Hollywood Nails

No matter when I come in they always have time and are incredibly friendly. Although one of the new women is so rough, she buffed my toes so rough that she cut my skin =(and also cut me nails so short it looked like I bit them off (they are acrylic) disappointing. Other then this one experience I have been here 20+ times and this has never happened. I had someone else last time. I’ll be sure to speak up and make sure not to have this woman again. The owner is amazing and so accommodating though after seeing this. Love this place I bring my mother and nieces and they all get great work done.

These gals do a great job! I never have to wait, they’re quick and efficient, and as far as I can tell, clean. They’re super kind and don’t chat too much. Prices are great for the quality! My only complaint would be that sometimes when I get gel, when it grows out a bit, it isn’t smooth at my nail bed but rather jagged and thick which can cause it to peel. But for a $ 15 gel change, I don’t lose sleep over it.

Efficient, friendly and very professional staff. They offer you refreshments and never make you feel rushed. They take their time and make you feel like a valued customer. Prices are very reasonable.
I recommend the deluxe pedicure
Love them!

Went in here today for a pedicure. Walked right in & was taken immediately. The place was clean, and packed. The nail tech was very gentle, friendly, and did a great job. The pedicure was fantastic. I highly recommend this nail salon. I will not go anywhere else!!!

I go here all the time and i love it! they know who i am and how i like my nails done and they come out just the way i want to every time. if I’m not happy with the color they are very understanding and have no problem changing it.

Hollywood Nails is what I consider to be ‘down the middle of the road’. The girls who work here are pleasant, hardworking and excel in their trade. No problem/​s there. Manicures, fills, pedicures, hot rocks, massage chairs, lotions are all here. Boy they feel good. An abundance of polish colors decorate the back wall. No shortage of choices. Plenty of staff & plenty of patronage. Seems like everyone working here has a license (some salons have inspections and get ‘tickets/​perr/​employee’ for those working w/​o license. BE CAREFUL.
The ‘owner’ of Hollywood Nails, I find to be quite greedy and maybe the worst scheduler on the earth. Once while there a little girl who had chosen her nail color & given it to technician had technician ‘talked her out of color of choice’. When technician’s color was finished, little girl didn’t like it. Told her mom who was taking a pedicure. Mom called owner over and told her what happened. Owner would NOT change color for free… insisting it would cost $ 5.00. {That’s the greed’ to which I refer to.}
Appointment times? Close but no bullseye. SATURDAY? Don’t bother. Full of customers. TV {are 2} but owner doesn’t know how to work remote control.
Parking not a problem. Long hours.

I went here for the first time today. My husband bought me a gift cert for a mani and pedi for Mother’s Day. It was a great experience. They were swamped when my friend and I arrived at 1030 on a Saturday (walk-​in). We were seated for our pedis in 15 minutes. The staff was very friendly and nice. The massage chairs are great. The pedi was amazing, best I’ve had. They massage your legs with this exfoliating scrub, buff away the dry skin, scented lotion massage, and cut, trim, and paint toe nails. It was great. The mani was great too. My nails look great and I’m super happy. The place was very clean and affordable, $ 35 for mani and pedi. This is my new go to nail salon.

Came here for a pedicure after hearing good things, and I’m glad I went! The people who work there are very nice. They talk to each other more than you, but that’s OK with me, as I just like to relax anyway. For only $ 20 I got my toenails trimmed and painted, all of my calluses buffed away and a hot stone leg massage. Everything looked clean and sanitary and they cut my toenails the «right» way to prevent ingrown nails (straight across, not curved).
The place was packed and people were waiting, so I’d suggest making an appointment. Ask for Kelly or Ann (the owner), though I’m sure they’re all great.
I sometimes feel icky about places that charge so little, because I feel that the employees may not be making a fair wage. But business is definitely booming here, so I hope that’s the reason they are so affordable. I try to tip well just in case, which I’m happy to do because they did such a great job.

Got the gel nails here. Came out really well. Get compliments on them all the time. Been about 3 weeks and polish looks great shines etc. This place is always swamped, they do good work, have good prices but I don’t think really anyone understands English too well here which is sad and makes you feel a little bit like it’s a factory and not a spa experience. However, that said the massage chairs and pedicure was really nice. One of the best I’ve had. Lots of people in this place all the time. Expect to be there for a bit if your getting a mani and a pedi.

I really wanted to like this place but I end up having red bumps on my legs and my feet are itchy. Maybe it was bad luck that I got the pedicure chair where a previous customer has something contagious (I really hope not!). I know I’m not allergic to what they use because I’ve used them many times in the past of the same brand. Anyways, I upgraded my pedicure to a deluxe spa pedicure for a special price at $ 35 (I tipped 30%) which included hot stone, foot mask, and two other things that I didn’t get (probably because my feet doesn’t need it). With the upgrade, picking a nail polish, painting, and time to dry, I was there for about fourty minutes.
Pros:
— prices are reasonable, though on the higher of the average in MA. Do I really care? Not really. I care more about quality.
— clean atmosphere
— staffs seem nice
— there’s parking
— a lot of selection for shellac polish (great for those who get gel manicures!)
— everything seems to be upgraded
Cons:
— not that much of a selection for regular nail polishes, at least not to me. This could be a personal thing where I’m used to a larger selection.
— I got red bumps all over my legs. I’m using a steriod cream and hopefully it goes down.
Would I come back? Probably not. I probably would have if only red bumps didn’t show up on my legs. I’ve gotten many pedicures before. This is the first time it has ever happened to me. =\

This place is great! I loved every second of my pedicure… I got a French pedicure for $ 30 with leg exfoliation, hot rocks, and warm oil massages. It was so relaxing and it was just what I needed after a long week at work.
I have paid $ 35 for less than mediocre pedicures at other places, and it makes me appreciate this place even more. They are a small and attentive business, very aware of their quality as opposed to rushing through their pedicures. I spent an hour here with my mother and loved every minute.
Five stars for giving me my money’s worth and such a nice Saturday afternoon.

I love Hollywood nails! I see Lena just about every 2 weeks, she is so sweet, and does such a good job! Although all the girls there are extremely nice and accommodating! The owner never turns anyone away, and you are never kept waiting long. Any time I need an appointment I get in right away! I will never go anywhere else but here :)

*sigh* I so wanted to like this place enough to make it my regular salon…
I called ahead went in for a french pedicure and shellac manicure last Saturday. I am 7mos pregnant and the technician assigned to me was very careful and sweet, at first. HOWEVER…
I had asked for very thin french tips on my toes– She did her thing and asked ‘Is this okay?’ The tips were literally ¼″ thick… Gross. I asked her to take them back a lot more (like 50%) and she proceeded to take very little off and ask again. We did this exchange four times before I gave up trying to get them even remotely the way I wanted. She then proceeded to question the persistence of my request, «Why do you want them so thin?!» (In my mind: Because I like them like that and it’s never been a problem before… Is that okay with you?) In spite of being frustrated, I continued to be patient and would never be anything short of kind with someone who has to deal with my scary feet.
Then we move on to the shellac manicure. I had picked a light clear pink (a very common shellac color). The technician told me it was too light and that it’s not the color I want. She proceeded to try and get me to pick a glitter or foil-​purple option. I just wanted good old plain, clear pink like I always have! She continued to question my preferences as we went along with the manicure. We finished up and I gave her a huge tip in spite of the fact that we had our differences… Perhaps she caught me on a wacky pregnant lady day or something. I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Immediately I notice that my cuticles are peeling up and my the tips of my nails are rough and catch on everything I touch. Awesome!
FOUR DAYS later (Tuesday) the shellac starts peeling up. Aren’t these supposed to last at least a week?! I have a wedding to go to on Sunday. Wth!
I go in to fix them today, and the technician that fixes them is sweet, does a great job, and does not charge me (I tip her for her time). The technician that had first taken care of me is there. When the technician doing the repairs gets up for a moment, the other technician takes the opportunity to say to me «I TOLD you that color is too light…» As if the issue was originally my fault! I told her that the color of the paint has nothing to do with the quality of work, and that light pink has never been a problem for me in the past. Right off the bat, she was incredibly defensive and for what reason? I don’t know.
The main point: Avoid the technician that sits furthest from the door if you know what you want and you don’t like to be criticized. Other than that, Hollywood Nails is great! I just wont be going back, myself…

My fave nail salon in the state! I have tried different nail salons, but none has compared to this one. All the ladies are great, but I only go to Tara. She is great. I found this place on one of those I need a mani/​pedi 911 status. I came in, didn’t wait long, I got the shellack mani, pedi, and eye brow wax for $ 45. The prices are not only great but the salon is clean (they disinfect right after use). In addition, you get rock and warn oild massages for both hands and feet. They are quick, but not sloppy. My nails are always perfect! I came in by accident last July, and have been going back ever since.

It is hard to find a good nail salon around Weymouth/​Abington area. Today was my first time at Hollywood Nails. I have to say that my daughter and I are really happy for the treatment we received. Our nails are beautiful. Kim worked on my nails and she did a good job. I also like the way they work with their clients: they don’t shift around (i.e. one girl cleans your nails, one girl massages your hands. Just for them to be finished with you).

I’ve gone to many nail salons over the years and have also reviewed a lot of them. I was in search for a new salon after my old favorite in Braintree is under new owners once again and the quality of the service has dropped. Hollywood Nails was close and had a lot of decent reviews from Unilocal and from friends. They were all right. This salon was great. I received a mani/​pedi for $ 35 and it was worth it for the massage alone. Oil and hot stone massage at the end of the pedicure was perfect. Both polishes stayed on a few days longer than normal which was appreciated. The color selection has many brands, but not as many shades as I would have liked. I tend to get hang nails/​messy cuticles after a manicure but after this one everything was fine. I would definitely recommend going in if you can. Mostly walk ins, so don’t worry about an appointment.

A group of friends and I stopped by Hollywood Nails this weekend, four of us getting pedicures and the other getting a shellac manicure.
The manicurists (and chairs) at Hollywood Nails made our afternoon! The massage chairs were relaxing, sometimes awkward, yet fun; and the pedis were quite thorough with a foot rub and stone message, all for just $ 35.
Our feet and nails were looking great! (Too bad it’s still March in New England, so we won’t be able to show off the great craftsmanship that went into them.) As I mentioned, one of my friends got the shellac – HOT! But then there are pros and cons to it, so do your research first.
All in all I’d definitely go back to Hollywood Nails again.

I booked an appointment 1 ½ hours in advance for a pedicure. When I arrived I was immediately seated in one of their chairs with massage. The woman began within 10 minutes of my arrival even though they looked very busy.
It was your basic pedicure with the addition of an individual choice of scented lotion (great because I generally don’t like a lot of scents), and a hot stone leg massage included.
Overall, I spent a little over an hour including drying time. It was a solid pedicure but not the best I’ve ever had. The cost was $ 25 + tip (which you can not add to your credit card).

The mani/​pedis here are the best. They last forever! I won’t go anywhere else. On top of that, the staff is super nice and accomodating. Only bad thing is some of the massage chairs don’t work at the pedicure station.

I went in to get my upper lip done… the women took one look at my eyebrows and was like «are you joking?» (they were really small) so she is helping me get my eyebrows to look normal. The prices are great and they are are super helpful. Going back today!
