellow pus just came puring out!!! It was so painful, scary and discusting!!! So please DONT NOT GO HEAR!!! THAIR ARE TERRIBLE!!!

After six months, my nails have not recovered. I had 2 manicures here and the technicians buffed my nails from side to side, across the nail bed. This scratched off some of the top layer and now my already weak nails are broken indifferent layers. The ends are ragged and keep breaking. It may take anther six months before I can undo the damage done here

When you walk in, make a note of the big sign that says «No Refunds»! Apparently this place is so horrible, that you will want one. I ended up here because I needed a pedicure before I left for vacation the next day and they were open late. The woman seemed to actually take enjoyment in hurting me! I had just had 2 pedicures back to back at a good place several weeks apart, so it’s not like my feet could have been so bad. 3 days into my vacation, half my polish was gone and I had to take it all off. I know it’s unusual but one at my usual place lasts 3 weeks or more. I RAN out of there as fast as I could! Never again!

Some of the girls do a great job… others not so much. What I don’t like is that I feel like I’m in a vietnamese chicken coup… Way too much vietnamese cackling going on. I think it’s so rude that they speak their language so loudly and frequently. It makes for a very unpleasant experience. Speak English ladies…

OMG. my nails are so dope. this place is the best. if I could give this place 10 stars, I’d give it a billion. I will be going here always. the staff was so warm and inviting and they even high fived me on my way out… maybe I should repeat: THEY GAVE ME HIGH FIVES! my mind is blown that high fives even exist anymore. keep being you red persimmons! you rule and stuff.

I was in the mall and wanted to get my nails done for a special night event so I went here for the convenience of the location. I was told to sit for a pedicure and she started on my left foot. She dug out a huge piece of the corner of my right big toe nail and was so proud of her accomplishment she showed me the chunk she took out. It hurt me but it wasn’t horrible. Then she proceeded to work on the other side corner of the same nail and I couldn’t take the pain. Both sides of my nail bed were bleeding. I yelled for her to stop. They had the audacity to tell me she was working with new tools and they are super sharp but we all know it’s the tech and not the tools. We aren’t stupid. The picture is after they cleaned it up and put something on it to control the bleeding. It started to bleed again later that night.

This nail salon is really hit or miss depending on which nail technician you get. I’ve been going sporadically since 2007, only when I need something quick done. I’ve had both great and terrible experiences here. Some of the nail technicians do an OUTSTANDING job, while others you can tell just don’t care — and almost seem annoyed by you. If you’re feeling lucky, give them a try.

Well I was not expecting much from a nail salon at this horrible mall, but it was New Year’s Eve and I was short of time to go to my regular nail place. I was impress by the good service in this place, I am in love with my manicure. With $ 13 dollars I started the year with beautiful nails ;)

I have had many pedicures here in which the polish lasts up to 3 weeks, so I’m unsure of what some of the complaints were. They are under new management and the new manager is wonderful. I always see her going out of her way. I generally get my hair colored here. Joanne took me from a dark brunette to a blonde without bleach in 3 sessions. Once I decided to go back to brunette, it came out wonderful. She also gives a great haircut and this is the only salon I have ever bought product from. She is genuine and thoughtful. Highly recommend for hair.

I usually wait 2 weeks after my manicure to write a review. But today I decided to get my gel manicure here.
omg. They are horrible. These ladies need to understand that even though gel polish is a like a «polish», you can’t apply the gel like regular polish, fast and sloppy. I have gel on my cuticles. wt FUCK is that shit. Also the base coat was VERY CHUNKY, so obviously the next two coats are chunky. My 2 year old can do a better job. I have pretty nice long nail beds, its not difficult to apply the gel on my ACTUAL NAIL.
UGH. Also, these ladies are speaking vietnamese. I understand what you are saying ladies. I know you used the CHEAP imitation base and top coat «gel». It has a name I can’t even remember. One of the workers walks up to my table and said whatever the hell she said, but i knew she meant «GOOD YOU USED THE CHEAP ONE».
Did I mention that she made me pay her before she even did the job. YEAH and she dare asked me for change. Like am i really going to give you a 10 $ tip, when I havent seen the job.
Seriously this lady could have taken her time and get a happy client, because im pretty sure she wasn’t going to get any more clients today (i came in around 730)
The only good thing about this place is that it closes when the mall closes. Most salons close before 8pm. I know this mall is «trashy» so it says on other reviews, but if you want to keep a business running shouldn’t you do your job correctly? Just because the salon is in a trashy mall doesn’t mean the qaulity of business has to go down also.
If you desperately need a mani, DONT COME HERE. do it yourself. TRUST.
sorry for the long review I needed to RANT. im just so angry and if you read my other reviews on nails salons. This has got to be the worst.
Unilocal, can I give NO stars?
***********UPDATE*********
Approximately 22 hours after i received my manicure, I decided to go back and demand a refund (like a boss) but apparently they dont do REFUNDS because many clients come and demand their money back. WELL DUH!!! IF you do a shitty job, LOOK AT MY PHOTOS. I am NOT OVER EXAGGERATING. I would never ask for a refund without any shame but this is JUST UNACCEPTABLE.
I want to cut my fingers off. I have to wait until tomorrow to get this crap off.

I guess if you’re stuck at the mall waiting for traffic to die down and really don’t want to deal with the trashy locals who hang out here, it’s a minor redeeming quality of the mall. I ran into Dick’s to pick up some stuff for my half marathon in a few days, didn’t want to sit in traffic to get home, so thought a pre-​race pedicure to trim back the talons might be a good way to blow time. There was no wait, but in retrospect I kind of wish there were as we would have gone elsewhere. I really almost got up mid– pedicure four times, it was that bad.
We were quickly brought to the back of the nail salon, to two seats that looked like their better days were in 1986. Kind of on par with the rest of the Square One Mall stores. Aside from the fact that the wash basins weren’t draining and didn’t offer warm water, they were just gross. I’m not sure they were sanitary at all, so I’m still waiting for a case of foot fungus to set in.
The person I had mauling my feet didn’t speak much English, and while I can usually navigate around that, she just didn’t seem to get things like «this hurts» «please stop» or «I only want my toenails filed, not cut». When I’d try to wiggle my foot away from her out of pain, she’d latch on like a hungry raptor and drag it closer to her. I honestly don’t care that her English skills weren’t good, but PLEASE don’t continue if I’m telling you something hurts. I was also really skeeved out that she wasn’t wearing gloves for part of the pedicure. Gross.
Overall, it looks like my five year old cousin painted my nails. She did happen to get 99.9% of the dead skin off my feet, and about 80% of the un-​dead skin off my feet as well, as I left bleeding from some spots on the soles of my feet. My nails are cut all funky and she split one of my pinky toenails. Some of the nails also weren’t completely trimmed, and the cuts are in places I can’t file out so if I take the band-​aid off, it gets caught on my socks and tears the nail. Horrible.
A few days after this experience, I have bruises on my legs from this chick’s fingers digging into me during the «massage».
While I’m sure there are competent people here, I did not get one. She was more concerned with rushing through the job to get more tips, or to do something else– who knows. She didn’t take care of my feet. AT ALL, and I was not happy with the $ 25 pedicure.
I should know better at this point. I need to have patience to get an appointment at my usual place and stop going to cheap chains for pedicures, since I am getting what I pay for and I’m NOT happy with the results.

They were ok. Fast but I did the shellac manicure and after 3 days the nails are peeling. I would use them only if I needed a regular manicure but no more shellac from them.

Definitely cheap place that gets the job done. I’m not expecting much out of an express nail salon in the mall. No need for the ass-​kissing that goes down in luxury spas so I don’t mind the fact that some of the ladies talk and some don’t. I get in and out. It’s perfect for when I need a quick fix-​me-​up but only have an hour to spare. Their French Manicure came out nice and my brows looked good! I live in LA now and come back to Boston for work every other month so it’s good to know this place is around.

I went here for a manicure and was feeling mighty fine until the woman stopped right in the middle of the process and told me I had to pay before she would finish the rest. WHAT!!! Wow I guess I have nothing better to do then cheat this place out of 12 bucks. Uh ok loser here’s your twelve bucks. What… no honey you are not getting a tip. See ya… never again.

I should have known better than to trust a nail place in a trashy mall, but I was desperate for a pedicure. The place was busy and had a 20 minute wait, so I figured it couldn’t be all that bad right? I couldn’t have been more wrong.
First off, almost no one spoke English. I’m ok with that, a lot of nail places have people with language barriers, but most of the time SOMEONE can communicate efficiently. That was not the case here. Whatever, miming can work and we moved on.
I was sat in a broken massage chair that looked like it could use a decent cleaning, but all the tools looked to be in the proper sanitizer. The woman who did my pedicure was extremely rough, even after I showed discomfort. She managed to scrub a decent sized hole in the back of my heal and instead of apologizing and treating it, she laughed at me. I asked her to stop and just paint my toes and she seemed mad at me, like I was the one in the wrong!
I had intended to speak to a manager, but of course the language barrier happened again. Forget it. I paid for the pedi but of course left no tip, which set the girl off again. I don’t like confrontation, so I just left never to return again.
Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else or do it yourself. It’s not worth the pain to come here, literally.
