I never write reviews. But I need everyone to be aware! Last week I went to get my nails done. I was already turned off that they wanted $35 for a full set but I put that aside and tried to give them a chance. When I got there the guy said he had another appointment and told me to come back in about an hour. I told him it was okay I'll just wait till he's done. About 5 mins later he told me to sit in the chair and he'll start until his appointment came in. About another 5 mins later his appointment came in. He told me to sit at another table and this lady sized me for my acrylic. It was clear she didn't know what she was doing since she had another lady over her ear telling her what to do and she kept taking one size off and putting the same size back on. Very frustrating! Then another lady came and sat down and started sizing my right hand and cutting my nails. I was very irritated at that point because why is there 3 people doing my nails?? I told her how long I wanted them and as she was cutting two had already popped off on top of that she didn't match my hands up to make sure they were even before I could say anything she told me to go back to the waiting area and the guy would finish my nails. I waited for him for about 10 mins. When he finally got to me as soon as he saw my nails he started shaking his head and asked me if this how long I want them I told him to cut them a little more and he also did not match up my nails to make sure both hands are accurate. He then brought out the acrylic and he put so much acrylic on my nails that it came out really thick. As he's doing my nails he's shaking his head the whole time which is a big indicator of something wrong. He asked me the shape I told him square he then started buffing so fast and hard he burned me with the buffer because it was so hot. After all the buffing my nails looked like I did them myself and don't get me started on the paint job. A blind person could've done better. I was VERY ANGRY leaving the nail salon considering the fact I paid $35 for nothing. Oh and on top of that he discounted a lady for waiting for so long but I waited for about an hour and had to pay full price. If there was a rating less than 1 I would give it to them will not be back and would not recommend. Also two of my nails have already popped off.. Read Less

Great owner with very customer-oriented vision and service. Friendly atmosphere and clean space. I ended up waiting quite a bit since they were busy but the owner made sure to provide the best service and was attentive. I could sense that he cared about building trusting relationship with customers. Read Less

Great salon! My mother and I have been going here for years 10+ years and the service is always consistent and you can't beat the price! All of the employees are very nice and professional and great at what they do. The salon itself is very clean and has a great color selection. The owner Kevin is extremely friendly and runs a great business.Highly recommended, especially if you are local to the area. Thank you so much! :-) Read Less

I have been going here nails for 4 years and I absolutely love it. There is no other Salon in the area that I would recommend over Chestnut Hill Nails. The staff is friendly and extremely talented. My nails are never a disappointment. Read Less

He's lucky  i didn't report him ..I found a place that is good to me and make more money n the clients is awesome! Read Less

This local gem is truly an amazing find! Everyone asks me where I got my "pink and white" nails done, and I almost want to lie because I dont want to share Kevin! Kevin is AMAZING. He is a perfectionist and will take the time and effort so every detail is up to his standards. He will go to the ends of the earth to accomodate you, and will always find time to fit you in and provide a great price. There is nothing he cannot do, and my nails last at least 3 weeks! Read Less

I moved to Chestnut Hill last year and tried a few places. Not until I found Chestnut Hill Nails was I satisfied. Like the other reviewers have commented, it is a no frills salon that does an excellent job. Well priced and I adore Kevin. Do not hesitate to use this salon.  Do not park in the Century Bank lot. They tow. Read Less

I never review but I don't think this place deserves such a low rating so here I am. Nothing fancy, but I got a gel manicure that lasted a solid 3 weeks, about twice as long as my normal salon in NYC. Nice pedicure too. Will be going back today - I waited a whole extra week so I could come back to this salon, lets hope they don't disappoint ! Read Less

As a long time customer of CH Nails, I was surprised at this old, negative 1-star review. As a long time Yelper, I'm here to fix this. Don't come here if you're looking for a fancy, new $$$ or high tech nail salon -- because it clearly isn't. What it is -- is a relatively inexpensive, efficient salon where the girls working there have been consistent (some for many years), friendly, and who will give you what will likely be one of the better mani/ pedies that you'll get. Kevin, the owner, has a gentle, strong hand and I'm always happy to "get his chair" whether I'm a walk-in or have an appointment.PS:  Don't park in the lot across the street. A sure tow and theres always a nearby meter if u need one Read Less

They are actually not bad at all, I am definitely a fan of this nail salon. The workers were really friendly and talkative. Also usually when i do my acrylic nails, by the second week most of the nail polish has chipped and a few of the nails has come out. However, When they did my full set acrylic i was in the third week and not one nail came out and the color was just wearing out on just the tip. The second time i went, it was pretty good. The lady doing my nails took her time with my nails making sure every process was well done. She also made sure she cleaned up and sterilized the equipment when she was done. At the end of the day my nails looked great!! I always get compliments when i walk out of this nail salon. After my second visit i took their card and will definitely be a regular customer.

I literally became a member of Yelp just so that I could stick up for Chestnut Hill Nail Salon... because the only other review on here- the one star review, is just absurd and not accurate. I am from a family of all girls (3 sisters). We all get manis and pedis on a regular basis. We all CHOOSE to go to chestnut hill nails and have been going for about 10 years. It is clean, inexpensive, convenient and thorough. Kevin (the guy who owns it) knows all of our names, and many of the women there know us as well. They always ask about how my Mom is doing and we talk about their kids and what is going on in their lives, very friendly staff- even if some of them speak limited english. I have NEVER had any hygiene issues from coming here. My pedicures literally last as long as I need them to, no chipping, no rubbing off, nothing. Also, if you screw up your nails on the way home or the next day or something, you can come in and they will fix it for free... i always offer to pay, they never accept. Also, they are very attentive to working on the calluses on your feet, ingrown toe nails, whatever you need. The majority of the customers at Chestnut Hill Nail Salon are also regulars. I see the same people frequently and they also know the staff. They appreciate it if you make an appointment, but you can also just walk in, even when they are busy... they have squeezed me in more times than I can count.It is by no means a fancy operation, but I enjoy going there, they do a great job and work quickly, and the price is right.

I am hating that my 300th is going to be negative, but some things cannot go left unsaid! The ire I felt after getting my nails done here is wearing off. Must review before it is too late.So, try as I may, no one in the area wanted to take my money for a mani/pedi Saturday. The Healthworks Spa was booked, the fancy nail place on the walk home from the Spa was booked, and I was in dire need for some care for my rough feet and increasingly annoying ingrown nail.Alas, the miraculous Michelle of Wet Paint was now a 20 minute drive away. I love her, but I think getting on the Pike to get my nails done is excessive, even for me. So off to the local place near my new digs. I try to avoid the $35 mani/pedi places after having some bad experiences and being completely and utterly spoiled by Michelle, but I thought I would give it a try. Never again. I waited around at the front desk for a while before someone started yelling at me from the back while she was doing someone else's feet. I yelled back. "Pick your color!" she screeched. Ugh.I climbed into the chair and started soaking away. The lady doing my nails was so rough - no smile, no nothing. No asking me if I had anything in particular in mind. She BARELY exfoliated, she didn't even touch the problem toes, even after I asked, and went through the motions while chatting with her friend who was DOING MY MANICURE AT THE SAME TIME.As the pedicurist was shaking me around and moving my feet, another girl (who was really sweet) was cutting my nails, doing my cuticles, etc. I think she would have done a fine job if she were sitting, but since there was so much movement, it was not going well. So, as I watched the pedicurist throw some polish onto my still dry and cracked feet, I was dreading the other girl would do the same as she balanced all her tools, solutions and water bath on the edge of my seat and held my hand in hers as she painted my nails.Oh - on a side note, there is NOTHING as disturbing as looking into the cleaning solution that all the instruments are in and seeing a snow storm of dead skin and nails tumble around every time she puts a utensil back in. Change the solution please!She did end up doing an ok job on my hands. I REALLY missed Michelle's paint brush and polish remover while she was scraping away polish spillage with her nails, though. Overall, rough and incomplete service, unmaintained cleaning supplies and an unwelcoming atmosphere. Don't go. Just don't. Read Less
