About City Nails

City Nails is a nail salon on Union Street in Lynn, offering appointment based service through the week. Pedicures are part of the regular lineup, alongside acrylic fills and refills for clients maintaining an existing set. The salon operates Monday through Saturday and stays closed on Sundays, giving clients a consistent weekly schedule to plan around. Appointments are booked in advance rather than handled on a walk-in basis, so clients arrange visits ahead of time for both pedicure and acrylic work.

Customer Review Summary

Acrylic fills and full sets are what most reviewers describe, with several praising nail techs who "take their time" and listen to requests, delivering results diners call some of the best they've found. Pedicures draw closer scrutiny: one reviewer paid fifty dollars for a pedicure with no hot towels or spa touches and says a request for a fix met pushback, while another reports paying sixty five dollars for a refill with no color, just clear polish and glitter, and no pedicure at all. Rushed appointments are a recurring complaint too, including a French tip described as hurried and another set that took over two hours yet came out "too short and poorly painted." A few note nails weakening or a pinky nail popping off within a week of a fill. One reviewer also describes a persistent sewer-like odor in the salon. One reviewer who returns despite living far away describes hour and a half visits for a pedicure and acrylic fill as time efficient.

    “I typically don’t go to City Nails, but over the past few months I have been coming here more often because driving out to Providence has become a hassle, especially during the day with kids and traffic. To be fair, some of the nail techs do a good job on hands but it’s inconsistent. Not everyone provides the same level of quality. However, when it comes to pedicures, I would not recommend this place at all. I was charged $50 for a service that did not match the price. There were no hot towels, no real spa experience, and overall it felt very basic. On top of that, when I asked for a correction, there was pushback instead of simply fixing it, which is frustrating as a paying customer. We know our own bodies and should feel comfortable speaking up without being dismissed. Another major concern is the cleanliness and smell of the salon. Every time I’ve come in, there has been a strong odor that honestly smells like a sewer. For a business that is charging these prices and bringing in consistent clients, the environment should reflect better sanitation and care. Overall, you’re paying premium prices without receiving a premium experience. I hope improvements are made, because right now the service does not justify the cost.”

    “You ask for one thing, and they do another. The nails turned out ugly—too short and poorly painted. To top it all off, the technician took over two hours, and the nails ended up looking horrible: badly done and badly painted.”

    “helen and diane are my hero’s! me and my friend come here and they always do a great job! it’s affordable, long lasting and clean. the staff are very kind and gentle as well. we both got a pedicure and an acrylic fill and it took 1hr and a half. very time efficient, overall 5 stars. will come back even though we live far.”
  • Homes Unlimited Real Estate Corp
    “If there was a minus star, I would give it to them. These people answer back to the customers, it’s not what the customer asked for. On the other hand, they are very expensive. They only did a refill and the sparkle, there is no color it’s only transparent and the sparkling thing on top. They charge me $65. No pedicure.”
