Sage Nails

Today was my first experience having a mani/​pedi at Sage Nails. Like other reviewers, I was impressed with the cleanliness of the salon. I didn’t expect that a mani/​pedi would include the following extras: paraffin treatment, exfoliating cream, warm cloth and hot rock applied to my hands and feet, followed by a light massage. It was a pleasure to be treated so well. Christine was attentive and extremely friendly during my visit. I highly recommend the experience since it is more like a spa than a straight up nail salon.

I try this place, its good but i think is wrong of them to ask for 20% tip when i am already paying $ 55 for a service they are offering.

Avoid this place at all cost — I had a manicure and pedicure here today and was extremely disappointed.
The pedicure was very… uncomfortable — the nail tech tried to push the seat up all the way (as I have shorter legs) and it was as far as it could go. She huffed and puffed while fooling with the cushion. I’m not sure why but she flipped it over and decided that was the best way for me to have a pedicure? With my feet resting on the metal. Fabulous! Then, she made me aware that one of my nails on my toes was broken and asked what she should do. Ok, fine. Just cut it then? You’re the nail professional, not me. Then she proceeded to check her phone in the middle of my pedicure! With gloves on — how extremely rude!
We made it through the pedicure and it went from bad to worse. She began filing my nails a completely different shape than I’m used to (just square.) and before I could notice half of one hand was already done! They were way too short and had rounded edges. Very confused as to why she thought this is what I wanted? I came in with square nails. Then the picking of my cuticles literally had me holding my breath. The polish was applied so sloppily (all around the skin of my nail bed) and so thick that they smudged as I was walking over to the drying station. I didn’t even bother to make a big fuss of it or really to let them dry because I knew I would be just taking it off the minute I got home.
The best thing about this place is the paraffin wax and the country music. Will NOT return back.

I’ve tried most of the local nail places in Watertown and Waltham and Sage is by far the best. Here’s what I love about Sage:
— Nail techs are friendly and very good at listening. I teach yoga and like my nails really short.
— Plastic liners in the pedicure footbaths, so it’s super clean and sanitary
— All nail equipment comes right from the sanitizer
— Amazing massage chairs that are super customizable
— Best part: NO TV! I hate the places with multiple flat screens and TV noise drowning out everything else. No TVs here, just nice background music which really allows you to relax and enjoy doing something nice for yourself.
Sage also offers other services, but I come just for the regular mani/​pedis.
I will say that Sage is a little more expensive than some of the other places, but I will gladly pay more for a super clean, sanitary place with no TVs and great staff.
NOTE: They can get really busy at peak times/​days, so to avoid a long wait, call ahead and make an appointment first.

I actually went back to give them another chance because they are so close to where I live. The first time I went there it was so hot inside no AC on, I had to ask the young lady to allow me to soak for a minute, the water was running and she was getting started on dry feet. First time was horrible, it’s like they have it going for them with the hot rocks, massage, and wax but their staff are terrible. The second time, I swear this girl didn’t even have her nail tech license, she was so young and timid, I could feel the tension in the air when she sat down to try to give me a pedicure. I had to ask her to do a better job, then while I was drying she rubbed my shoulders, then was like «do u want to pay me now?» So unprofessional…

DO NOT GO HERE! Worst manicure I have ever had. I noticed while under the nail blower how horrible of a job they did. The polish was uneven and full of bubbles. I went over and complained to the woman that did the manicure and she offered to fix it. So instead of just re-​applying the polish she starts hacking at my cuticles again (which was totally unnecessary) It was so painful I told her to stop. She didn’t stop and than proceeded to cut my finger and I was bleeding everywhere. Nightmare!!!

Worst place ever or I’m an invisible woman. Sit there for 20 minutes and no one helps me. One star for good magazines.

This place was great. I have been looking for a new salon since moving into the area and this is the place. Gel manicure and pedicure with the parafin wax, hot stone treatment and massage was wonderful. It is clean and very well maintained and parking is free. It is probably a little more expensive than most, but definitely worth it.

Would not go back — waste of $ 30. Went in for pedicure and after waiting an hour in 80 degrees since they did not have AC on, pedicurist raced through in about 15 minutes. Used the file on my feet for about 25 seconds each, slapped some color on my toes, and then called it a day. I could have done a better job myself at home and I’m 8 months pregnant and can’t even touch my toes. Would not recommend.

Great mani experience! Clean, beautiful salon. Friendly service. Bonus hot wax treatment and neck and shoulder massage. Very pleasant experience. My new choice for nail salons.

I only had my eye brows waxed here, so I can not comment on the quality of the manicures or pedicures. She was very thorough (there weren’t many other customers as other have noted, but it was gorgeous outside and I actually preferred this since she did not rush). It was reasonably priced at $ 10 (which is half as much as other places down the street at the Waltham border). The place was clean, they had a wide selection of nail polish and the pedicure chairs appeared comfortable. I was very pleased with how the eye brow wax looked and would go back.

Very clean, welcoming nail nail salon. They have a great selection of Essie and opi colors to pick from. I ruined a nail on the way out the door and they painted it quickly so I could get to my appointment.

Fabulous nail salon!!! I have NEVER written a review before so it would take me a lot to write one but Ive had such a great experience I had to share! I’ve been getting my nails/​toes done at salons all over the place for about 10+ years now and was so impressed here. The first time I went the young man at the front (who spoke English very well) noticed I was cold and asked if he could the heat up for me. And this last time I just went I mentioned to the lady that the last time I had gotten shellac most of them were starting to lift on both sides on the nail day 2. I’ve mentioned things like this before at other places and they never care or do anything about it. I was curious if it would be different this time. I had even taken a picture and showed her. She explained I do have more oily nails beds (which I do) and that your body temp can affect this, which makes sense. She carried on with the appt and at the end said she gave me 50% off and to see how it went this time! I was blown away and will be returning there for business whether the shellac lasts longer or not. A little thing goes a long way these days!

This place is awesome. I have had 2 gel manicures done and they were great. The second better than the first because the gel removal took no time at all an there was no need for hard scraping and filing.
It’s immaculate, easy to park and child friendly. It’s not cheap, but not overpriced. In my opinion you get what you pay for.

I have had many pedicures… I was pretty excited about going to a local spa.
«I really hate needing a pedicure right after I get a pedicure» this should be their slogan!

My friend and I decided to try this place based on the availability of parking and hot stone massages. The salon itself was very clean, spacious, and decorated nice. However, that’s where the positive review ends. I get an acrylic fill every 2 – 3 weeks and have been for the past few years. I should have known when the owner offered me a free brand new lotion that something wasn’t right!
The manicurist didn’t file my old nail down. Instead, he rubbed nail glue all over my nail, dipped the finger in the acrylic powder, sprayed 90 second nail dryer solution on my nail, and then repeated said process 3 – 4 times. I tried to ask him if this was «new way» to do fills, and he just ignored me (or didn’t understand me). At the time, I wrongfully assumed this was some new technique that I’d never had before. Well, the next morning I woke up with 6 of my nails broken (fell off in my sleep).
Even the simple application of nail polish was not great. On both my toes and hands, the nail polish was lumpy. The hot stone massage could have been nice, but it was rushed. The workers seemed stressed and nervous, even thought it was just me and my friend in there. Looking back, I’d be surprised if any of the employees actually were licensed to give services. :-/​
The icing on the cake was the cost — $ 68 for a fill and pedicure!!! This would have been a nice treat if the hot stone massage was more than just one swipe over the skin and if the mani/​pedi were legit. Needless to say, I will not be going back here. I’ll walk the mile to my local girl who always leaves me and my wallet happy. And if I want a stone massage, I’ll go to a real massage spot.

Sage Nails is a new nail salon in Watertown Ma! GREAT service I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice clean location. They even have parking what more could you ask for!

This place is literally brand new, the whole building was just finished and they are currently the only occupants. So inside is very clean. They could use a few more decorations/​art on the walls. They have plenty of great massage chairs for pedicures. They use plastic liners in the foot soak bins, so you know its clean. I got pedicure only. The lady who did mine did a fabulous massage! They do an exfoliating scrub as well as hot stones. She did offer me something (i honestly did not understand exactly what) that would take the callous off my heels, but was $ 10 more! no thanks. The pedi is $ 30, but they’re giving 15% off for their grand opening, so it was $ 26. Its about $ 5 more expensive than my normal place in Cambridge, but closer, so I’ll probably be back now and again.
Overall a good pedicure, very nice massage, friendly staff, and a nice open clean space. I’d recommend giving it a try! And they have a parking lot in the back, so thats easy.

I decided to try this new nail salon. I do not recommend it. There was no customers in the salon on a Saturday morning. They were not friendly at all for a new
Business and the gentlemen who did my gel
Manicure was very slow. My biggest shock was that it was 30.00 with the discount. It hasn’t even been a week yet and my gel manicure which should last at least two weeks is already chipping.

So happy to have found this nail salon. The salon itself is beautiful, warm, and inviting. The manicure and pedicure services are very clean and professional. They use plastic liners for the foot tub, cleanse and sterilize their instruments, etc. Included in the pedicure and manicure services are hot stone massage, paraffin wax, and exfoliation/​moisturizing massage. The nail technicians are very attentive to your needs/​wants. This is my new go to place and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Also good to know, since they recently opened, they are offering 15% off their already great prices. You won’t regret trying this nail spa!
