I had the pleasure of getting a full manicure and pedicure at Nailosophy in Brookline the other day! Grace did a great job with both! Super cute, clean, and professional nail salon! Can’t wait for my next visit!

I got a very nice deluxe pedicure here. The pedicure itself was really good, and the staff were very friendly and thorough. Im only taking a star off because for the prices I paid, I would have expected the facilities to be a little more upscale. There were no massage chairs, no jets in the foot bath, and I couldnt adjust how close/far I was sitting from the footrest, so I was a little uncomfortable. But if youre looking for a high-quality pedicure, I would recommend this place.

I had a wonderful experience here 🥰. The staff were extremely nice and friendly. Especially my nail technician - Trinnie, I gave her a difficult nail design but the result turned out perfectly beautiful and satisfying.☺️ I would definitely recommend this place and I myself will come back in the future.💕

I called to let them know I’d be 20 minute late which they said was fine, but when I arrived it took them another hour before they saw me. The design they did on my dip powder nails was cute but there was basically no clean up and nail polish all around my fingers. Unfortunately this was not worth the $80 I spent.

I’m leaving 2 stars because my nails do look nice and they shaped them well. The salon is clean. But what I got done was just an acrylic fill with gel color, it took two hours- usually at most salons it takes 45 mins MAYBE an hour. I think they were training a tech which is fine if they let me know, she was super slow and they switched nail techs 3 times which the first switch I was okay with since the first girl was being so slow. They didn’t switch for other customers while I was there just for me. And I don’t understand why they had to switch so many times as I wasn’t getting a design or anything difficult to do just a refill for my acrylics. So they switched from tech #1 who I think was training, to tech #2 then tech #3 then back to tech #1. I booked a 3:30 appointment planing it would take 45 mins-1 hour as I had somewhere else to be at 5:30 I figured a two hour block would be more than enough time. It was 5:15 when I let the salon know I had to leave and couldn’t wait any longer for her to finish my nails.

I had an awful experience at the place I usually go to to get my nails done, so I decided to try Nailosophy. Thank god I did because I was truly blown away at how amazing my experience was. My technician was super friendly and did a great job on my nails! The customer service and overall vibe was immaculate. I will definitely be coming back! :)

My pedicure was lovely. My nail tech paid very close attention to cleaning my cuticles and everywhere around my toenails. The paint job was great and looked super clean. Will quickly become a regular here 😃

I got the best pedicure at Nailosophy. It is a lovely place, clean, and a great location. The staff are friendly and professional. The owner, Trinie, is super cool. She made me feel so welcomed. Even though it was my first time there, she treated me as if I have been a customer for years. Mena is absolutely wonderful ; she was so attentive and skillful. I swear it was the best pedicure I have ever had . She helped me to pick a trending color for the summer and I love the color. They have a great selection of colors. The place has a wonderful atmosphere, it makes you feel so relaxed . I highly recommended for anyone who wants to be pampered .

Mena made my dry winter cuticles look BRAND NEW, and my dip manicure looks amazing. She took her time and was super meticulous, which I appreciated. 1,000/10 recommend

Review №13

I had called previously to schedule a GelX manicure.I verified twice and they ended up doing regular acrylic instead. The lady also did a messy job with my French nail and got frustrated that I pointed it out. I had also asked for a coffin style and she did the exact opposite.Terrible experience wouldn’t recommend. Poor communication.

I was nervous at first cause finding a consistent place to get my nails done in Boston was sooo hard!! But i will definitely be back. After I got comfortable being here it was a great experience. Everyone is so nice and they are very silly lol grace, kimmie, and trinnie were really fun to chat with and they were all very thorough with their work ! Like these people don’t let you leave looking a hot mess 😭😭 I realized after I left that I chose a different nail color for my nails than my feet. But it’s okay, they still did a great job and I’ll definitely be back and probably be a regular ♥️🤞🏾🥰

Love Nailosophy. Katie. The owner, is a woman entrepreneur running her own biz in hard times, but always with a smile and always professional. Great manicures and pedicures. Love the hot wax for the feet as an extra during the winter. Highly recommend this place.

Review №17

The mani/pedi was mediocre. The stylists don’t pay attention to detail. They didn’t do a great job filing or shaping my nails and the paint job wasn’t great either. I do a regular mani/pedi (no gel). Maybe they do a better with gel or dip. The entire process felt rushed. It was the quickest mani/pedi I ever received. I am going to have to get my nail re-done because they don’t look great.

It was my first time here and i chose it based on the reviews but honestly its way too expensive. I had an appointment and had to wait 20 mins. Since it was my first time, i accidentally didnt select the right services and the technician didnt seem too happy about it because of the time length (which i apologized for because it was my first time and i didnt know what to select). The technician also kept coming and leaving to take care of other customers. I understand that theyre short handed but because of it my nails were really rushed which didnt seem too fair considering everyone else had their technicians the entire time. Overall it was good work but just seemed disorganized.

I like coming here. They use new supplies for each customer, very organized and the job they do. I forgot her name the person who help me she did a very good job making sure all was perfect and redid one since by mistake I hit one nail even though I told her it wasn’t bad or big deal. I recommend for all to come here.

I never do reviews, however this place is by far the best nail salon Ive been at in all my years of going to the nail salon. They are accommodating, friendly, and engaging. You definitely get what you pay for ok. Nailosphy you have a new customer!!!! Its a 5 star for me. Oh and the utensils they used is all new straight out the package my favorite.

Review №31

I came in for an eyebrow waxing with Katie. I really liked the online sign up system that they offer. When I arrived I was asked to wash my hands and then Katie brought me into the waxing room. It may have been the time of day or their current protocols, but there were few people in the salon so it was quiet and I felt comfortable since I didn’t have to get very close to anyone to reach the restroom and waxing room. Everything Katie used was clean and fresh which I appreciated. They are also currently offering the option to pay and tip through Venmo to reduce physical contact. My only negative thought about the whole experience was that the wax was kind of tough/not as warm as I’m used to, so it was a bit uncomfortable when she was spreading it on my skin. Otherwise I was happy with the results and will likely return in the future

On family travel (met covid guidelines & had negative tests) - Chose this salon based on excellent reviews, location and talking to the owner via phone prior re safety measures. It was our service since Feb due to covid. The salon was dirty, not clean as I expected from reviews. We were asked to wash hands upon arrival (great!), but the bathroom clearly hadn’t been cleaned - sink was dirty, trash overflowing. We didn’t even want to be inside of it. The covid safety measures were inconsistent. No one took our temperature, yet we witnessed others who came after us receive temp checks. One had a high temp reading & was told to rest INSIDE until it lowered bc tech ASSUMED it was overheating from the walk. We also did not experience friendly service - the owner got clearly frustrated when my young daughter asked for one nail to be changed. Upsetting bc it was her birthday and she felt bad about even asking. And my technician lamented randomly about friends not being important. Since we were there for a special occasion, we endured the experience, tipped & got out. Overall, it was a disappointing & uncomfortable experience and I wish we had chosen another salon. Would never go back or recommend.

Review №35

The service was ok. I walked in and no one noticed at first. Then, the guy who was doing my nails kept having to go between doing my nails and answering the phone. I would have been ok with this except after I left, he used the information to book the reservation to LOOK ME UP ON LINKEDIN, which was SUPER unprofessional and creepy. Never going back.

This is the best nail salon in Brookline. Attentive and knowledgeable personnel Always perfectly clean and generous service. Dazzle dry products that last like gel but do not have the inconvenience of gel removal. Family owned. I recommend it without reservation.

This is a great salon! Friendly staff, calming environment, lots of colors and services to choose from, and their lotions and scrubs smell AMAZING. Ruby did an excellent job on my pedicure; she was so attentive and kind when I immediately messed up one toe and it needed to be re-painted. The man who rang me up (I’m so sorry I forget his name) was incredibly kind as well. Their prices are reasonable for the area and quality and the location is easy to get to from the green line B or C and the 66 bus. They also did a great job of maintaining sanitary/social distancing practices in the wake of COVID. Thank you!

I love Nailosophy! The service is excellent and the place is so clean. I’ve tried a lot of nail salons in Brookline and this is my favorite by far. The technicians are meticulous, my gel manicure lasts for ages, and I love the customized pedicures! Do yourself a favor and stop by Nailosophy.

I cant say enough about this salon and their technicians, or should I say artists. They are very conscientious, patient, and make sure the customer is very well satisfied. It is a very relaxing environment that does not at all make one feel as if they are just another customer. Katie and Hayles nail art abilities are also something I havent been able to find in a long time! I recommend Nailosophy for anyone that wants a top of the line mani of any kind. Next up will be a pedicure and Im certain it will be just as excellent!
